You make some really weird assumptions.

Honey, you do not know me.

So what you’re saying is no more football and no more driving?

Honestly I think it’s reasonable for parents to discourage their kids from doing drugs to protect them from harm, which is their job. But that same logic extended to adults doesn’t track.

A discord alternative with functional voice chat and video streaming would be nice, but it’s sort of an AIM in the 90s situation. If the people you want to talk to are using the platform as their primary means of communication, it’s still kind of necessary. An alternative wouldn’t just have to be close to discord, it would have to actually be better so people use it.

If telling himself he was going to be productive made him happy, that’s quite possibly better than actually being productive.

My actions? I’m literally not having children.

You’re so busy trying to say anything you can to get at anyone around you that you’re not even paying attention.

I get it. The world is a bit of a mess and it’s disheartening. But making everyone your enemy doesn’t make you part of the solution.

What you’re doing doesn’t affect any of that, honey.

Being a jerk for fun and patting yourself on the back about it isn’t activism. It doesn’t help.

You literally are just enjoying being toxic.

Where’s the “play weird football” or “make friends with a satellite” option? 🛰️

There’s a huge difference between talking about antinatalism and attacking people for fun on the internet. What you’re doing isn’t intellectual or altruistic, it’s just another flavor of narcissism and bile.

I’m not planning on having kids, but personally it seems like being a human under bad conditions is still better than being nearly any other animal on the planet under normal conditions. I do get the argument for not reproducing to avoid your kids having to go through a worsening environment, but it’s kind of silly to try to push that perspective on others as some kind of moral issue.

Like, what good does it do to just spew venom about people wanting children? Save that for the ultra rich who already used their entire year’s allotment of sustainable carbon footprint 10 days in. Save it for the literal fascists who are actively working to prevent anyone from doing anything to slow it down.

Ultimately this planet will eventually be consumed by the sun no matter what we do. There’s no need to be a jerk about it to people who have no control over how long it all lasts in the mean time.

Is Grafo an asshole now?

It makes me wonder about cats wanting to go out and then immediately wanting to go in.

Like, if you’re a relatively small animal, it can be dangerous outside. There are predators, and you have to watch your back. I can imagine it being somewhat stressful to have to wait for a human to let you back in, rather than having immediate access to the safety of the house.
