Hi all,
As our community is still small and not overly active, I thought instead of trying to have a weekly or monthly chatter thread up as a sticky, we could try a perpetual one and see what happens.
So anything you feel doesn't warrant a post of its own, just put it here.
Cheers and take care!
I used to donate and wished I could have a bumper sticker, but they are on a hiatus. Last I heard the founder said the hatred recieved due to the organization was taking a toll. Anyone know anything? These folks planning to actually come back?
Nope. Nope nope nope. Not dealing with that, no thank you, not in this life or the next.
inb4 the influx of "not all parents are irresponsible/iT's JuSt ThE PoOrS" comments from the parents who will inevitably find this and feel compelled to preach -- we know. I'm sure you specifically are gold star parents who extensively thought about how you would give your kids good and stable lives before you had them. But there are millions of others who didn't and whose kids are growing up into terribly damaged and traumatized adults who may well perpetuate the cycle of generational trauma.
Came across this community in my feed, and after browsing a bit I'm intrigued.
As an "outsider", I would have assumed this place would be about enjoying a childfree lifestyle, but it seems to be more than that.
For example, I see lots of posts and comments that seem to allude to extinctionism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_Human_Extinction_Movement
That caught me off guard since I figured this place would be more like "look at all this free time and money and freedom I have to enjoy my life to the fullest in any way I want". Now I'm curious.
It seems like there's a whole spectrum of ideas that are getting lumped into the same bucket. What's your take? What brought you here?
