Having a children is a choice (for most)

For the kind of people who are bitching about taxes on the internet, yes. But I would continue to argue that the ability to choose the size and shape of one's family is a first-world luxury - I do not think "most" women have access to the reproductive freedom choices that I do.

There are Nerds on my keyboard. I suspect Owen's been into the Halloween candy.

In other first-world luxury news, man builds smartphone dock into his prosthetic arm.

(My first thought when I saw that was "Dang, I wish I were a cyborg." My second thought was "What's he going to do when his contract runs out?")

Because books.

My second thought was "What's he going to do when his contract runs out?"

Ah, true. Still, I'd assume one upgrades a phone more often than an arm.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
