Welcome everyone! Make yourself at home in our time-honored tradition, the weekly discussion thread!
P.S. As your matrix server overlord friendly server admin, I would like to announce that I am working on some uh… stability improvements. Some might call them enhancements. Don’t ask what I’m enhancing. Anyway, the uptime will be… better. Probably. >:3

Yeah tell me about it. There are 4 kids in my family and my two brothers aren’t having kids (one got sterilized and the other is gay). My sister is in her mid 30s and by the looks of it, she isn’t having kids either even though she’s married
I’m the youngest (in my mid 20s), and I’m really starting to feel the pressure of being the one responsible for continuing the bloodline. So yeah I totally get you
my sisters all have multiple kids… but I’m the only man with my grandpa’s name. i did feel a lot of pressure at one point but i just think in the grand scheme of things this is absolutely unimportant
You made me feel better. Thank you
That’s a eugenicists brain worm. Kill that idea.
Like if you have an interesting family history and culture its cool to pass that sort of thing on but that doesn’t need to be given to someone spawned of your loins.
I don’t have an interesting family history lol. It’s less about a “bloodline” and more just the expectation that at least someone in the family will give my parents grandkids
Sorry, I shoulda phrased that better, perhaps “bloodline” was the wrong word
No need to apologize. I was raised to believe in the responsibility to “continue the family line” too. Its just insidious how the eugenicist ideas get slipped into our brains.
