    If your baby has that many teeth at that age, there is something wrong

    Besides: it’s not their problem that you can’t empathize with people who are feeling more love and joy than you could ever imagine.

      feeling more love and joy

      How is this related to posting pictures online?

        They live vicariously. They only understand something if there is a picture or video of it.

            In that they’re both photos surrounding the birth of a baby. Something that most people experiencing view as a precious and fleeting time they’d like to have nice pictures of.

        So because you don’t understand which feelings this almost blind ugly little meatbag in that photo represents, there will be those who do and who will share the joy, making the world a little less depressing as fuck. Which is a benefit. But of course,. because you can’t understand that, no one possibly can.

          I don’t think pictures of minors should be posted online.

          You do you tho

            I wholeheartedly agree, just for different reasons than presented here. Yet, especially as long as they look like moles, posting them isn’t that bad.

            I’ve never posted pictures of my child online. I don’t even post them on private chats. Just via my immich instance to his grandmas and aunts.

      Found a fresh parent.

      How are your hobbies doing? Been anywhere interesting lately? Sleep good?

      A friend of mine has a baby and he’s certainly in that joy category. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me because it was essential for the survival of the species, but I’m still surprised that people like babies. Kids can be cute when they’re old enough to talk and use the toilet, and even then they’re only cute if they’re the charming kids-say-the-darnest-things sort and not the tantrum-throwing sort. Meanwhile puppies and kittens are cute from the moment they’re born.

      (Why do humans babies make such horrible sounds when they need something? A puppy whimpering makes me want to give it whatever it’s asking for. A baby crying makes me angry. I suppose the crying is harder to simply ignore.)

        I see you haven’t had to stimulate a newborn kitten’s ass to get it to poop.

          I had to do a lot for my dog that could be considered gross in an abstract sense but it never bothered me much. I suppose that was because he was my cute dog and not just because he was a cute dog, but being a cute dog certainly helped. It’s notable that I did not feel that same way about my little sister when I was 11 and she was born. She’s a great person now but I didn’t like helping take care of her even though I didn’t have to do it much; I think that’s a big reason why I don’t have my own children.

      I’m glad that there are people convinced that the most misery you can feel is worth all the “joy”
