To reproduce is to guarantee an innocent person all the suffering and tedium of a lifetime. I cannot imagine a more sadistic act than inflicting life.
There is no altruistic reason to have children. No one suffers when a person opts out of reproduction. To not reproduce is the ethical choice.
Say more; be specific.
What is missing or broken?
Why isn't EU sponsoring specific features and fixes it needs?
Or assign some of their own developers to submit pull requests.
Or hire *some Europeans* who are unemployed because their war is killing industry.
Let's hear from their project manager instead of faceless wankers and the people responsible for sales.
The propagandists say that their competitors confuse people and they won't believe the propaganda anymore.
The Horror, the Horror.
We'd all be trillionaires if we could see that far into the future with sufficient clarity.
Consider whether a Depopulationist psyop is more or less likely than that The End Times have finally come (unlike the previous thousand pronouncements).
People who are anxious and scared are easy to control. Have a look back at Al Gore's slide deck and see how much they really knew.
Though Competitive Advantage should not be discounted as a very real driver of evolutionary fitness.
The poorest people in the world somehow manage to not extinct their 4B-yr old germ line.
Many Westerners have personal preferences greater than familial survival. It's been trained into them but only in times of mass starvation has this ever happened before in history.
Census by the founders includes *every person* not just citizens. Disagree with the founding fathers on that one eh? Also there is an easy thing to do with people who are illegal, just make them legal. Reagan knew there isnt a practical alternative and now a new generation will have to learn that.
Nope....I liked Reagan a LOT, but he fucked up really badly on that one thing allowing an amnesty....caused a rush on the border...Hey everyone isn't perfect and he fucked that one.
Fuck legalizing them....send them all back and try to come in the legal way. I'm not against streamlining and reforming our immigration system to legally come here, but even with that we should be choosy about who we let in, only those that will benefit the US and show they will be likely to meld into the melting pot and become US citizens.
We need to set up system around work that will pretty much lock out ANY person here that is not here legally....I hate the thought of a national ID, but if something similar to it had to be in place to root out all the illegals, make it impossible to work and live here, I'd be for it.
And maybe we need to amend the constitution and ONLY count citizens and ONLY allow most things for citizens....let's make it as unattractive and difficult as possible for illegal immigrants.
I use a bluetooth page turner pedal for sheet music.
I think it was $14 for two buttons. Maybe there's a third, I only ever use forward and back.
$40 is wild.
Three we are going to see a bump in immigration to the US as the Republican's have made immigration enforcement a total disaster...
Disaster?
I hardly think so....they have gotten the PR wrong in many cases, but I and lots of folks appreciate the efforts and accomplishments so far.
The main problem is, we're not rounding up and deporting illegals fast enough in large enough numbers.
But progress is progress and we're already starting to see some change in good numbers.
One nice side effect will be, hopefully, if we can deport enough NON citizens, they won't be counted in the next census and the reapportionment of house seats to more represent actual CITIZENS in states will come about....
Open up more housing to citizens with illegals gone out of places....and take huge fiscal burden off our government services (education, medical, etc)....with them off the roles being a burden.
The editors don't edit or care enough to listen. The owners don't care either, despite the old Slashdot having vastly more users.
Being "Slashdotted" by users flocking to mentioned sites went away along with Slashdot influence.
They'll likely sell tons of them to users who don't need more than what those specs deliver. In ancient times netbooks sold well despite weak specs.
You can suggest that, but you are saying "give up your close ties to family/friends/social life", and "move further from your job, or find a new one". Obviously if they really want kids they will make it work, but it's the ones who would like them but are not willing to give up so much of their lives, and limit themselves to one or zero.
Im saying exactly that....if need be, you MOVE to where life is better in general.
Grow up, be an adult make adult decisions.
When exactly did people start being such pussies and afraid to move out on their own...? This wasn't so unusual only a few decades back.
Hell in pioneer days....married couples would load up the wagon and head west often to never see family again.....
That's a bit extreme but is shows mankind often moves to where it is best to live.....when did people get so afraid to leave mommy and daddy? Can people not make friends in new places?
People act like it's a big deal.
Ever since I went out of state to college...I've almost never lived back in my home city or state....it's been great and no downside whatsoever....
I don't see what the big fucking problem ius with kids today.
I have a VERY tight loving family I grew up with, parents, cousins....I still have lifelong friends there and along the way in all states I've lived in.
Moving doesn't mean the end of relationships, just changes....
Good deal that means over time...the liberals will self select themselves out of society....win win.
Really though, children are a huge commitment that, when done properly, requires you basically remake your life around what is best for a stable family unit for the next 20 years and really, once you have a kid, you'll always be a parent.
Err....well, that's been the common, well known NORMAL way of humans since the beginning till about...well, maybe 10-15 years ago when people went off the rails and norms went down the drain?
I mean, no one questioned this at all in all of humanity till just recently......
I think more than anything this is due to toxic feminism which has been fermenting to a head in recent years.....woman are going against what nature tells them and we have society backing that up.
But I get surprised to hear people today stating what you just did sounding like it is a foreign concept someone is newly trying to push on society?
it's hard to say if the Republicans will continue to lean into anti-immigration as hard as Trump did.
God I hope so.....we still have a LONG way to go to get rid of all the illegals that are currently here and need to go....
Lo! Men have become the tool of their tools. -- Henry David Thoreau
