No, I live in a pretty small place. My point is that we could probably find all kinds of ways to cram way more people on the planet. But would we want to? Is that really the world anyone wants to live in?

The fact that I don't speak any other languages doesn't imply that I'm only referring to English speakers. That's a ridiculous argument.

And I don't advocate that people stop procreating. I don't actually advocate anything, but I don't personally think it would be a net harm if the entire population of the world chose to have less children for a generation or two.

Nope, I think the world would be better with less of everyone.

I mean, you could probably fit four families in my apartment, but does anyone want to live that way? It's not a question of how many people the planet can hold, it's a question of how many people would be comfortable for it to hold. And that's not even getting into the fact that other creatures have a right to be here also.

I mean, we are overpopulated, but the solution is just to have fewer kids. Yeah, us older folks will suffer the consequences of less young people to care for us in our old age, but after that's over, things could be pretty nice for the planet.

Another commenter called it eerie, but I would say more tragic. It depicts the moment after Ivan has struck his son a deadly blow in a fit of rage.

I would expect nothing less from MacGyver.

Looks like I found my people.

[–] demlet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Where's the challenge in that?

[–] demlet@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Disappointing.

All these maga farmers are going to lose their farms to Trump's buddies and then we'll all be paying more for food.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, and certainly not anyone in an executive or military role.
