scoobdog Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 21 hours ago, Insipid said: Ok, time for a more controversial one: I am content with rising home prices. This is disincentivizing people from starting families of their own, thus leading to perhaps one of the more humane ways of population decline. There are simply too many people in the world. There are finite resources and we must share this space with other animals. Obviously, mass murdering people is out of the question, and a government policy like China's one-child policy can lead to a horrible demographic demise. Just make starting a family too expensive. Voila. Unfortunately, unreachable home prices doesn’t have this specific effect mostly because young people were priced out of the largest real estate markets nearly two decades - long enough to have been factored into family planning.

Imagine the X-Men, but you turn the whole franchise into a bleak sci fi tale similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's intended to be an epic but it just sucks the life out of them and takes away everything positive. For some reason a lot of people liked it. I'm still not over this. This writer doesn't understand there's a reason people fall asleep during Dune movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I’ve ever read a single book of his that didn’t have a completely crappy ending. Which reminds me I still havent finished the dark tower series books...and 'the Gunslinger' movie sucked so much at potraying what King himself wanted to be his J.R.R Tolkien baby, and although I have a lot of respect for Stephen King I have to agree with your point...

Icarus27k Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Classic rock and folk music depress me, and I feel an urge to make it stop playing. For example, my mom is a huge Eagles fan.
