Panic swept through a California school after staff spotted what they believed was a mountain lion roaming near campus grounds. The school immediately went into lockdown. Authorities were alerted. Students were secured indoors. Wildlife officials prepared for a possible capture. But when the “wild predator” was finally cornered, everyone burst into laughter. It wasn’t a mountain lion at all, it was a very large, very fluffy house cat.
Yes, that’s right. The terrifying “beast” that sparked a full emergency response turned out to be a chonky feline with a serious attitude and a suspiciously wild look. In fairness to the school staff, the cat’s orange-brown fur, stocky build, and confident prowl did give off big cat energy. But once animal control arrived and got a better look, the case of the mountain lion was quickly closed with a purr.

I am not sure it is just a youth versus age thing. The amount of even clever people, even here, capable of subjecting their own assumptions to the same scrutiny to which they hold others is quite small, and I think some people are ill suited for the cognitive load to handle that anyway

RIP John Osborne. You often lacked shoes growing up in postwar Britain. You went on to help create a whole new genre of music and kicked total ass until the very end. Thank you for everything.

Part of what makes explaining it so difficult is that sometimes it behaves like a #bonkParticle and other times it behaves like a #bonkwave .
Genre scientists still struggle to fit it into a unified theory of #bonk, which is part of what makes it so damn interesting.

I give credit where credit is due regarding the fact that focus on careers creates fewer children (though not explicitly stating it is more a problem with women), as well as pushing against the idea that "we should have policies like the Scandinavian countries" as a solution to birth rate issues when those countries are also below replacement rates.
No solutions beyond "changing the culture," but we all know why that is the case.

Having higher birth rates is not a good thing in and of itself
We would ideally only want to raise the birth rates of women who do not reice welfare from the government and lower the birth rates of women who receive welfare from the government

@DBG3D again what exactly are you suggesting here, stop all technological progress or what exactly?
It's also pretty clear that China is putting these advances towards civilian use. Perhaps being a European it's hard for you to imagine that a nation can develop peacefully. Certainly not something Europe has ever been capable of doing. So I can see why you'd be projecting here being a product of western civilization.
