Per Amazon: What do my purchases say about me?


Great question, David! Based on your purchase history, here's a fun snapshot of what your shopping says about you:
Tinkerer & Builder: You don't just buy things — you build systems. From custom PCs to home networks to security camera setups, you're always optimizing and expanding.
Nature Lover at Home: You maintain aquariums, a terrarium/reptile habitat, and even have tadpoles. You clearly enjoy bringing a little piece of nature indoors.
Security-Minded: You've systematically built out a comprehensive home security system with HIKVISION cameras and PoE infrastructure — you like knowing what's going on around your property.
Self-Sufficient Homeowner: HVAC work, home repairs, gardening, pool & spa maintenance — you handle a lot yourself rather than calling someone else.
Pet Parent: You care well for your cats and dog (and aquatic critters!), consistently choosing quality brands like Blue Buffalo and Temptations.
Smart Home Enthusiast: You've thoughtfully built out a connected home ecosystem with YoLink devices, streaming services, and home automation gear.
Health-Conscious Snacker: Protein cookies, zero-sugar Gatorade, WonderSlim products — you're mindful about what you eat.
In short: you're a hands-on, tech-savvy, nature-loving homebody who likes being in control of your environment — from your network to your garden to your fish tank!

Why aren't people are not having enough babies?

 It should be noted that when they say "people are not having enough babies," they generally mean other groups are outbreeding my group. It is actually a VERY racist thing to say. Those are never the ones promoting support for others' kids, either. Mainly because they are in the "elite" class, but also because they really do not want to be outbred. Look at Elon's breeding program for example.


As to why people are having fewer babies, the Earth is already at 120% of sustainable capacity. So it is perfectly natural for population growth to be slowing. This has been expected for decades. Coupled with the trend toward crowding into cities, fewer deaths among kids, and senior support systems, people are seeing less need for spare children to care for them in old age. So fewer babies. People seem to assume we'll keep finding more and more ways to increase crop and livestock yields, which accounts for the lag in leveling off, but people are starting to see those gains level off as well as limits are reached, and climate change, which is also adding to the cost of having a family. Then the longer you put off having children till you can afford them, the desire tends to wane as the personal and financial costs increase. Not to mention your optimism for the lives those children will have.
