I didn’t want kids. Shit happened. It took about 18 months for me to feel anything for my kid. Those 18 months were a war against sleep deprivation and time deprivation. The wife left a year or two later. Left my kid with me. Single dad shit for the next, well, going on 25 years now. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I’m still sick with guilt bringing a kid into this fucked up world, but I love my kid.

This doesn’t help you, but I also got a vasectomy about 6 months after he was born. I should have done it earlier. My advice to anyone is, don’t have fucking kids. Get a vasectomy ASAP and live your life. Unless you come from big time old money, or get incredibly lucky, kids just add incredible stress and money drain for a minimum of a couple of decades.

What a bummer, direct hit in a commonly held insecurity. I guess the best way to get over it is sleep with her friends so they can see it normal size. Also, your girlfriend fucked up, so she can’t bitch about you doing so and should help it happen. Or have take a picture of yourself fully engaged and from a flattering angle, and have your girl share that. Also, if it needs to be said, don’t let anyone take a picture of you that you wouldn’t want family to see. Ever. One of the firm rules I’ve always lived by.

Top comment on that page is perfect:

One wrote their own operating system incorporating others ideas on operating systems, the other’s mom bought theirs.

“Oh shit, we’re getting hammered with our Constitutional violations all over the news! We have to do something”

A little thinking, then some genius looks across the room

“Hey!! Hegseth, finish that drink and then go threaten Greenland like the alcoholic Nazi you are. That’ll distract them!”

Reddit was shitty, just because it’s people and people suck. But I hung around because…I’m a masochist I guess. I left because of the 3rd party shit. I’ve never gone back. As that great '80s pop band said,“People are people.”

I had to read your comment to realize it wasn’t some cool home-chicken-owner egg holder.

In my experience, it’s just a couple topics that bring out unreasonable assholes. After I spent a little time blocking the assholes, and then using a keyword filter to just skip shit I don’t want to have any interactions with, the experience became much better.

I just read this on another site. So who the fuck really knows what is going on?

The Pentagon also deployed 700 U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton, with a military convoy heading from Twentynine Palms toward the City of Angels.

From the article:

Earlier this week, he also activated 700 marines from the Twentynine Palms base two hours’ drive to the east, describing Los Angeles as a “trash heap” that was in danger of burning to the ground.

The headline says contract, the article says partnership.

I thought you were going to talk about the physical improbability of cumming buckets.

I hate it so freaking much when I’m thrown into nano. I have to quickly exit and fix whatever made that happen.

Every study I’ve seen shows illegal immigrants to be a net positive to the economy, while at the same being responsible for fewer crimes than papered immigrants or regular citizens. I wonder why people are willing to go through such social pain and stupidity to attack them. I mean, aside from racism. We should be working on smoothing the way to citizenship, or at a minimum, legality. That would help address the exploitation that takes place (as you mentioned in another post). On a tangent, we really need to do something about universal health care, housing, and the shitty, hateful state of wages in the country while we are at it.

We have a myriad of fundamental problems in this country, illegal immigrants are just a distraction that get the low-information voters fired up and ignoring the real problems.

The couple of times they tried out roundabouts in my area, they didn’t last long because people were too stupid to figure out how to use them. So instead they just bitched until they were taken out.

My limited experience in my little pocket of the US is that the produce sections have gotten much shittier. There was a great produce store near me that was in business since the '60s, but they closed last year. Maybe that’s what I’m noticing, but all the grocery stores in the area have a pretty shit selection of fresh produce.

Exactly my thought. I had a next door neighbor develop schizophrenia, accuse my roommate and I of talking to him through the electrical sockets, and eventually attack us outside our door. He was taken away.

I don’t even know what anyone means when they throw out “liberal” anymore.

Watching Katie Porter tearfully trying to get a continuence bill even to be voted on in committee regarding this issue was a bit heartbreaking.
