These moral bullshit arguments don’t matter. It’s not a moral problem, it’s economic. If people are able to afford the children during prime child rearing age they will have them. Case in point are the wealthy in america having a much higher fertility rate than the poor. There is no economic incentive for children, it is in fact such an incredible economic drain on most households that they literally cannot afford it. https://ifstudies.org/blog/more-babies-for-the-rich-the-relationship-between-status-and-children-is-changing

WCMM’s like lower temps, mine chill around 60f in winter and might hit 75f on the hottest days of summer. Ideally they would never get over 72f but I live in a hot region. Bettas really should be over 75f, ideally 78-82f to be active and healthy.

It’s not impossible as you’ve experienced but your not setup for success when the majority of your tank is outside recommended temperatures and you’ll probably end up losing a lot of fish to preventable diseases as a result.

I don’t have an alternative centerpiece fish but I’d recommend looking for an alternative to the white clouds, they are more of an oddball in requirements compared to most other tropical fish you see for sale. There are a lot of shoaling/schooling fish around that size that would be perfectly happy at betta temps.

The report also notes how Rodriguez says in his manifesto that protests and political rhetoric surrounding the conflict had “not amounted to much,” a crucial point. It’s not just outrage about Gaza that precipitates these acts of violence, but the belief that our political system isn’t capable of addressing such grievances. And that belief is increasingly widespread, as the previous attacks mentioned by the report suggest — not to mention other recent ones

When all peaceful options are ineffective outcomes become violent. At its core the US only recognizes one truth, the more violence you’re capable of the more power you wield.

This is a bit specific to my flavor of ADHD but might help others too. Start the thing now. Don’t wait, don’t make an excuse, just start working as soon as possible. If you don’t finish it before something else comes up that’s fine, but if you put it off you’ll probably forget and never start.

What is a horse besides winning the vote? I’m not sure I get your metaphor here

You can make whatever straw man you want but it won’t make you right.

Not really you’re just missing the point, jobs can have multiple requirements for qualification. Biden failed the same test in the polls as Harris did, primary’s dont make you president, they make you a candidate.

Stupid voters or not, the job by definition requires you get the votes. If you can’t pull votes you are unqualified. It’s not a trick statement it’s in the job description.

Polished turds are just shiny turds. She was always unlikable, people only latched on to her because of the despair Biden had the party in before he dropped out. It was a simple overcorrection in sentiment that wasted away from her failure to inspire anything, just like she failed in 2020. No amount of on the job experience teaches the lessons she failed to learn twice.

So qualified she dropped out of primaries in 2020 at 3% in the polls. She was a tool the entire time. No one with half a brain wanted to vote for her, they just didn’t have a fucking choice.

I give it a week

They will try regardless but giving them a reason will only help them succeed
