Divinity: Original Sin 1. took about eighty odd hours to get to the door that says sorry mate, not enough magic stones

i thought you were playing along with the joke but you really were going “you’re dumb actually and stupid” like you believed it

fair enough. i picked those out as sort of ‘mainstream’ countries that this kind of article doesn’t get published about, while i’ve seen them about japan a few times now. be interesting to contrast immigration rates to countries with similarly difficult language and cultural barriers but that’s a bigger job i haven’t the time for now

to this article’s credit it does end with a couple of paragraphs on the korean government attempts to support “work-family balance, childcare and housing”

this story comes out every so often about japan, rarely if ever mentions (slightly) lower births per woman in italy, china, spain, or the same 1.3 as e.g. poland, finland, canada

those are 2022 figures but i doubt there’s been significant change

there’s basically no first world country above the 2.1 replacement rate

reasonable point but firefox is hardly better off if you look at only desktop share

dual-voting (“I downvoted because I don’t like it but I upvoted it because you are absolutely right about it")

This is the most interesting take i have seen on the matter. it’s not a score out of five, why shouldn’t you up and down vote the same post?

you make an objectionable but very interesting point?

you are essentially right but you are belligerent and can’t spell?

upvote and downvote.

SQL when pronounced as sequel. Squall or even squirrel would have been nicer imo
