Does the wage gap actually exist in these highly paid professions when all variables like hours worked per week are taken into account? At my hospital female full time physicians absolutely make the same as male full time physicians. And our hospital system's CEO is a woman who makes a huge fortune. The only women I know making less do so voluntarily because they very much want to spend more time with their kids, so they go part-time. That isn't a wage gap issue, though.

Good idea. Blame the women because they want to be loving mothers.

Funny how every time I see something about the wage gap the percentage women make compared to men changes wildly. I've seen everything from 66 cents to 84 cents. Almost like women are just making up these numbers.

Almost like the men are deliberately skewing the thing.

According to Berkeley’s The Greater Good Science Center, there are four stages of surprise response: freeze, find, shift, and share.

Load More Replies...As Greater Good explains, the freeze stage happens the moment we are stopped in our tracks for seeing or hearing something unexpected. The “Find” stage that follows is when we begin to decipher what’s going on and try to understand how it all happened.
The Shift stage is when our perspectives begin to take shape and shift, typically in response to conflicting findings. The final stage, Share, is when we begin to share the feeling of surprise with others.

I asked it a question about a subject I am very familiar with. Very confident and very wrong response.
Surprising events also make learning new information much easier. According to Psychology Today, unexpected events trigger a surge of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter and hormone partly responsible for the fight-or-flight response.
With the surge in norepinephrine comes increased focus and alertness, which ultimately promotes better learning.

Lil Torn

Lil Dacryocystorhinostomy. So annoying that it takes 50 attempts to pronounce it and then sounds like a complete rap song in itself.
Of course, no one wants ugly surprises. So if you want to invite more pleasant ones, here are some ways, as suggested by the Greater Good:
- Mix up your routines. Take the bus instead of driving to work or eat at a new restaurant. Unexpected changes may lead to new insights.
- Do something random for someone. Offer to wash the dishes, then clean out the fridge. The goal is to under-promise and over-deliver.
- Make a “struggle sandwich.” Simply put, take a big risk sandwiched between smaller risks that will likely go well. Doing so helps you connect risk-taking with something positive.

Windows 11 Open Settings: Use your mouse to click the Start button and then select the Settings (gear) icon. Navigate to Typing: Select Time & language from the left sidebar, then click on Typing. Adjust Touch Keyboard Settings: Click the arrow next to Touch keyboard to expand the section. Find the dropdown menu for Show the touch keyboard and select Always. This ensures it pops up even if the system doesn't detect you are in "tablet mode". Taskbar Icon: To ensure you can always manualy open it, go to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and set the Touch keyboard toggle to Always.

You know that most times when women claim something was "obviously made/written by a guy" they turn out to be wrong? There's an advert for Always leak pants (or something, I forget the name) on the radio at the moment. It's the worst advert out, featuring the awful pun of "looks like I found my flow" in reference to bladder leaks, and I bet it was written by a woman. In fact, I've just checked and it was made in collaboration with two prominent FEMALE "celebrities" who wanted to raise awareness about incontinence. So please quit this "It's awful and about women so a man must have made it".
