I think it’s the fact we are so scared of death that we forget to live.
Even if we stop people drinking if we open up the country to swimming it’s inevitable people will die. It’s about minimising that risk not about removing that hobby entirely.
I always think about driving a car. If the risk is less that driving a car then I think let’s do it. I get no fun out of driving but I think that’s not risky and I do it all the time.
I always thought conscription had benefits. Tidy up the youth, teach them teamwork, toughen them up and give them self-reliance, will really help with the obesity problem.
Same reason we don’t let kids decide if they want to go to school or not. Not everyone is going to make the right choice. People do things for their and societies good. You really don’t think most people are currently doing that can you?
As much as the fat kids and the kids that have no will power and blame their lack of drive on others could benefit from structure, teamwork and exercise.
You’re right, ultimately it is too late and it just trying to fixing a failing of the state. We need to give these people more attention in school and turn them into better people than what we turn out of schools currently.

The only thing you can really do is have new experiences.
For too many people the decades look the same. No wonder time flies when you do the same thing day in day out because you don’t remember anything about them.

There some bullshit going on with phone cameras now I’m really not happy with.
I got a s22 thinking the camera would be great but its actually pretty shit. The default AI is pure bullshit it completely changes the colours “oh a blue sky. Wouldn’t it be better if it was vomit inducing blue like a overly contrasted video game?”
Then when you turn that off it still overly brightens the picture.
I’m devastated with my phone because I thought at this point it would be near perfect photos but it’s not. It’s horribly optimised.
The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink....
If women marry a man that sleeps in then he is lazy and needs to be woken up or he’s a bum. If a woman marries a man and she sleeps in he’s a dickhead if he doesn’t let her get her beauty sleep and he’s lazy if he goes to bed early.
Lowering population is an overblown issue. House prices will collapse and everyone will have a lot more money to spend on things like kids.
Humans have been moving around all the time, otherwise we wouldn’t be spread all over the globe
That comment is not about immigration that’s about expansion. Humans mostly fight other humans that come onto their land, if anything that’s the norm. So I don’t think that’s conveys the point you want.
