I'm personally aware that this is a pretty serious problem. I'm also aware I'm not the one who caused it, nor is it my duty to solve it. Answers have been proposed and ignored, so I'm not having kids. Oligarchs get no slaves from me.

What makes you different?

My man, I just don't want pedophiles needlessly occupying my attention. Shit doesn't even affect me. I have no kids. I know no kids. I'm just a grumpy old man shouting at clouds if I decide to be angry all fuckin day. You go be the change you wanna see in the world.

Plenty of people are angry. Anger is not the thing we're lacking. I don't want to think about pedophiles while I work. They're gonna keep existing whether or not I get mad at em while I try to read a document.

This shorthand ruined my job for me. Can't open a .pdf without thinking about terrible things happening to children. I don't understand how everyone is just okay obsessing over this shit when all it gets you is angry.

That's what's amazing to me. Every single driver resisting the urge to cut the line when the opportunity is right there? Couldn't be America.

I like this comment. Because you're right, I felt doom in the pit of my stomach before seeing it. Thanks for adding nuance.

I went down this rabbit hole years ago. I'm 100% convinced God is a tulpa.

It’s fucking stupid to turn your back on your family over politics

It's really not. Politics determine your opinions and intentions regarding human rights and its violations. If my dad votes for Robodolf Mechahitler, he's not my dad anymore. Someone voting for Trump would likely betray their own daughter when Gilead rises. If they wouldn't, their vote is a contradiction to their character. I wouldn't take something like this lightly.

Food deserts are real, and they show you real fast how exploitable you can be.

God bless this pitiful country.

I grew up poor and black. The illusion was never there.
