That oatmeal pic is myopic as hell. Could just as easily post one about a nag, damaged goods, trust issues, gold digger, etc. and based upon that, be celibate and live in the wilderness like a wild man. Kids are only as demonic as you raise them to be.
That's the way you read it.
It is not about finding the one right way to live and saying that celibacy is the only good option. It is precisely satire on the social pressure to have kids as if it's the only way to fulfill oneself. It's just not true.
If you're happy with your life, that's fine. Just don't question all the decisions that others make that do not fit your own agenda. The comic is about social pressure and the normative lies of society.
Yall are like the opposite of me. My wife and I didn't live together before we got married. We had a honeymoon baby.
I will agree though if you are not dating your best friend, GTF0 because it won't get better. But again I come at this from a different direction, that one shouldn't even bother with the dating game unless they're looking for wifey material. Life is too short for that money/timesink.

10 years in the game for me and no kids. Ain't about that life just yet. Shit at one point she was on BC and I still wrapped up. I got friends on they second or even third kid and they are all around my age. Goal is to wait until 30 to start all that.

My brother says the same thing (about having kids after 30). I don't believe him.

My wife is allergic to intravenous birth control. When we tried Depo, she basically was on cycle for the entire three months. Cramps, bleeding, the whole nine. If we actually had sex, she would break out in convulsions. I actually had to carry her to and from the bathtub at times. Tried the IUD and she got SAD (seasonal affective disorder) and other hormonal problems. The pill gave her migranes. We collectively refused condoms. WTF is the point of waiting to get married to have sex if we're just gonna use condoms like errbody else? We tried spermicide but that ish would get down my urethra and burned like hell. Once, I pulled out and my wife said I needed to use another spermicide pill, but I didn't and that was kid #3. After that, she got a tubal ligation, underwent a sort of depression because she felt "broken," and a few months afterward began to explore sex-for-pleasure more intensively (than sex-with-the-possibility-of-reproduction).

Yep. Shit happens. As someone who has a kid and is coming out of a divorce and knows FIRSTHAND how kids can change a relationsihp drastically, I'm not taking any chances!!! I'm enjoying my life, enjoying my relationship, and am in NO hurry to start having more kids. All precautions on the table.
My brother says the same thing (about having kids after 30). I don't believe him.Why didn't you just get a vasectomy? Feels like your wife went through hell when the easier option would've been for you to get snipped -- and it's reversible.

Sounds terrible. I'm not a fan of BC and what it does to a woman's body along with the potential effects. I've let her know that plenty of times but she still rolls with it.
I draw the line at that shit that goes in your arm or whatever. Weirds me out.

Shit happens like condoms breaking and birthcontrol not being taken. So yea, shit happens. If you want to depend on pulling out, welp... we know there's already one DY junior in the world you're ignorin...
Get a vasectomy dudes. Don't let that be your only form of birth control, but it won't rely on you to put on a rubber or swallow a damn pill. Chances are it'll be the only BC you'll need.
i refuse to believe you've been in atlanta for how many months now and never heard one of the many jokes based on 'weak pull out game' :lol:lol @ shit happens

but i'm paranoid. if a condom breaks, i'm stopping mid-stroke to get on all fours and suck that demon out myself. after getting head - i'll watch to see if a girl swallows and if she spits, i make sure that spit is properly disposed of like the hazardous material it is.
only reason i can be as happily fuckless with my money and ambitions is because i have no obligations other than the ones to myself. i work hard to keep things like this and have been actively doing so since i was about 16. so when people tell me 'you never know what can happen :3' and they're referring to things can go down as result of a person clearly acting without regard for the possible consequences of said actions i have to laugh
you know what can happen. you just don't care as much as others. 'you never know what can happen' is a mindset that says i'm relaxed enough that i can deal with something unplanned (whether you actually can or can't)
i know what can happen. fuck all of that :lol:
Life sucks. My mother and sister aren't speaking to me. I won't see my son for another month because classes are super front loading. 15 weeks left and my college career is over.

Got lucky and found a girl who doesn't want kids as much as me.
As we've gotten older and the two of us changed from 16 year old kids to 25 year old kids, we've gotten more compatible. Similar spot mentally as Smokey, any ceremony will be for her family and since we're living together now, marriage will most likely only be a title change and not much else. I figure if I ever father a kid, he/she will be adopted. But that'll be 5-10 years down the line at least.

That moment where your supervisor/boss basically tells you you ain't shit… :?
Fuck that moment
Try having a Japanese boss. Them destroying your soul any time you step out of line is part of the business culture. I've been humiliated in front of students, customers, co-workers...dudes doing stuff that would get them hauled in front of HR in a second in the West. Never working in the business world there again, nope.

One of my adopted sisters (I have three of them) showed up asking for money after not being around for like 15 years and some change. She has a 9 year old son that looks beat up and dirty. I had a talk with him and he asked if "I choke my son like his mom chokes him." I called the cops right then and there. Of course he has autism so his mother played it off that he was just kidding and says mean things. Then my adopted sister tells my sister's ex-husband that she needs tables and chairs for her new apartment. My father and I are right next to them when this happens. The next day my other sister calls saying that her ex-husband tried to sleep with my adopted crazy sister. Which is bullshit because the guy has standards and would not fuck her fat ass. Now the guy (ex-bro in law) is like "WTF? My cousin was with me." We asked his cousin and she said that they dropped off the tables and left. My other sister being crazy didn't believe that. So her and my mother started shit because I took up for him and aired some shit out about my adopted sister to our family then the other two sisters spilled the beans about some shit she did. Of course my mother and sister don't believe us. They think we are just protecting my sister's ex.
We in reality we don't want the crazy bitch around. Her real sister (who is one of the three adopted sisters) came to our house when she found out she was back and went off on her. Told her she wasn't allowed there. Of course my parents being good Christians helped her out. Now money is missing from my parents house and the crazy sister magically "found" an extra key to the house. I told my sister and mom that I was right about everything and when they are ready to apologize they can go get on their knees to pray to a mythological being because "god" is more likely to forgive them before I do.
sounds like you were doing good to not cut them off before now :/

I'm now officially tired of my dad's irrational behavior and I put up with it for a very long time and just ignored it because it was easy, but after today I just don't know how to handle him anymore.
He's just a very abrasive man that is prone to complete overreaction and getting angry before thinking things through rationally, and I'm just ... about it. Long story short, given what transpired last Saturday and today, I just can't handle him anymore. I started writing out everything that went on but it got so long and wordy that I just got down on myself while writing it, so I'm keeping it to this much and very vague. And after dealing with it for my entire life I just don't know where this will end up. He basically treats me like the black sheep of the family and like a fuck-up, and I never see the same behavior out of him with other people in the family (well, except he treats my mom the same way, mostly over me). For example, he's bailed out his nephew (in his late 40s now) time and time again when he gambled away his money (tens of thousands of worth) or did something stupid and still defends him.
I've never approached that level of fuckery -- not even close -- and I will get treated like an absolute turd over stuff that any rational being would look at as not even being an issue, like for example that he's helping me pay off my student loans. Well, was. Not anymore, and as of next month I am taking over $550 per month in payments I don't think I really have at the moment, but I am supremely tired of it and cutting the proverbial chord.

this may just be me, but i've slowly started to essentially pay people to get out of my life
maybe i'm getting old or something
also... i'm more upset parting with my knives than i am about parting with my cat :((((

Get a vasectomy dudes. Don't let that be your only form of birth control, but it won't rely on you to put on a rubber or swallow a damn pill. Chances are it'll be the only BC you'll need.
I don't even neuter my dogs. I'm definitely not going to neuter myself. I'd feel less masculine.
My wife wants me to get a vasectomy for solidarity purposes, but I'm like what's the point? You're already fixed.
-Edit: It appears that I have dodged a lot of family drama by my family not really being that close.

The best way to deal with an emotion-driven person is to stay calm and get hyper-rational, and stay there no matter how much shit they fling at you. It completely unnerves them and they'll start to feel silly as long as you can keep returning logical (and correct) answers. A part of their brain will know they're the ones not acting properly. But I know parents have a way of getting under your skin that makes that tough to do, and they don't like to relinquish control to their child.

Are you with Sallie Mae or private loans? If government, definitely try to sign up for the income based repayment plan. It will surely save you tons in the short term, though if you're trying to pay off the loans ASAP then obviously it won't help.
sounds like you were doing good to not cut them off before now :/The only people I really love in my family are my Dad, my real sister, and my son. Once my dad is gone I won't have any reason to visit the rest of my family.

It is Sallie Mae but the loans are in my dad's name. It's not about the money, he makes too much for it to be an issue. It's something to hold over me and use as a "look what I've done and you're screwing me over", which, again, he only treats me that way.

Meeting with a minor third-party house of representatives candidate this week to try to convince him to campaign about the need to pass a carbon tax to mitigate climate change.
He has zero chance of winning, but might as well get some campaign debate going with regards to our proposal right?

Not commenting on carbon tax per se, but progressive militancy has very little place in establishment politics anyway. Mainstream parties will change their stance following a vast movement from the people on an issue.

Short story I met 7 chicks at the Library Bar in DTLA. My friends left me so they could go back to seven grand. I convinced the 7 chicks to go there with me. On the way to the bar I started talking to two of them. We get to the bar. They're inviting me to their hotel room. Bar closes. I'm about to get into their Uber ride when my friends drag me with them because our friend got sick. So I'm talking to one of the chicks today and she said her and the married chick in the group wanted to fuck me last night.

You fell for the "bros before hos" fallacy. Your friends, PLURAL, could have handled that situation.
At a wedding this past weekend wife ended up talking to the wife of one of the groomsmen. They all went to school or whatever.
They are moving to Hawaii in Oct. Since we've been throwing it around they got to talking. Apparently unless you have a Hawaii address and phone number employers won't take you serious. So we talked about that and if/when the time comes they will let us use their address when job searching. If we visit again they offered to let us stay with them . That is actually really helpful because fuck the hotel prices over there.
My research into this has said this is really a thing over there so that could end up being a big help. Guess the employers get hit with a ton of spam applications or resumes.

Prob not spam applications, but applications from ppl who are trying to GTF0 from where they live because Hawaii is a "permanent vacation paradise" in most people's minds.
I know a girl who was born and raised in nowhere-Michigan where winter lasts for seven months and she just moved to Hawaii because her BF is stationed there. Well it's a longer story than that (her baby daddy wanted to be removed from the birth certificate because he wants no part of his daughter's life; dude from HS who always was crushing to the rescue!), but yea, it was hard for her to even get a job in fast food there and she was a supervisor here.

Best case scenario for me would be to relocate to Hawaii but be able and be able to work remotely for a company that is here. Before I can even make moves like that I need to stay at my current company for at least 1.5 more years for benefits purposes.
So there is this long roadmap that I have mapped out. Ill also need time to save a legit amount of emergency/backup money for that kind of move. I dont see it happening anytime soon, but laying ground work in case it does.
damn smokey
hawaii got you so geeked that you can't imagine life without it huh
If you've seen what I've seen you'd be geeked too
Only thing I'm trying to do is make it happen in my late 20s early 30s vs being 60+ years old

Let's all move to Hawaii together and watch basketball games at 1pm every day.
If I could I would. But there's fuck all chance of me and the soon to be wife getting a green card or whatever we'd need to stay, or decent employment there, and US health care is fucking terrible.
There's chances of getting work in Sweden or Japan because of her job with relocation costs covered. Just losing patience with Sydney.
