  • No shaming, fair question.

    From a societal ethics standpoint I don’t see a reason why any decision in this would be reprehensible. Both seem like valid lines of thinking to me.

    If your social support is stable enough even without your partner, I think that’s doable and might be fine.

    Now I’m also considering whether you are able to take care of an aging partner as well as a younger child or teenager which might be another thing worth considering.

    I think I personally would lean towards keeping the child but mind you I’m a 30 yo guy with no partner, so I have a very different perspective on this.

    Anyway I hope whatever decision you make, you will make it work.


  • American’s reactions will range from despair to triumph. Most of them feel sad about it at the minimum. But I think they will be mainly responding to the state of affairs, after all a nuke just reflects the extreme voices currently in power in the US.

    I personally will grieve the world before the new nuke dropped. I would be scared of escalation and I would probably also get more radical in my beliefs. I would probably find fairly radical activist groups and join them and try to supply them with my time and knowledge as much as possible.

    Basically a nuke will change my methods. I will basically look at the current geopolitics as beyond repair and I will try my best to make my voice heard forcefully, so we can role the dice and hope for better leaders. Maybe I will have to donate my freedom.

    But until that part of me dies that still hopes we can get there with our current system, I will be a holdout and just make my vote count.
