You could always go to Ukraine and get your head blown off by a drone, die in an artillery strike (lungs collapse or you get blown into pieces, ripped apart by shrapnel), get gunned down in a firefight, or even knifed to death by a man who looks like Genghis Khan.

Or, you know, quit bitching and do something you want with your life.

People who act like their dumb problems are the same as other people’s real problems are the worst. Gatekeeping is great, it keeps phonies and attention seekers away.

Stop being obtuse, would you rather terminal ballsack cancer or a sprained ankle? Which should a person take more seriously or feel more sympathy for? Problems are problems, but some problems are a lot more serious and are a lot more important than other ones.

w00ms@reddit

yes, because people are born into different conditions means we should not give a shit about people who are suffering because people everywhere are suffering, try to have some basic empathy instead of punching down because the rich and corrupt cant stop starting wars for money and power

yeah, and the people in war could always stop bitching because they could be sex slaves from birth in the middle east. your point?

Exactly. Anon has complete freedom and 0% real danger or scarcity in his life. Some people are just losers. They could live 1000 years in the future and gripe about having access to mind blowing food, hovercars, immersive entertainment and who knows what else.

Also no friends is a personal choice lol. Anon has no one but himself to blame for that one.

alexjordan98@reddit

Holy shitting fuck, are you telling me quitting bitching is the one secret to life? Every problem I have is solved if I simply dont speak and if I constantly farm gratitude for my life by thinking of different people who lived shit lives and died. Genuinely, if you think you are breaking new ground here or being anything other than a stone cold retard, then just go to that war you’re talking about and let it take you away

apscep@reddit

Idk, I am not from the US, but people who moved to the US in the last few years (legally) were telling me, that if you can do something with your hands: like install windows, door locks, install kitchen equipment, can easily do around 500 - 1000 bucks a day. If this is true why are so many people bitching?

oby100@reddit

Life is way better without literal anchors weighing you down. Children especially suck the life out of you and then move out. Well, assuming you did a lot of things right and got lucky.

People that feel like failures for lacking these things are immature children who think raising a family will fill the emptiness they feel every day. And yet, you can feel that way with a family too, only you gotta do a ton of bullshit everyday while feeling like that

[-]

Thanag0r@reddit

Children are literally your payout when you get old, assuming you raised them properly.

It's one of those things that you don't care about untill it's too late to get.

[-]

slagathor907@reddit

Raised correctly, they pay dividends immediately. My day at work blows, I get home, and suddenly it all barely matters because my 3 year old is running with arms wide open to me yelling "Daddyyy!"

Amazing. I feel bad for people without kids.

[-]

Blackout1154@reddit

slagathor907@reddit

No lol, were raising them correctly. Dont let your children do things that make you dislike them. Rule 5

Should people who are alcoholics, addicts, or serious criminals be allowed to have kids? Should pedos? Bc that’s what you’re saying

[-]

A_for_Anonymous@reddit

People in jail for murder, rape or pedo shit shouldn't. And we should strongly discourage people with serious genetic disabilities. It'd be better for everyone if we weeded out these problems.

Meanwhile, successful people that truly excel at something useful in a way that's not bought with money should have massive benefits to have more than 3 (I'd say tax cuts but I do not want taxes at all; you should pay for specific goods and services with a contract to provide them, not get forced to throw away money at a feudal lord to not get jailed).

[-]

ChillbroBaggins10@reddit

I really could give two shits if the government wants me to have kids. I just don’t.

[-]

born_2_be_a_bachelor@reddit

Except it’s not a direct line and we all share 99% of our DNA. If you have a sibling or cousins who have kids the gene pools isn’t missing all that much.

Oh and that shit literally doesn’t matter.

Having kids does of course matter and is admirable, as it’s necessary to ensure the continuation of society, but not the genetic lineage crap.

But you know what’s worse than not having kids? Misparenting a child into a fucked up adult.

But you know what’s worse than not having kids? Misparenting a child into a fucked up adult.

Thank you for writing this. Some people here probably assumed that not having children/legacy is a failure.

While I see their point, they're also probably omitting to say that they have lot of money and time to dedicate. Not everyone has.

[-]

Telamo@reddit

Are you just like a miserable parent who is desperate for other people to share in your regret or something? Why are you acting like there’s something wrong with social outcasts choosing not to have children? It’s not to win a gotcha, it’s to avoid ruining their life as well as the hypothetical kid’s.

[-]

uvT2401@reddit

Even if you make the better choice in your situation, you still shouldn't be in it.

warisgayy@reddit

That probably has less to do with money and more to do with you.

[-]

BigBoodles@reddit

Your point? It's extremely refreshing to see someone who knows they wouldn't be good parents choosing to abstain from having them.

[-]

Methamphetamine1893@reddit

Explain your reasoning

[-]

Shalashaska87B@reddit

Children require money and time. If you can't afford both, you risk that your son won't grow fine.

Please note that I am not saying that you need to give your kid(s) with everything they like, but you can't even scavenge clothes, food, toys and everything else just because the society expects you to have children.

It is true that you can rely on a partner, but that's no excuse for skipping the time with your kid(s). Leaving your kids to a babysitter is not the best idea. As for your parents, that's somewhat personal (and potentially limited by distance)

AITA?

[-]

Thanag0r@reddit

Raising children is easy. You are not doing it alone.

Kids are like your little friends/pets, as long as you not really poor (not like anon or other online losers that are middle class but pretend to be poor) there is literally no way to mess it up.

[-]

Gerrywalk@reddit

Raising children is definitely not easy. It adds a whole new layer of difficulty in your life, especially at the early stages.

But it is extremely rewarding. It makes you feel like your life just started over and you’re living through it again from a different perspective. Mind you, I’m not saying everyone should do it. Some people don’t want to or can’t for various reasons and that’s okay. But if you feel like you do, it’s a wonderful thing.

AngryMustard@reddit

Your primary role is to be a parent. Kids, especially young ones, are not little friends or pets. If you can't understand this fact and you don't take responsibility to prepare your kids for the world your kids will have issues.

[-]

mischling2543@reddit

Yes, being a manchild who will leave no legacy is such a win

[-]

LegitAsBalls@reddit

Kids are a legacy?

[-]

mischling2543@reddit

They're the most legacy that 99% of people will leave. If you're a world leader or great scientist who will go down in the history books then you already have a legacy. But if you're an average person without kids you'll be forgotten incredibly quickly after you die. It'll be like you never even existed. Now idk about you but that is a truly depressing thought for most people.

[-]

Bunlord3000@reddit

And if you have kids you still die

[-]

mischling2543@reddit

Did you read the comment or just skim it

[-]

vxdiamondxv@reddit

Right, name anyone famous and then name their parents. Fun fact nobody gives a fuck. Who are the ancient kings of Mesopotamia? Legacy??? Nobody cares. To have a child in order to create some sort of legacy for yourself is a brain dead take. Please don’t have kids.

[-]

Bunlord3000@reddit

I read the comment, just think the emphasis on the idea of legacy is regarded and narcissistic because you’re dead anyway

[-]

LegitAsBalls@reddit

I mean when you are gone you are gone. I don’t think it makes you a man child not to want kids though. If you wanna put it in a hypothetical vacuum humanity will one day cease to exist so there isn’t a “real” legacy. That’s being more pedantic and I get your point but having a kid for a legacy seems much more selfish/irresponsible then realizing you don’t want a kid.

[-]

mischling2543@reddit

Well legacy is only one reason. I also think that people have a civic duty to procreate because otherwise they're essentially just leeching off those who do have kids.

[-]

Bolt_The_Doggo@reddit

Can you explain how someone that works and pays taxes but doesn't have children is a leech?

[-]

mischling2543@reddit

Well for one thing, old age pensions in pretty much every western country are paid for by the next generation. If you don't contribute to creating that generation then you're just leeching off those who made the sacrifice to do so.

There was this greentext where it said that if you're feeling suicidal you should sell everything and buy a one way ticket to Botswana or someplace and go to this one specific kayak rental store or something and get a job as a dishwasher and hang out there for a couple of months and then climb this mountain near there and decide if you want to jump off it

I don't remember enough of the details to find that greentext again, but it was good
