Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

Chelsea FC saying "You can have it all, freeze your eggs", it's really brutal.

I'm a parent at an older age. We wanted kids from early on but it just didn't happen until recently.

There's major trade-offs to having kids later. You have a better financial situation for sure, and if you strive for wisdom you can become a wiser parent, but you also still have the same number of years of life.

Someone who has kids at 20 might have their kids reach adulthood when they're 40, reach middle-age when they're 60, and be retired when they're 80.

If you have kids at 40, then they're going to reach adulthood when you're 60, middle age when you're 80.

That's a lot. That 20 years can mean the difference between helping your kid move by moving boxes and helping your kid move by hiring movers. It can mean the difference between watching their kids or not being able to.

You can't have it all. Every choice is a trade-off, you're giving up something. Choose to have kids younger, there's a trade-off. Choose to have kids later, there's a trade-off.

It makes sense then, that these companies would ask you to make the trade-offs that primarily benefit them.

The renaming of places to America will continue until morale improves.

There are 15 places called London in the US -- potentially 15 places that can be renamed America.

22 places called Paris in the US -- potentially 22 more places that can be renamed America.

Then we move onto Berlin, Moscow, Rome, Athens, and Dublin. There won't be a place left in America that isn't called America.
