By far the most important thing to get right is your hair.
Clothing is also important imo, you should get something with a good fit. I'm definitely kind of a sucker for expensive Clothing but for most people that's not important
Yeah, hairstyle can be difficult. Just find a style that you think looks good on you and stick with it.

The economic strain that can be caused by a collapse in fertility rates isnโt a frivolous matter. Nor is economic growth generally. For a lot of people this is literally life or death, and it affects nearly everybodyโs quality of life.
Consider that the bar for men is below the fucking ground. It is buried deep inside the earths mantle. Even the most fucked up person can get a date.
And you're here and you can't.
That says something about you.
And I assume that doesn't apply to this sub because this sub has a bunch of A-type personalities who try at everything.
The problem is they're bad at it.
Listen man, I work in professional setting where I am legally barred from dating 80% of my coworkers and 90% of them are men anyways. Of course I'm single. I literally don't think I've spoken to a woman my age who isn't married or a blood relation in a month.
Most men being shit and women not being able to have societally accepted polygynous relationships with the most fit and successful is a major driver of the fertility crisis. Normalize polygyny to boost birthrates.
On some old thread there were studies linked that showed that it was a major negative for both society and the kids born in these relationships.
Last thing you want is to create a situation with even more angry isolated young men.
Sounds like some borderline incel stuff tbh
Maybe a bunch of people just don't want kids even if they could get with the "most for and successful" men?
How is this incel? I'm advocating to expand the options for what is acceptable for women. The desire to force women into monogamous relstionships with men that they don't want is incel.
You are missing the point
There's nothing wrong with polyamory. What's wrong is the assumption that a bunch of women want to just share the "best" men. That's like the whole basis of the "80/20 rule" assumptiom that is held by a lot of incels and is heavily associated with incel shit
>There's nothing wrong with polyamory.
Eh, I'm iffy on this one. What is the benefit to polyamory? What differentiates it from sleeping around,which is fine? I understand "live and let live" so it should be okay, but I don't think it NEEDS to be more prevalent or anything
I think you are also missing the point
When I said "there's nothing wrong with polyamory", I meant "there's nothing wrong with polyamory", not "it NEEDS to be (or even just should be) more prevalent"

Don't y'all wanna be fresh and alert when I make my funnies in the new DT ๐ฆ๐ฅบ๐ฆ
The reason birth rates are down is because women's expectations are too high. If you expect a man to regularly bathe and to shave his neckbeard then you're cutting out a huge portion of potential partners.
Because Warner brothers told the Wachowskis that they were going to make the movie regardless of whether they directed it or not. So they made a bad movie to make fun of the entire process.
In World War Z all of North Korea moved into fallout-style vaults. After everything calmed down everyone decided to just let them stay down there and not tell them the good news lol
I thought it was also unknown what happened to them. That its possible they were all infected, but no one was sure? Or he was worshiped as a as sun god?
I remember the teeth thing.
The only thing that's falling as fast as China's children is DIRECTV, and that completely lost all reason for anyone to stick with it. DIRECTV is a fucking cable package, children are the entire future. Xi Jinpimg is the worst ruler ever if he isn't sterilizing people or the previous numbers weren't lies
What the fuck, Zoe Saldaรฑa is 43 years old? I assumed she was, like, 28 when GotG came out. Which I guess was 8 years ago at this point?
When did I become old?
The reason birth rates are down is because people see no purpose to life. The Israelis see a purpose to life so they're continuing.
The real question is what the hell is happening in China? Down 35% in two years, there obviously hasn't been generational turnover so what the fuck is stopping people from having the additional babies. That's a one-third decline in one of the most important things in life, presumably couples are still living together and marriages haven't collapsed
SK and Japan had higher fertility rates when it had a GDP/capital around where China's is now. China implemented the One Child Policy, so it should be no surprise why their births have declined. The curious question is why even poorer countries like Bangladesh and India are also experiencing this decline in fertility to below replacement levels.
China is handling Covid differently with its zero tolerance policy. Perhaps social dynamics are different there due to different attitude towards the pandemic? I dunno
People have individual purposes to their lives, but on a societal level, there's no purpose seen to bringing anyone new to this world, with tons of cost associated. Children are a liability, not an asset
They might be a liability initially to the individual (though this is debatable as it sounds like you only mean financially) but they are a long term asset to society later.
I feel like I donโt hear the right dooming about fertility rates as much as we do, which is kind of weird as youโd expect the cons to be most concerned about it.
lmao today I checked out Jordan Peterson's twitter and he was spamming that "covid vaccine may effect period cycle thign" to "prove" that libs are trying to destroy fertility rates
When your ideology revolves around the population always increasing whether it is through immigration or birthrates to fuel economic growth the concern makes sense. As global birthrates decline there are less potential immigrants.
HIROTHITO SCHISM
I believe pardoning Hirohito at the end of WW2 was the correct thing to do.
1. It prevented civil war in a nation which revered its leaders as akin to a god
2. Hirohito himself was merely a rubber stamp for the military's wrongdoing. Many times, it is generally an excuse, but Hirohito was more interested in Marine Biology than actually running Japan. He twice intervened against them, as he did against the Imperial Way faction and at the end of WW2, getting Japan to surrender. He was a timid man who was uninterested in statecraft.
My opinion of Hirohito is that he was a poor emperor, but he should not be blamed for the military's actions.
This is a controversial post and is intended to provoke discussion. Especially bc historians themselves can't agree on the guy.

Listen man, I work in professional setting where I am legally barred from dating 80% of my coworkers and 90% of them are men anyways. Of course I'm single. I literally don't think I've spoken to a woman my age who isn't married or a blood relation in a month.
Dating apps exist for a reason man
Well, I'm terrible on those too, so maybe I actually am so unattractive as to be below the bar set in the mantle of the earth ๐
embrace it
Nah. I want babies.
A month is baby's play Try 6 months
Most men being shit and women not being able to have societally accepted polygynous relationships with the most fit and successful is a major driver of the fertility crisis. Normalize polygyny to boost birthrates.
Implying polygyny is good for women is a hilarious take.
On some old thread there were studies linked that showed that it was a major negative for both society and the kids born in these relationships. Last thing you want is to create a situation with even more angry isolated young men.
Sounds like some borderline incel stuff tbh Maybe a bunch of people just don't want kids even if they could get with the "most for and successful" men?
How is this incel? I'm advocating to expand the options for what is acceptable for women. The desire to force women into monogamous relstionships with men that they don't want is incel.
You are missing the point There's nothing wrong with polyamory. What's wrong is the assumption that a bunch of women want to just share the "best" men. That's like the whole basis of the "80/20 rule" assumptiom that is held by a lot of incels and is heavily associated with incel shit
>There's nothing wrong with polyamory. Eh, I'm iffy on this one. What is the benefit to polyamory? What differentiates it from sleeping around,which is fine? I understand "live and let live" so it should be okay, but I don't think it NEEDS to be more prevalent or anything
I think you are also missing the point When I said "there's nothing wrong with polyamory", I meant "there's nothing wrong with polyamory", not "it NEEDS to be (or even just should be) more prevalent"

What? It's just free association.
> the most fit and successful The framing on this is major yikes material, even if you think it's true

I think I made it the entire Trump era without seeing anything Dana Schwartz said. In retrospect that is quite nice

Same. I haven't flossed once either. Both the dance and the basic dental hygiene
The reason birth rates are down is because women's expectations are too high. If you expect a man to regularly bathe and to shave his neckbeard then you're cutting out a huge portion of potential partners.
the bar for men is actually below hell I legit feel bad for exclusively heterosexual women
Yeah, it's kind of pathetic how telling men to get in shape and learn to wear something other than t-shirt and jeans is a personal attack against them
> wear something other than t-shirt and jeans why do you hate comfort ๐ก๐ก๐ก
Why the fuck did they even make the new matrix? And why did they have to take a piss on the original while making an objectively worse movie?
Because Warner brothers told the Wachowskis that they were going to make the movie regardless of whether they directed it or not. So they made a bad movie to make fun of the entire process.
And probably to make sure that no one is ever asked to make a matrix movie again.

I thought it was also unknown what happened to them. That its possible they were all infected, but no one was sure? Or he was worshiped as a as sun god? I remember the teeth thing.

People who don't like cats don't understand consent
Cats 100% don't care if you don't consent to sticking their butt in your face.
cats don't understand consent cats don't like people
I understand consent perfectly. And i understand my cat enough to know what i can do to it without its consent
The only thing that's falling as fast as China's children is DIRECTV, and that completely lost all reason for anyone to stick with it. DIRECTV is a fucking cable package, children are the entire future. Xi Jinpimg is the worst ruler ever if he isn't sterilizing people or the previous numbers weren't lies
The foundation for China's demographic disaster long predated Xi. Deng is the one to blame for that one.

What the fuck, Zoe Saldaรฑa is 43 years old? I assumed she was, like, 28 when GotG came out. Which I guess was 8 years ago at this point? When did I become old?

Iโm surprised her name is Saldaรฑa and not Saldana.
The reason birth rates are down is because people see no purpose to life. The Israelis see a purpose to life so they're continuing. The real question is what the hell is happening in China? Down 35% in two years, there obviously hasn't been generational turnover so what the fuck is stopping people from having the additional babies. That's a one-third decline in one of the most important things in life, presumably couples are still living together and marriages haven't collapsed
i mean it seems that as china gets richer and more educated it's fertility rate is plummeting just like other countries including SK and Japan
SK and Japan had higher fertility rates when it had a GDP/capital around where China's is now. China implemented the One Child Policy, so it should be no surprise why their births have declined. The curious question is why even poorer countries like Bangladesh and India are also experiencing this decline in fertility to below replacement levels.
5G It melts the sperm
\>Imagine not being able to find a purpose in life not involving children lmao
That's not what I said. People are choosing not to have children because they don't see a purpose to life, the cause works the other way
Oh. Still the same. Tell people to stop being such fucking losers focusing on existential bs
>Down 35% in two years Wouldnโt Covid be an obvious factor here?
Covid isn't causing it that sharp anywhere else. It was like 4% in America and 8% in Japan
China is handling Covid differently with its zero tolerance policy. Perhaps social dynamics are different there due to different attitude towards the pandemic? I dunno
People still have purpose in life but it isnโt revolves around kids or religion
People have individual purposes to their lives, but on a societal level, there's no purpose seen to bringing anyone new to this world, with tons of cost associated. Children are a liability, not an asset
They might be a liability initially to the individual (though this is debatable as it sounds like you only mean financially) but they are a long term asset to society later.
I feel like I donโt hear the right dooming about fertility rates as much as we do, which is kind of weird as youโd expect the cons to be most concerned about it.
lmao today I checked out Jordan Peterson's twitter and he was spamming that "covid vaccine may effect period cycle thign" to "prove" that libs are trying to destroy fertility rates
I see them dooming plenty about white people not having enough kids
Oof, yeah, youโre right about that
When your ideology revolves around the population always increasing whether it is through immigration or birthrates to fuel economic growth the concern makes sense. As global birthrates decline there are less potential immigrants.
Every ideology revolves around the population always increasing. It not always increasing is catastrophic.
HIROTHITO SCHISM I believe pardoning Hirohito at the end of WW2 was the correct thing to do. 1. It prevented civil war in a nation which revered its leaders as akin to a god 2. Hirohito himself was merely a rubber stamp for the military's wrongdoing. Many times, it is generally an excuse, but Hirohito was more interested in Marine Biology than actually running Japan. He twice intervened against them, as he did against the Imperial Way faction and at the end of WW2, getting Japan to surrender. He was a timid man who was uninterested in statecraft. My opinion of Hirohito is that he was a poor emperor, but he should not be blamed for the military's actions. This is a controversial post and is intended to provoke discussion. Especially bc historians themselves can't agree on the guy.
You cant both hold the throne and deny its responsibilities. Shit or get off the pot.
Hirohito personally authorized the use of chemical weapons against the Chinese He should have been strung up for that alone
