Literally most authoritarians whose entire life goal is dictating how others should live are parents, and their own kids frequently publicly hate them

@MethDozer Actually, he just has no self awareness whatsoever

@AdmiralPrune pretty sure childless and unmarried people have stuff like parents, siblings, cousins, etc. Also friends.
Unless you're claiming that Methy is the virgin-birthed son of God.
He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy.

@MethDozer Sure I’m here. Between making fun of you I’m with them. Or working.
Got it so I’m not in anyone’s basement and a home owner with an offspring and my own family so I guess I’m allowed to keep ranting on sw 🙃

We don’t have very many basements here in the south.
But we do have backyard sheds.

Well, I think you should be more accepting, tolerant, and open to new ideas.

@AdmiralPrune Well, I certainly don't want to force my experience and insights on you. It's just that I can see glaring areas where you can improve so I feel a certain... I guess you could call it an obligation... to help you see what you are obviously missing. Perhaps if you change your mindset. We could start with that... I suppose.
@MarkPaul I’m not sure how many times I can tell you I’m not interested before tempers are frayed.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@AdmiralPrune Oh, my bad, Admiral. I think I get it. You just need some time and space for now.

Except for the childless parent bit, i know what you mean 🤔
@Gumbodidlo childless <comma> parent’s basement dweller

@AdmiralPrune I've put my glasses on and now I'm completely with you old chap 👍
I love the way this post got approval from people who know, and spleen from people who don’t. Perfect.

I do not sleep in the basement!
I sleep in the attic, in case guests get horrified when they see me.

@jackjjackson it's called self-deprecating humour. You should try a sense of humour. Will help your blood pressure.

That’s why you received positivity. @basilfawlty89

People really got worked up over this thread.
It is basically just an idle comment but then people feel like it was aimed at them.

@HoeBag Precisely. The only people taking seriously think I talking about them. But I don’t know them until they react.

Look! There’s one of them over there now! Quick! They’re trying to get away!!

Basements are for plebs... all the decent members of SW dwell under bridges, I'll have you know.

Being married or a parent doesnt make you special or any more valid as a person. Nor does it make you any more of a moral authority or more worldy. It just means you didnt wear a condom
@basilfawlty89 Wait, I didn’t say my region was the same. In fact I actually said maybe I live in an area with better values.
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@AdmiralPrune but you expressed skepticism of the report based on it being lower in your region. I don't think the WHO, crime researchers, and legal scholars would just make a number up.
@basilfawlty89 I think the outcome of the report gives you blanket answer when it has to be applied by region and culture.
Some countries would think nothing of marrying off 15 year old girls. You and I would see that as abuse. Some people live with a high standard of living, in other places children are scene as another pair of hands to help the family survive certain living conditions. I don’t doubt the report, simply the way it is interpreted by the reader.
The WHO saved humanity from the worst of Covid by guiding us towards solutions only to be vilified and defunded by the three “superpowers”. They’re a force for good but not everything they produce should be accepted verbatim.
