Not mad, exactly, just … really? Recently witnessed a news story out of Baltimore … a 17 YO high school senior is getting ready to graduate when he (and his mother, apparently) discovered that he had only completely sufficient credits for the ninth grade. From his report cards, he’d only managed to pass three classes …

Happy Nutday!
Sooo … I’m supposing, depending on the state of the vessel, the actual birth day is of no significance. Fertilized and done. There is/was a young woman in Texas who had charges brought then dismissed for “self-induced abortion.” Apparently, she tried to end her pregnancy without experiencing birth or the permission of the state. Guess …
All the Adults are Lying
I like what that guy said from that thing I didn’t watch. I saw an excerpt which is of course all I need to form an opinion (heh) and I completely agree with him/them/that. It’s too late. Back in the ‘70’s (that’s 19-hunnert to you, whippersnapper) there was still time to maybe fix the mess …
Children, the Worst Thing
… if you consider yourself a good person. Children will teach you that you are not. HA! Kids will disabuse you of THAT notion of the goodness of you doublequick. Prior to this whole breeding experience I/me/we were under the impression that, yeh, mostly all right. Not perfect, not a total psychopath, somewhere comfortably on …
Smart A$$ Kid
Truth in disclosure? Took me a minute to warm up to theKid. Not that the love wasn’t there – that’s biology, like pooping – but enjoying theKid as a separate, distinct person with personality? That took a few years. While theKid was counted in months, the entire parenting experience – for us, as we – …
Breed a Brood
First off – don’t have kids. Expensive, heart-breaking, sarcastic little snots that bind your life. Don’t do it. Please see prior/previous/former discussion … Quick refresher? No. That would be a hard no, full stop, end discussion. Not for you, but for them. BUT! HOWEVER! NEVERTHELESS! if you (Other Person) elect to ignore sage advice … …
Smart Women
There exists a group of women (and some men) out of England who have elected not to procreate due to the pending demise of the world … “BirthStrike.” Sounds like babies on SWAT teams. Kind of pessimistic, but nevertheless a really good idea. Not only due to the upcoming apocalypse, but because kids are really …
Better Living Through Not Being an A**hole
I may have stated earlier that I am a horrible person, and actively relish being so. I don’t like people. Overall, people are usually a disappointment, and unnecessary frustration. HOWEVER Individuals are occasionally OK. My spouse is an individual, and although I am still uncertain as to why Half remains betrothed to thee I am …

I definitely do / ‘Til death
There was … an object in the intersphere – post, article, meme, whatever – about the nightmare of modern dating, and how people who have managed to get married should probably stay there. On the Tubes ofYou Rollo Tomassi and Aaron Clarey are big in the “manosphere,” the MGTOW (MenGoingTheirOwnWay), Incel(?), whole Red Pill thing …
Replicant
Mostly, kids are great. Mostly. Poopacalypse notwithstanding, those little versions of yourself, walking the earth, mimicking and mocking you, is cool in an indescribable way. Only thing—having kids is exactly like having a lot of money. The fact does not change you, only magnifies who you really are. And if you do it wrongly bad …
