The real problem is how we use our resources, not how big our population is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't part of the problem that the auto industry wants to chase the higher profit margins on larger vehicles? As long as the perverse incentive is present it's going to be an uphill battle to get them to produce more compact, cost effective cars.

Comedy gold, except for everyone who has to try and shop at a Walgreens.

It really is a tale as old as time.

Thanks for including the explanation. Well, that gives a small ray of hope I suppose? Things haven't ALREADY collapsed.

So, to an extent sure, I don't think it's some horrible thing for simply moralistic reasons, everyone has to discover their sexuality one way or another. However, I do think maybe having an entire digital library of smut dumped in your lap the moment you have access to a smartphone and some private time is probably not good for your sexual development. Ideally we'd just have parents/guardians use some common sense and take advantage of parental controls to limit access. But, we both know that many are neglectful or simply busy with trying to make ends meet to constantly monitor these things. Is the right answer government intervention? I'm personally more than a little skeptical, but I can see why some people see it as a valid concern.

It's a classic tactic, use a somewhat legitimate concern (Minors having access to pornography). And blow it far out of proportion, and use it as an excuse to crackdown on what you're really after. You will see people defending these bans because the "reasoning" they're being presented SEEMS rational, but unwittingly they're supporting a mass crackdown on their own rights.

Yeah I had a huge laugh, this is just gonna suck for the people who get suckered into it.

Funny how convergent evolution works sometimes.

Black Beans, Yogurt (a truly ungodly amount), rice, cheese, and red lentils. I've been trying to cut back on meat consumption last year, it didn't work perfectly but I've made a dent and reaped some health benefits from it too. I'd highly recommend you all try to get more beans in your diet, I've become quite the evangelist for legumes this year.

Our society already does effectively nothing to reconcile people's conflicting schedules. Nor did it attempt to resolve this before the rise of the dual income household. You can see this is in the amount of media that portrays children's trauma from fathers that are "too busy" being a breadwinner to be present in their life. Children want, and NEED all members of their family involved in their life. So I don't think that the rise of women in the workforce deprived families in any unique way. Instead, I'd argue that it simply divided that neglect between two people. It's not "good enough" to have one parent there 24/7 and another who exists to put food on their table and otherwise barely exists in their social life. They need to interact with their father, with their mother, with their uncles, aunts and grandparents. It's simply rational socialization. I think there is a legitimate argument to be made for a "max workhours per household" instead of per person, instead of trying to divide households into a labourer at home and a labourer at large.
