if the total fertility rate drops and stays below global replacement rate, will humans disappear?
  • Blaming this on "laziness" is a really naive and unfair take on why rich nations have less kids. The more likely reasons, and more commonly accepted reasons are:

    • better career opportunities for women

    • better education

    • costs of children

    • challenges with child care

    • easier access to contraceptives

  • The moviegoer experience these days
  • Nothing makes them special. The picture quality is worse than my setup at home (I have a 65" HDR OLED TV.) You're sitting with like 100 people in a large room, half of whom are caughing nonstop and probably have covid. The food is disgusting and overpriced. The price of tickets are ridiculous now. The audio is WAY too loud. Like seriously, way too fucking loud. I had to cover my ears during the previews last time I went. Pretty sure the volume was legit hearing damage level. I see no good reason to go to a theater ever. They're trash.

    The only benefit the theater has over my living room (5.1 setup) is the dolby atmos or whatever setup. But you can't even appreciate it because they blast the volume at ear drum shattering levels.

  • The moviegoer experience these days
  • I have a 65" oled tv. Pretty sure my tv has better picture quality than the movie theater. I'd much rather prefer to watch at home and not have to sit near 100 people coughing, thank you very much.

    Also the quality of food at the dine-in theaters is disgusting. I ordered a chicken sandwich from my local theater earlier this year (went to see dune 2) and immediately felt nauseous and had to shit.

  • Windows 11
  • Windows 11 is literally the same fucking thing as win10, but with improvements (especially HDR.) At this point there is absolutely zero reason to stay on win10. People who say otherwise are just idiots.

  • Outer wilds: at what point should I give up?
  • I'm kind of in the same boat. I played this game expecting it to be the best game ever made, based on what people said. I played about 2 hours. The flying controls were annoying as absolute fuck, and I was just kinda bored. Maybe I need to give it another shot? Is it not for me?

  • Chronic pain mood
  • Yea, no. It's a shitty painkiller rofl. It's more of an indirect effect. For me at least, it releases muscle tension and that extra relaxation is often enough to decrease the pain. But it can also work against you in that if you're anxious about the pain, it can amplify it and make it worse. So it really depends on the situation and the individual. Medical marijuana as an industry is kind of a fucking joke though. People shill it as curing cancer and straight make up bullshit.

  • Chronic pain mood
  • Absolutely agree. I find that marijuana helps. It's not actually a good painkiller per se. Like at all. But when you're more relaxed and chillin, it makes it a bit easier to live with the pain. Not for everyone though, but beats the risk of opiate addiction.

  • Why is my Twitter feed full of right-wing content when I don't consume political content?
  • I think they're just trying to get the conservative off their ass, just like every fucking company that is cancelling DEI programs and scaling back community LGBTQ activities. When boycotts and bad PR actually impact the bottom line is when you see this. It happens both ways. Companies don't care about any of this. They only care about the bottom line. They'll pander to whoever has the most financial impact on the business.

    I like this Instance

    I just wanted to say that I like this instance. It feels calm, cool, and collected. There is no BS happening here. From what I can see, no one has defederated from us and we have not defederated from anyone else. The rules for the Instance look reasonable. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for keeping it nice here :-).

    Anime @eviltoast.org FeelzGoodMan420 @eviltoast.org

    Looking for anime similar to 'Welcome to the N.H.K'

    I watched 'Welcome to the N.H.K' about 7 years ago and I just unfortunately have not been able to find any slice of life anime shows that live up to it. Do you guys know of any?
