I always feel a little better about myself when I see boring people out doing boring, mundane bullshit with their dumb, boring kids. For all the mistakes I’ve made in my short life, I’ve never made the mistake of ruining my life by having a kid, and that makes me feel kind of good.

Doing boring shit with a boring family sounds pretty fab to me.

I imagine children can bring all kinds of joy. Having people you are close to and care about to do things, even if only staring at a wall together, is better than doing it alone.

Well why is what you’re doing instead better?

My short time as a step dad was the happiest time of my life, even if not nearly close to the most carefree time. God I miss having a family.

Anyone can start a family. It takes a special talent to be an edgelord.

I’m not an edgelord. I’m pretty genuine in what I say.

Unfortunately, yes, almost anyone can start a family. That’s why there are so many shitty parents.

Because I can do what I want when I want and it’s all mine.

I kind of get this, but I don’t think that’s always the case. There’s a lot of things I’d much rather do alone than with anyone else, but especially not with a screaming or jabbering kid.

My job this summer, as in many summers past, is to teach little kids how to swim. It’s very effective birth control. Not that I need that, but all of my coworkers have a similar antipathy toward the idea of ever raising any.

Not really. I like voicing my thoughts on things.

That assumes said kid is constantly (or even frequently) screaming of jabbering.

Had never heard the term edgelord.

What a dumb term.

It’s a dumb term, but in being dumb, it is rather fitting.
