Some rough math says pretty much all of them, and you'll need to stop heating your house too.

Yeah. Just had this convo with my partner two days ago.

Reasons why I don't want kids.

Number one, they can't consent to being born, If given the choice, I would not consent to being born right now, why should I force that on someone else.

Number two, we can't afford kids right now, even with both of us working full time jobs. (Not bragging, but both my partner and I make over the median household income for our area. I legit have no idea how other people do it, because we are paycheck to paycheck right now.)

Number three, even though abortion is legally protected in the constitution of my state, our legislators at the state and the federal levels are seeking to undo those protections against the will of the people. There is no guarantee that if we had a complicated pregnancy, that they would survive or even be able to find healthcare.

Number four, we are knowingly perpetuating an ongoing climate disaster. I can't in good faith bring someone into this world knowing that they will be displaced or die because the part of the planent they live on may become inhospitable due to our inaction.

Number five, we're seeing the rise of far right antagonist fascist movement worldwide. At this point a global war for basic human rights is inevitable, if not already started.

Number six, there are always hundreds of thousands of children stuck in the foster/adoption system who are destined to struggle for the rest of their lives because of a lack of family support. I would adopt long before I would consider bringing another person into this world.

Thanks for attending my doom rant.

Hah.

That man has never been accountable for anything in his life. Hell, he's made it to 80 eating solely McDonalds fast food. Fucking colon cancer and heart disease can't hold this man accountable, what makes you think the spineless ass kissing money grubbers in Congress are going to do it?

It started happening naturally for me as I got older.

It may also be because I married a biologist.

She sends me pictures of snakes to ID pretty much first thing every morning.

You just cut the tape off. They last a pretty long time. I've got one going for two years intermittently here. If it looks too rough, you can take it out side and use a vacuum or air compressor to remove a lot of the surface dust.

Tape on the bottom is for the bottom panel. Usually it's just a cardboard sheet.

Through an improbable and insane series of events, the only facial filler I have right now is 250CCs of weasel cum. I can discount the service or reschedule you when another filler is available.

Yeah, but botulism is all natural.

Agreed. Take any overt religious symbols or phrases off of every government building, remove god from my money, pledge, and license plate.

No idea, I don't really give a fuck about a small quote without context said behind closed doors. I care about what issues were facing the nation, and what was done to solve them.

The Chad move was to arrest the SCOTUS as soon as the ruling came down.

Honestly, because we had clear expectations for Biden when he was elected.

Close the inhumane border camps.

Deal with Covid.

Prosecute trump and his collaborators litany of crimes.

In the end, he went 0/3 on those. His legacy is one of shirked responsibility.

Woah woah, it's American size, not Wisconsin sized. I based my estimate on the usage of average Americans, not outlier groups.

That's like a week's worth at best.

Well, I guess I could point to my snake enclosure camera (which conveniently covers the front door) showing an entry, or if the perps walk through the house, they would trigger the bunny cams, the other snake cam, or the lizard cam. Plus I have my outdoor cameras, although that is my specific scenario.

I'm sure there is an electronic lock on the market that logs when the door is opened, even if not locked. It would be trivial to look at the lock/unlock log and determine that the door was opened without unlocking. A regular tumbler lock isn't going to give you that kind of info.

50% is from the chemical process and 40% from burning fuel.”

So what I'm hearing is... If we switched to alternative energy transportation infrastructure, we could eliminate 40% of the CO2 released from the 2nd largest contributor? Seems like a good deal to me, we should do that ASAP.

Ah, chemical fertilizer must be made with crude oil and natural gas! And we must have started using those in the mid 1800s!

No, wait. Both of those are wrong.

You can NOT sustain our present human population with sunshine and puppies.

You know what else you can't sustain a human population with? A planet with no fresh water and a toxic atmosphere.

Let me help you.

Right, but that visible ball isn't reliable. You have no idea when it's going to work or not.

If anyone cares, sunset is at 9:04 PM today.

I know they typically don’t bite, and that their bites aren’t dangerous.

Fair warning, they may not be "dangerous", but from the tarantula breeders I've talked to, some can "pack a whallop" which to me means painful as all fuck.

Fair warning, they have the same problem as rats... They live just long enough for you to get really attached to them. Lifespans are about 1 year for males, and up to 3 for females.

But, if you like them, you can always get a tarantula, which can live much longer.
