You’re welcome internet stranger.

It was a joke. By the time that’s a problem I’ll be dead you’ll be dead. IBDYBD

So it’d hasten Idiocracy? Kinda a IBDYBD problem I suppose.

Seriously though, I think the key would be to drive enough engagement with this so that this in combination with the obvious financial hardships that everyone’s facing completely annihilates the birth rate.

Once the birth rate drops enough, it won’t matter how many incels there are, the economy crashes without kids.

Not all of em! According to the exit poll data, 44% of women voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, 54% voted for Harris. I think that’s enough to make a difference. 🤷

I can’t imagine having to make that decision.

Well, I’m pretty sure you’re right about South Korea. I don’t see that as a reason not to try though. I can only hope that you’re wrong about America. I appreciate the insight.

E: Even if it isn’t super effective, every little bit helps.

It seems to have had the desired effect elsewhere. Also I’m not sure if it’s required for women to be a monolithic group. This assumption is based on the gender divide in the current election. Regardless, Trump’s policies are going to have a natural impact and decreasing birth rate just due to financial strain so if there are multiple factors that are impacting the numbers that’s all the better right?

I think they’re just advocating practical harm reduction. In a 2 party country without ranked choice voting (obv there’s more to it than that… not writing an essay here), you’ll only ever have the 2 choices.

Simple solution. Unsubscribe from prime and only buy things when you’ve got enough in the cart for free shipping. That’s all you need to do. Oh also sail the high seas.

So predictably devoted to fucking this country/world up.

Melby did not answer a question Monday about what happened that led to Harris’s and Walz’s names not being available initially on the ballot in the ESA system.

Error, or “error”?

The fact that they won’t speak to root cause allows people to come to worst case conclusions. Perhaps rightly so.

I was at that talk. I’ve never been inspired by an in person speaker like that. Makes one want to unionize.

I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you!

It disappoints me that the level of regulatory capture prevents these companies from being held to account.

I’ve got one of those laptop chips and I feel exactly the same. I’m going to be watching my temps very closely. My trust is absolutely gone

Wow. That’s really awful! I definitely feel some kind of way about not being surprised about that too.

My wife stopped wearing a pentagram and we took down our love your neighbor sign, you know the one that has that same phrase and several different languages…

Turns out the Christians are too unlike their Christ.

But if China sees chip making as a state asset, I wonder if, knowing this, they may now be able to prevent it.

Hmm
