I'm curious how many of those 7/10 think it's a good thing

I have a kid and I feel this way.

To be clear, I absolutely love my son and I'm glad I have him. But I also still feel like if I had decided not to have kids, I'd have been fine with it.

It's a different framing now though, of "Do you want a kid", in the hypothetical, vs. "Would you be ok if you didn't have [Insert your kid's name here]." I'd be devastated if my son were not in my life. But I think I'd have been fine if I chose not to have a kid.

My brother in law has ADHD. He lives next door to me.

He has a car he parks on the street. In my city you're required to get a registration sticker for your car, it's like $100 or something, good for a year. Every day you don't have a valid sticker you can get a new ticket on your car. It takes two minutes to go online and order a new one.

For the last three years, hes been racking up tickets on his car for an expired sticker. One a week roughly, $60 per ticket I think. He usually lets them pile up until he gets final notices then pays them all online at double the cost.

Twice now he's has his car booted, then impounded, due to unpaid tickets. He even includes tickets on his car as part of budgeting. I've offered a couple times if he'd hand me his license to go online and order the sticker for him. I've stopped offering since that offer is met with intense anger.

It takes TWO MINUTES to go online and order a new one. Poor guy

Haha I've lived there for almost a year between two stints and had a lot of free time for one of them so seemed like a fun thing to learn.

It very occasionally has been helpful traveling in more rural Germany speaking areas

I'm an American who speaks decent German. I've gotten this flak traveling in non-German speaking Europe - Stupid American only speaking English attitude thrown my way. Mother fucker I'm in France, a German would also be using English here. To some people the only way to not be "that American" is to speak all the languages.

On the flip side, I've had a few Germans ask me why I bothered learning their language when I could just use English.

Just make sure when pieces get taken you drag them under the board instead of deleting them. Otherwise what will you do when you need to promote a pawn?
