I’m not really personally as into public transportation and densifying as I was before Covid, as someone who still has to take it seriously (i.e., not get it so I don’t kill my wife and kid). It still would not trouble me one bit if every federal worker in DC who could went full WFH forever and the buildings were all turned into housing, ad hoc meeting spaces, or parks. Ending WFH solely to prop up local economies feels completely wrong-headed to me. There is not any scenario where I think that’s ok.

I don’t get the birth rate thing. What’s the problem, exactly? Is there an assumption that people will just keep avoiding kids until nobody’s left? That a smaller growth rate somehow means a trend toward zero? Even if people were breeding at less than replacement rate why would that rate remain fixed as the population shrinks instead of leveling out or going back up? Social security is already boned so that argument’s a miss for me, and I definitely don’t care about having enough strong backs around to guide the boomers into the grave.

Grip it and rip it posted:I don't know why the gently caress so many people are convinced social security is boned but you definitely shouldn't just shrug at the idea of being denied benefits you have paid into your entire life Because all I ever hear is that it’s not going to last, the retirement age got pushed back, and there is zero willingness to raise or eliminate the income caps to help fund it. Don’t yell at me for not expecting retirement in 30 years lol. Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Mar 4, 2023 |

CommieGIR posted:Considering that there is travel advisories for Mexico anyways, its a go at your own risk sort of scenario anyways. There isn’t a spot where people won’t say that everything is actually fine and that the government and media are lying to you. I’m sure a lot of travelers think it’s all BS, and show up unprepared to deal with life in these areas. It rubs me the wrong way that aid is only brought up in the context of protecting tourists, and then only in the form of the threat of violence.

People always point out that the cartels do a lot of business outside of drug trafficking but strong arming politicians over timber trade is just regular business and probably wouldn’t stack up as many bodies.

Dang It Bhabhi! posted:dear wine industry and religious schools, i mean charter schools: maybe don't pick such an obvious loving loser for a bank. thanks. The articles are saying that on top of SVB forcing people to bank with them in exchange for below-market lending rates investors were stipulating the same for the businesses they put money into. Which in retrospect seems super suspicious but hey, it’s free income until it isn’t.

It’s a little ridiculous to point out that peoples’ issues with working in the office should be fixed by addressing societal problems while defending office work as some peoples’ only form of social interaction. That is clearly a societal problem that should be fixed sooner than the others.

Kith posted:One of my friends' preteen kids wanted to try tiktok a few years ago, so I was recruited by her mom to help her set it up on her phone since I was the "tech person" friend who "understood memes". We idly scrolled funny videos for about five minutes until the feed suddenly started spitting out sex workers posting advertisements and thirst traps. TikTok is great, not bad, because of how it shows me hot ladies inbetween videos of retro computer stuff and woodworkers showing me how to make better joints. Sucks it lets people try to turn babies vegan or whatever. It should be regulated and moderated harder, not banned because of what screeching hawks have to say about the dangers of Chinese paratroopers knowing our location data.

pantslesswithwolves posted:Also I think it's fair to be really skeptical about Chinese tech in general, especially when you consider how tightly they attempt to control the Chinese expatriate community in so many countries via coercion on family members, the "secret police stations" that have been discovered in so many countries... It is totally fair, and while I try not to be all whatabout over things we just have absolutely no leg to stand on as long as law enforcement in the US is using social media to do far more harm to its citizens than Chinese intelligence ever could. This isn’t redirecting blame, it’s saying “if you mean it about wanting to help people avoid getting hurt then start here.” Tiny Timbs fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Mar 24, 2023 |
