I’m only half of the decision tree, but I really appreciate your kind words of encouragement :) we’re trying, but cautiously.

yeah definitely a meeting point of factors.

also this is global, so I thought there was a strong correlation between agrarian societies, having low or depressed wages, and having lots of kids to help with the farm labor, or because there isn’t much else to do for fun.

This could be a regressive imperialist view, idk, but its what I was always told about the correlation between wages and children, especially on a global scale - would be interested to see this same chart for singular countries, the USA for example.

Other commenter pointed out that typically higher incomes generally come with rights for child bearers… So that also could have something to do with it too.

Anecdotal, but partner and I have put off having children multiple times due to affordability, IE who can take that much time off work and still pay food/rent costs?

Honestly the credibility of the NYT sinks every single day, it is a real shame how far mainstream media has fallen, and I think it honestly helps cause a lot of the Youtuber reporter BS

Never fear, Chucky come lately is here!

seems like a ragebait propaganda piece used to divide us further, its those evil queers who caused Donald Trump to win the election.

Hey you read this situation better than I did, props, it was truly a TACO tuesday.

You’re totally right about the drones, I don’t think our military has the slightest clue what is coming for them on a war scaled against china, and I think China is actually the winner of this war, as saturation missile and drone attacks have been their plans for a long time (missile more than drone, but now why not both?!).

We keep defunding laser weapons, which may be for good reason, but I always imagine it is because their is no repeatable grift on a laser weapon unlike a missile which requires lots of military industrial complex funding and maintenance on a huge scale.

They definitely succeeded, our economy is pretty fucked. Curious what long term effects come from this.

As an aside, I would love to see a comparison of DJ’s 10 point ceasefire deal and the original Obama deal, feels like we are much worse off now as we are responsible for paying for both the weapons we launched, and the damage we did, how dumb can we be?

don’t worry we will save our rgb blessed children.

Yeah, one of my intel sources is a call for prefabricated bunkers from the pentagon on 3/28 with a request for delivery options on a 3 day, 14 day, and 30 day timeline.

Of course this could just be work to harden our bases since a lot of the infrastructure dates back to the early 2000’s, but I think it is a meaningful piece.

Unsure if there were any orders placed, or where the request went, so we may be a bit premature for putting in troops, I just do not really understand where DJ goes from here if he doesn’t make good on his threat - and they have been hitting kharg island all day.

Maybe that is the plan though, make Iran think we are going to launch troops tonight to see how they respond, or as a move of brinkmanship.

Of course, I am trying to apply rational logic to an actor we all know to be irrational, so you may end being right that this is all bluster and no planning.

definitely a strategic blunder, but then again what about this mission hasn’t been?

TACOs are always on the table at the white house, but I would support this one.

I really hope I am wrong. TACO is always on the table.

Betting they land troops on Kharg island tonight, or somewhere.

So wait, was he born in Laos or Guangzhou?

Also, is he 62 or 57?

Interesting discrepancies, curious what other articles might say.

I disagree with the concept, but not your analysis of their (maybe your?) mindset.

If you follow that thread of logic you basically can end up with clearance to bomb anything you want, I guess thats why we hit that elementary school…

why blow up the bridge though? That is such a small dick energy move, like blow up legitimate military targets, not public infrastructure you fucking donkeys.

glad I didn’t listen to my spouse and built my badass computer right when the 9070XT / 5070TI came out (went with the 9070 for the 16gb vram, happy with the card).

Right? The gymnastics to support conversion therapy on one hand and on the other claim books in the library are making people gay is absurd.

I’ll always be fighting right here next to you sibbling, and I think the majority of actual people who are living under these circumstances agree.
