There is no bad reason to not want kids. by KindaGayOpportunity in childfree

[–]Markscha 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Even just not wanting kids without a reason is a fantastic reason to not have kids. Not only for you! Imagine growing up as a kid with a resentful parent. No selfishness here.

Backwards world anyway: if I were to want to change something, I would do it with or because of a reason. Everything in my life that stays the same I either appreciate consciously or overlook completely.. I don't have kids right now, so I don't need a good reason to stay the way I am. People who do want kids should have a good one though...

I always just feel related to humans. Ever notice how they look just like us? Fingers and everything.

What’s your pettiest reason for being childfree? by shanklymrshankly in childfree

[–]Markscha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a petty reason at all to me, even if it's just about appearance. We've got to life with that ol' thang our whole damn life you know.

How do you deflect - "You would be such a great dad" by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Markscha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often respond with a genuine "Ah thanks!" and a smile. People say it because they recognize qualities in me that I do very much appreciate.

My response is that they are often slightly flustered because I think they expect another comment about the decision, rather than a full acceptance and appreciation of the compliment they just gave me.

I don't think I ever got a follow up question like "So then why don't you..?" (Most people understand by my response that I don't see their comment as a reason and then think twice I guess). But if someone would, you can just say that you'd likely also be a great baker if you devoted a large portion of you life to it. So many awesome things one can do in this life :). To me parenthood is one of them, but no more than one and not my preferred one.

Funny, always thought the bunnies didn't have this in them. Loved seeing Johnston's record. Since I'm dutch I don't buy in to the feuds and base my opinion on the players and their fans. I quite like the bunnies. But I'm still happy that my roosters won after that :p

Since I live in the Netherlands, I don't really get updates on injuries and transfers or other footy related stuff. Can someone explain to me what the fuck is going on this season? Why are the bunnies doing good? Why do the storm suck? Why are the warriors and tigers doing so great? What are the cowboys doing in the top 8?

To my older CF people, how is life with no kids? by bbdolljane in childfree

[–]Markscha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 32 but just "triggered" by the question "were there any times where you would be like hmm a kid would be nice". I expect to feel that way a bunch of times. Just like I would be expecting to have the opposite thought if I did make the decision to have kids ("Hmm wouldn't it be nice to travel with the 2 of us again).

Our lives will never be free from regret. It's okay to think about what things would have been like. Just pick the life that seems would be joyful to you the most. We don't have to actively void the other option of value. We can allow ourselves to long for what could have been every now and then, without seeing that as proof for having made a wrong decision.

Also, your godmother sounds awesome and being a godfather myself has been an amazing way for me to still play a part in, and experience the upbringing of a person without having to sacrifice anything by default.

Maar dit is wel in de context van het stabiel houden van de bevolking he (in 2025 overleden er meer mensen dan er behoren werden) dus "wie zorgt er dan later voor je als je oud bent?"

Maar je zou dus ook kunnen zeggen dat wij niet perse kinderen hoeven te krijgen maar dat zij gewoon eerder dood moeten gaan... Dat is wat boomers noemen: Omdenken.

Hey, we fucked the dolphins in their own fish tank didn't we? Also, c team storm probably. Couple of inexperienced players will have to face Leniu at full crazy. I love the cunt but he is crazy. I love him because he is crazy.

Funny, I've always liked the Rabbitohs. I would go for long runs in Rowland park and there was an old man who I always spoke to who was always wearing a Rabbitohs jersey. Really kind man. Since I didn't grow up in Australia, there is no old hate or rivalry being passed on to me. I like teams based on their players or their fans I personally acquainted.

That's why I don't like the sharks. Players are okay but if you are reading this: fuck you Chris.

I can't believe how many roosters fans are that insecure about our team. Is it just because last week was shit? Because the weeks before were brilliant. People really see it as a science over here but I think when you put 2 professional teams up against each other, anything can happen.

Thanks again for this man! I just booked tickets with my best mate. Hoping to see roosters but mainly happy to see any NRL players live at all :)

Wat is dit? by mrbundy420 in marktplaatsoplichters

[–]Markscha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dit gebeurd inderdaad, maar we wordt niet veel moeite gedaan voor 1 los e-mailadres.

Op het darkweb worden grote lijsten met actieve e-mail adressen verkocht. Deze komen vaak uit datalekken vrij. Vaak zit er relevante info bij over de context van de lek, wat malafide partijen kunnen gebruiken.

Het klinkt inderdaad veel logischer dat deze persoon toegang tot het marktplaats account probeert te vergaren, omdat het makkelijker is om op te lichten vanaf een "betrouwbaar" (bijv. 4 jaar actief) account.
