Hey now... houseplants are pleasant and inviting. This guy's more like a wet blanket.
There's a reason for that. Frank Darabont was the director who made season one great. After season one's strongly positive reception, AMC decided that they wanted to double the episodes, hack the budget, and then halfway through season 2 they let Darabont go and replaced him with some piss poor other director who couldn't hold a candle to Darabont. YMS does a great job explaining it and shitting mightily on AMC.

Hahaha, I was wondering if it might trick him when he got back in (I let him outside when we were done), but he walked right through it to lay down on his bed 😆

Or better yet, buy from Punk with a Camera if you hate Amazon like I do. They have two versions. One like OP's (Chaos Marine) or T45 Fallout Power Armor
I didn't interpret their use of the word individualistic as an assertion that those who choose to be child-free are selfish. Selfish has a negative connotation to it that I don't feel they were going for. I think they were just contrasting that while being a parent requires putting yourself aside and focusing on a different human, being child-free allows a person to focus on their individual goals, whims, what have you.
I also agree with you that there is nothing wrong with a person choosing not to have kids, and there's a lot of reasons to pick from. For me, those are:
•I have never yearned for motherhood
•I find pregnancy impressive from a biological perspective but at the same time horrific and something I never want to go through
•I am prone to depression which makes it hard for me to care for myself on a consistent basis so I am not going to bring another life into this world only to be too swamped in self-loathing to take care of them
•I detest humanity, we have spent our entire existence as a species ravaging the earth as well as each other and I see no end to it. I hate that realistically I will have to watch people be cruel to each other for the rest of my life and have decided not to create another human who has to trudge through this hellscape which undoubtedly will only be worse off in their future
Yes, please, take us too
I hear you on just wanting what's best for your community, but checking out will only harm them further. Our communities need support now more than ever. I'm not trying to harp, either, I get it. I am demoralized as fuck these days, and honestly have little to zero hope for humanity in general. But even so, I won't be a part of letting these fucks just walk into office unopposed. Votes matter, and especially at the local level. Vote for the best candidates at all levels, every election. I am not even suggesting that means your choices must be for a democrat, vote independent if that's who the best option is. I live in a blue state, but my county historically leans red. What's promising is that even in this shit show of a situation, a couple postions that usually go red went to non-red people this time (yes, someone who ran without party affiliation won, AND they were running against a Republican). I hope my community can keep that trend moving. Nobody good is going to get through without support. Be there to support the people who have the guts to try to unfuck this mess.

Agreed! When I was young my dad would catch any spiders that got inside the house, show them to me so we could geek out about them, and then have me help him take the spider back outside. I definitely credit him with my love and appreciation for spiders (and insects/arachnids in general)
And here's your dog tax! C:
