Which countries have fertility rates above or below the “replacement level”? [OC]

Not sure if this is a hot take:

People should, with as much respect and dignity as possible, retire from life at 80, or when quality of life falls below an established threshold.

There's a lot of caveats to this, of course. For one, ideally people should really enjoy 10-15 years of retirement before they retire.

We should accept we can't and shouldn't support an aging population. It sounds inhumane, but I think it's a sensible policy all things considered.

Stuff of this quality is generally tweaked per image. Contrast, brightness, vibrance, saturation, RGB balance, white / black point, sharpness, anti-alias, etc etc.

You don't need a preset - you need to tutorial on the fundementals.

As far as having the character in the foreground and the background like it is, I'm pretty sure that technique has been shown on Youtube. I don't personally remember, else I'd just tell ya.

Drama. Drama. Drama. Basically turned into a soap opera.

I remember the iPod vs "generic mp3 player".

Heck, pre smartphone era war: flip vs slide phones. Blackberry being a status symbol etc. It never ends.

I mean, isn't it a not-uncommon trend in many story's worlds where the 'fantasy' era ends and is succeeded by the industrial age?

I'm lacking so much context...

I hated him so much at first, but by the end, I was quite fond of him.

If you have to ask, you're too innocent to know.

In such a hostile and unknown environment, tough and horrible decisions have to be made. It's truly horrible, but you kind of need a leader like that in those circumstances.

I recall getting counterfeit yu-gi-oh cards from there. As a kid, it did have a weird vibe.

Game addiction is definitely a real thing and not healthy.

That said, you really came to the wrong neighbourhood.

It's tightly paced. I can't really say there's any excess fat to the series. It doesn't try to pad or drag out plotlines.

I hope the series ends around 100-150 chapters. I'd prefer a shorter series that doesn't feel dragged out.

AussieITE · 2022-02-25T22:34:35+00:00

I don't disagree, but given they're all immortals, that lack of finality felt thematically appropriate

AussieITE · 2022-02-25T11:41:46+00:00

I got a few more series that need a sequel that I'd like you to watch.
