Hope the dopamine hit was worth lifetime of my suffering. Not that they care. Me being born had nothing to do with me or what I wanted. It was 100,000% all about them and what they wanted.

I guess they wanted someone to be exploited by employers and to pay monthly tribute to a landed lord. Mission fucking accomplished.

      I don’t understand how anyone could disagree. How is birthing a child morally permissible? They cannot consent. You’re (in most cases) guaranteeing them a life of toil and suffering in exchange for, possibly, a few fleeting moments of joy. It’s wrong to rape someone into pregnancy but it’s not wrong to rape someone into existence? Just don’t get the logic.

        The thing is, you want to stay alive. You just want someone to sort everything in your life so you can be happy and carefree, because you think it’s an option. For some people it surely is, but for most of us it isn’t. This gives us false hope.

        Life is all we have really, and when it’s time to die, we’ll wish we had more time. And even when life is unbearable, everyone would choose to continue living if they could just make the pain go away.

        So, in itself, life is a gift. It’s just our expectations that make life hard (unless you’re literally starving or being tortured/abused on daily basis). Maybe it’s just me coping, though. I understand where you’re coming from and I also found the op meme funny. We’ll get there eventually, friend.

        People had fewer existential crises when the wealth difference between your peasant ass and the literal king was less than the wealth difference between us today and Elon Musk.

        Only half kidding. There is no point, climate change is ending modern human civilization within 50 years anyway. That is not a joke or exaggeration or shitpost. That is hard science, the models just keep getting worse and worse.

        Welcome to the end of capitalism, and humanity with it. Love yourself a little before it all ends, fam. Buy that treat. None of this matters anyway.
