@AtlasRedux @grok @SajjadSDA @Write4Republic Damn you kinda got fried ngl

@grok @SajjadSDA @Write4Republic Sorry. I misunderstood then.

Atheism is 100% a religion.

@zodysid @NetAxisGroup @alphafox Fr, it’s as easy as increasing all food and drink costs by 20% for dine in customers. No loss to the owners as long as it’s standardized, and then the customer just doesn’t get a choice. Don’t like it? Eat at home:)

@NetAxisGroup @alphafox Then the businesses need to pay its workers fair wages, not rely on customers tips.

Tipping should be optional:

@morten_m36545 @NetAxisGroup @alphafox Then why do you support said business?

@NetAxisGroup @alphafox If the boss can't pay their salery They should not have a business

@Roo13_60 @pwuranium @elyasmoreno @alphafox Tbh I think they should just increase the cost of all food items by 20%, staff keeps 20% of all income from the service location, and just normalize the prices over time. Take the choice away, and see if people prefer that.

@pwuranium @elyasmoreno @alphafox Yes, a tip does not mean "oh here you showed up for work today!"

@TheFightGallery @TheOfficerTatum I mean to be fair it’s awesome that we’re able to make jokes about all the shit you “shouldn’t” make jokes about. It’s comedy, nothing is off limits, or everything is.

@TheOfficerTatum The Kimmel effect now we will hear jokes about killing righties or mocking the dead ones.

DISGRACEFUL: Pete Davidson made a disgusting Charlie Kirk joke at Kevin Hart’s roast. "Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, and that's he's definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat.” That wasn’t comedy. That was vile and completely beneath the belt.

@BlitheringGenX @anna71879298 @ThrillaRilla369 On top of this, you aren’t accounting for the difference in societal norms around parenting. Most would deem it irresponsible at best for someone to have a child while living on a dirt floor in America, whereas that’s normalized and acceptable in more impoverished countries.

@BlitheringGenX @anna71879298 @ThrillaRilla369 You’re also treating poverty in a traditional/high-fertility society like it works the same as financial pressure in a modern low-fertility society. It doesn’t.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this?

@BlitheringGenX @anna71879298 @ThrillaRilla369 It also has to do with the fact that in Mali or Afghanistan children are looked at as caregivers for parents once parents are unable to care for themselves. Simply put I think that it’s just more beneficial to have children in a third world country then a first world country

@Mikey2XMikey @anna71879298 @ThrillaRilla369 Yeah, so the cause of low fertility is education, birth control, etc., not a lack of resources. It is modernity. Kids are obviously not "too expensive". If they were too expensive in the US, they'd be way too expensive in Mali or Afghanistan.

@GreatLakerLargo @fearlessdagod @ThrillaRilla369 This is correct, however this source is also including those that are stillbourne, miscarriages, etc. I also don’t really know if I would consider like, drug addiction or other causes of termination to necessarily be abortion, though could def make an argument that it is.

@Mikey2XMikey @fearlessdagod @ThrillaRilla369 Wouldnt the GenZ population consist of live births?

@KenGWiebe @ThrillaRilla369 This is probably a part of it but sex will always still happen. I think it’s more so birth control, higher levels of education, and severe financial hardship in the population still viable, capable, and young enough to have kids safely.

@ThrillaRilla369 My guess is that low fertility rates are because people are having sex less. Or is that just me?

@Michell09971295 @ThrillaRilla369 Even if we believe the Covid vaccine is evil shit, can’t really apply it to this one cleanly. Birth rates in the US have been steadily dropping since 2007 during the Great Recession. This leads to a strong correlation between young people, lack of money, and falling birth rates

@ThrillaRilla369 The covid jab...I believe it left folks sterile

@GreatLakerLargo @fearlessdagod @ThrillaRilla369 30% is a bit misleading tbh. Better to compare abortions to live births instead of abortions to current gen Z population as it is more academically honest, and puts your number to around 16%. But yes, it’s is a factor, obviously not as big as income, education, and later marriage

@fearlessdagod @ThrillaRilla369 I agree that total births are down, I just also believe that 30% of Gen Z being aborted might be a significant factor.

@BlitheringGenX @anna71879298 @ThrillaRilla369 true, but in those parts of the world access to education and birth control are limited. While impoverished areas of America do have educational issues, it’s not comparable to the parts of the world you’re referring to. Americans are smart enough to know kids are too expensive

@anna71879298 @ThrillaRilla369 It's a nice story, except it's completely false. Some extremely poor parts of the world have high fertility. Our ancestors had 5 kids in a one-room shack with a dirt floor.

@AmanSheikhKhan @CuriosityonX Single greatest photograph ever taken

@CuriosityonX Well, there is life on this dot Can you see that 👀🧐

There must be life on one of these dots

@CodyThomas1776 @CuriosityonX Well, you’re right that there isn’t life on one of those dots. They’re fucking stars. But it’s almost a guarantee there’s another intelligent species out there. Eh whatever, aliens are less scary then the idea that it really is just us in this universe

@CuriosityonX Nope. The likelihood of another planet like Earth is practically zero.

@allenanalysis no point in him running for a third time, he’d alienate his conservative base and get beat out by a primary canadate, probably Vance. Look Trump had a decent run but that shit is fragmenting fast. If you want a republican in office you need vance to appear more moderate.

JUST IN: A Trump judicial nominee was asked point blank: is Trump eligible to run for a third term? Their answer: “I would have to review the actual wording…” Sen. Chris Coons then asked every nominee in the room to confirm the Constitution bars a third term. Silence. Every single one of them refused to say it. Trump is appointing judges who won’t affirm the 22nd Amendment to his face. Never stop connecting the dots.

@JacobFrenb4k1 @cwebbonline I gotta admit, you’re pretty accurate with this one. Usually I’ve noticed conservative tend to fall for this shit more often than liberals (qanon and shi), but I guess both sides really are susceptible. I think we’re all pretty much the same and both sides just have radicals

Bravo to this dude for pulling this together in just a couple of hours. Interesting stuff.

@JainDisappears @NickJFreitas Can’t even lie that looks pretty badass

You want gun control? Ok…how about if you routinely vote Democrat you shouldn't be allowed to own a gun. I'm pretty sure that would reduce gun related crime by 90% and assassination attempts by about 100%

@notyourgoi @kaizen000000000 That’s a valid point, buts it’s also foolish to rule out the possibility of it’s just being a mix of chaos+time=all possible outcomes, which could totally include a god, or could not. I like to believe in something though, is comforting

@kaizen000000000 It’s arrogant to think that there isn’t a higher intelligent creator, it’s honestly kinda stupid, to many great coincidences along a very long time, the debate should be who god is not is there one… if knowledge is arrogance then we’re doomed

Tell me again that believers/religious people are not arrogant... Alex o'connor 💯❤️
