I love my friends with kids but… a hearty lol at the “people with kids are less selfish” stuff.

I find them to be the opposite. Complete inability to see anything beyond the tip of their nose. Everything in the world has to be viewed through the narrow lens of their parenthood.

Which is fine, and I get it. But don't tell me that's "selflessness".

Eh, don't elevate families. Create a durable modern safety net for everyone and they'll have the freedom to choose what they want to do with their lives. Many/Most of them will choose parenthood.

Affordable housing, socialized healthcare, city planning to encourage 3rd spaces (both public and private), transit, etc, etc. Build a good society where it's easy to meet and fuck, people will meet and fuck.

I put Mindz in charge of naming the bill.

That was all voice to text so if you can make anything decent out of it fine and if you’re picking apart certain wording, you’re missing the gist. I’m not gonna edit it, but babies are good.

And a couple who doesn’t have babies fuck them

Well, a giant “fuck you” right back atcha, buddy.

Totally idiotic concept that anyone’s going to be better off—kids or parents—if people who have no interest in being parents go ahead and have them anyway.

Also idiotic to assume that having and/or raising your own kids is the only way to contribute positively to the next generation.

Exactly. These are the kind of people who don't care if we get annexed and who would send their kid to South America so they could dodge the draft.
