  • What’s wrong with being selfish? I didn’t want kids, full-time kids are annoying and a huge responsibility. If someone doesn’t desire children, it’s very much ok to dedicate the energy and resources of raising several kids to themselves.

    People are selfish, reproducing doesn’t exempt you from being selfish, people can have kids for selfish reasons too.

    I admit sometimes I’ve thought it would have been cool to raise a human from zero, trying to make them a good person, and be a demigod to them on their first years because they didn’t know better; but I still think the world needs less people, not more. Since the 70s we were warned about overpopulation and the environment, and we just added another 4 billion people anyway.

    Edit: thank you for the correction, kind stranger.

    This whole genre of comics is so cringe, they’re basically moral outrage click bait with cartoons.

    They have this in common:

    • Low-effort drawing (at least this one is not that bad)
    • Forced scenarios to put characters at the polar opposite of the moral spectrum.
    • Trying so hard to generate indignation.

    I don’t mean that the problem isn’t real, but this is a circlejerk with too many cartoonists already. In a few years we’ll be embarrassed of having participated in this trend of imaginary situations while doing nothing IRL.







  • So just leave or go to therapy? Since the comic is very ambiguous, it could signify three things:

    • Her boyfriend is being toxic to her.
    • She is being toxic to her boyfriend.
    • Both are being toxic to each other.

    In any case, seek help if your relationship matters, or leave it because it’s toxic, wether intentionally or not.

    We should strive to be well-adapted adults, this kind of behavior is immature and unhealthy, even if the toxicity comes from trauma and not malice.





  • Software engineering is a mindset, a way of doing something while thinking forward (and I don’t mean just scalability), at least if you want it done with quality. Today you can’t vibe code but proofs of concept, prototypes that are in no way ready for production.

    I don’t see current LLMs overcoming this soon. It appears that they’ve reached their limits without achieving general AI, which is what truly would obsolete programmers, and humans in general.
