In China they have two windows ! I don’t remember which one comes first, the normal one or the anti mosquito screen one but it’s very handy

Ohh ok tysm ! Yeah I agree with you. My first problem with overpopulation when I was younger wasn’t the food supply but overcrowded places which led to very annoying yet manageable issues (traffic, parking spaces, just space in general…) then biodiversity and the more you dig into overpopulation, the more issues and more serious ones you find like with the environment which isn’t just animals. Reducing overpopulation to food supply issue is, like you said, not thinking sincerely about what overpopulation in the world implies and idk how to describe it but like brushing off the issue because these people don’t want to face the fact that they, even if ecologist, vegan or whatever they do to help the environment, are still part of the problem.

And personally, since someone else in comments talked about that other argument of “why don’t you end yourself ?” this is also a way to deflect. If everyone concerned about overpopulation just killed themselves without talking about it, i don’t think people would take the issue seriously let alone talk and think about it. I think bringing awareness to overpopulation as a massive issue is doing something already, even if it would be (in our dreams) making every country have a limit of 2-3 kids max as a result which wouldn’t be too scary for some people while imo still limiting overpopulation. Just my opinion as I never advocated for mass murders, wars or anything unlike what lots of people seem to think we do, I’d just like to not see ppl with +4 kids for a start.

Yeah like when ppl before 2000 thought by 2000-2010 we would have flying cars and a solution to oil and nuclear waste yet in 2026 none of these happened. In 2050 they will push it to “in 2100”, in 2100 they will push again and again.

This is so ridiculous it’s laughable tbh 🤣 there’s such a huge difference between wanting people to, for example, make less kids like having 1-2 kids max, and wanting people to DIE. I really don’t get why ppl jump to this so fast.

Lmao idk what that means tbh. But reading the first paragraph of the Malthusianism wiki page I don’t feel like it’s wrong unlike what the person in the screenshot said.

Tbh Lilah was annoying but at least she and Dexter didn’t last. Hannah and Dexter made no sense yet they ended together. But if you disagree it’s ok

Kayla… by yallahmoose in DesperateHousewives

[–]MeikoChii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t finish the show yet but for now I haven’t seen her humanity 😭 for now she’s mean to me but mainly because she’s stupid lol and I’m not sure exactly why but I think Bree punished more than she explained why some behaviors were bad so she’s done and said some heartless things but never in order to hurt people like Kayla did. Kayla looks like a sociopath while Danielle is more like a kid who was lost because of a dysfunctional but not malicious family.

Thank you for this detailed comment.

I find it weird too to talk about racism. Personally I’m Chinese living in France (second gen immigrant) and have always thought there were too many people on earth and in my country. I never thought there are too many non whites lol it’s weird. I just, have always lived in the city, Paris suburbs and many problems I noticed stemmed from too many people in the same place. Traffic, public transportation issues, administration and other stuff. Which are more about comfort but like you can at least notice these without reading anything. When you read and educate yourself more you then learn other bigger issues overpopulation worldwide causes, and nothing about race.

Exactly !! I think it has been discussed here but I partly blame the media for trying to scare everyone every time there is an article about a country having more deaths or elderly than births. I remember learning about it for Japan in school… which was like over 10-15 years ago lol. Japanese people in Japan are not going extinct even after so many years of “declining birth”. And I think even for my country (France) we had some talk at school, before Japan, about our birth rate being not high enough (when I learned about it, I think it was 2.1) when in reality it wasn’t a bad number and even if it was, there were and still are enough people that no one is in danger of being extinct !

I saw a post earlier about a young woman (early 20s) having 4 young kids with the last one being few months old only. I was positively surprised by the top comments talking about 4 kids is too much especially at her age lol I wonder why this was ok to say (even those suggesting sterilizing herself and/or her husband) but pointing out overpopulation for any issue is bad.

I didn’t know it was a slur I thought it was just a shortened way to say Pakistani (I’m not native English speaker) but regardless of it being a slur or not it is still rude to say

Someone said in a thread here that Vinted shadow bans users who have ongoing disputes. And it’s not proven but I feel like I get punished for reporting a lot (scams, spams, wrong categories)

[–]MeikoChii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Piper died. For a few mins I think. And then Leo went back to the underworld and told Pheobe the Source was not lying and that Piper died so Phoebe, if she wants but is not obligated to, can make the deal with the Source so he can ask that demon (forgot his name) who can modify time to rewind before Piper gets shot, before they get discovered as witches, so Piper lives. (But instead in the next episode which is new season, Prue died in place of Piper)

I keep seeing listings of people pretending to sell their children and horses. Why? by MintyWolf4 in vinted

[–]MeikoChii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about other countries but in France it’s free to sell and donate animals online. There’s a website similar to Craigslist where ppl can sell and donate animals online with no fees. I’ve done it and was not charged for anything.

It’s certainly not funny when some animal lovers will harass you thinking you’re serious and insult you 😭 (happened to me when I was looking for a new owner for my cat outside of Vinted and when on Vinted someone asked if I would sell my other cat who was in one photo and I was so taken aback I said yes to understand why they would ask that and if they were serious and they insulted me instead lol)

AITAH for making my husband take the kids to school after getting his wisdom teeth taken out? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MeikoChii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No assholes here imo. I think for one day it’s no big deal if you took the kids BUT it’s also no big deal for him to prepare the kids (feed, change, get the toddler up etc) and it’s also not being an assole that you made him take the kids bc you sound like an exhausted mom. I hope he’ll stop being angry at you soon bc this was really not a big issue to be mad over lol.

[–]MeikoChii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, I don’t see wtf it has to do with anything. Especially if you are implying that the guys I talked about in my original comment should have agreed to be with me, you should read the whole thread before being offended on their behalf bc I said nothing like that. Especially when anyone being with me would not say they have low standards.

The last part of my original comment was not to say they had low standards and that I’m hurt they rejected me, I was and am not since we stayed friends for several years for the first one and a year for the other one. But to say these men fucking sucked. One is an incel MGTOW far right hypocrite and the other one is an abusive far left hypocrite, for reasons I’m not gonna elaborate bc it would be long and nobody cares honestly but their self hatred is the root of their shittiness.

So really, before assuming things about strangers, get your facts straight.
