@JoshNorris Arsenal fan here. This, after the ref instructed them to get on with it, was exactly what should have happened.
Now, how the second half was officiated? I’ve got some issues…
I trend towards society viewing having kids as a choice instead of a purpose.
When it becomes a choice, the cost/benefit math starts to not math given affluence, individualism, and access to the world. The tradeoffs are actually tradeoffs.
Purpose and duty are afterthoughts.
I agree with Morgan.
The “low fertility is about modern uncertainty” argument, the “nobody has kids bc it’s too unaffordable” argument, and the viral Connor Leahy video about “how much do you have to abuse a mammal to make it stop procreating” all get some things half-right, but they all assume that bc declining fertility is Bad, its causes must also be All Bad.
But in the long run, economic growth has pushed fertility toward the replacement rate in practically every country on the planet.
Modern industrial affluence has done a bunch of things at once (more female education, more individualism, less farming, less need for child labor, more access to contraception, cost disease, etc) but basically material progress turned children into a high-cost choice, and almost everything flows from that.
As children become just another choice among other adult choices, questions about affordability and uncertainty are ruled in, so to speak. You can ask questions like “can we afford 1? 2? 3?” or “are we sure we’ll make enough in 15 years to support another mouth to feed?” These are not easy questions for couples. They are emotional and even painful. But in the grand sweep of history, I think they are questions of privilege, because they really are choices.
Toy Story 3 is perfect, and one of the best animated movies ever made.
Toy Story 4 wasn't needed as an extension of the TS universe.
But it was also a masterpiece of storytelling on purpose, self-worth, and change. And I will die on that hill. Jack Black is wrong.
@Underdog In 2000 it was about $600 annually for DirectTV and then another $175 for Sunday Ticket.
YouTube TV has ESPN, CBS, FOX, so do you need those subscriptions in the math you have listed? There are games exclusive to Peacock, so you need that and Netflix and Prime. Closer to $975.

You just beat your rival in overtime for the first time in 15 years to cap off a 31-0 season. The only proper way to celebrate is to immediately mother fuck the student section.
Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving will miss the season to allow himself additional time to fully heal from the torn ACL he suffered last March. Irving will make his return for the 2026–27 season.
Unforgiveable. Mavs ownership empowered Nico Harrison to make the worst trade in sports history. We knew it immediately, and yet it somehow got worse with each passing day.
So the Mavericks turned Luka Doncic into
