  • I have a single child and I regret bringing him into this hell hole planet. I strongly believe that we are on the verge of ecological ruin. The oceans are overfished and becoming dangerously acidic. Drinkable water is being depleted. Soil nutrients are declining. Fascism is rising rapidly. We’re on the wrong side of the Hubbert curve, so everything is going to get progressively more expensive. Food production will drop as we lose the inputs for the Haber Bosch process. The decline will not be linear and some of the tipping points are already in our rear view mirror.

    The cost of housing is just one of many reasons why people might not want children, although normalcy bias hides the truth from many.

    Except that vaccines partially work because of herd immunity. My kid is and was vaccinated against whooping cough, but enough fucktards here in Texas refuse vaccines that it is spreading and he caught it despite being vaccinated. He was ultimately fine because he was 14 with a good immune system, but pertussis can be fatal for some patients, especially those too young to get vaccinated.

    You don’t sound like your smart enough to understand this explanation, but at least I tried.



  • ICE guarding polling places. Fascists: I voted in 2026, if you didn’t, that’s on you.

    A friend of mine’s Trump loving but half Mexican uncle (U.S. citizen born and raised) spent six weeks in ICE detention before ICE figured out he was a citizen. Dumb shit still loves trump. Including this annecote just so people understand that citizenship is irrelevant to whether ICE will detain you without habeas corpus.

    Look Mexican and try to vote? Detention for you. I imagine the racist young Republicans have plenty of employment opportunities with ICE. You know normal people aren’t applying.
