Its quite Sobering to look at a social media post from a former classmate showing off their teenagers accomplishments and think: "Wow, I don't remember them having a kid in school." then realize you've been out of High School long enough your friends have teenage children.

Dark Lords of the Sith have ruled collectively and individually for Millenia. One afraid to wield a power is ultimately unworthy of it. Ascendancy into the light has an apex, yet descent into the darkness is endless. The Dark Side can give or take anything, based on user strength. I claim the title of Darth Prodigal Dark Lord of the Sith as my own. Through pain, our Code, and right of combat it is mine; and so shall it be defended. Follow Darth Bane's wisdom.

I don't know, keep hearing conflicting numbers/assertions. News says it's down, others say no. I agree with not likely rising but truly falling, and my acquaintances are probably just foolish people acting counterintuitively. I counter that spending entirely too much time "trapped" in close quarters adds more strain than magic... but perhaps that's just me. I mean it's not like the world couldn't use this collectively given overpopulation trends, but even this plus da plague will barely make a dent in a decade or 2 it'll be the same or worse again. (Don't mind me, just hate people.)

well...you both get dark side points for that one. Your point regarding the quantity of people on the planet has some merit but i wonder if that view would change if the quality of contribution and distribution of the same were improved.

Everything I have seen has said the Pandemic has caused a "Baby Bust". That overall the birthrate is much smaller right now. It is baffling for me that there are people who don't want to stay home. I hate leaving my house every morning before the sun comes up and trudging an hour to a place I don't want to go to. If I had the option to work from home I would take it in a heart beat. When I feel like going outside I have a back yard that can serve that purpose just fine. As such I have not stopped going to work since the world went to hell.

i am of the same mindset in that i prefer working from home. Many people do not have the option (retail, service, etc.). Out of those who do, some do not have the means to do so effectively (consider working from the kitchen table). Out of those who have the means and the option, some have not learned how to adjust (not able to 'disconnect' from work, etc.). This pandemic has served to enlighten some executives on the benefits (*hint - it has to do with money*). The global workforce is still behind in leveraging the advantages of technology. we are the few. the privileged. the telecommuters.

I'm a retail Manager but not for a store open to the general public so...no teleworking for me. I love to work...but I hate going to work. I'm from the South in the middle of nowhere. I will garden, chop firewood, repair stuff etc all day...its leaving my house I hate. I spent a lot of time and money filling it with stuff I like.
