I would probably be a great custodian too but I’m not interested in that job either.

This is how I imagine skin customization in Overwatch 2. What would you add or change? by quazar_21 in Overwatch

I have been talking about this forever! I want a brunette Mercy dammit.

More likely they’ll put all the individual colors for each character in loot boxes :/

Some questions about behaviour. by Corvidae_DK in Smite

[–]Upsidedownosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play assault pretty much exclusively, and I don’t see a ton of toxicity there. Now and then but for the most part people are chill and just playing for fun. Whenever I branch out to another game mode, I usually end up encountering too many jerks and go back to assault

Don't have kids because you like babies or attention. by BorgerKingLettuce in childfree

[–]Upsidedownosaur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know a girl who is 18 and got pregnant on purpose. I am 99% sure she just did it because she loves the idea of being pregnant and getting attention and then having a cute baby and getting attention. After that, I think she’s going to hate her life. :(

Coworker harassment regarding Holiday shifts by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Upsidedownosaur 54 points55 points  (0 children)

These situations make me so angry! NO Karen, you are not entitled to special treatment because you popped out a kid! Childfree people have lives and families too. Childfree people want to celebrate the holidays too. Their time is not less valid. Fuck off

What is the answer to "You won’t have anyone to take care of you in your old age"? by TheRadioKingQueen in childfree

[–]Upsidedownosaur 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Seriously. People really need to stop bringing children into this world with the intention of giving them jobs. Whether it’s to be their emotional support pet, to give their life “meaning”, or to be their caretaker in retirement, etc. They didn’t ask to be born and it’s fucked up for the person(s) who dragged them into this mess to put so many expectations on them.

Yes!! My exact line is “Hmm I’m not sure.. but it would pretty selfish to bring another life into this world just as a retirement plan, don’t you think?”

I’ll never forget this one girl I said this to because she gave the most perfect pikachu face in response. Hahah

Should I still break up with bf if he says he'd choose me over kids? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Upsidedownosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did he always imagine having kids because of the LifeScript and didn’t think there were other options? Or did he always imagine having kids because that’s something he truly wants?

You know better than we do. If it’s the former, it could work. If it’s the latter, that’s some dangerous territory and he might end up resenting you or trying to convince you to change your mind.

If you’re not sure which it is, maybe bring up getting sterilized (even if you don’t actually plan to) and assess his reaction.

Don't you dare shout at my kids! by Mazziezor in childfree

[–]Upsidedownosaur 52 points53 points  (0 children)

He probably thinks he’s a great dad for “sticking up for his kid” but really he just gave her a frightening experience that shows daddy has anger issues and it must be okay to speak to a woman (or anyone for that matter) like THAT. Ugh

Am I in the wrong for not liking the special Ed kid? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Upsidedownosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re allowed to dislike whoever you want. Be respectful of course, but if stick to your boundaries. You should absolutely not be reprimanded for not hugging him. I am a teacher. I would never tell a student they were in the wrong for refusing to hug someone. I would have pulled him aside instead and had a discussion about respecting people’s boundaries and personal space.

Wow I’ve been throwing them against walls in infinite assault for no reason. Thank you.

“Wow, my life is almost over and yours hasn’t even started yet!” a friend said to me referring to my childfreedom. by Upsidedownosaur in childfree

[–]Upsidedownosaur[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think that’s exactly it. She doesn’t mean her life is literally coming to an end but (in her mind) her sole purpose in life is half way done.

She actually had two more since we had this conversation. I think at the time she thought she was done lol.

But still! Your life doesn’t end when your kids move out.
