I've cited enough off just expanded abstracts to say, how would they even know? It's probably better than what I did, lol.

It probably aids in what the kids call "mewing" which is supposed to shape your chin/neck line. It probably doesn't work but people into "looksmaxxing" are into it.

Imagine your main exposure to Australian lingo is from the kids show Bluey and at and some point mum goes "fuck me dead."

It's more that time moves slower when closer to large masses.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, most countries have something like that. And then you've got the US and their Trump University, a thing that actually existed.

But really, lots of pay-to-attend stuff.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

That's more what I meant, same guy and all, but it doesn't quite fit that either. Little of both, really.

2005 is when the Xbox 360 was released, so... yeah, I guess. Only problem is it didn't get discontinued until 2016, similar issue with PS3. Like... GTA V has a 360 release, lol.

Interestingly, the other generation 7 console is the Nintendo Wii. It discounted earlier and came with weaker graphics so it genuinely feels like a retro system now.

I'm not going to weigh in definitively, but I would like to posit this question to XKCD or something.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, but does that hold up globally? There are 8 billion people out there, plenty without computers or curtains. My guess is wheels only win cause you can also count defunct wheels on landfill bound chairs and things-- is a door still a door if it's unhinged and scraped?

There's also a major issue: we have a lot of low selectivity colleges, which includes scam diploma mills. Other countries have some low selectivity institutions, but I bet the leaders in this survey have a higher proportion of them. That means there's inherent selection bias.

Should make sense; entry exams obviously filter out students with poor reading and math skills.

Yup. Also when abroad in areas without roaming. That constant looking for signal drops it so fast. (Maybe this can be a TIL for someone with low percentage like me...)

I do too, but my friend who hosts a "very professional" site I help manage doesn't want her and refuses to pay more than nothing. :(

Though she barely pays attention to the site so... hmm.
