So apparently when air quality is this bad you’re not even supposed to commute to work. You’re supposed to seal up your home and stay inside.
No one was going to mention that???
The situation is so much more desperate than you probably realize.
University professors are saying they're now unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. Their students are simply incapable of reading more than a few pages.
Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures.
There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them.
If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. This is civilizational.
Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings:
Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them.
Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history. We must continue to form new minds in this same model if we're going to keep it.

“they are partially blaming the declining birthing rate on womens interest in games over real lite men”
Wow I can’t believe my eyes, blaming women because they rather not reproduce with shitty irl men… and you think misogyny is a joke.
A very funny aspect of this discourse is people bringing up all the shady dark romance aspects of the LIs as they argue about morals because I’m already used to being locked in a cage and murdered and cannibalized in my otome games 😭😭😭
i find it ironic that it was a lot of (not only or all) caleb mains behind this
because now caleb is going to become a nothingburger of a character
hello my childhood friend how are you my childhood friend we are a pair of friends since childhood
no childhood friend we can’t hug
my nonsensical LI wishlist that would peel this fandom's eyelids
• an actual dark romance with gray ehtics"
• an actual older guy (like 40s)
• a chubby guy
• a dark skinned guy
• a woman
• Valko
Are you all dense and fucking stupid? The main story will take even longer now because they have to go back and rewrite the place Valko had in it. You're all so fucking uneducated on how creating a game works holy fucking shit
His VA for all three localizations, the additional people hired to work on him, like those are real people that just lost their job but hooray we can continue to be racist homophobes and complain about all the wrong things!!!! Yay!!!!!!
We’re never having this because a bunch of insane cunts in china thought this character was too tan and western
I hope all future updates for every lead they love will look shit to them in the future
