For 1, I don't understand. What do you mean the only difference is money, not time? Are you suggesting compelling payment but withholding visitation rights, contact with the child, etc? For 2, I ask because I was wondering where your

Well, I can't do the impossible and conjure up your specific study. But I can point you to a dearth of studies on the outcomes of unwanted children. The most famous is https://journalistsresource.org/economics/abor

Isn't abortion mentioned in the bible as okay though?

I can explain it to you, and this is backed up by studies. You're forcing a parent to be involved in a child's life when they don't want to be. The person will likely be a force of evil / detriment / abuse in the c

We all end up paying in one way or another. There's a lot of shortsightedness in thinking not paying for something now means you don't pay for it later in terms of the effects on society (higher crime, poor outcomes, etc.).

I disagree, but I get a portion of my view on it from "The Ass Is A Poor Receptacle For The Head: Why Democrats Suck At Communication, And How They Could Improve". ( https://www.amazon.com/Ass-Poor-Receptacle-Head-

There was a post last week where this was debunked. That said, I do hit for the cardio benefits of improving myself instead of thinking it's a weight loss miracle. Almost always I've found the key to weight loss is eat less, nothi

The problem is, considering everything regardless of intention / author would mean wasting a lot of time and energy. In other words, someone is always going to jump up and down for your attention, willing to spew bs (sometimes mixed wi

They did say "my impression", so I'm assuming it's mostly backed up by nothing.

I get worried too. I had untreated sleep apnea for upwards of 10 years (age 13 - 23). Each night my oxygen dropped to 85% or lower (this is what they recorded in the sleep study), and I woke up literally every minute for 10 seconds or mor

Yeah, I remember a study they did with music where they separated groups and in each group different bands would come to dominate based on luck (whoever got momentum first). Wish I could find it, it was quite a time ago.

I'm absolutely convinced that copyright is holding back progress at this point. It's only ever wielded by giant corporations, despite folks arguing it's to protect the little folks.

Very much agree. That and they don't realize they're leaving money / benefits on the table due to pride.

What does trickle down have to do with Musk losing money to others though? Right now, it's trickle down hoping he'll do something with it. Like you said, it's a failed hypothesis.

Why would it cause job losses? Wouldn't others be able to hire due to the money transferring to them?

From what I've read, they're obligated to accept that sort of offer for their shareholders.

I'm similar to you. I'm worried that if I don't leave soon I may get rounded up post 2024. Others may be willing to take a chance, I'm not.

If you want a good series that's more "realistic" but along the same lines of interesting cat / mouse play, check out the John Rain series by Barry Eisler. It's extremely, meticulously well researched. Oh, and it&#

Literally talking to you and trying to get you convinced that things are at stake is doing something. I'm also active in my local community trying to change things. Why can't I do both? It's not one or the other. That'

Okay, I will make a note to reply to you again when these things come to pass. At some point, you have to admit that the "hysterical speculation" is really just foresight given current events. Will you admit it then? I honestly a

It's not about making it illegal, it's that IVF typically results in more fertilized embryos than are kept. So like you said, the pro-life folks would force every single one to be kept.

Honestly, if the Supreme Court had ruled unborn children as having rights beyond this I could take you seriously, but they literally have nothing beyond the right to a womb. Do they count in the census? Can I say they're a dependent?
