Ok, serious question: say that happens and we end up with $1000 for a sandwich type hyperinflation overnight shit. I’m assuming most financial institutions would be in ruins, but assuming they’re not, what happens to people with debts? Like, they can’t increase the amount you owe, so if you owed them $50k for a car loan, and suddenly $50k is the equivalent of a soda, would that make paying off pre inflation debts easier? I’m guessing there’s a big caveat that in that situation most things would not be functioning normally at all anymore.

Like, I’m not trying to be all “hurry up with the downfall of the US!” or anything like that. Just curious how this would play out for individuals. Is there possibly some silver lining for people with large medical debts, for example? Just wondering.

Yeah I get the point. But it doesn’t do anything about breaking those chemicals down or actually removing them. They just build up in the ocean instead. And then eventually you have rivers ON FIRE and you have to create the EPA.

Technically, you could mix 100 “toxic” chemicals into a soup where each one is below its PPM and that would be considered “safe”.

It’s like telling everyone they can only pee a little bit into the pool. Just a little bit won’t hurt, right? But if everyone’s doing it, eventually you have a pool of piss.

And frankly, I don’t trust humans for shit when it comes to long term impacts. We are short-sighted AS FUCK. There is no reason to believe dumping waste into the ocean isn’t eventually going to fuck something up. Oh look, it happened in this very article!

It’s just retarded homeopathy nonsense to think dilution removes the chemical. It’s still there. Just in our oceans now.

“I’m more concerned about someone’s language usage than actual issues”. That’s you, crying like a baby over a word. You sound like a retard.

And then the new word becomes taboo when someone misses that. It’s the Euphemism Treadmill. Like first sentence of my post. But obviously you’re too retarded to read that part. I don’t play that bullshit game. It’s… (wait for it)… RETARDED.

So what happens if you let the elderly fall off that cliff? How will society look then? Oh, you don’t have the answer? Is that because you don’t have the data yet because the experiment hasn’t concluded? What I’ve said all along?

Moron.

The article in the post you brain dead moron

That’s literally any device. Goes all the way back to things like people setting up routers and not changing the default password so anyone else can get in. That’s just user error plain and simple.

You would be amazed how often “the solution to pollution is dilution”. Can’t dump that raw chemical into the water/sewer, oh no. But if you dilute it with 5000 gallons of water? Oh well now it’s at “acceptable levels”. Notice how most regulations talk about “parts per million”(PPM). Well, it turns out that when most of your regulations are written such that you only have to “properly dispose” of something if it’s above a certain concentration, you can just dilute it below that level and BAM, “safe to dispose of”.

Shut the fuck up with this bullshit. No one wants the blockchain.

Too bad there’s not an article that answers all of these things in the first paragraph.

So I had the weird issue that none of my shortcuts were showing the proper icon, instead showing the blank piece of paper placeholder(even in the taskbar). Was digging through some other settings for something and found a bunch of one drive settings left on. Turned them all off and suddenly my icons are back to normal. Not sure if it was trying to access the files in the cloud instead of locally and wasn’t loading them properly or what. Either way, One Drive absolutely fucks a lot of random things up

Entering a total strangers discussion

Yeah, you lost me here. You posted it ON THE FUCKING INTERNET FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. Heaven forbid someone comment and interact. Oh no! Woe is you!

What a load of entitled bullshit.

Suck an egg.

I’m not saying this exact system worked. What I’m saying is pointing to the old vs young imbalance is disingenuous because ANY system that attempts to limit population growth will experience the same “sudden change”. Hell, any system that limits ANYTHING will eventually have “group that had it” vs “group that didn’t”. Saying “there’s a lot more old people from before we limited the population” is like telling me fire is hot.

The question shouldn’t be “is the transition perfect” but “does the system that follows actually work?”. We shouldn’t discount all systems that want to limit population growth like this because ones with better metrics could actually work. And as we’ve seen, this program DID WORK. It lowered population. Just not in socially healthy ways.

It’s just not logical to complain that if you have less of a growing population that your elderly population outnumbers them. That’s LITERALLY THE PURPOSE OF POPULATION CONTROL. To have less being born. Of course the elderly from before will outnumber them - you weren’t controlling their population!

And you completely missed my point. My point was that any kind of population change will have an imbalance of old vs new. Until that imbalance passes, you haven’t seen the final results of the experiment, you’re still in it.

That’s it. Wasn’t touching on the gender imbalance or any of that. So thanks for that giant wall of text, but it’s not the point I was touching on at all.

And you don’t need to tag me in response to my own comment. I see it just fine.

Playing devil’s advocate here, is this really a problem? It should be obvious that if you suddenly cut population growth you’d end up with this elderly vs young imbalance eventually as the generations that reproduced freely age out. This is part of the adjustment as things reach equilibrium. Now, granted, this 1 child policy will still create the same issue moving forward but in a less drastic scale. Ideally you’d have a 2 child policy to actually replace parents 1:1 with kids. But the point is, this imbalance was bound to happen regardless and you really won’t see equilibrium until every person alive was born under the restricted policy. This is still too early to call it a failed experiment. It’s right at the most crucial part.

Say the words. He called her a “Fucking bitch”. Stop fucking censoring language, especially over something like this. If the words offend you, GOOD. You should be fucking offended. (I know OP just reposted the articles censoring - this is directed at the article more than OP)

And again, arguing custody would be arguing AGAINST the shooter. AT BEST, it would get the video thrown out and then we’d just look at the 4 other videos that all show the exact same thing. It literally doesn’t help, at all. It literally only would add a charge of tampering with evidence.

Yeah, I don’t subscribe to that euphemism treadmill bullshit. Maybe save your outrage for things that are actually offensive, like our government murdering people in cold blood, not fucking words. This neutering of our language is bullshit and yes, some things are fucking retarded and need to be called out as such. Trying to defend the shooter here is fucking retarded. I stand by what I said.

And this is why liberals hate other liberals. Were discussing a fucking murder and you’re over here complaining about language. Unless you’re this perfect idealized liberal, other liberals will take the time to bring you down instead of the much more pressing and bigger issue.

Seriously, fuck off with this retarded fucking shit. We NEED words for when things are so ass backwards and anti-logical. I’m not gonna sit here and wish that we “unalive the meanies”. Grow a fucking spine.
