Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why are there so many adult children out there in the world?
1·21 hours agoGood point.
I should clarify cause Im kind of an idiot and what I wrote is wrong.
What I meant to say is that I feel that a person should be informally punished by for what WE KNOW THEY DID and IF IT WAS HEINOUS and IF THE FORMAL ‘JUSTICE SYSTEM’ (if you can even call it that nowadays) DOESNT PUNISH THEM.
Like we all know that casey anthony did it but she never confesse and made an attemot t make reparations for what she did . So do I see a problem with her being currently informallypunisished ? No.
Same can be said about trump or Anyone else in the Epstein Files. We know most of them are guilty as sin but will the formal ‘justice system’ punish Any of them?.. HA! only the ones who are too poor to bribe their way out of it. So these who will escape formal punishment have the thumbs up to receive any informal punishment that We The Workers see fit

childfree@lemmy.world•The latest salvo in the social media war on CF women
1·21 hours agoIts like there is a disdain of children and non- males in general.
Like look at what I mean, when a male with a penis is born theere are far too few laws that protect the bodily integrity kf that male and he can be butchered or ‘circumcised’ as soon as he comes out of the womb for no other reason other thsn srbitrary religious reasons or because the quack of a ‘doctor’ sees circumcision as befitting for that baby. That happend to me for no reason. The same can happen to females and non-binary people upon birth to as they receive their own forms of mutilation.
And then as you said there is a dearth of research being done on how to improve the safety and satisfaction of a person who has a uterus and the babies they give biirth to too and a dearth of research on what socialistic programs and aid should be provided for them to heathily and happily raise that child alone if they choose.

childfree@lemmy.world•The latest salvo in the social media war on CF women
1·21 hours ago“The female body is optimized for pregnancy and childbirth/pregnancy and childbirth does not damage your body in the slightest. You’re just scaremongering because you want to be irresponsible/be a slut/contribute to the extinction of the human race/be a rabid feminist lonely cat lady/<insert contrived excuse>” , Categorically false. In exchange for the ability to walk upright, evolution gave human female physiology only just enough capability to 3D print and deliver grossly underdeveloped offspring (mostly) alive, with little allowance for the toll it takes on the mother’s body.
Also about 30-60% of ALL conceotions will end in miscarriage. Miscarriage rate hovers at around 50% for most women who get pregnant and the odds increase the more a woman has miscarried before https://www.uclahealth.org/medical-services/obgyn/conditions-treated/recurrent-pregnancy-loss .The female human body is NOT optimized for conception.
(…This ALSO makes me wonnder about sperm cells from male humans. Like…what if there are sperm cells deliberately built by the testes so that they can make faux conceptions thst will more oft than not end in miscarriage and they were only kept in the male genome for evolutionary reasons that we havent been able to explain thoroughly. and deeply enough yet? DO we know this or not? )
And also the easiet argument against breeders who want people to have as msnyy children as possible is that all humans are entitled to their bodily autonkmy . If a man, woman, non-binary person or whoever chooses to not have any children cause they say iitll harm their bodily autonomy? Who are we to argue? Theyre a human adult. They are entitled to that body they were born with. The WHOLE of it. The entire body must be left intact as that human adult sees fit.
Thanks for this.

1·22 hours agoeven during near extinctiin events the humanv population rebounded up. Our ancestors were not supposed to survife the height of our current Ice Age…they did anyways! Like just imagine how demoralizing it must have bbeen to only see ice and snow all day , barely any sun or greenery and your diet consisted oof the same cold resistant animals and plants almost all day everyday…but our ancestors were STILL popping out babies like crazy back then.
If the population is decreased by a large enough event and the planet is still intact , anyone who sees humsn extinction as a possibility is deranged or way too young to be thinkinfg about that or both lol

childfree@lemmy.world•A really well thought out piece I found on Reddit
1·22 hours agothe end of capitalism is the end lf patriarchy. you will NEVER end one without ending the other. They have been in a disgusting lockstep since agricultural societies started springing up as they march in unison crushing quiet, peaceful, poor peoples and our communities and our collectivism and our commons.
If me having a vasectomy and choosing not to have children plays a part in the final defeat oof both patriarchy AND crapitalism? Im all for it. The patriarchs and capitalists have bludgeoned poor Black men like me for a millenium why should I give them anything in return? …Now that I think about it the Same xan be said about women and non-binary people who choose to take ahold of theiir reproductive rights too and have no children. You dont have to produce more slaves for all these slave-drivers and their puppeteered poo-liticians out here who enshitify anything for a paycheque.
Anither thing to note is the Epstein Files and what is occurring all oover the Global South today! There have been dozens of pedophilic governmental trafficking gangs just like all thois one through out hiistory and as long patriarchy and capitalism conntinue to exist? there will be anither dozen more. Why bring children into a world where our governments are literally committing military and police violence againt the poor well meaning worker, forcibly impoverishing mostt of us , AND those very children we born will be stolen from us and used for their sick games? The sense aint making sense here.
Bring The Collapse On! We’ve needed it for millenias at this point!
Sorry for any pain youve been through as a woman though.

1·1 day agoAlso something that embitters me about society js that we as people have such an easy time treating someone like a monster and eveb turning them into a monster…
But then when this hurt person wants to find resourfes and people to deal with their trauma , trauma that theyve recently have realized has broken them thoroughly and makes them think in awful ways, such as a community or a ‘tribe’ of their own to get connected to , very cheeap publicly funded mental health interventions and medications we typicaally dont have those things for that person or each of those rhings is available in varying amounts for different people.
Humans NEED community. Humans NEED physical affection. Humans NEED appreciation. Humans NEED occasional vulnerableness. Humans sometimes NEED mental health care. Humans NEED a lot of things that many of our current societies says that a person should feel guilty that they need these things. What I mean is I find it oodd that many humans are treated in inhuman ways but then mostt people in society act surprised when that bullied or impoverished or ostracized person in psrticular acts in inhuman ways. We are not allowed to create a monster then be surprised that we have created a monster…
But then my question becomes why do most adults just accept this modern sick society that creates monsters and acts surprised when these same harmed people act out in monstrous ways? Where have been the mass rebellions for change that most adults should be partaking in if they want to see permanent positive changes?
“It is no measure of ‘health’ to be seen as ‘healthy’ in societies that are so profoundly sick” -Kishnamurti
Im very sorry for your pain. If itll help I dont think youre as sick as those who treated you in disgusting ways thought. I dont think youre a monster all because you desire what humans need which is community.

2·19 hours agowell you could be right but I feel like my outlook on adulthood cant really be compared to any others right now since I dont have a ton of experience on what a healthy adulthood oughta look like. Im only 30. When Im 55 or 75 I think Il bee far more qualified to speak on what a healthy adulthood looks like.
Im not putting you on the spot of anything but do you have anythings to recommend that I can compare my outlook on adulthood to to others’ to demonstrate the flaws I have on my outlook please? Its ok of you cant recommend anything other than me just talking to more adults. I know that I am heavily inexperienced because ya Im only 30 year olds and 30 year olds tend to not be the most experienced or have very good complex analysis of how a healthhy adulthood oughta look like.
Also yoyusaid that there is no standard. And yes I agree, I dont think there is a formal standard. BUT Personally I feel that there should be some sort of ‘social-contract-based’ or ‘informal’ standard as to whst a healthy adulthood oughta look like or look similar to. Like being a diehard nazi in your 60s or even your 40s or 20s is supposedly a good standard for adulthood for some…why? 🤨 I think most would disagree with that. The way I see it is that there are many things that the law allows an adult to do and get away with HOWEVER I do think that there should be certain things that are ‘informally-enforced’ by the social contract mosts adults have agreed on. Like being a fully grown adult who was caught in the Epstein Files or being an unafraid die hard nazi who has committed many hatr crimes should, in my opinion , cause an adult to be treated in 'certain ways ’ by the followers of the social contract , until they begin the process to pay reparations to affected groups of their barbarism. Am I wrong?
I read that casey anthony gets bullied occasionally because of her crimes that we ALL know she actually committed(pfft girl stop lying . We have you !) and…I have no problem with I read about there and I dont see it as a problem until she confesses completely and takes full accountability for all she has done. Am I wrong about this? I would highly doubt that Im wrong about this.

3·1 day agoThank you for saying this.
I think that theres another aspect to this flawed outlook on life that I want to point out . Like if someone feels cheated by others who got something they didnt get and they feel bitter about this and then they make efforts to harm and exclude those who got that thing, doesnt that make them get trapped in sort of a cycle where they continually isolate others who got that thing , even the people of that group who could genuinely help them?
Like if you get bullied by a bunch of White people simply cause youre not White and you decide to just completely ostracise all White people? THAT is a bad plan. Youre ostracizing an entire group of people , there are many different types of people in each groups of peoples. There are clearly many White people who knows that all non-White people are their equals and treat them as such. If you feel bitter towards all White people you will miss out on important life lessoms that some of them can teach you and even some important life lessons you can teach them. If you feel saddened cause your mom or dad or both said that they will never raise you or see you again when you were younger , being bitter towards people who had been raised by both parents is bad cause some of them have important life lessons about being raised by both parents that you may never have had heard otherwise.
You can even apply this lesson in other ways. Like all because some Muslims are hardcore Saudi-prince-loving wahhabists that doesnt mean you should ostracize them all. All because some French people support the current colonization of Kanaky that doesnt mean all French people do so ostracizjng all french people is nonsensical. You could apply this to any group. A few bad apples doesnt ruin the fresh bunch.
I used to have A LOOOT of internalized racism. I saw Black people as not worthy of listening to even though I myself am Black. I basically saw only White people as worthy of listening to about ANY topic. You should have seen my jaw hit the floor when I realized that there were Black people out there with doctorates who were equally as qualified and knowledgable of certain subjects as any equally qualified White person. I was even more shocked when I started watching videos of Nlack people who went through similar experiences as me and were talking in depth about it!

0·1 day agonot hating on anything you wrote I think its mostly correct.
But I thought the DSM classified sociopaths and psychoapths as the same thing no? They said that theure just gonna generalize the two terms as both meaning Antisocial Personality Disorder if mymemory is correct

3·1 day agoforget only the bodycams have you seen the true crime stories that come out on some of these idoots after they get arrested and charged?
Theres that one guy who drove his car through all those people during that parade before he got arrested . Apparently he had impregnated a 12 year old before that… Ah! darrell brooks was his name. He really thinks that his scizophrenia diagnosis will allow him to act like an incorrectly raised 12 year old in this forever and be forgiven EVERY time… 😐
I remember seeing another bodycam of a man who was in his 40s who when he was getting arrested for taking inappropriate pictures of young girls at a Krampus event he said ‘My mom’s a lawyer! Im calling my mom’ to the officers… 😐
…Like…dude…hello?!

childfree@lemmy.world•In case you needed more reasons to be CF, here's another burgeoning problem.
1·1 day agoexactly its like those people who choose to not get a vasectomy or a bisalpingectomy because theyre afraid of the failure rate. …dude…The failure rate is like 1 in 2000-4000 and its odds of failure only increase 1. if you injure your balls while the vasectomy is healing or 2. if you have sex unprotected too early.
Also the odds of failure decrease the longer a person has had each procedure because the odds of recanalization decrease and decrease the longer since youve had any surgery.
The odds of failure are so low you practically dont have to worry about . …Thats why I got it…
Clean as a dream for the past 6 years. I hope my future gf or wife enjoys it as much as I do 🙊🙈🤷🏿♂️

1·1 day agothe human brain is simultaneously the most logical and the most Dunning-Kruegered stupid thing we have ever encountered.



I already know that there is gonna be a landmark set of studies or meta analyses that comes out one day that proves that genuine human conmections and genuine human touch are necessities for human life.
Also there will be another landmark set studies or meta analyses that show that some people are in situations so bad that they dont even need therapy, they just need a complete improvement of their life AND a community to help them and appreciate their hard work along their journey to improvement.
