In some ways. Think of all the people who die from misadventure or lifestyle. They'd still be dead at the same ages. The same minority that becomes superannuated would probably have the same habits.

While it's true that having more experiences leads to more wisdom, the actual distribution probably doesn't work out much differently. Curiously though, modern medicine saving people from their bad choices doesn't seem to have paid dividends in the form of a more sober society.

It would definitely alter how the economy operates, as the base of the population pyramid wouldn't be any wider.

The go to is usually a generic polyethylene glycol powder with lots of water. Brand names are Miralax, ClearLax, GlycoLax, etc.

You're getting older now, and your body is undergoing changes. You'll get hair in funny places, and your lactase production is diminishing. That means you can't have pizza as often, and you have to learn to enjoy letting someone else enjoy a few slices of the pie.

It's all down the tubes from here.

Mostly. Companies give poor treatment to their employees and customers, and I don't want to be a part of it.

I want nationalized healthcare so I can open my own shop and not exploit anybody.

Reddit will get slightly better when all the losers head off to the shediverse.

Then it'll get worse again as the IPO rolls on.

That's why there is the lie flat movement in China. There is no future in this dumpster fire of a country.

The benefits of civilization are not shared, so there is no real reason for most people to bother maintaining the pretenses.

6th grade girl raped in a gender-inclusive restroom at school. Which must be fake news because this doesn't happen. by iamonlyoneman in whatever

The appropriate penalty for rapists and their enablers should be castration. If they're not allowed within half a mile of schools, they shouldn't be allowed near future minors, either.

I hope they don't come here.

Moderation should always be transparent. There should always be some sort of chain of custody of evidence. Government censorship always has a paper trail. Corporate censorship is automated. The ability to completely erase any trace of wrongthink would probably give even Goebbels pause.

Locking a comment tree should always be an option, but actually deleting someone's words should only ever happen if there is some harm that arises, as from a malicious link. Defining harm as the emotional response to not agreeing with something is buffoonery.
