People will say things like "it's selfish to not want to have kids!" and then immediately follow it up with "Who is going to take care of you when you get old?" as if they don’t know what the word selfish means.

@Kierkegaanks @Alice people seem to have a lot of confidence without any evidence that any of us will make it to "old"

@JustaJason007Oh come on, that's ridiculous. Just go ahead and get old. There's an alternative, it's just not very popular. @Kierkegaanks @Alice

@tomjennings @JustaJason007 @Kierkegaanks @Alice Nobody wants to go into the trades these days. Who will be the gruff-but-misunderstood old gray hair who teaches kids the lesson about kindness and being prepared against occult threats in 2035 long-form TikToks, if not our generation?No, people these days want to be "cared for" in their "comfortable old age", not contribute meaningfully to society by frightening youngsters and letting their house fall gracefully into decay!
