This is one of the arguments I have around the decision to not have children of my own. The world is pretty fucked, do I really want to create someone who will not only have to endure the shit to come, but also will undoubtedly add to that shit?
The counter argument, of course, is to raise the child in such a way that they make the world a better place. Ultimately, though, the problem is too many humans- why add to that?
Being an uncle is great. You get all the fun of kids, and can give the bloody things back when they start screaming and shitting everywhere.
I'm a similar age, and similar point in life. I like kids, but I really don't want to have any of my own. I really enjoy being an uncle to many children, though- not related, just made it clear to my friends that I would love to keep my connection with them, and build a connection with their child.
People don't want to impose their child on others, but if you have a genuine conversation with them about being ok with kids, you'll get to see your friends more often, and if you're into it, they'll fucking live and appreciate the free babysitting.

This satellite was owned by Intelsat, a company created by John F. Kennedy, an American; built by Boeing, a company created by an American and currently run by an American; and launched by the European Space Agency, on a rocket built by a company from France, headed by a Frenchman.
I'm sure there's South Africans involved somewhere along the way, but I don't think the person you are spitting vitriol about had anything to do with this satellite.
Thousands of years in the future, our descendents will return to Earth, to visit museums of ancient culture, and marvel at the Tungsten Cube of Dickbutt.
Sounds like they had their scaler set up to squash everything. Not the best for content, but the best for accepting whatever people will throw at it. Can't say I'm a fan of not giving you all the pixels you paid for, though!
I miss AV sometimes.
Nice. It looks like your led has a little hat!
Did you manage to get Linux to output the native resolution of the screen?
I thought it had more of a 'doing your own thing' vibe to it. As in, you could use it to describe someone spending a vast amount of time perfecting an unusual skill.
I still don't understand what this means.
None!
There should be no guilty pleasures in music. Especially dating. It's much more attractive to have a wide range of tastes and be comfortable with what you like.
Because they want to sell more?
