  • I guess I’m not entirely convinced that states need to be represented at all.

    If we compare a voter in California to a voter in Wyoming, the person in Wyoming has a much stronger influence in the Senate and the judicial branch given that justices are confirmed soely by the Senate. Why should one voter have more power than another? Seems arbitrary to me.







  • She didn’t actually do the scene.

    “I turned up and was told what I would be filming would be a graphic rape scene,” she said. "This act could be watched for as long or as little time as the player wanted through a window, and then a player would be able to shoot this character in the head. “It was just purely gratuitous in my opinion.” She refused to act out the “disgusting” scene - which was made worse as she was the only female on set.





  • There was a podcast I listened to a while back that indicated the opposite, the idea was that the better off people are, the less likely they are to have kids. One of the explanations I remember was that the better off people are, kids are just another competing thing that they can do. For example, if you are well off and can go travel for a long period of time, you might be more inclined to do that vs deciding to have kids. Another stat was that birthrates were higher for lower income people.
