This is the fucking truth. It is also a very easy solution, most people want children, it is baked into our genes. It is just when the countries of the world have made the rules like they are now. That encourages ans premieres the hoarding of wealth into the hands of very VERY few. At the expence of exploiting everyone else and the planet. It makes human civilization a dystopia not worth saving, and not wanting to put children thru this meat grinder, in order to enrich some asshole, is very normal and compassionate.

Make rules that are fair, and protects the planet. at the expence of some billionares having to be millioneres. And I bet most people would love to have children.

Awesome. Met the wife on IRCnet, shortly after the great split.

I think that is 2 sides of the same coin. 24/7 social media. Is the result of the loss of third places, and personal freedom to roam. Ofcourse everyone beeing a mobile survailance tower with their smartphones does not help either.

Same. Before it was a mess of various wine tricks to get things working, now it is very easy.
Also the great return policy! Can buy, try, return if it does not work. Steam is really knocking it out of the park, when compared to everything else.

Same story in norway. Just in my kids lifetime the glacier have recesses over five hundred meters. https://glacier.nve.no/Glacier/viewer/CI/en/nve/ClimateIndicatorInfo/2297?name=Nigardsbreen

They can not possibly ban using ip? That is wild. With the amount of CGNAT beeing used, hundreds of people can be behind a single ip.

While that may be true. The filter bubble is also a very real thing.
Social media sites earn their money by your attention. And try to keep it as long as possible, with all the tricks in the books, and some they invented.
So when someone belives something. They search about it. And belive they have done research. When they find what the site belive keeps them engaged.

The science is not conclusive tho. Perhaps i am in a bubble… messes with the head…

There is a wast difference between the internet. That gives you access to information. And social media with algoriths fine tuned to keep you there as long as possible.
Cameras everywhere is for sure a disaster for anyones sanity and development.
