It is very possible there is a health concern. It is also very possible, as stated in the very beginning of the article, that this is a socio-economic/lifestyle correlation, and not causative or even involved in the health issues. In o

My ex-wife was able to avoid answering any question that would have made her look bad by breaking down crying and saying the proceedings were too stressful. Try that as a man and see where it gets you.

It’s always “Western society at large” in these conversations. These have for a long time only been social requirements of some women in order for some men to partner and reproduce. This is not “Western society” it is the cultural fabric, w

Better protections for men from the social consequences that some women architect purely out of spite would go a long way. I’m often in awe that we can both propose equal rights and responsibilities and sympathetically treat forty-year-old

So you’re saying more scalpers than I thought? More seriously I found 150 million active iPhones in the USA, which would make it roughly 0.12%, or we can use 40% of revenue to scale our original guess (since presumably the US contains a lar

The article mentions Apple has 1.2 billion active users. They need 0.014% of those to buy one to hit that number. The bigger question, also mentioned in the article, is how many of those preorders are scalpers.
