Am I the age I was in 1983? Because that would make me an unfertilized egg waiting for ovulation.
- Comment on Will never understand how anyone wears these. 10 hours ago:
I’m nearly 6’ tall and I feel amazing in heels.
I have balance issues though, so I don’t wear them anymore.
- Comment on Jeff Bezos claims AI could allow 3-day workweeks; man who won't give employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon 1 week ago:
Mif there is ever going to be a chance of that, the bare minimum will be a wealth tax. Tax the principle wealth of billionaires. Not gains, not unrealized gains. The principle wealth.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 1 week ago:
A falling population with a stagnant economy sounds bad but that’s a rising standard of living.
Long hours are not captured in GDP but Japan had that problem long before the population pyramid inverted.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 1 week ago:
There are real challenges to population decline, especially rapid decline like Korea, Taiwan, Ukraine, russia, and China are facing.
The US and Great Britain are not looking at that rapid decline. For us, it’s a problem to be managed. Every generation of schoolchildren is 75% the size of the preceeding generation.
That’s manageable. No promises that we will do anything to manage it, but it’s not crisis level. Other countries will have greater problems. JApan has been doing Allright.
- Comment on Anon isn't worried about population decline 1 week ago:
This is true in places. There are also acounts of places where all the nobility died and the peasants threw weeks long parties.
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 2 weeks ago:
For men: hair plugs, Rogaine, testosterone replacement therapy, those compression vests Inget advertised on YouTube.
For women: botox, breast enlargement, Brazilian butt lift, laser hair removal, hormone replacement therapy,
That’s a shirt list off the top of my head.
- Comment on The irony of arguing with someone who read about it in a history book vs. you having lived it 4 weeks ago:
Pretty sure there are documented cases of Vietnam vets getting abuse when they returned. Spit on or or called Baby Murderers. This was before airport security so anyone could just hang out at airport terminals. Mai Lai massacre was real and publicized before the end of the war and you had veterans testifying before congress like John Kerry or throwing away their medals in front of crowds. The famous photo of the girl on fire was widely publicized, it won a pulitzer award.
This might not have been the norm or even super common experience of returning vets, but I’m pretty sure it happened to more than a handful.
Maybe others heard stories in bars and VA halls and remember the trauma vicariously, but the nation was deeply divided over the war. Kent State shooting didn’t happen in a vacuum.
- Comment on Do most Americans vote just based on name recognizing without any thinking of the platform? Or pigeon hole a candidate to one issue and vote for them? Even if that issue is way against beliefs? 5 weeks ago:
I mean, I’ll never understand letting the psychopath into office as a response to the horror abroad.
- Comment on Do most Americans vote just based on name recognizing without any thinking of the platform? Or pigeon hole a candidate to one issue and vote for them? Even if that issue is way against beliefs? 5 weeks ago:
Most voters are making their choice based on some combination of inane nonsense and personal greed.

You just made an enemy for life!
- Comment on Don't Worry About Retirement, Millennials 1 month ago:
We have an effective volunteer military, for now.
When civil unrest reaches critical mass the elites stop thinking about the military as a tool to force other countries to do what they want and start thinking about it as a tool to force the rabble to stay in line. This is the primary purpose of most militaries in the world.
The failure of the war in Iran brings us closer to that point.
- Comment on Don't Worry About Retirement, Millennials 1 month ago:
It can definitely be both.

My shark is ride or die.
We got this.
- Comment on Corporate media, owned by billionaires, refuse to recognize the wave of democratic socialism 1 month ago:
Our society needs radical solutions to serious problems. I would focus on things like wealth taxes, Healthcare, and climate action, but I’m willing to risk breaking a few eggs to elect someone that wants to make an omlette.
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 2 months ago:
Down voted because this is a perfectly reasonable take.
- Comment on Dr. Thanos, PhD. 2 months ago:
Pretty sure we would he fine without the richest 1000.
- Comment on Doesn't add up 2 months ago:
Thats the billionaires squeezing profits out of every transaction, not just the enrollment fees, the rent on the property, the Healthcare and insurance premiums for the staff and the operation.
Everything they do is being optimized to squeeze wealth Into the mouths of billionaires.
Tax wealth not work.
- Comment on The most unrealistic part of Odyssey is the journey taking 20 years 2 months ago:
So, delightful for “getting away” and being somewhere pretty? Sounds wonderful.
- Comment on The most unrealistic part of Odyssey is the journey taking 20 years 2 months ago:
Neither are well known enough that I, a resident of Texas, knows anything remarkable about them. I’ve heard if Ithaca New York, never heard of Troy.
There are things to do and see in any city or town in America, but I expect that kind of travel is an aquired taste.
(By comparison: the small towns around my city boast things like: peanut festival, strawberry festival, highland games. I expect you could find similar events in Ithaca or Troy, but you would need to enjoy that kind of ‘state fair’ atmosphere. These are things I would drive an hour for but wouldn’t travel out of state unless I was there incedentally already)

Twisted gut cuts off bloodflow, and since intestines are soft tissue they can just stay twisted until that part of the organ dies, and then having a section of intestine dead is just fatal unless you get surgical intervention and usually still even then.
It’s less common in humans and more survivable, maybe because we can do bed rest. You cant just tell a horse not to move wrong or go to a liquid diet.
- Comment on My wife showing me the spider whose whole family I must kill because it crossed her path once. 3 months ago:
Yes, she was trolling an opposing player.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 3 months ago:
Snowden is living in exile in Russia.
Chealsea Manning leaked the “collateral Murder” videos during the Iraq war and had her sentence commuted by Obama. She remains a political activist and, according to Wikipedia, a DJ.
- Comment on Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms? 3 months ago:
Sounds like your employer doesn’t give you enough time to actually do the work, just barely enough to to do it “good enough.”
It’s probably even worse for the people you hire.
They say we are going to become worse off as population decline tightens the labor market and I am fucking here for it. Maybe when you only get 10 resumes you will be given a chance to actually read them.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 4 months ago:
Personally, vacation days are for medical appointments.
- Comment on Anon is given an ultimatum 4 months ago:
Upon further consideration, you have a point. A self identified NEET might not, but it’s also a label that is applied to people who might want to gain employment or training but don’t have the opportunity.
- Comment on Anon is given an ultimatum 4 months ago:
NEETs are not looking for employment either and wouldn’t take it if it was offered.

- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 4 months ago:
Wealth disparities of millions of times are anathema to democratic government. If you don’t want peasants and feudal nobility, you have to offset wealth accumulation.
Inheritance taxes have proven insufficient. So wealth taxes are the next best compromise.
- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 4 months ago:
Child care and elder care seem to be in demand.
