The current trend on world population has us hitting 10.3 billion in 2080, and then it starts to recede. The idea of an overpopulated world comes from a book written in 1968 called “The Population Bomb”. The actual problem we’re facing in the west is a rapidly aging population, and birth rates that are falling off a cliff.
1·2 months agoLots of things about American political discourse are infuriating, but this is def one of the worst. Republic administrations are so much worse for inflation that it’s almost laughable to see this opinion shared around. Kind of wild how politics is all vibes and memes I guess.
She actually has not taken AIPAC money, nor has she received an endorsement from them. I’d suggest that you do a little research before you start throwing accusations around but you know, you do you, baby!
I think her stance on Israel is more complicated than that.

They’re both good candidates; neither is perfect, but it’s refreshing to have a hard time choosing tbh. We need more folks like this to get in these races.
18·2 months agoSure studio/publisher consolidation is trashing AAA development but I’d argue that the opposite is true of the indie scene - more and better games than ever.
He praised one set of Trumps tariffs last year.
1·3 months agoUsed to be called “The School of the Americas” but apparently they rebranded as “The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation “

They’re talking about the “Peace Prize” that FIFA gave him this week.

Stupid shot is pretty much their only area of expertise!
He’s on record as supporting an arms embargo on Israel
Exactly - this is a pretty good overview of the idea and the research behind it. We’ve always wanted to believe that people are fundamentally rational beings but it just isn’t true lol.
Most people vote on vibes - that’s what the data always shows. They follow their peers, community, maybe a trusted authority figure. They are not, and have never been informed on issues, and they aren’t interested in learning more about them. I think those of us who do try to stay informed fall into the trap of thinking “if these folks were only better educated about this issue they would vote differently”. But that has never been and will never be true. Gotta project better vibes, baby!
I think the fundamental truth here is that any relationship requires conscious effort from both parties. One person alone can’t carry that weight. If your friend wants to salvage this relationship then I think they need to convince their partner to pursue individual therapy, and also they need to talk to a couples counselor together. Without professional help I think it’s going to be very difficult to shift the dynamic here. That being said, life is short, and you can waste years hoping that someone will change. Sometimes you have to make the hard choice to move on.
Are you like, on the Halliburton payroll or something?
He’s also trying to draw attention away from the illegal deportations they did over the weekend.
I think you’re going to keep finding reasons why it’s Ukraine’s fault no matter what I or anyone say!s! I won’t waste any more time on this. The fact remains that Russia has broken pretty much every agreement they’ve ever struck with Ukraine since at least 2014, and Ukraine has zero incentive to enter into a new one without the force to ensure it’s followed. Their only choice is to try and wear Russia down with prolonged conflict.
Except, again, there’s no reason to believe that Russia was negotiating in good faith, and it sounds like the inclusion of security guarantees from the West is one of the reasons the talks broke down.
Again, Russia has broken basically every treaty and agreement they’ve ever made with Ukraine.

Simply put, the Russians can’t be trusted to honor any agreement that’s not backed up by force. Their “terms” aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. They’ve never honored any agreement they’ve made with Ukraine, and as long as Putin is in power they never will.
Amazing to see the Boomer Humor live on in another generation.
