What's the trade deficit?

Only incompetence could make that happen. And incompetence is something humans do, so who was the incompetent people who made this mistake? Could it be the trump administration?

Save us black panther.

Double "no"! Nevermind false alarm.

First they put African countries in the wrong location, now they start a trade war with wakanda.

This is way more complex to attribute blame to people of specific gender here.

Oh definitely, I'm just stating one of the factors. Anybody who thinks they can fully account for a huge social issue like this with a single simple reason is a politician.

Smart move. Clankers should not be allowed to wear camo.

This is way more complex to attribute blame to people of specific gender here.

Statistically speaking, at least in my country, women are now more likely to get a degree and move to a big city for work. In the big picture it isn’t because of some affirmative action (there’s some of that but it’s blown out of proportion) but simply because women are more likely to be socialised as diligent, agreeable and therefore more compatible with education and more employable in modern white collar jobs. Men are socialised to be somewhat unruly and aggressive (especially those from rural areas) so they stay behind to look after family farms and other businesses which often aren’t very profitable. This combined with little to no contact with women leads to them looking for something to blame for how their life turned out to be, usually ending with misogyny adjacent political ideology.

Current situation is similar to what suffragettes faced back in the day - they had to convince men but also swathes of women that they deserved equal rights. This toxic masculinity isn’t just harmful for women, it costs men a lot too - shorter lifespans, higher incarceration rates, higher suicide rates etc. We’d all be better off with some other masculinity model but it’s so ingrained into capitalism that both reinforce each other.

I wouldn’t absolve women of blame either. Same as every living person regardless of gender, they tend to look for a mate of similar social standing and are unlikely to compromise because there’s little reason to do so. This has strong classist undertones because that’s what it is. Men can compromise on it but for all the wrong reasons so I’m not saying that anything should be reversed here, rather we should rethink how all of this should work for the benefit of everyone. We emancipated women not because someone thought all humans are equal but because capitalism needed more workers and that’s probably where all of this went wrong.

people don’t pair up into couples in the first place.

Misogynistic culture is a contributing factor, combined with more awareness by women of their rights and higher expectations.

heir issue

Nice malapropism :)

Social isolation amplified by antisocial media is definitely a contributing factor in declining birthrates. If the cost of living was the only/primary reason you’d have more childless couples but people don’t pair up into couples in the first place. Good on China for not succumbing to at least some aspects of this madness.

I guess they're trying but I dont think that's the source of heir issue tbh

Unfortunately one of the robots practices mma instead of Tai Chi and as such has been banned from trying to ride public transport or make public appearances.

I've seen pictures of a dog with the same condition that makes it look like a head connected directly to a butt.

I also would've accepted Bennifer

What cruel god made the one ingredient they had that would hinder diarrhea give super diarrhea?

If both sets are identical, any children they have will be like full siblings genetically.

Just shows how stupid criminals can be.

That's some nice karma

Huh, I linked the article but Boost is playing the video in the preview. Normally I get the small image preview on the side.

That's neat, I wonder what's going on there
