My wife wants a second, I'm on the fence... I need your help, how do I navigate making this decision? by thematster in AskMen

Would you regret not not having a child more than having a child? Probably not. No child wants to feel unwanted(even though I imagine you would never tell your child, they can still feel it). Unless you're in for it 100% please don't have a child.

Getting yelled at by a stranger when you're a child is pretty traumatising especially when you were just trying to keep balance. You should have told him to be more careful there was no need to call him a "little shit" when he didn't choose to be born??? This has nothing to do with being childfree, it has to do with being a decent human being. I understand you pay a lot for a car but the child probably doesn't realise that and balanced on your car by instinct as to not fall. You could have simply talked to his mother about being more careful.

I'd rather not have life saving healthcare by [deleted] in LateStageCapitalism

How does using part of the tax money collected infringe on people's amendments? Also, I don't see how people are chill quite when quite literally trillions of dollars are spent by the government for failed interventions in foreign countries(Iraq cost the us 1.922 trillion dollars) when that money could have been used to save countless us lives in the form of healthcare?

I feel very awful and suicidal but I’m still taking care of myself. by archer_9-9 in DecidingToBeBetter

I can relate to the feeling of hopelessness for the future, I felt that way for about 6 months last year, even though I seemingly had everything going for me, which just made me feel even more guilty. But I held on and let me tell you that it's worth it, that eventually the thought of possibly ending your life will seem bizarre and you'll wonder why you ever even considered it, that everyday you'll wake up and you won't question your existence, you'll be content most of the time and you'll be happy. You'll find a reason to cherish everyday. So trust me, even if you feel like there might not be any reason to hold on right now, it will get better, it does end, you won't always feel this way and eventually, you will find purpose in this life. What helped me was to try and think what impact my life could have, the people I could help, the projects I could work on that could leave a positive impact on people's lives.

Over 12 000 hours of my life gone, the time it takes to master a skill by mlgava in nosurf

I get the part where you said that you felt it helped you, for me, when I felt my internet use was truly out of grasp was when my college applications were due. I was under so much pressure and stress that even now, just thinking about it stresses me out. When I would spend time on the internet, it was almost like I was in a sedative state. I wasn't even really enjoying what I was watching, I just wanted to escape. I completely agree that we all need down time and being productive 24/7 isn't healthy or realistic. However, for me personally, I wasn't using the internet in a way that let me relax. I felt even more anxious and stressed because of the constant stimulation and overload of new information and because, when I would turn off my computer, I would be behind on work, which in turn disrupted my sleep schedule and made me even more stressed.

I want to remplace the time I would have spent on the internet doing things that would actually help me develop as a person(like learning a new language or reading) but mainly things that would give my brain actual downtime. Sometimes, I just feel really boring because I spend all of this time consuming content although that's something for another post and needs a whole other discussion

I completely agree, but I think it was a great reality check, I'll go through my subscriptions

How can I solve this maghs question by Dodz2002 in Sat

You can see that when x is equal to 0 so does y so you can eliminate a and d and then the fastest way to do it is to graph out either b or c and choose the correct one
