I hate when the internet eats a classic clip. Hopefully this tangentially related episode of Next Time on Lonny helps?

Mood. There was a time I was standing in line at the post office and some haggard looking mother was doing her best to calmly reign in her child who was busy running away from her, screeching and pulling over every display he could reach, and having zero regard for anyone else in the vicinity. I could see her exhaustion and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. I usually just grit my teeth and try to ignore it until I can escape, but this time I cut off the kids path when he got close, said “Stop” in the harshest tone I could muster, and ngl was pretty pleased with myself when he went crying to his mom. I did realize in that moment, tho, that I probably shouldn’t have kids.

It’s a great conversation starter

Hahaha, you can call me Weirdy. Unfortunately I am white as hell, but I am at least a woman which should piss off some people to see my uterus in office

Or better yet, buy from Punk with a Camera if you hate Amazon like I do. They have two versions. One like OP’s (Chaos Marine) or T45 Fallout Power Armor

Chaos: https://www.punkwithacamera.com/collections/band-apparel-shirt-sweaters-zip-ups-etc/products/chaos-marine-trans-people-existing-does-nothing-negative-to-your-life-you-cry-baby-bitch-40k-gutter-press

T45: https://www.punkwithacamera.com/products/fallout-t-45-trans-people-existing-does-nothing-negative-to-your-life-you-cry-baby-bitch-40k-gutter-press-1?variant=45783336747258

I feel that, not sending any shade your way. In fact, you’ve inspired me to buy this shirt c: I just make it a point to undermine Amazon every chance I get.

Fwiw, fuck Amazon, buy it from Punk with a Camera

I didn’t interpret their use of the word individualistic as an assertion that those who choose to be child-free are selfish. Selfish has a negative connotation to it that I don’t feel they were going for. I think they were just contrasting that while being a parent requires putting yourself aside and focusing on a different human, being child-free allows a person to focus on their individual goals, whims, what have you.

I also agree with you that there is nothing wrong with a person choosing not to have kids, and there’s a lot of reasons to pick from. For me, those are:

•I have never yearned for motherhood

•I find pregnancy impressive from a biological perspective but at the same time horrific and something I never want to go through

•I am prone to depression which makes it hard for me to care for myself on a consistent basis so I am not going to bring another life into this world only to be too swamped in self-loathing to take care of them

•I detest humanity, we have spent our entire existence as a species ravaging the earth as well as each other and I see no end to it. I hate that realistically I will have to watch people be cruel to each other for the rest of my life and have decided not to create another human who has to trudge through this hellscape which undoubtedly will only be worse off in their future

Have purchased from that shop, they’re legit

All came outta nowhere lightning fast and they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass

Ugly Americans. Older (2010-2012) animated comedy series from Comedy Central, follows a social worker based in a futuristic NYC where lots of aliens/monsters/animatonics/etc are now a part of society, his job is to help them with integration to the city, shenanigans ensue. It only got two seasons, aired while I was in high school and has a special place in my memories. Stumbled across it on Paramount+ and promptly binged it all.
