That’s a point that we AGREE upon. I feel like me saying it feels icky and acknowledging the awful history of eugenics was just ignored. This isn’t a global famine sized problem yet, but when it is, and this conversation is forced upon us, then what? If you agree that overpopulation is a looming problem, what solution do you propose?
- Comment on That's why it's called science fiction duh 2 weeks ago:
It was good information until you decided to be a dick at the end. I was going to thank you for a decent response but actually fuck you for deciding that I need a 3rd grade monster truck ad to understand it. That sort of elitism is a big part of the reason the stupid half of the country fucking hates the educated half.

But Idiocracy’s point still stands, the most poorly educated in that scenario will be the ones to reproduce the most.
I don’t think that there’s a compelling argument against population control as the future looms, how it is implemented is what I think is up for debate.
I strongly believe in personal freedom, but in an overpopulated world, I’m not certain that freedom should extend to reproduction.
Here’s where I get a little eugenic-y, and it feels icky, downvote if you must, but I’d prefer an intelligent reply. Why should a species, faced with the problem of overpopulation and gifted the power of sentience, not elevate it’s best and suppresses it’s worst? Maybe because I don’t feel a personal drive to have kids, my partner isn’t interested either, but it feels very selfish to think you personally have the right to add one more unregulated specimen to the petri dish.
Is it a huge turn away from what has made us human since forever? Yea, but wasn’t the Internet? Internal combustion engines? I don’t feel strongly enough about this to not be swayed in my ideas, but I just see it as a logical extension of a problem we face. What would Vulcans do?

Maine lost something like a third of its nurses to a vaccine mandate. Which is cute because medical staff, all the way down to janitorial (hi) get updated vaccines every year.

Scientists can be absolutely the biggest idiots. I worked maintenance in a laboratory and sometimes I was impressed somebody who can genotype plankton could also tie their own shoes.

You’re a dipshit. Sorry, but I’m fucking sick of arguing with assholes of your ilk. Obviously the Dem stance on Gaza wasn’t great, but you’re either willfully ignorant of so fucking stupid I’m amazed you remember to breathe if you ever for one second believed that Trump would be better for Palestine than Harris. Sometimes intelligent people are forced to pick between the lesser of two evils, but you wouldn’t understand with your “breathe in, breathe out” mental capacity.
Actually, I’m not sorry. Fuck you dude, I hope your cock rota off

Was she working with Hilton instead of Sandals? I can’t seem to find anything about her resort plan being all inclusive though, so you would probably have to pay for food and such.

But hey, Trump’s going to turn Palestine into an all inclusive resort, and the Palestinians will get to stay, right? RIGHT!?
Disingenuous fuckwad

That’s bullshit, I’m working class and the majority of my coworkers are left leaning. And guess what? If a plumber shows up to our job site with a Trump sticker, he doesn’t get to work for us that day and is told why. There are plenty of people with the skills society needs that don’t openly display their hatred.

- Comment on There are some downsides to marriage 2 months ago:
That’s kind of classist ngl, implying that you should only get married if you can afford a two week international vacation?
Or European, but that’s still holding something over my American, married on a beach by my mother in law, right back to work, no honeymoon no money for gifts no vacation time to take anyway ass.
But I understand the sentiment, I’d been with my partner 11 years before we got married, we knew how bad it could get without being the Griswalds

Compared to monarchy/fascism, liberalism is farther towards the center but it does not often cross that line.
