Twas a shit derail tbf

Animals are better than kids because you can eat animals.

Your move, kid lovers

You can eat kids

if you eat a baby goat, all bases are covered

Noble Irish heritage of arguing for this

There was a famine on and also we had company

reminds me of dude that ate human brain not too long ago

"Eating brains, that's where I'm a lion"

still amused ∞ kept calling Outis "oustic".

Pronounced "Eustace"

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

everything is bad

i don't have kids

but mind yr own fuckin business

something something something

Don't have kids.

ive had dogs and a kid. kids are better. and i used to love my dogs but i dont give a FUCK about them now.

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

um, that's not what I recommended, silby. read it again.

I'm in a mood don't worry about me

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.

men: get a vasectomy

get a vasectomy

done and dusted. back in 1993.

in genuine admiration

lol

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.

'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

like, pieces of shit aren't stopping having children, cf dtjr

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

imo the argument about defeatism can be turned on head

"oh welp hasnt worked out, replicate quick!"

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.

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

I'd vote for logan's run over children of men

World full of nothing but adults is the true hell.

I like to keep my misanthropy self-focused nowadays.

thats not a serious argument but then there are no serious arguments

it would seem so

There's almost a noble big picture streak in antinatalism but she it's invoked I think it's usually in v bad faith.

98% of ilx is tellin ppl what to do

Tru

nb i do actually think kids are great

not worth the hassle, personally speaking is all

Oh yeah I mean kids are fine people; I just think it’d be sensible if we wrapped up the project, for assorted reasons.

yeah

parents

i love my kids. i also get extremely envious of people without kids.
