I have a kid and it's great for me.

I respect people who don't have them or want them. The reason why people feel compassionate about having kids is that (for them) it is the GREATEST FUCKING THING ever.

So when nerds are excited about something they won't shut up? We'll instead of a gameshow, programming paradigm, current research, global event it is kids.

It's like sushi, great that there is infrastructure for those who want, great that you are enjoying it. It is not for me and that is fine.

Have your sushi.

    I'm a consummate nerd. We have a turn of phrase for the kind of person you're describing who constantly talks at people who don't share their interests, and cannot take a hint: we call them "insufferable assholes"^*^

    ^*unless they're neurodivergent and/or the thing they're talking about is actually critically important^
