  • Child here that moved out at 18 and now a parent to 3.

    I hear you, and I know the status quo is changing but fuck me I want my kids out at 18. I lived in shitty roach infested places in horrible neighbourhoods. I’ve wondered how I would have money for food let alone rent. That’s life. That’s growing. I want them to experience that because without the bad times you don’t learn to appreciate the good ones.

    I know I’m alone in this sentiment I don’t care. I will always be there for my kids in true times of need and I know the world now isn’t the world of 30 years ago but fuck it. Survive or Thrive.




  • Compulsory “If you’ve been paying attention we have known about this and every other catastrophic event since at least the 1970’s. We aren’t listening to the right people.”

    Millions if not billions of people are going to be severely at risk and even die. The vast majority of these people will be brown or black. The majority of these people will be children.

    We as a species should be ashamed putting the well being of a small few over the majority.

    The optimism is we will science our way out of this. Humanity is like a monkeys paw.

    So I guess what I’m saying is on the individual level everyone open their eyes don’t be a dick and leave the world better than you came into it. Beyond that, sit back and enjoy the show no one really knows what they’re doing but the majority of us are doing our best.

    Speaking as a Canadian and repeating a comment from a few days ago that was in a different context.

    If Trump/US invaded Greenland.

    Pollievre (leader of Conservative party) - “yes Daddy invade them!”

    Carney (leader of Liberal party & Canadian Government currently) - “Canada is alarmed by these actions and will continue to work collaboratively with its international partners to find a solution.”

    We all know the Liberal response is the better one but it still means absolutely jack shit.
