I have yet to see a compelling argument for increased birthrates, everything boils down to a mix of white nationalism and controlling women.

Do people think Bluesky poster's are monetizing?Beyond the potential to sell merch for a few bucks this is literally just a place to post for love of the game.
Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
Corin is dope and could use some support as they navigate their new legless life.
Being almost 40: thinking about going to an arcade, realizing you have all the video games and home, and buying grocery store snacks instead. Looking forward to getting absolutely smoked at Smash by @joanofarchivist.bsky.social
Even if this is just a dry run, oh is it a good feeling
The Calvinist 'it couldn't happen to me so you must have fucked up' runs very strong here. Once someone is sick you have to blame and shun them because you can't acknowledge that health is largely random luck.
Also they're not including 'Kicking out queer/trans kids and family' as cutting people off for their views.
All civility / I just want to be heard / my opinion matters bullshit boils down to "I want to say you shouldn't exist, and you can't get mad about it" And fuck that, I don't have to entertain an opinion about my gender/sexuality/whatever (formerly) protected class, nor should anyone.
I think you may be able to change your channel specific preference to notify nothing, but I'm not 100%.
Absolute shot in the dark: Is anyone still looking for someone for their fantasy league? I could use the distraction this year.
Heads up, a lot of people have a BMI over 30 and also, no one knows if you have a history of smoking. Go get your shots as soon as you can!
I'm finding that too for every internal system. Can't use John Green's bean app when you're doing 2FA on your phone every 5 goddamn minutes
Tech bros seeing actual people suffering: Fuck you, NPCs! Tech bros seeing a souped up autocomplete saying sad words: The God-Computer suffers, we must help it!
Not excited to Make Leaps Forward Again
I have no actual insight, but from afar it seems like their fear of change/losing status is high, while their ability to find a solution to the actual problem is low. So instead of acting rationally they keep doing what they've always done and hoping it works out.
The hard work and little fuss part of the Calvinism without the 'One of God's chosen elite' MLM parts would be dandy.
If any of these men could go to therapy instead of inventing a Die Hard scenario for themselves to be the hero of, we'd live here
I can't even tell if these are real people writing for them or just Bezos publishing pro-Trump AI garbage
If we're going to avoid anyone but white men given recent history, I think those two governors are a great combo
I think it's much less 'people liked him then' and much more 'people forget how much they disliked the last guy when they dislike the new guy because their life is still hard.' I am constantly amazed at how little regular people think about politics, and how short their political memory is.
These Third Way chucklefucks want us to be the problem, because they cannot handle that they too are coasting on unearned white male privilege. Instead of wrestling with that, they endlessly litigate if a teenager should be allowed to play JV field hockey because it gives them cover as well
It's definitely giving this www.youtube.com/watch?v=zejK...
20 years ago, my Dad sent cartoons he'd clipped from the paper and $25 checks in my Grandmother's old Virginia Slims cards. I still remember fondly, I'm sure your daughter will appreciate as well
Exactly! Don’t cater to me and then tell me to go to hell.
It's the same thing going on with Lorenz and the Nazi's. They're nice to me, a white person, how can they be all bad? Just epic levels of credulousness.
This article is one of the few I've read that actually captures what it's like to live with migraine, especially the medication carousel (if you're able to get access at all.) I still have 5-10 migraines a month when treatments are working well. May we all soon have access to better treatments.
I'm not usually a horseshoe theory person but this is really getting out of control
Yes, but what if those filters *didn't work*? How magical!
Sticking it in Excel and then saying it can't do math is really something, isn't it?
It's the exact same shit as the anti-gay panics of the 80s, but about literal children. Won't somebody think of the children is always a dog whistle for a bad opinion someone can't justify.
Brendan Fraser has famously talked about how this type of abuse derailed his life and career for decades people.com/movies/brend.... Assault and abuse aren't gender-specific issues, as you're saying.
I always wonder if this guy was always a huge asshole, or if he grew to be one, because good lord do all of his takes suck.
Couldn't see it being blocked, same problem in regards to wanting services/hating immigrants
I will never understand the group of Americans who want to live in a booming economy full of available personal services and also don't like immigrants.
You just have to have ever smoked, so those few cigarettes you smoked in college when you were drinking totally count.
If we could get just like, one day where there isn't any shitty news, that would be really fantastic. I think the solution might be burying my phone in the yard.
I do remember him having more thoughts than just 'It's bad because Democrats say it's good' Glenn Greenwald brainrot
Yeah I would have been more excited to buy that, as one of the tens of people who owned a WiiU
Qwikster is the only one I can think of recently that was so disastrous it needed a walk back. WiiU I think was more a matter of not adding enough functionality to justify most folks upgrading.
Looks like they designed it in MS Paint
Oh man, mine is probably Pat Leahy
He’s an ass, and also I am totally fine with him trying to out Lib Leader Pritzker if this is the outcome.
Back in my day, we were artisanally groomed in AIM by real predators
This Screech ass doofus is just typing 80082 into a calculator and giggling
He’s a goddamn economist with an MD
Why did you make me do it, over and over and over again
the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.
So he got a bloody nose and now he's a hero? God these people are so soft.
I love being smart enough to know what's coming, and not smart enough to fix it. The life of a sea cucumber must have it's charms.
This is so good, and may help to explain to folks who are AI-curious about what they're actually doing: Asking Miss Cleo to do their homework, at the cost of all their personal data.
The Federal government as an MLM, great stuff. If you can't get a job it's because you're not trying hard enough, etc.
In the field I'm in folks are talking about the value of 'artisanal services', essentially "when you pay me, you're getting an actual human with expertise." This makes me feel better as someone who can provide these services, but much worse for the many that can't afford them.
Thank you Mark, having to see that woman's face again is homophobic and I'm glad to hear it shouldn't happen for long.
"It talks like it's people!" has broken brains at an alarming rate
If you don't want us to recognize the heresy don't steep us in the Christianity as children
I mean, don't tempt me with a good time
I've noticed the 'this is a distraction' calls get a whole hell of a lot louder when most of the victims are BIPOC too, everyone using 'distraction' talk is telling on themselves
If you had told me in 2008 that GWB would be a distant second in worst president in my lifetime I truly don't know what I would have done
We are clearly living in the worst timeline if I'm going to have to start seeing that absolute ghoul's face again. Just let me be fucking married in peace.
My wife just gasped so loud I thought it had actually happened. It had not, a twink had lost on Jeopardy.
We were also able to use Ask Jeeves with natural language, this is just a more convincing Jeeves
Katelyn they have to be born into poultry farming though, or they don't count, since they'll be lacking the 'equipment'
Yeah not trying to say that’s a good way of doing things, just that laws designed to limit generational wealth need to have realistic targets.
People's last names used to literally be the profession their family was in. I think passing down a small family business is a far cry from not taxing the estate of a dealership owner. Finding the spot where one goes from 'a good life' to 'has enough wealth to be inculcated from consequence' is key
What university, no matter the size, is going to invest in costly start up packages, lab space buildouts, and staffing for projects that can be cancelled at any time? I also don't see how this squares with the new push to frontload money. It was super nice having a job, this all sucks.
Yeah, we say it without the T at the end, not the R
Gotta decide what we're going to dump into the harbor this time, so many options!
They already do this, under the guise of prosperity gospel/MLMs/you'll too be rich beyond your wildest dreams if you just believe. I don't know how to move people from the goal of fabulous, unattainable wealth to a dignified life given what you say above but I think that's the project.
Gotta keep choosing the Index Fund option whenever you can, this is madness
Can't make money being anti-woke if your nonsense killed the woke...
Also, many kids using this are bound to think that their own versions aren't good enough because they don't sound as polished as an AI and then stop creating all together.
Cuomo wants Trumo out of his business, not yours will be the message that hopefully gets through. That man would not give an ounce of something he wanted to help someone else.
Thank you for articulating this, I've been trying to explain the feeling and hadn't gotten there.
My wife happened upon a group of our guy friends in PTown years ago. She walked up to them and nonchalantly asked "hey fellas, does anyone know the way to the Dick Dock?" The look on the face of the one dude who didn't know us was priceless. Enjoy your head empty, mouth full vacation!
Legit, and also the best way to ensure it's actually your spouse if needed. Your mother's maiden name? No good, people could know that. The weird song we're always singing to each other about cats? Definitely her!
"Propriety' and 'norms' need to die some ignoble deaths if we're every going to achieve the ideals of justice America is founded on
God god people, just read fan fiction
The outfits are definitely worse
with RFK ending vaccine development and research fundings we’re watching the american life expectancy get lower in real time it’s so cool
If you're not doing your own literature review, you're not following the rabbit holes of citations that will help you build your own case. This is all a fundamental understanding of the value of writing a paper. If it's just checking off a box then what are we doing here?
We're not even getting a good Evita!
"As a feminist..." *cue immediate swords*
I just hope that everyone in his own party hate him the way they hate Ted Cruz, because yikes on bikes is he awful.
I came looking for this and was not disappointed!
It's hard to hate as a hobby when everything sucks so bad, I salute you!
Everything sucks, but @theflytrapmedia.com doesn't. Do yourself a favor and read their latest from @andreagrimes.com. I mean, "I love disliking stuff, and sometimes I simply take a dislike to perfectly inoffensive shit for no reason at all, as a treat or just to keep my hating skills sharp" is gold
Right, like, she jumped straight from the pixels into real life, you would have to convince me she isn't Zelda.
I would add a fatphobic in there too. My school was too small for traditional gifted programs, but there were definite tracks, and it was awfully hard to get from one to the other without being thin and athletic.
Yeah I was super surprised to learn that Jake and Joes, for example, is a small local chain
This is our other local fav for takeout www.zhenggardenma.com, the Peking ravioli are outstanding.
Have y’all had www.spiritofindialexington.com? The gobi Manchurian pizza is life changing. And I agree about restaurants this way, though having moved up from Quincy I’m still missing a lot of the specialized Asian places.
Sounds like a whole month for members to do town halls across districts / do social media hits / go on local TV to just, you know, ask questions about this whole Epstein thing.
We’re all yelling into the void, but at least we’re yelling together, while our bodies start to fall apart.
As a life long New Englander, Florida and California are right. The cold, rocky ass, 3 mile hike away beaches here can’t hold a candle to a good beach.
Stop making me be on the timeline where I have to agree with David Brooks, please.
It uses those words and dashes because WE use them, the plagiarism machine has to plagiarize from somewhere!
I mean is it though? Mom handles everything while fragile Dad explodes at any criticism, however slight.
Would love to know if this author’s home and place of work have AC. Gonna bet they do…
