  • Thanks for this response, I've actually gone and bookmarked your instance for a later look. I didn't really find an instance like that on the lemmy server list for whatever reason, so this is nice, appreciate it.

  • what was the point of yours?

  • Not sure if it's a question. I was looking into PT, but there aren't hardly any instances that are 1. open and 2. have much activity. Also, it seemed like you only got the content on the instance, it wasn't easy at all to find non-local content.

    (Also, most of it was playthroughs)

  • Ha... He was the Lib Dem poster boy for a good decade. And they're something akin to pro-business libertarians. I wonder what Lib Dem Dep PM Clegg would have said to this!

  • you can go into the app and literally see your request history

  • HomerOS here we come

  • US Republicans be like "ANTI-BUSINESS! Enjoying communism?"

  • I'm not even talking about good parents vs bad parents. I'm talking about the reasons people have kids. What is the positive reason to have children? I can't think of one that isn't a bad prediction, like wanting to bring a good person into the world. It's not like raising children is a fun fair either. So it's rewarding? Well first of all that's selfish, second of all that's something that people apply to literally every difficult situation they manage to get through.

    So what's the utilitarian reason for having kids? They're all either selfish or prideful. Even if you're a good parent.

    Everyone is like "no you're wrong" but I'm not seeing any actual counter arguments or examples of reasons to have kids that aren't ultimately self-interested and/or bad speculation.

  • Well

    Where is Congo?

    Is it in the north?

    I rest my case /s

  • Wish someone had done this for Reader

  • There ought to be a law...

  • If you think most people who have kids have that expectation, you're lucky.

    What if your kid ends up not growing into anything? Becoming a neckbeard on fortnite and minecraft all day?

    What if your kid has three kids before she's 21 and keeps ending up with deadbeat guys and living in seedy apartments and living off SNAP?

    I want them to do whatever they find fulfilling

    And if they dont?

  • Think of it more like someone complaining that they lost money on crypto trading.

    It's very Billy Crystal SNL "oh I hate when that happens"

  • Sadly, there isn't a law against it.

    Edit: But I'm sure it's one of the very important things that the Democratic Party is totally gonna do someday like they always do whenever they have a majority in congress and/or presidency. Just you wait

  • I'm not about to @ people for having kids, but I have to say that in my experience, the whole idea is nothing but a conceit. People want kids for bad reasons. There's really no sensible reason to have a child in the human world. Fine, go have kids, but don't come back years later upset your kid is rebelling or not following your beliefs or doing bad things or not following in your footsteps or listening to your advice or whatever the fuck. You basically played a slot machine with no jackpot.

  • No!!!!! you can't just reduce the number of peasants fighting for increasingly artificially reduced resources

  • god tier politics challenge: ask a blue dem to name the last time the Ds did something the opposite to what the Rs have done, and was actually good for the average American

    (Not proposed, mind you, but did)

  • I mean this is literally a strawman post so

  • You mean the two party system propaganda?
