    30 day alcohol program is to encourage not drinking for 30 days right?

    And not to be plastered for 30 days like the name implies.

    Okay so yes it’s green text but…

    I know people who work at inpatient acute facilities and they are constantly having to cockblock people to prevent truly horrible things from happening (think anorexia dating borderline or NPD + NPD)

    So while this particular story may not have happened, this general story happens daily.

      one fucked up parent already fucks up a kid. imagine two

      its a place where people calm down for the first time in forever, bored and together with others in the same situation. ofc romance ensures

        Worse yet a lot of mental health conditions have genetic components so the kids are basically getting the worst hand you can possibly deal them.

          That’s really not well proven.

          There’s some evidence for and some against. If these two have mental conditions caused by environmental factors that they overcome they may actually provide a really good environment to a child.

            Oops that’s eugenics! I get the sentiment but instead we should have a ridiculous amount of resources freely available to children and new parents, healthcare childcare food assistance socialization education. It takes a village and all that.

              I mean, genetics are genetics.

              I may have epilepsy and am strongly considering getting a vasectomy so I don’t accidentaly create a fucked up kid that can’t live normally.

              Adoption is always an option an all’at. And plenty of romance can happen without kids… Hell, ESPECIALLY without kids lol.

                Your personal choice is yours, and nobody can comment it. But making it a legal interdiction? That’s something else entirely. People with disabilities or illnesses can live long, happy and meaningful lives. Even more so if the society weren’t ableist.

              I mean it sounds harsh, but some people really shouldn‘t have kids. Some because of genetics (adoption is fine) and some because they are clinically insane and would destroy their children‘s psyche (these kids would be better off given up for adoption)

              In reality that‘s hard to achieve, but it is true.

                  The potential of abuse is wayyy to high to actually make laws about that.

                  It would be like saying that eating unhealthy is bad and then passing laws that may lead to someone being executed for eating a Twix.

                If childcare resources were abundant and free that would offset the problem a great deal, but capitalism and rugged individualism and all that. Like, given all the stupid out there I definitely see the appeal of it, and even things like eliminating genetic disorders would qualify so the line gets kinda fuzzy insofar as the ethics are concerned. The issue is that once systems are in place for wide scale eugenics of any flavor, some asshole will absolutely use it to genocide an ethnic group or other minority.

            I say we invert it. To prevent aristicracy and nepotism, the wealthy will be prohibited from reproducting. No one in the top 10% of income or wealth gets a baby license.

              What if we just make them adopt a kid for every multiple over the 3x over the national average income. So Musk would have to have like 4 million kids. Then you heavily follow them with CPS and fine them for any infraction. Basically making CPS the biggest taxing authority.

    This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you’re new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
    
    Be warned:
    
        Anon is often crazy.
        Anon is often depressed.
        Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
    
    If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
    

    No where in that does it say to write your own greentexts, screenshot them, and then post them here.

          Because to many people, being alone for their entire lives is already terrible. And it’s not like it’s a foregone conclusion that a relationship with a person you met in psych ward is terrible, it’s also possible that it’s good (or at least better than with a non-psych ward person) because they understand each other’s issues. Conversely, many people who never went to a psych ward also have mental health issues, which often go entirely untreated.
