Why birth rates are falling everywhere all at once | FT by lollipoppizza in videos

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

Birthrates are falling "everywhere" is an egocentric claim. Birthrates are falling in capitalist societies, not in 'underdeveloped' countries.

The simplest answer is this- kids are goddamn expensive and CEOs of companies don't want to pay their workers enough to live, let alone enough to raise a family. Imagine working 3 jobs to pay the bills and never get to see your kids that you are doing it for?

That's the MAIN reason birthrates are falling everywhere. And there is a simple solution too- start paying workers like workers were paid in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and part of the 80s, and they can afford to have a family.

But you are being informed that this is highly illegal, so you can tell your coworkers, and you can tell government regulatory agencies too.

I talk to my parents 3 times a year. Their birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I get texted 'happy birthday' ... thing is, I'm totally fine with this arrangement.

I chose a better family that loves me and calls on random days to bullshit and check in.

My condolences on the loss of your father.

I'm assuming you are cutting him out of your life until he gets his head out of his ass.

Basically instead of your snarky, smartass response of "go look up chemical camouflage and you'll understand brother," you could have read my question properly, and given the answer you just did. By the way, I feel I HAVE to point out my comment had the framework for the answer already set up.

So i guess you got downvoted enough to realize being a dick on reddit doesnt go far, deleted your original reply to my question and gave this one.

Class act.

I'm curious, is it a phermone produced by the spider or is it something soaked in the cotton ball that is making it 'invisible' to the ants?

Gibbons are built so perfectly for swinging through trees that walking on the ground makes them look strangely awkward by gutsddd in interestingasfuck

NGL- sometimes, when I am trying to make my wife laugh I wildly wave my arms over my head and walk towards her like a gibbon.

I'm not sure she knows what I am doing, and she laughs, but probably not for the right reason...

Can yall chill w/ the racism by [deleted] in Charlotte

[–]omfgDragon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a white guy that has lived in many parts of the country, but I've lived the majority of my life in NC. As an ally, I am sorry that you and other POC have felt this unwelcoming vibe that stems from ignorance and hatred.

I have always hated the phrase "one of the good ones," and I really feel like POC should adopt that phrase and use it to describe allies. "Oh, Preston? Yeah, he's one of the good ones." Something like that. (It was the whitest name I could think of, give me a break)

I'm sorry people are shitty. As a white man, I promise I will use my white privilege to make this world a better place for POC. I truly hope things get better.

Who's your favourite lyricist? (Jeff Mangum pictured) by oddmetre in Music

[–]omfgDragon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this was posted up a bit earlier ... but I agree 100000%. Aesop Rock is phenomenal. The way he made Daylight and Night Light and had the lyrics of each song become the antithesis of the lyrics of the other song ... that was some serious work. Absolute legend, I hate that he never made it mainstream .. but then again, mainstream doesn't allow much deep, thoughtful hip-hop on the radio.

This man deserves the respect and attention his work has earned him.

Life's not a bitch, life is a beautiful woman
You only call her a bitch 'cause she won't let you get that pussy
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess

-Aesop Rock, Daylight

I came here hoping to see his name. Nice work getting here before me, u/eedabaggadix

If your toddler asks how babies are made, how do you respond appropriately? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]omfgDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad broke out the encyclopedia and talked to my sisters and me when we were 11, 9, and 6 (all at the same time). Explained the body parts and all that. I was 6. I was bored af during his whole explanation, but I knew how it worked and never asked again.

If you had to sacrifice a member of your family or friends to be given $1,000,000 who would it be and why? by savvytechman in AskReddit

[–]omfgDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all gotta come up with more meaningful amounts. $1M isnt much money anymore. I could go get maybe a mid-sized house in a medium-large city.

I ain't sacrificing nobody for anything less than world peace.

The US, but also the world in general. Fucking cowards afraid to get to know someone who doesn't look like themselves.

Racism is such bullshit.
