          More babies means more victims of water wars, climate Holocaust, and obedient serfs.

          I personally got my tubes tied. I didn’t get asked to live in a dystopia.

              It sucks being the only one in your group being aware of situations, and being ignored until shit hits the fan.

              And you can’t really go “I was right the entire time, and you were wrong the entire time” because it doesn’t solve anything. You just gotta deal with the fact people could be doing better if they paid attention when you brought it up.

              I’ve lost count how many times it’s happened. It feels like Cassandra from greek legends, or a reverse boy who cried wolf.

                Same here. I said Facebook was just to spy on people for the government in 2008. Everyone thought I was nuts. Now it’s common knowledge. It might have started off one way, but it ended that way.

                The privacy issue is what is driving me nuts now. I have done everything to convince friends to get off google, amazon, etc, suggested alternatives, talked to them about consequences, but it’s like talking to brick walls. Been saying it for years.

                All day I just tell people to stop doing bad shit and they just do it anyway. By the time they realize it, it’s too late.
