Yeah, but if everyone is really cool about it maybe we can all pretend it didn't happen.

You thinking positivity and optimism are toxic tells me everything I need to know about you.

The rest of us are going to move the species forward. The least you can do is try to keep your fatalism to yourself until you grow out of it.

Why bring rocks back when there's plenty of ore underfoot?

Also did your "countless studies" that you totally read and didn't just skim the headlines of not mention the natural trend of declining birth rates as education levels increase? Kind of seems like an oversight for someone who thinks there's too many humans.

Based on ... What? A general sense of malaise?

Malthus was full of shit.

We've got nearly unlimited raw materials and energy available in the solar system. Now we have the technology to utilize them. That's exactly what we'll do.

I am outraged that - let me check my notes - the EIC of The Verge has published an article partially generated by AI.

Here's an unpopular opinion: we're gonna make it.

Things will change. Societies and cultures will change. The environment will change. We will adapt.

There will be challenges. There have always been challenges. We will overcome them.

There are enormous reasons for optimism. We are on the cusp of spreading out into the solar system. Everyday people have access to all of the knowledge in every library on the planet. We have the opportunity to become what our ancestors could only have dreamed of.

Don't let headlines or fatalism or tunnel vision distract from the big picture. We as a species are going to make it.

It really isn't for her own good.

If your vet told you it was OK to cut her hair unnecessarily you need to find a new vet.

"You're fucking with me, right?"

There are different challenges in early and late childhood. Things like peer pressure are a much bigger issue during late childhood.

In early childhood the kid wants the entertainment and it's incumbent upon the parent to deny them that and provide more enriching activities that have fewer strings attached.

The only reason it's controversial is because parents do not take responsibility for their children.

It seems like the big hangups are parents unwilling to face social backlash ("but all the other kids have phones") and parents trying to justify their lack of effort with their kids (setting a device in front of the kid to shut them up). Ironically these two groups are willing to throw all the effort they don't put into raising their children into defending their bad behavior.

Parent here, raising kids without smartphones until they're at least in high school.

I couldn't agree with you more.

You're right.

I think I need to lie down.

Unfortunately (at least in the U.S.A.) speaking quickly is a bad habit that is typical among young people. In schools we teach students to slow down when giving a presentation or speaking formally.

You may find it more useful to find YouTube videos where people are presenting information on a topic. These "video essays" are typically done in a more formal and understandable fashion.

No, Ron. Go find Becky.

I would recommend using face to face conversations to judge your English comprehension.

I am a native speaker with perfect hearing and I still have to use subtitles with any movie made in the past ten years.

Morgpie is stimulating ... the economy.

I think you may be miscalculating the opinion of the American public. "It's European law" isn't exactly a selling point for a lot of folks.

Oh boy, I have some news for you ...

And then everyone clapped
