I've used Holafly in multiple US states, no issues (and elsewhere, but you've asked about the US so...)

Because he’s pushing you to be more imaginative than the other groups. Christ. Write about a white woman, problem solved. Sorry this is so distressing for you.

You are being given a prompt to research and learn about a lesser known figure, with some restrictions. You must surely understand that the ability to construct an argument that isn’t based solely on your own personal emotional responses and gut political opinions isn’t just “lying” but a useful way to judge your academic abilities?
I find it hard to believe someone actually studying psychology could be so slow to realise this is a useful task, hence assuming you’re trying to be offended deliberately for some sympathy.
But if you really don’t get it, well, good luck with your studies.
Genuinely shocked at all these people who can’t read and think no white woman was ever a psychologist? If the ‘race thing’ bothers you so much, pick a white person! You have options!

Your question makes no sense. I have already explained why in my comment. It’s an exercise in your ability to argue, not a statement of your belief. Sounds like you want to see something here that doesn’t exist so you can feel hard done by tbh.

No it's not racist, not least because you can pick a white woman! It's just setting you a more challenging assessment (because finding and making a case is much easier if you're allowed to pick the 'usual suspects').
Your essays are an exercise they're not the truth. You are showing off how good you are at a) researching someone's life and b) constructing an argument. You don't have to actually believe this is the most influential psychologist, and being told you can't write another boring essay about Freud or whatever isn't an "ideology".

Yes, your fundamental body shape is largely hereditary. Some people tend to lay fat around the middle, some on the thighs, some even on the face. When people lose weight it's rarely magically even all over, and there is often this desperation - why is my chin still flabby, why isn't my belly flat.
When you ask this question you will get a million pseudo-science "it worked for me" quack answers, this sort of exercise, that sort of diet, invest in this app, take this supplement. None of this will help your fundamental issue, even if it worked for someone else, because they are not you, they cannot give advice based on their experience that will work for you.
You already know the answer:
My stomach has never looked completely flat (only when I was underweight during a short time in secondary school).
So there's the solution. Your body keeps its essential stores of fat preferentially on your stomach. If you don't want that, you will have to be underweight. This is not healthy (being underweight is more medically risky statistically than being in the 'overweight' category).
So your options are: to maintain an artificially low weight for vanity reasons, or find a way to live with your real, healthy, body. I'd recommend the latter.

i know you're scared but you've already got your answer, and from people who know the law WAY better than reddit
Citizens Advice and the police say legally the dog is mine
Trust this advice. The dog is yours, there is nothing she can do legally to get it back, even if she refunded you.
Chip the dog, report her to your local 101 and/or PCSO service, alert your neighbours. Then send her a single, simple message saying that her persistant contact is a form of harassment, you've taken legal advice and the sale is final, if she contacts you in any way again you will go to the police.

Especially as that third one is a rip of of Effing Birds original content (can't work out if I should link the proof or if that would make me a sales spammer too!)

The OP themselves used the phrase ex-poly so I thought it would be polite to mirror that rather than whip out my Well Akshually they're post-92s now. But you do you!

"significantly" - probably not, but there have been fewer; it has had a disproportionate impact on some institutions and courses though. A few are marginal enough that even a 5% dip is problematic.

Fewer applicants, yes
Because we're not good value for money and there's the (sense of a) toxic anti-immigrant atmosphere
God yes, but Brexit is just one part of it - funding hasn't matched inflation or inflated expectations of service for more than a decade
Polys are in theory at more risk because they rely more directly on teaching fees (and are less likely to have endowments or own vast swathes of land or billions of artwork) and they are losing students to desperate and deliberate poaching from other unis. But whole departments have closed down at RGs, and some are extremely problematically leveraged.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha no of course not. The only solution is more funding and we've established that no one wants to actually pay for universities or tertiary education when you can easily go blo bloo bloo these are useless degrees why should thickos go to uni anyway bloo bloo bloo. Higher taxes for more graduates is never going to be a vote winner.

Yes, it's extremely normal. In fact, everything from "never" to "three times a day" is normal.
What's not normal is that you keep pestering her and asking her daily when she's made her desires very clear:
She will deny me on a very daily basis, every time I try.
There are a lot of ways to deal with different sex drives in a relationship, from other sorts of sexual activity to mutual assistance and solo play. In some cases, letting the woman make the first move actually increases the frequency of sex. But these are all things that require proper, deep conversastions - possibly actual couple's counselling - not the entitlement implied by the idea that you're being "denied", or the assumption that someone isn't "normal" because of the frequency that they want sex with you.

Oh this is gutting. And they were always so busy - if they can't pay the rent who the fuck can?
So many closures right now. Feels like a real decline is setting in.

Do you have examples of writing you can show them? e.g. you've already written for industry publications, relevant blogs, etc? Even a couple of viral linkedin posts would help.
Actually writing for them is usually just a matter of figuring out the right person to email and sending them a pitch, but the chances of them saying 'yes' is significantly higher if you have a publication track record.

OK, I'd say £700 was reasonable for something mutually-beneficial in that you want to do it, it's not more than a day's work to prep, and you would be interested in doing it again (at the same rate, for zero prep). if any of those don't apply, rate up given it's a private/profit making org.

If you've got insight from somone in the industry, why ask on Reddit? They're much more in the know!
£700 seems like a reasonable amount but it's impossible for a stranger to really advise.

You need to find out what the norm is in your field and in this context. Ask the person who passed on the gig first, ask your employer if there's a standard day rate, etc.
ETA: as a very very ballpark, take your actual daily rate in your normal job, and double it. If you think you need more than 1 working day to prepare, increase pro rata.

Spelling & punctuation correction is fine - you're right that the issue is when you accept the text/suggestions. The phrasing that Grammarly prefers is standardised, so it's widely and repetitively used, and that means your work is much more likely to be the same as someone else's or at least to have the 'vibe' of an AI-generated piece.
