glimse, in Ahhh the future.

This somehow feels both sad and pro-natalist. Like it’s a lonely guy who wishes he had a family because having a family is nice?

For me it’s something like playing sims instead playing with real people lives. This immersive simulation should be enough. Just like killing people in games is sufficient experience and we don’t call it promurder.

glimse,

Fair enough. Just seems to me like it’s implying he wants a child but can’t. Feels a bit too Surrogates (2009) for me

For the record, I don’t have or want kids

Pretzilla, in 'I felt like a freak because I didn't want children'

Da fak with the downvotes? It’s a good article.

givesomefucks, in 'I felt like a freak because I didn't want children'

That article makes no sense…

There’s more than ever but she thinks the only way adult women meet each other is from kid activities like school?

Sounds like her problem is she doesn’t have hobbies and all her friends have kids.

Ephera,

It’s a personal experience report. Why would it need to make sense? She could have ten hobbies and still feel excluded in certain social contexts, because e.g. most of her colleagues are parents and therefore don’t have much time for hobbies themselves.

givesomefucks,

Exactly.

Her feelings might not be representive of reality, which means the article is pretty pointless.

because e.g. most of her colleagues are parents and therefore don’t have much time for hobbies themselves.

You don’t pick hobbies your coworkers have to try to turn them into friends…

You find hobbies you enjoy to occupy your time and sometimes you met people who share that hobby and they become friends.

It’s the same as dating, if you’re out there doing stuff just to meet someone it’s going to feel like work. Just go out and enjoy yourself, and you’ll probably run across people you get along with.

Master,

She should do what my wife does and go to her friends kids events.

Wogi, in Parents are sacrificing retirement savings to set their Gen Z and millennial kids

“sir we’ve successfully bled every penny from the millennials, they’ll never save a dime. Everything they make will be immediately paid back out. The only way to make more from them is to pay them more.”

“Ok, give them all a raise”

After 20 minutes of roaring laughter, the boss wipes the tears from his eyes

“Ok no seriously just milk gen X and the boomers next.”

Polydextrous, in Parents are sacrificing retirement savings to set their Gen Z and millennial kids

“Life under capitalism has become unlivable and we won’t acknowledge the issue, and instead will blame COVID and market crash.”

zoe,

people works 40 years of their lives, and idk depending on countries, they save a certain percentage for their retirement, say 30%. that equates to 13 years of retirement from their own dime. but most people live beyond 13 years after 60 years of age: people reach 90 and 100 years. so their wage of 40 years should take into account another 40 years of living in retiremement, so people’s wages should be 5/3 what they are earning now, and i probably doubt that people are getting their saved money worth adjusted to inflation, since it should increase in value: and capitalism shouldnt expect people to bring kids if parents arent really enjoying their lives and living on only 2/3 of their salary for 40 years, and probably arent expecting to live much through their retirement, else work is just about grinding human meat and nothing more, and current meat is expected to reproduce fresh meat on their dime to feed the grinder: people need to be paid for bringing kids if their purpose is to feed capitalism else this is no way of living and current employment wages aren’t really sustainable and it would lead society to its demise.

zoe,

on my part i dont plan on having kids and spending on them from my own pocket only to feed them to the grinder. want kids ? pay me accordingly.

Very dystopian depiction but very accurate in my opinion. Thanks. :)

Ignoring all the obvious disgusting parts of this law… What happened to “No taxation without representation”? Can’t vote until you’re 18, but we’ll take your taxes without you having a voice. It’s crap that the same people pushing for bills like this claim to be patriotic.

EatMyDick, in ‘I can’t believe we’re having this conversation’: the states pushing for 14-year-olds to serve alcohol

Oh no, teens will be able to work at grocery stores and restaurants. The humanity!

We need to stop electing old fucks. They don't have to live with the consequences of their actions and they know it.
