This comes of as a 20th century manifesto. Just replace "neurodivergent" with "aryan" and "neurotypical" with "jew" and it even sounds like one.

Matriarchies, as in women dominating a society in an exclusionary manner, has never existed. There have been matrilineal societies, which makes sense in nomadic tribes. Mothers always know who their children are, but it's less clear for fathers. There's in general more of a communal approach to raising children and there's no inheritance, so there's no incentive patrilineality to the same degree as post-agricultural revolution societies. It goes hand in hand with the theory that humans are adapted for gang bangs, with how much longer it takes for women to orgasm and how loud they can moan during sex (mating call) as well as how penises are plunger shaped (removing competing sperm). Gangbangs would introduce greater reproductive fitness into mating.

If your on Steam you only get 2 hours to change your mind, which isn't nearly enough for big AAA games in my opinion.

Ooh, I've been burned by doing that before. My standards are too high to pay full price for something I'm not sure about.

I've been to California many times.

AI hype is very convenient when it comes to hypewashing real economic downturns. AI investments itself are being used to hedge against a recession and is single-handedly propping up the US economy in pure investment dollars. It's probably why Trump wants to bail out AI companies when they do inevitably crash, to avoid associating his name with bad times.

Barefoot shoes are bad because hipsters wear them, and hipsters are bad. I feel sorry for anyone who feels that they need to leave little footprints that have little toes like they are actually barefeet. It's not funny and you look weird.

I think it has more do to strength specifically. I jerk off with my feet, so technique is in no short supply. Your feet and ankles have to work harder when there's no cushioning. It absolutely matters when 95% of your environment is hard surfaces.

Barefoot shoes are very pleasurable in nature with a bunch of soft grounds, but just feel harsh on roads and pavements. For general use for me, just the shoe being sufficiently lightweight makes them good enough if they are also aesthetic.

That is mostly haredi, AKA ultra orthodox jews, but it is much easier to have less children than more. It's a better problem to have than what S. Korea is dealing with because it is easier to solve. 1 in 4 is also a relative improvement because it used to be 1 in 3 just since covid. But that is besides the point, because your sidestepping the substance of my argument entirely to make a feminist culture war statement. I never said that the solution is more patriarchy.

The birthrate cannot be reversed because the general public are too depoliticized too give a shit and unwilling to change. They feel no sense of duty for their state and are not willing to make acts of love for others in a way that impedes with independence. People are too independent, too broken off from any sense of community. It's like the housing crisis. Everybody cries about unaffordable living but god forbid the value of your property depreciating. I wouldn't be surprised if politicians understand that policy that would effectively tackle the birthrate would be too unpopular and untenable with current culture.

Mathriarchy has never existed (as in women having a dominating role) because the military defines the borders of a civilization and women aren't suited to make up the bulk of an army (men are physically stronger and more expendable relative to the reproductive fitness of a group). Patriarchy originally rose up to protect women and society from other men in my opinion.

Looks like cinematic trash

You are still negotiating within a neoliberal framework, calling it a "job", etc. There's no consideration for culture or a sense of duty to one's state. Israelis are pumping out babies not just because they have generous benefits. My argument is that just throwing money at the problem is that it is both inefficient relative to the ballooning cost that it would entail and not radical enough a solution in of itself. Be careful with thinking that welfare alone is a sufficient solution to societal problems. The nordics spend the most money on education in the world yet their students achieve subpar results globally. Strategy must include consideration for culture.

A lot of countries offer generous benefits, especially western Europe. At best these policies stabilize the birthrate. The benefits are marginal relative to how expensive it is. Money alone doesn't resolve the underlying issue why people don't have kids. Money isn't the only resource. Money is at worst compensating for an environment that disinzentivises having children. Israel however has a booming birth rate because of their religiosity, nationalism and communal cohesion on top of generous benefits. Beautiful blue.
