I have a new favorite photograph.

@WolfofX Why is she working and not looking after her child?

This library in Virginia created a desk for working parents

$126,500 3 bd 2 ba 1,563 sqft. Next to the park, six blocks walk to school, plus a shed!

@Empty_America We live in the wealthiest time. If people aren't having kids with $50,000, they probably won't with $100,000

There IS a very simple way to induce married parents to have 3 or 4 kids instead of 1 or 2, which is all that is required to solve the demographic problem. Large cash payment upon the birth of child #3 and all subsequent children. Only question is how much. This scheme avoids most of the negative side effects of baby payments, and also renders the angst about childless adults irrelevant, let them live as they please and pay their taxes.

@unusual_whales Boomers*

Americans are leaving the U.S. in record numbers, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the US’s enviable salaries, per WSJ

@SovereignIM If you want a woman HARDER to lead, you're screwing your kids over much harder. Intelligence was never a factor because no matter how intelligent they are, women are borderline retarded.

I look down on men for this. I’ve debated this topic many times before, and it is probably the most dysgenic thing about my sex “I want a woman who’s easier to lead, so I’ll get a simple one” Men really do be nerfing their kids genetics to be the wizard king of a potato woman.

@R_CathPR They're trying to invert the argument. The whole point is that veneration through statues is OK. Lol

Are you comparing Trump with the Mother of God?

NOW - Trump says it's good to have 500,000 foreign Chinese students in the U.S. and for China to purchase U.S. farmland; otherwise, colleges and farm prices would collapse: "I frankly think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture."

@6takn6 @Sankei_news Untrue. People who "party themselves out" often end up emotionally damaged, and expect this to continue as they age.

@Sankei_news むしろ逆じゃないかな。 若い頃に遊び尽くした人の方が歳を重ねてから落ち着くもの。逆に若い時期に遊びを知らずに育った人ほど、後になって火遊びに走りやすい気がする。これは男女問わず言えることで、アイドルの不祥事なんかを見ていても明らかだよね。

「交際経験ゼロの男性」でも結婚対象、女性の8割が回答　「浮気しにくい」と評価の声も sankei.com/article/202605… 浮気をしにくいなど、女性慣れした男性に比べて信頼できるとの見方も出た。同時に、そんな男性に対し懸念や不安が大きいこともうかがえた。

As an American I am genuinely curious: Have modern women always had the reputation of being this intolerable in Japan, or is this a relatively new thing? This is certainly a problem here, but Americans have the perception that Confucian standards kept feminism in check in East Asia.

So we replaced one set of degenerate vices for another set of (slightly less) degenerate vices? I don't want to get wasted, do drugs, destroy stuff, or sleep around, and I didn't want to do that back high school either. Mind you, I did not get a smartphone until I was practically graduating.

Le déclin de la consommation d’alcool chez les ados. En tant que médecin, je devrais m’en réjouir. Et pourtant, je suis plutôt inquiet. Parce qu’on confond peut-être disparition d’un symptôme et bonne santé d’une génération. Oui, les adolescents boivent moins. Mais ils sortent moins. Ils couchent moins. Ils prennent moins de risques. Ils conduisent moins. Ils vivent moins de rites de passage. On a l’impression d’avoir « résolu un problème », alors qu’on a aussi progressivement détruit ce qui transformait des adolescents en adultes. Téléphones. Vie sociale numérisée. Anxiété permanente. Discours catastrophistes sur l’avenir. Culture de l’évitement du risque. Parents hyperprotecteurs. L’adolescence d’avant était parfois brutale, parfois excessive, parfois dangereuse. Mais elle était aussi profondément formatrice. On apprenait la honte, le courage, le rejet, la séduction, la hiérarchie sociale, la transgression, la responsabilité. On apprenait à devenir adulte au contact des autres pas derrière un écran. Je ne fais pas l’apologie de l’alcool. Je dis simplement qu’une société qui produit des adolescents parfaitement « safe » mais socialement inhibés, anxieux et isolés devrait peut-être s’interroger.

@shagbark_hick Elmira is collapsing even faster than Binghamton. Victorian homes there go for $30,000.

Once again: Broke Artists need to PICK A TOWN in the middle of nowhere and flock to it. Preferably a town that is: 1. Actively dying / hopeless 2. Chock full of DIRT CHEAP housing 3. In a high-minimum-wage state 4. Has some kind of public transit Ogdensburg NY comes to mind. As does Herkimer, Tupper Lake, Malone, Binghamton, and Massena NY. Each has some kind of a local bus, some kind of connection to coach bus or Amtrak, low rent, and crazy cheap property. Literally anyone who wants to live a low-rent lifestyle, making art, writing novels, hanging around in warehouses and cafes, etc can show up in one of these towns and make it work. $16/hr minimum wage, houses for as little as $40,000 (Ogdensburg and Massena) or, on the higher end, $100k (Tupper Lake). STOP being fixated on NYC / Philly / MTL. Just make the leap. I'm already up here. I already paved the way. And if you want it even cheaper come to a village like mine, my house was $33,000. There's a cabin down the road from here for $17,000. You do not need to work a job here, period.

Texas pregnancy deaths did NOT suddenly rise 56% because abortion was banned. The statistic they’re throwing around measures year-over-year increases from 2019–2022… and Texas didn’t ban abortion until August 2022. I’ll give you one guess what major event happened between 2019 and 2022 that might’ve impacted pregnancy-related deaths. Hint: it wasn’t the abortion ban.

@lettuce_isgood That's kinda the irony though. Secular statues are a-ok, but the moment they feature a holy man, it's idolatry.

The Trump statue discourse is utterly dishonest and the only reason people care is the superficiality it’s gold leafed. Protestants are generally not against the creation of statues as long as they aren’t used in religious practice or in any way can be considered a proxy.

@deusimpera Average Novus Ordo "Catholic".

>I make a new Catholic friend in my parish. >He invites me to an event. >I check the location; it's a Masonic lodge.

@deusimpera I recall getting into an argument with a Catholic man whose father was a Mason. Deep down, it was clear he was afraid for his father's sake.

It's stuff like this that actually makes me somewhat optimistic for the future. The worst is over in terms of safralige and poor catechesis. Even TLM-only traditionalists must admit to this.

@carbo_al *Goes to a Catholic Mass* *Ticked off that it features Catholic teaching*

A Priest on Staten Island named Father Eric seems to be upsetting a lot of people in Google Reviews for being too based LMAO

BREAKING NEWS: In a shock twist of events, California recognizes the legitimacy of the Confederacy.

@zundamotisuki If you're under 60, yes. If you're under 30, ABSOLUTELY.
