Anyone use statistical methods to analyze ad campaign performance data to help with predictive modelling - what Google Ads metrics do you typically prioritize as predictor variables?

I've been reading up on multiple regression modelling and see it as something I could potentially use to analyze past campaign data to extract insights that inform the settings we tune for future campaigns - with the purpose of, of course, maximizing ROAS.

Your model's only as good as the predictor variables you choose to include in it, and there's a LOT of Google Ads metrics that could go in there. I mean when you click on 'Add Column' in the reports there's like 50+.

So I wanted to ask around a bit and see what the consensus is on this; aside from, ofc, conversions, ad spend, SIS etc, what all have you guys been incorporating into your predictive models?

Quick Thought - 90,000 likes, 11,000 reposts for pure unbridled bioessentialist misandrist tweet: "Being m*rdered by a man is the leading cause of death in 18-44 year-old women globally but were concerned about male loneliness epidemic"

The logic, one man's bad actions should be associated with all males' since they share the same biological sex.

90k likes. Feminism is one big hate cult at this point. I also see these bioessentialist takes being especially popular among younger women so it's a big radicalization issue but hey let's not make documentaries about that.

Ideas (work/study/whatever) for going abroad and building a basis for long-term stay using savings

Basically, I wanna use savings to try and build some sort of presence abroad. EU/NA/any region. But I don't know my options and don't know where to begin. I'm thinking something similar to those property investment for citizenship schemes. I don't even have a number in mind for the investment, like let's say 35-50 lac as a tentative number to work with.

Anyone got any ideas? I feel this could be an interesting discussion to have for those sick of the typical study ---> work route.

British actress & feminist Jameela Jamil's tirade against boys after the '62 million rape academy' hoax: is it not deplorable misandrist/bigotry to insinuate that literal children are rapists-by-default?

She's a British actress and feminist with 4.23 million followers on Instagram, and not even of the 'radical' bent. She partakes in fairly mainstream liberal cosmopolitan activism and discourse, like migrant/refugee rights, veganism and so on. So, this isn't some Andrea Dworkin type of feminist.

Jameel posts bioessentialist hate against men fairly often; there's a "men's violence" collection (of stories? I dunno what it's called) on her Instagram. This is, of course, completely generic to the most mainstream of feminism; feminists largely talk about "men" without adding any specifiers next to it that would give us reason to believe that they're not peddling collective guilt.

However, after the now notorious '62 million rape academy' hoax from two or three weeks, Jamil reacted extremely strongly and went on a fresh tirade against not just men - but men and boys, and repeatedly emphasized the 'and boys' part in her wording so it was clear what she was saying. She declared that men and boys had declared war against all femalekind.

The concept of collective guilt and bioessentialism was rife in her rants. She claimed that men as a whole have "said nothing" about rape and sex trafficking rings and demanded that men micromanage their lives, like what podcasts they listen to for example, to account for feminist sensitivities. There was also some bizarrely threatening speak about how "women are building their lives and we'll do it without you if you don't speak up", reminding men that they are lonely and women aren't.

But that wasn't as disturbing to me as the "tell boys not to rape" part. I mean, help me out a bit here; is it not extreme misandry to insinuate that boys, i.e., children, who often barely know what sex is let alone sexual assault, need to be told "don't rape or kill anyone tonight"? Is there truly that little distance between a normal boy and a potential rapist?

Is this misandry? What are the thoughts of the people on this sub?

Tips for what I can add to my existing routine for broader shoulders and narrower waist

For some reasons I cannot join a gym and cannot benefit from gym equipment since I don't have it. I just have dumbbells, an exercise mat, and significant space in my room. The pull up bar is 2 storeys up on the roof and I do that on separate days.

At the moment, the core exercises I do are sit ups, sometimes while holding a dumbbell. Haven't tried doing them while holding both because I've no clue of the positioning. Other than this, I do push ups.

What can I add to increase intensity and go for the type of shape I want?

A favorite boogeyman of feminists is the clumsy amalgamation of various internet cliques and subcultures known as the 'manosphere'. I say clumsy because many of the different cliques within this have mutually contradictory and clashing core beliefs. Now, I'm the last person to wholesale dismiss the 'manosphere' in a way akin to feminism, but a lot of the constituent cliques and subcultures within it are genuinely harmful (to the men and boys participating) and are a boon to mainstream feminism's cynical anti-men/anti-boys politics as much as they are an irritancy.

I speak here of mainly 3 cliques, with the third being a bit regrettably vague but I feel you guys'll know what I am talking about:

1) Red Pill: 'Pick up artistry' (PUA) that has centered itself a bit more in gender wars stuff - but in the most contemptibly shallow way possible. Focuses purely on posting examples of the stereotypical 'obnoxious and demanding woman' archetype to highlight how tough dating is for men now as a premise for then pitching 'dating solutions'. There is a very awkward juxtaposition between their presentation of the problem, which is the inflated egos of the women they fixate on, and their proposed 'solutions' which are entirely hinged upon teaching guys how to get with these women and then maintain relationships with them, which they should apparently want to do.

Also, weirdly enough, the entirety of the Red Pill ecosystem in terms of both the Red Pill figures/gurus and the women they're obsessed with seem to come from the same literal place; trashy, party-type areas in Miami or filled with extreme Instagram types (wealth flexing dudes, proud gold-digger women caked in makeup and etc). Miami seems to be the mecca of the Red Pill, and it's unsurprising that many Red Pill figures get caught having illicit affairs with the same trashy women they bring on to their podcasts to uphold their depiction of 'the modern dating scene'.

My gripe: aside from their solutions being based on dumb generalizations and being genuinely delusional and geared toward undesirable ends, the Red Pill misdirects a lot of attention on the part of young males - feminism's primary target enemy. These young men and boys would come much closer to the answers they seek, answers for which they turn to the Red Pill, if they broke out of this puerile Red Pill circlejerk.

2) Black Pill/incels: Now here are the interesting ones, and they come much closer to the answers mentioned in the previous sentence that young men need and are being deprived of the ability to properly seek by virtue of their entrapment in the Red Pill circlejerk. They generally have much higher quality discussions, broach deeper questions about gender roles and intergender dynamics and do not limit their sample size of women that they observe or 'study' to the trashy Instagram types that Red Pill figures claim are representative of all women. They also have a low opinion of the Red Pill and consider is delusion/coping.

You can tell by looking at their discourse that these are genuine in their problems, but where things go south is 'the Black Pill' which is basically biodeterminism that decrees that they're subhumans (as less physically attractive males), women's feelings for men are entirely dictated by their looks/eliteness and so on - basically, taking phenomenon that have explanations in modern dynamics and social engineering and slapping biological explanations for them so that they seem set in stone. A spiral downward into depression and, unfortunately, suicidal ideation, believing they've literally zero hope of living a happy life and escaping their loneliness and/or romantic failure.

So, while they get much better discourse going, they ultimately kind of fall off the deep end with the biodeterminist stuff. Like, no, Gen Z women saying they all want only a 6'5 billionaire Chad isn't 'evolutionary psychology' it's literally modern, artificially engineered behaviour. There needs to be some sort of attempt to show these guys the oft-times common-sense explanations for the behavioral trends they try to pretend are just brutal and cruel human biology and to get them away from their misery-spiral corners of the internet.

That, or leave them to their downward spiral and to mainstream feminism's sadistic framing of them are some sort of Grade A security threat that needs to be quashed with force or oppressed/suppressed. Bad ends either way.

3) Machoman Posturers: Basically there's a lot of often right wing or conservative online figures who have a really shallow "hit the gym eat steak take f*** bitches" masculinity gimmick going on and they'll use the topic of feminism to spew their "skill issue" nonsense.

"Feminism's just a shit test, the real alphas won't fail it"

"Feminism bad because it's making people have LESS SEX" (sex obsession ala Red Pill)

And stuff like that. No actual debate of any intellectual sort.

Here's one quite fitting/emblematic example of a very common type of online talking point I'm seeing from feminists, which always garners really good positive engagement numbers from women whenever it surfaces:

https://preview.redd.it/kmtrys1boxxg1.png?width=638&format=png&auto=webp&s=83940f155d955bf743026bceb3b12d1fef13c272

It's a quote tweet response to TheTinMen blog, which is a public account so I didn't blot out its details for privacy's sake.

So tl;dr, a very common response I'm seeing by feminists to accounts like TheTinMen bringing up the forced drafting of Ukrainian men (and boys) to go to the frontlines as a gendered issue affecting men - and a talking point against specific feminist discourse about how rosey and privileged the common man's life is - is "Oh yeah, and who's doing that? That's right, MEN!"

Simple, short and crisp. Ideal for those one-tweet responses that get big positive engagement (you always have to emphasize this before feminists try and shut these examples down as being 'fringe' or w/e).

But here's the deal - it's bioessentialism. Doesn't seem obvious at first look but when you break it down it is indeed pure bioessentialism whereby the 16 year old Ukrainian boy being dragged out of his home to go to the meat grinder against his will is equated, or even just connected, to the privileged elites - politicians or otherwise - who are behind this most oppressive policy (which afaik happens in Russia too, so please don't take this as politics) based purely and exclusively on his biological sex. So there's not in fact any oppression going on because both the victim and oppressor are part of the same male boogeyman.

This kind of thinking's pretty rampant these days and I see these tweets, notably from younger women (Gen Z) VERY often. And what makes it worse is feminists that're older, better informed and mature will just downplay this rise of bioessentialist bigotry among their younger counterparts even whilst assuring us that 18 year old incels calling women shallow on some corner of the internet incel forum is a misogyny apocalypse that needs to be dealt with most harshly.
