A toast to everyone in this thread that decided to not have kids! 🥂
As a side benefit, I also have all the money and free time to spend with furry children instead!
a toast to everyone in this thread that will be burnt to toast because unchecked greed and capitalism.
I want to have kids. But bringing them into a poisoned and dying world where they have to earn the right to exist? That just seems cruel
If we get past the next few decades, I’ll bring them into a world worth living in
Yeah, it’s great to know we’ll die off!
I mean, it’s also great that we’re not leaving behind offspring to have progressively poorer lives until it’s just Event Horizon: Earth.
If we all had this point of view, that’d be the end of us.
The consequences of inaction in the late 20th and early 21st centuries will be the end of us. 😀 To hope otherwise or lament over is just wasting time. Enjoy life before it gets worse!
That’s a rather pessimistic view. Yes, it will be hard as fuck. Yes, unfortunately it will be the end of some us. But I think we as a race will prevail and I don’t think simply giving up right now is an option.
I do agree the human race will prevail, but honestly I just wish we didn’t. like wtf just look around us and all the shit we caused.
Ditto. Not that I’d have the opportunity, but decided I’d only adopt if I desired to raise a child.
That’s a good call! If I ever get the hankering to have kids I’ll just do that. We do that with dogs (rescue), why not humans?
that’s one of the biggest reasons for my decision not to
Exponentially increasing heat is when toddlers amirite
(also you should still adopt kids)
