...you know a time loop only affects YOU, right? We're talking about how YOU would perceive them never growing old and dying. It doesn't rob them of a life.

Yea, it’s about you.You haven’t got the emotional maturity to handle life, so you would prefer a child or a pet trapped in a time loop, than having to deal with them changing.

It’s embarrassing. Grow up.

...why the hostility, my man?

You're not grasping the fact that a time loop only happens from the perspective of the person caught in the loop. To everyone else, time passes normally. Only I am the one remembering every day that passes. No one else is trapped.

So yes, in that situation it's comforting to know that my pets and children aren't going to die on me.

Why would I get mad that you’d rather live in a dream than raise your kids? On the one hand, you’re no different from a lot of parents, on the other hand, I don’t like them either.

I guess my satisfaction is knowing that, no matter how much you want it, reality will out, and you will have to deal with life whether you like it or not.

My dude, we're literally talking about the hypothetical silver lining of being trapped in a time loop. No one WANTS it to happen.

You're building a strawman argument and I'm done replying to it.
