@ReasonBeing @chickyxime Yet what’s the point of taking them out then? That’s just a waste of time fr pay for your own meal and go about your day

Man refuses to pay for dates meal because she says she's not going to sleep with him

@BradWilcoxIFS @pearlythingz Who cares? These women will still end up dying alone. Yas queen!

Gen-Z Single Women Out-Graduating, Out-Earning--and Now Out-Buying--Single Men Young single women are increasingly out-graduating, out-earning & out-buying their male peers. The same pattern we've watched in colleges & many workplaces--where females are outpacing males--has now reached the housing market: ✔️Just 18% of Gen Z homebuyers are single males ✔️ Fully 35% of Gen Z homebuyers are single females abcnews.com/Lifestyle/wire…

@sukh_saroy @grok summarize this post (I’m not reading all that)

A team of researchers in New Zealand followed 1,037 babies from the day they were born for the next 45 years to find out what actually determines a successful adult life, and the strongest predictor they found had almost nothing to do with intelligence or family wealth. The findings have been published in the most prestigious scientific journals in the world. Almost no parent has heard of them. His name is Avshalom Caspi. Her name is Terrie Moffitt. They are a husband and wife research team based at Duke University and King's College London, and the study they have spent their careers running is called the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study. It started in 1972 in a single hospital in Dunedin, New Zealand. Every baby born there in a 12-month window was enrolled. 1,037 of them. The study is still running today. The retention rate is the part that should astonish anyone familiar with how research usually works. After more than 45 years, over 90 percent of the original participants are still being tracked. Most longitudinal studies lose half their sample inside ten years. The Dunedin team has lost almost nobody. They measured everything. Blood. DNA. Brain scans. Income. Criminal records. Romantic relationships. Drug use. Dental health. Sleep. Mental health. Lung function. They flew participants who had moved abroad back to Dunedin every few years for a full day of assessments. Some of those people now live in seven different countries. They still show up. For the first decade of life, the team did something nobody else was doing systematically. They measured each child's self-control. Not IQ. Not family income. Not parenting style. Self-control. They watched 3-year-olds in a research lab and rated their ability to wait, regulate frustration, follow instructions, and resist impulsive reactions. They added teacher ratings. They added parent ratings. They added the children's own self-reports as they grew older. They combined all of it into a single highly reliable score. Then they did the thing nobody else had the patience to do. They waited. When the data came in at age 32, the result was so consistent it should be illegal to teach a child without it. The children who scored lowest on self-control at age 3 grew into adults with worse physical health, more substance dependence, lower incomes, more credit card debt, higher rates of single parenthood, more criminal convictions, and worse mental health than the children who scored highest. The pattern was not subtle. It was a clean gradient. Every step up in childhood self-control produced a measurable step up in adult outcomes across every domain the team could measure. The detail that should disturb every parent reading this is what happened when the researchers controlled for the obvious objections. When they controlled for IQ, the effect held. When they controlled for family income and social class, the effect held. When they compared siblings inside the same family, the sibling with lower self-control still had worse adult outcomes than the sibling with higher self-control. Same parents. Same house. Same dinner table. The trait was running independently of everything researchers expected to explain it. The paper landed in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 2011. The title was as plain as it gets. "A gradient of childhood self-control predicts health, wealth, and public safety." It has been cited thousands of times since. Almost no policy maker has acted on it. The reason most people resist this finding is that it sounds like a sentence handed down before the child could speak. If the trait that determines your adult life is locked in by age 3, the rest of your life is a formality. The Dunedin researchers say that is the wrong way to read the data. They found something else in the same paper that almost nobody quotes. Some of the children whose self-control scores improved between childhood and adolescence ended up with adult outcomes far better than their early scores predicted. The trait is not destiny. It is a muscle. Children who learned to wait, regulate, and resist between ages 5 and 15 caught up with kids who started ahead. Self-control is the one childhood trait nobody seems to teach on purpose anymore. Schools focus on test scores. Parents focus on activities. Coaches focus on performance. The part of the brain that decides between five seconds from now and five years from now is left to develop on its own, and the data shows it usually does not. The most uncomfortable part of the research is the cost calculation Moffitt and Caspi ran. They estimated that if a country could move the bottom 20 percent of children up one rung on the self-control ladder, it would measurably reduce healthcare spending, welfare dependency, and incarceration costs at the national level. The intervention is cheaper than almost any other public health investment available. Almost no country has tried it at scale. The reason adults struggle with money, weight, addiction, and relationships is rarely intelligence. It is the gap between what you want right now and what you want in ten years, and which side of that gap your nervous system is built to listen to. Most people lost that fight at age 4 and never went back to learn the technique. You were not behind because life dealt you a bad hand. You were behind because the part of you that decides between right now and the rest of your life was never taught how to choose. The good news is the muscle is still there. Almost nobody trains it after age 10. You can be the one who does.

@thisgogreen 0% chance he kicked the dog. She just trying to create sad victim story

In a world full of bad news… choose kindness ❤️

@isfjcutebear @RappyGrinder No female leader is organic

@RappyGrinder I never voted for this party It was created and funded by the CIA look it up

What if…. The country just got smaller? 🤦🏻🤔 Whenever someone says “there aren’t going to be enough people” ask them to finish the sentence: there aren’t going to be enough people FOR WHAT? The societal system we have now? What if… wait for it… we changed our civilization?

🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨 Japan's Liberal Democratic Party's new 2026 official policy states "fix" for the collapsing birth rate is importing foreign labor Is this a total surrender on the domestic demographic crisis, or the only realistic move left? 👇 THOUGHTS? For years, people said this was a conspiracy theory. Now it’s written directly into official party policy. “人口減少対策…外国人材との共生を総合的に推進します” Translation: “The government will comprehensively promote population decline countermeasures including coexistence with foreign workers.” Japan’s ruling party is admitting what comes next: Mass immigration as economic policy. Do you support this decision?👇️ ①YES ②NO 🇯🇵

@CaudilloNuclear She’s almost pretty

I've had a tiktok video made of me too. Get over it and toughen up. We are all they have, of course they talk endlessly about us.

@Kshi_nippon Don’t trust female politicians. They are all Trojan horses. They will talk about “my country is for us” and as soon as they get in power they bring in a bunch of muslims & Africans

Japanese politician Mizuho Umemura says: “Japan belongs to the Japanese people. Foreigners should respect Japanese culture and traditions.” Do you agree? 1. Yes 2. No

@1xjaaay15 @chickyxime I’m not talking about sex. I’m talking about taking loser women out on a date and tricking them into buying you dinner by insulting them with a sex ultimatum, and then watching them crash out while you eat your free dinner.

@ReasonBeing @chickyxime They’re men who are doing it lol I’m not a pervert like you and the video was about sex tf

@airkatakana Men have known what’s wrong for a long time. Women have to figure it out… And they aren’t going to.

we have about 20 years to figure out what is wrong with women and fix it, or humanity is going extinct

No one is at fault for throwing a baby in a dumpster except the person who threw the baby in a dumpster. Why are women so allergic to accountability? She could have anonymously dropped the baby off at a fire station, or church, or hospital or adoption agency and disappeared forever with no legal or financial responsibilities… but she chose a dumpster because she’s a piece of shit

Hot take but we literally tried to warn you that this is what happens when abortion access isn’t accessible.

@1xjaaay15 @chickyxime What? No one is doing this to get laid. It’s just a way to get women to buy you dinner. Everything isn’t about sex you pervert

@ReasonBeing @chickyxime There’s nothing funny about that and if that’s what you have to do to get some pussy then something is wrong

@1xjaaay15 @chickyxime It’s hilarious actually. Free dinner and a show 😂 Watching a fragile female ego crumble and crash out

@ReasonBeing @chickyxime That’s sad honestly

@uncledoomer Millennial women, ladies & gentlemen.

its so funny that men found out that this was what women were doing at their jobs and the men went "im crashing this economy with no survivors"

@isfjcutebear Never trust women leaders

🚨Just in: Japanese PM Takaichi to give foreign aid to struggling Sudanese people ~3million USD Do you think this is justified, or should she be giving that to struggling Japanese families instead?

It seems dirty Gaijin care about preserving Japan more than the Japanese do. Sign me up. This is the way.

@BritisherPaz49 Why isn’t this on the mainstream news?

Odd isn’t it. As soon as Japan import Muslims, their Buddhist temples start getting burned to the ground, just like churches all over Europe.
