Does depend how close those graduates want to stay to 'their actual field'.
Most quantitative-adjacent research fields can make the age-old choice between '60k as entry-level Astrophysics researcher' and '130k as entry level data scientist'

I mean getting into research at a top tier University isn't exactly going to people with 2.1 GPAs. Unless they've got some identity boosters which would also likely help them a ton in the graduate hiring process.

I'd also be interested to see how the smoothing out of culture works, though and as immigrant populations get deeper roots
Like the culture shock from marrying a 4th-generation American who happens to be genetically from Southeast Asia is probably less than the culture shock of marrying a European who's fresh off the boat from Russia.

I did specify chromosomes for a reason. Still would expect 90%+ & to further that that like the vast majority of posts/comments will be coming from that side of the fence.

To the extent to which there is a new tendency, it seems very tempting to interpret it along the lines of "knowing less is better"; that is, at least at some crucial stage of relationship formation, the girls are incapable of feeling attraction towards guys in their circles as they actually are, and can only sustain it by projecting some counterfactual quality into the gaps of their ignorance towards a stranger.
I think it's more the perceived infinite universe of potential male partners provided by online dating makes it easier to essentially write off males in the friendgroup as triggering whatever 'ick' and/or compare real people against curated dating app images of strangers. I'm also curious how female sexuality has evolved with the modern slate of choices, since even going on Tiktok/IG generally provides a lot of examples of 'I was into X until he did Y that gave me incurable 'Ick'' and it's like... the vast majority of women to live have had vanishingly small pools of possible suitors which makes me skeptical that they were able to operate on such terms.

Some may be just generally bad; some may be unconsciously disinterested in a relationship; some may have personality traits that make them a bad prospect. The point is that women see highly sought after men who aren't good long term prospects.
Why would it be an unconscious preference? If you're the hypothetical 'Chad Thundercock' and just want to get laid, Tinder's providing you with ample opportunities to get your dick wet and generally working as intended. Honestly, so long as Chad Thundercock is direct and clear with his intentions on just getting laid I don't think that's even a bad result for the stack.
The main issue/corruptive agent are people who are working on false pretenses. The hypothetical 'Lovebomber' who presents as down for a long-term relationship for 3-4 dates then bails, who undermines the sincerity of the actually longterm-orientated (and can, frankly, lead to some bizarre expectations where longterm-minded girls assume that their 'sprinting' effort and 110% agreeability is something that an actual longterm prospect is gonna emulate)

The Motte is probably 99% XY Chromosomal and it's generally more productive as a male to sit down and think 'how can I play in this meta' as opposed to 'waah the meta is fucked due to certain activities'.

Aren't you literally a doctor in a society that's a fair bit more traditional/marriage-orientated than the West? Especially since certain characteristics that play well in your home market likely aren't gonna play as well in the West.

Especially as the pathway to finding that stability seems to involve having to play the hookup game for a bit and then picking from what you can 'score' from that

And I know this. Because 20-year-old me had an easier time courting 8's than 24-year-old me had with 6's. What gives? 24-year-old me could bitchslap 20-year-old me out of the room.
Yeah. SImilar experience.
4 year break from dating due to longterm relationship between 2018 and 2022
Genuinely would say I'm better at every category in terms of experience, weight, career, income yaddayadda and yet it's so much more of a grind now than it was. Both in terms of the quality of girls I can pull despite going from like a 4 to a 7, and the amount of psychological warfare involved in dating. People were generally less shitty 4 years ago

As a wise man once said, "Diversity is a code word for racial genocide."
And let's face it, folks, we've all seen the effects of diversity in action. It's not pretty. It's not peaceful. It's not harmonious. In fact, it's downright destructive.
But why is that? Why does diversity have such negative effects?
Well, the answer is quite simple: diversity is a threat to our racial purity. And when our racial purity is threatened, so too are our cultural traditions, our values, and our very way of life.
Now, I know what some of you might be thinking: "But isn't racial purity just a guise for racism and bigotry?"
Well, let me assure you, that couldn't be further from the truth. Racial purity is not about hatred or superiority. It's about preservation. It's about protecting what makes us unique and special as a people.
Think about it this way: if you have a beautiful garden full of rare and exotic plants, would you want to mix those plants together and risk losing their distinctiveness? Of course not! You would want to preserve each plant's individual beauty and characteristics.
The same goes for our racial purity. We must preserve the unique and special qualities of each race, rather than diluting them through miscegenation and mixing.
But wait, there's more! Not only does diversity threaten our racial purity, it also leads to conflict and division.
Just look at the state of our society today. The constant bickering and infighting between different racial and ethnic groups. The violence and unrest that erupts whenever different groups come into contact. It's all a direct result of the toxic brew of diversity.
So, let's do ourselves a favor and embrace our racial purity. Let's reject the false god of diversity and work towards a future where each race can flourish and thrive in their own separate and distinct ways.
That, my friends, is the path to true harmony and peace.

Disrupting the exercise habits and diets of millions of people likely would cause an increase in heart disease, as well.

Certain operators had a 8-figure liability on Trump so they pushed their price on Biden high enough that users could lock-in a small guaranteed profit by betting Biden with them and Trump on competitors.

Plus, in theory if you get the streamer addicted, you can probably pay them less and less and they'll still play your games on stream.
Having negotiated some of these deals, generally they're being paid an absolutely obscene amount of cash but have a minimum turnover requirement/additional payments for hitting certain hourlies.

Immunity debt is a possibility but needs more studies.
The whole COVID debacle illustrated pretty profoundly how much public health academica is a circlejerk of people who called for lockdowns then marking their own homework. Honestly the way that the period has killed a lot of trust in science & politicans will be one of the bigger legacies.

I think there's been some cultural impacts. Weirdly dating culture essentially getting shepherded onto the apps has proven stickier than people'd expect, but yeah as a whole the whole thing's been a bit of a nothingburger. Probably pointing towards it being hysteria.
Even a mass elderly die-off likely'd have been shrugged off after a year or two, in the hypothetical worst case scenarios.

Parimutuel only really gets used for horses these days, and even that's being eroded as fixed odds gets switched on. I've worked in the industry for a variety of different operators, in different roles, and generally the book's bankroll is so absurdly deep compared to the individual bettor that there's no significant sweats on day-to-day betting.
There's been some cases such as Mayweather-McGregor where there was an infinite supply of McGregor bets at large prices where a hypothetical win would have been very bad for the industry, but that's atypical. Trump-Biden was also another one of those down here in Australia where books had a sufficient potential liability on Trump they were literally encouraging arbitrage.

Eh.
You're assuming a fair marketplace. Bookies happily throw out/massively cut the betsizes of anybody who's even somewhat likely to win, and unless you're just rorting promos (which is actually pretty easy and free money as long as they last), sports betting markets are pretty damned efficient.
In a perfect world where bookies had to take 'sharp' action, I think this'd be a fairer take, but then again sharp action is so rare that most people aren't even cognizant that limiting is a thing.

I work in the industry and the whole thing is absurd.
Honestly unit economics on actually converting somebody from a non-gambler to a gambler are pretty awful in terms of cost per acquisition versus what a 'fresh' gambler will contribute. Takes a few years to mature.
But unlimited VC funds + not acknowledging a severe Pareto principle + growth metrics being all the rage have led to some very stupid decision making in the space of gambling market. All likely ends in tears, harder regulation and hiked tax rates.

Yes. Incredibly fair. Especially economic gains which were essentially illusory inflated 2020 ones which people are now endlessly crying about giving back to the market.
Admittedly I work in Crypto-adjacent fields and the amount of people who seem to feel that 2020/1 was pure inborn skill and that 2022 is somehow totally unanticipated..
We're also barely touching the tip of the iceberg of the lockdown fallout. Education disrupted, cultural shifts and all for... what, exactly

I'd personally consider it ghosting if, after meeting in person, somebody doesn't respond to an invitation/clear attempt to reach out and start a conversation.
I just think with Girl Logic sometimes there's a certain unspoken 'By responding to his polite after-date communication I've made it clear that he is permitted to continue chasing'
COVID response was a classic example of this. Aside from the very early days of pop-up hospitals, the logic was far more 'how do we preserve the current medical system with its red tape and bureaucracy' than 'how do we provide treatment efficiently'
