Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Does anyone else feel like we are setting up to a near future where people who choose not to have kids are seriously discriminated against?
It's already here. I was sterilized (I don't want kids, have a SEVERE genetic disability that I'd passn on, can't afford my own house, like to sleep in, enjoy traveling, think the world is overpopulated enough, etc) and get attacked by men and women anytime I mention it.
I've apparently
The list goes on. If I change my mind, I'll adopt. There's nearly 400,000 children in the US foster care system and that number has nearly DOUBLED since Roe v Wade...
Only failures and dissapoints are the people who attack you. Like what's the gain for them?
Not sure. I just view it as "the trash taking itself out"
“Chosen to be a slut instead of a mom.” Wow. I’ve heard some madness in my time but that is a magnificent sentence that says so much more about the speaker than it ever could about you.
I flat out write "childfree" on dating and social apps, so people think that gives them permission to attack. I've encountered a LOT of men with breeding kinks.
I think the worst was after RvW got overturned, several of my other childfree friends got rape threats because then they'd be forced to carry their psychotic fan's child. (I'm a professional cosplayer, so are the girls that got these messages)
I'm watching all this US from a distance and it's just fucking....bewildering and surreal to see it go as it does
but I still remember that it happens to real people, and then to read things like this. fuck. that's so fucking grim.
I've seen so many girls posting that if aborting a rape baby will get you the death penalty, than you might as well take the rapist out while you're at it. I'm so glad I'm sterilized.
The entire "the world is running out of people" meme is just an attempt to find a non-religious rationale to limit reproductive choice.
i thought it's mostly repackaged great replacement at this point
Yeah, when talking about certain countries and groups of people it's suddenly "oh no we are having overpopulation" and "[people in africa/asia/with a different skin colour from mine] need to stop breeding"
porque no les dos?
Yes. Alongside a resurgence in anti-lgbt stuff.
as far as I can tell that has been the situation at every point in western history, although I see what you mean about it getting worse compared to the status quo
Yeah, I don't even tell people that that's the reason I don't have kids. Just that me and my husband are infertile, which is true because he had a vasectomy years ago.
