@Hughposting @bronzeagemantis You are correct. The thing many of these fools don’t realize is that the idea of limiting higher education to achieve a TFR of those who don’t reach post secondary, is as ridiculous as lowering education standards, in order that Tyrone’s new PhD makes him invent the next iPhone.

Pro-natalists are full of advice: "Get married young." "Have more kids than you can afford." You'll be happier, they say. But is any of that true? I reviewed the data Link below:

@davepl1968 Best part of having a computer lab was of course putting Unreal Tournament on a USB drive, and taking advantage of the huge LAN.

I taught the elementary kids' computer lab at the local elementary school for about ten years. By about fourth grade, the kids vary widely in PC ability. You'll have one kid porting Doom and one kid crying because CAPS LOCK is on and he can't log in. One kid trying to eat toner while another fixes the projector. A lot of that is comfort - you can tell some kids use a PC at home a great deal while others have seemingly no exposure. Does it matter? No idea! I understand limiting screen time and so on, but sometimes kids who genuinely have a knack for it are being held back by good intentions! When I sold my company, we donated all the extra PCs and monitors to the school... a couple of dozen Dell Dimension 4200s and so on. Absolutely required for any mid-2000s computer lab!

The kids today don’t know the dopamine rush of going to the computer lab

@AustenJ248855 @RokoMijic The need of a car to do absolutely anything, will mean that the environment will be non human scale. Hard to imagine something worse than a new-build monozone wasteland.

@Philenose okay but so what? Everything that matters is online. The one downside is the lack of nature nearby.

@DrMichaelBonner The problem with this approach is, of course, the inevitable unlucky roll of the dice, which will give us a Caligula and Nero instead of a Hadrian and Trajan.

@zarathustra5150 Considering there is only a two party system, they’re basically guaranteeing any backlash will translate into support of their one and only opponent, even though they’re out in the wilderness, bereft of ideas.

@zarathustra5150 I’m on the outside looking in, but it seems to me that all those policies and positions, that the American right hoped for after the election, have evaporated. Instead there’s a neocon parody, crypto scams, torpedoing of relations, “own the libs”. Opposite of the Midas Touch.

If the midterms turn into the bloodbath they’re shaping up to be, one faint silver lining is the prospect of Trump’s impeachment and removal. At this rate, even two years of Vance would seem infinitely preferable to Trump’s ongoing carnival of self-sabotaging idiocy.

If Vance is responsible for peace negotiations, AI policy, and now government fraud elimination, why don’t we just make him President instead of letting the Trump family grift the nation into oblivion and prosecute Jew wars?

@thrashdeep @kamilkazani Another great interaction. Ever since temporary refugees from your country have come to my neighborhood, I’ve gotten to enjoy seeing the local kids park filled with beer bottles and garbage, and the refugees stage protests about your war. Want a different image? Act civilized.

You see, I lived through all these pre-war years in the Russophone space. And I remember the general vibe of imbecile bully smugness (we are stronger & do whatever we want). Look at white housers, and you will see what I mean Fundamentally, yes, it's primarily Russia's fault

@thrashdeep @kamilkazani Thing is, it doesn’t matter much to me how Ukrainians take this information, or how I look to them, but it matters a lot to you how others see you. Anyone who’s grown up around both people will tell you that there isn’t much of a difference. A war doesn’t really change that.

@Philenose @kamilkazani Your statements are just typical Western style bs, they are partially true in a superficial context like food, shared linguistic heritage, corruption, but deeply wrong regarding mentality and approach to life. Stop doing that, you are looking like an idiot to Ukrainians.

@DeliDictator69 @curtis_yarvin At least something came of SLS, even if the cost was astronomical compared to the resulting system. There is definitely a timeline where this was all for nought. Very thin silver lining.

For the record, I have many critiques of SLS and Orion. And yeah, the whole DEI crew emphasis is gay. Whatever The reason to celebrate is simple: for the first time since 1972, humans are leaving low earth orbit. Space exploration is based imo. I’m celebrating it as a salient milestone on our path to space colonization. I also think it’s a signal that we’re shrugging off the cultural malaise of the last few decades; we are rediscovering our appetite for conquering new territory and the risk that comes with it. If that doesn’t resonate with you, fine. We’re still going to colonize space regardless. The heavens are Western Civilization’s birthright.

@Dawance @unusual_whales NASA has nothing to do with this. The program is mandated by legislators as a way to fund projects on a local level through the likes of ULA.

@unusual_whales Are Americans realizing what a waste of taxpayer money this is???? NASA could have outsourced everything to SpaceX for much cheaper and much better tech. Dumbasses at NASA with big ass egos wasting our money.

@thrashdeep @kamilkazani Similarly, the fact that the American colonists and supporters of the British crown were basically the same people, doesn’t change the fact that they fought multiple wars against each other, and formed two different political systems.

@thrashdeep @kamilkazani The mannerisms, speech, mentality, psychological complexes, and approach to life between a typical Ukrainian and Russian are very similar. The fact that they inhabit mutually hostile polities doesn’t change that.

@vulpesvulpes9 @eugyppius1 This problem goes beyond just the man alone. He is just the personification of a movement that looks increasingly favourable on what we can broadly call “third worldism”. His passing will still leave all the Hungarian/Christ is King obsessives in groups of right wing influence.

@stephen_taylor Air Canada has paying customers 22% of who are Quebeckers. Maybe it is not a requirement to be bilingual but shareholders would be interested in the president not being pigheaded fool enough to alienate that 22%.
