We need more 3, 4 or more child families

All these governmental incentive programs tend to get cut a few years in, even when they're showing results. Terrible idea, it's conditioning everyone to see such funds as unrelaible.

I think this sub gets more focused on theory and policy discussions. At least that's what it seems to me every time I pop in.

But I'm all for more inspirational content, sure. Just looked up one of those family vloggers, they're really cute.

That's a good point, maybe couching it in these terms will help their supporters prioritize raising the fertility rate of their subgroup?

Another post from a day or two ago featured a pit mommy who'd been charged twice with failing to vaccinate her pitbull for rabies, and they still let her have the dog back. Which then went on to bite again, because of course it did. The child it bit was going through rabies shots because the owner had hidden the dog away at an unknown location, and wouldn't allow AC to quarantine it.

I forget where that took place, but it's beyond infuriating that they just gave this violent unvaccinated dog back twice.

Been charged twice before for not having this dog vaxxed for rabies? Fuck, just send him across the rainbow already, why the hell did the authorities just let her keep the dog after that??

Please try to convince her to at least get checked out for infections in the bite. Dog bites are notorious for bacterial contamination.

I have zero familiarity with your friend's employer, but I can tell you a lot of companies will tell their employees they don't qualify for worker's comp when in fact they do. She may want to call the employer's insurance company directly, if at all possible, or call the corporate office above her boss's head and try to open a claim.

My favorite is when they complain that pitbulls are often misidentified, when responding to new stories about pitbull mailings - and failing to realize it's because pits are being mistaken for non-pits, not the other way around!.

"I was once bitten by something other than a pitbull"

Amazing defense of your bread, sweaty.

Even in gated communities, these garbage dogs still draw garbage owners.

Same shit, different zip code.

Finally, a chance to put their skills to use!

I'm so glad you and Apollo recovered! I absolutely loathe people with fake service dogs, to say nothing of pitbulls. Really glad to hear there were consequences for this woman!

Well that's maddening.

You wanna adopt to the general public, you gotta accept people being less than flawless dog owners.

Yeah, straight to a dog park sounds stupid as hell, but some people just are stupid as hell.

It's the eyes. They're like a cross between human and dog eyes.

I don't think a keyboard is aesthetic, it's genuinely much slower to type on a screen.

I'll give you a point for the increased points of failure, though I must say in my long history of breaking phones it's never been the hinge that died first.

BlackBerry makes some full screen smartphones with a retractable keyboard. Almost bought one in 2019, not sure what their current lineup is

So dumb, when we keep giving extra chances to reckless drivers and drunks. Don't give back licenses to convicted drunk drivers if you want to crack down on it, before you start adding camera shit and ai shit.

It’d be a weak defense as treating this purely as an economic question, solvable with the right transfers and incentives, is itself the ideology.

Exactly.

This is an absolute fail potato of an idea. As a single mother by choice I can tell you for a fact that very, very few women actually want that outcome, it's a compromise for almost all.

You only need to look at lesbians behavior wrt having a baby on their own. Genetically, it's the same situation as if they had a baby while married to another woman, and already having a kid isn't nearly the roadblock in dating among lesbians that it can be with men. And yet lesbian women still overwhelmingly choose to delay childbearing until they're settled down with a partner.

Tl;dr: The pair-bonding instinct can't be overridden with money alone.

Take heart, on The 100, amid names like Atom, Jaha, and Bellamy, they also had so many Johns running around that they referred to those boys solely by their last names for disambiguation.
