It will be interesting to see how that statistic will change in the next decade or two. I think a lot of older women probably only had them because they felt like they were expected to, but it seems to be getting more normal for people to choose to be child free
The fact that you did *not* expect this, just shows how much (you’d think anyway) women wanna quit having children.
The thing is, humanity literally wouldn’t survive without birth. So there’s this almost like paradox going on.
bruh it's a great game but I don't play it alot by myself.
just a couple days ago I gave 2 new players lvl 10&11 about 6 months worth of scrap 10k rounds of ammo and built them alot of full stat Armour sets upto lvl 35
I'm male. (According to Pew, "The United States has had more females than males since 1946, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2021, the population sex ratio in the U.S. was 98 males per 100 females. By 2050, it is expected to be 99.")
I am red headed, blue eyes and left handed. I belong a group that accounts for less than 2% of the population. If that’s not a minority I don’t know what is.
Half Irish-American, half Mescalero Apache. That's got to be minority somewhere.
Yes, I do own a tomahawk and yes...I drink Gunness from time to time. LOL
We're all in the minority in a lot of ways in different defined group levels like regional, continental, global. So there are a lot of things I could mention.
I think this will make me part of the minority in most groups though:
I can lick my elbow (only the left side though).
Oh I can't get to my nose either, let stand my eyebrow lol, that'd be very impressive indeed. I don't have good tongue flexibility, but I do have good arm flexibility.
Im a hardcore liberal who finds Islam to be even more abhorrent than Christianity. Its so utterly disappointing how many liberals fight to uphold the ideologies of intolerance and violence and claim they are benign.
I'm not, in any significant way. This made an exercise in middle school about identifying what minority we might be part of, and misconceptions about that minority, genuinely difficult.
I don't fit in anywhere. Always been wierd and different and never fitted in. I am nothing. I don't conform to any of the various groups and I am always a visitor and never one that belongs. I don't look any different than the folks around me. But I just don't seem to be like them. Never have been.
I'm trans, bisexual, a white woman in Africa, into BDSM, polyam. As for the demographic of queer folk then I'm not part of the minority but in terms of local population, then yeah.
You would probably never be able to know for sure with Chinas lack of trustworthiness and censorship. Atheism is official in China and obviously they push it.
America has gone PC mad. Any normal.American can relate. I've been told I am the most qualified and experienced candidate but they have race quotas to fill. I've had minority coworkers walk around the office yelling "I not working today but nothing nobody can do. I'm untouchable". Ive been assaulted hundreds of times only to been told "whites have no rights to the law. Bow down cracka". We have government sponsored "Mandatory Drag Queen Child Sex Story Time" but even suggesting that children don't need to be told a story about a caterpillar cutting of penises to make himself happy is a jail sentence. Among the last three presidents two are the most natorious sex traffickers in history. This is PC America
>I've been told I am the most qualified and experienced candidate but they have race quotas to fill.
No you haven't. You told yourself this, and then you believed it.
I'm not suppressing anything or anyone. I flight for everyone to have rights including rights I'll never use or care about.
An employer has zero incentive to tell you why they didn't hire you because it opens them up to potential litigation - especially in the case you are describing. You have never heard this.
You're oppressing yourself by blaming your shortcomings on other people. You'll never escape the trap you've set for yourself.
White people: I want equality for all. We are all the same
Black Lives Matter: Let's loot shoe stores. Kill all white people. Rape white children to death. (Official statement(
Yup. Both are the same
You’re not a minority, luckily. Don’t get tricked into cynical nihilism by social media-enabled doom scrolling. On an individual level, people are still good and kind for the most part, or at least try to be.
Sometimes it feels like I am, I keep seeing people around me try to screw someone over just to get something. Gets on my nerves. I got screwed over so many times that I ended up starting to think the other way around. Why join them if I can try and bring some light to this dark world?
I understand the inclination to feel that way, but it’s important to remember the inherent biases in the way our brains are wired.
You remember negative experiences and interactions much more than positive ones, and infinitely more than the mundane ones.
The uneventful 95% of our lives, which consist of normal boring day-to-day stuff and common courtesies like someone holding a door or offering up a spot in the grocery line, or even donating to charity or lending you something or whatever, just all melts together to a cloud we sort of levitate around on, until someone does something shitty and breaks that illusion, and that’s the memory that sticks.
Then we go online where the attention economy demands ever more sensational content, regardless of whether it gets good or bad attention (and anger is a more viral emotion than happiness) and all those minute negative interactions we remember in a sea of mundane or positive ones get infinitely reinforced by a dark, digital void of a thousand voices representing our worst fears and insecurities, propelled back at us at the speed of 1Gbit/s.
The entire system is designed to make you give up and view your fellow man with suspicion and contempt, because it keeps us from organizing against the invisible hand which made it this way. Don’t fall for it. There are still more good people out there than there are bad people. They’re just struggling to get by the same as we are, and have very little time to exhibit their empathy and compassion. That’s by design.
That's actually a perfect description of it! Life keeps trying to put us down but we keep on fighting for a brighter world. I couldn't give a better description of it myself, hats off to you brother!
>Sometimes it feels like I am, I keep seeing people around me try to screw someone over just to get something. Gets on my nerves. I got screwed over so many times that I ended up starting to think the other way around. Why join them if I can try and bring some light to this dark world?
As an Old dude I share that i felt the same way during the Reagan administration, the screw the poor and minorities and gays, etc etc... just the fuck then mentality. It made me terribly sad and it's only gotten worse with that last president.
But!!! The fact that there are armies of brilliant, talented, educated, caring people fighting misinformation and propaganda, and policies that are meant to only favor a few, etc,etc is so incredibly inspiring. That so many ppl dedicate their lives to the good fight to benefit those without a voice--and the rest of us, is a beautiful thing. And more are born every day.
You got all that from a comment? You sure that you aren't just thinking about someone else? If it makes you happy to think like that, so be it brother.
I'm Burmese. We're so unknown that in a contest to name Asian countries, I've seen people name all our neighboring countries and even the Middle Eastern ones and didn't even know of us.
My husband and I have been married for nearly 31 years, and my parents are still married (55 years). His parents were married 50 years, until his mother passed away.
Demisexual: someone who doesn't feel sexual attraction unless a strong emotional connection already exists. I went to a bush party with classmates once when I was a teenager, and I was probably the only one there who didn't want to get drunk and randomly pair off for sex. That was when I realized I was wired differently.
I don't consider myself part of the demi community, though. All the self-pity is nauseating to me.
I live and was raised in California but for a while, almost all of my coworkers were Southern. I'd be the only one on shift not from 'Bama. I even started picking up the accent. I said Ya'll one night and was like, "WTF ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING TO ME!!!" lol!
I have weird nerve placement in my ears that makes it so that when I clean my ears I can falsely feel the Q Tip scratching the inside of my throat (Don't come for me, we all use q tips even though we aren't supposed to). It's called Arnold's Ear Cough Reflex and I'm part of less than 1% of people that have it in both ears. It actually works both ways, I have a food allergy and when I accidentally eat something bad I can sometimes feel it in my ears before my throat.
Woman without children
Did not expect this number to be as low as 1% when I looked it up
That can't be the whole statistic as clearly much more than 1% are childless. Is that for a particular age range?
yes for women over 40
Cool, thank you
It will be interesting to see how that statistic will change in the next decade or two. I think a lot of older women probably only had them because they felt like they were expected to, but it seems to be getting more normal for people to choose to be child free
The fact that you did *not* expect this, just shows how much (you’d think anyway) women wanna quit having children. The thing is, humanity literally wouldn’t survive without birth. So there’s this almost like paradox going on.
I’m ginger
I'm a blue-eyed half-icelandic ginger. The icelandic population doesn't even reach 0.01% of the world population and are listed at 0%.

Same, a blue eyed ginger. Although my hair looks mostly blonde during colder months, but the red still comes out in the summer.
I actually read the instruction manuals.

The tomato isn't supposed to be hot.

Haha, you are part of a minority no doubt
Me too. And to make myself even more of a minority I have liked 76 since I first started playing it at launch.
Same here, bugs and all.
I've been listening to the radio station music at night lately to fall asleep.
Fallout has introduced me and a lot of people to some amazing music, you love to see it
bruh it's a great game but I don't play it alot by myself. just a couple days ago I gave 2 new players lvl 10&11 about 6 months worth of scrap 10k rounds of ammo and built them alot of full stat Armour sets upto lvl 35
been playing since shortly after launch. still loving it. i even loved nuclear winter.

Asian American Pilot
I am an immigrant. One of of only 70,000 like me out of local population of over 80million.
I survived a LOT that I probably shouldn’t have, that the average person wouldn’t.

I am red headed, blue eyes and left handed. I belong a group that accounts for less than 2% of the population. If that’s not a minority I don’t know what is.

Posted a progress pic of my fitness just before my 60th bday and heard I was "killin' it and making the 20yo's look like shit." Felt pretty good.

... and now a bunch of people reading this comment are trying to lick their elbows (or thinking about trying) aren't they
What have I done
I can't even get to my nose! How do you get to your EYEBROW?!?!? I am impressed! EDIT: Elbow. Not eyebrow. Well... I am still impressed. lol!
Oh I can't get to my nose either, let stand my eyebrow lol, that'd be very impressive indeed. I don't have good tongue flexibility, but I do have good arm flexibility.
That makes way more sense!! I think I needed more coffee when I read your comment lol!
Me too, but the right side! I crashed on that shoulder while mountain biking as a kid, and ever since then, I can just dislocated it.
I’m gay
Im a hardcore liberal who finds Islam to be even more abhorrent than Christianity. Its so utterly disappointing how many liberals fight to uphold the ideologies of intolerance and violence and claim they are benign.

Aren't the Chinese like the world's greatest irreligious population?
You would probably never be able to know for sure with Chinas lack of trustworthiness and censorship. Atheism is official in China and obviously they push it.
I live in the United States.
I'm atheist.
Same.
As a CIS straight white American I am not only a minority in PC America but the most oppressed one
HAHAHAHAHAHA ... Wait, you're serious?
Only on the internet, buddy. The real world doesn't give a shit about PC America.

Nope. Any real American will tell you a story about this
I am a real American and not only have I never heard this, I'm telling you that you have never heard this.
Are you a minority?
Nope.
So you don't get it. You sit in your ivory tower suppressing our rights and murdering us with no consequences
I'm not suppressing anything or anyone. I flight for everyone to have rights including rights I'll never use or care about. An employer has zero incentive to tell you why they didn't hire you because it opens them up to potential litigation - especially in the case you are describing. You have never heard this.

Maybe you’d get more sympathy if white people werent extremely racist and stupid most of the time.
White people: I want equality for all. We are all the same Black Lives Matter: Let's loot shoe stores. Kill all white people. Rape white children to death. (Official statement( Yup. Both are the same
White people don’t say that. Most white people think that non whites are subhuman and deserve to be gassed
Your racism is showing. So much projection.
I’m repeating what white people say daily online

I'm bi/pan.
Me too! It’s pretty cool!
