^This. MTG is the epitome of PWT (poor white trash). Even though her fucked-up beliefs and proposals most likely will never amount to anything, the fact that she gets an elevated platform to spew them from just makes it all the more nauseating. 

No it’s not, Greene is like someone took a generic NPC model from an unreal 3 game, made a real life clone of it, and for a personality injected 50ccs of combined 8Chan and Twitter.

The problem is not overpopulation — a concept that only seems to be fearmongered over when it comes to non-majority-white nations — but resource distribution. We have more than enough for all; we choose not to allocate it equitably.

Most developed countries have fertility rates under two, and therefore need to raise their birthrates.

I’d argue that Harry got more of the “Diana influence” than William.

Royal family should give back what they stole from Africa before blaming population growth for climate change there.

William is just another Charles. Aloof, naive and sheltered from true suffering.

Nah it’s 100% straight-up racist; how much of that pressure on Africa’s wildlife and wild spaces is the result not of modern “overpopulation” but the cumulative effect of Europeans ravaging the continent’s mineral wealth, game, and natural resources for centuries?

Oh he’s not wrong. He’s merely ignoring the bejeweled elephant in the room who is sitting on a throne and living in wealth that was literally funded by racism, colonialism, and the slave trade of those very countries he's criticizing. 

I’d rather go after large corporations that ravage poor countries of their natural resources, avoid paying taxes, and throw a couple million dollars at empty PR campaigns and corporate “socal responsibility” than poor people who live in poverty and hunger and cannot substantively effect change on an individual level.

They aren’t. You a) didn’t read the article b) don’t know what you’re talking about. It isn’t just SOP to test pregnant women for drugs. The average suburban white woman isn’t going to get busted for having amphetamines or opiates in her system during pregnancy because she’s never going to be tested for them.

I’m a middle-aged parent, thank you very much.

“All pregnant women are tested for presence of the same drugs in their system”

Look, I totally agree with the gist of the article and the importance of ensuring all pregnant people can access compassionate, non-judgemental healthcare in a safe environment BUT there’s a huge difference between methamphetamine use during pregnancy and having the occasional glass of white wine past your 6th month…

Genetics don’t predispose people to drug and alcohol use and abuse.

We may be doing things in the wrong order. If it were relatively easy to take a large payload to the Legrange points, and to travel there again to service it, the amount of effort, $$,  and angst required to build and deploy this device could have been vastly reduced. I see Starship, if successful, as the vehicle for…

From everything I’ve read about this thing for years, I’m 100% fine with as many delays as it takes to get it up as fully functional as possible...

I like the whole vibe of Clint going around being annoyed at all this shit (like LARPing cops and firefighters, Tracksuit Mafia and Kate being Kate and not helping) he has to deal with when all he wants to do is go home for Christmas. He fought Thanos and now he’s stuck with this. You can feel the exasperation.

That’s exactly why they delay it for the least little thing.  Hubble was delayed several years and cost a lot more than the original proposal and it needed a repair mission and several servicing missions.  It is widely held to be the most important scientific instrument ever made.  JWST can’t be repaired or serviced…

Please no hitches during/after launch.

Came back after watching Passing to say I thought it was very good too! Well thought out and well-done all the way around! The black&white cinematography was a gorgeous choice, as was the way she used sunlight and shadow.
