@great-big-stees saidAs I said, the West has created a society that makes having kids actually a negative. If you look at Kissenger's report on the need to stop population growth, you can see it is intentional.
I read, recently, that we Canadians, are falling behind in our population growth (not via people coming here from elsewhere). Seems the generations who can have children are, either only practicing or have decided not to take on the responsibility of child rearing. Who’s going to pay for the elder’s government pensions in the future? A problem, by the way I won’t have to worry about.🤔😲😉👍

@great-big-stees saidA problem we are leaving behind for our children and their children our grand children. We are leaving them in a much tougher situations than we ever had it. No knows how this virus is going to go yet either just very hopeful.

We been talking about doing something global warming since the 70's and probably before that, and nothing done. Now they are seeing it wasn't a scare tactic it was a real thing.

@very-rusty saidThis is true in part, but given the choice of being born in any century since the beginning of civilization, I would choose to be born in the 21st century. There will be challenges ahead for sure, but future generations are going to live in an exciting age of space exploration and technologies we can't even begin to fathom.

@badradger saidMan windows 10 is so much better and user friendly. I've never experienced windows 7 but have friends who have. Said there is quite a difference. I went right from Window XP Pro to windows 10. I used it until they stopped making updates for it.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI asked a woman at work recently (she is 30) if she knew what a gramophone was.
That's very nearly a gramophone.
She thought for a moment then said she had heard the word but didn't know what one is. I then asked her if she knew what a cassette player was, 'Oh yes my first car had one of those'. Thank you Ford lol.

@badradger saidHey, your choice. I am sure your wife is quite happy with her windows 10. You only have to put in the info once.

@badradger saidHaven't you reached a point where Windows 7 doesn't work? I did, and instead of changing programs I bought a new computer with Windows 10 already installed, mine was too old anyway.

@Torunn
He said they weren't supporting it, so just a matter of time and no updates if that hasn't already happened. Someday we will hear about the big crash.

@badradger saidGod ..... vinyl, I loved the cover designs and the smell of a shiny new album but they eventually got covered in scratches. Are the new ones any better or are they read by something different to a stylus?

@the-gravedigger saidI thought she was going to say something like, “😉👍Of course I know what at gramophone is. It’s my grandmother’s phone...the one you crank and say, can you connect me with Mrs. Johnson over in Glasgow?”📞

@drewnogal saidNo.
Are they worth the cost?
Avoid all relationships where the woman has kids.
The woman wants you to put her first but she will always put her kids first.
Also, parents lack the stones to throw the bums out when they are older so now we see young adults still living with their parents and it's pathetic.
