  • I on the other hand also agree with you now, that a swift change in politics can definitely upend an entire nation and affect several generations to come.

    But when we have children, we go into it with a lot of risk. The child might be born with disorders, develop crippling phobias, be bullied, get cancer. We never know what might happen. I might get run over by a car on my way to work tomorrow. But I can’t live my life thinking “what if” all the time. We have to keep going and have to keep fighting for a better life. Or work to maintain a good life we might already have.

    Or at least that’s a drive that a lot of humans have. It’s in the nature of the majority of people I would guess. Otherwise we wouldn’t be here, because our ancestors would’ve already cut the chain. Life is fuckin’ hard, quite frankly. And if that drive wouldn’t be there, it wouldn’t be worth it. 😅 Sharing it with people you love is what makes it worthwhile IMO.

    Thanks for a good talk 😊

    In some countries you are a disease away of financial bankruptcy. Good luck being able to 100% guarantee a living.

    Yup, but far from everywhere.

    Furthermore, this is the first generation that is worse off than the previous one

    Strong doubt 🤨 Which generation are we talking about? Lots of wars and plagues and stuff in history have made a generation of people worse off than their parents. That obviously didn’t stop us from procreating.

    Maybe I’m a pessimist, but introducing a child into this roulette is not the kindest if you think about it.

    Definitely are, or maybe more accurately a perspectivist, if that’s a thing. There are lots of countries and societies where bringing children up is not a “roulette” or “child abuse”. Everyone I know has good means and nothing but love for their children, in spite of (sometimes harsh) difficulties.

    And we are more emotionally aware of ourselves and our children in this generation than ever before. For the first time, a generation of parents are raising themselves and their children simultaneously. It’s very emotionally and mentally taxing but it’s a very good step in the right direction. We are listening to our kids and understanding their needs.

    Have a good day, try not to generalize a (personal?) bad situation. ❤️





  • Perspective

    Trump is walking in front of Ronaldo. He should appear even larger if he is indeed already taller side-by-side, than Ronaldo.

    Images can be deceiving.

    Trump is deceiving.

    height does not matter.

    • Speculation exists that Trump’s height may have been exaggerated to enhance his public image, as being taller is often perceived positively in politics.
    • Height has been noted as a factor in presidential elections, with taller candidates often perceived as more favorable by voters.



  • You’re not being annoying as a person ☺️🫂 I just mean that there’s a lot of posting with like a link to the release page of a project in GitHub and the title just says “Software X version Y released” and no more info.

    Sometimes it can be really difficult to understand what the software is or why we should be interested in it, or even this release in particular.

    But I believe you at least posted what you found interesting about this release, in the description. 👍 That’s great! I didn’t mean you were the one release dumping, I just meant it’s annoying when it does happen. 😁

    Take care!






  • You’re misunderstanding. I didn’t read all of it because I realized what you were getting at, is all. I’m rightfully called out, and everyone calling me out is doing good work, so thank you.

    I’m sorry you were subjected to sexual assault. But I’m not trying to normalize it. I just wasn’t aware of the context of the post. So again, apologies for that. My head is on straight regarding sex trafficking, believe me.
