What happens to happiness when women miss their family goals? We know from a lot of research that when women have children they don't want to have, it has some adverse effects on their lives. The research is mixed on exactly how big those effects are, but they seem negative.
Seems bad, can't say I'm a fan

@mrianleslie Giving people power to control themselves is good in and of itself. Find it odd that most arguments in favour of devolution are technocratic. Some places will get better due to devo, some will get worse. Feature not a bug.

@rowanprh2 @therealtinderk1 @SimonBrundish I like to think I was being sarcastic
@Kam_LFC @SimonBrundish I remember us having a similar type discussion 3 years ago when LFC had their last major slump in attack. Sadio and Bobby were washed, had forgotten how to finish, how lost all belief and confidence, etc. Mo had a giant finishing slump post AFCON as well. History is a circle.
@swickenburg @therealtinderk1 @SimonBrundish My perspective is that some things we can quantify because there are public data. Liverpool likely can quantify even more internally. The things that we cannot quantify, I put in the bucket of “shit happens” (aka luck, variance, randomness). Others may disagree but it’s OK.
@SimonBrundish No, kicking the football is like hitting a baseball. Whether the baseball ends up in an a line out to an outfielder or a double is luck. Kicking the football is the skill, just like hitting the baseball is the skill. The outcome is partly skill but also (mostly) tons of luck.
@paulpod @tylercowen He puts Brexit at 20% which I think is about right.

"We're more cricket men around here" 🤢🤢🤢 Aside from the clunkily veiled snobbery, that definitely won't be true among the younger generation in the village. Football is far bigger than it was ten or twenty years ago, while domestic cricket is in decline (and I love cricket!)
Thread on Nunez, Salah, Jota & sentimentality and why I think a lot of people are seeing this backwards. Sentimentality doesn't keep Nunez. What has he done really to attach sentiment to - leapfrog a barrier like a horse once? Cold hard numbers keep Nunez.
@doomedparade @AmitPavan @benjalfc That isn't why you keep Nunez. That is how fans think about things. You keep him because his xG is absolutely huge, he constantly creates mayhem in the opponent's backline and a lot of the shot volume he has he generates for himself.
