Demographic collapse. So hot right now. Surely the solution is to persecute more trans people.
Systemic issues can all be solved if we just band together and make a concerted effort to *checks notes* "own the woke".
I can never get a vasectomy, I just can't say what will happen in the future. Suppose there's' some sort of societal collapse, man becomes an endangered species, and I somehow end up captured by a tribe of busty amazonian women who want to use me as a breeder, just constant and frequent encounters with different women every night. However, they check to see if I'm still fertile and realize I had a vasectomy, then they kill me and eat me. I can't take that chance.
The Amazon is being burned and cleared to make room for cattle ranches, soy feed for raising farm animals elsewhere, wood, palm oil, and minerals. There is no need to be concerned about Amazonian women.
I assumed he meant women who had previously worked at Amazon
.... Keep going.
Death by snu-snu, Fry?
Got mine in June.
Was pretty scared going in but now I'm glad I did it. 0 kids, haven't ever wanted them. Lost a ltr because the woman I was seeing decided she did want kids after 5 years together (where we previously agreed we both did not want them).
After we split I got a little foot loose with dating and realized I should just make my decision to be childless my own and permanent, why risk it for myself or others.
About the same story for me, about a decade ago
It was also really nice for dating because it weeded out the women who were still on the fence, and let the other women know I wasn’t on the fence
I for one am looking forward to the snip! Why bring a kid into this world just to be a wage slave for some rich POS? My bloodline ends with me!
Oh this is a good idea for that insulting gift thread if you can get gift certificates.
Hah, that’s actually a great gift idea. I’ll get it for a former coworker. He has 7 kids on one salary.
It would have to be someone I really like. Mine was $700.
Sometimes it's worth that to stop someone reproducing.
Got my consultation the day after RBG died, and the actual procedure a few weeks after. I definitely got the timing right.
I read "climate abortion" policies.
I mean... that is what we're doing to it.
I got mine done almost two years ago. I think it will be two years in March. My partner and I are 100% sure we never want to do the pregnancy thing and are like 95-99% sure we don't want kids at all. If we ever change our minds on that front, there are orphanages full of kids of all ages just waiting for a loving home and I don't expect that will change any time soon in this cruel world so we've got plenty of time to have a family when we want one, and in the meantime, I don't want any accidents.
Plus, getting to rawdog my girl whenever I want is a huge bonus!
