red bull: daniel’s bad habits from mclaren are fixed, he did well in the sim, and his tire test was so good that we immediately knew he was ready to be in a car.

alpha tauri & yuki: daniel’s feedback on the car has been instrumental, and he performed so well in difficult race conditions even though he didn’t have any upgrades and had some bad luck.

rando twitter user who doesn’t have the data, didn’t know liam lawson’s name three weeks ago, and constantly insults the way red bull quickly drops drivers who don’t perform: they’re only letting him drive for pr even though he’s a washed up failure.

#like is red bull too harsh on their drivers or are they hiring a pr merchant who can’t perform. pick a side.#it’s just hilarious that every single person who actually knows the sport & daniel’s data/contributions #won’t shut up about how helpful he’s been and how well he’s done and how mclaren doesn’t reflect his performance #but these random people on twitter think they know better #and their excuse is ‘well liam scored points’ as if he isn’t driving a different car entirely lmfao #like liam has done well! i like liam a lot!#but he’s benefited from a better car/things happening around him in the race/not being head to head against yuki #he’s done a great job but there’s literally been ZERO real head to head comparison between the 3 drivers #but alpha tauri/red bull rate daniel and they have his data and know what hes done for the car & setup #i don’t ever deny that daniel’s popularity certainly doesn’t hurt #but they dropped nyck like he was nothing #red bull axes anyone who can’t perform #if daniel couldn’t do it then he wouldn’t have a seat. not that hard to understand.#people on the internet make me feral. i cannot use the internet. i need to stick to my curated feeds bc everyone is so STUPID.

Not to focus on the wrong things of this chapter or anything but watching Aqua struggle to make it in the entertainment industry for 128 chapters just to watch his rating be worse than a lot of random side characters that just appeared in this chapter is so funny help 💀

the nice thing about searching for jobs when there’s a shortage in your career field is…the desperation. it’s like…so many thirsty hoes in my inbox rn. they all want me to work for them.

i feel like i’m just so competent and amazing and ooooo all the hiring managers want me soooo bad cause i’m soooo good at working and my job…ahaha…it’s like, omg so you liked my resume?? you’re impressed with my skill set and experience? tell me MORE. go on…

ofc it’s offset by them spitting in my face by refusing to pay me a livable wage but i enjoy the groveling anyways lmao

#yeah it’s like…suck my dick harder ooooh #you won’t pay me a livable wage so i’m noot gonna work for you #but go ahead and grovel a bit for me!!#*insert snide ojou-san anime girl laugh here*#dumbass shit i said #job interview #the economy really is in shambles #like bitch…i got five dollars #i got bills to pay so i am NOT taking your $5 below the average hiring rate in my area #but please keep being so niceys to me i like that

Why’d it have to be Liv?😩😩😩 She’s for sure going to go after one of the #TresFuego and those are my faves and I’m going to have to put up with THAT man at the finale😭

#It’s a smart move so I can’t even blame her #but Im still sad #the circle #the circle netflix #the circle spoilers #(i dont watch the next time cuz it spoils so if it reveals don’t tell me lol)#but i think it’s between qt and Myles for who she will send #and my go go is qt #Lauren and Kyle will rate her high #Jordan isn’t a threat and also she’s not his biggest go to #and without qt I think Myles will rate her high #and keeping Myles means jordan still has someone else to gun for to raise her rankings #It’s the smart move but I will be DEVESTATED because she’s my absolute FAVORITE #and it means we won’t get to see Myles and QT at the finale dinner #maybe i will luck out and she will take the trash out but I doubt it

Anyway if they don’t give Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire another season, I’m going to start biting heads.

If you have not yet watched or even heard of Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire

Go watch it or I am going to start biting heads 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yeah, I know, Disney+ did a shit job at advertising for it (I only ever saw one single add for it and forgot when it was coming out as a result) so here’s your reminder to watch Kizazi Moto.

#I mean at this rate unfortunately it probably won’t get another season #which is a MASSIVE shame because there’s virtually no fandom for it #and all the reviewers I’ve seen are. well. wheight guys who are definitely not who I’d trust to give a fair and thorough review #kizazi moto: generation fire #kizazi moto #disney+#‘First Totem Problems’ is my comfort episode #though I get exactly why Mkhuzi is a fan favorite

Lesson learned: If a friend needs a break for themselves and then they turn around and basically say that they were taking a break from you. All because you zoned out on a call. A call that they started. A call that went from “haha funny gay men” to trauma dumping. Didn’t tell you that they were taking a break til four days later of silence. Lied to your face that they weren’t mad. Got even more mad at you for checking in every 3-4 days to make sure they were okay.

Leave them with an “I’m sorry I did all that” and a big fuck you by blocking them. I will not be treated like shit and only used for your convenience anymore buddy. If I’m such a bad person let me remove myself since you’re too much of a pussy to do it yourself.

The funny thing is I hope they get better. I know that under different circumstances that they would still be my friend. I only wished that the circumstances would’ve came sooner.

#lukabitch rant #yeah no I’m pretty pissed #if they were honest this would’ve been a different story #I don’t care if they were mad and needed a break #it’s the fact they lied and turned around and acted like I was the bad guy for not knowing #its not the first time this has happened either #trust me they won’t have any friends if they continue at this rate #I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to ruin my life somehow #like that would do anything #because I’m not the kind of person you can lie about and have it sound believable #yeah that’s about all my thoughts on it #have a good day everyone

I know everyone would like to see the entire Crescent City gang to be friends and get in to mischief with the ACOTAR gang, but picture this:

Rhys the instantaneous Dad Friend TM.

Think about it, he’s been a Dad for about 6 months by the time Bryce drops in. This is an instinct driven guy with a large history of Adopting people with high over levels and skill sets. Dad Mode in him has been activated and that is not a train I see slowing down in the face of a large collection of people with incredible power and shaky familial structures.

I’m just picturing…..

Feyre: *comes home from art class. There’s a werewolf on her rug, a stranger trying to explain the workings of a magic glowing box, and Lucien is drinking toasts with Bryce, a man who looks shockingly like Rhys with different hair, and a total stranger about how much the Autumn King sucks. They might be talking about two different people and it does not seem matter. Cassian is harassing a guy with feather wings by following him around with a tape measure.”

Feyre: “Hello….. people who do not live here…. Rhys?”

Rhys: “Darling, I really only meant to keep one of them, but it turns out Bryce has a brother and her mate, and her brother only came if I brought the full four pack. And Bryce’s mate has a merman friend. And they’re so young and their dad is the worst so…”

Feyre: “None of them have families?”

Rhys: “Not good ones. The parents around can have their kids back when they learn to suck less.”

Bryce: “I tried telling him I already had good parents, but I don’t think it mattered. He just said ‘there’s plenty of room for them to visit whenever they want for as long as they want’ and brought everybody here after the jail break.”

Ruhn: *very drunk* “Mom!” *hugs her*

Feyre: *patting his back* “Uhm…. Okay. How old are you again?”

Ruhn: *still hugging* “seventy-five.”

Rhys: *cries* “So young…..”

Feyre: *still patting because Ruhn is crying and she is also Mom Friend* “What was that about a merman?”

*Tharion erupts out of the Sidra with an army of pet otters*

Feyre: “….. Okay.”

A Visual Breakdown of America’s Stagnating Number of Births

By Anthony DeBarros

About 3.66 million babies were born in the U.S. in 2022, essentially unchanged from 2021 and 15% below the peak hit in 2007, according to new federal figures released Thursday.

The provisional total—3,661,220 births—is about 3,000 below 2021’s final count, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics. Final government data expected later this year could turn that small deficit positive.

Experts have pointed to a confluence of factors behind the nation’s recent relative dearth of births, including economic and social obstacles ranging from child care to housing affordability.

Absent increases in immigration, fewer births combined with ongoing baby boomer retirements will likely weigh on the labor force supply within the next 10 years, said Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide, an insurance and financial-services company.

“You’re going to have a real shortage of workers unless we have technology somehow to fill the gap,” Bostjancic said.

A look at the trends in charts:

Births stay well off peak

The government tallied about 655,000 fewer births in 2022 than the 2007 high of 4.32 million, reflecting ongoing decreases. With still-elevated deaths due in part to the latter phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, the U.S. in 2022 saw only about 385,000 more births than deaths.

The 2022 total might tick higher when final data is tallied later this year. Final 2021 births were about 5,000 above the provisional number; for 2020, the final tally was about 8,400 greater.

Fertility remains below ‘replacement’ level

The total fertility rate—closely watched because a level of 2.1 children per woman is the “replacement rate” needed for a population to maintain current levels—was 1.665 in 2022. That was essentially unchanged from 1.664 in 2021 and only a slight recovery from a record low in 2020.

The U.S. has generally been below replacement level since the early 1970s.

Hispanic fertility rates climb

The general fertility rate for Hispanic mothers increased 4% in 2022, second only to people of Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander origin. Fertility rates among Asian women rose 3%; rates for all other groups fell.

Hispanic mothers accounted for 25.5% of U.S. births in 2022, a record, while the shares of births from non-Hispanic white and Black women declined. White women accounted for 50.1% of births in 2022, Black women for 13.9%, and Asian women for 6%.

Birthrates continue declining among the young

The trend of decreasing birthrates among younger women continued in 2022. For teens ages 15 to 19, the birthrate fell 3%, and for ages 20 to 24 it was down 2%. The rate for the next oldest group, 25 to 29, edged up only slightly. Increases were mainly seen among women 35 to 44.

If trends continue, the birthrate for women ages 35 to 39 might soon eclipse the rate for ages 20 to 24.

#let’s go even lower!!!!!#deny this country a population!!!!#won’t even take care of the women they need sooo bad for incubating workers 😢#lots of contingencies to account for but still. this could be promising #esp since—as i would like to remind everyone—the U.S.’s maternal mortality rate rn is the highest it’s been since 1965
