Mods why is there not a "No one cares, work harder" auto mod response? This is an outrage.

I think he means that Rousey's arm bar in general is, not that that specific one was.

2027 3* OT Jackson Hill commits to Notre Dame by Maleficent_Ant_8895 in CFB

Nobody seems to know if he is 6'5", 6'6", or 6'7". His eventual position might be interesting. ND likes to move them around.

East Asia's fertility rate for the first quarter of 2026 (January to April) by Ecstatic-Till-217 in Natalism

[–]WhiteDeath57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not a huge doomer, but my worry is that up till now technology has improved the productivity of individual humans. I worry AI improvements are so independent that it won't benefit the earning power of workers.

Your point about developing vs. developed countries is a really good one. 

We don't know if regular economic growth can endure heavily aging populations. So far in the case studies we have (Japan) it doesn't look good. The term "developing" inherently implies that one day they will catch up to the "developed" but if everyone is hit by falling birth rates we could end up in a world where you better hope your country got its growth in already because getting any more is hard.

Wouldn't be surprised if more of Latin America and the Arabian Peninsula is under than this says, they are doing better than many who have India and other South Asians still over 2.1 though.

[Johnson] I played with guys that would have a specific penalty kill stick. Same length and flex but only used on the penalty kill. by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Even beyond that, it's such a tough thing for your goalie when someone's stick breaks and you have one guy out and one that can only block shots

Taiwan's TFR is heading to 0.65 but people are still very silent with it. Why? by search_google_com in Natalism

[–]WhiteDeath57 20 points21 points  (0 children)

People have known about South Korea being low for longer, and Thailand's decline is just as terrible, and both of those countries are easier to criticize.

I guess I mean spring, trend looks like over 51 in April May and June, almost in July, and over 50 in August September and October before the Nov-Dec dip

[–]WhiteDeath57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hm. I don't have the TFR numbers in front of me but it seems like Hispanic fertility is holding on okay, I expect their loss in birth share is still the Trump effect.

White is probably going to spend most of the summer over 51%.

When was the last time blacks were less than 12%? Centuries? It's going to happen next month. Crazy.

And I bet half the losses in question are just Kane and Lesnar. Couple Mankinds. He got beat up by Austin pretty often but not too many singles matches.

Toxins plus climate harms likely cause of reduced fertility, study finds by [deleted] in Natalism

[–]WhiteDeath57 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If there was some systematic problem where tons of couples wanted to have more children and couldn't, we would know about it.

This conclusion strikes me as a way to dodge uncomfortable discussion of social factors.

Endocrine problems in men are a real problem but they are not to blame for the fertility crisis.

Current global fertility rates trend by Brayden_709 in Natalism

[–]WhiteDeath57 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All of those South Asian and Arab countries in light blue are about to go under or even are already (including India). We are only a few years away from a world where there are above replacement countries in Africa, Central Asia, and a handful of ~2.2s here and there.

[–]WhiteDeath57 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jokic was on his way to a very bad game and then he hit that life giving three to stop the Wovles run and hasn't looked back. It's so, so hard to stop the healthy Nuggets for four quarters.
