    I got fixed a couple months ago. Best decision ever.

    For nearly 40 years, I’ve been told the horrors of climate change. For nearly 40 years, I’ve watched climate change unravel. And now at nearly 40 years on this planet, I’ve reached a point where I am more concerned about immediate human activity affecting my life rather than the breakdown and collapse of our planet’s environment.

    At no point in my life has there ever been a desire to bring a new life into this horrifying existence.

    Now if only those weird and miserable old men would stop calling me selfish for not having children. Their obsession with my genitals makes me uncomfortable.

      oh i’m not sure if it means anything to you if i say it, but:

      i think you’re doing good for the environment. I’m not saying there’s too many people already (because there aren’t), but still, if there are fewer children being born, that will take off a significant pressure from the environment and that will affect everything positively. :)

      I’ve found it works pretty well to just beat em to it. “Man, I’d love to have a kid, but bringing a child into this dumpster fire on purpose just so I can have a ‘little bundle of joy’ would be so selfish. It’s just not fair to the kid, ya know?!”

      Worked on my parents at least, lol.
