I’m a bit of a stickler for words myself. So i am sort of measuring my thoughts against the norm here.
There are lots of ways to apologize, but only a few good ways. Is “I owe you an apology” any kind of apology? If so, is it a good one?

They act as if it’s gonna kill them to wait a few seconds to walk across the street. Instead, they think it’s necessary to officially stop traffic in order for them to walk across the street. They do this in areas where the speed limit is like 35 mph, and expect drivers to come to a sudden screeching halt just because they need to cross the street. Wait 4-5 seconds for traffic to clear instead of expecting for someone to slam on their brakes. You don’t need to officially stop traffic because you need to cross the street. You are not that important. These people seriously piss me off

What the research says

Studies of redshirting have found pros and cons. Some research has found that any boost in achievement fades away as children get older. Redshirting could increase high school dropout rates because older students would reach the legal age for quitting school earlier. It could also disadvantage men by delaying their entry into the job market.

The older students consistently scored higher on tests in third grade and, to a lesser extent, eighth grade. They were more likely to attend college and less likely to go to jail as juveniles. The findings were true for children of all backgrounds, but especially for boys and for children from low-income family. These traits, which girls tend to develop earlier, have been shown to be crucial to academic success.

Children develop this kind of self-control through pretend play, and older children probably spent more time doing that in high-quality, play-based Danish preschools.

A study of 400K children in every state found that those with birthdays just before the kindergarten cutoff were significantly likelier to be diagnosed with ADHD than those with birthdays just after the cutoff.

What else could help, if not redshirting?

A better alternative to redshirting all boys, some researchers said, would be to make it optional for any student so that parents could choose whether it was right for their child, with advice from teachers and the option to attend an extra year of public pre-K.

An easier change, some said, would be to make the cutoff date for kindergarten earlier, so all children would turn 5 at least a few months before they start. Teachers could group classes by birth month, with the older kindergartners together in one class and the younger ones in another.

Also, schools could restore more of the play-based learning — like dress-up, art and nature exploration — that was much more common in kindergarten before 2000.

I certainly cannot comprehend how it is possible. And who benefits from life after death? Is a person (who may be many different things) that much important that the universe can't keep going without the continuous living of every human being who ever lived?

Its like for example the market for labor. Trends are created. If firms start giving certain perks to let us say accountants, then a firm who wants to employ an accountant has to give those perks also or else accountants will go to work with other firms where they are offering a better package.

Similarly if men (weak men) are always saying yes and giving in to whatever there girlfriend wants no matter how unfair the request may be, other men will have to do the same to get and keep a girlfriend because otherwise the will leave for another men who bows down for every whim of theirs.

If men learn how to stand their ground and act strong instead of like weak needy men things will improve pretty fast. If women face men who are resolute they will need to change their expectations.

As long as they arrest those you personally hate. Good luck

I think it’s a bad message as it’s so one-sided

This chart obviously shows a list of countries, ordered by percentage.

What does the chart show? What do the percentages mean?

If he is as good looking as he people say he is you also obviously have account for the fact that some will be in relationships

Do you do them by yourself? do you split it up with who you live with? or does someone else do them all?
