I'd rather we restrict people like your parents from breeding because they created this poo poo right here but we've long decided that human beings don't get to tell each other when and how they should or should not reproduce because individually and collectively, human being are biased irrational idiots who do awful awful things to one another So tough poo poo for me I guess

Crazy Mike posted:I understand this is a controversial opinion but do not understand why it is so controversial that it is rarely spoken aloud. Is there room for debate on whether and by how much should government and society discourage poor people from conceiving more poor people? That debate wrapped up fairly conclusively in 1945.

Or you could just make it so having a kid isn't a financial death sentence if you're barely making 6 figures.

Not only that but just because someone is poor doesn't automatically entitle non poors to legislate or meter out said person's fundamental rights and autonomy of their body this is ethics 101 kind of poo poo But yeah the "system" is what is rotten, not human beings' core instinctual drive lol

Space Gopher posted:That debate wrapped up fairly conclusively in 1945. Haha no it didn't at all, not even close. People in United States were involuntarily sterilized until the 1980s, forced sterilization with essentially genocidal intent was performed on indigenous people of Peru in the late 1990s, and and some countries, for example Bangladesh, are still doing it today almost exclusively to poor people and refugees. Of course it wouldn't surprise you in the least to learn that in almost every instance these programs are eventually viewed as atrocities against human rights targeted against vulnerable populations no matter what the stated or actual intent is.

That is true. On the other hand, condemning your children to misery and poverty is cool and good.

No one should have children, they're BWM. Unless they become rich, then they're GWM (as long as you don't do something terrible to them and they decide to cut you out of their lives). More on topic, the trucker can't afford that $3.5k laptop even if he had a job, jesus.

I just got a new credit card, and I forgot how annoying it is to go to all these things that get charged to my CC every month and get them updated. A lot of times when a card “expires” they just issue a new physical card with the same number. Even when a bank deactivates a card and reissues with a new number a lot of them provide a service where merchants can be notified of the new card number. I’ve had cards deactivated for fraud and some of the businesses I do recurring billing with had the new number before I did.

One of my employers had a recurring charge for a DSL line. It had been active for 14 years. The DSL line was to a law office who we had hired to do some patent work for us 14 years ago, and we were covering their high speed internet bill while they were doing work for us back when that was pretty expensive. Nobody bothered to cancel it, and the law firm moved offices later. We paid $240/month to support a 1 megabit DSL line to an empty office for over 10 years, about $35k in completely wasted money.

When did the “Chase your dreams, you can be anything you want! If you study hard and have a good work ethic you could be a great engineer/scientist/doctor/astronaut/etc” parental screed become “Chase your dreams, you can be anything you want! If you don’t like what you’re doing, drop it and do what you enjoy doing in your free time and you could be a great video game player/video game designer/play video games while being recorded for the entertainment of others/vlogger/blogger/etc!!! Everybody wants to hear your opinions and maybe you’ll make enough to cover rent!” Of course there will be one person that everyone aspires to be (ie pewdiepie - which is not unlike selling someone on an MLM)

Inept posted:"Professional" gaming and streaming aspirations are going to gently caress up a generation of nerds Ain't this the truth. Even with the Blizzard Overwatch League finally guaranteeing a minimum salary (this year. of $50k. for people living in LA.) people are still spending the primes of their lives clicking a shoot button on a computer screen and not picking up any transferable skills. And this is the dream, to say nothing of people playing 20 hours a day trying to break through and GET to the pros. And then the 0.05% of them that do will be tossed on the street for some 17 year old in a few years once their reaction times start to slip past 100ms And this is to say nothing of literal scams or underhanded management, both of which are only getting worse as more money pours into the industry. I'm glad i'm already old and lovely at video games or i would have absolutely gotten suckered into this, to be completely honest. There's a real feeling of "Hey, I grew up playing video games when they weren't cool, I deserve to be paid for it now, other people are doing it!" that leads to some pretty insanely BWM mindsets
