Yup.

Linux trusts you to be a big boy and so doesn't play childish games like "Weellll, I know you asked me to delete the files but you're also dumb, so tada!! Here they really are!!"

Nope, you're fucked unless you know data forensics.

Mitigations? Backups or time-machine-like programs where you can roll back.

Or try your hand at using ZFS or BTRFS to live-snapshot data.

Amen brother. The one time I worked with an all male older-guy team I loved it.

Competence off the charts, genuine cooperation, good banter, no fucking dramas at all, huge productivity. I miss that place.

The sheer amount of stuff that can get done with a good team of guys has to be seen to be believed sometimes.

I never thought someone could look so jokishly Jewish.

Interesting that international Jewry no longer sees any need to hide their reach.

>gynecologist

why would I listen to a fuckin pussy doctor about nutrition

not that doctor opinions in general are worth a shit. they have no special training in interpreting data, they take one undergrad stats class like everyone else

@shortstories

> I think having stupider women is a net loss

That statement is a fallacy since it makes no distinction between useful and useless knowledge.

Mothers not knowing calculus does not equate to them being stupid, nor does it mean her children cannot learn calculus.

@shortstories

My father was out of the house for longer than 8 hours a day and yet taught me basic calculus way before it came up on the public school syllabus.

Anecdotal, sure, but the larger point stands. Invested fathers have and always will teach their children.

More importantly we were taught how to learn, meaning neither parent needs to know everything. They just need to monitor and encourage progress in those subjects. Again, this is extremely common.

@shortstories

Your objection presumes that

* the public K-through-12 school system is a net good. it's not.

* children learn useful things at public school. they don't.

* mothers require graduate quals to teach their children the 3R's. they don't.

* fathers don't have a hand in teaching their children. they do.

It's entirely possible to educate a nation's children to competitive international standards at home and/or in communities.

@dictatordave @shortstories

I was trying to limit my frame to OP's question of what disincentivizes birth rate with respect to college.

But actually you are 100% correct. I've met such women and their destructive impact on society is huge ,and often fuelled by their failings at motherhood or hate towards men.

I take back my 2nd exception. Good call.

@shortstories

There are 2 exceptions to college I can think of that don't also disincentivize women starting & maintaining families:

* female doctors. there will always be that need.
* women who are sterile or have no interest in motherhood

Arguably a 3rd are mothers with grown/deceased children, but that also takes money, time & energy away from her roles as wife/grandmother/aunt which again leads to more family dissolution, this time of mature family units. This causes generational chaos.

@shortstories

Motherhood, especially early motherhood, is a full time job and that starts when she becomes pregnant.

The same problem therefore still obtains - college displaces the time and energy that mothers need to commit to their family.

On a macro level your scenario puts unnecessary financial, time and energy strains on families leading to broken families and more single parents.
