Children are the ultimate paradox. They simultaneously destroy your ego and reconstruct your soul. They’re the hardest challenge you’ll never want to quit, a relentless dismantling of who you thought you were, and a revelation of who you’re capable of becoming. The ROI? Immeasurable. The cost? Everything you thought mattered. @HODL is on point. The poorest generations in history still figured it out. What’s your excuse?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ View quoted note →

No, he's not. Focus on the original goalposts. He said that you cannot live a happy and fulfilling life if you're not married and you don't have children. That's provably false. It takes 12 seconds to run a search on influential people from history who were unmarried and had no children. People like Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla, Immanuel Kant, Jean-Paul Sartres, and Susan B. Anthony all lived unmarried lives and had no children. In 100 years, people will still speak their names but no one will remember the random pleb who had a few kids who never did anything to change the world. He's ignoring the individual circumstances with which other people must contend...circumstances he has never considered like war injuries, child abuse, sterility, etc. One size fits all is bullshit and if you're a Bitcoiner, as an Austrian economist, you should understand that. It's pathetic that you do not.

6653 English words start with the letter T. 1768 English words start with the letter I. 4155 English words start with the letter L. That's 48,873,204,120 possible combinations. If I go to an acronym search engine, I still get 25 search results. I can guess what was intended but it'll only be a guess. Idiots use undefined acronyms and think they're communicating. Read a scientific research paper and notice how they define their acronyms the first time before using the acronym in the rest of the paper as a shorthand convenience.
I have a 10 week old, my first, and there are times when he's been fussy for like 2 hours straight for different reasons, and I'm finally hitting my limit (it's really high but it is still there) but then he smiles and I'm replenished so I can give him more again! His huge smile melts my heart every time! It's so cool and totally worth it! Watching him learn new things makes other things kinda meek in comparison.
