Unironically and somewhat cringe-ally, Ivan Ilyin basically said exactly this in one of his essays about people choosing to watch sports games over staying inside and reading Christian literature.

having kids because "its what we're here to do" sounds incredibly irresponsible but i guess if it werent for people like you humanity would not continue

>>25349334
>sounds incredibly irresponsible
How so? I am middle class, university educated, live in a safe area, work and make decent money, had an upbringing free from abuse (therefore am not continuing a cycle of abuse), I am healthy with no disabilities or genetic abnormalities, I am white, as is my fiance, and I am sober and have been for 2 years. What factors here could lead to a child living a bad life outside of the factors of existence that are completely outside of direct control? The only real measure of fitness or unfitness to have children through irresponsibility is whether or not the child will suffer unduly as a result of your circumstances and nature. Wanting to have children as a result of both biological drive and a rationalised form of purpose in life is not irresponsible, and it is definitely not "incredibly" irresponsible. If I was poor, a victim of abuse, possessed a hereditary disability, lived in the third world, did not have stable income, was uneducated, was addicted to drugs and or alcohol, and was driven to have children because I felt it would give me purpose, that would be irresponsible. But to decide it is irresponsible while not possessing any information about my genetics, environment, and personal circumstances is just silly. Are you some kind of anti-natalist? Are you a victim of the propaganda that tells Europeans not to have children because its bad for the environment and you are dooming your child to suffer in this "terrible world" of climate change, meanwhile the average thirdy has a birth rate of 4+bpw.
>if it werent for people like you humanity would not continue
Precisely, and there are fewer and fewer people like my fiancé and I, because educated White Europeans have been propagandised into being childless; through a combination of economic and social decline either don't believe it is feasible financially to have children, or now don't believe they want children. This in turn results in only the White lumpenproles and browns are actually having children, and the former still at a much lower rate than the latter. This constitutes a crisis for the existence of people of even middling to slightly higher than average IQ living in the Western world, alongside the catastrophe of ethnic replacement. So maybe (if you're white and of even average IQ) pull your finger out and form a plan to start a family within the next 5-7 years.

You mean like "commie block" apartment complexes (found throughout the capitalist world)?

The sexually frustrated come up with utopian social arrangements that resemble hippie free-love, OR they let their sickest fantasies run wild, like de Sade and other sexless sex-addicts.

Why do I care about comic strips? It strikes me they were only ever intended as light humor, I don't know why people elevate them to legitimate commentary. Maybe it's a literacy issue, like people can't articulate their thoughts so they prefer drawings to communicate.

Stannis is the Man. 65% chance that you'll acquire a liking for him by the end of the book or the next. it's hard to dislike him once you get to know him and see him develop.

Hi anons. Does anyone here wants to work as a writer for a mod? I really want to develop an asoiaf mod but my esl ass can't into writing. I'm not going to police the story as long as it fits the gameplay. The videogame in question is Sultan's Game.

>Also, I hope this isn't a dumb question, but what exactly are the Others and their relation to the singers/CotF? I always assumed they were the agents of the Great Other, but it seems that Azor Ahai being trapped in Weirnet played a key role. Per Dany's visions in the House of the Undying Ones, it seems Azor Ahai was executed by the singers/CotF, then brought back by the Great Other, but I'm not clear on the details.

Others are the CoTF/ native weirwood net hivemind that was exiled from the heart of winter by Azor Ahai. Perhaps the COTF were trying to sacrifice him to the weirwoodnet directly but being a powerful greenseer he went into the tree and took it over.
The Great Other to me is both the Others and the Weirwoodnet itself. They were tree spirits at first and thus anti fire, being trees, and then become icy wraith and thus more anti fire. Mel and the lord of light see the Others as the great Other most likely. But maybe the Great other is another thing entirely like what ever cthulhu like evil Euron is gonna wake and get possessed by.

That's nice and all but I never even get a real phone number whenever I approach, nevermind any chance to treat anyone kindly or loving anything. I'm more or less ready to throw in the towel but unfortunately that doesn't soft the whole "no children" mental spiral so idk. I guess just keep trying and getting rejected like your local Mormons until I just can't feel anything, and just stop hoping for the best. Sad too because I used to be one of the "just get a hobby bro. Just work on your finances bro. Just work out bro." which to be fair actually does work...for like 3 years before the pitiful state of your romantic life comes knocking at your door again eventually and suddenly the 90 pounds lost, the fables stock portfolio and 6 hobbies just feel empty but yet completed. Then the real killer isn't just feeling empty, but some girl showing up, and flirting hard and giving you all the massive signs to break your deeply learned cynicism...just to get rejected anyways like you always do. Then you just sit there just feeling dumb and know if you're flawed somewhere but never really able to pinpoint why like the "kick me" sign that you can't ever seem to find.


Sucks but it is what it is. At least there's other things in life I guess. So I guess it's just that. Just do stuff and occasionally get rejected then you're 50. I know you want it to be hopeful or you want me to tell you to give up or give some advice but I have nothing. You might as well listen to some Twitter guru who sells you 40.00 dollar self help books because he's just about as credible as me. Just do yourself a favor don't go blaming women or society or yourself or something. Just say you don't know.
