I read the article and it literally just loosely summarized the repugnant conclusion thing where a bazillion miserable people is better than a million happy people because there is more total units of happiness in existence.

Which is already a monumentally dumb idea and the article just sort of restates it and offers exactly no expansion or commentatry other than almost verbatim "makes u think huh". It's like the author read a wikipedia article and then rewrote a couple of paragraphs of it, and put it in a newspaper.

Also the character was originally written as a man. I'm willing to bet, given how little nerds have changed, that when Alien first came out a ton of people got mad at Ripley being a woman anyway and this talking point is just historical revisionism anyway.

I think the main difference is that when Alien first came out, anyone who was mad about it could only express their anger to people in their physical proximity.

They want more children so competition for jobs will make it easier to keep wages low.

But you can make (bad) arguments in favour of maximising procreation, the article doesn't do that, as I said it literally just reads like a summary of a wikipedia article and makes absolutely no point, just "wow deep thoughts that's wild bro"

If you're female, you're born with like, 600,000,000 eggs already formed inside your body or something, so the odds of any specific person actually existing are pretty wild, if you think about it.

Like the guy who wrote that article, the odds were actually in our favor that a better guy (or gal) was born, but we missed out.

Yeah the article doesn't make any grand conclusion about birthrates or total happiness or anything. I assume he's bemoaning the fact that there will be less labor available in the coming years, thus less meat for the grinder.

Not gonna lie I would totally watch Alien recast with 80s Cher in the lead. Is it an improvement? Almost certainly not, but it’d be entertaining as hell.

I am totally on board, and wish to hear more about this project.

80s Cher as Ripley. Check.

Now who do we replace Michal Biehn with? Who gets the Bill Paxton role? The Lance Henrikson role? Who gets to be the cool muscly lady marine with the big gun? Or the weasally company man?

These things are important.

I'm not surprised there's residential school deniers in 2021, just disappointed.



For those out of the loop, indigenous children were stolen from their families into boarding schools to destroy their culture and language. Thousands of children died or are unaccounted for over almost 200 years. Our hardcore conservative prime minister formally apologized on behalf of the country in 2008. A mass grave of 215 unidentified children as young as 3 was recently unearthed on former residential school property. We know the full story, we know the context, we know how they died, the discourse now is finding the rest of the bodies buried across the country and stop denying what happened.

Then this loving taintstain shows up.

I bet that dude who thinks a "virus" killed all those kids also denies the virus that's actively killing people (and in Canada it disproportionately affects racialized people, so almost exactly what he's talking about...)
