none of these no-kids people are going to be happy they did this when they get to my age the propaganda against reproduction is obscene be fruitful and multiply not "temporarily chemically sterilize yourself so you can have all the sex and none of the family"

I married young and had kids young, before I was sensible enough to know better, as I lack impulse control. Same reason I bought Bitcoin and quit college to help build Nostr. The combination of low impulse control and a bizarrely-low time-preference feels like a superpower, sometimes, to be honest. In hindsight, I always think, Wow, that was a good decision. At the moment, everyone is like, Are you some sort of an idiot, or something? 80 IQ 🫡
I was thinking about this, while potting plants, this week. I really wanted an apple tree, and I wanted one *now*, so I just went and cut open an organic apple and planted three seeds in a flower pot. Totally stupid, right, as I could wait and go buy an apple tree on some other weekend and quickly see results. My MIL thought it was retarded. She's like, but you won't have a real tree for years! But I don't mind waiting 10 years for a tree. I just really wanted to plant it, immediately, so that I can cross "plant apple tree" off my mental To Do list. Just have to water and feed it, for a decade or so. No problem. I think this is typical Crazy Inventor personality, where you'll suddenly need to _do something_ and you just go for it and totally sperg out. 😂 I always do that with gardening, cooking, relationships, programming, etc. All in or wander off.
