@ABirdAround The accounts I see advocating polygamy are invariably from brown people countries where the men carry a vastly unearned sense of superiority, so there you go.
@CorenLaVolpe The only societies where polygamy "works" are tribal where excess men are killed off via warfare, hunting accidents, and manhood rituals. In the modern age you'll get the 21st-century equivalent of the 9 betas waiting until the alpha is asleep and hitting him with a rock.
@ChiefEngineerCE Many businesses in my small town still hire teenagers and I love it. They aren't always the best workers but they're good kids and it makes the community brighter.
@AbolishTedCruz@le0nardpoetry It's just zoomers doing the "old people are lame" thing. In 15 years Gen A will be listening to Fun. again to be contrarian.
@xwanyex I did one at age 10 with my parents, early 2000s. I distinctly remember the dull-eyed Somalian man we were building the house for milling around doing nothing. Even my hippy parents never wanted to do it again.
@ClickingSeason I remember in 2004 making "us white people are so lame" jokes because my naive teenage self couldn't possibly imagine what the next 20 years would do to the world.
@TheIgnominiousX@ZoomerHistorian I totally agree, I'm no accelerationist. I'd just love to see Africa naturally depopulated and I know the hand-wringers will insist on feeding the animals until there is literally no more rice to load on the boats.
@latentjuice Sometimes being a parent means having to do things that seem arbitrary to a child, and I try to limit it as much as possible, explain as much as possible, and above all try to consider things from their point of view. No idea if it's enough but I'm trying.
