⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear. It migrated inward. Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space. That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons. So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public. The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it. The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open. The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility. That is the trade. A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation. This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question. The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults. It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation. The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

This video is remarkable. Bertie Ahern, seemingly out canvassing for Cllr Stephens in the upcoming Dublin Central by-election, seems to go beyond simply telling someone what they want to hear to get out of an awkward encounter on a doorstep. He appears to agree that mass immigration has not benefited Ireland with Africans being a particular problem. He is aware of the imported Indian upper middle class bulk buying up prime property and consigning native Irish to emigration or their childhood bedroom. He seems aware that Islam is not compatible with Western values and in the second and third generations leads to a breakdown in social cohesion and a rise in extremism. So either he's telling people what they want to hear on the doorstep - which will sound unsavoury even for FF's friends in the national media and if they ignore it it'll be impossible to deny their position as the PR arm of the state, or he does believe these things but doesn't have the courage to speak up while others are being demonised as 'far right' and 'racist'. Interesting to see how this plays out...or is buried.

This woman is 100% right and watch as even Bertie Ahern admits the Africans are a problem and that the next generation of Muslims are going to be trouble, who knew Bertie Ahern was right wing,racist and Islamophobic 😂😂😂 #BertieAhern #IrelandIsFull #IrelandBelongsToTheIrish

@PeterB585337060 @shedrinkswater If you, a man, go along with every desire your wife has, you will make a mess of everything and will be held accountable for the damage done. Not every thought should be spoken, not every desire should be pursued. Protecting your woman transcends physical exercise.

Many women possess desires that conflict with the socially acceptable image they are expected to maintain, and society often pressures them to suppress or feel ashamed of those desires. A woman may deeply want to feel sexually desired, psychologically seen, and fully accepted by the man she chooses, including the parts of herself that are less polished, less controlled, and less “good.” A great deal of female sexuality revolves around trust: the ability to reveal desires that feel raw, transgressive, or emotionally exposing without losing emotional safety in the eyes of the man she loves. This tension is partly why dynamics like the Madonna-whore complex emerge psychologically in discussions around intimacy and desire. Some men respect their women so deeply that they become overly restrained sexually, and while respect is essential, excessive inhibition inside intimacy can sometimes create emotional distance rather than closeness. Desire often requires a space where both people feel free enough to express the less socially curated sides of themselves.

I wish I was a sex slave. It's kind of annoying my husband respects my boundaries and autonomy and all that nonsense.

It is the exact opposite. China has rightly taken the heat out of its real estate market. This was an asset bubble that needed deflating. They have managed to do this without crashing their real estate market. The Western real estate market is going to have to do the same thing only in our case that will involve it crashing and burning.

Ireland - Dublin 🇮🇪 Somali migrants beat each other to a pulp in Dun Laoghaire on a sunny Sunday. Let me be clear - these people are of absolutely no benefit to Ireland. Every last one of them should be rounded up and kicked out of our country for good. Follow us and share

Calling Old Irish, Old Gaelic is entirely reasonable given that the language was spoken natively in both Britain and Ireland. The Gaelic language has been spoken natively in Britain since at least the 2nd century AD, but as I theorize, it developed across regions of both from the proto-Celtic period. Calling the language at that point Irish is therefore not geographical accurate. This is a growing view. Some years ago when I pointed this out, it was scarcely heard of. Now, a quick search of Old Irish will mention it is also known as Old Gaelic.

the best test of masculinity tbh is playfulness and humor the less playful a man is, the more insecure he is i find this to be the case 99% of the time and i usually always select my friends based on whether or not we can vibe and play and laugh together the inability to play and have fun and make fun out of things is a form of fragility even with myself this is the case the more relaxed and secure and confident i am, the more playful and humorous i also become likewise the more stressed i am, the more i lose my capacity for play and fun

Government released detailed expenditure data today. Ireland’s yearly social welfare bill has exploded from €9bn to €43bn. That is a €34bn increase and a 370% surge. Even in the last 3 years alone it is up €6.4bn. This is completely out of control.

Handre@Handre·
Soviet chandelier factories received production quotas measured in tons, not quality or function. Factory managers responded rationally to the incentive structure: they packed chandeliers with extra metal, concrete, and lead weights to hit their tonnage targets. The heavier the chandelier, the better their performance metrics looked to central planners in Moscow. Apartment dwellers across the USSR paid the price. Chandeliers weighing hundreds of pounds crashed through ceilings, destroying furniture and injuring families below. Reports from the 1970s and 1980s document dozens of ceiling collapses in Kiev, Leningrad, and Moscow as these industrial monstrosities proved too heavy for residential construction. Factory managers got their bonuses while citizens dodged falling light fixtures. The system worked exactly as designed. When you divorce production decisions from market prices and consumer preferences, you get perverse outcomes. Central planners measured success through crude metrics they could track from their desks, not through the satisfaction of end users. Factory managers optimized for the measurement system, not for making chandeliers that actually functioned as lighting. You see identical dynamics today wherever bureaucrats substitute their judgment for market mechanisms. Public school systems optimize for standardized test scores rather than education. Hospitals game Medicare reimbursement codes rather than focus on patient outcomes. Police departments chase arrest quotas rather than reducing crime. The Soviet chandelier problem lives on in every corner of the administrative state. The market solves the chandelier problem instantly through profit and loss. Customers refuse to buy chandeliers that destroy their homes, driving bad producers out of business and rewarding those who build functional products.
