This post stated “…as depressed as me” that implies they are looking for kids to pull them out of some level of depression.
That’s a terrible strategy for everyone involved, but especially the kids. If this was your chosen depression coping strategy three times over, PLUS in the US, I guess good for you, but generally speaking it’s not supported by broad societal studies.
The article I chose was just a quick search, but there are quite a number of studies that support not using childbirth as a mental health coping mechanism.
You sound a bit defensive and passive aggressive to me. I hope you are truly, deeply fulfilled and are just having an off day.
Not really. Judge for yourself, and follow the legit studies. If you’re already happy, in a good relationship, and in a country (not the US) that heavily supports parenthood, and you’re the father, then at least you might break even.
(tl:dr) “Parents will always be quick to proclaim the gifts and blessings their children provide, but a more detached appraisal calls into question this conventional wisdom.”

Having kids will not help your happiness level…
Her response was pretty fearless. I hope he replied, “Atta girl!”
My hero!
Another thought this just popped into my head is that the next generation may not have been brought up with the same fundamental hacking skills that were somewhat inherent in being technical in the late 70s-mid 90s. Could you still learn them?…Of course, but having grown up with BBSs and LoD (Legion of Doom, and the like) and pre-WWW, some things were just more prevalent when it came to learning about the guts of systems and “cybersecurity” (that word didn’t really exist back then).
In this economy?!?! /s…kinda
Actually that makes sense, and saddens me a bit there wasn’t a contingent to pass the torch to.
What actually happened to them? Did key members get tracked down or something?
There’s a health insurance industry executive conference coming up and they just voted to hold it remotely rather than in-person (as it was supposed to be).
But if it’s a man-lovin’-lady bassist, do the flirting.
I live in Denver, so Red Rocks is practically in my back yard, and this book is sitting on the couch next to me. I went to college with Matt & Trey…seriously, I had tears of joy watching that.
ETA: I highly recommend this book if you like looking at pretty pictures of electric basses, but be warned…bass buying addiction may ensue…
I don’t need anything for Christmas. This has fulfilled me. Thank you so much!!!
This is so fucking amazing!!! I need to see if I can find a video!!!
As a bassist, I approve of this message.
Upright bass player…yep, not the traditional way to carry it, but damn has the head-balance come in handy a few times.
Is this just fantasy…?
Go read the news yourself then. It’s all out there. People have lost access to health benefits, water hygiene standards are being relaxed, critical cybersecurity initiatives are being cut, national parks will be less accessible to all (some of Colorado’s have already announced they’ll be closed two days a week), the impacts are both immediate and longer term, and far reaching. If you want to hear about immediate direct impact, a critical domestic violence center in Colorado that has been providing cross-departmental case management and victim advocacy since 2016 will likely have to shut down because its federal funding was cut by DOGE and victims are currently being turned away. The immediate, very real, impacts are EASY to discover with a minimal amount of research effort. The larger ones are just starting to make themselves known.
