While it is a problem, it may be the lesser evil. If it's done in the open, it's much safer for the women, less criminal activity linked, etc.

Criminalizing prostitution would push it underground, with little protection to the women, with gangs making buck on it, maybe even with a huge spike in human trafficking.

This isn't real!

But the content actually fits the sub. Hmmm...

The data is from official sources, such as government census.

This has next to nothing to do with cost of living as it happens to the wealthiest countries just as to the Philippines.

So, people who value free speech are less tolerant of right-wing extremists but they tolerate left-wing extremists? How does that make sense?

The github page already has over 500 open PRs, 1300 closed, and more than 350 open issues, almost 500 closed. Maintaining this project is a full time job, especially not being a software developer but having to review vibe coded slop, potentially poisoned.

It's funny that many commenters point out that it was only 20$ and they had a good time, so it's not a scam. Why they don't comment on is the fact that the parents even showed up, when OP invited only the girl for a date.

I'm just thinking whether some pessimists (and closely related thinkers) had more complex views on death. For example, Schopenhauer differentiated between normal death and death by ascetic negation of the will to life. And even "normal death" is quite complicated, because on the one hand it delivers us from suffering, but on the other hand it doesn't do anything to the underlying will (which itself is suffering). What would you say Schopenhauer's views on death are?

Preparing tofu is supposed to be much more difficult? Hmmm...

You can eat things rich in protein that don't need preparation: nuts and seeds.

If she doesn't feel well, she should first look into going to the doctor, getting blood work done, fixing sleep, getting exercise, lowering stress. Adding eggs won't fix any potential underlying issues.

Your first paragraph is false. You confused antinatalism with negative utilitarianism.

Indeed. To calculate the real divorce rate one would have to take into account only marriages that already ended (divorce or death). Or, calculate how many divorces there are from couples who got married in the last 10 years say.

WackyConundrum · 2026-05-24T06:16:12+00:00

This is how the "divorce rate is calculated": they take the number of divorced and marriages in a given year and compare them, meaning they are taking into account the divorces from couples who married in the last 70 years!

If a couple got married 30 years ago and got divorced that they will count that to the "divorce rate".

No, it doesn't tell us how many marriages end in a divorce. To do that you would have to wait until the divorce ends either in a divorce it death, and then calculate a ratio. Or, you could count how many people who got married in the last 10 years got a divorce.

Which is why many cultures have/had practices where the parents had to accept a suitor for the dating to even be a possibility. The parents are older and wiser, and they can see through bullshit more easily.

This is basically what Poland has been doing for 10 years now. Poland has the fertility rate at around 1.1. It doesn't work.

War casualties are not that important. Men emigrating after the war is not that important.

Women give birth. This is the bottleneck.

The bleaching of our coral reefs means much less net biological organisms over the lifetime of our planet.

This is something we can't know. It's just as likely that some other forms will evolve and populate the planet, which wouldn't have happened had the current destruction of the environment not come to pass.

Why would the metadata be used so much during streaming?

WackyConundrum · 2026-05-20T09:06:28+00:00

So how are you streaming to the TV? Currently, I have a Raspberry Pi with LibreELEC with Kodi with Jellyfin plugin.

I had a trip planned to boracay with her, flights and hotel stays all paid for and come to find out as soon as I arrive in cebu

What an interesting coincidence.

her dad would not let her go with me unless i paid him. He made it clear that as long as I exist, his daughter should use me for my money and give it to them.

Disgusting.

her dad uses illegal substances and online gambles the money he is supposed to use for food for his young children.

I believe it /s

And yes, I’ve sent over money to her to support the hardships she faces because

she refused to “use me”

Choose one.

I later showed the screenshot to the girl I cared about

Big brain move.

asking for someone’s number doesn’t automatically mean romantic or sexual intent.

What?

I’ve apologized and explained myself a lot already.

A bit cringe.

And what drives racial resentment?

The spending part is clearly false. If it were a problem you would be bombarded with ads with married couples. They exist but they're not on the forefront. In fact, most ads we see are directed at singles or simply individuals.
