A fact that we both agree. Birth control allows the freedom to get a career, find the right partner, and have stability before having a child. Few outside outside of the criteria you already mentioned wants kids without out those 3 things.

I wouldnt call it marginal. Nice chunk of the birth rate decline is teen and early 20's pregnancy . Which is fantastic as a child of a mid teen. No one that age should be a parent.

But rates for ppl that are 30+ are going up. Because they found what they need.

More reason to hate the "you can have any color as long as its black" guy

Some do stay. For example, I went to a wedding in a small town where bride and groom moved away from but there were still plenty of ppl who stayed and had kids in the town. And not even a small chuck because specially because of the culture in the region.

However in some regions that number is dwindling hard. Look at rural america or Japan. The losses are heavy and towns are in shambles.

So irresponsible uneducated parents are having children while responsible educated parents are not. We need the latter to have kids and they wont if they cant provide a good life for their children.

Reading the title: How interesting, he's promoting a movie from one of the worst directors I have ever heard of. Oh of course.

I checked imdb and it had 6.8 which I 1000% cannot believe is accurate as somone who watched other uwe boll movies. I know its been 20 years since I seen one but they were all d tier and need to be lost by time or used as template on what not to do. I dk how he even got those actors in there.

From wiki

[10] Elon Musk subsequently promoted the film and made it available for free on X for two days.[11] Following its release on streaming, it became the No. 1 purchase on both the Apple TV Store and Amazon Prime Video.[12]

And Wtf ppl payed for this when it wasnt even in theaters?

To no ones shock. I saw some of the initiatives countires are doing and they are not strong enough. 500$ usd a month is not going to change someone's mind if the issues is affordability with ppl paying triple that for babysitting.

And if the issue is they just dont want kids its even more worthless. Add in a culture where you are a corpo wage slave that cant even enjoy being a parent.

Fuck yeah.

Imagine if america built solar panels instead of bomb negotiation. But the american admin seems hell bent in making the worst choices. Good on china for showing how to do international policy.

What kind of things could a person carry to sell and how if they ever had to forcibly leave?

I read diamonds are worthless second hand.

Solid gold seems legit but not sure if coins or jeweler is best.

I saw something about getting gold chains to trade individual links in a emergency.

Are there any other good tips?

‐---------‐----------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Put in a Consolidation effort based on comments and side research

  1. Jewelery is good getting through customs as some countries have limits on what you can take over borders. Canada for example has 10k limit before you have to delcare and it is not clear if per person.

1.a) Always buy jewelry you plan to wear anyway because you will not get full value back.

1.b) Buy from reputable locations. Looks like Mene was a popular one.

  1. Gold coins are good but get normal ones like Eagles, Buffalo, or Maple as it's easier to sell. Fancy ones are cool as collector item but will require more haggling.

2a) Bars are cheaper over spot but can be harder to sell overall

2b) Seems like libertycoin had consistent reviews.

  1. Cash is light but if your origin country currency dips then it's worthless.

  2. Crypto requires you to have your wallet seed and importantly access to a pc and electricity.

  3. Make sure to have a backup skil/trade to live off of.

  4. Transferring money between banks can have legal issues.

House refinanced 3x (reddthat.com)

My grandmother bought the home we lived in the 90s for 90k at a 8% interest rate. I found out she refinanced the house several times from what seems like predatory practices and malicious advice and now owes 250k at 6%. Basically the house I thought was paid off now has 30 mortgage and she is 90. Her grandkids are in the will to inherent the house but do we inherent this mortgage?

Well after 10 years I just got banned by ADAfruit indefinitely for not shipping to my home address. I don't know wtf that was about. I think they banned both addresses so I screwed my friend over. Anyone know of any other alternative sites?
