I'd recommend getting fat instead. You can play it off like you're pregnant but, as long as you keep refreshing your friend groups every few months, don't have to worry about some whiny little shit popping out to hog the spotlight.

Going to shed some guilt over that last bit by stating that I absolutely adore my nieces and nephews (even when they are being whiny little shits). They can hog all the spotlight they want.

    No. Absolutely do NOT get pregnant for attention.

    That's what abortions are for.

    Get an abortion for attention? I think there's a prerequisite to that

    Being pregnant and having children can be very lonely, so no

    The sex will get you attention, not so much the pregnancy.

    But pregnant people are public property. At least people behave like they are

    i bet a lot of that would stop if said pregnant people open carry 18" machetes strapped to their thighs and fiddled with the handles a lot. i really wish it wouldn't have to come to that tho.

    This could never happen where I live, the government decided to spend 13 million dollars on 30 something machete bins so that everyone, apart from murderers who use machetes (who won’t actually care about the amnesty), will be made to surrender their machetes.

    i mean sharps containers are expensive tho. you wouldn't want someone to accidentally cut themselves collecting the machete surrender bin and get hantavirus

    I agree on that front, the engineering of these bins has gotta be a big factor in the cost, although there has been government and union corruption recently, which would've ballooned the cost a little, but I'm not sure by how much.

    what I don't understand however is why they chose to do a machete amnesty program rather than anything else, such as improving rehabilitative justice, and removing the endless crime loophole caused by bailouts (which tbf is being acted on currently,) for example.

    Edit: now that I think of it, its probably since the government might want free credit for "solving the crime epidemic", even though they're mostly half solutions

    Catch-22: attention is how you get pregnant in the first place.

    Depends... Pregnant by a horse? That will give you attention. Pregnant by a human male well...

    The thing is that in the long run, you have to give much more attention than you get so doing the math, I say no, but I'm not a mathematician to be honest

    i've read your previous posts so no, absolutely not

    if you want to alter your body or living situation for attention, have you tried voluntary incontinence?

    I disagree. Boy preggers is pretty rad.

    No, to get attention you should just ask aboooooh, I see what you did there.

    I think it's too common. Takes a bit of effort but I'm sure there is potential for some exciting lore development that will raise eyebrows in every casual conversation.

    Like do you think you could make yourself look pregnant with coke and mentos? No matter what the result is it would be interesting to hear that story.

    I don't normally support suicide for attention...

    Cheaper to just declare you're trans.
