All I hear from people is that evolution makes it so that having kids makes your meat computer squirt good chemicals. But idk, given how much hard work and money they cost i feel like I could get the same high from heroin with less effort.

You disparage parents with a silly insult, yet you yourself are the result of procreation. Curious! :very-intelligent:

I didn’t ask them to do that shit, they did it of their own fucking volition.

IIRC, “breeder” started in gay circles in the 70s-80s when moral majority types were weaponizing the fact that same-sex couples couldn’t have (or adopt) kids as a way to invalidate queer relationships. It was a way for queer people to express their frustration with a cishetero mainstream that they could never be a part of.

What it means or implies now is ???

I think mainly the fact that gay people can adopt now removes a lot of the motivation

if you’re performing a calculation of effort and money to reward, I can tell you as a parent that there are many many more efficient ways to do so than having kids

Consider that quantifying human relationships in terms of the amount of dopamine per dollar may cause you to miss more intangible things
