@LionKimbro@Aella_Girl I think @lymanstoneky believes this sort of thing is actually anti-natalist because in many cases these women would find a husband and have 2+ kids. But as single moms, they are much more likely to stick with just the one. Am I getting that right?
@tokyo_111 Did some basic assumptions and if you work at that company for another 34 years, and make $6,600 annual contributions, you should have $1.3m in retirement savings after 40 years of work. Goes up quite a bit if you start increasing your contributions.
@grant_wrld@Comrade_Waluigi I think the only answers are Star Wars and Lord of the Rings
Star Wars:
“May the force be with you”
“I am your father.”
“Do or do not, there is no try.”
“Help me obiwan kenobi, your my only hope”
”I find your lack of faith disturbing”
“I love you.” “I know”
And more

@aedison In my mind, having it is a somewhat rare trait even among non-nepo professional actors.
So if only 3-4 out of the actors pictured have it, that might be on par with the base rate. Potentially even above average.
Alternatively, I’m too stingy with my it attributions.
@captgouda24 You should consider that expressing views so deeply off-putting to others is anti-utilitarian because it reduces the ability to persuade people of more palatable, but unusual views that might actually improve the world.
@lymanstoneky@AlanMCole Why don’t you think opportunity cost has risen? Strikes me as obvious that it’s risen dramatically so I’m wondering where we are so misaligned.
@senatorshoshana You ask politely to go first with a simple explanation of why and then they say “yes of course good luck”, and you move with a sense of urgency to get off the flight. Hasn’t this been the norm for decades?
@xwanyex Not sure which specific vehicle you own but I work in the auto industry and one of my jobs is benchmarking competitors and in my experience VW has, by far, the worst software I’ve ever seen in a vehicle.
