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

I took my husband's last name because I knew that if we do ever have kids, they'd automatically have his last name, and he didn't want to change his name to mine. Ever since then for every family gathering my brother would be asked when he's going to find a girl and have babies so he can "continue the family name."

He was 20 when I got married. He couldn't even legally drink yet and our dad and uncle expected him to have babies? This has been going on for nearly five years. He told our mom (our parents are divorced) how he feels almost pressured and he doesn't like it when they ask him that shit.

They do this mostly because I'm infertile in the "I would die if I got pregnant" kind of way. That doesn't mean that I can't have a biological child. It just means that we have less options, and those options are super expensive. I'm not even sure my child would count in their eyes because they'd have my husband's last name.

Not that it will ever happen. I'm almost positive if we ever have a kid, it'd be through adoption. I don't want to have a child inherit my blood disorder.

Well, you see, the existence of trans people and drag queens (transphobes don't understand the difference) is child grooming, obviously. But when a pastor is arrested for molesting children it's fine because "he's a man of god."

I know that pastors weren't brought up but I've seen enough of these people on the internet to know that they like to ignore actual cases of child grooming.

Reply to Ever wonder if anyone else on the globe was ever watching the same exact show at the same timestamp by Double-Working1990

Over a decade ago my dad and uncle decided to watch a new episode of Family Guy together, but from their own homes and talking to each other through the phone. They accidentally found out that my uncle's TV was slightly behind my dad's even though they were watching the same show, on the same channel, at (almost) the same time.

I don't understand why they decided to do that that night. They haven't done that before or since. I just thought that it was kind of funny that they discovered such a thing by accident.
