Hope you chose the "rich parents" background or you're gonna struggle the entire game.

    Also, you should’ve already bought a house about 35 years ago. If you didn’t, that is a personal failing on your part.

    True. You should have invested 69 years ago too. Such a looser

    Yeah I feel sorry for anyone who will be alive in 50 years. There is a pretty good chance there will be a global famine due to ecological collapse of the world's oceans that wipes out hundreds of millions of people if not billions.

    It's too late to save the whales and the fish.

    Nope. There is nothing we can do to stop the inevitable collapse of vertibrate life in the ocean. This type of extinction event has happened at least two other times in the past. It's not a matter of if at this point, but when. It could be 50-150 years.

    It's going to get very bad before humanity wakes up.

    The 3D printed ghost gun stuck up my ass:

    Only the frame is polymer. The frame is the only part that's considered a "gun". You buy a parts kit, which is unregulated, and assemble the parts onto the printed frame. So the bolt, barrel, and everything else is made out of whatever normally comes with that gun. A fully plastic firearm that can fire multiple rounds without destroying itself hasn't been developed yet.

    Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies - "God damn it, you've got to be kind."

    Go with point array for your stats. It may not have the chance of getting really good rolls, but it also avoids the chance of ending up with your highest stat being 11, changing your name to cliff, and starting over from scratch.

    They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
    They may not mean to, but they do.
    They fill you with the faults they had
    And add some extra, just for you.

    But they were fucked up in their turn
    By fools in old-style hats and coats,
    Who half the time were soppy-stern
    And half at one another’s throats.

    Man hands on misery to man.
    It deepens like a coastal shelf.
    Get out as early as you can,
    And don’t have any kids yourself.

    - Philip Larkin

    Horrible text. Telling people to not have kids. Disgraceful, just offensive.

    If the first paragraph applies you just had bad parents or there is genuinely something wrong with the child themselves.

    Why is it disgraceful and offensive? I mean, you could argue it's disgraceful if said in a militant manner in an unprompted scenario, but in a general discussion or a debate, why is it considered disgraceful and offensive?

    The logic this author is using is "you will by definition traumatize your children, thus you shouldn't have children". Not only is this completely flawed logic, because even if it were true that by definition you will traumatize your children, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have children, but it also inherently says "you will traumatize your children". So they are basically telling you that you would be a bad parent. Isn't that offensive? I understand, every parent has flaws but that's not the same as "fucking up your children".

    Apart from that, the "disgrace" remark comes from the inherent malevolence of telling people to stop procreating. Telling people to grow old living miserable lonely lives without the innate happiness of having children and being a parent. Having your own children that look up to you and (unless you are indeed a bad parent or if there is something seriously wrong with the child) will love you almost unconditionally. There is no joy greater than having children. Telling people to not experience that joy is in my opinion disgraceful.

    I can understand the economic realities that sometimes prevent the opportunity of giving your children a happy life, but that's not what this author/person is talking about.

    Thank the heavens you weren’t “born yesterday…”

    Edit: keep that smile. It will serve you well to be so happy, and to have something to smile about like that.

    You are a good baby.

    Also don’t listen to Celine Dion, she don’t know babies like you know babies… she did them wrong.

    However, do listen to good babies. Don’t watch that show “Girls” on HBO unless it’s to observe someone being the opposite of a good person in general. Just don’t do what they do.

    Be concerned about the actions of adults. However, don’t worry about the whims of adults, or their specific adult worries; they don’t know babies shit like you know babies shit.

    Do, however, worry about everyone generally. Frankly they should worry about you too. That’s worth it and that’s okay.

    Just don’t stop smiling.

    Yes, I have a tip. Don't post pictures of your kids on social media. If they aren't 18, they can't consent to that. You're doing them a disservice by putting their likeness on corporate social media.
