A good observation. They make up 49% in the UK. Firstly, this difference is based on statistical extremes. Women and men are more the same than they are different, from a temperament perspective. Agreeableness is the big five dimension that

This is a canny observation, but not entirely complete. Japan has incredibly low unemployment, even lower rates of juvenile delinquency, homelessness and drug abuse. "Being more hierarchical" isn't really meaningful if you lo

If you are looking for a serious answer, vandalism is generally explained as a response to a social hierachy. When you feel you are at the bottom of the pile in relation to others around you, it has a variety of psychological effects. One o

this runs great on my modern gaming PC. The polygon count will always be lower than a current game, but it plays very well. Additionally, from a gameplay perspective, this got the scaling and scale right, it stands alone as a fantastic RPG

Proof of work is computing. Like any computing, like your home PC or laptop, running an application costs electricity, and perhaps slightly warms its nearby vicinity. A gallon of gas or a battery in a car may have a similar impact. A gallon

I know one that's why I was asking. They are supportive of the vaccine but cannot take it due to a rare blood issue. This has meant that they can no longer travel due to country and airline restrictions on non double jabbed people. It

Id assume this simply means that you will have a legal representative firm with a PO box and hardened phone number act as the whois holder instead rather than just paying godaddy to do it?

I'm puzzled by the do not discriminate bit, doesn't that mean you do discriminate by only choosing the names you can't pronounce? Minutae aside, as a European I'm shocked and appalled at that process, but surely an emplo

I don't think that it's caused by Conservatives alone... but I'm not sure I understand the point you are making with the sentence following? Millennials want to buy houses, regardless of parental status. Low interest rates an

British millennials have a particularly bad combo of low wages and world beating house prices to contend with. Older people will vote conservative, and block as many new housing projects as possible to ensure they keep "theirs".

The line is: what does societies weakest member look like. How do we stop those people being exploited. You then apply the action to everyone above that point.

Yes, popular movements get the terminology wrong, but the intention is correct. Dopamine is obviously a critical part of neurochemistry that isn't nearly as populist-simplified as "high or low". But these movements and discus

This seems right, dementia is correlated sleep quality and consistency which is correlated with the personality trait neuroticism (govens depression, anxiety, stability and negative emotion largely). This simply confirms the existing eviden

Doing hard things improves you, but ultimately your personality is largely defined by the time you stop being a child. Industriousness is very much a personality dimension and it is very hard to change. Industriousness is a measure of how s
