  • This Planet's On Fire (Burn In Hell)

  • I considered that and it was part of my early stands: IF i had a kid, I would adopt since there are so many without parents.

    Just like Millenials and Gen Zs, my life is hard enough to pay for financially. I don't know that I could provide something positive for a child. I need to be honest with myself about this shit.

  • I was/am instinctually driven to want them (a feeling I mostly disregard), but given the state of the world and my own financial situation, I can’t say that I want to force any intelligent being, especially one that is my offspring, to suffer through a lifetime of this shit like I have been forced to so far.

    This is interesting to me, as I've never had the biological urge to have kids. I love them and enjoy hanging out with them, joking, playing, etc., but never my own. In any case, I commend you on being resolute.

    I’m currently in a long term relationship, and we’re planning on signing the papers next year, so soon I’ll have someone I can legitimately call my wife. She is very much on the side of “never have kids”. So that’s my decision as well.

    My girlfriend doesn't want them either. She's a good deal younger than me - 31 years old - but she says something similar to me: raising kids in this world would be a tragedy.

    Frankly, I've always felt there are too many humans. I never understood the push for more. Just maintain or reduce the population naturally.

    Good luck staving off that biological imperative. I feel lucky not to have it myself.

  • I'm Gen X, but cusp with Millennial. I said at 15 or 16 I'd never have kids & stuck with it. I'm more resolute than ever & feel like I would have massive guilt if I had caved. I felt the world was too fucked up back in the 90s. I wonder how my younger self would deal with the world today.

    In 2024, two states voted unanimously. Let's compare.

    Jump

  • Yeah. Land doesn't vote. No matter how blue, we still have impoverished. Seattle, where I live, is a fortified bastion of deep blue, but the wealth gap and inequality are rampant here, as is homelessness.

    Moreover, while I am hard left, I'm no Liberal and definitely no Democrat.

    This election's outcome upset me terribly, but I'm not going to blame poor, uneducated people in Oklahoma or make fun of what they don't have because I need a scapegoat.

    I do blame Oklahoma leadership. I do blame the DNC for shoving two milquetoast candidates in our face to choose from. I blame social media and corporate mainstream media programs for misinformation.

    Oh, and Merrick Garland can fuck himself for being a wishy washy bitch and not attempting to punish Trump sooner.

  • I'm 48 and my girlfriend of several years is 31. We don't really think about it. But if I were 31 she would have been 14. It's not a pleasant thought in that context.

  • No. Fucking. Shit.

    In a long line of idiotic missteps and stupid fucking decisions, this was up there with every other contending for first place in an endless line of mistakes.

    I'm done with this "oopsie! We made a mistake" bullshit. The DNC can fuck off. They don't represent me. Liz Cheney and her ghoul of a father even less-so.

    God damn this moronic timeline.
