RaceBannon posted:That's really lame and awful Why is that? Fewer humans means we have a chance to save the planet from killing the oceans, pollution and pain + suffering caused from lack of resources. Having kids is objectively bad for the world at this point, on an individual level. It's just something that people need to accept. That's one of the weirder parts of birth- we think of it as selfish to NOT have kids... which is both a holdover from history where that was totally true, and also a defense mechanism that shields people from having to consider the practical repercussions of having children. I have no issue with people's choices- I'm happily married for nearly a decade at this point, have a very fulfilling and happy life with no children, and I won't have to pay any real price for overpopulation - it's your kids that will have to pay that price, actually. All I ask is that you're realistic about the effect you're having on the world, because it's important that we understand the consequences of our actions. It's like littering I suppose. Do you, as a single person, ruin the world by littering? Nope. It's basically inconsequential. But combine all litter, and the world is choking on its trash and the ocean is slowly dying. (sorry to compare children to littering, I know that's a mean comparison, please take the analogy to heart instead of the literal comparison).

My hypothetical kids live as ghosts in the alternate universe where I was embraced by a woman instead of depression and booze when I still thought having kids was a thing I wanted to do. Not bitter about it or anything, it really turned out fine.

I have an 11 year old. He lives with me in the summer, and the other 3/4ths of the year halfway across the country with his mom and stepdad, leaving me to feel like a bachelor again. He's a proto-goon, caring more about video games than actual human interaction. Because of this, he and I actually bond quite a bit, and I would sometimes go so far as to think of him as my best friend. He's what I'm most proud of in life, and besides, in spite of all the depressing ways I'm a lifelong screwup and failure, isn't the finish line for being alive passing on your genetic material to the next generation? In a screwy way, I win.

In a hundred years we'll all be 5 percent Gengis Khan and 25 percent Duggar so anyone else breeding right now is giving human biodiversity a big leg up. Thanks for keeping those goon genes chugging along Choco1980

And the implication that my "brain is broke" has no effect on me because my life is really good and I'm not insecure about my choices at all, but keep saying it if it makes you feel better I guess.

The problem is not the amount of people, it's the broken capitalist economic system and wealth inequality. Modern famines or health care shortages are never about there not being enough, it's about how the resources are distributed. That's why socialism is the only ethical ideology, and if you have kids you definitely should subscribe to the newsletter.

Vato posted:I hope your girlfriend comes to her senses and realizes she's not equipped to take care of herself let alone a new life. It's unfair to everyone. Also, she sounds crazy, and why didn't you take your own advice? Mistakes happen, but for real... She is crazy, I was under the assumption that she was still taking birth control, lesson learned I guess. I'm living in a hotel while searching for rooms for rent right now, yay. I still hope she wakes up and does the right thing too but I can't say the prognosis is good.

i stand tall coz i know i'm a wiener knock me down, i'll just get up again you met your match, yeah i'm no beginner Penis man, Penis man! gotta smash em all some people actually like having kids, but I'm of the Jim Jeffries school of child rearing "I love my child in the same way I love cigarettes. I like to hold him for five minutes every hour, and the rest of the time I spend thinking about how he's loving killing me."

My 6 year old is pretty good, on weekends or whatever she'll get up, turn on her computer and eat cereal and play Stardew Valley or whatever. This WOULD allow us to sleep in if the 6 month old wasn't teething and gnawing on every available surface. She cried on/off for like ~90 minutes last night, but after making sure she was dry/fed we waited her out and she finally slept the rest of the night. My kids generally sleep and eat well, so when this spurt of constant red-cheek screaming with her hands/arm/crib edge in her mouth passes I will be glad.

It's like a drop of oil in the sea after the Exxon Valdez spill. Not having kids is fine but it's a bigly lol to say you're in any way helping the world by not having them. Instead you just live your life destroying the world without making kids. You sound like the kind of person who goes around telling people they need to be vegan because they're ruining the Earth.
