A Trader? Like the Day kind? Or the Joe kind? /s

Someone missed an opportunity with that headline....

Then I hope you get norovirus!

I had a friend once who caught a bug that made him do this. He said the best thing he could do was lay naked in the tub with the shower on... Shitting and puking.

Sounds like a bad time....

Edit: spelling

I want to downvote this, because I hate how true it is. Take my upvote and gtfo.

Oh, for sure! Yeah, reddit can be mad sometimes, lol. But I didn't take your comment harsh at all. :-). I found it an informative and valuable comment, but not hash. I did, however, notice that my original comment had some down votes, so I wanted to add some clarification and additional context for all the other Redditors reading this thread. I was unsure if you did or did not think I was advocating forcing people into childbirth - but I realized that there was a risk that other readers might. My reply was both to you and to the general public at large. Thank you for the conversation. Cheers!

I agree with everything that you said. If you got the impression that I was somehow rationalizing forcing people into childbirth, I most definitely was not. If that's how it came across, that was a miscommunication on my part.

My only point was that the entire topic is something that is not only unique to humans as a species, but is also unique to humans of the modern age.

I also agree - comprehensive sex education is also very important and something we should provide to every young person.

On the one hand, I completely agree with your points. On the other hand, I can't help but think that for all of human history, before modern medicine, the suffering that you describe was the default and only option for humans. Biology can be cruel and unfair. Evolution is a sloppy engineer.

I view the right to choose, provided by modern medicine, to be a gift that we (as humans) have empowered ourselves with. No woman (or anybody involved) takes abortions all willy-nilly - - they're very serious and often emotionally painful experiences. But allowing them is the right thing.

I just can't help but think that the notion of "forcing" people into childbirth is strictly a modern notion that only exists because of the medical advancements that we've made that allow for a safe abortion.

Yeah, the art of War really is cliffs notes about warfare.

Don't have time to get a PhD in warfare and augment that with 20 years of experience and hard learned lessons? Read these fortune cookie tidbits Instead! You'll be an expert in no time! /s

/s because The Art of War is quite excellent. And I know the "fortune cookie tidbits" might come across as racist, but that was meant not meant to mock the Chinese or Chinese Culture (fortune cookies are an Americanism anyway) , it was meant mock people who look at The Art of War as cheesy "foreigner" soundbites that can be easily disregarded (its not, thus I mock them).

My point is that, (a) despite how good the art of war is, it's meant to augment a life long learning quest on the topic, not supplant it and (b) some people do consider it cheesey, disposable, "fortune cookie" quality junk, which it certainly is not.

Set up a web server and then check your http logs. My web server gets "attacked" probably 2 or 3 DOZEN times A DAY. It's usually just automated scanning tools looking for well known WordPress vulnerabilities (I'm not running WordPress), but it's there. Turn on RRP RDP, and you'll see someone hitting your server ONCE A SECOND, and this will go on indefinitely.

If you check the source IPs, they're commonly Russia, or China, but I don't really trust those source IPs to be accurate - the attackers could be going through a proxy. The RDP attacks look like they're coming from a bot net, because each second the IP shifts to a different country.

Edit: fixed a typo

It's a big ask that's really "hard on" clinics trying to meet it.

You are correct. But in attion.... For any given search, there are only so many folks available for a search party. So what are you going to do... Put half on the day shift when they can see well and the chances of rescue are higher and half on the night shift when chances are lower? Of course not... Put them all on the day shift when chances are higher, further boosting your chances of finding. And humans are humans, they can't work 24 hours for multiple days in a row... They gotta sleep. So let them sleep when the chances of discovery are diminished.

This is reddit man, it's a little wild. And sometimes people like to dogpile on down votes. Maybe a joke with bad deliver that didn't land right quite right, but you didn't say anything malicious or jerkish. You're good by me.

Between this and the recent east coast storms... This is basically "the day after tomorrow". That movie was sensationalized, but it was based on a book called "the global superstore", whose premise was that climate change would trigger a series of giant ass storms world wide. Granted, the book was pseudo-science at best, but it is what we're seeing.

But before that, they'll see The Olympic Games in Berlin, hosted by Hitler.

Well, he's not on Twitter... Have you tried your local Sketches store? I heard he shows up there unannounced sometimes...

All these dad jokes are bologna.

Yeah. The $3000 hooker bots request a cab fee...

Sir, you can cut a hole in a cantelope right now.

ahem.... Then you're a gay fish!

I love that it was by way of iNaturalist. I was introduced to iNaturalist by a stranger I bumped into in the ocean this past summer. I'm addicted now.

And soon to be coming from Fox News.
