For me? Oh you bet your sweet ass. I still don’t look my ago. People peg me as late 20s early 30s. I’m almost 40.

Nope. Just 4 years.

“Lean and nimble”

“Moving with a sense of purpose”

“We’re like a family”

“Synergy”

This is an actual event that occurred. While we were engaged for about a year my wife came to my work to drop off some coffee that she had gotten me. So I came from behind the counter took the coffee from her and gave her a quick peck on the lips you know just a quick kiss. And a lady that was coming up to my desk from there looked at that event and said “Oh is that your daughter?”. Now we do live in a very rural part of the southeast United States and if you’re familiar with the stereotypes involving that, that question was just creepy.

People assume I’m my wife’s older brother or friend. They often ask her if she wants her check separate from mine. It drives her insane. She makes a face and snaps “No, my HUSBAND and I are on the same check.”

I’m actually enjoying it a lot. The “you dropped everything when you died” thing is getting annoying though.

That is. Because you stopped owning your games a while back. What you’re actually buying is a limited access license to the software.

Here’s mine.

And for the same reason. This was The Ex and my song. It was a toxic, on again off again, 4 years long thing from when I was 16 til I was 20. It used to be every time it came on I scrambled to skip it, especially if my wife was in the room. Now, I can listen to it if it comes on I just feel a little uncomfortable.

You can train your kids at McDonalds. And while I’d acquiesce about Applebee’s, if alcohol is served, children shouldn’t be. Sure that may limit what you can do as a parent. But I’m sure the joys and triumphs of parenthood will outweigh the loss of having a beer while your child knocks into other customers at the restaurant.

Oh yeah you’re that dude who was commenting on my meme about kids being annoying in a restaurant. I didn’t feel the need to comment there because I had thought “person doesn’t realize that few people have problems with well behaved kids or understand that people know that kids OCCASIONALLY act out.”. But it looks like you’re doubling down.

First, did you see anyone complaining about kids on playgrounds? Play places at fast food restaurants? Public parks? No? That’s because those are places for kids to be running around. Restaurants where adults are trying to relax is not for kids to be running around. Full stop. There is no “but”. YOU need to teach your child that their actions affect those around them.

Secondly, YOU choose to have children and where you take them. If you take them to a place where you know they have the potential to inconvenience the people around them and they do, then you are inflicting them on others and that makes you a bad parent.

And lastly, I can’t even remember the amount of children who stayed at their table, where maybe a little louder than would be necessary but ultimately settled down, or were well behaved and well mannered. But I do remember that the parents of those children were usually well put together and maintained people who seemed to have control over their life. An unruly child who was running around the restaurant is usually a symptom and not the problem.

It is indeed a .ml thing.

Pokemon.

Not big enough to matter.

Cult of the Lamb.

I’ve said this elsewhere before but video games are a commodity and an impulse buy. Very few people view the next video game as an essential purchase for themselves. So sure people can have them and haha about how much the cost of developing a video game has gone up till they’re blue in the face but that is not going to change how the consumer will feel at the register buying the game. If the person at the register does not feel that the price is justified they’re not going to pay it they’re going to wait for a sale, borrow it from a friend if they can get access to physical media, or pirate it.

We hardly live in a fair world, much less just.

I mean, I agree with you.

I’d argue against the first one. As prior it was work any hours asked and the only day off was Sunday. But I see what you’re going for.

Take a pack of hotdogs and dice them up. Open a box of Mac and cheese and follow the instructions, but add the diced hotdogs to the water first.
