I had 3 by 23 😁
Still have only 2 kids though
Baby: costs thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars over a minimum of 18 years
Monitor: shows memes and games, costs a few hundred dollars for a good one, one time purchase
Obviously the child is the stupid financial decision
It depends on where you live. Believe it or not, kids still care for their elderly parents in some nations.
Making a life-changing decision - for more than just yourself - on the assumption that they will want anything to do with you in 40 years is, how do I put this… stupid as fuck?
And that assumes they also are able-bodied, of sound mind and judgement, can care for any others financially…
My folks are getting up there in age, and I’m not getting any younger myself. They are religious, I’m not. I’m LGBT, they are bigoted. I can understand the big picture of caring for others through community, they don’t. They are still very capable and mobile, I’m disabled. What side of the fence do you think I’m on?
They could have just used a fucking condom. They should have. They didn’t.
Here in Sweden I’m experiencing this with both older and younger generations. I know no one my age that has a kid, but so many younger generations have at least one. My little sister has two, and most of her friends do too. It’s weird.
that’s wild. i wonder why the younger gen had that shift. how does that difference affect you? do you have kids? where do you feel left out?
The world is already overpopulated so
is it though? pretty sure that’s yet another false narrative disseminated in service of the powers that be, but carried by well meaning liberals
I think so, yes.
A faultering population can be a factor in societal collapse depending on the manpower required to run the society’s infrastructure.
What happens when there’s not enough people to man the power station that runs the car plants that pays the workers to allow them to go buy a cup of coffee? It’s all interconnected.
No it’s overpopulated.
Here is a good video I watched just this morning that may change your perspective
Have you heard of neverending legacy? Its a (mostly unfinished) webgame by orteil42, creator of cookie clicker. Overpopulation is the real problem in the endgame, and its incredibly hard to cull the population without everyone dying of hunger.
Gonna need to push that space exploration budget instead of constantly going to war.
Then again, having more planets would mean a larger desire for power and greed would easily spark a space war.
Either way, humanity isn’t the perfect race.

At 35 I got my third!
…27" curved screen with 144Hz and HDR…
I took on a second, what have I done.
Laughable, I think about MINUTES!
Not sure if he’s thinking about a second monitor or a second smoke.
Why not both? I haven’t seen that taco girl meme in a decade or so.
Two monitors suck, don’t fall for it. Traded out my 24" & 27" setup for a single 32" and loving it
The key is triple monitors so you don’t have a bezel in the middle of your field of view.
bezel in the middle of your field of view
One monitor straight ahead for games, 2nd monitor off to the side for discord or some media.
Or 2nd monitor for the map of the game in the first monitor (game devs!! Pretty please?!).
Im a huge fan of a second monitor in portrait so that you can have what ever service you are using to chat on it and music at the same time.
Triple monitors. Highest quality in the center. One off to the side for videos/discord/other side programs. One off to the side mounted vertically for reading documents and web pages.
I had the goofiest setup years ago… It was a single 16:9 1080p in the middle, with two 4:3 (1024x768?) monitors rotated. The sizes were just right so the pixel density was the same, and the sides only had a little bit of overscan when joined to imitate an ultrawide.___
I’m more a fan of identical triple monitors and keeping them all in the same orientation (all vertical for doing a lot of programming; all horizontal for everything else), but that might just be my perfectionism coming through.
So what you’re saying is, 3x 32".
(I do lots of racing games)
Got a curved 45" ultrawide. It’s one of the highlights of my day sitting in front that thing.
Still, dual monitors can be useful for sure. It may look ‘messy’, but definitely functional.
