Idk sometimes with the way the world is going a lobotomy doesn't seem that bad.

Relationships would be a partnership of equals with no person “taking the wheel.” Comparing driving a car to managing a relationship is false equivalency. Just because you need one person to drive a car doesn’t mean that a relationship can’t be about equal contribution, respectful give and take, and agreeing to compromise as need be.

Neutering would be a free service in the "Pepe Universe".

I don’t believe in neutering, really, as a matter of course, though if somebody really wanted it….

I believe a person could be a good parent, and offset what is cruel about the world.

It would be a requirement to obey commands like sit, stay, and rollover.

I am against neutring pets, if you don't have a garden, then simply don't get a dog or cat as pet.

The promoted health benefits of neutring are stupid.

We weren’t talking about neutering pets.

Somebody mentioned something about preventing pregnancy in people because of this “cruel world.” I said, sometimes, that parents could offset the effects of the “cruel world” by nurturing kids.

Most people in this “cruel world” are still happy that they were born - even people who have been through a lot.

This ideology is called antinatalism.

I an not anti natalist, but I don’t want kids because I think it’s too late anyway.

Most people with gardens neuter their pets.

I don’t like neutering animals, either. But it’s usually done to prevent explosive population growth.

People who are players would have to be open about it.

Or maybe:

Players can only date people who are knowledgeable participants.
