Antinatalism

Stoulram: create page

all life eventually comes to an end.

we can have those happy moments, those memories. but eventually one day we'll die and be forgotten through time and history.

why have a kid if that's the reality?

at the same time, life isn't all hopeless. there are many things that bring purpose. helping people, making a positive difference in people, bringing people back on their feet.

but having a child in my viewpoint is one of the most selfish things you can do.

i'm writing this blog because a few years down the line, I want to remember why I felt this way back in my 20s.

No one in life is rigid, people change over time. Some people change their life for the better. Get rid of old habits, focus on career/business opportunities. Others can become worse. Get into gambling, cheating, drugs.

Same goes for me. As humans we change our viewpoint over time with time and experiences. But something that I've always thought of since my early teens is questioning the reason why we're here in the first place.

What is the meaning of life?

Some use religion, some use astrology. I've always had a very realist viewpoint on life. Life starts at birth. The reason we're all here is because your parents made the deliberate decision to have sex and reproduce.

I grew up in a conservative family and my Mom would repeatedly blame me for coming into her body whenever she feels tired of kids. Being grown in this environment also contributed to shaping my antinatalist views.

But the truth is everyone is impacted by society and values. Society has made it seem that having kids is just what everyone does and we shouldn't question it. I've always asked myself why that is?

Having kids is one of the biggest decisions you can take in your life.

How To Become Financially Independent

Stoulram: Add some more information about the seciton

= Increase Income =
The first step to becoming financially independent is to first increase your income. You can do that by getting a job and negotiating your offer.

I’ve always been appalled with how people say how much people say that money doesn’t matter in life. But the more I grow up, I realize that while money isn’t the most important thing in life (that being time and health), it does matter a lot in every other sense. Having money means you get to live a very stable life and don’t need to worry about basic things like affording rent, having food on the table, etc. Me being a first-gen American, I’ve been taught many tips by parents to save as much money as possible. I wanted to share some of these tips I learned over the years so that I have it for my own records when I look back on this.

= What is Financially Independent Retire Early (FIRE) =
I don’t want to spend too much time on this section but did want to at least talk a little bit about it. The FIRE movement is th.

= Spending Less =
Living a frugal life is one of the easiest ways to FIRE quickly. People in westernized countries have this illusion that they need to spend money on getting the latest things. You need to buy the latest gadgets, the latest fashion dresses, etc. Also companies are even pushing for planned obsolescence where they purposefully make things last not as long to keep consumers from buying new things. In this section, I’m going to detail the best money saving tips that I follow and how I’ve been able to increase my net worth quickly.

== Living with Parents or Sharing Rent ==
The #1 way to save money is not live by yourself. Paying for a 1b1b unit is one of the most expensive things you can purchase each month. Instead of that, you should consider living with parents (if you still can) or finding roommates you can split rent/groceries/utilities with.

== Cooking your own food ==
Instead of constantly eating out or Doordashing food, learn how to cook. Go to the grocery store and buy ingredients in bulk. Costco and Aldi are both great options for discount food and stuff like rice and grains are stuff you can buy in bulk. Buy veggies whole instead of pre-chopped and once you get home, chop it up and store it in airtight containers so that they last. Also for anything you cut, instead of throwing away old scraps, freeze them or compost them so you can reuse them for stock or use them as fertilizer to grow your own herbs at home.

== Tips when Eating Out ==
Of course, not everyday you’re going to feel like cooking. There’s times where you may want a change or if you’re traveling you won’t have much of a choice unless you know someone in the area and they’re willing to take care of you for your entire stay. In that case, try going to events where they’ll give free food. When I graduated college, I still continued going to random free events on campus just because they had free food. Most of the time it’s Moe’s or Pizza which is fine every now and then. Of course health is the #1 priority so you don’t want to eat too much unhealthy food or supplement it with tons of veggies. Along the same lines, anytime you do go out, you should carry with you an empty lunchbox. This is one of the easiest ways to take advantage of free events. I’ve seen so many times how much food gets wasted during those events which is why I don’t feel bad doing so. So what I usually do is, I take an extra plate worth of food and then when I’m at a nearby table, I take out my empty lunchbox and fill it up with that. Then once I get home, I can keep it in my fridge or freezer to enjoy later.

Stoulram: create this page

Hello World!

My name is stoulram.

This isn't really a wiki but more like a blog site for documenting my own personal life, various tips/tricks, and just sharing cool stuff :3

# How I got into wikis
I've always been into contributing to internet communities. I actually created this alt account because I wanted to get more involved with internet fandoms I've been involved with (without my employer and irl friends knowing lol).

I've been on-and-off with editing various fandom wikis and later wiki.gg and really passioante about sharing information about games online with the whole Internet.

Some wikis I've worked on in the past include:
- [https://slarpg.wiki.gg/](https://slarpg.wiki.gg/)
- [https://slider.wiki.gg/](https://slider.wiki.gg/)

# How I'm hosting this
- Mediawiki on a Google Cloud Platform VM instance
- Free tier
- MariaDB for database

# Why am I using MediaWiki if this is basically a blog
- I want to focus less on the coding aspect and more on writing
- Since I'm already so familiar with MediaWiki and syntax, I thought this would be a great option.
- Also wanted to challenge myself with hosting MediaWiki by itself since it's very customizable.
- Gives me old Internet vibes
