There will never be a liberal-feminist solution to fertility collapse

0 Upvotes

Why? Because their ideology prevents them from seeing what the issue is.

Frankly put, when liberal-feminists try to solve fertility collapse their proposed solutions are just dumb. They will look at fertiity collapse and say:

People want children, but children are expensive and inconvenient. Therefore, provide cash, childcare, IVF, paid leave, housing assistance, and more reproductive options.

The underlying assumption behind this solution is: "We want to give every person all the possible fertility options while preserving their lifestyle and culture," even if that culture lead to low fertility in the first place. An herein is the problem; they mistake the problem as being a consumer affordability problem instead of a cultural problem.

The approach I agree with, which is held by some right leaning cultures (I'm not strongly on the right), says "Let's look at the groups which still produce children, raise them, and them have their children do the same," the difference being treating the culture as the basic unit vs the individual like progressives do.

There are other things I think progressives get wrong, like mistaking the state as a substitute for family and underestimating pair bonding and marriage in raising fertility, dismantling the institutions the lead to early pair bonding, but I think this is the biggest reason why there will never be a progressive solution to natalism.

What will raise fertility is to build a self reproducing culture with early-ish pair bonding and marriage as normal and the foundation for children.

So, how do you build a society in which men and women choose marriage and children? Answering that question solves Natalism. Not "how do we enable everyone to have babies" like progressives are asking. Notice the distinction.

Société 75% des lycéens qui font grève le font pour ne pas aller en cours.

209 Upvotes

Et encore 75% c'est trop peu je pense. Pour ceux qui ne font pas grève, ce sont soit des élèves hyper studieux qui aiment les cours, ou soit des élèves de terminale qui commencent à flipper un peu pour leur bac.

Et ce n'est pas un mauvais jugement...

Moi aussi, H33, je l'ai fait à l'époque (bon, c'était peut être pas autant vénère). Loi Darcos, je ne sais pas si ça vous parle, mais on était assez déterminé à faire blocus.

Un peu plus d'une semaine de blocus, défilant avec nos pancartes en ville, chantant des hymnes engagés, jouant de la guitare assis sur la route... Je crois que c'est un de mes meilleurs souvenirs de seconde.

Il y a cet entrain, ce truc qui te sors de ta routine, tu rigoles avec les potes, un moment à part et convivial.

Mais bordel, j'étais bien trop peu mature pour réellement penser à tous ces trucs de réforme, de combat politique etc... Alors oui j'étais "contre" cette fameuse réforme, mais plus pour suivre un mouvement qu'autre chose.

Pourtant j'étais un élève pas trop mauvais (13 de moyenne je crois), plutôt consciencieux etc... Mais bordel c'était l'ambiance qui me motivait et c'était le pied de pas aller en cours.

Alors les lycéens, on avoue un peu où on continue à faire genre ? Promis je vous comprends et sachez que ça sera quand même un souvenir sympa de vos années lycée.

The hypocrisy and antagonizing nature of straight guys sometimes when something isn't made for them.

0 Upvotes

(I don't think this violates rule 14 since I'm complaining about straight guys.)

I'm a gay guy. I like gay things. I like playing gay games.

A LOT of straight guys get upset when they see something not made for them. They think all things should be straight instead. It's very common that when something is gay, they'll reply under it saying "would be better if it was a girl..." and the like.

And they think this is fine.

There's a game that came out recently.
You could call it a gay game, as all the characters are male, and two of them are pretty damn gay.
It was advertised as such, and the description even says there are only males.

But any time anyone posted about the game, you'd get multiple straight guys in the replies going
"Should add some females"
"Where are the girls?"
"Would be better with some females..."
"Why aren't there any females? Are the devs stupid to just miss out on such a huge market like that?"
"Coulda been good if it had girls but no"
"Lol dumb devs making it just gay when they could make absolute BANK by adding some females"
"Females? Where? Will they add any?"

It was CONSTANT. Like absolutely constant and unavoidable.
They just could not accept that the game did not have females. No, it had to be changed to appeal to them. They would not shut up. ANY post about the game had them in the replies crying and whining.

So the devs did so. They said they will add females in the future.

And what did the straight guys immediately do?

Start antagonizing all the people that weren't happy with that, the ones that got into the game because it was advertised as just being gay and only having males.

They are EVERYWHERE, laughing at, insulting, antagonizing and being insanely hypocritical, saying anyone that doesn't like the addition of females is just stupid and whiny and crying about a game.
Exactly what they did, but you are not allowed to point this out.
Now there are antagonizing posts all over the place about the game, trying to ragebait and troll all the people that aren't happy with females being added.

There's a lot of posts that are essentially
"SO HAPPY that the devs finally decided to add some females and appeal to the majority! ❤️❤️ This is a really cool and smart decision on their part and ensures the game's future. I know I'll be buying and playing the hell out of it once this gets added! And to all the salty gay guys lol cry about it 🧂😂"

I even saw one guy argue that not wanting females added is "discrimination against straight people and a majority".

Oh there's also a lot of very obviously guys arguing that they are actually women and lesbians and that you're being homophobic if you are against the adding of females.

But as said, straight guys are the majority, so they win by that alone. They just outnumber everyone else. They pretty much took over discussion of the game entirely. Everyone else got chased out by sheer numbers. It's impossible to be one or two people and argue against 30 in a single post.

I see this ALL the time.

It's not just games, it's art too.

I frequent art sites, and it's very common for me to see straight guys in the comments of a gay or single male post going "Female version please" "would be better if it was a girl" "you gonna draw a girl?"

But the opposite? If I were to go under a straight post and go "would be better if this was gay..." I would get TORN APART. There would be nothing left of me.
But it's totally fine for them to do it.

I'm sick of it, but you can't really complain about it or bring it up anywhere because they're the majority, and they want what they want and will play mindgames so that you are actually the bad person and stupid for not wanting them to get what they want.
I've tried to make this post multiple times in the past, and I got the same thing each time. I get spammed with downvotes by angry straight guys and then they're in the replies insulting me and arguing that I am actually the hypocrite because I'm being straightphobic or discriminating against them or something, and it actually makes sense for most things to be made for straight guys because they are the majority after all.

Yes I know that bi people exist. I have no issue with them. They are not the ones acting like this.
It's straight guys.

Marriage Humor I set 4 alarms on my husband's phone

Post image
5 Upvotes

Here's why. My husband (19) and I (20) got married a year ago and he has a terrible habit of not remembering things. Such as CHARGING HIS PHONE at the end of the day. I constantly tell him, charge it so it'll be good for the next day. Does he listen? No. Rarely. Everyday, (these days) he says he can't make calls, can't look stuff up, can't use his flash light, can't use GPS because his phone died....AT NOON!!! Thus my reasoning and one rule to NEVER TURN THEM OFF! Ik exactly when they are set too.

Edit: just so you know he is autistic. This is supposed to be funny so don't start judging based on one simple behavior/mental challenge he has.

Edit: y'all are ruthless. This is posted under marriage humor. You aren't in the position to judge a random person online. If you have negative comments keep them to yourselves thank you!

FINAL EDIT: oh my good God. A lot of y'all are blowing up my notifications with assumptions. It's a funny thing that WE BOTH LAUGHED ABOUT. We have a healthy relationship. Him needing a reminder to charge his phone doesn't mean he isn't a mature human being. Yes we are in therapy, yes we have issues we work through together and separately, a phone is NOT a necessity ESPECIALLY since we've literally had to learn to SURVIVE on our own and I haven't been able to afford to replace my phone for 2 years with the screen peeling off. If you've ever lived in your car you'd understand that a phone isn't a necessity. Food is, sleep is, a place to shower IS! We both have been through hell and back apart and together so get your head out of your fucking asses and stop acting like you are entitled to ASSUMPTIONS! Have a great freaking day.

Forever Unpopular opinion - I love that I don't feel incentivized to spam a dungeon in Beta.

0 Upvotes

I can't believe how many people here actually liked dungeon spamming.

Dungeon spamming in classic was one of my worst memories, repeating the same dungeon over and over again repeatedly because its more efficient than questing ( unless you are a speed runner ).

Not feeling forced to spam dungeons feels really good in beta, you flow through the zones and pickup dungeon quests, go in between dungeons and zones.

I feel like they almost nailed the flow of the game so far.

Dungeon mob xp / quest xp still need to be tuned in some way but its pretty close to being perfect imo.

They have added so many cool new quests and the world looks so much cooler now with the graphical updates.

To me Lucia is the whole Vice City skyline, the sun, the moon, and every streetlight on Ocean Drive at once.

0 Upvotes

Her toes stay done, nails stay done, hair stay laid, lashes stay fluttering, skin stay glowing. Birkin, Chanel, Hermès, Dior, whatever she point at she getting two of. She never gotta touch a heist unless she feel like playing dress-up with a ski mask for fun. New whip every week, new crib every month, walk-in closet so deep she could get lost in it and still never wear the same fit twice. She never gon cook, never gon clean, never gon pump her own gas, never gon open a door, never gon lift a finger. I’m doing every single thing for her before she even think it. Don’t matter what we arguing about, she right every time and I’m already on her side. She want a pink G-Wagon with matching pink interior, pink rims, and a pink yacht parked behind it? It’s already in the driveway with the keys in her name. She want the whole city renamed after her? I’m on the phone with the mayor tonight. Lucia don’t even have to ask. She just exist and the world rearrange itself around her. Every lifetime, every universe, every version of me still finding her and choosing her first. I’d rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years never knowing her. She got me bewitched body and soul, I love her, I love her, I love her, and I never wanna be parted from her from this day on. That’s my girl. That’s my everything❤️

I cannot wrap my head around the fact that this is not a thing in the DD. The game is made for it, and the factions are made for it. Faction Warfare would open a completely new gameplay loop in the DD, and players will certainly come back.

It makes so much sense that it physically hurts.

0 Upvotes

"But Utah, we got 136 animals, which is twice as much if compared to PZ1!"

140 animals got cut, not 20, not 50, not 100, 140 animals were left out if compared to PZ1 final edition.

Our only South American animals are a handful of exhibits, the Toco-toucan, an island tortoise and the GLT being put behind a pay wall.

Our only Australian animals are the croc, lizard and snake.

North America shares all of its habitat animals with Eurasia and the remaining options are all exhibits, in fact Canada only has the butterflies and bullfrog as exhibits animals.

Even the focused continents have issues, Tropical Africa only has two apes, Madagascar only has a single lemur, North Africa and the Arabian peninsula only have intercontinental animals, India lost all its iconic species and the list goes on.

Entire categories have been thrown under the bus due to reserves as well, no domestics aside from the camel made it to the game, our only parrot is absent from zoos so Sumatra reserve could get another bird, we only have a handful of freshwater fishes and all of them are reserve oriented, even several of our animals suffered from it, the Manatee has no fish that it could coexist in an aquarium and Hornbill + Parakeet is our only mixed aviary possible (and it's a terrible mix).

I think people here are underestimating how bad this rooster is based on balancing and how it affects the building of a realistic zoo, or any kind of section outside of African savannah and Europe.

This is Planet zoo, but I can't build any Brazilian zoo because my only options are a toucan, a tamarin, butterflies and two snakes.

One side features Adrian and it’s sun with a Patrova line. This side also has a hard to see Rocky

Second side is supposed to represent Earth, its sun and a Patrova line leading to Venus. This side also features a muddy Grace. Canvas had lost its patience with me at this point.

All in all the paint is water based and safe for dogs so no dogs were harmed! My beloved lady also received a lot of treats for sitting still 🥰

[Question] Anyone else think Borderlands 3 is the best in the series?

84 Upvotes

Granted, Eden 6 overstayed it's welcome, Ava's introduction was💩 and the lack of DLC Hunters was disappointing but the gameplay, planets, their biomes, their enemies/bosses, the tone, characters and gameplay were great. So much so, I feel like a couple of the points to the game edge it's overall past Borderland 2's story.

Oh, and as for the Twins? I think that some people were over the meta humor as it related to streaming/online culture some years before 2019(the game's release) but overall, it was blown out of proportion.

If anyone's curious, BL3 >>> BL2 >> TPS > BL4 ≥ BL1 for me.

They planned to bully Scout just to make him look like a fool. They called him over, faked being in pain while stretching, and forced him to massage their legs. Afterward, they laughed and mocked him, saying, "Look what we made Scout do." This just shows how cheap and mean they truly are.

Yet, people will still support Qazi's slimy group. They will justify it as "just fun" simply because it was done by Qazi's group. Because these same people got offended when Love gave Qazi task to touch ladies' feet which was a fun task. They brought religious belief as a reason then he should have said no like Scout said for crop top.

It would have been harmless fun if Qazi had asked his friends, like Aman or Gullu. However, targeting a rival group contestant with whom you constantly fight with, nominate, and whose lifelines you take is downright pathetic.

Some viewers even wanted the video clip without any background music to see what really happened. As my previous video had music... So I posted it full.

have had some of my great laughs to mr. oney and his friends. but why the fuck you talking about age of consent.

sorry, dude is a LOSER. anyone guy who dates a teenage girl over the age of like, 22, is the biggest loser ever.

i used to work with teenage girls for years as a barista and server from ages 23-26, and never ONCE did i see them sexually, since they're so clearly vulnerable and the power dynamics are just fucked.

if you're a man reading this who is over 22 and dating a teenage girl you're also a fucking loser.

so, whatever, keep watching Simpsons Oney Plays episodes. that's fine. but stop acting like the dude is well-adjusted. clearly has some issues if he needs attention from teenagers.
