My main concern about having kids is the child's quality of life,and I'm not just speaking about finances. Every child deserves a parent who not only truly wants them,but will do their absolute best in raising them. I'm just not that person

There is no reason to have a child lately. You can't be living in a world you hate and bring someone you love to that world.

How is it selfish to say "I would rather regret not having something I would have liked than risk putting a human being, that is dependant on me and automatically loves me, into a situation where they may realize I wish they weren't in my life"? Seems more selfless to me.

Parenting is the result of the choice that was made. It’s actually a duty to be the best parent you can, because the child had no say in the matter. Still curious to know what’s a non selfish reason tho

Multiple things can be true at once. I never said they were an inconvenience, just that being a good parent doesn’t make someone selfless. Not sure how being aware of that is lazy and selfish

No matter how careful (and vaccinated) you are, it seems, both rhythm and COVID are gonna get you. (Likely just in time to push back long-awaited medical procedures.)

I'm tired of rich white men giving inordinate amounts of money to other white men who they "see themselves in" to basically fuck around and fail repeatedly, and then proceed to overindex them massively through knock-on effects.

The other day someone claimed a hostname on a domain I own and it took me a while to track down how. After a lot of digging around, trying to figure out how the hijack was accomplished, it turns out it was via GitHub Pages.

Yes the specific issue of controlling every aspect of women’s lives so women get the message that they are second class citizens.

I will break this "dress code for girls" in every single technical talk I give. I will try to break as many points as possible. I will not address it onstage. And maybe the audience will internalize the message that femmes get to have bodies, even in intellectual contexts.

This is an example of the fragility of men. Women must dress “modestly” as not to arouse men during serious study. We tell girls their bodies should be covered & don’t teach boys 2B better. Obviously we need *some* boundaries but the onus of dress codes shouldn’t be on girls

They arrested the developer of tornado cash. 🚨 I repeat: a man was arrested for writing code that served as a public good for people to maintain their privacy online. They put a man in jail because bad people used his open source code. This cannot stand in any free society.

Is the NHS failing you? In July, a record number of A&E patients waited more than 12 hours to be admitted. Response times for ambulances dealing with the most urgent cases were also longer than the target time. Is the service broken and beyond repair? #JeremyVine
