Reply to LPT: If a single friend of yours has said they don’t want children, don’t start asking them if they’ve changed their mind if/when they find a partner. by dubdoll

Having raised several (awesome) kids, I can say that I totally understand not wanting to.

It’s a TON of work, financial drain, emotional drain, relationship strain, etc, for a couple decades.

I’m glad I have a bunch of cool kids (adults) to hang out with. But I’m also a little sad I didn’t get to travel more, or experience more museums/shows/beaches/etc.

It’s a trade-off. I don’t regret my choice, and I understand the child free appeal, but it’s nobody’s fucking business either way.

Reply to LPT: If you are having trouble in your marriage, one of the first things a counselor will suggest is to take a trip together to where you went when you were first starting to court each other. by Clazzo524

Good thing we aren’t living paycheck to paycheck and have money, and paid vacation time, so we can take a trip to save our marriage.

Of course, if we weren’t living paycheck to paycheck in the first place there’d be so much less stress and tension in our marriage that a counselor and vacation wouldn’t be necessary.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL Among the 50 million employed college graduates ages 25 to 64 in 2019, 37% reported a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering but only 14% worked in a STEM occupation by Fit_Pangolin_8271

They want college graduates, regardless of major, for two main reasons:

  1. they’ve proven that they can tolerate tedious bullshit and meet deadlines

And

  1. they typically have crippling debt and are less likely to quit over bullshit because they NEED the paycheck.

Reply to comment by Salesman89 in TIL In The 1930s, Baseball rivaled Soccer In England, attracting 10,000 spectators per game. In 1938, at the inaugural Baseball World Cup, Great Britain defeated the USA 4 games to 1. The outbreak of WWII interrupted the sports ascendancy, and it never recovered its prewar popularity. by contextual_somebody

I know. It’s very popular in Latin America and Southeast Asia. I was simply making a joke that the WORLD Series is just a US championship
