Among the many pieces of propaganda by the LGBT, the "we just want to get married" apparently never really took off even when the Supreme Court just invented the "right" for them to be married in spite of many states voting against it (even California of all states in 2008).

@Fullmetal2255 I would give him the benefit of the doubt if not for the fact that he said "it made sense" to implement it in this way. And the fact that he seems to be aware of the performance issues but still defends it (assuming this is real and not a troll).

@Fullmetal2255 >I'm a React developer so it only made sense

In the field of software engineering, one important part of your job is to not only know if something can technically be done, but also IF it should be done.

@Tfmonkey The big problem with many libertarians is that they think they can implement their policies in any order and cheer even when they get open borders without realizing that having open borders means they will lose any possibility of cutting welfare. "Don't worry, we are working on that problem too!"

That is where the retardation is with many libertarians and the Libertarian party.

@Tfmonkey regarding the Libertarian party, you are correct that they are generally useless and often counterproductive. But with their own words, I have seen them claim to be cutting welfare spending and removing tax dollars from the healthcare system. But since they are only empty words, it is functionally the same thing as them being opposed to cutting that kind of spending.

@Justicar boo hoo life is not fair. Men are stronger than women, especially when it comes to upper body strength. I am not upset that a gorilla is way stronger than I am despite my years of training and the gorilla doing really no training at all.

Something I observed happened to me again. I had eaten a lot of food over 2 days, and the very next day my body stopped giving me hunger signals. It was the opposite of starvation mode (that same term inappropriately used by many who are obese). It was a forced fasting mode.

At least I know that I should not have to worry about gaining too much weight, since my body will simply say "slow down before you get fat!"

@sardonicsmile Perhaps we need to have a collapse and have some readjustment. But I guarantee it will not be pleasant, and women like this will soon realize that the consequences of a lack of investment by men will mean hard times. Eventually we will rebalance to the system where either men are scarce (thus true harems being common) or heavily enforced monogamy. Either way, the feminist system will be necessarily pushed out of the way for a system that can actually function.

@sardonicsmile with a larger number of the men who are unable to have their own woman to pair with, a lot of men have been checking out of the system. You simply will not have men motivated to work hard if they are unable to have a wife of their own to have a family with. The current trend towards soft harems where many women are having out of wedlock children and many men who are left out of the sexual marketplace means we are due for civilizational collapse.

@sardonicsmile the "natural balance" that has fewer men with harems has other consequences this woman has not considered. Civilization is able to be far more advanced when there are more men invested in the system succeeding. Having fewer men means you just don't have the raw numbers for this to be possible. Our current issue is not the total number of men, but men who have a stake in the success. Men who have no wife and kids of their own are not going to be nearly as invested.

@TenaciousGoat how can you possibly have under 1000 steps in a day? I get that many just from my morning routine.

@Justicar And I could see that even that system would have issues, but at least the states being the bigger factor would allow for better governance than our overarching federal government. California, for example, would probably still suck, but at least other states would have their regions be more functional with the principle of subsidiarity instead of the top down system we have now.

I see balkanization being a very strong possibility in the US's future.

@Justicar I would not consider India to be running things smoothly overall, but I cannot speak from personal experience. China is not perfect either, and you are correct that their total control is a major factor in them functioning as well as they are.

We could definitely have things working better if we actually enacted the principles of federalism, where the states themselves are the most prominent governing bodies, but that has long since been a thing of the past.

@caekislove With Kyle Rittenhouse, his crime was preventing rioters from destroying property and defending himself when the rioters got mad. Because as we all know, when rioters are angry over "the correct cause," no one is allowed to stop them from carrying out their destruction.

So basically Kyle Rittenhouse was interfering with the leftist cause of the moment, and his self defense was inexcusable in their eyes.

Doing recon listening to state propaganda NPR, and they had a guest on to talk about how RFK Jr. gutting the HHS was bad because "the HHS saved the government money by preventing fraud and abuse in the system with their oversight."

Okay, that might be true. But it begs the question of why is it even possible to have this fraud and abuse in the first place. Maybe we shouldn't be granting money so easily for every request for funding. That's the real problem, not the cuts to bloated institutions.
