I have no kids but I don’t have 3 money.
Turns out being the sort of person who -specifically- doesn’t want to deal with any of the responsibility even tangentially related to kids also isn’t well suited for the responsibilities of a regular 40hr/wk year round job… or being an independent adult at all really.
(It’s me and literally nobody else I’m speaking about above, just for the record)
“But just wait, try buying a house as a single working class person! Not fucking happening! Try again once you marry someone who also works 40 hours and you might have a chance! But you might need to rent out one of the bedrooms to some poor single sap! Hahaha!” - the system
Capitalism abhors a single man. I feel like my no kids and 3 money lifestyle is basically discriminated against nowadays.
That’s a stretch, and maybe true for you, but the world is full of people, such as you described, that haven’t got that issue. Not wanting kids doesn’t automatically make you bad with responsibilities.
It only makes you a person that doesn’t want kids.
Edit: I can’t read
Literally said in the comment you replied to that I was talking about myself and nobody else (and it was never edited) so not sure why you responded with this.
Apologies, I’m not sure how, but I never saw the last paragraph
Righteous indignationa fit of pique will do that, and I’ve been guilty in the past of the same.No worries. I’m not painting with a broad brush, I’m recognizing myself in a way the others relate to :)
Have a great morning/day/afternoon/evening/night, depending where you are :D
Edit - I didn’t realize that righteous indignation has a specific religious meaning. I was aiming for less religious and more just sort of …defending the downtrodden. Is there a better word for that?
Edit 2: I learned strikethrough for this edit and it worked!!
Try the phrase “a fit of pique.”
Yes that’s perfect, thank you for bringing my attention to that phrase.

because fuck you
It’s actually because drugs cost a lot
Legalized drugs are fairly cheap to produce, but taxation is the biggest part of the sake price
Imagine paying for health insurance. Might as well burn your money, at least you’d get some heat.
Or hope you get hired by a European based company that gives a little bit more of a shit about you
I had one of these and it ruined me. Everything else is shit now.
It’s weird when they respect basic human rights. Totally fucks your perspective XD
Applies the other way as well: A decade ago ended up not signing the contract after initially accepting the position at a major US chip makers EU office - with managers in the US - as it became clear during the process to get to that point there’ll be cultural compatibility issue for my spoiled EU citizen ass, even though the office was in the EU, and they’re forced to follow our labour laws.
Sounds like you haven’t invented Europe yet, even if you spring for a non-Eastern vareity it does make the price of dino juice, houses and cigarettes increase
Medicine
£110/year or so for unlimited medicine prescribed by a doctor
Health insurance
Who needs it
College
Usually free or at least heavily subsidised (even in places like the UK where you’re paying £10k/year the government also plays about £5k-40k towards it depending on what course etc.)
Biodome is pretty consistently available on free TV channels. So is Jury Duty and In The Army Now. But Son in Law is, like, super fucking rare for some reason.
Don’t trip, I got a streaming link for Son In Law right here. (But you might wanna install an adblocker first because DopeBox is annoying without one)
Bio-dome sold it.
