The decline of men approaching women functions like a political shock even when nobody frames it that way.It reshapes family formation. Fewer approaches mean fewer relationships, later marriages, lower birth rates, and accelerating demographic decline. That feeds directly into labor shortages, pension stress, immigration politics, and generational conflict. Governments can pass incentives but they cannot legislate attraction or courage.Second, it polarizes gender politics. Many women interpret non-approach as disinterest or resentment while many men experience it as rational risk avoidance shaped by social sanction, economic precarity, and fear of misreading norms. Each side builds narratives about the other and political movements harvest those grievances.Third, it weakens informal social trust. Approaching a stranger used to be a low-level civic act that trained people to tolerate rejection, ambiguity, and difference. When that disappears, people retreat into apps, algorithms, and identity-filtered spaces which harden group boundaries and reduce empathy.Fourth, it shifts power to platforms and institutions. Dating apps, HR departments, and legal frameworks mediate intimacy that used to be negotiated face to face. That concentrates cultural authority in systems optimized for liability management and profit, not human bonding.Finally, it produces downstream radicalization. Large populations of unattached men historically correlate with instability, withdrawal, or extremist politics. Most do not become violent but many disengage from civic life, work, and optimism itself which is politically corrosive.
What's the point of repeatedly spamming this?

i noticed, today, that there are currently 363 x86 syscalls listed in musl libc: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/arch/x86_64/bits/syscall.h.ini thought that this would make for a really good "syscall of the day" discussion (nevermind the fact that it's already the 9th)for today, in order to catch us up, as well as maybe foster a bit more discussion and interest, we'll actually start with 7 syscalls. these are: #define __NR_read 0#define __NR_write 1#define __NR_open 2#define __NR_close 3#define __NR_stat 4#define __NR_fstat 5#define __NR_lstat 6luckily for us, these are all pretty similar, so it really works out quite nicely. these are your classic, day one syscalls that pretty much every programmer ought to know about, even if they don't care to delve too deeply into the internals of the system.ITT, feel free to discuss these syscalls, syscalls in general, file io, and other related topicsComment too long.

Can a Laptop kill a charger?I got the Ugreen 45W charger for my laptop. After about a week, and some time put in my bag, the thing dies.Amazon replaces after some faff.2 days, replacement is dead with exact same fault. It just starts going this intermittent charging thing where it's on and then off. It's not the cable or the devices. Any ideas what it actually is then? Driving me mad

>>107817635I'm at work, I'll post one when I'm at home and the thread is still up. I used joycaption, with the training caption option. The effect is not pronounced to the point where you can say the anatomy is broken, hands have 5 fingers and joints aren't twisted, but it's noticeable that the physique and proportions are not as well reproduced as the likeness, sometimes head seems either a bit too big or to small as well. Or could the lora just be undercooked or burnt, leading to this effect? Apart fro mnthat they follow the prompt well, with some being kinda blurry despite not prompting for it, but that seems to happen randomy. I've only done a couple ZiT loras so far so I'm still trying to get the feel for it.
