    I'm trying to get pregnant, but it's kinda hard when you're a guy. I won't stop trying, tho. 🫡

      14 hours leaves you barely 2 hours of personal time in a day. That's barely enough to just eat and maybe relax but then if you have 3 kids even that time is gone taking care of them. How and why would anyone put themselves through this, like after the first or second kid wouldn't your own limits become apparent

        Yeah didn't think about that but that's probably another 2 hours of energy spent on driving, because everything is spread out and there's no good public transportation options outside of specific areas

                I want biological kids, and I'm right about the point in my life where it would make the most sense to have them. But whenever family asks about it, I tell them I'm not raising children in this kind of administration. They try to suggest that it's not that bad and I stand firm that they're not seeing grandbabies until the government stops being so fashy.

                Actually, millennials could probably hold our hypothetical babies hostage, see what's more important to them.

                        A friend of mine has three kids and works 70 hours a week. He is not able to make enough to support his family, and social services have been cut so much that his only option is to take out a personal loan, which will only make his problem worse.

                        In the USA? If yes, the US is a sick country in regard to income distribution, labor laws, healthcare and public services. However, if your friend voted MAGA, zero sympathy and he/she can carry on.

                          Not disagreeing with your point, but women can have children until menopause. It gets riskier and harder but not as much as most people commonly believe. "Biological clock" is a largely made up concept.

                            Also, thanks for mentioning DINK - Double Income No Kids .... never heard of that before and now I learned something new.

                              Want higher birthrates? Just convince people that tomorrow will be better than today.

                              That's how you see a spike in birth rates.

                              To maintain a steady birthrate, just convince potential parents that the world will not be any worse for their children than it is today.

                              See, easy.

                              They're taking the opposite approach.

                              In the past families had a bunch of kids because they needed extra laborers to stay afloat, plus childhood mortality rates were so dire they needed spares to cover for the ones who wouldn't make it.

                              We're already seeing pushes towards removing child labor laws, and RFK Jr is well on his way to ensuring death from easily preventable diseases makes a comeback.

                                No you don't understand. We're the most prosperous we've ever been at any point in time. There was literally no other time better than this. Life is wonderful in every way

                                I'm right there with you. They're basically saying "things could be worse, so there's no point in wanting them better." It's a nonsensical thought-terminating cliché.

                                  Given how many kids are in some combination of foster systems, detention centers, corrections programs, or concentration camps, maybe millennials need to start finding the actual babies and liberating them.

                                    It's so bizarre to see liberal politician after liberal politician promise economic reforms common to the rest of the industrial world, then fail to deliver over and over again.

                                    And then someone sees a ghoul like Hilary Clinton or Joe Biden running at the top of the ticket, or an American Psycho like Newsom or Adams or Cuomo trying to hijack any semblance of progressive politics for their own vainglory. And they say "Nope, not supporting that garbage".

                                    Then everything that comes after is on their heads, somehow.

                                    Not on the heads of the trillionaire plutocrats setting economic policy. Or military leadership goading us into the next war. Or evangelical hucksters selling snake oil to desperate people.

                                    Nope. Always the fault of Joe Dirt when Obama can't win his third term.

                                      I don't think children should suffer regardless of who their parents voted for, I find your callousness as bad as bad as those that voted for Trump.

                                        Born in 84, I've noticed something of a trend in my area. Late gen X and late millennials are having children, most are having two or three, but a lot of people like me born in the mid 80's aren't. While this is by no means universal, there does seem to be more people within five years of my age going without kids.

                                          I would kill for a family. I'll die alone, I've accepted that. I understand that im unconventional and weird, I just wish I could meet someone that reflected that. But it's just not in the cards for a man like myself. So ill die surrounded by my animals and hopefully they'll consume my flesh so I can become Jesus 2.0 but with animals
