    The childless circles have this preconceived stereotype that life stops the moment you have kids for the next 20 years. What they don’t understand is that life doesn’t stop when you have kids, having kids is a part of life. Creating your own children, raising them, and watching them is in of itself a joy even if it is hard work. Parenting isn’t misery and having kids doesn’t mean you don’t have time to enjoy what you like.

    Unfortunately a lot of times it’s not a joke. These people genuinely think they’re superior to parents, and a lot of them genuinely hate kids and those who chose to have them. It’s a rotten mindset to it’s core that built on hatred of preconceived stereotypes. It’s something that’s irrational in both logic and the emotions that it evokes. It’s literally a new form of bigotry.

    People like you should be the default. You made your choice and you respect other people who made theirs. You understand other people have their own reasons that are different than yours. That’s normal, that’s healthy. It means you’re secure enough in the decisions you’ve made to not go around trying to justify it to yourself by pretending you’re better than other people. As much as I would like to believe that people like you are the silent majority, I’m finding that more and more difficult to believe with just how prevalent these smug childless people are becoming in society.

    These virtual assistants are entirely a sham to artifically drive up stock value. This is how it works:

    • Company A is big tech that invested billions of dollars building up a LLM model that nobody asked for to increase it’s stock value
    • Company A incorporates its AI model into all of its products even if nobody wants them to, once again, artificially increase the stock price
    • When company A runs out of places in its own products to shove the AI, it moves over to company B where it does everything in its power to convince them get the AI and incorporate it into everything
    • Company B sees company A’s sham and wants in, and so it buys the AI and smears its feces on all its products to artificially inflate its own stock price.
    • When Company B is exhausted, company A moves on to company C, D, E, and so on and so forth.

    In the end all the companies, or more specifically, all the executives, win in the short term by making billions upon billions by artificially increasing stock prices and thus creating a bubble. They’re the only winners. Regular employees at these companies still get treated like shit, consumers are getting much worse products, and the economy is doomed to another recession due to their actions… but that won’t stop them because they know the people won’t do shit, the government is in their pockets and won’t stop them, and if a recession does really happen, they’re confident they’ll get bailed out.

    The very first “real” water war is going to break out in Central Asia within the next few years. Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Turkmenistan are ALL having major water scarcity issues, they all rely on water intensive crops and industries to fuel their economies, they’re all trying to ramp up production despite being on the brink, they’ve all had decades of mismanagement, and a lot of their water sources are shared. In other words, these countries are so authoritarian, so corrupt, and their water resources are so horribly mismanaged that things are actually looking really bleak over there. If I was a betting man I would bet that the next major war is going to start there.



  • I hate the people who get those shitty bluetooth speakers and blast them in public. The people who blast music from their phone’s speakers are assholes, but you could still say that they don’t have headphones on them, but the people with the speakers? They intentionally went out of their way to buy a device for the purpose of being a public nuisance. They’re a special of asshole.


  • I don’t worship youtubers, I’m just not braindead enough to deny reality because of my myopic personal preferences. This guy has a 110 million subscribers and his every video has been getting millions of views for well over a decade now. He is one of the biggest and most well known people on the internet, and he has a lot of influence because of it. When this guy puts out a video about a cause, his point of view is going to introduced and adopted by a lot of people. In this case, he put out a video on a cause that people in here advocate for, and they’re pleasantly surprised that their views are getting this kind of exposure. You not understanding this obvious nuance is your problem, not anybody else’s.

    “I’m incapable of understanding the nuance of someone with a lot of influence speaking out in favor of a topic I advocate for because I’m ignorant and judgemental towards certain activities and people who make a living off of them”

    Yeah okay, bud. Good mentality you got there. But you’re right, this conversation is pointless, so let’s end it here.
