Baby: costs thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars over a minimum of 18 years
Monitor: shows memes and games, costs a few hundred dollars for a good one, one time purchase
Obviously the child is the stupid financial decision
It depends on where you live. Believe it or not, kids still care for their elderly parents in some nations.
Making a life-changing decision - for more than just yourself - on the assumption that they will want anything to do with you in 40 years is, how do I put this… stupid as fuck?
And that assumes they also are able-bodied, of sound mind and judgement, can care for any others financially…
My folks are getting up there in age, and I’m not getting any younger myself. They are religious, I’m not. I’m LGBT, they are bigoted. I can understand the big picture of caring for others through community, they don’t. They are still very capable and mobile, I’m disabled. What side of the fence do you think I’m on?
They could have just used a fucking condom. They should have. They didn’t.
Are you telling me that you have kids only they can clean your ass and shit when you older? And people here on dbzero is giving you positive feedback?? Wow… Fucking hypocritical people when it’s a rich the egotistical bastard so eat the rich but when is a normal person you celebrate it, such a clown show.

So?? It’s not an excuse!!
An excuse for what? I think I misunderstood your point.
I took on a second, what have I done.
Here in Sweden I’m experiencing this with both older and younger generations. I know no one my age that has a kid, but so many younger generations have at least one. My little sister has two, and most of her friends do too. It’s weird.
that’s wild. i wonder why the younger gen had that shift. how does that difference affect you? do you have kids? where do you feel left out?
Breeder rhetoric targeted at kids that grew up with Web 2.0.
The world is already overpopulated so
is it though? pretty sure that’s yet another false narrative disseminated in service of the powers that be, but carried by well meaning liberals
I think so, yes.
A faultering population can be a factor in societal collapse depending on the manpower required to run the society’s infrastructure.
What happens when there’s not enough people to man the power station that runs the car plants that pays the workers to allow them to go buy a cup of coffee? It’s all interconnected.
Have you heard of neverending legacy? Its a (mostly unfinished) webgame by orteil42, creator of cookie clicker. Overpopulation is the real problem in the endgame, and its incredibly hard to cull the population without everyone dying of hunger.
Gonna need to push that space exploration budget instead of constantly going to war.
Then again, having more planets would mean a larger desire for power and greed would easily spark a space war.
Either way, humanity isn’t the perfect race.
/End rant
No it’s overpopulated.
Here is a good video I watched just this morning that may change your perspective
Not sure if he’s thinking about a second monitor or a second smoke.
Why not both? I haven’t seen that taco girl meme in a decade or so.
At 35 I got my third!
…27" curved screen with 144Hz and HDR…
Everyone here talking about second somethings. All I want to say is this is the baby with the most developed jaw, nose and brow that I’ve ever seen in my life.
Things really were different during our parents’ times.
Born a Chad like his dad, grew up into a Wojak like his mom.
I had 3 by 23 😁
Still have only 2 kids though
Anyone here ever used curved monitors? I’m seeing them come down in price and wonder if it’s cool enough to get
I like my ultrawides curved, but wouldn’t want a 16:9 curved.
I have one, only because it was an open-box special. I don’t really notice a difference compared to a flat screen when I’m immersed in a game or whatever.
Laughable, I think about MINUTES!
This would seem more accurate to me if it said “Grandparents at 25”. I’m the 25yo parent’s age and for us, people were already considering whether they could afford 1 or 2 children with mortgage and childcare costs. I guess if we had the big screen TVs, cellphones stronger than computers, gaming computers, and cheap airfare around the world, many of us would have also decided parenting was much too expensive.
My two crapped out at around the same time. So im at one now. Nothing fancy, but im pretty damed pleased for… i think it was 110? Might get a second of the same.
Two monitors suck, don’t fall for it. Traded out my 24" & 27" setup for a single 32" and loving it
The key is triple monitors so you don’t have a bezel in the middle of your field of view.
bezel in the middle of your field of view
One monitor straight ahead for games, 2nd monitor off to the side for discord or some media.
Or 2nd monitor for the map of the game in the first monitor (game devs!! Pretty please?!).

Triple monitors. Highest quality in the center. One off to the side for videos/discord/other side programs. One off to the side mounted vertically for reading documents and web pages.
I had the goofiest setup years ago… It was a single 16:9 1080p in the middle, with two 4:3 (1024x768?) monitors rotated. The sizes were just right so the pixel density was the same, and the sides only had a little bit of overscan when joined to imitate an ultrawide.___
I’m more a fan of identical triple monitors and keeping them all in the same orientation (all vertical for doing a lot of programming; all horizontal for everything else), but that might just be my perfectionism coming through.
So what you’re saying is, 3x 32".
(I do lots of racing games)
Got a curved 45" ultrawide. It’s one of the highlights of my day sitting in front that thing.
Still, dual monitors can be useful for sure. It may look ‘messy’, but definitely functional.
