Same reason Michael Jackson looked the way he did. Mental illness.

Funny part about mental illness is, comorbidities are the norm, so they likely have other "atypical" neurological traits, like sociopathy.

It really did shift pretty quickly there in the last few years. I got a permaban for saying it'd be great to be able to fly a drone around Russia from any remote spot in the world just to waste Russian soldier's ammunition (referred to as morons) when they try to shoot it down.

Russian bot or bootlicker reported it for violence, I appealed the temp ban and they doubled down with a permaban. This was in the "combat footage" sub - the fucking irony. Called it quits after that. Feels odd not using it at all after 15ish years of it being one of the most heavily used apps on my phone (rip RiF)

In the US, they'll likely get "51-50'd". Sent to a medical facility for a max observation hold of 72 hours or less if a doctor clears them to leave.

Everyone tells younger men the same thing it seems. I heard the same bullshit from the time I started talking about it (vasectomy) as a teen. 35 now and nothing has changed, living the dink life with my wife and it's great. Boomer parents aren't too thrilled with the idea of 0 grandkids between their two sons, but that's not my job.. Might have felt a little sorry for them if they didn't vote the way they do.. But it's those choices that have led us to an environment that makes it too difficult to even consider bringing kids into, and it seems it's only getting worse.

I share the sentiment and have always felt the same way since I started thinking about it (even as a kid myself). The idea of having kids never appealed to me, I don't like being around them, never have, still don't at 35. I have a handful of nephews/nieces from in-laws now and still don't enjoy hanging around them even for short bursts of time... I don't have the patience for the screaming, crying, breaking shit, tantrums, messes, etc.

It's a 24/7 job for at least the next 20 years if you go through with it. Also, it's expensive as fuck. I enjoy expendable income and free time.

Doesn't really change the fact that it's more about whose child it is getting killed. They don't care til it happens to them, the fucking GOP in a nutshell.. Even then, significant change for the better is a crapshoot at best.

Pretty wonderful. My wife and I went a couple years ago early in the season so we didn't get to see quite as spectacular of a setting, still really cool though.

It's not the number that matters, it's whose kids it is getting killed. If someone were to shoot up a school filled with politicians' kids you'll see some change rapidly.

LA definitely got the Portland treatment. Interesting when they claim violence when the only violence to be seen stems from the fucking police and ICE.
