I’m a zoomer and my middle & high school had us do a large majority of stuff on a computer, so my handwriting kinda sucks now
whenever I use pen & paper now, I look at what I wrote and realize I still have the handwriting of a fucking 12 y/o. I also type a lot faster than I write
Yeah I feel like it’s mostly a cultural thing. In the past, women were discouraged (and at a certain point not allowed) from playing chess, so it’s always been a male dominated hobby
In general, women tend to be reluctant to get into male dominated interests and occupations when there isn’t a welcoming, large enough space for them (e.g. depending on gender roles and expectations, some countries have mostly male doctors, some have an equal amount of male/female doctors, and some have mostly female doctors). So there isn’t exactly a large enough pool of women who care enough to really get into chess and make achievements in it. it’s also just, kind of a boring hobby to get into imo
Ah yes, we should liberate women by restricting their freedom to wear what they want to wear 
the western white knight is here to let Muslim women know they don’t know what they’re doing because they’re small-minded and brainwashed
Also, weird how you bring up burqas under an article that doesn’t mention burqas. And you make it sound like only far-leftists are against a burqa ban when most liberals/moderates tend to be too.
Libya was military intervention not war.
In high school, I dm’d a guy in my class “you’re handsome bro”
His response was something like, “you too man I appreciate it!”
We both assumed each other were straight after that, but like a week before graduation, he randomly tells me he had a crush on me. And when I tell him I felt the same, he was like “damn I assumed that DM was probably only a compliment”
I love how some of the opening lines talks about interviewing a single Chinese person failing to run a business
One entrepreneur interviewed by The Wall Street Journal said that one of his businesses, a distributor for LED screens based in Shenzhen, is suffering from widening losses as overseas orders dry up, leading him to slash prices to compete for domestic clients. Having laid off more than 50 out of 120 staff since 2022, he said he is contemplating whether to shut the business this year.
They’re straight up gaslighting LMAO. This is an actual, recent headline from the wsj:
The Telegraph is the only one reporting this, we’re supposed to believe a sensationalist conservative tabloid?
