How many households still have their biological father in them? How many kids still live one, if not both, of their biological parents? How many children are being raised by a family member that is not their biological parent?
We are the first era to know who the biological father was. It's believed that the family unit is strengthening, not decaying. The past wasn't that idealogical. You can make lots of fine arguments that family units are not strong. but I don't think that you can make that argument in the relative sense to the past.
We are, for example, the generation with the lowest teen pregnancy rates, ever. So many assumed social problems of the past are effectively gone today. The past wasn't the rosy place that we imagine, not one hundred years ago, not a thousand years ago.
Since you brought it up, why is teen pregnancy a bad thing? From what I can tell, mostly because society (people) have deemed it so. Of course biologically, we are living much longer than we did 100 years ago, and definitely a lot longer than 500 years ago, so the need to jump right into having children to keep the species alive is no longer there, but biologically I thought we were, as a species, designed to have children in the teenage years?
Because teenagers are still immature idiots, nowhere near ready to handle the responsibility of raising a child. There's something to be said for living some of your life, having some real world experiences before the shackles of Parenthood are upon you.
Huh, I wonder how we got here as a species then? Most of our human time on this earth had our species having children while being teens. That seems to disprove the lack of ability to raise children.
Frankly, I would say today's society of not holding people personally responsible for their actions has lead to bigger problems of why people don't raise their children responsibly.
That's my point. In modern society, teenagers have reached nowhere near the level of maturity of 100 or 500 years ago, ergo they have no business making babies. In the long ago, a teenager had been held to modern adult level responsibilities in order to survive. Having a kid was part of that. Now teenagers are soft and whiny, not great qualities for a potential parent.
But who's fault is this? It's not the teenager's fault they aren't being held accountable. It's their parents fault. It's the change in society.
Well... parents, schools, employers, etc have all contributed to the collective coddling of these newer generations.

How about destroying one's chances of furthering education as a start. Insufficient income would be next....
What about teen pregnancy prevents further education? Insufficient income? Well, I guess all those kinds in China should just be dead then, eh? or you pick whatever third world country you like.
Lack of education does not lead to death. you do realize that China as one of the lowest teen birth rates, right?
Everything about pregnancy, teen or otherwise, leads to less educational and career options. Kids take time and resources that would otherwise be available for education and career.
Did you see that my China comment was preceeded by "insufficient income" that is where I was going, not the education thing. I am fully aware that lack of education does not lead to death, again, how would we be here as a species if that was true.
Lack of education is linked to early death in modern humans - check out some of the studies that have been done on the topic.
"I am fully aware that lack of education does not lead to death, again, how would we be here as a species if that was true."
Evolution in action - the fittest survive and procreate. Same as it's always been.
Just check out the Failarmy thread. That's natural selection right there.
Only because we have video now. I bet it was awful in the 1400s.

An impressive stunt back then would have been eating anything without getting an intestinal parasite.

I wish I could watch a hockey game between literal penguins and literal senators. Potential comedy level 10.

The thought of that made me open my wallet involuntarily.

Switching to a new internet connection at the office. That was easy. Getting the Edge Router to Azure VPN back up was challenging. Quick tip that I forgot from last time: Don't use the GUI for a site to site VPN with Azure. GUI fails....CLI wins.

More than 99% of the time lol.

Trying to get my morning stuff knocked out so I can go home and fix my leaking toilet. The joys of home ownership have found me.

Solution ended up being restarting the box that was running IIS. As it couldn't establish a TCP connection to our SQL server. Problem is trying to figure out how to prevent this in the future -- if it can be prevented. Devs and I are very much wading in the dark

My old roommate had just purchased the house we moved into and I had a leek (the vegetable) I had put on top of the toilet. I said "Sean, there's a leak in the bathroom" and he's like "god damn it. already?" goes downstairs and is looking for water, doesn't see the leek on the top of the toilet. "Where is it? I don't see it." I pointed to the leek. He died inside right in front of me and said "You asshole".
I am not a good roommate in that way.

I have an 2008 R2 RDS server that is constantly stupid. I "fixed" the issues it was having by creating a task to reboot it every morning at 4am.
Weird problems resolved enough for me, because the server will be decommissioned in August.
