Signing off on the suicide pact
So what? Let it happen. Too many people anyway. Let societies collapse.
Good there's way too many fricking people The earth was fine a little while ago when there were only like 4 billion of us let's get back to that
Nor should it. The world has too many people, as evidenced by how quickly we are wasting our resources, polluting the world, and killing off every other living creature.
lol. Enough babies for what? To maintain the capitalist approach to life? Awwww... whatever will we do?
Isn't this a good thing? Because of sustainability, climate changes, resources?
Don't worry, AI/robotics will save us
Robotics, automation and AI will solve this. Please stop this BS about low birth rates when we have an over populated world filled with pauper people willing to work for a bowl of rice. The only ones that benefit from having more people are the rich that can keep exploring workers.
Well it's a good thing the robotics/AI revolution is upon us. This isn't really an issue and this article is no better than fear propaganda.
The future belongs to those who show up. Support Catholic Christian Nationalism

Here's a list of 100% true facts* from a lot of different areas etc that make certain r*dditors very angry. Feel free to use to bait r-slurs π€π€π€ i probably forgot a bunch so I might update this list but idk
Violent video games increase aggression and desensitization, and decrease empathy.
Vegetables are healthy.
Red meat is unhealthy.
There are reasonable concerns about adverse health effects from MSG.
There's no evidence that seasoning a cast iron pan creates a layer of polymerized oils.
"Hydrogen oxide" is just as correct as "dihydrogen monoxide".
Eating meat is immoral.
Moral relativism is false.
Non physical experiments (like models and computer simulations) produce the same kind of evidence as physical experiments.
/r/nihilism's stickied explanation of nihilism does not explain nihilism correctly.
Anki spacing algorithms are not the most efficient algorithms for longterm retention.
Word cards lead to implicit word knowledge.
Gender is a social construct.
Clathrin mediated endocytosis does not significantly contribute to synaptic vesicle recycling under physiological conditions.
Sam Harris is neither a neuroscientist, nor a philosopher.
All the popscientific debunkings of the Kalam cosmological argument fail.
Jesus existed as a historical figure.
Wage increases only very rarely don't at least match inflation.
The wage gap exists.
IQ differences between races for the most part aren't genetic.
Youtube pianist Traum's videos are heavily manipulated.
Incest is not immoral.
* 100% true fact in this case means there's a robust consensus among the relevant experts. This works less well with r*ghtoids since they will just call the entire field libtard propaganda brainwashing or whatever.
Edit: added incest

Just a daily reminder that social media isn't real, and even the most picture perfect couples aren't thriving like you may thinkβ¦
I kinda want to get this off my chest, but I have a beautiful mutual friend, she's absolutely stunning, and has the most perfect blissful smile I ever seen. Not only is she just beautiful, but so is her personality, but just a sweet utterly lit lantern in a night sky type of soul.
Mutual friend has a boyfriend, and boyfriend (ick, in my opinion) has βTik Tok Cloutβ. Boyfriend letβs call him Jason, tends to have a decent following on Tik Tok, about over 200,000. Cause of it, Jason gets a lot of validation from girls online, young or old, it's in between. That validation is never enough for him, because he still obsesses over himself, and thinks he's a movie star, when in reality (tbh, I don't understand the appeal) is anything far from charming.
Now Jason likes to hold up an image, his Instagram has not only photos admiring himself, but obviously some with his stunning girlfriend. These are the most happy, lovey dovey couple photos you'd ever lay your eyes on. You got the vacation pics, you got the cheesy adoration cuddling partner videos, big smiles, literally you'd think they're the βperfectβ couple, romance isn't dead life breathers. Comments of her saying βI love youβ in the post replies.
The reality? β¦.
Jason is your typical jerk, and cheats on her repeatedly, and even his girl best friend he grew up with (prior her)β¦ He cheated on, was abusive and downright cruel. And he's far too old for his stunning girlfriend, who he met at 17, she's about 20 now, he's ~25.
You'd never know this, though, unless you knew Jason, cause men talk closely to one another and reveal their cruel intentions amongst each other.
What you see on social media, is almost never real, despite what people try to convince you. Sometimes we compare ourselves, but donβt ever do so, it's an illusion.

Disney Detonates Four Bombs In Deadline's 2023 Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament
Everyone likes a trend in the movie business, but this one perhaps not so much. Disney for the first time in Deadline's Most Valuable Blockbuster Tournament history dominates the annual bombs section, claiming four of the five (top? bottom?) spots on our 2023 list. Typically, the studio owns a majority of the year's top 10 most profitable films thanks to Marvel movies, but not this year. A lot of this stems from feeding the beast of streaming service Disney+; the studio's initial plan during Covid was to shell out $14 billion-$16 billion annually on content by this year. With Bob Iger taking the CEO reins from Bob Chapek, he's trying to right the ship with a less-is-more strategy, zeroing in on quality so that the No. 1 motion picture studio can come back to form.
Some of you might ask: Where is Apple Original Films on this list? Wouldn't Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon rank? Several film-finance sources tell us that Apple movies and Disney movies shouldn't go in the same bucket. The former is a tech company, of which content is a fraction of their revenues. Essentially, any prestige losses made by Apple on movies are seen as advertising expenses to drive eyeballs to its OTT service. Meanwhile, content is king for Disney and drives all other ancillaries, extending to theme parks and cruise ships. Quite often we get the phone call from the studio saying, βYou're not taking into account other merchandise and theme park revenues on these films.β Make no mistake: Films that fall down at the box office don't have afterlives.
The Marvels
Disney/Marvel
Net Loss: -$237M
When Marvel fanboys and fangirls smell it's going to be good, they crowd the theater. But when it's a dud, they stay away. One would think a sequel to a $1.1 billion-grossing female superhero movie would be logical, and asked for. However, The Marvelsβ predecessor, Captain Marvel, benefited at the box office from being a bridge between the Avengers finales Infinity War and Endgame. Yes, the actors strike did pour a lot of cold water on promoting this film, with the thespian standoff ending just days before this sequel's opening November 10, and star Brie Larson rushing around to late-night shows to tubthump the pic. But there was more. The movie was trying to thread storylines from Disney+ shows like Ms. Marvel, which was part of a grand master plan by Marvel to connect the series with the movies. That strategy showed its holes here as Ms. Marvel wasn't embraced in a big way by MCU fans ala series like Loki and WandaVision were. Lastly, Marvel has prided itself on hiring indie directors, plugging them into their system and turning them into blockbuster filmmakers (e.g., Jon Watts, Taika Waititi). It's a recipe that doesn't always work, evident in this movie (directed by Nia DaCosta) and Marvel's The Eternals from Nomadland Oscar winner ChloΓ© Zhao. The MCU in its zenith wins over both critics and audiences, and that didn't happen here, with a 62% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and B CinemaScore.
The Flash
Warner Bros/DC Studios
Net Loss: -$155M
Released well before the actors strike, it doesn't help when your leading star is making lots of tabloid headlines, the person here being Ezra Miller. Miller was kept at bay in regards to promoting the DC movie, and the pic's stars, which included Michael Keaton returning as Batman, were either available in limited doses or shied away from doing press (no one wanted to field questions about Miller). Still, props to the new Warner Bros administration of Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, as well as DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran. Although they inherited this movie, they believed in it and propped it all they could as the ultimate DC time-warp movie with cameos from previous superheroes. They even previewed the film early for exhibitors at CinemaCon. Unfortunately, masses didn't buy the Spider-Man: No Way Home-like stunt here.
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Disney
Net Loss: -$143M
Harrison Ford reportedly loved the script of this finale, which is why it got made. However, Steven Spielberg passed on directing, handing the reins to James Mangold β a smart choice and able filmmaker given his history with Logan and Ford v. Ferrari. However, something went amiss. In the hands of Disney, the formerly Paramount-distributed Lucasfilm franchise sequel had too many cooks in the kitchen. There were reports of several editors trying to fix the film at the last minute, not to mention there was no attempt to cast-up this older, male-skewing movie ala Top Gun: Maverick with stars that could appeal to the under-40 crowd, which would have expanded the audience. Also a factor: Indiana Jones is always in competition with himself. Despite 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull being the highest-grossing movie in the series with more than $786M worldwide, many weren't fans with its B CinemaScore and opted to stay away this time around. This was especially so after the sour word of mouth and reviews that came out of Dial of Destinyβs Cannes world premiere, a promotional maneuver that largely dialed back the commercial prospects of Dial of Destiny.
Wish
Disney
Net Loss: -$131M
Disney always needs to plant an animated family film in the Thanksgiving corridor; the only problem is that the studio hasn't seen glory since before Covid with Frozen 2. Wish followed the 2022 bomb Strange World. While original animation is always an uphill battle to launch at the box office, audiences have seen this plug-and-play princess and silly sidekicks (in this case a talking goat and puffy star) movie before, and waited this one out for Disney+ (another potential catalyst for dwindling Disney moviegoing). Audiences and critics smelled that the movie reeked of corporate product rather than magical event. Essentially, a studio is in trouble when its movie's narrative is more about a celebration of the company's birthday than a riveting piece of content.
Haunted Mansion
Disney
Net Loss: -$117M
This movie, which opened July 28, was the first big casualty of the strike with its cast unable to show up at the pic's Disneyland premiere, which the studio billed as a fan event. Above all, Haunted Mansion burned down because of its release date, opening in the wake of Barbie and ahead of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, thus losing out on the younger-skewing audience it wanted. At the end of the day, the 2003 Eddie Murphy version, unadjusted for inflation, made more money with its domestic take of $75.8M and global of $182.2M.
