First off, no sources. Secondly, a little digging shows the data are grossly misrepresented: https://pa.media/blogs/fact-check/fact-check-international-data-on-online-comments-arrests-not-comparable/. While the UK is arguably becoming more authoritarian, most of those arrests were probably not for social media posts but things like stalking

Yeah or there are some women who have unreasonable expectations of men just like there are some men who have unreasonable expectations of women. Likely in part due to the huge number of 'influencers' who lie about using steroids, making false body images for both men and women

Why would people need to do their own research when doing the research is literally the job of journalists?

Unfortunately it's very explicable. Economic uncertainty causing growth in nationalism and right-wing authoritarianism

According to Wikipedia'income inequality by sovereign state China ranks number 34 so actually are doing quite well in that metric, especially considering the UK and US are 172 and 173 out of 180

This one annoys me because sleep latency isn't taking a long time to sleep, it's a measure of the amount of time people take to fall asleep. Most people have a sleep latency of about 15 minutes

My best example of this is labour forming in 1900 and first coming into power in 1923. If people had said they have no chance and used that as a reason not to vote for them, they never would have made it. The tories were in for 15 years, so if people actually voted for already-established Green or Lib Dem in that time, then we could have seen a meaningful change in the political landscape

If you panic that hard at a pedestrian being on the road, you shouldn't be driving in the first place. They could have 1) slowed down/stopped, 2) used the other lane to pass her with ease

Also from an evolutionary standpoint, they're the most important. You can procreate if you lose a hand, but good luck if you lose your balls. It makes sense to keep all the important stuff safely tucked away, even if the armpit probably isn't very erotic

Arguably most of these could be matched, if not beaten, by just using Google scholar and knowing how to search correctly. But most people aren't searching for academic sources through Google since they're typically written for other researchers and not lay audiences

Stones in glass houses. Also, the west had a big hand in creating the China that exists today by relying on them for manufacture and creating a consumerist culture that fuels it

Agreed. The idea that casting a black person as Snow White is a win for black people really misunderstands the point of decolonialism and those in power will be glad of the distraction it brings from real issues

Would've been a high tackle anyway with no control of his body. That hand off saved him from a bad foul

I got the train to Manchester and all I saw coming down the steps to Piccadilly was a homeless man on spice with two police officers next to him

Not sure how taking part in the opening ceremony for your country's Olympics is selling out. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to support peace and unity, sounds pretty metal to me

No shame in getting scammed. These guys are pros at manipulating people into sending them money, their experience of scamming people is far greater than anyone's experience of avoiding scams

Read it. No idea how it won a prize but it sure was ahead of its time pointing out that women would choose a bear over a man

Yeah my colleague's rent just went from £800 to £1500 because the landlord 'has' to meet 'market rent'
