to form babby, or not to form babby

like drinking and driving it’s insanely risky but it could end up fun and useful, and fuck the keys are right fucking there. it’s a thing we can do. i’m good at at this, it’ll probly be fine.

NB DONT YOU FUCKING DARE DRINK AND DRIVE PPL.

my point is only that the possibility probability is crazily available.

I am not sure what's going on ao i killed a baby just to be safe

i'm going to form babby just to have something to masturbate in front of

form babby if you have a strong desire to do so and feel you can give babby a decent shot at a fulfilling life
do not form babby if the above does not apply

thraed delivers

stork iirc

obstetrician, let's get real here

How has no one started a drone company that delivers abortion drugs called The Stork?

wow, the carrying capacity of a drone is a lot more than I thought.

eStork drone adoption agency ftw

Use offer code ILXOR for 20% off your first month

Use offer code SILBY for 100% off your first babby

wow harsh

love to spread

Forming a babby and raising it to adulthood is a massive undertaking and I humbly submit that you will learn a lot about yourself and human nature, however that is also the case with any similar scale investment of time and energy so the way the question is framed shouldn’t be forming babby vs not but rather vs whatever else you could do with the massive amount of time and energy you would save. You could go for a PhD or live in a foreign country for a few years or lots of things that would pay dividends in new experiences. Admittedly this overlooks the main reason to reproduce which is to have a child to love and cherish assuming all goes well.

There’s still nobody arguing positively that it’s in a child’s best interest to be born regardless of impact on its parents.

glad you consider your children equivalent to macaroni collage of boats

silby, was this meant to be a piss-take of the quality of specific art I've previously created, or a general assumption that anything I had created would be inherently without value?

if i'm at a party with a friend and there's a good a onion dip, i say 'friend, you have to try this onion dip'. if my friend doesn't like the onion dip, i say 'fuck you, friend, i know a good onion dip'. the earth is the party. existence is the onion dip. my kids have got to try this onion dip. they don't enjoy it? maybe some literal onion dip will help.

that can't possibly be argued convincingly so if that's the condition you need satisfied, you "win" I guess. xxp

consider having kids so that they might win like that one day

Babies are great for use as emergency footballs

There’s still nobody arguing positively that it’s in a child’s best interest to be born regardless of impact on its parents.

this is because the question is stupid and based on a faulty premise - prior to being born the child does not exist, ergo they do not have any "best interest"

I don't create anything in case it makes anyone feel worse than if I hadn't

it seems ridiculous bordering on monstrous to me to treat procreation as comparable to any other creative act, such as you might do for your own amusement. Hence the macaroni collage comparison.

also i have conclusively proven itt that it is in the interest of the universe for babbies to be formed, with reference to green machine elves

i get the dread of existence. i get it. the probability for horrible things happening in a person’s life is pretty near 100% regardless of how many other moments of joy or satisfaction or bursts of insight you have too. so if you, say, asked an AI if on balance, life as a human being was worth the risk of heartbreak and abuse and addiction and poverty and painful death or just insufferable boredom and loneliness and all the other horrors that potentially await even the most advantaged kid, it might say “an interesting game, doctor falken. it appears the only winning move is not to play”. i mean, i can totally understand that point of view. but that’s life. that’s the risk of life. most people accept the risk. given the alternative. parents aren’t culpable for the inherent riskiness of embodied life as a human being on planet Earth.

procreation is the *original* creative act, it is the ur-text for all other creative acts

xps

So now we've gotten to the point where ILXers are being demonized for having babies for the Rong reasons

They are though, that's what I'm saying xps

culpable

that's my point

free will doesn't exist, ergo there is no culpability

Maybe we should find a way to talk to fetuses

shakey I did not invoke fucking free will, jesus

"do u want 2 be born? Yes/no"

"Oh btw shakey mo would be yr daddy"

asserting something many times isn’t quite enough to make it true afaik

I mean whose fault is it I exist?

Maybe we should find a way to talk to fetuses

Xxpost Idk, Lisa *did* need braces
