You need to kill the young and child-bearing ages to reduce population.
Thats why democrats invented abortions.

So where do you get wheat and corn from.
I mostly buy them, but I do plan to grow some corn.

You feed them dandelions???
Dandelion flowers and greens.
They seem to eat most of it, especially the flowers.
And since dandelions grow for free in my yard, the only work is 5 minutes it takes to collect them.
Chickens do seem to eat grass which is available in their fenced area.
I gave them a small area on land so they can feed on it.
But I still bring them edible plants I find in other places on my land.
Split the farm into sections
Every split, every fence, costs money.
I had to pay to completely secure chickens from both air and land predators.
But my farm is currently small. I have less than 20 chickens.
There is not much to split.
I do plan to build another fenced area for a new chicken coop, but I first have to see how this one turns out.

Depends on what you feed them and how you get it.
I feed mine wheat, corn, dandelions, catkins...
I even plan to enable them to catch grasshoppers once grasshoppers appear.
A lot of their food can come from nature.
Or you can grow food for them.
But if you are only feeding them bought food and keep them in cage so they cant forage, you cant really expect much profit because cost of your buisness is high.

My biggest problem is that I will have to constantly check eggs.
I dont wanna open an egg and find dead chick in it.
Also, selling such an egg to anyone would mean that someone will never buy from me again.
Without rooster, you get unfertilized eggs which dont even contain a chick and never would anyway.
Its the closest thing to vegan chicken egg there is.
However, I am slightly worried that seller sold me some roosters.
Its hard to tell difference between male and female chickens when they are young.
So if I got some roosters, then its irrelevant, but if they are all female chickens, then I have a choice to get or not get rooster.
I am kinda split between having rooster and getting free chickens and being forced to check eggs all the time, or have no rooster but being forced to buy new chickens when these stop producing.
They usually produce eggs for 2 or 3 years, but they can live up to 10 years.
Vegetarian animal farming is very hard, since farms which slaughter animals always have an advantage, in terms of cost and profit.

Every abortion is murder of a baby.
Even refusing to reproduce means you are murdering a baby that would be alive if you chose to reproduce.

Perhaps he's a very stable genius studying us by seeing whose going to jump on the offered bandwagon / throw a temper tantrum.Perhaps he's just nuts.
I am definitely not a genius.
My IQ is like 100.
I think you need somewhere around 140 or more to be a genius.
100 is barely average.
Although maybe my autism makes me look that way because I talk in strange way, but thats just autism talking.
There is no need to study me or consider me as some threat, but people with autism are often understood as a threat because we act in ways other people cant understand.

No, I didnt get a rooster yet, but I just might because people are basically giving them away for free.
He is not needed for egg production tho, and I am not gonna use chickens for meat, so its a bit of a question if I should or should not get rooster.

So I wanted to start an egg farm, and I finally got the chickens.
I gave them some dandelions, some green plants I found.
I also gave them catkins and apple, but they werent as interested.
I was told that because they were fed with certain food, it will take them some time to get used to food I give them.
I also give them grains.
They havent yet started laying eggs.
Its gonna take some time.
My goal is to feed them with variety of food, and give them plenty of water.
I dont have raspberries yet, or strawberries grown, so I think a bought apple or some other fruit will have to be for now.

Yes, you can easily program computer to make moves for you at hardest difficulty.
Or just play the moves of your opponent vs computer, then play against your opponent whatever computer plays against you.
Its a winning strategy, but so boring one its not worth it to do on a large scale.

I still think good of North Korea, even with the new free market views, its still one of the best countries to live in.
Before, I was always on the side of Communism and against capitalism, so its fun playing on the other side of the field, the capitalist side.

According to
Budget deficit is 1.8 trillion.
Abolishing healthcare from budget would eliminate deficit, and abolishing public schools would put budget in surplus.
Created:
I believe in 3 policies:
1. Free market
2. Military to protect the free market
3. Some support to the poorest
So in my view, USA should have the following budget:
1. Current military spending is good enough at about 900 billion dollars.
2. Healthcare budget should be abolished completely.
3. All schools should be private, not payed by government
4. Poor people should get income of 500$ a month, which is about 6000$ a year, and with 40 million poor people, thats 240 billions.
So with abolishing healthcare budget and public schools, US budget would save over 2 trillion dollars.
Basically, the only increase in spending in this new budget would be 240 billions to the poor.
240 billion is insignificant to 2 trillions being saved.
Taxes should be reduced slightly.
Some money should also be printed, it shouldnt all come from taxes.

Put this much effort into a workout regime, diet and/or work itself (for money) and your life will improve.
I agree, however I dont workout.
Diet? I have a diet different from most people, which was the result of long research.
Work? I have started a chicken farm, so we will see how that goes.
It's people who are too anxious and perfectionist that often overload themselves and fear starting things.Try to calmly make this for your life. Then realise chaos will happen and fuck your plans up but try to stick to the order anyway, even if the days/times get screwed, your life will begin to shift. The choice is yours.
Sure.

Often you will encounter trolls when online, so here are the options how to deal with them.
1. Ignore
Probably the most simple strategy which requires least effort.
Simply, dont respond or even read what trolls write, or just change topic back to what it was.
2. Respond with positive
-Positive about yourself
-Positive about the troll
-Positive about someone else or something else
Trolls hate positivity. In fact, giving compliment to troll will often put them off balance.
3. Respond with negative
-Negative about yourself
-Negative about troll
-Negative about someone else or something else
I dont encourage this option, but saying something bad about yourself often confuses the troll.
4. Respond with neutral
-Neutral about yourself
-Neutral about troll
-Neutral about someone else or something else.
Neutral is neither positive nor negative, but it confuses the troll because it cant figure out what are you trying.
5. Respond with irrelevant
-Irrelevant about yourself
-Irrelevant about troll
-Irrelevant about someone else or something else
This is considered trolling tactic, so why not use it against trolls?
6. Respond in opposites
Making two contradictory statements one after another does not make you vunerable to attack, rather it shows that you are aware of options.
7. Negate
-Say that certain logic or information is assumption(unproven).
-Disprove logic or information.
-Outweigh with arguments.
-Make assumptions yourself which cannot be disproved or proved.
8. Turn it into positive
Add facts or assumptions which makes the troll's claim work for you to make you look good
9. Counter-option
Write an option contradictive to troll's claim.
10. Ask troll a question
Trolls are often confused by questions, since most of them dont expect that so are unprepared.

-Opinions on things
11. Demands
12. Prayers
-Prayers to many different Gods, one God at the time.
13. Reward system
-This site lacks the proper reward system for activity, and I am not yet sure how to introduce one.
I dont say that these 13 will be occuring in any specific order, but I want to have them written so I am aware of many options I have when posting.

It seems that any time government tries to have high taxes and run buisnesses, it ends bad.
In theory, Communism works.
The government elected by people redistributes the wealth so that all basic needs of all are met.
In practice?
Government is corrupt.
It wants money for itself.
Buisnesses bribe the government to work for them, or worse, some members of government have private buisnesses and they use their position to make more money.
Of course, it would be great if government printed limited amount of money to give to the poor, but it doesnt work because government has no interest to do that.
Government is simply greedy.
Those who fight to be in power arent some saints or angels, but people who enjoy the feeling of power and decision making for others.
I think after 200 years of failed government policies, one can not really hope that it "gets better" any time soon.

The official US site says the budget spends 1.7 trillion on healthcare.
So I did math.
There is about 170 million people in USA, including children, who are in low to middle income families.
So 1.7 trillion divided by 170 million = 10,000 per person
Family has 4 persons, so thats 40,000$ per family.
If we include all Americans, 340 million, even the very rich ones, we would still have at least 5000$ per American, which is 20,000 a year per family.
There is simply no way to justify these numbers unless every American is eating pills like candies.

The only thing which current healthcare budget does is drive up the price.
Its difficult to regulate, because both doctors and patients can misuse it, and there were cases where doctors demanded plenty of unnecessary procedures just to earn more money, and patients didnt care as it was mostly not their money.
Its kinda like if I have 5 dollars and can spend it on anything, then all buisnesses have to compete for my 5 dollars.
But if government takes my dollars and says I can only spend it on healthcare, there needs to be not only government workers regulating that, but competition disappears since only one buisness can get the money.
The only one who profits is the one buisness.

Its taxes, its lots of unnecessary spending.
I dont see how can US budget spend over a trillion on healthcare.
Thats over 10,000$ a year per person, 40,000$ per family.
It would objectively be much better if that money was simply directly given to people, because I dont know which family spends 40,000$ a year on healthcare, except rare cases.

This is a toxic mess, you need to enter it with the right mindframe and ration how often you visit it. If you do that, it's a kind of 'strengthening' tool in a way, a fun outlet for intellectual flexing with words in a dingy corner of the Internet.
I agree that the site is toxic, but I cant seem to take a break from it.
I do tend to either ignore things I dislike or respond with some amount of disliking things or just things, but I really cant get myself to go away for like 2 or 3 days.
Its mostly because other sites arent as fun.
YouTube is full of bots and spam, and I dont even use it to debate anymore because you have to post like 100 comments to get one somewhat logical debate.
In fact, people are such trolls there that they literally repeat same argument 10 comments later after you negate it.

I heard something like cat being run over by a car the other night.
It was still alive for some time, for a couple of minutes, dying in pain, twisting, until it died.
So the next day I went out and cat was still on the road.
I approached it and started thinking about its life.
"Looks like you died buddy.
You probably had a hard life as a cat living on the street eating from trash.
People probably kicked you all the time, and never pet you.
The only love you might have ever got was for a short time as a kitten from your cat mom, until she too rejected you.
You had to fight for your life many times, and looks like your life ended by being dead on a road.
They will probably just throw you into trash can which you used to eat from and they will forget about you.
Nobody will ever know anything about your life.
Nobody will remember you.
But I will.
I will remember that there was a being which was forced to be alive only to die terribly in pain, the cruel injustice in the world based on injustice.
So in a way, you were important to open my eyes regarding the lack of humanity in humans, the society which is a cruel machine which does not operate on compassion, a cruel driver which does not even care about the horrible pain he caused you.
I am sorry that my knowledge had to come at the price of your horrible pain.
Thank you, cat, and farewell.".

you can troll yourself
Dont worry, my trolling is based on arguments, and I notice that people for some reason are unable to ignore lots of arguments or insults even when its obvious they are being trolled.
And I am not just talking about ordinary people, but even top debaters cant seem to resist.
Now, of course, my trolling is based on shapeshifter strategy, where sometimes I lead people into believing one thing about me and then counter it.
I sometimes like to act clueless and weak to give people confidence to attack me.
Of course, I learned it all from Kokomi, The Art of War.

I agree that there is spectrum, there are degrees of things.
However, cycles help me better to explain these things easier.
For example, a spectrum of 0 to 5 on hunger would have to be explained something like:
"Hunger always at 0 is bad. Its better to have hunger at 2 and 3 for a day, and then 0."
Its a longer way of explaining, and I kinda try to explain things in a simple way.
