Yes-huh! Anyway for real I have kids and love them, but the framing rubbed me wrong. They are obviously a positive and if too few people want to jump onboard, need to figure out why and address that. The “why” is what brought us here.

You are being obtuse and you know it.

You here: “having children is a wonderful thing that will add deep meaning and fulfillment to your life.” You before: “It’s not a lifestyle decision. And if you think it is you’re severely brainwashed. It’s time to delete that bit of malware in your mind.” I would hope you’d understand how those statements might earn very different reactions from a bunch of people who fundamentally don’t like being told what to do.

The correct answer to both is “to fund the state”. Tobacco just happens to be an easy target.

Getting a little preachy. I’d rather people who don’t want kids not have kids. People who aren’t ready don’t make good parents, which isn’t good for anyone, including and especially the kids.

White, though I agree with a few others that a more muted design would elevate it. And more importantly, use quality/textured/matte packaging material. The dark one reminds me too much of Apothic, which is definitely not high end.

I live in a pretty large city and the number of places listed is disappointing. I know it’s early but what can I do besides frequent the places I can?

Because the last ICO boom ended so well 🤦‍♂️

I mean, that’s the example you gave. But yes, cell phones plural.

The effort of a nation’s scientific community devoted to getting one broadcast from there to here. Pre-enshitification era. Vs One cell phone out of billions losing signal for a moment at a Wal Mart, in an industry ruthlessly focused on cost cutting. Everything enshitified. Did I do it?
