You haven't given me a single reason. Just platitudes and the fact that you went along with your so wishes without wanting it yourself.

Still sounds like Stockholm syndrome.

That frog lives rent free in my head.

Contraceptives exists. A desire for sex is not a desire to reproduce.

Like I don't understand what wanting kids even implies. What specifically do people yearn for that can't be attained in other ways?

But I'm not controlled by my biology.

I can be hungry and choose not to eat. I understand the need for reproduction on a species level, but from my point of view having children looks like peer pressure and Stockholm syndrome. There is no upside for the individual.

As a physicist, physics is not math. Math is a tool you can use to do physics, but you can absolutely do physics without it. In fact, qualitative physics is the best kind.

And then there's the German ones: kindergarten, eigenvalues, ...

Having kids. I just don't get it.

Context matters dude. If your girlfriend ask for explicit consent before you hug her, you're in an abusive relationship.

Structure is concrete, road surface is asphalt.

Don't do groceries once a week, live in walking distance of a small grocer. But that requires them to exist, and mega corps are killing them all.

That's why people are pushing for 15 minutes cities. If you had a small local grocer within a mile of your house and did trips every few days instead on one big trip every other week, then it's doable by foot/bike.

North American cities are designed for cars, and it'll take decades to change if we start now. But we need to do it sooner or later.
