My husband and I chose not to have biological children and there are so many reasons for it. It’s not even just one big one - it’s multiple huge ones. Lack of support systems for parents and childcare, finances (we are ok for a couple, but there is no way we could comfortably afford even a single child), healthcare costs alone will break you, the future of this planet is not looking so hot (or rather, VERY hot actually), carbon footprint of another child on the planet is huge, and I refuse to bring in another soul to become a slave for our corporate overlords. And I am not even listing any personal reasons, which there also are - these are just things that are happening in the world overall… and the best the politicians can do is pikachu face that there is no population growth. Because, ya know, 8 BILLION of us is not enough.
You should have kept reading the article. “But Kirkpatrick’s comments, which come as he is about to retire after a 27-year defense and intelligence-focused career, are more intriguing because he also says that “none” of the hundreds of military UFO reports analyzed by his office recently “have been positively attributed to foreign activities.””
Same. No kids. Sleep’s still fucked.
Hey, this is the last hope I have. There’s not a lot of it, but there is a tiny chance that maybe maybe maybe things will get better. Very likely not, but, you know, one could hope.
I am so glad he is gone. I stopped playing any blizzaed games partially because of this shmuck… and partially because the games became trash. Here’s hoping things will turn around now that he is gone.
Eat the rich. You know when people say that, they don’t necessarily mean they like cannibalism.
I guess you must belong to the class of those to be eaten though, so I see why you’d be upset.
landlords have destroyed the housing market. It is no longer realistic for a middle class person to buy their home. So yeah, fuck that landlord.
wanting to be alone is not an anti-social behavior… aggression and wanting to hurt people is… which the op is not expressing. Don’t know where you got this “text book antisocial behavior” definition from.
just follow hashtags you like, that way you’ll see people who post about interesting stuff.
Absolutely fell in love with this piece and dove into the rabbit hole of his work. I think I just found my new favorite artist.
I read it as… list of eminem accounts. Then wondered why he had so many accounts…
¯_(ツ)_/¯ People don’t want to hear that they shouldn’t have kids
Here are some of the things we are doing that to us, don’t feel like sacrifices:
But at the end of the day, you have to remember that you are just one person. Unless corpos decide to make changes, likely nothing we do will truly matter… I do all of these things, because it makes me feel better. Gardening is therapeutic, and you get amazing food out of it. Plus it is a very valuable skill to have, especially given everything happening in the world.
except that the guards conveniently both fell asleep, and the camera malfunctioned all at the same time.
Didnt see anyone suggesting Bastion. Great game and will definitely make you cry.
also humans apart from each other. Our cat chose us (my husband and I) to be her humans, so she’s super affectionate with us. Other humans? She does not give a crap about anyone else. She will never come snuggle with a guest for example, but she will snuggle with me all day.
And having boring politics again! Remember the times when it wasn’t terrifying to look at the news?
