    Kind of this, although some of the people I didn't know were hot.

    Although it is a huge invasion of privacy from the things I've read a lot of celebs have responded to it poorly. I mean having some nude pictures of you floating round the internet is hardly a huge deal.

    I think the most interesting part of the story is how this all happened. Plus, the one chick claiming she deleted hers years ago would give credence to the claim that there's lots of underground groups trading celeb nudes and this batch is just a small sampling of what's actually out there.

    As for the invasion of privacy, yeah it is and it's a bad thing. What I don't like though is how this has been happening to regular people for years now but because it happened to a couple top celebs it's suddenly an outrage and the haxxors must be stopped!

    Last week, I heard one morning that 1 in 6 college women will be sexually assaulted before they graduate. The next day, it was 1 in 5. By the end of the week, I saw one source recounting that a full 1/3rd of college women will face sexual assault.

    It rather seems that rape is being taken entirely too seriously as well as not seriously at all.

    I really believe Asia is eons ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to smart commuting. Why the fuck do you need two tons of metal to haul your sorry ass two blocks down the road to your shitty job. And then, when all the roads become congested the politicians go: well, we have to invest in some futuristic tunneling train or pour funding into electric shitboxes that will make you miserable just looking at it, or even worse put railways on perfectly good roads and make everyone on it long for the sweet salvation only death can bring. 776 million pounds they invested. That works out to almost $3000 per citizen. Instead, what they could have done would be to buy every able bodied worker in the city a sparkling new scooter and a Lamborghini Aventador for every disabled or fat person.

    It's probably not as bad as I imagine it to be, but I know jack likes the ladies, and the muzz don't take kindly to white men leering over their women. Which is why I'd get into trouble in Dubai. I actually have a thing for Muslim women. Some of them are fucking fine.

    I listen to a handful of bands/styles for a period of time then move on. Right now it's dubstep and 90s alt-pop.

    There are lots of Asian women there and also European and US women. And tourist women from everywhere. Not planning to mess with muslim ladies (already did that once, didn't like it although the subservience is a thing to behold). Unless she's the daughter of some super wealthy sheik, I'd go for that.

    But really, I'll have to see what it's like when I get there. There's a woman I might bring along when I go, at least for a while. First priority will be getting good at my job and that's going to take up most of my time.

    From what I hear it's mostly hanging around a condo pool with fellow expats and it grows rather tedious quite quickly. It seems its only the big money that keeps people there.

    i've been enjoying listening to it on my computer, but the bass is nowhere near as prominent as it was on those sound systems. some music is just made to be heard from speakers twice your height.

    it is for the above reason that i've also grown to appreciate 80s music more, particularly Toto's Africa. damn that's a great song.

    What is the probability of this then? I read the odds of a kid being in the autistic spectrum is roughly 1/68. And that's for the whole very wide spectrum. A kid like the one in the story linked to is on one end of the spectrum.

    Anyway, even with the full 1/68 number the odds aren't that crazy. To go through life being afraid of the 1% outliers is a bad way to go. You're almost as likely to die in a motor vehicle accident as having a kid like this but you don't refuse to travel by car anywhere.

    If I have to ballpark it, I think the probability of having children being obviously regretful is 20%, and inconspicuously regretful greater than 50%. Of course, that's getting into looser and looser definition territory. Being more strict about, it appears that the probability of having one of all the obvious, life-ruining tragedies is 10-20%, perhaps even more. This would include everything from many horrible birth defects to teenage suicide, from accidentally running your 2 year old over with your car to schizophrenia developed at age 20.

    What I called "inconspicuous regret" is a different issue and almost impossible to analyze, but I mentioned it. Examples of this are in the multitudes. One is of my sister, who tries as hard as she can to be the best mother she can, yet it's basically ruining her life and she will probably die before she recovers from the damage. Of course, she wouldn't describe it that way except in fleeting instances, but parents inhabit a paradoxical spot where they love their kids more than anything even as they're pulling their hair
  56. #14906
    I should pull back a bit on the latter point, the one about inconspicuous regret. I don't think any statistics do justice there because so much of it depends on good parenting. Two of my closest friends got married and have kids and they're extremely happy about it, but a lot of that has to do with how smart and reasonable of people they are and how it translates into simply making a great parenting team. Statistically, they're a rarity, though

    Don't worry, the probability of you finding someone willing to carry that obviously flawed seed of yours is so minuscule that all of this talk of your potential offspring is strictly hypothetical.

    My landlords kid is severely disabled. Can't talk or walk. Can't even eat without assistance. The few times I got to talk to him he seemed like a really cool guy. Studied journalim. Worked for an automotive magazine. Now he's severely overweight with a short temper. He and his wife look like they get two hours sleep a night.
    And that's not even the worst it can get. There are children born without faces or limbs. I have seen enough medical stuff that makes me really not want a kid of my own. All that aside, this planet is severely overpopulated and there are enough unwanted children floating around. Good ones, with arms and faces, who can eat and walk unassisted. Why not get yourself one of those.

    You're just confirming that it sucks when you end up in that unlikely scenario which I never disagreed with. My question was how likely is it?

    As for the adopted kids who knows? It's definitely a smart idea and seems like a great idea on paper but for whatever reason people would rather have their own kids.

    I guess if you really want one nothing is going to stop you. I'm not even saying noone should have children. We're living in the best times this planet has ever seen if you're an upright walking ape, so why not let more people enjoy it before the robot wars ruin everything.

    But then you said that.

    As it happens, I have a few guilty pleasers from the 80's. Madonna, Belinda Carlisle, Kylie, even Bananarama... but Toto makes me sick.

    Check these out Aubrey, it's Greek, awesome, and needs a lot more love than the paltry 633 hits it currently has...

    And that's not even the worst it can get. There are children born without faces or limbs. I have seen enough medical stuff that makes me really not want a kid of my own. All that aside, this planet is severely overpopulated and there are enough unwanted children floating around. Good ones, with arms and faces, who can eat and walk unassisted. Why not get yourself one of those.
    Yeah but abortion is murder, soooo

    Sorry. Nobody has gathered the data on the issue. I was ballparking based on what we do have as well as speculation

    The West has maybe 2-3% birth defects. 1% of people end up getting schizophrenia. About 1% get autism.

    Start compiling all these and everything like them: suicide, murder, cancer, death or disorder by other diseases, and you get some pretty hefty numbers. Then add the harder to define things like depression. Then add the even harder to find things like quality of life. Then I think you find the probability of having children being regretful is much higher than people want to admit


    Besides that, nobody wants to compile this data in the first place. There are some skeletons humans just don't want to confront. So far, any discussion we have on this issue won't be able to find much hard data to back it other than really simple stuff like just adding up defect and incidence rates, which themselves can be very hard to find

    So I was in Bumfuck Eastern Oregon and went to a memorial erected for the 8-12 men from the county who died in WW1. It was sad. Made me tear up. A bunch of guys who never made it to 25, dying for their country, their families, they'll never know how good we got it. Yet here I am, a selfish crybaby cunt who takes everything for granted
