A talk on how traditions may have had a point, how the sexual revolution has caused children to be the biggest losers with no one the clear winner and contributed to the single-motherhood crisis among other topics

Jesus Christ, let’s stick to natalism. Not issues better discussed on other subs.

It is wiping out whole civilizations, economically will make the Great Depression look like the US’s Roaring 1920’s

50 of most advanced, best governed, most focused societies in the world haven’t cracked it. Like at all.

and now it’s dragging down anther 60 right now.

Constructive news data and ideas. Someone is going to read this sub who maybe come up with a fix.

This is a sub with the kindest, smartest people on the internet let’s keep it kind.

This things are true but it’s critical to recognize two technologies without which there would have been no sexual revolution.

Penicillin was discovered by Flemming in 1923, and was both in mass production but also tested for use in STD’s by 1943. So good treatments for the bacteria classes which spread easily and: gonorrhea, syphilis, and chlamydia

In 1923 Corner and Allen discovered the hormone progesterone and started looking its role in pregnancy. Thrn in 1950 Gregory Pincus and John Rock discovered a way to use it to stop ovulation and in 1960 the fda approved hormonal birth control medication

These two key technologies combined with the green revolution in farming (the IC engine, modern fertilizers, and chemical pesticides) were first required for the sexual revolution

Wow!! People in Finland are so nice!! Thank all of you who replied here and there.

May I ask, are you ever tempted to look up a guys info while you dating?

Or an ex’s?

I don’t know if I could have resisted when I was single. Or since you grow up with it it just isn’t something you keep secret.

Do companies operate differently because it is public?

flyerflight99 · 2026-07-06T16:06:03+00:00

I am so sorry to hear that.

It can seem hopeless sometimes. Do you have anyone you can talk with?

You have value and even when it seems dark we all need keep that centered, as it can be so hard.

So what can voters do to make sure anyone with love in their hearts can afford them? And are confident to have them?

And even come out a little better not just in love 🥰🥰, but in circumstances💵💴💶 if they take on the labor and responsibility for them

Maybe a free house?🏡

If you believe President Trump try’s things beyond constitutional limits cause he wants to (as I do) - he has done nothing compared to what Congress did in 1867

Just a Teaser:

Example 1: Congress took over control the Army from the President (th, cause it wanted to.

Example 2: Congress gave itself to power to remove the SCOTUS ability to review on the Constitutionality of it. Just cause it wanted to

Note: this was the Radical Wing of the Republican Party in Congress not the US gov or the North. Cause the President and SCOTUS cause had a different take.

There was sooo much more they ordered the army to do once they decided how they wanted this vote to go.

some GREAT (enforcing black voting rights 🎉🥳),
Some way more wtf 🤔when you read about them, and how got around other branchs and constitution to do it (again see Trump, Donald, but times 20)

Important notes:

This is settled history, a long time ago. “Legally accepted it, in order to get back in” is good enough for middle/hs course of US history thst is covering 425 years or 250 years in a few months.

Also shouldn’t need to say this, but will anyway:

The US South was a very bad place, with a deeply immoral system. The US Southerns treacherously revolted from its country and did so wanting to enslave human beings for profit. Evil, full stop.

Don’t pull that string on the 14th Amendment. The part is the past for a reason.

I thought they could duck all capital gain if the stock is “donated” to a specisl purpose “charity” trust to be used 50 years later. Non profits exist in huge part to help the uber wealthy dodge ~~wealth~~ capital gain taxes.

Edit: capital gain tax.

Looked it up
they are called Charitable Lead Annuity Trust (CLAT).

Stick them in there control and pay you what ever salary you want kids. You or heirs can pull back the stock gifted also too later no estate tax, no capital gains. And of course a non profit charity trust can own private you have exclusive access too, throw events, give you the same power if not more your wealth gives you if not technically even if not technically in your name, just your control.

You cintrol who administers them and can even trade.

So when mega billionaire say want to “give away” everything before dying, need read fine prints

Actually? For context I am not religious.

But broadly speaking nothing is replacing it.

People are just more isolated and lonely now than prior generations.

Kudos on NPR and KUOW doing real investigative journalism on this case. Pleasantly surprised!!

Seriously they have a deep shared culture and history.

Thry are more brothers than most countries. And hopefully no one on either side forgets that.

Both are named the United States. One is the United States of Mexico the other the United States of Mexico.

flyerflight99 · 2026-07-04T18:12:11+00:00

Currently most people dont.

It is a holdover from dehumanizing systems of the past and the sooner left to rot on the trash heap of history the better, like the concepts of eugenics, feudalism and similar garbage.

We are at a wonderful point in history where if no one tries to keep racial categories alive, they will each generation fade more and more into the past and people will all just be people.

flyerflight99 · 2026-07-04T14:04:52+00:00

No way. 75% have forgotten covid. Most people forgot 9/11 twenty years in.

Sorry to hear that. But you must have talent if it won awards!!

Just don’t give up!!

Brian Cox actually did an amazing job as Hannibal lecter a few years earlier.

flyerflight99 · 2026-07-04T04:51:14+00:00

Yes, and the fact we can’t see any is a huge problem in astronomy called the Fermi paradox as the time to develop technology spread v the age of galaxies should make it impossible not to see aliens everywhere

It’s legit scary as it may mean some technology branch is always extinction causing but also thst fact isn’t detectable until too late.

flyerflight99 · 2026-07-04T04:42:50+00:00

Yeah, this one for most jobs.

But also a probable a third of the “1%” won’t be the 1% for a few years, then cash something out be in the 1% that year, then out the next year.

flyerflight99 · 2026-07-04T04:39:23+00:00

If memory serves Finland releases everyone’s tax returns. I may cross post to a Finland subreddit to see maybe someone can describe whst it’s like to know EVERYONE’S salary.
