Thanks for your response. It’s a shame this is a trend but perhaps fluxer will add that feature or it can be formed with one

Oooh. Thanks for the tip! I just tested it and it’s great, other than being slow which is understandable. Is it internet searchable? Or a walled garden?

Any age, really. You can introduce the topic gradually through learning about biology. Pollination of plants, for example. Or bird mating rituals. At primary school, we had an egg incubator where we could watch the live growth of a chicken fetus. Make it clinical and normal rather than this forbidden mysterious thing.

High schoolers should definitely be taught about safe sex and disease prevention. Also, consent and how to deal with unwanted attention, or even what to do after rape, dealing with shame etc. Heck, talk about masturbation and how it effects the body and mind.

It all needs to be laid out on the table so, in the future, these kids grow up into well informed adults and we can forget about data harvesting for surveillance.

At this point, it’s probably cheaper and more effective to have proper sex education in schools…

But China isn’t a crony capitalist country like America. The money is set up to always favour the government over there.

Things are the way they are in places like America because the government exists because of the billionaires (bribery, lobbying etc). In places like China, the billionaires exist because of the government (surveillance, prison sentences etc). This is most likely because Xi is driven by ideology, not greed.

The only way for the billionaires to take over China at the moment is to come together and start their own army to go to war. No way that’s going to happen because wars are a drain on capital.

The difference between Chinese billionaires and American billionaires is that the Chinese ones are owned by the government. To set up any company in China requires part government ownership of, I think, 15%.

There is no way the billionaires are calling the shots, ever, while Xi is in power. As if he would allow what’s happening in America, happen in China.

Remember what happened to the CEO of Alibaba? Jack Ma? When he became rich enough to potentially take over the country?

I’m non-US, so forgive me in advance.

But if there’s an agreement with the Trump regime, they have to take it at his word, even though it’s useless, right? There’s already nothing to remove him from power (vote of no confidence, double dissolution etc.).

Wouldn’t it be better to shut down the government until they get what they want, not the other way around? I suppose a better leader would do that but Schumer seems like controlled opposition to me.

That’s a very big generalisation though right; just some blokes in IT with shiny phones.

And, further, even if they stopped getting new phones, that’s hardly going to equate to a 5, 10, 20% deposit on a $500k studio apartment. Maybe it’s not that they’re lazy, maybe they’ve just given up.

And with AI muscling people out of that industry, can you even blame them?

The building codes are less stringent than they were decades ago, hence the drop in quality of housing compared to those built many decades earlier. It’s never been easier to get a home built. There’s a significant rise in remodeling homes at the moment because those who can afford it are doing it. I know because I do work with architects for these very people.

The hurdle is equity imbalance. The more houses you own, the more you can borrow. The more you own, the more you can rent or put on Airbnb and run as a hotel without having to pay corporate tax.

That and a lack of protection against people who do decide to build because if you get shafted by a builder, there is literally no one, no authority to turn to I’m order to get any deposits back. Much safer to build it yourself but can’t if you’re working to pay off your loans etc.

In a housing crisis, there shouldn’t be any landlords.

How many young people have you actually spoken to? Or is this just casual observation from Sky News? Because I know a whole bunch of younger people now that I’ve gone back to uni to switch careers after 20 years in the work force, and I can tell you that they’re absolutely struggling.

They’re on 2hr commutes one way, facing a job market that asks for senior roles only or entry level jobs that barely allow for any savings. They’ve got broken phones that they’ve been using for years because it’s too expensive to get new ones. They don’t drive because they can’t afford upkeep on a car. They either catch public transport or ride bicycles and work their arses off while their employers take advantage of them by firing them when they reach 21, which is the age where employers are legally required to pay you the national minimum salary.

They’re bloody thankful when they get offered a job paying $55k/year before tax.

So, I don’t know about you but these younger people are massively screwed and we’ll be screwed as retirees because there will be more oldies than there are young in the work force.

I just started to use Hyprland yesterday after switching to Cachy OS. Was previously Linux Mint cinnamon. I don’t know why but I’m kind of enjoying the thrill.

Perhaps it’s incest with Ivanka.

Oh, I’m quite logical but read the room. This is not the time or place to pose those questions that you’re asking and you won’t get a logical answer for the most part.

I’m just noticing you attempting to make your point everywhere near the top of the thread and you’re getting confused as to why most people aren’t engaging with your rhetoric. I’m not mad at you, dude.

I would say yes, yes it does make you a sociopath by asking such questions in this thread that shows a woman being murdered from the perspective of the murderer.

You clearly lack the empathy and wherewithal to understand the nuance happening here, that anyone with empathy can see.

That’s because Russia and Venezuela are allies. Got to say something, even if it’s for pretend.

Yep. I really really want Waterfox on IOS but I’ve settled for Qwant. It’s not bad.

Minitru but more stupid
