Why are you selectively choosing to consider only the "new kingdom" part of the whole thing? Overall it's from 3150 BC – 30 BC

I can also reach to whatever conclusion if I decide to ignore what doesn't fit and modify what does to make it fit better. That's wrong...

Average out of which number? There has not been enough empires in human history to get any kind of valid statistical conclusion.

Also, the ancient egyptian empire lasted over 3k years, for you to get an average of 250y with such outlier you would need to include what, several 10y "empires", or divide empires by ruler. Which would then make the conversation moot since each US president would be a new "empire".

The claim comes from John Glubb, and he used this chart to make the average out of... 11 data points!?! While missing tons of other ancient empires that lasted thousands of years?!

This is the book where he makes such claim

So to answer your comment, yeah math is easy. Impossible to reach such average number with all the data though, given that it was made with a wildly incomplete and incorrect data...

In school? Just marginalised can mean kids not wanting to be your friends, having difficulties forming groups for activities... All sorts of stuff that make your life harder. The word comes from the literal sense of being put to the margin, to the side, outside of the general circle.

It can easily devolve into being bullied aka made fun of for being different, kids using hurtful aliases to call you, hit you, abuse you...

Depends on where you live and all that but being singled out/marginalised can easily leave you in a position where bullies will pick on you and since you are alone, no one will defend you.

Made to feel different is a subtle way to say that she was marginalised. We are talking about school, so probably a gentle way to say she was bullied for it.

Also, she did mention getting singled out. I am pretty pedantic myself but dude, this is not the moment.

So are lgbt+ people, they are clearly a minority and yet their visibility is very important for the preservation or creation of their rights.

Yes, everyone is different, but normalising that difference instead of marginalising it is important.

Basque country aka northern Spain: fast food is usually kebab places, Chinese places, pizza places, and burger places. There's also poke places but just like 3 and they are not that famous.

There's no predominance where I live at least, you can pick any of those.

210m for the medium sized store, 650 for the farther store. I wouldn't walk more than that, its either car or bus for bigger ones.
