   I'm an Optimist, not because I don't live in reality, and refuse to see the bad things in the world. I'm an Optimist, because I do see those things, but I also believe that the only way to start changing them is the belief that they can be changed.

   I'm an Optimist, because I study history. I'm an Optimist, because of my own history, and the history of other's I've met along the way. I've seen the worst happen to people, and they mourn and grieve, but somehow get up again. Not just get up, but determine to break the trauma for the next generation.

   I'm an Optimist, not because I don't get overwhelmed and depressed, but because the reason I do, is I hate suffering, because I have empathy for people. I can keep being an Optimist, because I know so many of you do too.

   It's easy to say the world is bad, and will always be bad, and there is truth in that, the bad will always be there, but that ignores that there is good, has been good, and will continue to be good, and having a vision that it can be better makes you a part of that good. I am an Optimist, because it is the only way things change, because excepting darkness as the only option, isn't an option for me.

   @KeepTakingTheSoma Getting rid of the Matrons for these over paid buffoons of mangers was a bad idea, so was making nursing a degree. This carry on in all sectors, not just health, of parachuting generic managers into things, people who have no clue, did not work their way up, don't know the first thing about whichever job it is needs to stop too.

   It's the piss taking that has been going on, same with the benefits system too, wrecked the joint to the detriment of genuine need.

   Blair's cramming the unis was another load of nonsense, need more people doing apprenticeships for proper jobs, not pissing around with Mickey mouse degrees in farting trannies of the world and their effect upon climate change, everybody is spicy neuro and incapable of finding their own arse with a map without having a breakdown about it.

   @tomie
   My problem is, that I still do consider faggots to be a completely separate entity from the troons and idiotgenders. But, the issue is, that vast majority of faggots do see it that way, ans will do whatever they can to make sure you see them that way too.

   It's ridiculous.

   However, the wasp wasn't satisfied with just the bee's abdomen.

   Four minutes after it left with that, it returned, wrestled the upper half of the bee from the spider's grip, & flew off with that too.

   The spider, resigned to the situation, crawled to the other side of the stem to resume its hunt.

   One can only hope it managed to get at least some nourishment from the bee before the wasp did the dirty.

   And the jackal flies will doubtless return next time too.

   It's war out there, I tell you.

   It certainly didn't help, but the rates have been falling since before 2021. These articles also don't break down how many people want to have children but are struggling with fertility, versus people who aren't having children out of choice (which would be a greater indicator of the issue with the jab).

   Honestly, I do think there is also an aspect of moral panic here too. You cannot have infinite growth. A population dropping gradually isn't bad. But what is shitty is people who try to encourage anti-natalism. If you don't want to have kids, don't have kids. But don't justify it as some noble or good thing. If you want to have kids, have kids. But don't say it's a moral imperative for everyone to have kids, and don't shame people who have 5+ kids. If they can take care of them, that's fine too.

   It will suck as the current generations age. There will be a lack of people to take care of the elderly, and that will be an interesting challenge to solve. Social security will become insolvent in most countries. But we're also at 7 billion+ people. There's no danger of extinction.

   If the first episode of On Rails made you think, smile, or nod along, there’s a simple way to help others find it too.

   It only takes a moment, and your honest take matters.
