  • Oh, you mean word endings for plurals, well those depend on the gender and the singular word ending. They can be a bit confusing, because they're not always regular like local -> locaux, but naval -> navals. You have that in other languages too, even in english, like goose -> geese, but moose -> moose, mouse -> mice, house -> houses, and so on.

  • Yeah, the digital price only goes down for sales, otherwise even years after release you're paying full price. With discs you can buy from whatever store you want and usually prices go down a lot within a year (which you should wait anyway because games are too buggy at release).

  • Yeah, there used to be an instance for mostly synthesizer related stuff but they shut down and no alternative community took off. There also used to be a relatively active sci-fi community but then some drama happened and it died down a lot.

  • Looks more like Windows 7, the start menu button has the same height as the task bar, in Vista the start menu button is higher than the task bar. Also apparently Prof. McGonagall is teaching French.

  • The report you picked excludes quite a lot of victims as it's about intimite partner violence which it defines as:

    The term, intimate partner violence, refers to any physical or sexual violence, stalking, and/or psychological aggression by a current or former dating partner or spouse.

    For the full numbers not just for intimate partners you want this report https://www.cdc.gov/nisvs/documentation/nisvsReportonSexualViolence.pdf which confusingly has the same title. It states 2.3% of women raped in a 12 month timeframe and 0.3% of men being raped and 1.3% made to penetrate in the same timeframe, so 1.6% of men either raped or made to penetrate.

  • Those comparable numbers are only about the 12 months preceding the survey which is, while probably statistically significant, not the whole story.

    How's that relevant? It looks at one year and within that year the number of rape/made-to-penetrate victims is roughly equal for men and women. Unless there was something unusual happening that year or the same men are made to penetrate more often then women get raped, then if you extend the timeframe the numbers should change similarly for men and women.

    side note: I don’t know how the article got numbers for “being made to penetrate” specifically, the CDC article doesn’t seem to specifically say it. maybe I skimmed it wrong.

    From the 2011 study in the Results section:

    For men, the lifetime prevalence of being made to penetrate a perpetrator was an estimated 6.7% (>7.6 million men), while an estimated 1.7% of men were made to penetrate a perpetrator in the 12 months preceding the survey.
