Orbituary

ok…

How long is a string?

I considered that and it was part of my early stands: IF i had a kid, I would adopt since there are so many without parents.

Just like Millenials and Gen Zs, my life is hard enough to pay for financially. I don’t know that I could provide something positive for a child. I need to be honest with myself about this shit.

I was/am instinctually driven to want them (a feeling I mostly disregard), but given the state of the world and my own financial situation, I can’t say that I want to force any intelligent being, especially one that is my offspring, to suffer through a lifetime of this shit like I have been forced to so far.

This is interesting to me, as I’ve never had the biological urge to have kids. I love them and enjoy hanging out with them, joking, playing, etc., but never my own. In any case, I commend you on being resolute.

I’m currently in a long term relationship, and we’re planning on signing the papers next year, so soon I’ll have someone I can legitimately call my wife. She is very much on the side of “never have kids”. So that’s my decision as well.

My girlfriend doesn’t want them either. She’s a good deal younger than me - 31 years old - but she says something similar to me: raising kids in this world would be a tragedy.

Frankly, I’ve always felt there are too many humans. I never understood the push for more. Just maintain or reduce the population naturally.

Good luck staving off that biological imperative. I feel lucky not to have it myself.

I’m Gen X, but cusp with Millennial. I said at 15 or 16 I’d never have kids & stuck with it. I’m more resolute than ever & feel like I would have massive guilt if I had caved. I felt the world was too fucked up back in the 90s. I wonder how my younger self would deal with the world today.

We already are already. (Seattle)

I’m hoping Cascadia finally gets realized. I want to uninvite Idaho, though.

Along with the boatload of other warnings they heeded. Please.

Excuse me, what?

I believe Syncthing has been discontinued unless someone else took up the project.

Why is this even funny? Am I really this fucking out of touch?

“precise enough.”

For context, the largest bomb dropped by the US in Iraq and Afghanistan in a populated area was 500 pounds.

Better non-paywalled. Archive.ph to the rescue.

You want everything just handed to you or what? You’re asking for cheap, best, and easy. At some point you need to decide what your goal is and accept that you’re going to have to compromise.

I’ve considered this too. My suspicion is that they’ll appeal at the 11th hour, giving little time to amend the ballots.

The country was literally established by extreme right-wing zionist ideals. Read the book “The 100 Years War on Palestine.”

Came here here to say this. Thanks for enduring the ostriches.

Reminded me of this.
