Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Russia has moved to classify key demographic statistics following a dramatic collapse in its birth rate, which has plunged to levels not seen since the late 18th or early 19th century, according to a leading Russian demographer.

For decades, Russia has been experiencing a plunging birth rate and population decline, which appears to have worsened amid its ongoing invasion of Ukraine—with high casualty rates and men fleeing the country to avoid being conscripted to fight.

Projections estimate that Russia's population will fall to about 132 million in the next two decades. The United Nations has predicted that in a worst-case scenario, by the start of the next century, Russia's population could almost halve to 83 million.

It used to be if a nuclear bomb went off, all planes would be grounded. Now, they're going to use small yield nuclear weapons, but we know about the escalation ladder, so regardless if it's a tiny nuke, it's a nuke. Things just start or continue to escalate while plane companies are now getting nuke insurance because they're still going to fly planes as the nukes are shooting. I don't know if you got a... Entopic... pregnancy... like the pregnancy that gets stuck in your... phleopian tube... or something... if you could actually just go to a doctor and have that dealt with... you know, because... the pregnancy is not viable... and it's most likely gonna kill you. I mean if I was a gal I'd say hell no. And honestly if I was educated and I had money I'd be out of here. If you Google mass shootings the violence project, you'll see that a lot of the mass shooters, their motivations were economic issues. And that kind of explains a lot of this right wing violence being done by 20-something-year-olds. Young, dumb and full of cum, and also barefoot and pregnant. There's also, I guess, studies that say that younger women are dating older men because they're more mature, but I really think it's just because their wallets are more mature and who could really blame the women? These kids live in these horrible situations with nothing to live for working at Mickey D's as ungrateful boomers come in and scream at them because their fries are cold. We're just going back in time as the boomers just fucking gaslight us, as they lived in the most economically prosperous time, you know? Hedonistic, arrogant, middle manager, PhD, magical thinking ladder pulling pigglet whatever the fuck's. Always telling you're overreacting. But just wait, once we get there, we'll get to that point. Were it eventually will click, and you'll see a fear in their eye, and possibly a tear. Zippty doo dah zippy ehh my oh my what a wonderful day.
