    I love this.

    I think the way we do things these days deprives people of necessary practice. If we had more extended families, stronger social networks and so forth I don't think nearly as many people would find it a confounding mystery.

    Positive kid story:

    I was walking my dog with a friend and we encountered a 5 year old and her mom.

    She didn't know how to approach small dogs so I taught her! Kinda!

    (It was actually a chilling look into what the human animal is all about and reaffirmed my belief that we are just meat machines barely restraining ourselves from consuming everything around us).

    Speaking of kids earlier today I was in a waiting room and there was a kid running around and rolling in the bench and shit, I would be okay with this but the kid kept leaning with his ass on my general direction and his pants were low enough that I could see half his ass.

    His mom didn't do ANYTHING about this in any moment and I *almost* couldn't resist the urge to call the kid over and tell him to pull his pants up.

    Once in awhile, I'll walk into a Men's Room and I'll see a Dad and his little son peeing in urinals. The little son will have his pants down around his ankles. Way to go, Dad. You neglected to teach Jr. how to use a zipper.

    i like kids. they are frustrating sometimes but still little people. i think there is probably something not-great about a person's psyche if they hold real and meaningful hatred for kids (instead of shitty parents).

    This is pretty much my attitude. I have endless reams of sympathy for, for instance, people who feel pressured by parents or society to have kids, or people who don't feel entirely comfortable around kids because they don't know how to relate to them or worry they might drop the baby or whatever.

    But people who actually have real antipathy for children? I want to tell them to grow the fuck up, quit being an eminently worthless human being and act like the adult they claim so loudly to be.

    have you ever witnessed one of those childfree meetups? one of my exes identified that way but she was eminently normal! she just didn't want the responsibility of parenthood, and was uncomfortable with the expectation. so she took me to one of these meetups, right? and the first person i talk to is also normal! he lost his wife and now he has a girlfriend and he doesn't want to have kids, but she's trying to pressure him before he's too old.

    and then after that every other person i talked to was fucking crazy. kids were 'the demon spawn of breeders', 'cattle shits', etc

    it seriously sounded like a klan rally against kids

    right, exactly. that's the sort of shit I mean. I've met people like that and it's just - what the fuck? How does someone get to that point in life?

    Egypt. What are you doing.
    Egypt’s Islamist-dominated parliament is set to introduce a law allowing husbands to have sex with their dead wives up to six hours after death. Critics fear it highlights a trend of increasingly anti-female legislation since the Arab Spring.
    The “farewell Intercourse” bill was inspired by a Fatwa issued by a Moroccan cleric last year. Zamzami Abdul Bar said that since the two would meet in Heaven again anyway, death shouldn’t get in the way of one last post-mortem marital romp.

    I was reading something about um.. Iran?

    and how men there can get temporary marriages that last long enough for them to cheat on their wives

    and then they dissolve the temporary marriage after they are done fucking the other lady

    I want kids but a big part of that is the fantasy that they'll be basically like I was when I was kid: quiet, introverted, solitary, and polite.

    My parents were always kind of flummoxed that I didn't act more kid-like. They've told me many times over the years that I preferred the company of adults and acted like an adult most of the time.

    If I get a kid who actually acts like a kid I don't know what I'll do. Probably feed him lots of Xanax and Benadryl.

    well i mean, even if you prefer stalls... after enough ball games, restaurants, museums, concerts, etc. it's like, you'd think at least once you'd have to go and no stalls were open.

    The best movie going experience I can recall was when I went to see spider man 3 opening night at 3am, which was weird, because I do not often see movies that have an extra screening after the typical midnight opening. The crowd was quite raucous and probably the most enjoyable part of the whole thing.

    While I'm 100% against having kids myself, I'm only 90% against adopting - you can filter the obnoxious ones out.

    I just want them to sit quietly and color and maybe once every 20 minutes or so hold up the paper and say, "Look what I drew!" and then I'll say, "That's nice, Lillith. Here, I'll put it on the fridge for you." Then she'll smile and spend the next half-hour quietly coloring.

    I haven't used a urinal since I was 7.

    I don't like peeing next to people. Plus some really creepy people use bathrooms when I do. Like the kid my age who used the urinal next to me in a row of 20 that were empty.

    I grew up in the woods, so peeing on stuff was just how life was.

    They need urinals that look like they have trees inside.

    According to my mom I slept for like the first 4 months of my life.

    She used to put me on her belly so that at least on a subconscious level I knew I had a mother at all.

    When I got older I mostly just read books and played pc games.
