>>22064902
I have, and its the only thing I have found so far that resembles this. No wonder it is the best literature in human history.

What does the Gospel of John say?

Explain. Dropped after 50 pages because I was feeling too much second-hand dread for the protagonist.

I just spent a weekened with my little cousins and... dude I love kids so much. I don't get how there aren't numerous guys who aren't going around impregnating as many women as possible. I am married and my wife is on birth control but kids are just so delightful that I'd give up anything to have them and give them a decent childhood.

>>22065717
How? The shire is destroyed.

Virgil’s Eclogues and Georgics as well as the life of Virgil himself. He briefly moved to Rome as a young adult before returning home to his agricultural community to spend his life writing pastoral poems that told farmers how to farm.

>>22066058
Well, the thing is you have to give them a decent childhood. If you have neither money nor space, that’s a lot harder. That’s why there aren’t guys going around impregnating women. Especially since the legal system will make it even harder and then just take the kids away.

>>22065149
What does that even mean though? If there’s nothing to do, there’s nothing to do. If man is an animal that prays, fights, and works, and we grew up in a society that leaves little space for prayer and monastic life, has never known a real war, and has never had a thriving economy, where does that leave you? I’m thirty now but for my entire adult life, I’ve felt that there was basically nothing going on and nothing to do.

>>22066058
>I am married and my wife is on birth control
So... tell her to stop taking it and make some babies?? why would you marry a woman who wasn't intending to have children? She shouldn't be on that hormone-disrupting poison anyway.

>>22066068
>money nor space
These are subjective largely.
>Especially since the legal system will make it even harder and then just take the kids away.
I haven't heard or thought of this angle - do you mean neglect or just being poor? It's weird man - I was a total whore in a former life and I always wore a condom but now I look back, there are 35 families wanting to adopt for every kid born and I can't believe I ever didn't try to actively get them pregnant.

>>22066078
I asked her to get it originally and it's my fault. I agree with you but she'll wait to have kids. We'll still have 3-5 kids but that's probably it.

>>22066058
Get your wife off birth control, retard

>>22066085
>I asked her to get it originally and it's my fault.
You fucking retard

>>22066087
>>22066078
Are either of you married or women? Women live their lives trying to basically manicure how many kids they have nowadays - it's not only the norm but the goal. If I tried to do this she said she would divorce me.

>>22066092
>Are either of you married or women?
Yes I'm married with a son. My wife and I already agreed how many children we wanted before we got married. I would never have married her if she wanted to remain a non-reproductive. You're a retard.

E. M. Cioran, and yes I am serious

>>22066085
The longer you wait the harder it is to get pregnant much less healthy babies. If you want 3-5 you must start as early as possible. After 30 egg quality declines and leads to fewer successful births. Not to mention egg quantity.

Fertility doctors tell people that end up having to shop for donor eggs that they should buy the eggs from the youngest donors possible in order to actually get pregnant and carry to term.

>My wife and I already agreed how many children we wanted before we got married. I would never have married her if she wanted to remain a non-reproductive
How do you control number of kids without contraception?

>>22066092
I’m married with a child and another on the way.

>>22066100
Just avoid ejaculating in her around her ovulation period and boom, you have control

>>22066102
How old was your wife at first birth?
>>22066099
It's a fair point.

>>22066100
>How do you control number of kids without contraception?
I dunno, how does one be "a total whore in a former life" and not have a bunch of bastards running around? Join me at my thinking chair to think, think, think.

>>22066105
There's no way this works.
>>22066108
It's true

>>22066116
You are one dumb son of a bitch lmao. No wonder you married a woman without intending to procreate.

>>22066116
You can’t get pregnant if you don’t ovulate. If she is not ovulating you can cum in her all day long and you’ll never see a baby.

Only caveat is the lifespan of sperm inside the female body if you do it near her ovulation period.

>>22066119
You're not wrong lmao

>>22066123
My alpha vril sperm self-reproduces in her vaginal tractindefinitely so no point. Sorry betas

>>22066124
Well, figure it out. It's not too late. Seriously though, what were you thinking?

>>22066106
We waited too long and had to use donor eggs so trust me about this. Egg quality is the number one thing that matters (quantity aside, sense you can’t have quality without eggs) and it declines the older a woman gets

>>22066129
Could you give a timeline on this? I don't think I would do egg donors.
>>22066128
I had unusual circumstances for marriage and got married young.

>>22066137
It was a last resort for us, happened in mid 30s. Expensive. Get your family going and you’ll never have to consider it.

And donor is a misnomer. You buy them.

>>22066142
>And donor is a misnomer. You buy them.
How much?

>>22066137
>I had unusual circumstances for marriage and got married young.
Did these unusual circumstances include scheduling a short bus to deliver you to the ceremony venue? Come on Anon, spill it. You're already comfortable airing out your past retardation so far.

>>22066146
>Come on Anon, spill it.
Some things wait for heaven.

>>22066145
16k per cohort which is 6-8 eggs approx. then embryos are made and tested for genetic issues, luck of the draw on how many remain after fertilization.

~8-12k more for all testing and prepping mother for implant, but I’ve heard some clinics are pricier than that. Then if you fail you have to go through more cycles of prep for implantation.

Or buy more eggs too if you were not successful.

Just knock your wife up while she is young trust me

Nothing from this gay list.

>>22066082
Enough is subjective but not enough is not so subjective. I mean that in western countries the woman you have a kid with can just take the kids away and the legal system will not only defend her but order you to fund it.

>>22066095
>Yes I'm married with a son
You're a despicable degen; not only did you corrupt your child for your nefarious ends as you also subverted the child to convert to your desired gender.
You make me sick, you incestuous pedophile transaffirming motherfucker

It's called NFP (natural family planning) you track your basal body temperature and cervical mucus to figure out when you can raw dog it with no hormonal birth control. There is a wearable bbt thermometer called Tempdrop that makes it very easy. Successfully spacing the birth of my kids about two years apart with no happy surprise babbies doing this. It's a little more effort than just taking a pill, sell it to your wife by saying it's natural with no side effects.

Thanks for the lol

I don’t know if I would say Cioran affirmed life so much as he accepted and made the most of it. Are those the same thing? I don’t think so. But reading Cioran is very funny and sometimes makes me feel better when I’m feeling low.
