You realize this is a dream job for a sizable chunk of the population. Immured inside a big concrete cylinder & drip fed worm percocet so you can play Space Shipping Tycoon for 5,000 years in a row. There’s guys out there doing that for free right now
Can any dune book reader explain why anyone would choose to become a navigator in Dune?
In the world of Dune, navigators are barely human anymore. They spend years immersed in highly concentrated spice gas, causing their bodies to mutate severely until they resemble strange fish-like creatures. So, why would anyone accept such a terrible price?
Nazi Germany and Vichy France used both the carrot and the stick to get the birthrate up, ordinances to push women out of the workplace and generous benefits for mothers; the effect was negligible.
Kinda weird that China is letting the birth rate collapse. They’re authoritarian and can do things western egalitarian countries can’t.
Just as they compelled people to only have one child, surely they have a whole range of policy options not available to WEIRD countries. For example, punitive taxes on older childless women, or banning women from full-time work, or making universities mostly for young men so as to recreate the pre-modern dating market where most men naturally had higher status than most women.
Thought experiment of course, but yeah. Seems like they don’t view it as truly an existential problem
Dass Berek bei der TU Berlin beschäftigt ist und solche Hetzschriften mit ihrem Logo oben drauf veröffentlichen kann, ist ein eklatantes Versagen akademischer Selbstkontrolle. Das reicht nicht einmal mehr zum Pseudo in Pseudo-Wissenschaft heran.

Fallout 4 feels like a chore once you finish the main quest - what do you mean I still have to defend my settlements when I'm in Far Habor???

“America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.”
NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president.
“America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.”
He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

Charlie Kirk once said that Texas would never turn blue in his lifetime. And what do you know, he was right.
I met a guy in law school who previously trained as a clerk in the civil service. So one day he sits in the immigration office twiddling his thumbs when a desperate old lady comes in crying that her husband is missing. He tells her to calm herself and tell him what happened /
Finding out that the reason Korean women appear to marry Vietnamese men at such high rates is because of stories like this… Basically, many are Vietnamese women who acquired South Korean citizenship through their first marriages to Korean men, only to later divorce and remarry their Vietnamese boyfriends 😭
