The state already takes a strong view about how any child is raised, most notably via the education system.

The Protoss SC2 campaign is just "there are N locations each guarded by progressively stronger groups of enemies" over and over again. It's tiresome. And if the writers had the balls to keep Kerrigan human and have some amount of control over the Zerg, and reckon with what she did as the Queen of Blades, then the back half of HotS would have been much more interesting.

If you went over the side it'd only delay the inevitable.

It would need either a lot of commentary and explanation, or it would just be an anthology of know the workplace rules memes.

Birth just enough of them so there are people to do the hard and risky jobs, and let everything else be done by women. One man can impregnate hundreds of women after all, so even gradually reducing the male:female ratio to less than 2:10 should be more than sufficient to keep up the population.
That's more than twice as generous as Sally Miller Gearhart's proposal to maintain the proportion of men at 10% of the human race.

It's funny how well the psyop worked in F1, when there have been so many efforts over the years to get women into gaming and none of it ever stuck. It seems like such an obvious formula too.

Petrol in remote areas needs additives put in it to stop them sniffing it and suffering brain damage.
You sometimes see the internet racists post the "don't sleep on the road" PSA video, which aired in Australia's Northern Territories. It's one of those things that I really would have expected to be so absurd to be a racist fabrication, but sadly it seems to be real.
I'm not here to promote it. I think that if we're not very careful, existing prediction markets risk stumbling into incentivizing that by default, and this is a bad thing. Prediction markets might be fine among intelligent and conscientious forecasters, but I think they're another entry on the very long list of "good-sounding ideas that go badly when you roll them out society-wide".

It's worse than that, because it also allows insider trading on literally anything you can stand up a market for, and you can also use them to directly incentivize specific behaviors without individually bribing someone or having a causal link back to the act to the person who funded it. And people complained about stochastic terrorism!

That'd be an interesting effortpost if ever you have the time. What's the main gambling people do over there?

This cannot have helped. I wonder how her story would have changed, if she'd done it at 20?
