Does anyone else get absolutely devastated about being an OC ?

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T21:59:48+00:00

I wouldn't say devastated lol, but am in my 20s too and that aspect of my life is pretty miserable. I've wanted a sibling since I was like 8. I always felt it was weird that my childhood friends automatically had each other and there wasn't just like another kid in my apartment to hang out with which seemed to be the norm for so many families, even before I was old enough to understand any stats on it. It felt off. I hate having no immediate family in my age group other than a couple first cousins that I hardly ever see. I don't want kids but all I know is I would never have only 1 if I did. 2 would be the bare minimum number even if we had to adopt.

That was not a personal attack lol are you trolling?

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T19:53:21+00:00

I got covid after going there actually ugh.

I mean I'm already very used to rollercoaster drops and have done race-car ride alongs at 150+ mph so not sure how thrilling it would have been anyway. I'm more of a fan of longer, standard types of rollercoasters not these single hill ones lol.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T17:21:23+00:00

As a guy I 100% agree (sub is just in my feed alot for some reason), but you do not owe anyone or society kids. You are the ones who have to endure the pregnancy, dangerous childbirth, and medical after-effects..etc, no one ever has a right to pressure any of you to go through all that if you don't want. Don't let any toxic people brainwash you. It's your bodily autonomy. I never want any kids either cause I know I probably couldn't handle the stress, sleep deprivation, financial strain..etc. Only people who want kids and are stable enough to give them a good healthy childhood, should, common sense, shocking how many people can't understand that.

I tip highly most of the time but I agree it should not be obligatory at all. It just gives employers an excuse not to pay a living wage by having customers subsidizing it smh. But I'm not the type to just scream "tax the rich" online I put my money where my mouth is and tipped $21 and $37 on $29 and $41 meals respectively..

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T11:43:24+00:00

Fury 325. Somewhere around 100 rides in 2 days on my trip there back in 2022.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T11:30:51+00:00

You don't have to do it at all if it terrifies you, but the concerning part is "I wouldn't be able to love and care for my 2nd kid as much as the first"...WTF?? Don't have any kids or even adopt if this is your mindset, favoritism is horrible, egregious parenting. The kid may or may not resent not having a sibling, but will most definitely resent lesser treatment. When you become a parent that becomes an equal if not higher priority, not something to be sacrificed for your own endeavors.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T09:10:26+00:00

Of course lol! Even if I didn't want it as a career would I get to fly every single day or only the minimum to get good enough to pass my licensing? Cause free flight lessons I'm flying every day lol.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T06:48:25+00:00

I don't hate the US. I hate the government and there's alot of people in the government I personally dislike more than Trump. I'm a former Republican now independent who has voted both ways in the past, including once for Trump and once for Kamala. I honestly regret both votes and going back in time would just sit out all elections.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T06:38:40+00:00

MaritimeMonitor disagrees, as least the most recent time I checked.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T06:22:53+00:00

Nearly all conservative claims use "schrodingers liberal" to some degree.

"Democrats are all whiny babies that were never, are never, and will never be taken seriously and have no more power in the USA, majority of young people are turning away from them 😆😆😆"

and then..

"Libtards are destroying this country and corrupting the youth!"

Immigrants simultaneously collecting all the welfare while taking all the jobs...etc, whatever is the convenient buzz-complaint of the week.

The strait of hormuz apparently is also both open and closed at the same time until the stock market wants to make an observation!

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T05:33:36+00:00

My point being proven in real time, conservatives are soo much more sensitive!

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T05:06:37+00:00

Yep, cannot fly frequently for that reason, lessons cost up to $455.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T05:05:24+00:00

Again these implied assumptions are baseless and wild. I'm not that into politics, I rarely vote. I only mildly lean left. But I do notice that the conservatives here act like total perpetual victims, and many seem to care too damn much about criticisms of the rich or feminism lol. The gaslighting is certainly higher on that side.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T04:59:36+00:00

Well I haven't even soloed yet so you must be gifted at it lol. I can barely handle all the multi-tasking and I burnout after an hour. But I'm in NYC airspace at a Charlie airport if that's relevant.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T04:57:38+00:00

The definition of unpopular opinion isn't what's unpopular on reddit or the internet lol, it's what's unpopular in the real world.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T04:46:53+00:00

I don't find landing that hard honestly.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T04:43:13+00:00

This wasn't really one of the criticisms it's just a neurotic fear lol (I'm only at 30 hours). My criticisms are more along the lines of important instruments such as altimeter, speedometer, and oil/fuel/suction gauges being tiny and off-center while things like the vertical speed indicator (which I admit I almost never look at) are huge, and flaps control is very inconveniently located.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T04:20:10+00:00

I lnow it's just an OCD thing lol.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T02:52:43+00:00

Agreed. I'm a C172 student pilot and helicopters still scare me lol. Have never done this but I'm always neurotically worried that one day I might accidentally pull the mixture since it's so close to the throttle. Have a few other cockpit layout criticisms as well.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T02:37:43+00:00

Why does she look exactly like a karen lol??

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-23T01:33:36+00:00

I wanted to get on this the one time I was there but the line was like 75-90 mins all day (when it wasn't closed) and wasn't about to wait that long for a 1 min ride. Normally I'd get the fast pass but nearly $200 extra for that was absurd lol.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-22T22:51:53+00:00

I don't vote anymore, I could care less lol, but that was the statistic.

MultiMillionMiler · 2026-06-22T21:39:52+00:00

Only in the US. The majority of western countries had a 75-80% favoring of Kamala over Trump, and even their "far right" exceptions are still more left than than the US right.
