He’s been in a feud with his legislature over immigration bullshit. Truly an inspiring and commanding leader.

The real problem is how we use our resources, not how big our population is.

Comedy gold, except for everyone who has to try and shop at a Walgreens.

It really is a tale as old as time.

Proof of the value of looking beyond the most base layer of news. You’ll make it easy to be fed a narrative that fits the elites worldview.

Yeah I had a huge laugh, this is just gonna suck for the people who get suckered into it.

Black Beans, Yogurt (a truly ungodly amount), rice, cheese, and red lentils. I’ve been trying to cut back on meat consumption last year, it didn’t work perfectly but I’ve made a dent and reaped some health benefits from it too. I’d highly recommend you all try to get more beans in your diet, I’ve become quite the evangelist for legumes this year.

Our society already does effectively nothing to reconcile people’s conflicting schedules. Nor did it attempt to resolve this before the rise of the dual income household. You can see this is in the amount of media that portrays children’s trauma from fathers that are “too busy” being a breadwinner to be present in their life. Children want, and NEED all members of their family involved in their life. So I don’t think that the rise of women in the workforce deprived families in any unique way. Instead, I’d argue that it simply divided that neglect between two people. It’s not “good enough” to have one parent there 24/7 and another who exists to put food on their table and otherwise barely exists in their social life. They need to interact with their father, with their mother, with their uncles, aunts and grandparents. It’s simply rational socialization. I think there is a legitimate argument to be made for a “max workhours per household” instead of per person, instead of trying to divide households into a labourer at home and a labourer at large.

You are not supposed to downvote “unpopular opinions” because you disagree with them folks. That is not how this sub is supposed to work. OP posted a legitimately unpopular opinion, tell him why he’s wrong or upvote responses that disagree, don’t downvote him.

For my two cents OP, I think you have a point about more time needing to be devoted to child rearing. But I disagree that it needs to be a specific parent. If you reduce both parents workload enough to let them balance life responsibilities that’s actually BETTER than letting one parent take up all the slack. We require simply TOO much labor from EVERYONE, it’s totally unnecessary and wasteful and it’s part of what leads to our culture of burnout.

Stands for “Dual Income No Kids”.

so nobody feels ‘trapped’ in an unfun game.

I think this is an understated problem. It’s simply awful to be in a slowly losing multiplayer game that you feel you have no control over, and when you also simultaneously feel that you aren’t playing with people you care about. It’s pretty easy to start not caring about monitoring your behavior. After all, who cares if everyone in this lobby thinks you’re annoying or awful to deal with, you will never see them again, and if you do they won’t recognize you, so act out your frustration without fear of real consequences. I also don’t think bans for “bad behavior” actually address the reason people behave this way, it just encourages them to hide it in more subtle ways that automated scripts can’t detect, or that give them some plausible deniability.

To an extent, think work friends versus the kinda friends you meet at a concert, or at the gym. It’s not necessarily a “different” personality as much as shifting behavior and topics a bit. In short, I’m gonna talk a little different around my young engineering friends vs the guys I’ve known since high school.

It makes me deeply uncomfortable to entertain the thought that “the paper towel industry” is an entity out to manipulate me.
