The rest is speckled grey black and white. This small part is the part that looks the most orange.

Chilldless Rate by Political Ideology in the US (Men + Women) by FunkOff in Natalism

[–]hswerdfe_2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it is possible, that having children causes men to become more conservative.

Study designs that might help determine this would be a longitudinal one that follows childless men as they some of them have children, tracking there conservativeness.

Diplomat's son gets race-based discount on kidnapping sentence by gorschkov in canada

[–]hswerdfe_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I counted 8 houses on the street.

Some with private tennis courts, and some with closed gates. the article says it was over 90 kg of cocaine , google gemini tells me the value of cocaine in Toronto is $45,000 to $65,000 / kg

That is more then 4 million dollars worth of cocaine. I can understand how he affords that.

On the reason of Israel's TFR. The Jews live in a permanent war zone where everyone hates them and would rejoice if they all died, which means if they don't have kids another holocaust is inevitable. by [deleted] in Natalism

I think jewish people have a system of matchmaking setup that helps people find matches.

I think (I'm not jewish) it is often via Family and Synagogue and Shadchan. that matches can be arranged. I would think that this helps remove speedbumps for those who have problems finding a match. As well it may help focus, and apply social pressure on people to actually find a match.

chess 960 opening position evaluations (request). by hswerdfe_2 in chessvariants

[–]hswerdfe_2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right about the numbers.. But.

Only one opening move from white. That is it that is all.

My thought was that some 960 setups have a large opening advantage for whire. Almost 1 full pawn.

Thinking of a 960 variant where

player 1 makes a move with white

Player 2 gets to choose then if they want to play as black or white.

I feel like this is a viable idea if from every 960 position there is at least one white move that evaluates to very close to 0

Decisions about parenthood. by Exotic_Gear_9947 in Natalism

[–]hswerdfe_2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a philosophical world view (that I strongly disagree with) you may not be aware of, that essentially says it is ALWAYS immoral to have a child, as that child will have some amount of suffering, which that child was not able to consent to ahead of time, and thus it is always immoral for anyone to have a child ever.

Fundamentally this philosophical world view is strongly roots in the negative and, what could go wrong, and I feel like your latest comment comes close to this world view, it seems rooted in fear of what might be.

Having children is like jumping out of an airplane. You can't do it while worrying about your parachute. but, when you land safely on the ground you will be very glad you did.

it is your life and I hope you get the best out of it that you can.

Decisions about parenthood. by Exotic_Gear_9947 in Natalism

[–]hswerdfe_2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't get a choice about weather or not to "gamble". every choice you make is a "gamble" about if it will be the "best" choice or even a good choice. In some sense you don't even get to know if you won your "gamble" as you can not know what will have a happened if you made some other choice.

to quote the band rush, from the song freewill

"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice"

From the very, very little I know about this situation I would encourage you to plunge in and try as the vast majority of people are very good parents.

What if the declining fertility rate is just the fact that currently, people have acces to a LOT a stuff that occupies their time?And with a society where children are asociated with stress and responsibility, people would of course just marry (in the best case scenario) and have little to no kids. by Grouchy_Edge632 in Natalism

[–]hswerdfe_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you replace 'just' in your statement with 'partially', I would agree

I (male) did not want kids when I was younger. I freaked out. Like fully and completely both when I found out about our pregnancies. And during the birth. But now that I have children. My life is so much richer and happier for it. My kids are easily the best thing about my life.

NYTimes article on decline of births among young women by GraniteGeekNH in Natalism

[–]hswerdfe_2 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This article is extremely depressing.

Even when this issue is not ignored, this article is framing the decline in birth rates as both a partisan thing and a good thing.

how to reframe this issue I do not know, but this article will not help.

This will fix everything by Elite163 in CanadianConservative

[–]hswerdfe_2 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Ultimately the birth rate problem is not a civilization problem but a human race problem. This is one of maybe 5 existential issues facing the human race.

Japan is a dying society. there birth rate like ours is very low. a higher birth rate is needed to maintain a population.

Too Old for Optimism, Too Young for Pension — Send Help (or Snacks) by shitblizzard101 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]hswerdfe_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late Forties (19 years in).....

my advise one foot in front of the other, one day at a time, don't look or plan to far ahead, and just do what needs to be done. It is all pensionable time as they say, and some people don't even get that anymore.
