Nah, this system has been in place for years.

Place where I live also gives about the equivalent of 5000 USD for a birth. My wife got a single room in the hospital (very basic public hospital, but not a room with 4 other mothers). The 5k just about covered the medical costs for the pregnancy, birth and the additional cost for the room for 3 days ...

It's not a genocide anymore. We should start calling it what it is, a holocaust. The entire systematic destruction/eradication of a people, not just the murder of them, but the entire structural destruction of one.

It might be a scam, but I talked to someone through better help for a few weeks. She helped me get rid of my overall negativity really fast. She didn't teach me anything revolutionary, but she made me face the issue face on. 2y later and I haven't fallen back into my old ways. So for me personally, it was an absolute success story.

I have other issues like every human being, but I am not a Debby downer anymore around others

Nowhere? Sit with my own sadness. Go to the gym and work my frustration out on weights. Play games and forget? Unfortunately none of them healthy coping mechanisms, but talking to close ones leads to more issues because I'm very bad at putting my feelings into words without causing distress to others apparently. So inwards it goes.

Not as if the universe cares, so why should I?...

Except for musquitos. They're fair game.

Lord of the rings is a great book series.

I'm very fond of scifi, the old man war series is a very fun and smooth series to read. I like to recommend it to ppl that want to read a longer, but easy to digest series.

If you like scifi in general, you can't go wrong by picking any random nebula award winner. It's what I've done these past few years. Can't say I've regretted it this far.

You'll have plenty time to read amazing books now that you don't have to waste your time in church, reading the Bible and thinking about skydaddy. Welcome to freedom!

Except for the assassination of Abe, which was a resounding success by any measure. The perp got everything he wanted and more.

I agree with the first one. Everyone should be able to love any adult in any way shape or form they want with consent of all involved parties.

But the the relatives one runs into issues with abuse and clear voluntary consent. Grooming is an actual thing, and a much bigger potential risk if the groomer is raising you from your infancy. I would add the caveat if you really want to make it acceptable, it should only be allowed between people of the same generation, and only when they're well into adulthood.

How would you deal with violent crimes (murder, rape, abuse, things that are considered morally reprehensible by most people, regardless of religion and affiliation) without a penal system? Mob punishment?

Prayers and likes is assistance right?
