I very much enjoy the lifestyle that comes with it. It’s less stress overall. And it’s not exactly a fun place (current state of the world) for me to want to bring a mini me into.
You can’t have the lifestyle media push as success and at the same have kids, it’s not compatible to the 99% of people.
Friend of mine wanted kids. Can’t afford it. Both her and her partner work full time, though money was too tight for them to feel comfortable. It’s heartbreaking, really.
“Why aren’t the poors having more workers??” - the same people continually reducing the status and security of the working class
If given the option or the opportunity … the wealthy wouldn’t mind the reintroduction of slavery and outright ownership of people
“choosing”.
Articles like this after not for you and me. These are written for investors.
Too expensive and we like sleep and travel and time for our hobbies.
Plus no vaginas/anus’s being ripped open and no shitting in front of a bunch of strangers.
As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point.
Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest
the fastest reproduced in greater numbers than the rest,
a process which had once favoured the noblest traits of man,
now began to favour different traits.
thank you
It’s you! Oh man, I really love your show.

That is a misunderstanding of natural selection. Natural selection means the most efficient ways to live in your ecological niche have been selected for.
Sloths are not counter to natural selection. They’re not fast or smart or strong. What they are is well-adapted to live in their environment.
It’s from the movie Idiocracy. Which is more of a documentary at this point.
Which is more of a documentary at this point.
I wish. The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and when they found someone smarter than themselves, the ones in power immediately stepped down to let him tackle their most pressing issues.
The idiots IRL think they’re geniuses, and when they find someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear-campaign and/or incite violence against that person.
Where we’re headed is MUCH darker than the future Idiocracy portrays.
just keep in mind the big catastrophe still didn’t happen, so people are happy in their delusions.
articles like this are so weird as an aromantic person. like that’s SO beyond off the table already
same as a romantic but infertile and autistic person
Why the fuck would I want to subject my own children to the inevitability of human suffering. I’m not going to make the same mistake my parents made.
If the world collapses because there are no more children, I’ll consider it my greatest accomplishment before ending it all on my own terms.
It won’t. Humans in general breed like crazy. It will collapse because of climate disasters.
If the world collapses because there are no more children, I’ll consider it my greatest accomplishment before ending it all on my own terms.
Since this is all just a fantasy, and will never happen, you could just imagine it happened before ending it on your own terms, whenever that may be.
Same end result.
If I had to redo my life, that’s what I’d do.
Don’t mind me. I’m the weirdo that legit loves being a parent.
I’m happy for you! We all take different paths in life and it’s great you enjoy yours.
Shocked you haven’t been downvoted a ton. Lemmy really hates anyone who wants to have children.
I downvote broad generalizations
I’ll try not to generalize broads then
I think I would love being a parent too but I can’t come up with a single non-selfish reason I would reproduce in this day and age
Me too, kids made my life so much better, but oof I hate when people push their lifestyle on others, child free and natalist proselytizers can both fuck off. We aren’t going to run out of people, or get too many, you can see it adjusting even now. It seems so normal for people in a crowded world to want fewer kids, and slow birth rate is so much nicer than war or plague as a way to control population.
To quote System of A Down, “we don’t need to multiply”
I already have two kids. Is it too late to adopt this lifestyle?
I think I once heard something about post-natal abortions.
Kids? In this economy?
Dinkleberg😠
