- Aaargh20318 5y agoYou know having kids is optional, right ? There is no requirement to follow the Standard Life Plan™
- eric__cartman 5y agoThere are events that drastically change people's lives. Do you think every homeless (or close to becoming) family chose to me in that position and had the ability to plan long term? Maybe they were better off when they had their kids and for some variety of reasons reasons some time later ended up below the poverty line.
- Aaargh20318 5y agoYou miss the point. I was responding to someone who was assuming everyone would choose to procreate: ‘when you …’ instead of ‘if you …’ I’m just pointing out that this is not a position that everyone would automatically find themselves in.
- leaveyou 5y ago‘when you …’ instead of ‘if you …’ Good point. Thx. My english is kind of negligent.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoIt is, but this observation generalizes. It's easy to talk brave and be picky if you have nobody that depends on you.
- lr4444lr 5y agoIndividually it's optional, societally it's not. Point being, much as I'm happy the OP has an out, this is not a realistic nuclear option for most people to impose suffering on other dependents.
- leaveyou 5y agoI know it's optional, staying in the gene pool is optional. But in the long term, there looks like there will always be someone there to take these jobs. The ones resisting too succesfuly are leaving the gene pool and make room for the ones who really have no choice in the end.
- wayoutthere 5y agoHaving kids in this world, knowing what’s coming, is to set yourself up for a lifetime of fear. Basically every friend I have with kids is terrified of what the US (and the world) will become in 10 years.
- Aeolun 5y agoHuh? I’m terrified of what the world will end up like if I don’t have kids.
- Aaargh20318 5y agoWe have close to 8 billion people on this planet. About twice as many as 50 years ago, 4 times as many as 100 years ago, and 8 times the number we had 200 years ago. We're not running out of humans any time soon. In fact, humanity is a plague.

- wayoutthere 5y agoIt’s specifically that things are likely going to fall to shit before the kids have a chance to become adults. And that nothing those kids will be able to do as adults will have any effect on the domino effects of climate change that will make WW2 look like a leisurely stroll through Europe. If y’all know any Gen Z people, the generational hallmark is nihilism. Their humor is dark. There are good reasons for this.
- Aeolun 5y agoI never see hobos with kids. Does that mean they’re always taken care of before they actually end up on the street? Or does it just mean instant confiscation by CPS?
- shortlived 5y agoYou’ve seen hobos in real life?
