I am technically- or was a few years ago- eligible for dutch citizenship through my grandfather. I don't consider it worth the paperwork after looking into it, but it's qualitatively different from the Israeli law of return- because it wouldn't apply to hypothetically pure-dutch descendants living in some village in new york that they founded in the 17th century before it was sold to the British. Only to those who are descended from historically recent-enough immigrants from Holland that they would technically be covered under Dutch nationality law.

I looked into ancestry-based return because I'm technically eligible for a dutch passport, it's not an ethnic thing- it's about technically having citizenship via jus sanguinis to begin with.
I don't want a dutch passport badly enough to jump through the hoops it would take to claim it.

Make her mom friends, give her the commitment she craves, her 'maybe' which isn't a no will turn into a yes. Isn't this the girl that doesn't want to use birth control? Sometimes in unprotected sex these things just happen.

The common argument among Clancy supporters is 'Astrology says her husband did it'.
The fact that she was crazy seems well established; her mental health issues predate the murders. I have no difficulty believing that 11/12 jurors held that was enough to rule that she was not guilty for reason of insanity.

America still has high birthrates by developed world standards. And 'developed world standards' means GDP/capita of over $5000/yr, not 'the US+EU' or 'highest in the anglosphere'. The US has higher birthrates than Mexico. It has higher birthrates than Russia or China or Brazil.

People are more reticent to be matchmakers now too.

It's true that married couples have higher household incomes, and this appears to be at least partly causative. But how is the money supposed to get to the dating app?

In my dating days there were plenty of women that would go in for a sidehug, at least. Maybe this guy has reasons for his lack of success other than shyness?

Republicans are likely to lose the Texas senate race(not other races) because the Republican nominee is Ken Paxton and not due to Zionism.

No, 11 of twelve jurors voted that she was too crazy to go to a women’s medical prison, and should instead be held in the state’s long term women’s mental hospital against her will. There is likely no actual difference between the two facilities, and it seems worth noting that everyone agrees she is actually crazy.

Four year university is the only facilitated dating scene left, everyone goes to the parties.

‘The US government workforce’
I suspect those employed by governments at all levels have a gender ratio determined by whether there’s more teachers or cops.

Interestingly, there are secular normie exceptions to the declining marriage rate- basically all of them are towns where some external economic shock(commonly oil) raises young male wages by a factor of a million without affecting female wages very much.

Ah, but due to agricultural population densities most humans who have ever lived were peasant farmers, and we know that early agrarians experienced strong selection effects(on nutritional requirements, skin colour, cognition, and many other things) already.

The shotgun marriage rate was higher but thé illegitimacy rate was lower- to some extent this is tighter norms, not norm-loosening without toleration. Of course thé economic differences are probably bigger.
The actual example of very high population growth with ultra conservative norms is probably French-Canadians, American colonial norms weren’t that different from the old country.

I know a couple who met on a dating app which then failed almost immediately because it’s customers were all getting in serious relationships and canceling their subscriptions.
A new economic model is necessary, because dating apps are designed to not work- because otherwise they’ll go under.

I invite anybody who can make it interesting to restart it.

Right, but ideological musings, political views, etc, belong in CWR threads. Post a manifesto or restart the user viewpoint focus series to do that. I was specifically asking about interest in AMA as relating to uncommon personal experiences.
I've been toying with trying to start a motteizean AMA series focused on unusual experiences, whether culture war related or not(but not of an ideological slant- eg 'I worked in a gun store, here's what I learned' rather than 'I believe X about gun control, here's why'- obviously both will touch on the culture war at least a little bit, but one belongs in the CWR and the other is arguably a different thing). I guess this is as good a place as any to ask for feedback/interest.
Edit- anyone have experiences they’d like to volunteer for AMA? Preferably not AI thread number 700.

The real question would then be 'does this process play out before netanyahu dies of natural causes?' It's kinda obvious he isn't going anywhere.

Musk isn't personally anti-semitic or racist, he's just on a lot of drugs and mad at the political left.
Wilkes and Dunn are actual white supremacists, albeit moderate ones. I know this through my connections within the Texas republican party, both pro-Wilkes-and-Dunn and anti, too, this isn't some libbed out conspiracy theory about nonexistent racism.

Are you seriously disputing that the largest Jewish parties are Jewish supremacists?
The Arabs had exceptionally high turnout because they want the government to actually bother to police Arab-majority areas(which are gang-controlled shitholes with frightening crime rates, because the police ignore them). This is not due to Israelis just loving Arabs too much to bother enforcing the law on them, American leftists on blacks style- see the behavior of the IDF literally anywhere.

For Haredim specifically, that mandatory stupid haircut/beard combo they all have probably looks awful on someone who can't quite grow a beard yet.
When I said 'make her mom friends' I didn't mean make friends with her mother, to be clear. I meant 'make sure she has friends who are moms'.
