I'm trying to imagine having so warped an attitude about kids that you're actually surprised and outraged that nobody has left a Facebook comment on a birth announcement saying "how irresponsible, what about your finances"

it's the same desire to be superior while also being mediocre that you make some lifestyle change like sobriety or celibacy and make it a core aspect of your personality, except these people don't realize they're self-owning when they admit they're incapable of one of the most natural human activities and their genes aren't worth passing on

it's perfectly fine to not want children, they are a lot of work and expensive and if that's not what you want from your life then go for it, it's your life. but my childless friends actually enjoy my fun and cute toddler's company because if you actively dislike children at all you are broken

r/childfree makes me embarassed to not want kids because I don't want people thinking I'm judging them for their broodlings or fuckwads or whatever. I love kids and I think they're awesome, I just don't think I'd be a good parent based on a variety of genetic/personality factors. I'll spoil the poo poo out of other people's kids though, don't you worry. Gimme five minutes with a kid and I'm buying him an ice cream and a nintendo.

hey i have a kid and it sucks sometimes. it's also really great sometimes, like the best thing ever. but kids aren't for everyone. if you dont feel like kids fit into your lifestyle, don't have kids, there's nothing wrong with that. it's actually really good to have the confidence to say you don't want to take this huge life step. maybe you're missing out, maybe you aren't. in fact, there's a good symbiotic relationship between people who don't have kids but like kids and parents, when i'm at a party and i bring my kid i'm like yes please play with my kid, get your fun in, you get 15-20 minutes of low key babysitting for kicks and i get that same time to just sort of keep an eye out but also not have to watch my kid for once. a kid can't have enough fun uncles or aunties. dont feel guilty, it's the people who get soured on guilt or anger or stress or whatever re: kids who end up posting creepy rants on r/childfree

I'm probably broken tho, you're right

i have a toddler, i get it, kids can be obnoxious little fuckers sometimes, but if someone is all "a kid made loud noises and RUINED my trip to the ice cream store" something is wrong with them

e: i taught my daughter how to hit me in the face with a pillow tonight

pros: she spontaneously started counting 1-2-3 before she hit me with it, which made me proud

cons: she was way too into the idea of beating me about the head and neck with some object. it's weird because all kids are literally sociopaths because they haven't learned empathy and or social behavior yet

she says he owns the house but it's more likely that it's mortgaged, especially if SO brought a roomie in the house to defer costs. in that case she's helping pay the mortgage, which is functionally the same as paying rent to a landlord except she's helping build her SO's equity. if you're a finance nerd this could be considered exploitative but then again paying $300 a month for a residence is a great loving deal

*She's the big spoon at night, making me feel like I’m not cuddling with a woman at all.

*Several times she's been told she has very masculine features and it bothers her, but she knows it's true and is constantly asking me what I think. I always lie and tell her she looks fine and should accept herself as she is (I’m trying to).

*She gains muscle faster than anyone I know. She makes me look like a dweeb when we go to the gym together.

*When she puts her hair up, her huge jaw juts out & it’s hard to remember how in the world I married this girl.

*When I give her a back massage it’s like I’m massaging a football player.

*When we hang out with her friends it’s quite obvious they are all so pretty and she looks unfeminine compared to them.

She’s not fat, she's probably 15 lbs overweight, but she looks like she could weigh about 100lbs more than she actually does because her arms and face are fat.

*She is constantly calling herself fat and ugly and edits her photos to make herself look more feminine.

If your actual landlord is still paying off their mortgage on your building, are they exploiting you by charging you rent?

not unless you're nailing the landlord and didn't sign a lease. like it's a little weird financially to be contributing money to someone else's net worth in a non-business relationship but then again if you dont like it you can move somewhere else because a token rent payment to your boyfriend/landlord is a hell of a lot better than actually paying rent at market rates

There are a TON of grown rear end adults that go to Disneyland without kids apparently (simply referred to as 'Disney' by affictionados). My friend and his wife are like this, they go all the time though they have kids now. They let us use their time share so my wife and I could go one year as a gift. My wife never went as a kid, so at least she could experience it for the first time.

Going as adults is fine, but it really is more about experiencing with kids. Given the fact that there are kids everywhere, acting in typical kid like ways (running around, yelling/crying, etc) going without kids just feels like going to an overpriced theme park. I feel like there are other theme parks that are more fun as just adults out there.

im not talking about adults going to disney without kids. adults can be children at heart and enjoy disney stuff

i'm talking about adults who actively dislike children and get anxious around children going to disney, which is like a swirling vortex of excited children being loud and their parents tolerating it because it's a special occasion. i can't think of a worse place for childfree types except, like, a maternity ward or something

Some people consider scheduled c-sections to be a "lazy" option for childbirth, because you're not delivering vaginally, I guess?

c-sections are three strikes and you're out (and really shouldn't have any more kids because of the risk of complications) so you'd think anti-natalists approve of them. i bet she just enjoys women suffering through long labor

nihilism, specifically existential nihilism which is what most people are talking about when they just say nihilism, is the idea that life is ultimately pointless. from there if you get all sadbrains and watch anime reruns constantly or shrug your shoulders and go on living the life you want to live without the expectation of reward, higher meaning, or some kind of external satisfaction aside from the pleasure you personally derived in that moment, is up to you. happy nihilists don't go around moping and whining about everything being pointless

this is the same reason why people associate atheists with hating christianity. atheists who don't hate christianity or other organized religions generally don't go around talking about atheism as frequently, they just live their lives

yep. "there's no meaning to life, quit worrying about it and just go live your life the way you want to" and there's no actual expectation that you're supposed to be all sad about this idea versus liberated from the expectation that you have to live a life of hardship to make god happy or whatever. you can do what you want, it's your life and the clock is ticking

I think for a lot of people, nihilism is depressing because they had never considered the fact that they don't matter and never have, their actions don't matter and never have, and their social interactions don't matter and never have. Then they come to the conclusion that all of these things and everything else will amount to nothing at all, ever. This is upsetting to people for some reason.

for some people maybe, because there's still this idea very prevalent in the western world at least that your good behavior and adherence to religious doctrine can be cashed in for fabulous eternal rewards later. this is why some people purposely mix up existential nihilism and moral nihilism, and get real freaked out that "if god won't call you to heaven for good works then what is the point of being good? why not just murder people if hell doesn't exist" because some folks really need some external structure and order for their lives to make sense

but dude in the story was totally just latching on to nihilism as a plausible sounding excuse for why it's ok for him to mope around the house. i mean if that's how you want to spend your short existence then go for it i guess but it's not noble or smart to do so, it's just lazy and sad

normal people, then

not quite - only like half of americans drink at least once a month, about a quarter binge drink by the medical standards, and only like 3-5% are what most people would consider alcoholics. i'm not moralizing here, i'm an alcoholic, but 'normal' is pretty much an occasional drink with dinner, maybe, once a month. it's the minority of us who create the impression that drinking a six pack isn't problem drinking (it is) but most problem drinkers don't ever really turn into full on alkies, and a fair number of alkies remain functional and just end up fat etc.

part of what skews this also is just different age perspectives - getting hammered every friday night when you're 22 isn't nearly as much of a problem as when you're 46, so young adults tend to underestimate problem drinking. especially because you have to be a real sad case to be a late stage alkie in your early twenties

VVV yeah, this is all from a medical perspective too. if you want to drink a bunch thats up to you, anyone screening out pre-alcoholics in their dating pool is probably an unfun nerd, etc.
