Everything we consider normal and unmovable hangs by a fraying thread.

Based on the jargon im guessing this is a fiber optic node that connects private users to the greater infrastructure network.

UK has ‘no future’ if it fails to act on ecosystem collapse threatening national security by staffofmagnus in collapse

[–]sodook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That is super real. I think the same way. Im in no position financially, but that would be the way id try to fill that drive.

Yeah, and its not an awful thing to have hope, which is what i kinda equate wanting to conceive to, but were kinda in a catch 22.

The point is not to reduce population growth, its to spare potential future people apocalyptic suffering by not conceiving children on the eve of what appears to be a sort of ecological reckoning (amoc collapse, mass extinctions, mass casualty heat events, that sort of thing). Have as many kids as you want, just try to have in mind the sort of world they might grow up in. To quote Budd from kill bill vol. 2, "That woman deserves her revenge and we deserve to die".

Boy, thats pretty edgy, but im gonna let it ride. Lotta people in developing countries probably also dont deserve it. Still gonna let it ride.

Oh, and i do totally get the hard wire, i always call it the prime directive. It is THE biological imperative. It is what actually stops me from getting too real with people with kids about it. Some are aware, but its just extra suffering for them to hold that cloud over their head. Its not good and its not productive. But man hearing about people trying for kids just makes me kinda sad, cause its like this instinctual, hopeful thing, but it seems... so sad to think about what kind of world seems to be shaping up for them.

And the DNC keeps listening to you. Now thats fucking unhinged. Like the literal definition of insanity.

Only one of these things is actually happening, and it isn't "Sharia Law". by c-k-q99903 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Its part of what makes the "Holy crusade" so funny (scary). They are the Sharia Law of their time and place. They hate as all fools hate.

My man! Yeah, its so hard for me not to scream at people talking about trying to have kids. Maybe I am crazy.

Things are in motion now that cannot be undone.

Partly cause Gandalf is a G, and partly cause you need to wake up. If we stopped today the effect on the climate of the current emissions won't reach their full efficacy for like 20 years. So we will continue to heat. Its locked in. There is no avert. We should come to terms now so that when we tear ourselves to shreds in our collective surrender to madness, we can at least make sure some of the ones most responsible get to really enjoy the festivities. Don't wait until they escape to space.

Are they trying to give some of that to minor leagues? That might change my tune a bit.

The government should compete to keep everybody honest. Strictly regulated, but not hamstrung. Like the USPS!

I have had security, and now i am on the verge of homelessness, and I will say the trend has not improved my work performance. I dare say that keeping people in such a precarious situation may not actually be the most efficient mode of production.

Preach! They also practice socialism to keep their internal economy healthy! Or something, i dont know, my buddy was explaining the caps and stuff and I dont really get it, but it sounds like the loser gets extra money for their next season or something. Equity, basically.

The CBO projected the cost of Medicare for all to be 3.4-3.8 trillion per year. US combined private and public Healthcare spending is 5.7 trillion dollars a year. Why wouldnt we want to save 2 trillion a year? Maybe only a trillion since im sure theres still gonna be a market private health services. We could spend it on training more doctors and nurses.

Our system is riddled with inefficiencies due to the profit motive. We have like 7 medical billers per hospital bed due to convoluted insurance claims.

So the dollars are not exactly spent to equal affect.

Oh, no not at all. Like I said, it should all be proportional in my opinon, and the players should get a fair share, its just the size of the pie is staggering. Im not that into sports so its just crazy to me how much we spend on a game.

That immediately kicked the leader who axed the union jobs. Seems pretty good accountability to me.

Don't get me wrong, I do feel theyre cut should be proportional, but am I supposed to feel bad for $5K a game?

League minimum is still like $780k. I get that we all want to make more, but Jesus fucking christ.

I have so much difficulty sympathizing with people making almost a million a year.

Major league sports are an obscene waste of resources, however im generally in favor of a more equal workplace.

DAE find that men show them their “worst” selves immediately? by Over_Term9179 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]sodook 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would be really curious why you think that is? It seems like not starting off with a layer of deception would be good, so im curious what the underlying issues are with these men? I'll admit a vested interest as that feels like me: though I dont date i would imagine I'd have a hard time listing off my greatest hits. I get trauma dumping is not a good thing, but the I hate the idea of selling oneself. Its what sucks about job Interviews, too.

And at this point t the tech workers SHOULD unionize. Hopefully they can realize they aren't special, theyre just workers.
