Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Change is possible, breaking the cycle is possible. It's only when the parents don't want to change themselves when everything becomes fucked up.

It's a kick-ass poem and having kids these days is at least questionable, but there is living proof out there that people can change and not everything is as bleak as it's made out to be.

The poem was written semi-sarcastically. But it hits hard because there is truth to it.

Philip Larkin was not an anti-natalist.

Oh, I didn't want to imply that this was my opinion of Larkin.

Ok. Anyways yeah I think it’s a cool poem but I don’t agree with it.
