The gap between men and women in STEM is almost eliminated in more progressive countries like Norway and Sweden but the fact is in the US men outperform women in these fields by a large margin. Why this is true is not really relevant to the schools, they have to make decisions based on reality.

Sadly you're going to see a lot of schools doing this as a simple financial survival decision. Colleges want to maintain a high graduation rate, even the Ivy League. Top schools can do this by being selective in their applicants. However, if you can't afford to turn huge numbers of applicants...

Just dropped a game to a Druid going turn 1 coin, raven idol, raven idol, innervate, innervate, innervate, innervate, Ragnaros.

Pre-med has to take all four semesters of calc? That's news to me, I'm 99% sure the pre meds that were in my college classes weren't doing that.

Decks being able to do 16 from hand is a lot better than the previous situation where 16 from hand was the standard combo, but if you gave them enough time they could upscale it to 30 from hand.

Who edits these things? "Women don't commit sex offenses." "Women are three times more likely to be the victim of sexual assault than men.....in women's prisons."

Homosexuality was in the DSM as a mental disorder until the late 70s. It was pretty much 100% in there because it wasn't considered "normative" behavior.

If you live in a society where being gay gets you ostracized, (to say nothing about getting imprisoned or executed) it absolutely qualifies.

Mental illness is literally defined by whether or not a mental state has an adverse affect on the person's ability to function in society. Whether or not, say, homosexuality counts as a mental illness depends on what country you happen to live in.

I'm probably going to do Flameblast totems. Righteous Fire totems seem to be pretty FOTM and I don't really get what those have on Flameblast. It's the same base DPS but with about triple the AoE, and you can overlap the effects.

Juggernaught is the standout with the max endurance charges when you gain an endurance charge and 20% chance to gain an endurance charge when hit talent. With Voll's Protector/Voll's Devotion/Scold's Bridle and enough crit you can chain-cast 15+ charge discharges literally as fast as you can...

You probably need at least 500k if you want to support a family in Manhattan and have them actually live in Manhattan. 3 bedroom apartment will run you $150k/year minimum in Manhattan. So many people that work in Manhattan put their family up in a house outside the city and themselves live in...

I really want to know how they're going to make Scion function with the Endgame Labyrinth. 8 points doesn't let you reach 3 different ascendancies. You can get 2 ascendancies plus a Path node, but it doesn't seem right to force someone to blow 30+ Regret orbs in order to realign their spec to...

The version of this I saw was -1 Rockbiter +1 Harrison Jones, and I'm wondering if that's some kind of record for deck cost for a top legend deck. I mean, 11 legendaries and only 7 common/basic cards?

http://www.firstquantumconnection.com/ Coworker at work is gushing about these things and trying to pass them off on people. I just couldn't keep my mouth shut and now am getting subject to tons of facepalming condescension from the "all natural" crowd. "Yes we know you don't care if Pfizer...

I just lost a Ysera to a 13/13 C'Thun. What the fuck?

Remember that if your CThun is big enough it will sweep patrons regardless. A new patron spawns immediately on taking damage, but they don't actually die until the effect finishes. Once they hit 7 patrons in play no more can spawn and CThun will just machine gun them away.

With the new changes Monks are looking extremely overpowered, to be honest. With the orb talent you get two Ox orbs whenever you take 100% of your max HP in damage. Each orb heals for 25% of max HP and you can expel harm them in from 30 yards away. That means that as long as you can avoid...

In raids? Absolutely not. HoT spam/Beacon will handle the stagger dot no matter how high it gets, most important is not to get gibbed and ISB does that better than any other tank's toolbox. In like 5 mans or challenge modes this is absolutely a problem.

The problem with BrM is that you can keep ISB up 100% of the time, which is overpowered in raids where the smoothing is the only thing that matters, but sucks ass in anything below that where healer mana for healing tanks actually matters.

I made Rank 5 with midrange Shaman, C'thun decks are very good matchups but you simply just can't play enough hate to beat the 1-drop spam garbage. I mean there's literally not enough of it in existence to put enough into your deck to have a chance. I started with 2 Bolt 2 Rockbiter 2 Earthshock...

I haven't been impressed with C'Thun decks in general. Druid C'Thun has no draw and is way too inconsistent. Priest doesn't work without Lightbomb. The only good one is Warrior but that's because of their ridiculous card draw, not C'Thun. C'Thun just makes sure you can't lose to fatigue after...

What's ironic about Mizzou losing tons of money over this is money is the reason they capitulated in the first place. They gave in when the football team refused to play...that was a big problem as their players not playing means they lose tens of millions and they had basically nothing to...

Literally every single one of my opponents is playing Wrath Priest and it's so goddamn frustrating. There's nothing I can do about this when they just wrath the board every goddamn turn for 6 turns in a row.

I still maintain that Thaurissan is vastly more powerful than anything else you can possibly be doing and people that try to clunk around with ten drops are just going to learn that this doesn't work when I have a six drop that says, "You win the game at the beginning of your next turn" and they...

I'm also wondering what the renolock burst is. Currently their burst kill is arcane golem, power overwhelming, faceless manipulator but that combo no longer works.

Freeze Mage is completely intact and other than control warrior with their armor I don't see what beats it now. The format is slower, all the heavy one-turn damage combos from hand have been nerfed, silence was nerfed making freeze/doomsayer more reliable. Zoo lost all its sticky minions which...

I started this league out as Spark and lost that character to the Promenade boss. I think I posted about it in this thread. It was way offscreen and the sparks just traveled like two screen lengths and murdered me via thorns. I had close to 10k HP and dropped in less than two seconds. Thorns is...

Lightning thorns doesn't reflect your damage, it just deals a flat amount of damage to you whenever you hit the target. Once it gets on something, the zillion sparks you have out will guarantee you die as stopping your casts doesn't turn off all the bouncing shit in play. I've never run...

Spark builds aren't fun on HC. It's way, way too easy for you to one-shot yourself with no way of countering it. The most obvious source is the Promenade boss, but literally any source of lightning thorns will instakill you if they cast it on something that doesn't die in 2 hits. Also, you...

I've actually asked some hardcore feminists about this and the general response was that because men see women as less than human, are aggressive and manipulative at best and rapists at worst, female "power" doesn't mean anything because men will just take what they want. The analogy I got was...

It was a Stratios and an Anathema, not an interceptor. In the Anathema there was no bubble and I just tried to activate warp followed immediately by cloak but I still got locked. In the Stratios there was a bubble so I tried to MWD back to the gate, which usually works because even if they...

Yes, I did that. Double click, hit MWD and cloak all in quick succession, wasn't more than 0.5 sec apart. Neither MWD nor cloak activated because I got locked and scrammed.

Is it no longer possible to evade interceptors with covops cloak ships anymore? I tried resubbing and promptly lost two covops cloaked ships to trying to warp cloaked out of a gate, both times they managed to lock me before I could cloak. I just clicked warp then immediately clicked cloak but it...
