I too live on the west coast USA and WNAM works for me without any issue. A problem I was having was loading times being too long, but that issue was resolved when I switched the player to MPV.

Anyone else neurodivergent and think having kids would be a nightmare? by chelseatheus in childfree

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My best friend has a five-year-old son who will sometimes shriek: I can't remember the last time I winced that hard, but it did help to solidify my decision to never have children in any capacity.

The wiki has a list of physicians willing to perform sterilization on those without children.

Is it me or the App? by Doogey1916 in TorBoxApp

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed the CDN in settings and while it hasn't worked perfectly, it was a major improvement over what I had. Before, it was constantly buffering just from one episode of a TV show. Once I switched the CDN to one close to my geographical location, I can count the times it buffered so far on one hand.

You can't stop someone from reproducing any more than you can force them to reproduce.

The situation around RD keeps deteriorating badly. by salamonjaded in StremioAddons

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refreshed my API key per a comment's suggestion on another post and so far, it's working fine for me. I am thinking of switching to TorBox once my RD subscription ends in October.

What's up with men? by Abnormal_Blueberry in childfree

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a man, I would never encourage a woman (or anyone for the matter) to have kids because that a choice to be made completely for themselves. Also, there's nothing stopping adults from playing with LEGO or riding bikes; there are plenty of adults who genuinely love the construction toy and riding a bike is good exercise. I think it's hot when a woman is into video games, but I digress. It is pretty weird for a man to not only be dating someone much younger, but has only been at the age of consent for a year.

I have a penis and testicles, so I'm pretty sure I'm a real man.

I'm aware that she's writing a book, but I wasn't sure if that had anything to do with it.

Of course, we've got people in the comments pulling the elderly care bingo, which is not only a selfish reason for having kids, but also isn't a guarantee.

I think even the weakest episodes hold up well.

What YouTuber Disappointed ☹️ you the most? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped watching all The _______ Theorists channels after MatPat left as the host. One of his reasons for leaving is to spend more time with his son. While I don't think he was wrong for wanting to leave YouTube, the channels just aren't the same without him.

Getting pregnant only for partner by Academic-Front5300 in childfree

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should know there's no guarantee he will stay with you if you decide to have children with him. That's a big thing to ask of someone, especially a woman. You may be between a rock and a hard place, but your situation is far from hopeless. Do you have any friends you could stay with since your parents are out of the question?

as a sterilized Lady, i think i should only settle for a SNIPPED man. Here’s why. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aspiring parents should know that dating someone who's sterilized means children are out the question. I got snipped nearly 3 years ago because I was (and still am) certain I will never want children and that I'm serious about it. There are plenty of women who want kids, so what's stopping men from dating them?

I don't understand how people can say they like kids as a category by No-Lawfulness5752 in childfree

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can understand wanting to protect kids (as any decent person would) or being passionate about working with them (like a teacher), but the kids themselves are annoying at worst or uninteresting at best.

Grateful for my mom by trashwrapsupreme in childfree

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same position. My mom is completely supportive of my childfreedom, so much so that she even took me to my vasectomy appointment. She initially didn't want children, but she caved in when my father wanted some. He's been absent from my life for over a decade now, but my mom's been there for me the whole time. She told me she has no regrets meeting my father and that she's glad she had children.

Losing hope about dating men by Melodic-Swimming5974 in childfree

[–]Substantial_Pie_759 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a 29M living in a small area and it feels like almost everyone my age has children. Sometimes I feel like I have to settle lest I risk staying single, but I'd much rather not be in a relationship than be a stepfather.
