Seriously almost all of my friends have kids now and no one has time to hang out anymore. This is bullshit and must stop!

I hate people that complain all the time but never offer any solutions. How exactly am I (a sex haver) supposed to stop having kids?

Edit: Are you looking for friends?

Vasectomy works. Or tubal ligation. Whichever is appropriate. Seriously, who would willingly bring a kid into this soon to be uninhabitable world?

Anti-natalism is cringe.

My parents were born during the Great Chinese Famine and lived through the Cultural Revolution. Their parents were born during the Chinese Civil War and lived through fighting the Japanese and the KMT. All of these world shattering events and never once did any of them regret living.

Denial is, well, denial.

None of those events produced the methane rich superheated atmosphere that runaway global warming is bringing us, which is ACTUALLY going to be "world-shattering". Feedback loops don't end until equilibrium is reached, the earth has seen it before, we are seeing it now. Ignoring it isn't going to make it go away.

Just make a commune where everyone helps take care of each others kids and life is easier.

That’s basically what it’s like in my town because of how large the traditional indigenous population is. Only real downside is that you never get a moment of peace because they view you as an accessible family member and will walk into your house without asking all the time.

As a maximally alienated white person with no family and few something social relations that sounds pretty nice.
