Tiktoker Posting His Own L's - Very Really Good

[@TheMaskedHero]

As a parent, the best advice I can give is don't have kids if you don't want them. They are not something to be on the fence about or something to cave to peer pressure about either.

[@FaiaHalo]

Exactly. People don’t need to reproduce if they can’t take it seriously. Creating and raising another human is no joke. It’s hard as hell and if people really don’t want children, they should take precautions and make sure not to get pregnant. There are too many children who don’t have parents that love them. Plenty of adults have grown up without real parents as well.

as someone who lives in chicago, whenever my city is brought up in a debate about gun control it makes me livid. you can drive to indiana and get guns with ease and drive them back to chicago. it’s that simple. when the argument against school shootings is “what about chicago” it breaks my heart. chicago’s gun violence stems from gang violence which is a direct result of financial inequality. the police purposefully avoid areas of gang violence and let people kill each other. chicago’s gang violence is a serious and heartbreaking issue. that tiktoker is a disgusting individual. i love my city. gun control in our surrounding states would make a huge impact.

[@ellabiddy4741]

Yeah my thoughts on that part were more that the cause and effect is the opposite of what the dude was trying to claim. There are harsher gun laws because of the elevated amount of violence, not the other way around. I live in GA and in ATL there are a lot of shootings but small scale like someone gets into an altercation and shoots that 1 person, not mass shootings, but it still makes Lenox Mall sort of infamous. The other day my dad asked if I was comfortable driving his car with his gun in it and I said “as long as I don’t get pulled over” to which he informed me I don’t need a single form of approval besides simply being over 18 to have a gun in GA. Brian Kemp recently eliminated the requirement for a permit to carry a handgun, so anyone who hasn’t been convicted of a felony YET can take a gun almost anywhere. It’s sort of normal now up in the mountains to see an old man with a gun attached to his waistband wherever, in a Walmart, outlet mall, restaurant, etc. Who knows if he’s crazy or not cause he sure as hell wouldn’t go to a doctor and find out in these parts.

I used to travel into Indiana for the fireworks, it’s almost like, you can do things semi-legally. I bought the fireworks legally, illegally crossed state lines with it.

Not going to college doesn’t inherently make you unintelligent. But (usually) leaving your hometown and going to a new place with new people and new ideas challenges the biases and preconceptions you develop as a child. Being on your own and having to personally and professionally grow allows you to expand your maturity and critical thinking. It’s not bad that the tiktoker didn’t go to college, it’s just unfortunate that he seems so unwilling to be open to other ideas and opinions.

That isn't a fair comparison - for a tattoo, you pay once and $1000 can get you a pretty big one. Meanwhile an average monthly cost of raising a child is like $1200 per child per month, nevermind the severity of consequences. Tattoo - some of your skin has a different color now, which sure, makes some jobs off limits but that's it. A child - a new human being that you are now responsible for, you have to provide for their physical and emotional needs and play an important role in their development as a person (which scarest the shit out of me personally)

I think the reason people get defensive about people saying they hate kids is because a lot of us grew up around people who hated us and it’s really traumatizing. As long as you don’t treat them like shit in front of them there’s nothing wrong with just disliking them or being around them. Tara mooknee just made a really good video about it

[@jifij89]

for sure, this is part of why i get defensive tbh. also i think of my niece, and i can’t imagine anyone hating her so it makes me sad lol

[@VermilionNovak]

@@jifij89 yes, I absolutely love kids, I studied childhood development in college. It’s very valuable for everyone but especially people who work with children. Childcare is not for everyone because you have be incredibly patient and constantly remind yourself of their current developmental state and how much your interactions contribute directly to their brain development and future mental health problems or skills. Which is why pressuring people to have kids is so bad, most people don’t deserve kids who have them so I respect people who know that they don’t want them and stick to it so much. I know people who have had kids from social pressure and it’s really heartbreaking seeing how she treats her kids, she’s not directly abusive but every time I see her interact with him I KNOW exactly what kind of problems he’s going to have within his interpersonal relationships as an adult. I understand why being with/having kids is not something everyone can do but giving future adults the respect of human decency is all I ask of people. Which I’m not saying Kurtis does btw I’m sure he treats them ok and is just on the general dislike side of things

THEY DON'T KNOW SHIT, that's what parents are for, teaching them. And most parents absolutely suck and only traumatize their children. Idc if they're "doing their best". Some people shouldn't have children and it's clear the ones preaching for having babies are the ones who are selfish and never stopped to think about the consequences. To them, they're doing a good work because it was how their parents raised them. Yay generational trauma. That's why I won't have children but I will try to help as many as possible to stop that generational trauma. And that's way more than most of those baby-crazy people will ever do.

As a zoologist, every time someone says “Why are there still monkeys?” as an argument tells me a GREAT deal about how much they actually know about evolution. The primates we evolved from are no longer around, because those populations either evolved into something different or went extinct. The apes that are around besides humans today are not “what we came from,” they are more like distant relatives! We just have a common ancestor. The idea that monkeys sort of “leveled up” into a human is called orthogenic evolution, and it’s a misconception that results from a poor understanding or a poor education in the topic. Typically evolution has just been misrepresented to the individual in question so they didn’t have a fair shot at actually understanding how the process works. Evolution is not a perfectionist that’s always trying to make something more complex or smarter - it is a tinkerer, that adapts populations of organisms to their current environment. If you are looking for resources to understand evolution, check out Forrest Valkai, the Renegade Science Teacher! He’s a fantastic educator and he’s incredibly passionate, his enthusiasm is always contagious.

@@neutral.chaotic i actively have nightmares of childbirth, I know that’s literally insane but I’ve been through a lot of trauma. Everyone in the comments saying ItS a ReD FlaG 😂 fuck them kids I don’t think they are concerned for the well being of children I think they are upset people are not fitting to this rigid societal construct like they do, or have been conditioned to do. You shouldn’t have to be “brave” to state you don’t like/want kids. It’s crazy, but it’s getting better.

the tiktok guy is so funny to me because he couldn’t even be bothered to do one single google search about anything before going to a walmart and shoving a mic in people’s faces

[@wideetreee3896]

Kurtis being a taurus just makes sense

[@jordan-my2vl]

he jus like me fr

i’m a taurus and i couldn’t see him being anything else

[@solielsubs4588]

completely unrelated to the video but i love kurtis conner because he looks like a wacky silly goofy dad in the 80’s

Thought you were saying tourists instead of Taurus. Was very confused. 1:34 😅

As a woman who’s family has been telling all my life to have kids and now im 23 with no kids and never will plan to have one, I too like hanging out too much. I feel seen.

I’m losing my mind that he doesn’t believe in evolution and his only concession that IF evolution exists, it is exclusively linear. It’s not like there’s an “end goal” to evolution like bro what

[@franz9850]

So funny to be listening to this episode now that Danny has a kid

[@Tsuki_Polishsig]

My dad always begs me to change my mind about having kids (I’m 15 btw) because he really likes kids and I really don’t. It’s nice to hear that other people have this issue 😭

[@lynncristinne]

Just 15!!!?, damn, that's rough, what that heck your dad it's thinking?

[@thatsdisco]

You're too young to be pressured this way.. your dad is caring more about what he wants from you, a teen, than what he oughta do for you, as a parent. fucking hell...

Hearing Kurtis work his way up to the “Fuck it we bald” felt like an eternity

[@ericaharrison8659]

the fact he brings up Noah and its posted the day he comes out😂

[@sciscapes]

I work in a daycare and I love kids but Kurtis is actually spot on with a lot of this lol. Most parents I interact with are parents for the weirdest reasons. They talk about their kids like they're cute little things to collect and display for other people. They love them while they're babies and then just kind of check out and it's really sad to see. The older I get, the more I think the world just isn't conducive to me ever having my own. And that's coming from someone who grew up really wanting to be a mom.

[@Cory_Springer]

Lol that garrett kid is ridiculous. I'd like to see him doing his thing out in the wild, that would be fun.

[@chaticooked]

Poor Danny he can never see Kurtis again

[@iansesh]

Right. No Danny and Kurt boy collabs ever again😔

This is easily one the best podcast episodes I've ever heard; Every single point you made is so true and relatable. 10/10, brilliant way to start the year, keep it up 👍

[@victoria-freire]

i cannot get over how brilliant the intro is. so well made and funny, perfect length, editing, everything

[@EmeraldJade788]

I tried to Google a picture of Noah Schnapp to picture him as Superman, and that’s how I found out he came out today lmaooo

[@murrenkelly3866]

I’ve seen other people leave similar comments but I’ll say it too. People need to stop pressuring people who are uninterested in having kids to have kids. That’s how you get awful parent-child dynamics and people resenting the hell out of their own families.

[@sarahphillips9644]

Damn kurtis really predicted the future with the Noah schnapp fancast lol

[@LittlebodybigRIZZ]

7:57 Danny watching this: 👁️👄👁️

[@schematticYT]

Okay I was listening to this on Spotify and when he mentioned the cat thing I rushed here to talk about some INSANE takes I saw about him on tiktok. After the cat video came out I saw people LEGIT using him joking about cats sucking to justify their "bad vibes" and being like "omg I always had a bad feeling about this guy, he's totally one of those youtubers who are secretly a bad person, like the stuff he talks about in his videos?? So sketchy, this is proof" and I was sitting there stunned like.. The topics in his videos?? Like, using his platform to dunk on and warn people about shitty racists and misogynists and bigots, and advocate for human rights? His videos where he's pro-choice, pro sex work, pro lgbt rights, the list goes on? Like.. It reminded me of his video about getting cancelled and how people were hoping and looking for reasons to cancel him just because they don't like him? Fuck, man. People need to realize that you're allowed to not like someone without reason. You don't need to wish harm on others to justify disliking someone. Because that's what it is, looking for dirt and proof that someone's done something wrong-- you're looking for proof that they hurt people and you want to weaponize someone else's pain. Idk its weird man Also some cats are assholes I agree

[@mattuwu9978]

The most famous early “in-betweener” with apes and humans that the person forgot the name of is Australopithecus. The earliest A. fossil is named Lucy, found in Ethiopia. She died 3.2 million years ago. A more recent divergent ancestor are Neanderthals. They were heavier, denser, and had thicker skulls than us and went extinct about 40,000 years ago. However, some Neanderthals bred with Homo Sapiens, so there are still traceable amounts of Neanderthal genes today.

no the cat people are correct cuz why do dogs get to hurt people, bite people, jump all over you, and be annoying but when cats just are quiet and keep to themselves they get hated like crazy :/ like why is it normalized to hate cats so much - its so true that people who claim all cats are mean just don't understand consent because cats give plenty of warnings when they don't want to be pet they don't just attack you

[@GhostGreen-uu7en]

poor danny watching kurt say he won’t go to his house anymore

[@Lonelyallie]

I think what people mean when they say it’s a red flag not to like kids is that obviously kids depend on adults so much for care and safety and so obviously if you don’t like someone it’s unlikely that you’ll treat them well and look out for their safety. I don’t think it’s so literal, but also so many people do treat kids so badly unfortunately

[@tobyandahalf]

as a child, i grew up with an extremely abusive stepfather. one of my clearest memories is him chasing little 7/8yo me out of the house with a shotgun. it doesn't matter if it wasn't loaded. in fact, his carelessness with his guns is part of what led him and my mom to lose custody, because he kept them out in the open. he can right now go purchase a gun if he wanted to. but no, regulating weapons is preposterous.

[@Violet_ii]

yall better hide this video from danny fr

[@GenTink]

There's a difference between not wanting to be around kids or enjoy them and going out of your way to shit on and resent kids which is where the red flag comes in. I've met people who revel in being shitty to children and make it a personality. At the same time I understand wanting to push back against the assumption that everyone should want kids.

[@piningforthemoon]

as a cat person who’s had them for my whole life i agree with you. my cat is awful to everyone besides people she knows really well and purposely does things to make me mad 😭

[@jo_n31]

kids are something you need to be 110% sure you can support financially, emotionally, developmentally, and physically. and even if you could do all of those, assure that you WANT to do that. birthing and being responsible for an entire human beings functions isn’t a “i guess i’ll do this” situation, it’s a “i WANT to do this and i know i can”

[@alunoodalmheiri7028]

People havent been taking me seriously for the past 17 years every time i spoke about my reasons for not wanting to ever have children. Lets see them try to respond to "i like to hang out too much". Its GENIUS!
