And having boring politics again! Remember the times when it wasn’t terrifying to look at the news?

40. Same lol.

I bet they are all on bsky

doot doot

My husband and I chose not to have biological children and there are so many reasons for it. It’s not even just one big one - it’s multiple huge ones. Lack of support systems for parents and childcare, finances (we are ok for a couple, but there is no way we could comfortably afford even a single child), healthcare costs alone will break you, the future of this planet is not looking so hot (or rather, VERY hot actually), carbon footprint of another child on the planet is huge, and I refuse to bring in another soul to become a slave for our corporate overlords. And I am not even listing any personal reasons, which there also are - these are just things that are happening in the world overall… and the best the politicians can do is pikachu face that there is no population growth. Because, ya know, 8 BILLION of us is not enough.

Cries in freedumb

how do I delete someone else’s post…

glow beans!

You should have kept reading the article. “But Kirkpatrick’s comments, which come as he is about to retire after a 27-year defense and intelligence-focused career, are more intriguing because he also says that “none” of the hundreds of military UFO reports analyzed by his office recently “have been positively attributed to foreign activities.””

would be perfect for me, sans the guest entertainment… unless said guest entertainment includes hissing at the guests as I retreat back into my hobbit hole until they leave.

I feel personally attacked

Same. No kids. Sleep’s still fucked.

Here we go again

I can relate lol

And insurance companies already pulling out of high risk areas!

Oh I definitely don’t think people are taking it seriously yet, and totally agree with you that the climate change headlines are getting harder to ignore even for someone who knows nothing about what is happening with the planet. I hope that people will wake up sooner rather than later, but I don’t actually think it’ll happen until it is way too late.

D and E combined lol

Hey, this is the last hope I have. There’s not a lot of it, but there is a tiny chance that maybe maybe maybe things will get better. Very likely not, but, you know, one could hope.

I am so glad he is gone. I stopped playing any blizzaed games partially because of this shmuck… and partially because the games became trash. Here’s hoping things will turn around now that he is gone.

Sus…
