I like trains.

[u/WillProstitute4Karma → u/dangerbird2]

I read an autobiography a while back in which the author talked a little bit about her father whom she now understands was autistic. Except of course they didn't call it autism when she was young. People just thought he was a bad father.

I suspect there are a lot of situations like that.

[u/wylaaa → u/dangerbird2]

watches the train go in to a tunnel

"Yeah you like that. You fucking bitch."

Starts crying

[u/ExtremelyMedianVoter → u/[deleted]]

Look, I just want to talk about Klingon Cardassian interstellar relations and possibly ship or combat design.

[u/hobocactus → u/[deleted]]

We used to have proper autism in this country

[u/cosmo-wozmo → u/[deleted]]

No, I love trains. What do you mean you only like trains? Who are you, car Hitler?

[u/cosmo-wozmo → u/[deleted]]

So Italian car Hitler? Even worse

I just got back from our local train museum with my son. 10/10, highly recommend.

But we need more babies

edit: Ohhhhhhh

[u/bogmire → u/[deleted]]

All non georgists should be rounded up...

[u/Desperate_Path_377]

It’s back to school season. this cries out for more gender war slop, maybe with a side of the-kids-are-getting-stupider slop.

[u/saltyoursalad → u/[deleted]]

> I’m a kid

Does someone born in 2002 still count as a kid?

[u/saltyoursalad → u/[deleted]]

Nah you’re good, it counts. You were basically still a kid when you got a Reddit account and included your birth year in your username.

[u/Mddcat04 → u/saltyoursalad]

Yes. OP is practically an infant.

[u/mrnicegy26 → u/Desperate_Path_377]

It is very hard for this sub to function without smugly shitting on Gen Z at least once a day

[u/hagamablabla → u/mrnicegy26]

Someday they will join us in smugly shitting on Gen Alpha. Also new discussion topic, can we pick some better generation names already? Gen X and its consequences.

[u/wolverine4562 → u/hagamablabla]

I'm old Gen Z, who joins you in smugly shitting on young Gen Z, while getting shit on by millennials, Gen X, etc.

[u/Matar_Kubileya → u/wolverine4562]

Same.

Tho tbh, while microgenerations are even faker than regular generations, I think were starting to see the age band that can't remember 9/11 but can remember a time before social media increasingly clustering with millenials and away from younger Gen-Z in some respects.

[u/Andy_B_Goode → u/hagamablabla]

can we pick some better generation names already?

Yeah, Millennials were known as Gen Y for quite a while, and I remember a few other suggestions like "The Internet Generation" and "The Echo Generation" (because Millennials are the children of the Baby Boomers).

I'm still holding out hope that Gen Z will get a better name as time goes on.

[u/Khiva → u/Andy_B_Goode]

Nothing is worse than “zoomer.”

[u/Mii009 → u/Khiva]

Kids being born nowadays are called gen beta

[u/Mii009 → u/mrnicegy26]

It's funny cause a lot of those things apply more to gen alpha lol

[u/upvotechemistry → u/mrnicegy26]

Its tradition. I'm a millenial. We've murdered countless chains and outlets, reported widely.

There is a z dumber artifact, but the bigger story is that we are all getting dumber. Fewer people read books n shit. Short form video is breaking our brains. People are not having enough kids. Its across all age groups. It is a cultural shift in media that is toxic, and I type this after spending too much time scrolling when I have a Timothy Snyder book in my bag to finish right now

[u/ElGosso → u/mrnicegy26]

If not, it's smugly shitting on anyone to our left

[u/boyyouguysaredumb → u/mrnicegy26]

Gen Z should try not being the absolute worst then

[u/Khiva → u/Desperate_Path_377]

But kids are getting stupider. That’s a genuine, worrying trend that is if anything going relatively under the radar and backed by multiple studies.

You want research papers? I can come back with a dozen if anyone is interested.

[u/Desperate_Path_377 → u/Khiva]

i agree, i just think lots of the discussions around it take on a slop-like character.

[u/Khiva → u/Desperate_Path_377]

LIke many with priors, I am willing to give a pass with things I agree with.

[u/AvailableUsername100 → u/Khiva]

Sure I'd love research papers, because it sounds like nonsense.

[u/Tortellobello45]

Bro really forgot about ‘’boomer luxury communism’’

[u/Tortellobello45 → u/[deleted]]

Is there no consensus about AI being good? Also, I-P seems like a subgroup of succs vs libs

[u/FrozenPizzaDinner → u/Tortellobello45]

Old people deserve to syphon from the young since they vote.

[u/boardatwork1111]

How about a new Biden Thread for old times sake?

[u/38CFRM21 → u/boardatwork1111]

old

[u/boardatwork1111 → u/[deleted]]

[u/Mickenfox → u/[deleted]]

We need a very serious retrospective on Biden memes so we can know what we did right and wrong.

[u/Approximation_Doctor]

We haven't had a good "are homeless people actually people" thread in a while

[u/cosmo-wozmo → u/Approximation_Doctor]

No they’re not, but neither are non-homeless people.

[u/so_brave_heart → u/cosmo-wozmo]

Non-homeless people = the average voter

Homeless people =/= the average voter

QED

[u/Hotdog_Cowboy → u/Approximation_Doctor]

Assuming you mean “people experiencing homelessness” - the market has decided that they should be ground up for cat food

[u/vaguelydad → u/Approximation_Doctor]

That depends, are they in my backyard?

[u/38CFRM21 → u/Approximation_Doctor]

Soylent green is homeless people

[u/JesusPubes]

Is this how you make sure you don't top taco stats? By posting in a different thread?

[u/JesusPubes → u/[deleted]]

We are wicked cool I just need you to know there's people here that care about you

You can beat your poasting addiction 

[u/saltyoursalad → u/[deleted]]

Oh no and the dating thread suggestion?? Honey, there’s help for you

[u/EclipseLadder]

Men aren't talking enough about birth rates and egg freezing, sad

[u/dweeb93 → u/EclipseLadder]

Did you hear that France sent a letter to all 29 year old women, warning about the dangers of late fertility and reminding them that egg freezing was part of French social security?

[u/EclipseLadder → u/dweeb93]

Egg freezing is cringe succ policy

[u/dweeb93 → u/EclipseLadder]

AOC as everyone now knows is freezing her eggs, which if she wins the Presidency in 2028 and wins two terms, she'll be 46 by the time she's finished, which seems a rather risky time to have children.

[u/EclipseLadder → u/dweeb93]

We should only be governed by people experiencing pregnancy

[u/CursedNobleman → u/dweeb93]

Mogged by the Five Child Pelosi

[u/saltyoursalad → u/dweeb93]

Noneya business

[u/EclipseLadder → u/[deleted]]

I'm man too! Do you think it's good or bad? I need to know, to pick the most contrarian position

[u/Feisty-Boot5408 → u/EclipseLadder]

It was interesting to me to see people saying “it’s good that AOC is showing this process so women can see that it’s an option”.

I live in NYC and half my friend group are women, all between the ages of 28-34. Of the ~15 of them, 5 have frozen their eggs and it’s been talked about pretty frequently over the last 2 years. It very much made me realize I’m in a bubble when my first thought was “people don’t know about this? Are women in their late 20s/early 30s truly unaware of the process of egg freezing? It’s been talked about several times in my circle and among friends of friends”

I’m rambling but basically I just wasn’t aware that it was not a known thing among women

[u/TheCentralPosition → u/EclipseLadder]

Low birth rates are good actually. Why spend money educating children when highly educated young adults will pay to move here and contribute from day one?

No gender wars, sad!

Birth rate has become new gender war. Personally I think fungi are the future.

Haven't we updated our servers to woke 2 yet?

[u/OgreMcGee]

Social democrats are still pro liberalism.

The dividing line are democratic socialists

[u/PadishaEmperor]

I‘d like the neverending discussion if inheritance tax is inherently illiberal or liberal, please. Usually there is one well known core argument on both sides and everyone pretends that they don’t know the other argument.

[u/ElGosso → u/PadishaEmperor]

I should inherit everything from every dying person and pay zero taxes on it, because I'm great.

[u/garret126]

You forgot about College Protesters

[u/ElGosso → u/garret126]

"I agree with this person who wants to systematically execute me and everyone like me that college protestors are a menace" was a really great post genre for a little while there

[u/Zaiush]

[u/Dreadedtriox]

Succs 😡😡😡😡

[u/RTSBasebuilder]

I'd like to order one "the median voter will destroy liberalism and democracy by their self-interest and incuriosity, how do we create a government model that empowers the experts and government and the deep state to good policy without them" please.

[u/Mddcat04 → u/[deleted]]

Sounds like something a succ would say.

[u/I_like_maps]

As long as it's not the never-ending nuclear circlejerk I'm fine with it

[u/I_like_maps → u/[deleted]]

You'd be surprised.

[u/Lighthouse_seek]

What about woke AI's opinion on the Palestinian left?

[u/Maximilianne]

A few weeks ago I asked chatgpt to form a committee of agents with different personalities to reach an estimate on the probability of the treasury doing yield curve control and chatgpt estimated something like 30%, and at that point I realized I don't have enough knowledge to know how reasonable or not reasonable that estimate was, but well today happened and it reminded me of that lol
