so glad we replaced the conversation about having kids as a necessary cost of keeping a good fuck-buddy handy with a conversation about weeding out unsuitable stock

Don't have kids. If you've had kids, raise them not to have kids. Also, sterilize your pets. (Don't sterilize your kids.)

whether you have kids or don't have kids. my advice is to find ways to maximize your outlets for giving and receiving unselfish love. you'll still suffer, like all of us must, but at least your suffering will have meaning.

Don't have kids myself, only have a godchild, and I've never experienced such love
I worry though about the future world she is going to experience

Seems kinda selfish to have a kid just so your suffering will have meaning

love is real but i think people make a tragic mistake when they believe it can be selfless. not having children now seems like a very loving thing to do. not just 'not having children' but the way of life that it implicates.

can we get separate vasectomies or do we all need to share aimless' vasectomy?

I heard South Dakota is considering legislation to make all men getting vasectomies watch films about fetal development, talking about their perfect little fingers and toes at sixteen weeks. nope. just kidding. Old white men don't give a shit if men get snipped. They only want to dictate what women do with their bodies.
― A is for (Aimless), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 04:34 (five years ago) link
'the world is terrible don't have children that could work to make it better' is a level of defeatism i can't get with rn

yeah but the kids im not having wint have to fuckin deal with them

imo the argument about defeatism can be turned on head

thats not a serious argument but then there are no serious arguments
I heard South Dakota is considering legislation to make all men getting vasectomies watch films about fetal development, talking about their perfect little fingers and toes at sixteen weeks.
acc to the Torah vasectomies is much more forbidden than abortion tmyk there's a specific verse in the OT (Deuteronomy 23:1) about the former and nothing about the latter

I don't have kids and will most likely never procreate but it seems like adoption could be a noble undertaking if I ever become a fully-fledged adult.
Also I would never render a moral judgment against others for having kids. I just worry about those others and their kids and say the secular version of prayers for their continued well-being.
― Werther Down the Spiral (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 9 October 2018 14:36 (five years ago) link
I'm fine with people disliking kids and fine with people taking pains to avoid the horrors of reproduction but kindly fuck off telling other people what to do
one slippery slope away from forced sterilization of undesirables
