A society that values individualism and monetary success to the exclusion of everything else is not compatible with raising children. Raising children requires family and community support, selflessness, and hope that your children will be at least as well off as you.

People have no time, money, or energy. They're not healthy or happy. They're not connected to their communities. They work too much and get paid too little. This is neoliberalism's final gasp before dying a death it cannot possibly prevent while retaining its principles, which is why we're seeing it morph into fascism.

    No charges were ever filed against Paul Nungesser. Columbia University found him not responsible in their inquiry, NYPD declined to charge him, and the district attorney said there was no reasonable suspicion.

    Nungesser did end up suing the school for a Title IX violation and they settled out of court.

    Furthermore, the people most likely to kill and abuse their partners and children are men, and I don’t see any suggestions that all men need a psychological screening.

    It should be noted that women are much more likely to kill children in their first year of life. With the seriousness of postpartum mental health issues maybe we really shouldn't be leaving mothers alone with their children? I mean this in multiple ways, including that recent parents should have far more support including visits by a nurse or midwife, social services, etc. to make sure parents know what to do and have what they need to do it. Our society leaves people to fend for themselves far too often.

    I'm not terribly concerned if people write code and test it with AI, so long as they verify the results themselves.

    I recently saw someone try to add a PR to something on github with thousands of lines of changes and then they got mad when people didn't want to do the free labour verifying it. That is a bullshit use of AI
