Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

  • Trump and musk show many traits of psychopaths, who tend to have a lot of children.

  • When standards of living rise, birthrates drop.

    Western countries, japan & korea all have low birthrates and all developed them as av. income rose. China too but one-child made it a less clear example. Even within a society, middle and upper classes have smaller families than the working class.

    Declining birthrates can't be fixed by improving living standards, but that's fine because low birthrate is a good thing - a sign of a society doing well.

    If a high income/low birthrate society needs more citizens, immigration from low income/high birthrate areas is the only viable option. Endless expansion is a fools errand anyway.

  • He is not a republican asset, he's just a member of the ruling class. He's representing his class interest, not ours.

  • I do think it's a bad idea, even as someone who saves sex for committed relationships.

    • A lifelong commitment to a potentially disappointing physical relationship doesn't seem like a great plan.
    • Before sex, there's a lot of incentive to present your best self. Afterwards people are a more comfortable presenting more of who they are.
    • You learn a lot about someone's priorities, self-control, receprocity, hang ups, etc.

    But if it works for you, don't let others talk you out of it.

  • I wonder how much breaking up the trump-epstein ring lowered the fertility rate of 15-19 year olds.

  • I think there's a chance this was the plan all along and the 'ceasefire' was just a PR ploy to avoid having to admit the tuesday 8pm deadline was just a bad bluff that everyone saw through.

    Of course it's entirely possible that the us regime did desperately want the ceasefire to work and was just too stupid to realize that israel won't stop until they've created a crippling humanitarian crisis in iran.

  • Who's afraid of virginia woolf at portland playhouse.

    It was incredible, as that play always is. The male lead outperformed the female lead, which i feel is less common than vice versa, but everyone was great.

  • Don't ask

    Ughhhh

    It goes...

    Well i'm here (for work related garbage)

  • Any such article is a lie, those assholes knew exactly what they were doing. Most of the fascist majority on the court are active participants in the coup that brought this regime to power, the rest are sympathizers.

  • We definitely didn't, the rich did.

    Our system was never designed to represent the wishes of the people. And it doesn't.

  • The apathy of many us citizens to the idea that their government could possibly matter to them is a direct result of a massive legal, and influence campaign by far right elites, their representatives in government and their allies overseas. A functional state is supposed to have institutions to combat that.

    The effectiveness of the current far right coup is a failure of our institutions, and the low participation of many in the US is a symptom of that failure, not a cause.

  • 30% of the adult population voted for him.

    We're not even a democracy, there's literally no way he could represent anyone but the rich.

  • Looks great! Those potatoes look amazing as does the hollandaise. Have you tried making hollandaise with a little dill?

    There's one brunch place here where the hollandaise is just miles better than anything i'd ever had, all others now seem bland in comparison. It was so good i forgot that hollandaise doesn't normally have dill and started whinging about why places keep forgetting to add dill.

  • The best bits of 30 rock are when they make fun of how genuinely bad snl is most of the time.

  • He was a shitbag and he ruined barrens chat.

  • What are the chances that someone got it to mine bitcoin, probe internal networks and make a reverse ssh tunnel, then lied about or covered up their shady instructions?

    I presume we can rule that out if it got to livescience?

  • Right after he won best supporting actor as well.
