Births in China slide 10% to hit their lowest on record

So I was thinking this same thing until I watched a Kurz Gesagt video on YouTube about the effects of unbalanced populations. They pointed out that by the time our population naturally starts decreasing we'll already be dealing with the worst consequences made worse by an aging population that cares more about maintaining the status quo than the innovation that a younger population would encourage. Grain of salt obviously... But now I'm trying to rethink how I see the issue of maintaining stability for ourselves and descendants while decreasing our strain on the system.

I don't know where I was going with this.

This explains so freaking much about how everyone is always terrified of Canadian health care when it works decently well. (Perfect? No!) But so many of their problems in accessing specialists are identical to ours. (Most common argument I hear.)

And it was just so much easier getting on antidepressants and switching up my birth control methods while I was in Canada than if I had tried the same in the US.

Penises are so weird. I'm glad no one can tell my level of arousal unless they are looking at my underwear or under it... Which by that point I probably am okay sharing that information.

Tangential note - had a fun conversation with my person the other day on how I'm used to the erect penis as "normal" and how it looks funnier when it's not whereas for him it's the opposite!
