People just want fewer kids now, or they want them later. It's not the money, it's that kids are a drag.

Omg, the Evermore one was so bad because it was so good but actually 4 hours long. I lost one whole day of free time to that video. Lol
It's a bigger problem that barely has to do with the specific shows or movies. Marvel Studios has mostly been coasting since Endgame. It also didn't prioritize female led properties, so they're all coming out in this coasting period. This means they might be on average not as good. It's not directly because they're female led, but it is sort of indirectly because of that.
For most of Lemmy, yes, that makes you a fascist.
Social Security is being slowly strangled.
The demographics are probably a bigger part of it. The ratio of people collecting to people paying in is much larger now and the length of time people collect on it is longer since people live longer now.
"I only robbed you of 25% of your income, what are you complaining about?"
What people mean when they say "run out" is that it won't be able to keep up with its obligations. That is objectively bad. People will get reduced payments. There will be pain.
Everyone is talking past each other on this issue.
Some people who don't know anything are arguing that enslaved people literally benefited from slavery, but that's not what started this discussion.
I just dont want a monopoly.
There is no monopoly in video streaming. Not even close.
wut. Not having meetings in private places literally is making sure the 'place' accepts everyone. Do you even read what you're saying?
You're misreading what I wrote. If government unfairly has vital meetings at Private Club which not everyone has access to, the solution is not to force Private Club to accept everyone, it's to not have meetings at Private Club and have them at City Hall or something instead, somewhere that isn't exclusive.
Thanks for your question.
I see food preparation and dining rooms as separate industries, even if they don't appear that way at first. The most we can see this in practice is probably mall food courts. Web content like YouTube is the food and the web browser is the place or mechanism by which we consume "food".
Is being allowed to take tacos into McDonald's a hill I'm going to die on? No, of course not, it's just the first illustration I thought of. Lol. I could probably come up with a better example, that one was just easier and more visual.
To be clear, I'm not saying there's no anticompetitiveness happening, I'm saying that all vertical integration is basically this same amount of anticompetitiveness, and vertical integration is often very good, which is why we tolerate it all the time.
I agree the comparison to MS and Internet Explorer is somewhat similar. I also think that case was not decided particularly well, and it's not as revealing as it could have been since it ended up settling out of court, and IE ended up getting crushed by Chrome just a few years later.
I wonder, if Google made a new app called YouTube that could only watch YouTube and made it the only app that could watch YouTube, sort of like Quibi, would that be more competitive or less competitive? No one is asserting that Quibi was anticompetitive at all, correct? That would be even worse for Firefox users, they'd completely lose access to YouTube unless they downloaded a 2nd app, this time YouTube instead of Chrome, but like Quibi it would seem to dodge all these competition concerns completely. I think that shows how these concerns can be selective and kind of nonsensical.
The information is out there if you wanna find it. The truth is most people don't care, though. That's on us.
It varies by region or state. Some places you can discipline pretty easily, others your ex will use your any discipline at all as a reason to take your kids away.
