This, in fact, is how new Amish are made.

OH SHIT

HOLY SHIT I’M CURED

How bout a prescription to stop doom scrolling. I feel like it’d take at least that to get my damn phone out of my hands.

I can see why they’re your ex.

every conservative gets triggered like a sleeper agent hearing the code word to execute their mission, we should probably abandon it and just talk in simple practical terms people can understand.

Hard agree.

The most persuasive people I’ve seen don’t use that word often. They directly link peoples concerns to inequality (unfair taxation and employment laws), climate ( fossil fuel companies) and unregulated abusive businesses such as big tech.

This is the way. Lefty movements have rightly been criticized for being too academic. Expressing people’s concerns in a more relatable and practical way gets more people on board.

Not at all. Dude upthread isn’t arguing for the status quo, they’re pointing out that it isn’t just slavers that have that mindset. It’s worth reevaluating our own behaviour for inconsistencies.

It’s sad that you’re getting downvotes.

People want to fit into their society and enjoy the comforts available to their peers. As you say, that’s as true of slavers as it is of the rest of us who: drive (but care about our kids), eat animal products (but care about animal welfare), etc.

We need to realize that shit-ass societies that committed atrocities were full of people just like us. If we were in a similar situation, very few of us would have done better.

And fakes. You always need to be on the lookout.

That’s a lot of nudes

I KNEW SHE WAS PART OF THE PACK! AWOOOOO!

What are hobos doing in your body? And how many are we talking about?

Could we do Twizzlers instead?

The study is interesting. It uses a fun natural experiment to validate the hypothesis. At no point do the authors blame changing social mores for the entire decrease in birthrates, but they do say it accounts for a small, but statistically significant proportion.

You aren’t wrong, but, as the authors point out, phones have dramatically changed how we interact.
