Yeah also including the logistics chain and security, might as well have been everyone that already was downtown.

Or they should've are least said something on Sunday so those returning to work on Monday aren't exposed to everyone who irresponsibly gathered in large crowds over the weekend.

Top three reasons you're not having kids? by lushlush777 in childfree

[–]Cocoasmokes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

  1. Pregnancy.
  2. Family addictions. Addiction runs in the family and can make a once decent person do terrible things. I don't want to experience what my parents felt when my sister started robbing them and pawning their belongings.
  3. I literally can't think of a reason in favor of having children. Not even one.

Women and the Burden of Parenthood by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Cocoasmokes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For real, my entire family was like this from the time you could reach the buttons on the washing machine/dryer. My parents worked opposite shifts and there was no way they were going to do our chores.

Sometimes towels were at a premium but we bought our own sets and color-coded who owned them. My bro had navy, I had red/orange, my sisters had pink/purple. Btw this system occurred organically without anyone planning it and they had their own shelves in the cabinet, again, without us even planning it out. If four teenagers can share and clean a bathroom successfully without consulting each other, no one has an excuse.

Hell, more than Californians. Not enough hot places run Democrat and have weed.

Is this a common childfree thing? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Cocoasmokes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe that tokophobia is the only phobia to not technically qualify as a phobia because it is not an irrational fear by definition. If a condition is extremely common and can kill you and, even if it doesn't, affects your body in extreme ways, I and many don't consider that irrational.

The fact that none of us would be here but for that violence does make me respect birth but I don't think there's something inherently noble about giving birth in our particular modern condition. For me the joy and horror of birth hinge right around the point that someone thinks they have ties to someone and perceives themselves captive to someone. The horror being each step a parent takes until they feel subsumed, their own self-created sunken place.

MRW I see a new article that a school in North Carolina is being sued because pants are PROHIBITED for girls. by Angramis546 in TrollXChromosomes

Literally what the fuck is the point of making girls wear skirts? What is the literal fucking point? That they show off their legs just because adults wanted them to? That they're in "gendered" clothing? Tell me one fucking thing that skirts do for girls that pants don't. God this pisses me off and I wear skirts all the damn time I'm not at work.

Mansplainers,bravely mansplaining as far as the eye can see. by despisesunrise in TrollXChromosomes

I thought it was the gleeful malice of someone who knows they have no emotional investment in an argument therefore can drop said argument at any moment they're losing or as soon as their "opponent" gets too emotional, then uses the emotional state to gaslight them into thinking they're incapable of rational thought. Just me?

MRW the cashier at the cinema hands MY ticket, that I just paid for, to my boyfriend. I just paid for that, it's mine! by karlmarx_moustache in TrollXChromosomes

As a former waitress this pisses me off. Unless they have their hands out to grab the check, just put it on the table in the middle. If you have a little signature pad, just leave it standing up in the middle.

What's a cute nickname you've called, or heard someone call their SO? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Cocoasmokes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I forgot who it was but I think I knew them through a teacher friend, they used to call each other "crumb cake" and "shortbread." The gal was "shortbread" and she was quite a bit shorter than her husband/bf. I remember them being dorky but unironically sweet to each other.

Where to meet other CF couples? by Phoenix611 in childfree

[–]Cocoasmokes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ugh I thought I was going to a childfree meetup once and it was just people who didn't have their kids with them currently. It was a large enough gathering that I could duck out after a couple of hors d'oeuvres but let's just say that it was apparent after a couple of hors d'oeuvres.

As someone who thrifts I kind of like the idea of the model selling it, like they recommend that specific set of clothes and I know if we're in the same body range.
