fixing their country and culture to encourage reproduction

That would require gutting the Bank of Japan and cutting the leash from Uncle Sam, while also dialing back many laws. State Department would probably go beyond arm-twisting and get the Intel agencies involved if such a figure who could do that rose to power. Y'know, more assassinations and/or disappearances. Abe barely accomplished much for fixing things yet he got axed off anyway.

You are correct. It's technically in "West Africa" where it's completely south of the Sahara Desert

It's long-term variant of the Magic Dirt fallacy. They want the foreigners dumping children so they can claim the offspring are "totes Japanese".

They saw the recent nationalist protests and Rahm griped Kishida's empty sack even tighter. They know the Japanese won't agree so they're not going to slow boil this societal disruption and just try to kill the frog quickly.

I remember a decade ago when the "Internet of Things" concept evolving into its final form, "smart everything" was going to be the new "tech revolution". I'm barely seeing it.

The free will aspect is crucially important and works incredibly well because it allows believers to excuse God and explain away Man's imperfection and ability to be corrupted, even though He supposedly made us. It makes Him infallible in the face of what He's created. (The Garden of Eden story is utterly hokey compared to the rest of the stories in the Bible and falls apart under scrutiny trying to form the "argument from God" the rest of the Old Testament relies on)

That’s why Juneteenth is so close to July 4th

Juneteenth may be near July 4th, but given where it sits in the month of June it really instead disrupts Father's Day without a single ounce of irony.

So isn't that a win?

I got my words jumbled up. It's a win in the sense that Manjuu buckled under pressure from fans/players demonstrating that they can push back against game devs.

It's just displeasing that with all the lolis already in the game and the fact Manjuu got away with the Nagato-class and other BBs as lolis, it took players this long to cause a major stink. Most used to not care about inconsistency among classes, or ripoffs, but a completely different body figure was enough.

Oh I'm not celebrating this victory either. The lolis have their place with certain ship types (submarines and maybe destroyers) but not battleships/dreadnoughts

The following is not undoing woke shit and not censorship of existing characters, however I feel it bears mentioning.

Manjuu (AzurLane devs) got their asses slapped this past week for revealing the final shipgirl (HMS Anson) from a class of battleships (KGV-class) that had already been implemented in the game for several years. A loli that didn't appear related to her sisters at all or fit in with the theme of the class. Seems that the devs were actually serious about this decision and it wasn't a mistake or a pre-April Fool's joke. The reveal got enough pushback that she was removed from the event update prior to it going live today.

These are Chinese/Shanghai devs, but this is evidence that the fanbase screaming across multiple regions does actually work for gacha games at least. Because money is king to those types of games.

Some nameless fools somewhere in the organization thought the idea of selling playable characters at $10 a pop was the best thing since abusing fastpass as a hotel perk.

I believe they looked at Skylanders (after it made the idea of UB Funkeys profitable) and said, "hey we can do that" and shat it out as fast as possible. No different than them making their own MTG/Yugioh clone recently, riding the trends

prevent herself from becoming homeless and having her children

If there's little to no evidence of Crowder being abusive, she deserves to be homeless. You don't walk away from family obligations, unless the husband has been inflicting documented physical harm. Excessive psychological abuse maybe, but that should be proven too. Too many women just walk away because they can't handle a little stress or flee like rats if their husband loses his reputation.

And also I see every woman do this "her children" bullshit. She popped out the babies so the children are supposedly her property. Same logic as the anti-life abortionists. Doesn't matter that she needed a man to inseminate her.

...if their husband is extremely wealthy?

Is Crowder upper-class wealthy or middle-class wealthy? Because there's a difference, and believe me, there are poor fucks who consider middle-class to be wealthy.

Ramadan Bombathon is goin' on still, so may be a possibility.

All that fasting makes the bendovers more likely to go coo-coo

That's what I'm thinking.

Usually around this time of year I hear the phrase "Christ is King" most often, in reference to the Resurrection, so I assume that some people have been saying it already or the idiots are trying to preempt those who will say the phrase.

Could have used quotes around centrists in the title like you did in the comment above here, but that probably would have undermined several other comments under the post

You had a point up until here

I wish the human race could grow up and leave superstition behind.

Good luck scrubbing existential fear out of Man

I figured with some of his ridiculous actions, like signing an anti-BDS bill on foreign land, that DeSantis was going to go galaxy-brian about "proteccing the chillens" at some point.

I understand and clearly see that many parents are abject failures. But letting the state take over in place of parenting is giving the Commies/Socialists the W. DO NOT. Letting them take responsibility over one thing creates leeway for them to try and take our own agency over said thing.

Well, the Talmudic ones literally changed part of their canon to state (I'm paraphrasing here) "nuh-uh, Jesus was wrong and is burning in hell". They see it as antisemitism because you're saying their religion is wrong, which is an affront to their Chosenite beliefs.

Masterbation only partially placates a man, as the emotions from lack of progeny and pair bonding are still present. Receiving sex placates him some more (the Enkidu gambit sort of works but I don't believe it fully does), while achieving his biological imperative of progeny fully placates him until tyranny endangers his own.

They are using the medical industry as a prop. Tyrants fear abstinence in single men because that unreleased sexual energy has to go somewhere and will be harnnessed somehow. It can cause him to turn to criminal action, Or make moves to disrupt and change society. I would say they fear bachelor volcels the most (claiming "incels" are a threat is just a cover) because such men may either acquire resources to which the government believes belongs to them alone and fear it being used against them, or such men geomaxx and the government loses another tax slave for their house of cards.
