got rejected once, now I'm an incel!

Yeah, with that attitude you sure are. It's called dating, and you just try again until you find that awesome person

I’d much rather make a squatter homeless than have a landlord lose property,” Jacobs added

I'd much rather make poor people without an option homeless than have a rich asshole lose some money!

Interesting!

Can this work server side as well? I'd love a good PDF toolkit to integrate as a backend into my open source system

Most important missing detail though: reliable conversion from HTML to PDF

I'm currently using wkhtnltopdf and it gets unreliable results at best, especially with layout (CSS)

Any suggestions on what tool could do that best?

So genocide is okay as long as you're Jewish, or what exactly are you trying to say here?

Dear God, can we talk about issues like these without immediately dropping "nei liberal" and what not?

And if you think that South Korea is a model for the rest of the world then I'd urge you to think again.

Demographics are a bitch, and a big one. It's slow, like a freight train, but once you hear the horn sounding it's too late and you'll be splattered. Any country should have a birth rate of about 2.1, make it 2 if you slowly and safely want to shrink the population over time. The problem with a Korea is that it's going all way too fast and they're not fixing anything.

They don't get enough children for a number of reasons, one being that people are worked to death there while still not making enough money to start a family. If you want families having babies you'll need a family where one works and yet can support that entire family. You want parents to be able to have time to raise their children too. Or hell, at least give free childcare facilities so that people can work while having children.

As far as I can tell, s Korea has tried a wide variety of incentives for people to have more babies, without actually doing anything about fixing the core issue: their work culture.

What will happen next is probably not very pretty. They have few to any immigrants, so no help there either. Schools start closing because not enough kids. People will have to move to the big cities for their children to have an education at all, so you'll start seeing the small villages disappear over time

The current work force will get older and stop working but then who will do the work? There ain't enough kids to replace them. Let the old continue working after 65? Sure. Until when? 70? 80? I mean, someone needs to actually do the work to get food on the table.

Meanwhile South Korea has a bit of a problem with it's northern neighbor. So it needs a big standing army or be overrun or destroyed by the dictator from the north. How do you have an army when you don't have enough kids to even feed your own population?

South Korea as a country is dying and by now I think it's too late to do it naturally. They'll have to start looking into immigration soon or within a decade or two it'll be the end for them. Seriously, none of this is unexpected, and I'm sure the government there knows this yet they're not doing shit about it.

So how much does Putin pay you to write this shit, and if he doesn't, why are you so dumb as to do Putin's work door free? At least get paid for being a shill, dude.

Your comment and comments like it gives me a small headache

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Well..... Yeah. This.

This is an entire country again moving back to being a stalinesque fascist state where everything is about policing and control, no questions, no objections, no comments

The only way away from that will be actual reeducation, and even then... How do you propose to reeducate well over a hundred million people, large part of whom still think that staline as awesome?

And these kids? Thirty years from now they'll be soldiers ready and willing to jump into the next Putin's meat grinder to kill innocents because it's all about the king/tsar/oligarch/emperor/swine that needs to be in control

I am so fucking tired of this.

None of this is necessary. We could all live together in an awesome world where there is no war, or hunger, where everyone is equal and we all get the best of what technology has to offer

But yet, for some reason, most people prefer to be fed lies about their neighbors so that they can stay angry.

Then don't allow them to leave the state

Or just take their companies within the state.

Fuck the rich

woman

Gay

OPRNLY gay

I mean, what do you expect? Of course little butthurt loser is going to screech to conservatives which will continue carrying the screech. This hurts them to their core.

They don't care about actual metrics or anything, just the thought that a woman could do something useful goes against their beliefs.

And a gay woman? Oh my god, that must be even worse!

Tip of the day:

If the founder is still alive, it's a sect

If the founder is dead, it's a religion

Both suck, and followers of either are dumb

 

The U.S. ambassador to Canada is expressing frustration over the anti-American sentiment he sees in this country, including from politicians, after U.S. President Donald Trump hit most of the world with tariffs.
