  I have a single child and I regret bringing him into this hell hole planet. I strongly believe that we are on the verge of ecological ruin. The oceans are overfished and becoming dangerously acidic. Drinkable water is being depleted. Soil nutrients are declining. Fascism is rising rapidly. We’re on the wrong side of the Hubbert curve, so everything is going to get progressively more expensive. Food production will drop as we lose the inputs for the Haber Bosch process. The decline will not be linear and some of the tipping points are already in our rear view mirror.

  The cost of housing is just one of many reasons why people might not want children, although normalcy bias hides the truth from many.

  Just wait until they are Gen X age. Decades of this beating, still no real political power, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. I can’t wait to lose my job to an AI that can’t actually do what I do, so that I can starve to death like some pathetic Dostoevsky character.

  Can we keep me safe from Pinterest? I would really like to exclude it from my search results on a permanent basis without having to explicitly filter it in my query.

  Waiting for “you said starving children is evil,” so we’re cancelling your social security for anti-Semitism.

  “I didn’t say anything about Jews or Israel.”

  “Bullshit, we all know Israel is starving Palestinians children.”

  “I was talking about defunding free and reduced lunches for American school children.”

  “Doesn’t matter, anti-Republican comments also warrant a cancellation of your social security.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A cancer diagnosis can cause out-of-pocket costs to surge, even for those with insurance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From the department of duh?

  My employer has over 100k employees, and our insurance is pretty typical for a big US company. I hit my out of pocket maximum ($7500) two years in a row after my wife’s cancer diagnosis. I am certain that I am in the minority in being able to afford an unexpected $15,000 expense. It sucked for me and changed a bunch of plans. Many people would probably find themselves servicing an additional difficult debt at one of the most difficult moments of their life.

  If you don’t have insurance, I don’t know what you would do. The total bills were hundreds of thousands of dollars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the reasons i don’t make policy decisions: my solution yo the antivax problem is to develop a bioweapon and a corresponding vaccine. Secretly add the new vaccine into all other vaccines for two years. Warn people that the coming flu season is going to be bad and that a new dangerous strain of covid is spreading to increase vaccination rates. Then deploy the bioweapon. No more antivaxxers.

  I think about when I played Sims and would delete the bathroom and door from my Sim’s house and watch him suffer. I feel like I am getting karmic payback these days. I’m sorry Sim dude, I didn’t think of you as anything but interesting binary data and was amused by your suffering. I have a lot more sympathy and empathy for you these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you mean it will ducking correct…

  I turned mine off completely because it has bo comprehension of when an apostrophe is appropriate in front of the letter s. Forever making words possessive that were intended to be plural. Apostrophes do not mean “look out, here comes an s.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would not be surprised if autocorrect was a major culprit along with phone keyboards. You can type something correctly and have autocorrect make it wrong. It’s also super easy to get the wrong letter if you have normal sized hands and are typing on a phone keyboard. I have turned autocorrect completely off and am significantly less error prone as a result.

  I frequently decide against correcting an error if I think my intention is clear, and I am in a hurry. I don’t really care what strangers on the internet think of my editing skills.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The price was going to be $499. A 145% tariff makes the price $1222.55. A 100% tariff would double the price and this is more than 100%.

  Looks like pretty steep inflation fueled by tariffs. I wonder how the Denies Reality Party (DeRPs) will spin it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More like retailers won’t eat any of it and will take the opportunity to raise prices even more because they know consumers are expecting higher prices and they have pressure to retain or increase their margins to meet shareholder expectations.
