Liberal vs. Conservative mental health study - what do you make of it?
by Brock Talon ina pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.
the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.
conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.

Canadian Residential School Deaths
by Simon inin case you haven't heard, they just discovered the remains of some 215 dead children at a so called canadian residential school.
they couldn't call it a death-camp could they ... it would be too obvious.. these were where indigenous children were taken, forcibly, in order to "educate" them out of their native customs and languages and make them integrate with society.. unbelievably, this was still going on in the 60s to 90s.. of course the catholic church has their sticky fingers all over it.
what is it about those creepy bastards?

1. Killing members of a group - this can't be a definition of genocide. If it were, then all skirmishes in human history were acts of genocide, lol.
The British Empire did some terrible things - it got involved in slavery on an industrial scale, it took over other peoples' land, it killed natives, etc.
But genocide?
I seriously doubt it. The British Empire, like other empires, wanted to subdue other peoples, take their land, have access to their resources, and trade. It didn't want to wipe them out.
And that is what genocide is, wiping out, or attempting to wipe out, a group of people.

I'm currently not working, too.
I am going to college one day a week on an IT course.
(I graduated from uni in 2015 with a biology degree. I could do a doctorate because my BSc grade was good enough to jump up to a PhD but it isn't easy and I just don't have that desire at the moment. I guess I'm lazy!)
PS - I don't like living on Job Seeker's Allowance. For one thing, I don't like being dependent on the government. Another thing, I should be earning my own money and being independent.
Hopefully I can get a nice little job in IT after I complete my college course.
Long-term, I would like to try and go for a PhD if possible.

This is absolutely terrible.
A proper investigation is needed, with real bite and consequences. Anyone alive who was involved should be thrown in prison for ever.
These efforts to eliminate the native peoples can only be described as genocide - as bad as these actions were, I don't think they were actually genocide in most cases.
Maybe the German Empire's massacres in southern Africa amounted to genocide.
The Nazi's extermination of Jews was genocide.
The massacre and enforced slavery by ISIS on the Yazidis was attempted genocide.

The Queen's Gambit (2020) One of the most enjoyable miniseries I've seen in awhile
by TD inthe queen's gambit is a 7 episode netflix miniseries about a female chess prodigy in the 1950's and 60's.. the story chronicles the life of the fictitious character, elizabeth harmon (anja taylor-joy) from the time she learns the game as an orphan clear up to the point where she defeats russian grand master, vasily borgov (marcin dorociński) to become the world champion.. female grandmasters are a rarity, so i was afraid the series was going to morph into an anti-male screed.
(it easily could have).
nearly every male character in the series, from the gruff but kindly william shaibel, the custodian at the orphanage who taught her the basics of the game and fronted her the money for her first tournament to vasily borgov himself is gracious and clearly delighted to play against a woman so talented in a sport dominated by men.. two notable exceptions were her pos adopted father who didn't care about her or his wife and a russian player who got a little salty when she kicked his butt in 21 moves.

@Dropoffyourkey - yes, I was thinking something similar.
To be a top pro chess player, you have to basically live, breathe and sleep chess.
Men are more likely to go in for high risk/high reward behaviour.
Women typically tend to be more sensible and have different life balances, e.g. having children and child-rearing.
Feminists won't like to hear it but the average woman has XX chromosomes, is fertile, and wants children at some point.

No real surprise, I guess.
She couldn't think independently when she was a JW; she can't think independently now.
She's gone from one cult to another, lol.

Good OP.
I haven't seen it yet, I'll have to wait for it to come out on DVD.
I liked Anya Taylor-Joy in The Witch (2015).
I used to play chess a little when I was younger, but I kinda stopped at 15 and have never wanted to start playing again.
I also think it's slightly weird that professional chess is so dominated by men because it's a non-physical sport in that men's natural advantages of strength and speed mean nothing.
