See you think that when the immigration floodgates open that we get the same crowd that comes here normally through the legal process just more of them, but it's not. The people doing it the legal way are willing to put in the hard work. People who just walk here demanding benefits, not so much. When the borders are open you get all the people who have no money, no education, and no employability. Just look at the stats. Some of these people are wanted criminals in their own country so coming here and getting free stuff was a no brainer. Bigot, bigot, bigot... Blah, blah, blah. I suppose I could explain why calling an entire group bigots has fitting hypocrisy to it, but digesting facts is apparently not your thing.

Easier, friendlier, simpler, and more inviting than KDE, or Gnome? No.

But more familiar, certainly. And that matters at lot when you have people with little or not technical aptitude trying to get their job done so they won't get fired. Most users rely on motor memory, with little to no conscious awareness of what they're doing in terms of interacting with the user interface.

If you worked in tech support, you'd know that.

An AI kiosk won't be able to do that to anywhere near the same degree

What makes you say that? Especially right after all these tech companies lost court cases about making social media as addictive as possible. It might not be able to manipulate your social empathy on the spot, but the overall system, where AI kiosk is just a link in a long pressure sales chain, will absolutely be better at manipulating you.

Unless you have been consenting to everything left and right and now there is a lot of data on your profile, how would it do that without you agreeing to a credit check?

It wouldn't matter. Poor people have far more children than rich people. Making children "affordable" is a red herring.

The real reason people stopped having children is because having children distracts them from their own selfish desires and objectives -- which is incredibly sad, because that's the path to misery. The true path to happiness is to spread love to others, and the most powerful way to do that is to have children, love them, and build a family.

which will be the case for everyone buying straight from the manufacturer, wherever that is permitted.

Only a few manufacturers can, and some states have laws saying you must sell through a dealership.

As for buying through the manufacturer's website, it depends on what you are doing. You can configure a car and see if there is one in stock by you, in which case you can haggle with the dealership over price. If you order a custom build from the manufacturer, they will probably charge you full price, and you'll still have to pick it up from a dealership and have all those fees tacked on.

Deals from the dealership usually come from them trying to offload specific models, trims, or colors that aren't selling well. Sometimes car companies will pay dealerships to get them off of their lots to make room for more profitable or better selling vehicles. You can get some of that cash, but the dealership will try to keep as much of it as they can. If they are offering $500 off, ask for $1000, for example, because they are probably getting $1500 from the manufacturer.

No, normal groups do it via conquest. This whole "suicidal sympathy" nonsense, where parts of elites within your own group intentionally genocide the lower classes through importation of foreign conquerors is a fairly rare phenomenon.

Last documented time it happened was when Roman Empire collapsed.

It's about both. Women are now indoctrinated to "wait until career is solid", i.e. their 30s.

For some ethnic groups, that's the age when they can't have children. For others, it's age where they have severe problems having children.

Biologically, women are primed to start having children in early to mid teens (easiest birth in terms of complications, but low viability of fetus and baby size making it suboptimal). Optimal window is where ease of birth is going down, but still very high up, while viability of fetus and baby size converge on optimal. That's between 16 and 22 (depending on ethnic group). Everything past that is reduction in all three, and the curve's downward trajectory rapidly accelerates when geriatric pregnancy stage starts, ending at zero marker (sterility).

Women are the carriers of culture, meaning they enforce the norms. That's their biological role in our species. So when the norm is "do not have children until you have a solid career, be a boss babe so you can provide best possible life for your children", they prioritize career and shame women who don't. And then when they finally get set in life, they try to have a child.

Find out that they're not getting pregnant. Get to a doctor. Get tested. Find out they're well into geriatric pregnancy range. Get scared, harvest eggs (far too late, you want to harvest eggs when you're in your early 20s at the latest if fertility is your goal, and even then success rate is not great). Do the first round of IVF. Nothing. Second. Nothing. Go to the doctor again, and get reminded that deep into geriatric pregnancy means that even with IVF, chances are low.

Get desperate, depressed, often borderline suicidal. "I've lived my life the way all other women told me I'm supposed to live it, and now I find out that it was all a lie, a weapon they deployed against me to prevent me from having children so theirs don't have to compete with mine?"

That realization is for top 20%. The rest just get depressed and don't understand why reality doesn't bend to their socialization. That's the stereotypical millenial woman in her late 30s and early 40s, doing all the drugs and all the alcohol and all the SSRIs to just drown away her misery, and then complain on tiktok about everything.

But a lot of women can still have that one child with IVF, as long as they start in their thirties, and they're not of african descent.
