I'm sure she suffered, too. He fathered a child on her, after all.

Only partly serious.

My company changed the policy to increase the time between password changes. To compensate, they increased the required password length.

Neither of these policy changes were communicated to the employees. The expiry time tells you when it arrives (don't tell me you change it before it expires, good for you if you do), but if your new password doesn't meet the policy requirements it doesn't tell you what they are. The support request response indicated the minimum length was three letters longer. The only good thing about this ordeal is that I get paid by the hour.

Or you could just watch him in interviews over the last 40 years. Very obvious decline.

His casinos lost 90% of their worth before they went bankrupt. Before you come in with the excuse that the economy drastically affected his ability to run a money-making machine, the other casinos in the area only doubled their worth in the same time. It was a difficult time, but you have to be pretty dumb to lose money in a business with the unofficial slogan of "the house always wins."

But he sure showed those scientists!

I started having trouble with one of my knees when I was a teenager, probably due to reckless behavior. Still have chronic joint pain, with most of them, but at least I don't get the acute knee pain anymore. I can usually tell when my knee movement is going to cause problems and stop the action before it kicks in. But it's been at least a year since i was pain free without medication.

I'd rather drink regular water than these drinks that taste like you refilled a glass that had previously been used for a drink that actually had flavor, but enjoy it if that works for you. It's certainly healthier than regular sodas.

Nah, I can't see Teump getting on his knees. Not because of pride but because he probably wouldn't be able to get back up without help.

Well, that's all well and good, but that has little to do with anything the other person, or the article were talking about. It's all well and good to disagree that a reduced population will lead to more wealth equality, or that climate change or AI will derail these predictions, but accusing the other person of eugenics or genocide is hyperbolic at best.

Also, for the last century, the less educated have been disproportionately increasing the population, typically because people with less education are living in poorer countries, which leads to more child mortality, and children are basically the only retirement plan people had prior to the last century. Why you would think this would change is beyond me, because we still have no indication even today that the more educated or wealthy are interested in having more kids, outliers like Elon Musk and Nick Cannon notwithstanding.

The portion per capita that Americans pay for Medicare and Medicaid is about the same as Canadians pay for our Healthcare. Then they get the privilege of paying insurers and others for the coverage they have if they don't qualify for those two programs.

What about if people don't die prematurely, but the population isn't replaced? Because that's the scenario this article is talking about. Not additional deaths, but fewer births.
