I am childfree 33, childfree both by choice and by economic circumstances. I have a intense aversion towards baby’s, doesn’t mean others shouldn’t get them. I used to think that instead of having kids, I could just be the cool uncle that babysits sometime. Turns out I really dislike babys. So, probably should never get my own.

Sometimes I get tempted by the wish, but then I am reminder that I prefer the risk of regretting not having children, then risking regretting having children. And while I do subscribe to the anti-natalist worldview, that only should dictate my actions, not those of other people.

I am very lucky to have a partner who is also childfree by choice.

In the Netherlands , 18% of the population can’t properly read (functioneel analfabeet).

Yeah I didn’t believe that either first time I read that.

To be fair, when Facebook was still big the privacy advocates were being branded as paranoid. Those turned out to be right after all.

To be fair, my father tends to make messages quite incomprehensible by adding irrelevant information all over the place. Sometimes going on for multiple screens while it could easily have been a 2-3 sentence message.

Sadly I think AI would even be worse at picking up what information is important from that. But I understand why people want it.

As for very active groupchats, I am not gonna read +25 messages a day, but being able to glance the gist of it would be awesome.

Lol I know that place. Funny finding it on here.

iPhone 8, I have been surprised by how long it has lasted so far. Still gets security updates every now and then.

Next phone is probably going to be a fairphone.

Ain’t that just welfare? I thought UBI means that you will get the money, even if you work.

TBH my perspective might be skewed cause I am qualified for disability income, but I choose to work anyway. So I naturally tend to assume that others would do the same.
