Cool pics!

"Japanese men’s contributions to domestic tasks remain very low and the gender imbalance in domestic labour is still notable. The persistence of unequal gender roles at home in the face of expanding economic opportunities for women has made balancing work and family life very difficult for married women – lessening the appeal of marriage." This is very true (even in other North Asia countries like Korea). There is the (true?) stereotype of the Japanese salary man going to work, going out with his colleagues or customers after work to drink, coming home drunk, falling into bed, sleeping, getting up the next morning and going to work, and repeating..............

Yeah, but they dress classier...

@George-K said in Experts: If you take population growth into consideration, the number of doctorates in 2020 is still three times what it was in 1958. I agree that a lot of current PhD's areas of studies are kind of goofy, but I also think that one reason the number has gone up is that there are a lot more foreign graduate students now studying at US universities as compare to (for example) 1958.

Looks like one of those scientific displays you see in old laboratories. LOL

The document lists “misinformation” as a potential election crime, describing it as “false or misleading information spread mistakenly or unintentionally.” Well, then, every politician is a suspect.

And for a woeful P.S. from ESPN: "After starting the season 2-0 in beating the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints on the road, the Bucs had a 98% chance of making the playoffs and a 93% chance of winning the division, according to FPI. After losing to the Green Bay Packers and Kansas City Chiefs, their Week 5 win over the Atlanta Falcons gave them a 97% chance of making the playoffs and a 94% chance of winning the division. But after losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers on the road, they’re now at a 67% chance of making the playoffs with a 61% chance of winning the division." GO BUCS.

I realise that the op-ed is satire, but it also belies an inferiority complex that, in my opinion, is unwarranted. The National Post is not a bad paper - it is not a tabloid. It is a small c conservative newspaper that is, for the most part, factually accurate in its reporting. It’s counterpart in the UK would be The Daily Telegraph. On an equal footing with Globe and Mail, The National Post is indisputably a nationally recognised and credible English language news source. Like the Globe and Mail it serves a demographic that is more often than not, university educated with professional credentials and/or in management positions corporately and in public service. One might even say it is popular among the nation’s Anglophone elite.

Biden was never anything but a placeholder. Both parties should be out scouring the streets for acceptable candidates. Not saying exciting, not even saying above average; just people -- men -- who are marginally competent, who we the people can freaking live with. For a change.
