$750 a year to maintain health

Lol

Well… They didn’t say that. So you’ll have to forgive people for thinking it applies to all men.

By percentage, but the total birthrate would (continue to) go down.

And now Trump’s gonna make it harder to immigrate, so the population may actually start nosediving.

Mgtow was not met with indifference. They’ve been consistently criticized since the movement first started, and they quickly evolved into a cabal of Nazi-adjacent freaks. Fuck those guys.

There may be some good that could come from a men’s movement for self actualization and improvement, but mgtow sure as shit wasn’t that

I mean, considering how many incels voted for trump, I think we’re pretty much already there. Many of the young men who voted red this election already have no close relationships with any women their age. Obviously women should exercise their autonomy as they see fit. I don’t expect it to change how anyone votes.

I’ll probably be downvoted for this, but progressives have spent the last several years actively shutting down lines of communication with men, particularly white men. For the best of reasons, sure, but it hasn’t been an effective strategy for winning elections.

Maybe this would sway some group of center-left men who didn’t bother voting, but realistically I expect it will have no effect on the ongoing polarization, or exagerrate it.

Metal. A lot of people kinda freak out when they hear you like metal of any kind. And not in a good way.

Depends on your goal. If you genuinely think you can change their mind then… Maybe. Otherwise, why not stick up for trans & intersex folks?

Wow, looked it up just now; apparently the US is only #15, after a bunch of Pacific islands, and a couple others

Stupid people think they’re both caused solely by laziness

Didn’t even know this movie had been announced until I’d heard it was bombing. I never watched the first one so odds were pretty slim I’d have seen it anyway.

The bottom arrow is, definitionally, pointing left.

If I ask you to turn around to the right, are you going to ask me what side of you I’m referencing?

No, because humans have a pretty clear forward direction. Screws don’t. You say turn a screw to the right, do you mean make the top of the screw move right or the bottom move right?

Most people assume the top, but not all, and the language is ambiguous.

If you’re looking head on to the screw/nut/whatever then we’re talking about the top of the screw/but/whatever.

You can also imagine if the nut was actually a wheel. Which way would you spin it to make it roll left or right.

Confused the hell out of me at a young age. That’s how I came around to thinking of it

Neat. Never gonna do this to my deck, but neat.

Who said anything about retirement?

And if you know why people buy treasuries then why did you ask?

You’re using hindsight to pretend like there’s no reason to buy treasuries while also demonstrating an understanding of why people do. You’ll forgive my confusion.

Also, the NYSE had an expected return of 6-8%. That was not at all a guarantee; we didn’t know that. My statement holds true.

A year ago we didn’t know the market would grow so much, or at all.

Today we don’t know if these trends will continue, stop, or even reverse. Past performance doesn’t guarantee future returns, yada yada.

The whole point of bonds is that they be more stable and reliable than other securities. They’re a useful tool for investors looking for stability.

It is very much state pride as well, and force of habit; most Americans don’t travel out of country much (for a few reasons) so we don’t often have to tell people where we’re from who don’t already have a good grasp of American geography.

Also, frankly, people can usually tell we’re American before we tell them, for better or worse. Might as well give you a bit more specificity.

You could probably sell Americans on lowering the drinking age in many States, but there’s some big legal hurdles and pretty much everyone agrees we’ve got bigger problems to deal with first.

It’s typically both. So little chlorine you won’t notice unless you have a particular condition like op or you’re doing something weird like growing algae. You can also just leave a glass of water out for a while and the chlorine will evaporate out of it.

Calling yourself Americans, after the entire dual continent

This is one (small) reason why many USAians will tell you their state if you ask where they’re from.
