Something to keep in mind with studies are outside social factors such as less women playing chess and less women being exposed to chess at a young age. There are fewer women in chess and fewer girls learning chess, for probably centuries. This will have a factor when comparing two demographics.

Funny, I was just listening to the album this morning and was chuckling at the lyrics to one of the songs, which explicitly state no homo bro.

Yeah honestly as a gay woman myself I thought there wasn't enough LGBT representation. Apparently there are two barbies who kiss on a couch at one point but it was so quick I didn't see it, my friend had to tell me about it. There really wasn't a lot of any sort of sexuality in the movie. Which makes sense, they don't have genitalia.

Hey speak for yourself, I was forced into French immersion school by my parents with promises of good government jobs. Now I can understand French but Quebecois is a whole different beast 😂

As far as I've read, that price is for both no ads and Ultra which I guess gives you more perks). For just no ads it is significantly less. For no ads in my version it's $30CAD, which is a high price but is much much less than $100+CAD

I don't know if this article is new, but if I recall correctly there was a bunch of articles like this around the second wave of COVID, as people were speculating he had dropped a ton of weight due to being super sick. If this is from that time, that's probably the angle they were going for, rather than gossiping about his eating habits like a tabloid magazine.

This is how my mom texts, and it's always a fun game trying to figure out what she's trying to say

The Princess Bride, and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Both have so many great lines they still crack me up every time!

That's interesting, I know the one I have now can go between the two and is just defaulted to F, but growing up the one in my childhood home only showed F. I never really understood the numbers in relation to the temp either, I just would notch it up or down a few degrees depending on how cold I was 😂

So here (and maybe it's just my family?) I've always seen the home thermostat set in F, while the weather outside is strictly C. So like my house is set at 70f but if I were talking about outside I'd use C. Which is funny because the thermostat in F also means nothing to me, I just notch it up or down a few degrees depending on how cold I am in the winter 😂😅

Ontario checking in, 100% accurate. Actually I would add home temperature (like the thermostat) under F, but body temperature (like checking if you have a fever) under C. Also we're so used Americans using miles for distance/speed we'll sometimes use it in idioms ("They ran out of here at 100 miles per hour!”). I never realized this change between measuring systems wasn't the norm until I started chatting with Europeans.
