I’d call it the Slop Bucket

Anti-trust is not about seeking perfection, it’s a defense against abuses of power. That’s a good thing unless you like to be abused by the powerful, in which case lick some more boots.

Tell me where I said I’d teach a child suicide should be front of mind. All I mean is they should get to choose if they live - in response to someone pleading that we all stop having children.

I want to have a child. Why should I not, because the world could be in rough shape due to climate catastrophe? I’ll let them make that call and I hope they don’t have to.

OP was begging everyone to stop having kids because they gave up on life - that’s better than recognizing we can choose to stop living at any time?

Accepting the end of the human race is a lot more “what the fuck” than accepting the end of a human life, imo.

Which mentality?

That human life is worth living, but circumstances may not always be, so we reserve the right to choose our own exit from it, or that choosing to live is saying life is better than death?

Nah. If the climate crisis turns into societal collapse, and my future children want to avoid the pain of living through the apocalypse, they can kill themselves when things turn bleak. It’s the same choice we all have. There’s always a way off the ride. Every day any of us live is a day deemed better than the alternative.

Feels like an ad

As long as its hot, bitter and caffeinated I guess I can make do. I’d really, really rather not have to though.

No, jokes. It’s plural because there are many jokes on you.

Anarchism is when disc golf.

I remember telling my high school guidance counsellor I was planning on becoming a programmer. She looked at me, head tilted like a confused dog and asked what excited me about Event Programming (as in, planning and scheduling large in-person events).

That was the first time someone didn’t understand what I did for work, and it was about 5 years before I started doing it.
