    Some of our programming is hard to resist. If it wasn’t, there would be a lot less of us around!

        When you get a carbonator you want to try carbonating everything.

        If all it takes to horrify your palate is carbonating some pasta sauce, then for your own mental health, never ever ever ever ever ask a black person what “chitlins” are.

          I’ve spent most of my life in the South, I absolutely know what chitlins are. They ain’t great but they are what they’re intended to be: making the most out of whatever you can afford.

          I’m also Italian-American. Carbonated pasta sauce was intended for no man. It would be an abomination against God and nature.

      I would be ok with there being less of us around. I would be VERY ok with that.

      But fewer humans would be a good thing. We’re not going anywhere, might as well live within reason.

          Lots of people are. The big advent of the modern century has been keeping more people alive longer, not having more kids.

          We just happened to be born into a generation that had a glut of human labor without savvy administration to guide its usefulness.

          The next generation will be leaner. But the generation after? Who can say? 8B is a lot of people. I don’t think humanity is just winking out because we drop below replacement leave.

          Lots of other people are still having kids. It’s not on any one person or even one nation to worry about.

            My decision was more around recognizing as a teenager that due to my upbringing I did not have the tools to properly raise a well adjusted human being. And rather than make the same mistake my parents did, I just opted out.

            I got to help raise a step son later in life and think I did a decent job. But I’ve never regretted my decision to not have my own biological children.
