Not many do. Yours didn't, for example.

Average out of which number? There has not been enough empires in human history to get any kind of valid statistical conclusion.

Also, the ancient egyptian empire lasted over 3k years, for you to get an average of 250y with such outlier you would need to include what, several 10y "empires", or divide empires by ruler. Which would then make the conversation moot since each US president would be a new "empire".

The claim comes from John Glubb, and he used this chart to make the average out of... 11 data points!?! While missing tons of other ancient empires that lasted thousands of years?!

This is the book where he makes such claim

So to answer your comment, yeah math is easy. Impossible to reach such average number with all the data though, given that it was made with a wildly incomplete and incorrect data...

Rn I'm in a project where everyone that has access to the code is given the role of owner of the group so we have permissions to skip any and all measures since owners don't care.

I'm so happy that tomorrow is my last day. So happy.

People that play 1-2 hours a day for the year for 5-10 years will have 3560 hours by the end of it. Anymore than that and it will be more.

+3k hours is not that hard for games that have been there for a while.

In school? Just marginalised can mean kids not wanting to be your friends, having difficulties forming groups for activities... All sorts of stuff that make your life harder. The word comes from the literal sense of being put to the margin, to the side, outside of the general circle.

It can easily devolve into being bullied aka made fun of for being different, kids using hurtful aliases to call you, hit you, abuse you...

Depends on where you live and all that but being singled out/marginalised can easily leave you in a position where bullies will pick on you and since you are alone, no one will defend you.

Made to feel different is a subtle way to say that she was marginalised. We are talking about school, so probably a gentle way to say she was bullied for it.

Also, she did mention getting singled out. I am pretty pedantic myself but dude, this is not the moment.

So are lgbt+ people, they are clearly a minority and yet their visibility is very important for the preservation or creation of their rights.

Yes, everyone is different, but normalising that difference instead of marginalising it is important.

No because best implies it's good. Least bad doesn't transmit the same message as best.

Wait, that's an ADHD thing?

Oh, then it didn't land on me, sorry.
