They’re NEETs. Likely live with their parents. May sell odd things here and there to make a buck. Likely invested in cryptos which until recently was enough to get by. Often getting some government gibs like unemployment or disability benef

This is amazing. Now I’d really like to see that Jesus game too.

Yes if you’re obese or inebriated then you shouldn’t sleep next to a baby, but in those cases you’re better off abstaining from food and drink for your own sake anyway.

Giving an infant a feeling of safety when they’re too small to comprehend their environment is not indulgence.

Truly challenging work approached with a deep passion is best done in direct collaboration with others. There’s no replacement for the energy that you find from a desperately hard working team that’s working together in person. I’d estimate

A defenseless child wants nothing more than to sleep next to their parent. Everyone sleeps better.

That’s a reasonable argument and all I can say is that I always try to do what’s right in my own heart. We will see who’s going to hell in the end.

Children are the future. We must protect and elevate them above all. Locking them up did much more harm than good, and it also strained their parents immensely, the people who are in their prime earning years. Old people could have been eve

The number one critique I’ve heard of Elon Musk is that he “doesn’t actually do the things himself”. Yeah, that’s what a business is. That’s what a salary is for. To pay you to do things for other people. He’s good at getting the smartest p

You’ll have to excuse my language: bullshit. We had the data back in 2020 to know that covid wasn’t a huge threat. It was harmful to very old people with existing underlying health issues. The average age of those who died was older than th

Freedom of movement is a human right, and so is freedom of bodily autonomy. Both of these rights were being attacked with increasing and seemingly unending force. It became a moral issue very early on and it wasn’t clear where it would end

Strange how this kind of discussion is now considered “okay” to have. I was attacked for trying to have it in 2020, 2021, and most of 2022 but it seems like 2023 is the year that people will wake up. Too little, too late. The media, especia

Incorrect. Many think the downsides can be mitigated but the fact is that many women over 30, and especially over 35 will struggle with infertility. Methods like IVF may work but you’re often signing up for a year of stress and anxiety for

Reality Labs at Meta is itself a long shot so the employees there are probably used to taking risks.

No, like Exxon and IBM.

They have tens of thousands of top engineers, billions in the bank, half a dozen products used by over a billion people and their main product is ads for people who use the internet. Companies always face existential threats but as far as m

It reminds me of how communists on Twitter will go on about how their job in the forthcoming communist utopia will be to teach part time classes on intersectional poetry and spend the rest of their time wandering the forests to connect with

Everyone knew the stock was overvalued. The stock is now returning to sane levels.

Whatever value Twitter has to provide to the noble pursuit of science is completely unadulterated. Despite rabid fear mongering, Musk hasn’t made it any harder to share or read tweets and that’s the entire feature set of Twitter. It’s the i

You’re young. Things will work out. Trust in time. Also, it sounds like you’re insecure about how much money you’re making. Let me clue you in on something. You’re not making very much money at all. You will realize over time that they’re p

Yeah in most cases the men earn more because they’re more driven towards their careers and how much they earn.

Take a look at Scandinavian countries that have the highest levels of gender equality. When women are given the most freedom, they choose to spend more time raising children than men, and they choose less demanding jobs than men. Women and

The data are very clear. It’s not even a debate. It’s not surprising at all that women find deep value in motherhood.

Typically when women have kids they realize that raising their offspring is more important than maximizing their earnings. I’m sure many would prefer to quit altogether, but many still have to work to make ends meet. On the balance, men don

I understand that what I’m referring to as “left” is something that you don’t consider “left” because you’re left of that. I think this is semantics. However I’m not sure how you’ve figured I’m far right since the only thing I’ve said is th

It seems that everything right of the woke orthodoxy is considered far right, extreme, and conspiratorial by leftists. That doesn’t sound reasonable. So far we’ve discovered that tech companies did indeed manipulate public opinion in favor

Musk has strong opinions about the ongoing culture war. It’s probably a big reason he’s interested in Twitter. And the Republicans are largely aligned with him on many issues. I personally think that the culture war is a more pressing threa
