Is said trash can full or empty though? Those are two completely different scales.

16 is definitely extreme, but having gone to war with YouTube’s junk to small kids and finding out there’s no preventing them falling down some junk rabbit hole, I’m pretty cool with it up to about 12.

Those are the only 2 ways I can imagine having a child and not making some sacrifices, yes. Your insults do nothing to further your point.

Literally any non-ml instance would be a way better choice. Also avoid hexbear. The rest are pretty solid. I’m happy with speed of Lemmus.org, but lemmy.world worked fine for me too.

This is how they enforce the CCP’s social values.
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 3 days ago:
They are just trying to be like the CCP, their heroes. Wait until they roll out their social credit system in upcoming Lemmy releases!

Yes I understand this is coming from people who feel (probably rightly) that their parents weren’t good parents and didn’t do enough for them, and which may have said the things you mention.
But even taking all of that as true, those parents, as bad as they may have been, still made sacrifices for their kids. I agree that this is a horrible thing to hang over their heads, but it doesn’t make it untrue either.
I also agree you are signing up for this usually thankless job and should be ready for that. But that also doesn’t negate the fact that you are making some sacrifices to be a parent.

It’s an expectation and a sacrifice. By having kids you made the choice to make some sacrifices.
In the definition of sacrifice there is no provision for how much you wanted to make said sacrifice or what the motivation was. Simply that you gave one thing up for another thing you found more important.
sacrifice /săk′rə-fīs″/ noun The act of giving up something highly valued for the sake of something else considered to have a greater value or claim. “Social activism often involves tremendous sacrifice.”

This is true for any sort of sacrifice. Volunteering, saving people from burning buildings, etc.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 4 days ago:
Yes I suppose you could apply that to anything and say sacrifice doesn’t exist for anything. But since we are discussing it, I don’t think we are in the mindspace you are proposing.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 4 days ago:
Being a good parent and making sacrifices are not the same. It’s impossible to be a parent without making sacrifices. It’s possible to make said sacrifices and still be a bad parent.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 4 days ago:
Try being a parent and get back to me. There isn’t a parent in the world that doesn’t make sacrifices. Even bad ones do. There’s no way to raise a kid without time and money and loss of sleep. Even if you do a bad job.

Unless they put you up for adoption or sent you to live with relatives, the fact that you are still alive disproves this point.

The TV and stereo aren’t amazing for that time. I had better in my teens and twenties just from my restaurant jobs.

I had that TV back in the day. It was an amazing TV for it’s time.

- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges Roblox Hosted Digital 'Diddy Freak-Off' Themed Games 2 weeks ago:
Roblox is the absolute worst thing for kids.
All my kid’s friends are on it so I feel bad not allowing them to use it, but there’s no way to set it up that doesn’t allow them to access these horrible experiences without also blocking access to pretty much every normal experience.
The devs are allowed to set their own maturity level so this experience probably has the same maturity as Grow a Garden.
So I have to just constantly monitor it and manually block inappropriate stuff, but there’s a limit of 200 for blocking which I’ve already hit. It’s the worst.
