Maybe if they created an environment conducive to having kids, more people would have them. Failing and underfunded public education, increasingly expensive cost of childcare, lower standard of living. I could go on about climate and geopolitical uncertainty but you get the idea.

Don’t repeatedly kill the cows in the first village so that you can sell their drops for coins. You can do it once… maybe twice…

Roe v Wade

They canceled my man Kyle Gass for less fuck you Elon!

“People work in roles they don’t care about, for companies they have no investment in, to pay loans they shouldn’t have.”

That sounds like a fight club quote lol. I know you didn’t say “loans they shouldn’t have” but the cost of college is just stupidly high. It doesn’t have to be free but come on.

Maybe if our leaders created a society more conducive to having kids more people would have them.

Hell yeah smiling friends meme format!!!

Monday morning, my alarm goes off. As I reach to turn it off I see a bright pink teddy bear standing at my bedside. Before I can react it blasts me in the face with a ray of pure happiness as I forget that wages have not been keeping pace with productivity or inflation.

Came here after the API bullshit. Takes a little getting used to but it scratches that same itch

Not “forever” but they should continue to work it seems. They will degrade and slowly stop working over time tho, no clue how long.

It’s like when Kobe learned French so he could trash talk Tony Parker lol

For real. At least the odds aren’t explicitly against you like casinos.

Lol that guy is crazy, probably has no clue just how expensive having a family is. Listed nothing factual at all, no statistics or avg/median prices, spending data, nothing. Probably regurgitating some fox news shit that if you have A/C and a fridge you’re better off than a 15th century peasant.

Hope they get the help they need.

Proto-brain rot lol

What a horribly flawed opinion to have.

It’s hard to talk about this without people getting upset but I think you were pretty genuine in trying to talk about it.

Lol this was funny AND educational! Although reading it as comment instead of being stuck in that actual class probably helped.

That was your “quarter-life crisis”. Don’t worry your mid-life crisis is still on its way :D

Correct. IIRC there’s an auto mechanism that will cut all benefits by 23% or something. So you’re mom/dad getting $2,000 a month would now only get about $1,500.

Thank you for posting this. I feel the same way but I’m not sure what to do about it :/ I already try to spend as little as possible. I’ve thought about trying to make a vegetable garden cuz in a way it’s free food but just haven’t :/

I wonder what will happen when they squeeze so hard nobody has anything left? How will they stay in business when nobody has money? Do they think every other company will go out of business but they’ll be fine? What do they think the end game will be?
