  • Have you ever considered that you’re wasting everyone’s time by not getting to the point?

    I genuinely struggle to see the point of any of this.

    Clearly, considering you didn’t even check the timing on the messages and see the first one took twice as long (both in time, and in actual messages because half of the second convo are just them thanking each other)


  • Some people will eventually understand that they’re wasting your time (when they clearly have something they want) by waiting for you to answer (and effectively have to wait on them) before they respond with what the ask is when you could have just answered it the first time.

    Those people are just as bad as the ones who just send “hey, can I ask you a question?” and then nothing else until you acknowledge them.

  • I was really worried that this was going to end with “I don’t like them because they got political” and I’m glad it didn’t.

    I wish I could say that it was just a meme, but I’ve literally had conversations where I have had to ask some brainless chud what machine he thought they were raging against, or what forces they thought might have been the ones burning crosses.




  • You young guys have just gone soft because you weren’t abused on a daily basis.

    FTFY

    Older generations love to talk about how hard they were because they were beaten, mistreated, and given brain damage but were too cowardly to standup against it, and can’t stand that the younger generations have the spine to tell you to go back to your home and wait for your children to never visit you.


  • The best thing to arm a child with is feeling comfortable to ask “why”.

    This can be a double edged sword with very talkative or inquisitive kids.

    My kid is too damned smart and wants to know how everything works, so they ask why. But often we don’t know, or they’re not satisfied with the answer and keep asking why. If screens didn’t disregulate them so much I’d go tell them to look it up, but I til then I have to answer the string of 10,000 whys (to later get told I’m wrong by the kid who had no idea what we were talking about 20 minutes ago, and is now an expert despite not looking into it at all …) and mentally scream because I refuse to douse that curiosity, even if I run out of patience for it at times.
