burnie mentioned JD being 22 to make us feel old like yes. some part of my soul withered up and died, thanks mr. burns. also really love the chapters feature, thanks for adding it to spotify (where i listen mostly).

The fact that JD is only 9 years younger than me yet I was following RvB from the start makes me question the wisdom of giving me such open access to the internet at 10 years old. Possibly related, in the state I grew up in, South Australia, it's still legal to have a 'roadie' I.e. having an alcoholic beverage while driving, as long as you stay under the legal limit for alcohol while driving.

Regarding voluntary extinction, I'd recommend looking into antinatalism and the various philosophies surrounding it. Discussions involving topics related to population could also benefit from its inclusion. You could just read the Antinatalism wiki entry or also check out something like stophavingkids.org/antinatalism for a more simplified approach.

I don't appreciate being called out and coincidentally we need to talk about the completely bullshit take you have about Conan. Had about Conan. Go listen to episode 45 of the drunk tank and get back to me, this Jordan kid needs to be vindicated!

As a 22 year old guy in scotland, I can confirm I still use snapchat. And I also tell everyone I feel old.
