I've never really felt the urge to have kids. Plus it saves on resources and finances. I have nephews and nieces already and that's good enough for me. I'm at the point where some of my friends are having kids. Others aren't. I love being an uncle.

In any case, it depends on how much you as an individual want to have kids. For me, it just didn't add up. My wife and I both don't want them. We both work and want to retire as early as possible.

ChillPenguin ,

Which is ridiculous in my opinion because the dude is such a big piece of shit. But I guess that explains why we're all in this position.

ChillPenguin ,

I could never figure out how to not get blown to smithereens by the SAM sites.

ChillPenguin ,

Holy shit thank you. I'm gonna go give it a try. Haha

Even when OceanGate decided to change the domes in the final design from carbon fiber to titanium, Rush didn’t commission models to test the interactions between the new materials; one former employee who was familiar with Rush’s decision says the CEO balked at the high price tag.

Bro, wtf. Then they also reused the same o rings from the first hull and ripped it off and moved it to the new hull. I'm surprised they didn't die sooner. Thing was a death trap.

ChillPenguin ,

Go to the zoo. See some owls.

ChillPenguin ,

Pedo Matt Gaetz?

ChillPenguin ,

Stupid people gonna stupid, unfortunately.

ChillPenguin ,

I just put in a garden with 4 8x4 beds. Sounds like I need another 4 beds. This shit is addicting.

ChillPenguin ,

I can't wait. I've been starting to look into canning and pickling. Because why not?

ChillPenguin ,

It was actually antifa who said that, impersonating MAGA. /s

ChillPenguin ,

I laughed when noem brought up Obama and Hillary.
I wish the host interrupted more, because half of what Noem was saying was straight lies.

State Department official resigns after Biden administration says Israel not blocking Gaza aid ( www.middleeasteye.net )

A career State Department official resigned from her post on Tuesday, saying she could no longer work for the Biden administration after it released a report concluding that Israel was not preventing the flow of aid to Gaza....

ChillPenguin ,

Biden, what the fuck are you doing!? Can you do the right thing when it comes to genocide, please? Just hand the election over to trump on a silver platter. How hard is it to... not support genocide? Wtf

ChillPenguin ,

And rottensausage? 2v2, gonna be a fair fight.

ChillPenguin ,

That isn't really an effective strategy to convince someone to vote for someone else. That just pushes someone further entrenching them into their view.

If we want anyone and everyone left of center to vote for Biden even though he's fucking up Gaza. We're going to have to convince them.
Having that type of attitude only hurts us in the long run.

ChillPenguin ,

I actually don't love violence anywhere. Outside or inside our borders. I've voted every election since I became eligible. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be enough.

ChillPenguin ,

The cancers like "oh fuck, we can't do anything to this guy"

ChillPenguin ,

But I'm Minnesotan. I can blend in really well.

ChillPenguin ,

I wasn't a believer when I started at an ESOP. But looking at my retirement funds after working for 8 years at the company. Then comparing it to friends who were given shares of large public companies and making maybe like 10k over 4 years. Absolutely worth it.

ChillPenguin ,

The bar is really really low

ChillPenguin ,

Because if we're in the streets, we aren't working. Which means we die because there's zero social safety net.

ChillPenguin ,

At press time, reports confirmed the baby’s 17 days of serenity had been cut short after the walls and roof of her incubator had been sold as ad space.

Honestly, the onion is just too good. Pure gold.

ChillPenguin ,

That pulling levers in the basement furnace room wouldn't blow the house up. It wasn't until my 20s when it randomly popped into my head and I thought about it with my adult brain and was like "wait... Why would someone install something that would blow the house up?"

ChillPenguin ,

What is this? Stilts for ants?

ChillPenguin ,

We have every right to be pissed off. I followed every rule you're supposed to follow. And I'm still worried about retiring in the future. The system is fucking stupid. At my job, every system I implement or touch can be changed. Change is a part of life. But for some fucking reason, this country can't change shit. We just sit in it as everything gets worse while everyone who is struggling continues to struggle even more. The rich get richer. America blows.

ChillPenguin ,

I've voted in every local and national election as soon as I turned 18. Protested in George Floyd protests. I'm 30 now. Shit takes way too long.

ChillPenguin ,

Yeah but it's much easier and simpler to just blame Biden. /s

ChillPenguin ,

So basically anything that affects regular people in the US has gone to shit.

ChillPenguin ,

This is the way.

ChillPenguin ,

Nothing, it's a cute name. Don't listen to the other guy.

ChillPenguin ,

Except you're a slave in the capitalistic machine like the rest of us so fuck you. /s

ChillPenguin ,

I have 3 monitors. One I use for email/slack. The others I use for database and backend coding and VMs. I honestly the 3rd monitor is great. Aside from email and slack. I can use it for any additional documentation, requirements, or JIRA.
Honestly, 3 monitors is the way to go in my opinion.

ChillPenguin ,

You mean the toxicity of the people at church are pushing out the normal people? No way, I can't believe it.

ChillPenguin ,

I can only hope. I'm rather nervous about the election. Since his entire voter base in a cult. And the other side has their eyes on what's going on in Gaza.

ChillPenguin ,

Kurzgesagt did a really well done video on this. And the soundtrack is amazing too.

ChillPenguin ,

400 mbps down / 20 up @ $60
But you know Comcast. They try to raise it every year.

ChillPenguin ,

First thing.... What is plastic?

ChillPenguin ,

I would definitely want someone as president who I could at least vote and make my voice heard of my criticisms. Withholding your vote or voting for trump is a guarantee that the president will not give a shit about anything I care about. Including the Palestinian genocide.

So on one hand, a vote for Biden, I can at least voice my criticisms to my state and federal representatives. I can be pissed about genocide and try do... literally anything I can. Whether or not it brings any action is another story.
On the other hand, trump will fuck absolutely everything. And provide the same, if not more support to genocide.

ChillPenguin ,

Ah, so I watched the video. He got upset because he was getting pressed against his beliefs. So he said something to try and trigger them. Although, I totally believe he meant it too.
Who the hell are these lizard people. Stop voting for lizard people ffs.

ChillPenguin ,

This gave me a good chuckle. Every community promoting Linux.

ChillPenguin ,

The meme that keeps on giving.

ChillPenguin ,

Who wasn't laughing? It was hilarious. Jon Stewart's points were spot on all around.

ChillPenguin ,

Smh the paparazzi are ruthless these days. How did they even get this photo?

ChillPenguin ,

Imagine just being able to not do your jobs and still get all the benefits of being a politician. Must be fucking nice.

ChillPenguin ,

I would gladly watch all of our politicians get charged with war crimes. I can only dream.

ChillPenguin ,

Well, looks like I'm visiting the raptor center this weekend.

ChillPenguin ,

Ah yes, that's the problem.

ChillPenguin ,

Gotta keep that war machine churning, you know? How long has it been since our last major conflict? 3 years since we left Iraq?
Think of the shareholders for all of those defense companies!
