    People breed without the ability or resources (or desire) to care for the children they bring into the world. It makes me sick.

      Idk if it should make you sick. At one point in time for our species we didn’t really possess modern society or a reasonable expectation for a good life for our offspring. It’s only natural that some of that is baked into our behavior even in modern times. (Ya’ll down voting are gonna have a fucking moment when you eventually realize you’re just an overgrown monkey on a big ass space rock and not even /half/ as important as you think you are.)

          That’s a rather prudent way of putting it, but yes it’s admirable when they do. I don’t think you can reasonably be agahst and sickened when they fail to though, especially in this circumstance. Our entire species was not evolved or designed to live the way that we do, in the society that we do, with the considerations and consequences that we do. Sure by modern standards having no preconceived plan and means for your child is a bit shocking and against the norm and ill advisable, but even a few generations ago that would’ve literally been the norm with no functional alternatives.

      I’ve literally met people in this situation in real life. I know it’s the internet and everything here is basically a lie, but what here specifically makes it so unbelievable to you? Because I can assure you from personal life experience that it’s at least a plausible reality.

        Hell, people do way worse than this too.

        My friend got his gf pregnant and wasn’t ready for a child so they had the abortion conversation but she suddenly became religious out of nowhere and had to have the child because of her religion.

        Well fast forward a year and a half and she leaves him to move to another state “that’s more fun” and refused to take the child with her because apparently raising a kid isn’t fun… So much for being a “good Christian.”
