    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

      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

      Some people find themselves in places where they lack the choice to limit themselves to two children when an accident happens. Not everyone has the resources to travel to a place where they would be able to make a choice.

        Women have a biological clock on them, makes no sense waiting for different admin.

        I directly know multiple people who had to get what were effectively late term abortions due to pregnancy complications that would've put their lives at risk otherwise. We don't live in the US, so they were fortunate to be able to get the medical care they needed, but it underscores the scariness of the situation in the US; these risks mean that becoming pregnant in the wrong place could literally be a life or death matter. If treatment is received, even people who experience severe complications may be able to have a successful pregnancy in future. Not having access to these things risks breaking the biological clock anyway, so waiting is not unreasonable.

          What, are you using the word places as a metaphor or literally, cause I've never heard of a location where you have to have more kids than you can afford, other than maybe villages where kids are seen as free labor

            Currently, in the US there are States were you can get an abortion and States were you cant. So, if you have an unplanned pregnancy you are kind of fucked.

                why would I want to bring somebody into this world. they'd only have to fight for basic things like "let's be nice to each other" and "maybe we should pool our money to spend it on big things that benefit us all"

                fuck that. I'll live my little servile life as a cog in the machine as best I can, and then I'll die. and the dumb fucks who won't stop breeding while they try to make things worse for their children will repopulate the earth

                        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.

                            Pretty sure when people use that term they're not thinking "I can usually have a baby at 55".

                                          The math has changed.

                                          100 years ago, you'd get kids so you can afford eggs.
