we totally need to outlaw risk, it'll be great once no one can experience personal responsibility and consequences, that will lead to rational and totally not reckless society, as we're increasingly witnessing today

Reply to comment by Decent_Ear589 in [OC] The percent of American men and women under 35 that have not had sex in the past year by Decent_Ear589
virgin men will claim they're at least doing alright while young women will claim they're virgin to avoid social annoyances
depends on culture, but this one is quite common, specially in less developed places

you can get more reliable answers from a politician than asking people if they have had sex

you're just saying money printing in like 7 alt terms
isnt the point of work to improve things? isnt the point of tech to do more with less? if so, why are things getting harder? population growth? lol
but oh no we can't have a stagnant or deflating currency! that'll make people lazy hoarders! instead we make the currency continually worthless to shake the hoarders off so they hoard housing instead

inflation is like a difficulty setting on life, for most people it gets harder, for a few it gets easier, the former has little say in it while the later is incentivized to keep it rising
its normal for the old to be less broke than the young, but that divide is growing like crazy
so you see hardly anyone dating people their age, 20 something girls aiming for sugar daddies and 20 something boys going for the hookers, perfect matchings for lots of babies

nuclear power
EspHack t1_j61qchj wrote
if you find the actual kwh usage, we've been stuck since the 70's, cuz nuke bad
computers are all the rage because its the only tech that can improve within the same power budget, we dont have supersonic electric planes powered by lasers, efficiency be dammed, because again, nuke baddd
energy would be so cheap our standard of living would make the current one look like the 1700's, our freaking sidewalks/streets would be heated in winter

let me try again
if you're powerful enough to make rich people pay, then you're also the rich people you're trying to tax
money and power are the same thing, its not a just a catchy phrase, money buys politics and politics makes money
