>From an early age, most children choose to play with toys typed to their own gender. In order to identify variables that predict toy preference, we conducted a meta‐analysis of observational studies of the free selection of toys by boys and girls aged between 1 and 8 years. From an initial pool of 1788 papers, 16 studies (787 boys and 813 girls) met our inclusion criteria. We found that boys played with male‐typed toys more than girls did (Cohen's d = 1.03, p < .0001) and girls played with female‐typed toys more than boys did (Cohen's d = −0.91, p < .0001). Meta‐regression showed no significant effect of presence of an adult, study context, geographical location of the study, publication date, child's age, or the inclusion of gender‐neutral toys. However, further analysis of data for boys and girls separately revealed that older boys played more with male‐typed toys relative to female‐typed toys than did younger boys (β = .68, p < .0001). Additionally, an effect of the length of time since study publication was found: girls played more with female‐typed toys in earlier studies than in later studies (β = .70, p < .0001), whereas boys played more with male‐typed toys (β = .46, p < .05) in earlier studies than in more recent studies. Boys also played with male‐typed toys less when observed in the home than in a laboratory (β = −.46, p < .05). Findings are discussed in terms of possible contributions of environmental influences and age‐related changes in boys' and girls' toy preferences.

A month now and look at the average American still not giving a shit about this shutdown. This is what scares democrats the most, the longer it lasts the more useless the government looks.

>but I need money because I was too stupid to bank some of my massive government salary to last for 3-6 months.

Cry me a river you unprepared retards. Put it on credit until you get that massive backpay check.

>Richard Feynman rarely shied away from debate. When asked for his opinions, he gave them, honestly and openly. In 1981,he put forth this one:

>"Social science is an example of a science which is not a science... They follow the forms... but they don't get any laws."

>"They haven't got anywhere yet," Feynman furthered. But never one to rule out being wrong, he added with a grin, "Maybe someday they will."
Where are your laws again? Are you even trying to be scientific? Our laws of science is stronger than this social science. According to your garbo pseudo-science, the sun will not rise every day based on statistics and weather.

> they will literally amend the constitution and seize all of his assets or something absolutely ridiculous.
Todays governments hardly make any conscious decisions. It's mostly everyone for his own trying to get as much and as fast as possible.
But you don't need any govt conspiracy to kill Elon. His empire will probably disperse without him and we don't have backup copies of him yet.

You're differentiating it wrongly.

This makes zero sense unless you have brain damage. Take road maintainence for example, a staple of tax spending.
