I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents.

“Nothing new under the sun” I suppose!

    Unclear. Maybe things are going to get better; it’s happened before right?

    It hasn’t been all bad news lately, too. If you’re not straight, cis, or from the the West, being a boomer wasn’t such a great deal.

      not what we’ve done to the ecosystem. we’re in entirely uncharted territory.

        That’s true, at least in our tenure as a species. We can project where it’s going pretty well, though, and assuming your kids aren’t in a Dhaka slum they’ll be 'ight, if deprived of the opportunity to ever see coral reefs and with higher bills and taxes to compensate for the weather.

          you’re an optimist.

          we’re all going to cook, it’s just a matter of how long it’ll take to catch up to you.

          we’re gonna cook because some fucks said “I don’t care, I want more money.”
