I strongly object to the claim "In reality, English spelling is more like learning Kanji." as someone who had to learn both Chinese and English characters.
Both rely on groups of characters. Both are non-phonetic. Both rely on multiple memorized pronunciations for those character groups based on surrounding character group context. Both preserve symbol shape for reason of historical context.
There are certainly differences, but if you place current English spelling next to something like Shavian (or some other language with near-pure phonetic spelling), I'd say that Modern English learning patterns are closer to Kanji than the pure phonetic alphabets.
The company will also focus on content creation targeting gen Zs. All of this coincides with the TikTok buyout, as noted in the article and acknowledged by Netanyahu himself.
The Android version https://github.com/macchrome/droidchrome/releases comes with customizable adblock filters e.g. easylist, I don't care about cookies, EasyPrivacy etc. that I'm no longer forced to put up with Firefox's jank just for some decent adblocking on my phone anymore.
Look, I'm not suggesting anyone eat any kind of live animal, especially cats, but I think there's a question here of how exactly one would eat some of these animals... even my smallest cat is easily way too big to fit in my mouth and certainly too big to pass through my esophagus, and all of that disregards the very practical consideration of the animal fighting back. Thus, I read a great deal of dramatic flair and exaggeration in the article - it seems vey unlikely that he ate all of the things listed, at least not in the way they were described, but rather it seems likely that there arose some fables given the person's clear extreme appetite and habits.
I thought a lot of the instances of supposed "live" small octupus being eaten that you can see in videos are actually recently-killed octopus that spasm when large amounts of soy sauce are applied to the tentacles, because of the salinity of the soy sauce.
At first glance, it is less surprising when he's eating live animals as a "warm-up act for a traveling charlatan" than when he does so as an experiment for medical professionals. With a little reflection this is probably more of a modern surprise -- medical ethics were a bit lax at the time I guess.
They didn't take it over "forcibly", they took it over with popular support from the Chinese people. If that doesn't grant you legitimacy I honestly don't know what would.
Just going by the abstract that you linked, that study seems to only relate to the past 100 years.
And extrapolating this to the middle ages and earlier:
In general, countries with a lower overall life expectancy had a lower number of women per 100 men aged 75+, while countries with higher overall life expectancy had a higher female to male ratio in this age group. A hundred years ago there were nearly equal numbers of women and men aged 75+ in many countries.
