@Jens_Rasmussen @LukeAlmighty @dave Cognitively taxing skills vs memory taxing skills.

Keeping knowledge and details of many different systems and juggling them is objectively hard.

Performing the same motion in a similar manner in repeated and streamlined environment is easier.

Time cost aside, one old ways worked universally, while modern are often unique, that causes fatigue.
@mimorinka @MasterSimper @bleedingphoenix The pre-Disney Extended Universe had plenty of pre-made stories to refine, expand, adapt to other media. Bob Igor, Kennedy, and company threw that all out because the Star Wars EU was made mostly by straight, White men for straight White men and would interfere with Yidsney globohomo plans.

@moffintosh @charliebrownau @LukeAlmighty Not looking out for your own is how you get replaced by an outgroup that does

It's an immutable truth that genes are selfish. Kinship is real and it has real effects on behaviours and outcomes

The default state is racial self preference. Whites only go against this now after a century of propaganda and coercion and only as long as the social benefits outweigh the cost, which won't be true for long

If your game cannot be optimized on time to run smoothly, turn off Denuvo. It's a miracle just how much better the game is going to run.

Btw, you don't have to pay me, this advice was for free.

Kill redditors. Behead redditors. Roundhouse kick a redditors into the concrete. Slam dunk a redditors baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy redditors. Defecate in a redditors food. Launch redditors into the sun. Stir fry redditors in a wok. Toss redditors into active volcanoes.
@moffintosh @LukeAlmighty @charliebrownau Was going to ask about inverse relationship between rich populations and birthrate, but it seems like you are right per capita: :jahy_hmm:

However, there still is the issue where richer Western and Western-influenced (Japan, Korea, China) countries do experience abysmal fertility rates compared to less rich Latin, African, and Eastern countries. I have to indirectly agree with LukeAlmighty in the sense that the West instilling a certain anti-natal and natal-resistant ideology through means like education kills fertility.
Any striving for absolute sexual equality, rather than for a complementarian or patriarchal approaches, kills fertility quickly, even when governments provide for family benefits compared to Western countries that do not:

And you cannot fake traditionalism either, compare self-professing conservative Protestants to those that actually act consistently with the commands of Scriptures ("Biblical literalism" and active church participation) and thus the Bible's patriarchal worldviews:

Note that Perry and Scleifer, page 9, admit that another study has better definition of "conservative Protestant" compared to others and their own for this reason.
Also note that Perry and Scleifer do not discuss the rise of feminist and feminism-improving (anything that aids the increase of feminism but are not by themselves essential to feminist) beliefs and actions within American conservative Protestant circles. They only mention a shallow "mingling of Evangelicals with mainstream culture", which is not an acceptable analysis in any setting.
Also note that a recent study showed that many so-called or self-professing conservative Protestants do not even posses consistent beliefs with the definition of "conservative Protestants" absolving them the right to be called such. This study was conducting after Perry's and Scleifer's, so they would not have benefited form this.

I don't care about the environment, but I do not believe the activists do either, until the newsletter spamming is punishable by prison.
