As the 21st century began, human evolution was at a turning point.
Natural selection, the process by which the strongest, the smartest
the fastest reproduced in greater numbers than the rest,
a process which had once favoured the noblest traits of man,
now began to favour different traits.

That is a misunderstanding of natural selection. Natural selection means the most efficient ways to live in your ecological niche have been selected for.
Sloths are not counter to natural selection. They’re not fast or smart or strong. What they are is well-adapted to live in their environment.
It’s from the movie Idiocracy. Which is more of a documentary at this point.
My wife finally are in a point where we can afford to have children, but we are kinda getting a bit old to have children. So we are also choosing the dual income no children life style,
But a big part of that is our age and how long it took to get to a comfortable place financially.
Now we want to focus on saving for a house and retirement.
How old are you if you don’t mind me asking?
Don’t mind me. I’m the weirdo that legit loves being a parent.
Shocked you haven’t been downvoted a ton. Lemmy really hates anyone who wants to have children.
I downvote broad generalizations
I’ll try not to generalize broads then
If I had to redo my life, that’s what I’d do.
Don’t ever tell your children that.
Definitely not if they’re young / stupid enough to take it personally!
There will never be a time in which your children are cool with you telling them that you wished they’d never been born
I kind of disagree, I would completely understand if my parents said that. Maybe it’s because the math is so clear to me.
Same. I was born five months after they were married. I know I was an accident and that I financially taxed them as a baby. Saying “I regret having you” doesn’t have to mean they regret having you so much as when or how they did. I bet my folks would have liked to wait, lol
Kids? In this economy?
Optimised into genocide.
