My dad doesn't say it but he wanted the family line to continue. I don't care, humans will continue without this mix of DNA.

He never needs to know I got a vasectomy back in my 30s.

i'm in a field filled with big ego/low emotional intelligence people and it'd wild to me how obsessed with "legacy" so many of them are.

no one even knows about you, why would they care about your family line? the most history will remember 99.999% of us is some obituary in a newspaper noone reads.

all caught up in the rat race wasting their lifes chasing a fulfillment/acknowledgement they'll neger recieve while burning what little potential for human connection they actually have by overworking so much.

Anyone walking around doing spermatogenesis without a vasectomy is a fucking idiot.
