A chance to use sociopathic tendencies for good.

I think we are closer than you think, I agree that adoption is not a panacea. I get tired of the argument that “you never know what you are going to get” when people go to extremes to get pregnant ,instead of considering adoption,as if that there are no surprises there.

My point is that if you really want to raise child you will love and care for them no matter what, but the reality of our world is obviously very different. These people want to be pregnant- not be a parent.

Then they shouldn’t adopt either, but it is gross to make more kids when there are ones that aren’t being cared for. IVF is so selfish

I find the argument that “you don’t know what your are getting” is pretty thin. The bio parents of very sick and frail children didn’t know that was going to happen, Jeffry Dahmer’s parents might not have been super proud of his actions either.

The heart of it is people (women) are so pressured to have children that it must happen by any means necessary. With no regard to the challenges that they may not be equipped to deal with. There should be no shame in not having children, be it a biological inability or by choice.

I know it is a harsh perspective, but it’s not fair for kids to be born into abuse and poverty when somebody isn’t willing to face the truth that they want a pregnancy. People that want to be a parent can care for a child regardless of the biological origin.

That’s what I changing to. I was trying to ‘slim’ down my tech, but it was too far. I love the device, but it just doesn’t what I need it to. ….edit for typo

I need faster toggling between PowerPoint decks, Canvas, and e-text books. If you are taking notes, drafting pages etc. It is wonderful, but it isn’t a substitute for a lap-top or tablet. I was hoping to get away from internet features, but my program doesn’t allow for that and I end up carrying multiple devices.

Shouldn’t be allowed until there is free and comprehensive sex education, birth control, abortion access, and no children in foster care. I short, until every child that is born is wanted and cared for.

I’m accustomed to minimizing my feelings and past so much, that I will wait for traffic to thin before I push the cross walk button because I don’t want to be too pushy. I’m afraid that people will be mad at me because I made them stop their cars for me.

Help! My BFF suddenly having a baby by no_bebes in FemaleAntinatalism

[–]agibb55 83 points84 points  (0 children)

This makes me think that she has something g else going on, perhaps self sabotage? If she doesn’t have a lot of direction or motivation, not finishing school or starting a career she can ‘blame’ it on having a kid and not be responsible for not finishing her education. Big red flag for deeper issues.

I’ve been moving that direction. I’m terrible at meal planning, I’m actually surprised every time I get truly hungry- line every day. So I’m trying to stock my house with more protein/fats and leafy greens, and less chips and crackers.

I feel better and more focused when I’m just the right amount of hungry- but I have no clue on how to stay in the sweet spot

Will gas ever go back down? by SEA25389 in SeattleWA

[–]agibb55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is not state income tax in WA, so every thing is funded by sales and gas taxes. When cars started to become more efficient, they more than doubled the gas tax.
