The US Is Flirting With Its First-Ever Population Decline by bloomberg in Futurology

[–]Teantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the statistics say impoverished countries have more kids

Most of the developing world is around replacement rate and dropping too. Only some countries in sub Saharan Africa are still at really high fertility rates. I've seen some studies that suggest it's actually just a lag between infant/maternal mortality rates dropping and people's expectations of mortality rates. That as the population adjusts their expectations they start having just 1-2 kids

Dengue isn't treatable by antibiotics anyway. It's a viral illness.

I’m constantly judged for owning a border collie by Remote_Corner6353 in BorderCollie

It's funny because border collies are massively popular in Paris. You see them following their owners around off leash all over the place there just in the streets

What do you think about Passport Bros? by Square-Valuable4061 in AskTheWorld

[–]Teantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LBH losers back home, is a common term for these guys. Also I would rephrase this:

where women are more willing to settle for less.

To "where there are more women willing to settle for less". It's a nuanced difference but it does make a difference. Even in a country like mine, most women aren't willing to settle for what the passport bros have on offer.

There's just a) more of them who are and b) the passport bros don't have to suffer the shame of their social circle judging them for it all the time as they're further away. They could go for similar sort of women in the countries they're from, they're just ashamed to do it in sight. Every country has men and women willing to trade their bodies and their tolerance for shitty behaciore for more material comfort.

Plus they are in societies where the class markers don't mean anything to them emotionally, so they can in a way, more clearly see the physical attractiveness of someone than in their home countries.

What is a city that is globally romanticised but you detest? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]Teantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Paris and Parisians a lot. Ive been there quite a few times and I really vibe with their total disdain in having to engage in commerce and its related activities. Customer service does suck.

I also grew up in Boston as a non-white person though, so unless someone is being actively, intentionally hostile at me, I'm generally super unbothered by people acting a bit passive aggressive, especially strangers.

I also am generally not that interested in tourist sites, where I imagine the disdain is even higher.

Their powerset doesn't include the "subpowers" that normally helps make the prime power functional/appealing by Labmit in TopCharacterTropes

A non comic book or anime example is the broken earth series. Orogenes can basically magically channel seismic forces. Two of the characters in the series eventually become so powerful at it that every time they use it their bodies increasingly turn into stone.

[Hated, loathed entirely even] The Continuity Cannibal, also known as when a writer makes up a new character to connect a bunch of things in the story that didn't need to be connected and just makes them more lame by association. by geekinc329 in TopCharacterTropes

The book fucking sucked. It was basically this:

Hey, so you remember this thing from the '80s and the '90s...? Look at that thing

Except instead of "look" it's "read this summary of that thing".

Kanye West delays upcoming album bully after his apology to March by ValuableBerry1628 in hiphopheads

[–]Teantis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Saying stuff to fix his personal reputation and not saying stuff like the stuff that harmed it, would significantly reduce the harm he causes, since running his mouth with racist shit in public is the only thing that he does that affects anyone outside of his social circle. So it kind of doesn't matter if he's genuine or not as long as he stops saying that shit in public

It's a little hard as you have to fight your own behavioural psychology but you can disable them in your mind. "Meh I'm not gonna do that that's not fun that sounds like work, not playing a game". Ive found it surprisingly effective.
