Comment Teen fertility (Score 3, Insightful) 155

Any article that mentions the decline of teen fertility as a problem is a propaganda piece. Its authors are awful human beings and deserve to rot in hell for all eternity.

In 2026, teens should not ever be getting pregnant. We don't live in that world any longer. Whoever that bothers needs to rethink their life choices.

Obviously we're in a world where young people do not know how to communicate via messaging systems, online web apps and email. They need to be physically sitting on a file cabinet in my cube while I slam obscure commands into a terminal and swear semi-silently at every typo.

I don't know who writes all this shit, but my experience is that our new hires have less desire to be in an office, in a strange city far from home, than I do.

I don't think it's malicious. Most people who lose weight by any sort of diet end up putting it back on. The whole concept of a "diet" is inherently flawed. It should be looked at more like treating alcoholism or drug addiction, except that you can't go cold turkey, and you probably can't even control your lifestyle.

What we fundamentally need is a device that monitors our calorie intake and our calorie expenditure and starts asserting itself when our budget is off. The one nature provided isn't working out.

This is the super rich who have crashed the economy yet again trying to calm you down so you do not demand they fix the problem they caused.

There is a continued push to convince people to do things, or have their kids do things, the speaker won't do themselves:
- Join the military
- Skip college
- Take up the trades
- Nursing!
- Do manual, unskilled labor

All of those are fine options in theory, but there are definitely reasons we aren't doing them until better options have run out. I'm not optimistic those reasons have changed, just the rate at which better options are running out.

Comment My condolences (Score 1) 75

My condolences and heartfelt sympathy for Dell employees about to undergo what must be the 300th failure to try to do this thing in the past 20 years. You will singularly bear the brunt of the pain, you will endure insane new meetings that will go nowhere and do nothing, and the result will be yet another new, mediocre thing to deal with.
