I dunno, can’t it still be a good thing to put this option into the zeitgeist, in an otherwise pro-natal by default society?
Even though I know that on an intellectual level having kids is a choice, it still feels like a big adulting checkbox. That feel may be biological, but it’s influenced by society too.
I’m so thankful the internet showed me how cute they are. The ones I’m familiar with are too small to see the facial features and proportions. But now that I know I think they’re super cute.
I don’t mind spiders at all but I can totally understand why people have arachnophobia. That’s why I find it hilarious that there’s this one species, a “jumping” species no less, that magically can flip from grotesque to cute.
Btw is $80 actually up from the oughts and 10s? I’ve had $80 as the price for the latest AAA game in my head forever and am continually surprised it hasn’t changed.
Ok that’s a solid rebuttal around the “is it normal” argument. I’m personally still of the mindset that it’s “normal but wrong”. I wish we’d stop using normal to mean “good” and stick with it meaning “popular”. Statistics!
Yeah that’s interesting. Though I do think the Bible is big enough and vague enough for either tribe to exploit. I’m convinced the Left could have sided with Jesus’s ways of life and been the Christian nation, while the right rejected it.
I didn’t realize there were pro-lifers that accepted “it’s not an abortion if the fetus wasn’t going to be viable”. You could pretty easily extend that to full term. Hell with medical debt, I don’t see how there’s much chance in a lot of cases even post partum.
You’ve got me thinking about how the distinction is what the incentive is. Still not black and white, but if you want to suffer because you have only personal enjoyment to gain and your needs are all met, that’s better than consenting to suffering to pay the bills.
A good read
