You do realize that upvotes/downvotes are just populism in action and time and time again people have been proven to be dumb? I mean look at America.

Assuming that kids living in poorer parts of the world are neglected. Spoken like someone who has never once faced adversity in life.

The state isn’t going to be there for you either and your parents will be long dead and your siblings if you have them? Grab bag of maybe.
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 1 week ago:
You are sooooo limited in your thinking it’s really a shame. You don’t even know the conditions some people live in even in dense urban areas like Toronto while still having kids.
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 1 week ago:
Go into any rural and/or poor area in America or Canada and you’ll find poor uneducated people and they’re having kids just fine even in wealthy countries with a lot of environmental factors pushing against it.
It’s a matter of want. Own your decision don’t blame it on external factors. If you want to blame external factors for your not having kids you’re weak. My girlfriend is Kenyan. She has a 11 year old son back home she hasn’t seen in a year. She had a kid in a small rural town halfway around the world and moved to Canada to make a better life for her and her family. You know what she’s never done? Push blame outwards.
Yes, structurally we can be doing a lot better to make it easier and more attractive for people to have kids but that was and is not my point. My point is if you want kids just fucking do it. The reward far outweighs the risk and long term you’re going to be much, much better off because you’ve just grown your team.

The world has always been fucked. The question is do you bend over and take it or do you fight for positive change?
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 1 week ago:
GenX actually (48) and I have 3 kids I tell them I love them daily. 2 are on the spectrum and 1 realistically will never become an independent adult.
Your comment reeks of someone who grew up entitled and has never learned how to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.
Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 1 week ago:
Lol uneducated does not mean dumb.
I stand by what I said.
The future lies in those “uneducated” people.
Everything about this whole thread screams privileged white people who haven’t known an ounce of struggle in their lives and all of a sudden things get a little tight that they can’t buy butter instead of margarine and holy hell the sky is falling!
This is why all my friends now are immigrants lol.

And we are allowed to disagree. That doesn’t however make your opinion any more valid. You can’t hold hands when you make fists.
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 2 weeks ago:
Yes.
I was watching a YouTube video yesterday with Jimmy Carr and I think he summarized it perfectly.
As humans we are amazing at quantifying all the negatives around having kids (costs, time constraints, behaviour changes) but we struggle at quantifying the positives (purpose, accountability, pride, humility).
My regret is having kids later in life and not in my early 20’s. The little secret we all know is you’re never ready for kids. You either dive in or you don’t. After that? In for a penny, in for a pound.
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 2 weeks ago:
Yes you can. People do it all over the world.
- Comment on Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts 2 weeks ago:
This new generation of child-free people better be damn well aware that when they get old they are absolutely fucked. The state isn’t going to be there for them and IF they have a SO great but even then shit happens.
The future is going to be bleak.

Yes. Pwd change should only be on evidence of compromise assuming you have made a secure password.

Security is all theatre. When NIST says make secure passwords and never change them but your fortune 500 infosec policy tells you to rotate your password every 30 days?
LOL

I have win11 on a work surface laptop pro with 16gb and I’m consistently at 15+GB used. This is corporate bloat. How do I know? I have a personal surface pro 6 with win11 and 16gb and it runs like a breeze.
Corporate bloat is such bullshit.

- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 5 weeks ago:
A fun reminder that during the pandemic, before AI, there was a backlog in new cars because all the crucial chips were unavailable due to an increase in bullshit like wifi enabled toasters.
It has nothing to do with AI. Consumers are asking for this shit and companies are delivering.

Meh it’s all semantics. I consider myself middle class and I make almost 200$k a year. I have more in common with the homeless guy at the go train station than I do with the CIO of my company.
I wish more people were this way. It’s why I still prefer taking public transit. It grounds me. I’d rather be around people struggling to get by than those who have never known what it’s like to put hotdogs in your mac & cheese.
