90s supercars all look like boats on the inside and outside. Fast boats, but still boats. 

Know what? I’m the asshole actually, replying to you. Re-reading your replies I’m in complete agreement with you.

“Lmao.

humans reproduce for different reasons. 

Eh, I do agree with you, but I disagree that it’s something that cannot be measured. In fact if it’s such a certainty, then it DEFINITELY needs to be confirmed with some kind of measurement. I would argue that if 75% of people disagree (and I’m just throwing out a number), then you need a hell of a lot of evidence to…

“when I see friends (not close, but on the Christmas cards list) who haven’t had a kid despite being married for years”

That’s an awfully personal insult. Have we had a fight in the past? I am sorry if I was unreasonable or angry. 

“the desire to perpetuate our genetic line is at the base of the reproductive drive”

Holy wow, I suppose we have different tolerance for people who say those things, because I definitely have fewer of those nosy fucks in my life than my wife does (and all her friends do, and my sister, and my mom). Brene Brown has done the research to discover these topics (the expectations) are more common in the…

If I handed you two options: a fantastic night of sex with someone hot, or a copy of you, which would you choose?

Am I a known bad faith type? I honestly don’t comment very much on stuff other than Jalopnik. Have we had an argument?

Eh, that doesn’t have much to do with the question “why do people want kids?” Cave people fuck because it feels good.

“But maybe only women get that kind of harassment when they say they don’t want kids.”

OK, you’re making two statements:

“The desire to procreate is rooted in the thought that your genes are worth preserving”

The English know all about this stuff. All English drama is classist, and classism has many parallels with “cancel culture”. It will metastasize.

One danger of “cancel culture” or whatever you call it, is that justice is being meted out by people who aren’t experts in justice. You don’t want to be fired by a mob. You want to be fired by a progressive and learned HR department. Handing the reigns of pain over to The Internet is not a good idea. Remember that…

Don’t worry about what they think and say, or what they can imagine. If you want to get into the topic, go for it. Otherwise just state your answer and ignore the fallout. Also, if you want them to respect your position, you have to respect theirs. So listening to someone gush about what they love is not the worst…

“Because you make your money from our attention and if you didn’t want us to think about you, you’d be a lot less wealthy, so eat the whole meal”
