As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point.
Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest
the fastest reproduced in greater numbers than the rest,
a process which had once favoured the noblest traits of man,
now began to favour different traits.
Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest
the fastest reproduced in greater numbers than the rest,
That is a misunderstanding of natural selection. Natural selection means the most efficient ways to live in your ecological niche have been selected for.
Sloths are not counter to natural selection. They're not fast or smart or strong. What they are is well-adapted to live in their environment.
It's from the movie Idiocracy. Which is more of a documentary at this point.
Which is more of a documentary at this point.
I wish. The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and when they found someone smarter than themselves, the ones in power immediately stepped down to let him tackle their most pressing issues.
The idiots IRL think they're geniuses, and when they find someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear-campaign and/or incite violence against that person.
Where we're headed is MUCH darker than the future Idiocracy portrays.
No way. Next you are going to tell me that plants don’t actually crave electrolytes.
replace "choosing" with "can not afford"
Dinkleberg😠
To quote System of A Down, “we don't need to multiply”

The Dink in Mr. Dink's name stands for Double Income No Kids, which would explain his ability to produce such "very expensive" purchases.
That’s me and my spouse. We love it.
Some people cant grasp that not having children because you dont want them is an option. I got a vasectomy at 23, single, no kids, because fuck em.
My sister in law would like to be made infertile as well, unfortunately no doctor will do it for her because her hypothetical husband might want children from her one day. Being female in America and not wanting kids is heavily stigmatized, in her case she just doesn’t like them
Hospitals don't do background checks for a surgery. Just lie to your doc. "My husband of 15 years and I have three already - they're great but we're definitely done! Here look at these pictures of... oh gosh darnit, I think I left my phone at home. Anyway, let's talk about this surgery..."
If it feels unethical, so is our backwards healthcare system. Stupid problems call for stupid solutions.
Username...checks out?
I'm a surgical tech, which is rock-bottom of the medical food chain, but I take my role seriously enough that it makes my blood fucking boil when people are denied care over bigoted or superstitious nonsense.
If we're going to hit our patients with that BS, why would we expect our patients to have any respect for the system that's giving them the finger instead of providing care?
If lying and cheating is what it takes to trick the system into working for a moment, then lie and cheat.
Even with dual income you can be homeless.
Say what you will about previous generations but the ilk of Brian cheskey leading the way for destitution know money hoarding from unchecked capitalism more efficiently than ever before.
yea because that shit is bad ass
