    Having no kids is also great if u want to fuck over the billionaire class. They can’t exploit people if there simply aren’t people left to exploit lol.

      It’s a strange anti-human attitude. We should just go extinct as a species to own the bourgeoisie. I mean, the bourgeoisie needs workers like us, so by that logic, why not just all kill ourselves now to own the bourgeoisie, who will then have no workers left? It’s just such a freaking weird mindset I don’t get how there are 10 people who agree with you.

        I think it makes for a nice hot take but it need some nuance.

        Personally, I am not against kids at all but I am against kids within this system. It seems like for many when they think “Yay kids!” That is as far as the thinking goes, unaware that 20 years later those kids will be welcomed into the daily grind as just another meat cog for the machine. Again this is personally, others don’t have this concern and I am sure many can easily justify it.

        The “no kids FU billionaires” is that same “yay kids” attitude flipped. It is an extreme end on a valid issue.

        The reason why billionaires are starting to get very interested in the demographic and population issues is because they know that it will spell trouble for their power structure, it is the same reason why they are cuddling up to any authoritarian leaning government as a means to try and cling to power. So a knee jerk reaction is to feed into their fear, it can be fun, but short sighted.

    My SIL was on an IUD, like 17 years ago or so. I remember because my nephew is getting his drivers license soon.

    I paid £400 for the snip but save so much not paying a fortune raising children.

    Best investment I have ever made.

      I have wondered if “breeding kink” is really a kink in the way we usually use the term or it is just our animal instincts compelling us to reproduce which some people supress better than others.

      Ha, now that is a fun predicament.

      I have a friend that had a daughter a few years back, he regretted it from day 1 as he basically lost his old life and wasn’t a fan of his new one. He has hated it at worst, tolerated it at best for the last few years. And yet, he has said to me “I think I am going insane, I hate ever moment of this… so why do I want another kid?!”

      A lot of close friends with kids all say the same thing, they love their kids and they take great care of them, but if they knew then what they know now and could go back in time, they would make sure it would never happen.

      One couple had their third about 2 years back and made sure that they would not have a forth because they were already financial strained. About 6 months after their third was born we were out and the mother turn to the father and says “I really want a forth now!” a brief pause then “And that is why past me was smart because past me stopped me from doing that.”

      Biology is gonna do its thing.

      Me and my exes first wife had 3 kids with him, so I feel like we’re 3 for 3, just replacement population. No growth.

      Side note, I’m fascinated by your username. Are you a dragon with a sour disposition? Or more like a Sour Patch Dragon? Or a dragon who likes to eat sour patch kids? All three?

        Just my name.

        From my bio:

        I’m Sour of the Noodle Council®. I’m here to just dragon it up and be a dragon, and to observe your interactions with my dragoniness to report my findings back to the Noodle Council®

        It’s just a character.

            I was originally gonna go with the username SourGrapes, but I decided to use a generic green dragon picture as my pfp and changed it to SourDragon. The character grew from there.

            I appreciate the question. Have a nice day ☺️

      Did you ever feel the urge to have a second one around the time your first became 2 ? According to my colleagues it’s super common
