Wow it’s exclusively the worst people. Frankly at this point I don’t really care strongly one way or another about the fertility crisis. My future is fucked regardless. I do find it mildly amusing though the these people sperg out so much over the fact that their Ponzi schemes could come to and end.

You people fucked my future and you want me to save that of yours and your family’s? lmao

I bet you’re one of the same dumbasses who fell hook, line and sinker for the cold fusion fraud a few years back lmao.

It clearly does not work. Nearly half the country lacks the self stewardship to not eat themselves into obesity. And I have to pay the externalities for you fat fucks.

> There also seems to be a huge fear of submitting “something” that’s not good enough where the preference seems to be “nothing” if they’re worried it’s not good enough.

Companies are still undergoing massive layoff and you have to compete with the entire world now. Of course they’re going to be particular about perfection and not giving off any signals that they could see painting them in a poor light.

It helps keep you safe. This man is a known IRA terroir and drug/arms trafficker.

Did I just pull that out of my ass? Yes! Doesn’t matter. To the right (and quite sizable) audience it is the truth.

The problem of democracy indeed. Many of these people now yearn to be peasants too. A simpler life for a simpler mind. Perhaps they should be given what they want.

Indeed. Of course if you don’t have enough money for a boat: You drown.

It took a disease killing a massive portion of the working population to weaken feudalism in Western Europe.

And don’t underestimate the portion of population that yearn to be peasants.

Almost certainly a degenerate amphetamine addict and a pedophile.
There can be no justice while the streets remain unpainted with the blood of these scum.

Best they can do is more adware in windows. Sorry.

> I’ve noticed it California since legalization use has skyrocketed and everyday intelligence seems to have gone through the floor.

True, but I’m still outperforming the raised by iPad kids entering the workforce now. Any intelligence I’ve lost was not going towards anything that mattered anyway.

I do this a lot. It’s usually a pretty embarrassing pause but usually happens when my mind blanks mid sentence or I start talking again after an interruption.

Then again, I’ve never been able to speak well. I feel like my thoughts go too fast for my mouth.
