  • I'm not unaccomplished, by any means, but I genuinely felt like I wasted my life before having a kid. We had our first at 36 and we're about to start trying for a 2nd at 38.

    Which is to say, while it's hard, it's one of the only things worth doing in life. IMO, obviously.

    (For the record, in our 20s we were the "no thanks" crowd, I changed in my 30s and my wife took an extra 6 years to come around)

    Edit: lol love the downvotes for this benign comment. Lemmy is a dumpsterfire.

  • Lol I'm sure that will change your mind, and it won't devolve into me saying "people that vote for the GOP aren't a monolithic group of evil tyrants" and you saying "all right wingers are vermin that should be extinguished", I definitely haven't had that same conversation 10 times on lemmy

  • Lemmy users decry this while almost constantly demonizing all right-wingers as soulless racist misogynists. Anytime I suggest that right wingers might be more complex than a caricature of a 1960s villain, it goes over like a lead balloon.

    The rhetoric is exactly as divisive on both sides and leads directly to politicians feeling comfortable calling for a civil war. It all feeds into the frenzy.

  • So you think the implication of the original post was "everyone should be able to make disrespectful comments about people that almost die and it's ok"?

    Or is the implication "it's not ok for people to make disrespectful comments about people that almost die"?

    This isn't complicated, those are the only two interpretations of the original comment. Only one of them is a realistic interpretation, and it - along with a lot of comments in this thread - are overtly hypocritical.

    Don't think I'll win over you or the hypocrite-hivemind, and I don't particularly care. Later.
