It's very common for older kids. Either homeschool for most things with some classes(either online, or community college, or...) taken on the side, or a dedicated hybrid program(readily available but often requires a religious test).

Children do not stay children forever, and 18 years is a legal fiction. Kids grow up, and develop, fast. The baby stage is going to be over soon(toddlers and infants are very different). And little kids are different from toddlers- and in turn, older kids are different from little kids.

IIRC American Orthodox Jews have some awareness that their gravy train isn't unlimited and are (slowly)adapting to needing to compete in a modern society.

Whatever things you might have enjoyed in life before them is completely gone, for the rest of your life. Every waking moment of your life outside of work will be completely occupied by taking care of monstrous creatures that make every single bodily function besides breathing as difficult as humanly possible.
? Parents go to parties, they have hobbies, they have lives.

Pink was for boys and blue was for girls as recently as the victorians.

A very consistently popular franchise is Little House on the Prairie, a story about an acceptable-for-the-time romance between a bright fifteen year old girl and a mid twenties man, but it's all good because he knows her dad. Blackface is common and wholesome entertainment, suffragettes are treated as obviously insufferable shrews who only think the things they do because they're too bitchy for any man to want to marry, and indians are viewed as something between horrible savages and pest animals.

While not an intellectually consistent approach, many people are not intellectually consistent. The worldview that 'we should be nice to trans people, but changing your sex isn't really real, so we should humour it for the goodies but not the baddies' doesn't seem terribly uncommon among moderate progressives.

Cristo Rey high school is a special school for at risk youths(that is literally what a 'Cristo Rey Jesuit high school' is. It's a program that swings back and forth between woke nonsense and doing real but limited good through the usual mentorship route), and them reverting to the normal extracurriculars of at risk youths every so often is to be expected. It's not really a 'school shooting' in the sense of 'mentally ill guy with lots of red flags randomly killing people'.

It's Canada. They already have more gun control than they ever thought they were going to.

Social conservatism at the level of 'women go to school but need to treat marriage as more important than career' does seem to mildly boost fertility relative to comparable countries, though- Italy and Japan have low TFR overall, but high for their regions.

In hot climates you try to do outdoor labour in the morning and evening, with a long break in the middle of the day(la siesta). In cold climates you try to work straight through with a short lunchbreak.

My understanding is that he's extremely popular among Latinas of varying classes, but often not the menfolk. We have examples of that in American pop music(Taylor Swift being perhaps the most prominent), so it's not an unusual phenomenon.

They are not 'largely living in their homeland' as an ethnic group, and this isn't uncommon for ethnic groups native to the poorer parts of American territory.

Texas actually has higher support for independence than Puerto Rico, and has for quite some time(since the Obama admin, I believe). And the population difference is mostly due to people moving to Texas and away from Puerto Rico.
In any case Bad Bunny flying the Puerto Rican flag doesn't seem like a problem, although his variety of genuinely foreign flags are.

No they’re not, Puerto Rico has consistently seen crazy-high levels of migration to the mainland.

No? The boomers are dying off so overall numbers are shrinking, though.

When were they culturally relevant?
I mean it might be different if you live in Canada. But I can't remember anyone caring very much about the winter olympics. Summer, yeah.

Snow and Ice aren't omnipresent in winter because people moved south. Houston never had a snowy winter, there's just more people living there now.

I didn't watch the halftime show, and nobody I know paid attention to it. Just countersignaling the idea that there's no seasonality in sugar farming.

But most of those are FtMs who don’t, on average, seem to want to be male as much as they want to be ‘not women’.

Eh, having subtropical/tropical farmers in the family rather recently, theres definitely defined growing seasons and fallow fields. It’s just dictated by rainfall more than temperature. Sugar, rice, sweet potatoes and cotton grow at defined times of year and there’s still a busy and a slow season.
Today twenty year olds are not allowed to date 15 year olds(17 year olds sûre, that happens).
