I can notice by the end of the day if I forgot to take one during the winter, and then I take one and 30 minutes later I feel better. Vitamin D is totally an anti-depressant given you have a deficit of sun intake.

Gives perspective on how accelerated change has become in modern times.

Best to second guess anything that is inviting you to indulge in self-pity I think.

Do they really just expect everyone to keep having more kids forever? They always frame this as a problem with women but it just seems like a consequence of reality to anyone living in it.

Step 2 is bringing back child labor, I suppose, to make feasible the economics of having children in times like these.

I honestly don’t think that if all economic barriers to having kids came down and removed was all access to contraception that it would cause the younger generation to have significantly more kids. Young people just don’t have sex as much as they used to and the causes for that are myriad.

Used to warm up chimichangas in the microwave before it came on.

This is insane to me as I have always hated needles and cannot become acclimated to them no matter how many times I've been poked. Literally cant self administer needles even when the doctors need me to, its not even the pain its just the sensation of being invaded.

The bags at the store have more weight by plastic than candy

Same reason that Luddites hated the textile factories. Its a tool but its the kind of tool that distances us from our work in a way that undermines our collective humanity.

I find them interesting because as a movement in retrospect it has been branded that way, as being silly and frivolous. I personally am not so sure they weren't making a good point with their actions. Probably though, in 30 years, reactions towards the current automation of certain jobs will be seen similarly as frivolity. Those people won't have a good idea what exactly it is people were trying to protect. In the same sense that people now have trouble understanding what the Luddites were losing to react the way they did. Nobody thinks about the labor behind the clothes they wear now, because of how ugly that reality is.

I kinda think this is one of those “Everybody Sucks Here” but we are only getting half the perspective. In any case the son isn’t owed his dads life savings and a dad isn’t owed his sons affection or respect.

They need the illusion that it can be to support their plans for infinite growth forever.
Space is just infinitely more resources to exploit in their eyes.

Personally I would be more interested to see how many kids are vaping now VS how many kids were smoking cigarettes 20 years ago.

Sounds the same to me. It is through our labor that purpose is found. Capitalists would have you believe that the luddites were entirely frivolous, as it was owners of capital who profited from the destruction of their labor.

Then your house is filled with a fluid we call air.

The world needs fewer people that have been very well prepared for the future. Its increasingly difficult for parents to provide that level of care when the communities we exist in have become so dissolute and fragmented. Child care used to be the job of the whole neighborhood. Two (one and a half) people were never meant to meet all the needs a child has.

Seems like it should be libel to dox someone as it is pretty much exclusively done to besmirch reputations and cause distress.

Cut to 3/4 inch and trim my neck twice a year. Keeps it simple and easy but never found a barber that understood why I would cut off 6 months of hair growth all at once for what most people consider to be a non-haircut. Keeps ones hair healthy and only takes a week or two for it to grow in enough to look natural.

Unfortunately Ohio is the central cross roads intersection of the Midwest and the most culturally melted mix pot of the Midwest.
