Fertility is *incredibly networked* - having friends who would celebrate your pregnancy/baby -> wanting more kids. New @FamStudies:

I’m beginning to think having children traps you in the system. Once you have people depending on you, you can’t just quit your job, take risks, or walk away from a life that makes you miserable. You need a steady paycheck, health insurance, and stability. Suddenly, survival matters more than freedom.

I love college football. Always have. Its regular season is the best in sports. Has been forever. So it's legitimately upsetting that the CFP is going to 24 teams. Not everything needs to be about how the most money can be made. I hope some of the sport's big names speak up.

Dan Orlovsky posting about his brother in law passing away with a GoFundMe link attached is next level. Bro making 1 million + if you so worried about your sister take care of her. Stop asking for handouts. I can’t believe he just used his followers on his app to get a handout bc his sister apparently didn’t take care of financial standing. My wife doesn’t work. We don’t make a million dollars a year but if I die tomorrow at 32 my wife has a home paid for. A business she can sell to start her life over + money saved. We sacrificed buying a lot of things over the years to pay off the house bc I wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be in a bind if I died. I have completely loss all respect for Dan & I honestly don’t give a damn about the tragedy anymore or feel bad. And I can’t wait to see the other fucks making millions for shit ass analysis telling me to donate money to someone bc someone died as if they were gonna live forever. Should always be prepared. And I’ll be the bad guy for thinking this way but it’s okay idc.

A girl I used to date said women dress hypersexually at the gym because they are now competing with porn for men's attention and I can't unsee it

in 2 years nobody will ask what you do for work lol

MAGA loves to talk about how Christian they are but when a woman is being physically assaulted by multiple men at a Trump rally there isn’t a single Good Samaritan to be found.

What has gradually disappeared over the last ten years without people really noticing?

American politics is a mess because most voters don't follow policy, so politicians stopped explaining it. They sell slogans, outrage, and sometimes flat-out lies, because that's what wins. The stupidity of voters is a problem, but it’s also a problem that politicians have decided manipulating voters and appeasing them is easier than persuading them. Never underestimate how little the average voter knows about policy. And never underestimate how many politicians are counting on it.

The U.S. is $40 trillion in debt with capitalism.
