It doesn't show for me unless I click through to Imgur, then it shows up fine. Probably the same for most people.

Weird. I couldnt get the link to work right on the forum here. Is it an imgur thing?

I figured it out. Should be fixed now
 
Other people are seeing it, so not sure what you're on about

I like how the deer is hiding behind the leaves

One day I'm gonna go for gold or silver. Have you heard of this crushed mother of pearl stuff? Comes as a powder, flakes, or more coarse. It offers a nice iridescence and can be died different colors to look like ruby sapphire etc. Looks real easy to work with.

Fill in the void, add super glue and sand to finish when dry.

yep i like the powders, the crushed stuff seems too coarse for fine work

I was curious about that. I worried the same but I also thought the powder may not be as shiny, like it would look more like a shiny paste rather then actual stones if that makes any sense?
 
Damn, I really am starting to get a little bit fat. In my teens, I did track and field, football, and ping pong at the same time with associated training hours. While in university, I did some jiu jitsu, running, and went to the gym 2-3 times a week.

Now in my mid-30s, I simply don't have the time, but at the same time, stress is increasing my calorie intake (e.g. at work).

Really need to find a regime that's gonna work for me. I am close to 180 pounds at 5 foot 9, which would be ok if it was muscle mass, but it is not (any more).

Don't have time or it's not a priority? Are u still in management consulting?
 
The Gendered Nature of Family Structure and Group-Based Anti-Egalitarianism: A Cross-National Analysis

JIM SIDANIUS

Department of Psychology
University of California, Los Angeles


ABSTRACT. Using 4 samples of adolescents from 3 nations (Australia, Sweden, and the United States), the authors explored whether the gendered nature of the family socialization environment affected young people’s level of group-based social egalitarianism. It was hypothesized that the greater the father’s influence in the family, the greater the children’s level of group-based social anti-egalitarianism. The results were consistent with the authors’ expectations. Children from father-headed households had the highest level of group-based social anti-egalitarianism; children from mother-headed households had the lowest level of group-based anti-egalitarianism; and children from dual-parent households were in between. Similarly, children from homes in which the father had the greatest decision-making power tended to exhibit the highest levels of anti-egalitarianism, whereas children from homes in which the mother had the greatest decision-making power displayed the lowest levels of social anti-egalitarianism. Family structure did not interact with either the nationality or gender of the child.



 
@Ruprecht any idea on why the George Soros thread was deleted?

I obviously don't care for the OP's insinuation or the posts that followed it, but I actually think that investment in immigrant enterprise is a really worthwhile cause and one that is worth discussing. I know I'm naive to think anyone's mind would change, but nevertheless.
 
It's not a surprise that males are less egalitarian than females, or that there is a weak but significant effect on the egalitarian tendencies of children depending on which parent has more decision-making power. Interesting read still. The more interesting part of male-dominated households to me is the asymmetry, and what I would expect is the difference in socialization outcomes when the mother is stronger in her limited role. That situation seems to work out okay, with families where "Dad was the boss but Mom was the one really running the house." I would expect that families with meek, subservient women would produce very anti-egalitarian children on average (among other problems, like gambling).

I merged it to the immigration thread. There's about 8 race threads and 5 immigration ones one the front page. I'm just going to merge or dump if there's a slight tweak to the topic at this point.

Yeah, I saw that just after I posted. Fair game.
