We could educate them using posts and they could ask /c/mutualaid if they need food or something. Just an idea to bring us together again.

As long as it's an indoor child. If you let your kid outside it's just going to end up killing a ton of birds.

I don't have space for an indoor child. My porch isn't super enclosed from the street either. But they could couch surf with users that are comfortable giving out their address to the child.

I'm building a ~~treehouse~~ guerrilla base for the child as we speak rat-salute-2

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Kids love trees. I'd do the same but they'd freeze to death in the winter and my dog likes taking over the couch in front of the fireplace. There just isn't room.

I theorize that the child will be socially maladjusted and harbor a deep resentment for us

[-] Magician@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

So they'll be just like their parents

Honey, I caught the kid stacking rocks again

[-] Judge_Jury@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

bloomer I'll buy them their first outdoor cat

I'm ready to have a desperation baby to save our relationship.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

We're gonna prove it takes a village to raise a child.

Sure, but just to be safe, let's agree on what an appropriate bed time should be

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

I was going to let the child decide and see what happens. Maybe we'll get a disappointing one and they need the advice of thousands of people in the parenthood megathread.

Bedtime is authoritarianism 1980

One upbear is one changed diaper!!

[-] heiferlips@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

LFG!!!!!!!!

Nothing bad could come of this. Only good things.

[-] a_blanqui_slate@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

You joke, but I did this with my ex and it totally worked.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

I have been told that the best thing for a struggling marriage is to bring a child into it to smooth out the conflict.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

you can't yell about maoist third-worldism at me in front of the baby

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Of course, so I'll just offload the caretaking labor to an underpaid babysitter so I can do the much gentler labor that is in better conditions. I'm sure nothing about that will impede radicalization blob-no-thoughts

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

We can just rotate babysitting duties amongst anyone who makes a hexbear account. I think you can still ship a baby in the mail like they did in the 1920s.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Okay but what if we illegally adopted a child together?

[-] ped_xing@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

And that child's name? Virgil Texas.

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

"You think Pig Poop Balls is your ally? You merely adopted the Pig Poop Balls. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the front of the pig until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!"

[-] RNAi@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

But what if the adoption office assign us a crakkkerling?

[-] BigHaas@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Weekly spray tans

Remember David Graeberā€™s story about how during Occupy, their collective bought a car to drive people to protests, but the law made it so prohibitively difficult to collectively own a car that they ended up destroying the car?

Anyway, completely irrelevant anecdote. Adopting a kid sounds great.

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Let's collectively own a cat first, for practice.

First question: indoor or outdoor?

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

I think we've all individually owned a cat. Some of us are even individually parents. What if we used that expertise about pet ownership and parenting to inform the community? That could be like one party in the larger congress of soviets. They'll advocate for things cats and kids like, I'll advocate for things my dog and I like. We'll make a stronger baby as a result.
