there's way less content going around here

You mean less AI spam, and advertising? Reddit's content is long gone.

The only thing is the remnant of finding recent issues/solutions because Reddit is google crawled, and Discord is not (yet)

    Ukraine is gonna hurt for the next two years.

    Congress/Senate will withhold all of Trumps funding, which Ukraine will be caught up in that and US Government will shutdown, as Trump vetos everything

    The question will be, once the government has shut down for so long, will left over republicans in the Senate finally convict and remove Trump with that 2/3rd vote

    I'm pro-union,

    But there are legit downsides to consider.

    Most often,

    • Minor Problem - Fee's (typically they aren't that much)

    • Moderate Problem - Union Management eventually gets big enough, they lose touch with the workers

    • Biggest Problem... Union's protect people that absolutely deserve to be fired, and protect the useless far too often. You get stuck with co-workers that by every metric should have been let go, but the Union keeps them.

    These are my own anecdotal opinions that I've personally experienced working in both Union and Non-Union situations.

    Where does the matter go?

    We take it out of the ground, put it into circulation of our food cycle,

    It's not like it goes up in smoke and disappears from the planet.

    So where's all those elements go?

    Answer -> Sewage

    At some point we'll break even where it's cheaper to reclaim those elements from sewage treatment than mining it.

    So no... 80% of humans staving to death because we can't mine these elements isn't something we'll need to worry about long term.

    If in the future, abundant energy isn't available for reclamation, then overall costs of living will increase slowly over the years, and then population rate will decrease (as it already is doing)

    It's not like one day we'll run out, and suddenly there's a massive staving event.
