one reason the “don’t have kids unless you’re sure you can be a good parent” crowd is so wrong is my parents were not good at it, and I’m still glad I was born
I feel like this must be a near-universal sentiment, yet people don’t connect the dots

Man goes to mind-upload doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life was failure, wants second chance, immortality. Doctor says, 'Ok, upload tonight.' Next morning, man wakes up, says 'What about upload?' Doctor says, 'great success!' Man bursts into tears. Everybody laugh. Curtains.

You were the beautiful woman. Sorry I said nothing. Sorry I misinterpreted something. Sorry I’m as awkward as a penguin on stilts. I figure you will overlook that because this is my fantasy and in my fantasy you read this.

which do you think got hundreds of likes vs zero?
A) tweet that gives you a sense of superiority for seeing through *others’* sense of superiority (ironic!)
B) straightforward reply: “hey that’s bullshit, the object level is just right”
the answer may shock you!

Not doubting the overall thrust of moving dads Dem, but the numbers are fishy: +2 men, +28 dads?!
A lot of men are dads
So for these numbers to be right then non dads would’ve moved R like 20+pts which is implausible. So maybe one or both numbers are off?

Oh, you believe that passing what you'd call racist judgment inevitably follows from knowing more?
That tells us more about you than about them.
It's funny/sad because the person QTd is going on about how inventive every group of people is. Wrong person called racist here imo...

whether someone’s life is good or bad ON NET matters so vastly more than whether they might end up a little fucked up because you weren’t a perfect parent
and I’d challenge the assumption they must end up fucked-up. most scars aren’t permanent.

For example, I had some failure to launch so I’m basically a very late bloomer in life. My dad did NOT communicate strong values or a sense of normal milestones I should aim to meet (if only subconsciously). so I started my best life later than I shouldve. A fairly minor tragedy!

the most taboo topic is not race, religion, gender or class. It’s mathematics.
You see race, religion, gender, class discourse all over the news and social media. But there’s no mention whatsoever of math. That should give you a clue as to what is actually controversial.

What I find remarkable, from skimming, is the huge range in IQ for one(?) family: a lot around 100, a few 135-150 tho

- I’m not looking forward to meeting my local acx group right now; it doesn’t feel like home right now. This is unideal since I’m the new organizer.
- I’m much more interested in hanging out with a postrat new to SLC; I want to meet more postrats.
