I find the repeated comments of how much parenting 'sucks' and how much childbearing 'sucks' to be distasteful.
It has been the single most incredible experience I've had (5 times over).
I feel like, primarily, the reason why our society isn't having children is because of a growing selfishness and entitlement; which happens to be the very thing that Rome was suffering from when their society was collapsing too.
No, I'm not rich and I'm not old. But I was brought up in a family that cherished loved ones and family. Love was agape, not eros.

I would go further and suppose that any Christian elder or leader who volunteered to do this had already demonstrated their unsuitability to speak on the matter of psychedelics and God.
I've been using Conduit for quite a while now and have found it to be very good.
For ages though it has been missing support for spaces, but support has just landed in the development builds and it is great. I've already updated my service and it has worked as expected.
I love that this is a discussion here. How profitable! There are very few questions that are of greater importance than the one you have alluded to.
I'm a Christian and, oddly, don't suffer from the same existential dread as most admit any more, but I used to be consumed by it.
The simplest way I could say it is this: once you are shown what is behind the curtain and you place your trust in the one who's running the show then dread gives way to overwhelming peace. That's what happened for me and I guarantee that anyone who seeks the same true God will find the same peace.
Easy to dismiss, I know, but I guarantee it's true. Odd, eh?
Part of dealing with your existential dread is accepting the fact that you're right to be afraid, but not for the reasons you first think. This will be a bridge too far for some, but a discerning reading of this could be the catalyst some need: https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/edwards_jonathan/Sermon...
I've got Minetest on my machines. Another good one along these lines is Veloren. It's a Rust voxel game along the lines of minecraft and Dwarf Fortress.
The guy is literally describing how to shut down discussion on topics by escalating behaviours around it.
The great problem with this approach is that there are very many groups happy to see discussion of divers topics quashed and they're already familiar with how to get it done on platforms like Twitter.
I don't think Canonical have taken a ux-first approach to their development since the early days of their distro accelerating the evolution of the Linux desktop experience.
They're much more business-goal minded now. In this instance, making their users dog food their new shiny enterprise play.
In my ~6 years of using Wayland I've never experienced anything like this. In fact, my experience has been that the entire desktop experience was smoother and less buggy.
Admittedly, I've steered clear of NVIDIA products which may have helped.
