And the other is Papua New Guinea! Which I heard is a very beautiful place, which is absolutely unrelated.

I hear that pushing a large object out of a vagina is quite taxing physically and mentally.

Oh, right, in the United States where maternity leave is seen as a necessary evil to allow women to recover their bodies. Plenty of nations give very long maternity leave (and some paternity leave) because it is for the health of the family as a whole and to solidify bonds and to give the child a healthy start. It's a pity that the US views women as factories for infants with fathers as nonplayers that can simply ditch them to a baby sitter and get back to work. Isn't that a little fucked up? Like, shouldn't a dad be there to bond with his kid for such an important period of their life? My dad (Russian, btw) took six months off work to care for me. That's some dedication.

Basically it was an old study that compared all money made by men and all money made by women.

Bare in mind men take more dangerous jobs, usually have seniority as they're prepared to barter and negotiate for better pay/promotions, are better educated and don't take years out to have kids.

The problem with the discussion of the pay gap is that people seem to oversimplify it to "women are paid less for the same jobs as men." In a lot of industries and workplaces, that's not true. However, the pay gap exists due to a subtle sexism prevalent in industry and society, where it can be difficult for a woman to first enter an industry that is male-dominated and to rise up when there are fewer successful female figures in that industry. For example, it's not as if the super successful part of the tech sector really doesn't wanna hire any women, but it can be daunting for women to get a computer engineering education or to otherwise penetrate those job markets when there are fewer women there to begin with. The fact that the United States doesn't even do unpaid paternity leave (and yeah, paid maternity leave) is actually a real problem.

Just a little note: The mechanism of efficacy in ketosis is not as simple as "burns fat cells instead of carbohydrates", considering that it can be calorically equal to any other diet and everything ends up as glucose anyway, whether taken from glycogen or converted from fat. But yeah, it definitely can work pretty well; a few hypotheses about how it's more efficient (from "Ketogenic Diet for Obesity: Friend or Foe?" by Antonio Paoli):

1. Reduction in appetite due to higher satiety effect of proteins [38,40], effects on appetite control hormones [41] and to a possible direct appetite suppressant action of the ketone bodies [42];
2. Reduction in lipogenesis and increased lipolysis [33,43];
3. Greater metabolic efficiency in consuming fats highlighted by the reduction in the resting respiratory quotient [39,44,45];
4. Increased metabolic costs of gluconeogenesis and the thermic effect of proteins [37,46].

Point is: I wouldn't say it's for everyone, considering how people sometimes fuck up and end up getting cholesterol problems with it, but it's a neat tool for sure. I known a couple of people who had success intermittently fasting before a bikini/fitness competition.

I've been harassed by legit players for scores more than I have by TNT. Like, woo, those people who obsess about Kad feeding...
