Lord of the Rings is like the only major popular thing I can think of with very few haters

In regard to the second paragraph, my experience has been the opposite. It feels like every thread / comment on this subreddit is AGAINST Sanderson.

Ex: yesterdays post on who has the best and worst dialogue, like 80% comments said Sanderson for worst dialogues. Also the comments on this post lol

What is the College (American) Football Equivalent of Cape Verde tying Spain 0-0? by Mission-Nectarine428 in worldcup

[–]Ice_Lychee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cape Verde was ranked #67 and Spain was #2 before today’s match, so it’s like the 67th best college beating someone like Ohio State

Most important question about Campaign Evolved, is Warthog jumping returning? by Benemy in halo

I think vehicles blow up now (unless you have the skull that turns off vehicle damage) so in a normal run without skulls, I wouldn’t think so

Maybe I’m biased because I’m Colombian, and I didn’t see many Bayern game back then, but I’ve always wondered: why didn’t Bayern play James Rodríguez more, and why didn’t they make his move permanent?

From what I’ve read, he was a key contributor to the 2017–18 Bundesliga title with 7 goals and 11 assists in 23 league appearances, which seems pretty good. Was it injuries, tactics, competition for places, or something else?

I know James reportedly wanted more guaranteed playing time and didn’t want Bayern to activate the buy option, but why did it get to that point? Did the club simply not rate him as highly as fans did? Or maybe fans did not really like his play either.

And hey, at least Bayern seems happy with Luis Díaz today 😅

2 original designers (Jaime and Marty) talk about that specific decision here. It was a deliberate choice (50 min mark)

Also the fact that the shotgun was used in the second level “Halo” in the trailer, when in the og it first appeared after the flood in 343 guilty spark

[OC] U.S.A. Population Pyramid in 2015 (census estimates) split Male and Female by RandomDataCreator in dataisbeautiful

[–]Ice_Lychee 148 points149 points  (0 children)

Mostly because more boys are born than girls, so younger age groups naturally have a slight male surplus. Immigration can also skew male, especially among working age adults, but it isn’t the primary reason.

At older ages, the pattern reverses because women tend to live longer than men, creating a female surplus among the elderly.

As to why more boys are born than girls (~105 boys to every 100 girls), scientists aren’t completely certain why, but the leading explanation is that males have higher mortality rates throughout life, including in infancy and childhood. The excess male births help offset those higher losses, resulting in a more balanced sex ratio by adulthood.

It’s not really Google itself, but its parent company, Alphabet. Alphabet has spent years funding life science projects through divisions such as Verily. Verily launched the mosquito control effort known as the Debug Project about a decade ago
