As a dad weighing in, have kids if you want to. Don’t have kids if you don’t want to.
Children will change 100% of your life’s activities. I can’t think of any aspect of life that is not drastically changed by having kids.
It is the most consequential decision you’ll make. It is a lifelong labor of love. It’s not trivial.
“Jesus wants you to have kids.”
- Jesus didn’t even have kids
“Social security will go insolvent”
- Govt’s problem, not yours
“Your ancestors are counting on you”
- No they’re not. They’re dead.
“Bloodlines!”
- Only relevant if you are a monarch
All of these arguments are fake and dumb. Have kids if you want them, and don’t have kids if you don’t. You owe no one an explanation.
@JamesMac_Fit The "less balancing" part is exactly the one deficit the smith has vs a barbell. It's not just "balancing," it's engaging all of the muscles involved in stabilizing the weight. It's a GOOD thing to "balance" the weight.
That said, I train alone, so smith machine for me.
@coleslawless I used to have a theory that one wasn't an actual adult until they learned spatial awareness. And it was a solid theory. Until around 15ish years ago. Now it appears that most fully grown adults have no clue, either.
@FoodFreedomNH Unless there's a clear, obvious, safe break in traffic such that you can merge left. But most people don't seem to understand this, either.
@JeanGen09181213 We only saw a small slice, but I'm hoping we get to see other pantheons. I was absolutely not expecting Mongolian gods. Maybe we get some others as well. Would be cool.
