China’s population projections don’t look good for them! At all! Projected down by about 50% by 2100

The human race is not making it to 2100

 

Is there a chance that our interconnected global civilization ends in some form before 2100? Yes. Is there a chance that advanced civilization (even more contained/less interdependent) ends before 2100? Far less likely. Is there a chance that humanity as a species ends before 2100? Not at all, barring a completely external (i.e. extraterrestrial) event.

 

At this point my opinion of a worst-case situation in 2100 is a fascist world order where some countries (including the US) continue to be very advanced and powerful, but much of the world (Africa, south Asia) has degraded.

The wide ranging eco-damage so far tells me we're really not for that long, considering the mass extinctions all around. Electric cars are one thing, but petrochemicals are going to be widely necessary in a lot of fields, like important ones like health care, that solving the locomotion problem, whether it's less car dependency or not is not going to change. And also the rest of the shitfest.

We have reached Peak China. 

According to the thesis of the video below (and the recent studies it relies on) the whole narrative around its meteoric rise was significantly exaggerated to begin with and much of it turned out to be straight-up fiction upon closer scrutinization:

Authoritarian regimes are famously incapable of proper self-assessment given their fraught relationship with truth and the usually present disincentives for officials at every level to report rosier data to their superiors in order to make themselves look better (or at least not rock the boat). R*ssia is another prime example of that in the present, their military apparatus in particular.

Lol take a look at the average cost of a wedding in the US I guarantee you we do the same fucking thing, except the bride gets gifts from EVERYONE

Brides don't receive gifts to get married in the US they receive them because they're getting married.  Rings are close but not required and i can't say i've ever heard of anyone i know having their marriage proposal's success hinge on it, lol.

My wedding costs in the neighborhood of $1000, or about $10 per guest who attended. But we got married at a public park (free, just a $200 refundable deposit), we rented 100 chairs at $1 a piece. My mom made my wife’s dress. My mother in law cooked the meal for the reception. My aunt made our cakes.

 

I think I spent more money catering my wife’s 40th birthday 😂

You beat us. I think we topped around $2000. The biggest expense was the dinner since we went to a regular restaurant for the party.
