does the divorce rate of heterosexual couples go up after having children?

I believe so - I've seen that cited as an explanation for why conservative areas in the US have higher divorce rates than progressive areas.

I imagine that's why more women than men get infected - a woman infects a single man, then that man infects a dozen women.

In the West it's mostly gays spreading HIV among themselves, but in sub-Saharan Africa, where the majority of the world's infections occur, it's mostly women and girls.

Okay, so why don't we just exterminate every Japanese after WW2?

Because Japan offered their unconditional surrender. Until that point the United States was planning to invade Japan, with both sides expecting half the Japanese population to be wiped out by combat and starvation.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who legitimately believes he killed himself.

I think it's plausible, if he believed he wasn't going to get the same kid gloves treatment as last time. It's not even incompatible with him being silenced - the most plausibly deniable way of killing a prisoner would be to convince him that you're going to throw him to the wolves so that suicide looks like the easy way out.

I doubt it because of the timeframe. If it was finished in 2016 it would have been out the door before the TV show keeled over and died - at the latest, it would be in stores waiting to be released alongside the finale if you wanted to make a big gimmick out of avoiding spoilers.

While I don't know that it would fix the problem, I have my ideas for how I'd mitigate it.

One area of attack is no-fault divorce and abortion. You can keep your morning after pill, but surgical abortion on a healthy child in a healthy mother should not exist unless the guy who had her locked up in his basement is hanging from a tree outside. Anything less than that and you have to live with your mistake instead of letting your child die for it.

But it is about "hating women." He's observing the problem that literal rape cultures are self-sufficient, and we aren't. The challenge is how to get women to be mothers again without prostrating yourself before the pedophile prophet or taking up bride kidnapping.

You leave the kid at home. Even if it's not ideal, by nine years old you should be able to train her not to do anything stupid before you get back from work.

Hospitality is also where people want to go, almost by definition. Unless it's some motel that only exists as a rest stop between here and there, they're going to have people they can hire.

I could tolerate the existence of Windows 11 if it was a side project. Because there's no way I'm letting that piece of shit on any computer I own.

If she wasn't a woman, do you think Russia would cover for her? I don't - they would have outed her as a man, sent her to a male prison, etc.

I would not condemn the new Dune in its entirety. It did do some things well, even if those things don't make up for the errors of judgement.

This isn't the first time. Another Canadian drug dealer was set to be executed in China, and the Canadian media was pretending that was a tragedy too.

I haven't read the specific demands, but that sounds like a bridge too far. Single player games should have that rule, but there are plenty of multiplayer games where the server is necessarily playing an important role and for the vast majority of your customers the opportunity to keep playing if you buy a new computer to host your MMO isn't a meaningful benefit.

No idea about the first question, but this is about a different senator who was apparently further down his list.

I'd say "crazy, but not fake." Going from state governor to federal senator would be a demotion, but that doesn't mean Boelter didn't believe it.

In a sensible country the person who proposed this would be tarred and feathered.

Traitors against whom? The current Iranian regime are not and have never been our friends; anything more favourable than thinking they're more trouble than they're worth to kill is stupid.

It's socialist policies that allow criminality to fester instead of cleaning house. If the government is locking up criminals so they don't reoffend instead of letting the criminals run amok and prosecuting anyone who defends themselves, policy overrules demographics.

People in that thread are being retarded. The institute is shutting down because they got defunded and instead of selling people's personal information to the highest bidder like most organisations seem to do in their position, they're destroying it. They are not the enemy and they do not deserve blowhards saying that they should be killed or tortured.

I could make a lot of guesses. Democrats are more likely to be neurotic doomsday cultists who think fascism or climate change will ruin America for their children, Democrat counties are more likely to be crime-ridden cities with high costs of living, Democrats are of course more willing to kill their children or castrate their children or themselves. Republican counties apparently have higher divorce rates, but even that is in part because people in red states marry and have kids earlier in life.

You open the door because you thought you lived in a high trust society. If I had been the target, my front door would already be open by the time I got a good look at the shooter and realised my mistake - if I see flashing emergency lights out the window and hear the doorbell, I'm thinking "police" and not "assassin."

It's possible the fliers were part of his escape plan - he might have been planning to disappear into a crowd of anti-cop protesters.
