I don't care about falling birth rates and I'm tired of the pushy attitude towards child free people

You know the quotes. "You'll change your mind when you get older." "You'll change your mind when you meet the right person." "You can't just allow the human race to die off!"

I. Don't. Give. A. Damn. I never wanted to have kids and I've been very vocal about it since being a teenager. Yes, I'll keep enjoying my free time and hobbies for the rest of my life. I'm married to an amazing woman now, almost thirty, and my opinion still remains unchanged. My wife doesn't want to have kids either so it's not like I'm holding anyone back. Both of us made peace with it and our decision is final. But people still can't wrap their heads around it! No, I'm not giving my parents grandchildren. No, I don't care if the Muslims take over Europe because of our low birth rates. The Muslims I know are lovely people, so why should I mind it again? No, I'm not being selfish for making this choice and sticking with it. It's as much of a personal choice as deciding whether or not to have a car, which I don't have either. And finally, no, I'm not a burden on the social system. Because of not having kids, I don't get tax breaks, which means that I pay MORE in taxes than people who do have kids. Not less like some morons suggest.

It's not my responsibility to have a kid and it's not my responsibility to do anything at all about falling birth rates. When people tell me that it is, I simply tell them to have even more kids if they care so much. I don't and that's okay. The way we see it with my wife, our lives are our own and we get to live them however we choose to. Because that's the time that belongs to us. When we're dead and gone, that's the time we're already not entitled to, so the world can go on however it pleases. Whether that be with a lot of people or not that many of them, I do not care at all. And to those who tell me that I must hate children? My brothers in existence, I'm a teacher, I do more for the future of our children than the parents who just stick a tablet into their hands. Fuck. Directly. Off.

Signed, a dude just living his life. I love my family and they are wonderful people, but this bloodline dies with me. And I'm absolutely fine with it.

Can't find or afford the original set, so I built a Samurai Mech for Pixal out of spare pieces

It turned out bigger and better than expected! The legs are a bit flimsy, but at least the whole thing is super articulated and stable.

Návrh pro moderátory (pokud tu vůbec nějací jsou) - prosím, mažte low effort rakovina posty, nebo tenhle sub skončí jako český Facebook

Už mě fakt nebaví číst třicátý pátý post o tom, že je venku horko, že si někdo neumí najít kamarády, nebo má problém s rodiči. Kde byl kdo na obědě, jaký má názor na článek ze Seznamu, co se mu stalo po cestě do obchodu a jak vypadala pokladní. Reddit není facebook a není od toho, aby se tady vyblila jakákoliv random pičovina, která někoho zrovna napadla. Má to být diskuzní fórum kde se diskutuje, třeba o vývoji politiky, projektech co v Česku vznikají, o radách pro turisty, o tipech pro mladší co ještě neví jak dospělý život v Česku vypadá. O akcích, koncertech, věcech které jsou zajímavé pro více lidí než pro toho, kdo o tom zrovna postuje.

Subreddity ostatních zemí mají podstatně jinou úroveň než ten náš. Snad nejsme národ debilů, abychom tak navenek působili. Tady už je z toho absolutně nemoderovaný shitshow jako na nějakém dezo group chatu. Proč nezavést karma limit na postování? Nepovolovat postování účtům mladším než jeden měsíc? To jsou úplně základní věci, které můžou kvalitu místní komunity zvednout ze žalostné úrovně, na které se momentálně nachází.

Moderátoři buď neví co s tím nebo se jim nic dělat nechce, to se pak ale nedá divit, že se tady z toho stává digitální smetiště. Pokud se nic nezmění, tak tahle komunita buď umře, nebo jí plně převezmou příspěvky a postující na úrovni nedokončené základní školy.

Už se těším na odpovědi od absolventů VŠŽ, kteří nedají dohromady jednu souvislou větu bez gramatických chyb a deseti emoji.

It's insane to me how good customs are these days. I got this Possessed Lloyd/Morro for 7€ and he's honestly unrecognizable from my other legit figures.

The plastic quality feels on par with Lego and the print looks exactly the same as the official one. The Sword of Sanctuary with the printed guard was a nice bonus too!

Just bought the Source Dragon of Motion for €40

The wife even said it was okay and she doesn't mind. Viva la Vinted, I can't even express how happy I am right now

Managed to get this guy early!

I guess my local electronics shop didn't get the memo that these are not meant to come out until June 1st. Win for me either way!

P.S. - if you're a fan of Star Wars too, you do get an extra Darksaber piece here! The total number of Darksaber pieces in this set is 3.

Melted Mando Keychain + Spare pieces from the small speeder = great pre-Beskar Mando!

Was definitely worth the passion project, now I can finally add the older version to my Mando display collection!
