It's stupid to assume these people know that Trump said the same thing. There are a shocking amount of his "supporters" who don't follow what he's spewing on social media, so this sort of shit appears to them like complete non-sequiteur insanity.

Instead of this childish "Then what about Trump?" response, just link them to the Trump tweet and be direct. "This is literally what Trump posted about someone else with the name swapped out. (LINK)”

Hahahaha, my toddler is down for her nap. We still have more. This is only a momentary reprieve

Time for a rewatch, it's kinda worse.

Simba: I killed my dad, was exiled on penalty of death, and almost starved to death.

Chucklefucks: Have you tried eating bugs and positive thinking?

longer write upSimba thinks he killed his father. Then some killers chase him away from his home and everything he's ever known. Then he nearly starves to death.

These two fuckers charge up on a lark, just looking for kicks by scaring buzzards, only barely stopping to care when one notices he's still breathing, and only then because they want to use him as their personal bodyguard.

Then they tell his starving carnivore ass to eat some bugs, and finally the "have you just tried shutting the fuck up and ignoring your trauma?"

They said they didn't understand, so I explained.

The heat was directed at a different user and added via an edit after the initial comment was made, because that other user threw vague ass shade instead of saying what they meant to begin with (that I was wrong about the origin of the term tankie and that it was lazy to not check my spelling, so clearly my point amd that of others saying similar wasn't worth anything).

One of the core tenets of getting a good lemmy experience is to block early and often. If you think my response of describing what people mean when they call the main devs tankies was somehow too political, then please block me. And memorize where that button is, because I guarantee this is nothing compared to the folks actually trying to make points politically around here, lol.

... maybe? It's "anger powered jet packs" from an ancient meme image that I'm not sure the source of:

Oof, I always forget about that last one.

That comes from magazines and TV where there's money hiring cleaning crews you don't see or something.

I have some extended family making bank in oil trade, very wealthy, and it's such a trip listening to them talk about life.

Nannies for their kids that come to them. Grocery delivery. Delivery of almost everything, rarely go to the store themselves. House cleaners/maids that do everything. Landscapers. People to drive their kids to and from extracurriculars. Notice each of these is plural. The only thing I can think of that they don't have is a chef.

And they try to be down to earth, but their scale is skewed. Like they get thay most people have less time, but they expect the average person to still have like half the time they do, rather than like 1/10th at best.

They have so fucking much free time, and they use it to keep their marriage and family strong. Date nights every week. Multiple family game nights each week. Both of the parents have rich social lives of their own, hobbies they have time to pursue.

It's astounding just how much of a difference the amount of free time available to them (due to having people to take care of the constant neverending life stuff for them) makes to their quality of life. Most direct example I've ever seen of the difference wealth can make.

And their house always looks "HGTV ready".

Really buddy? You've had plenty of responses to your previous posts about your rich life. You are rich. Very rich. It's past time to accept that and move on with your shit.

If you actually feel any guilt or uncomfortableness about it, instead of posting stupid bait, go do something with your privilege to help those who don't have it.

You posted this in the wrong community. Shower thoughts is not for questions.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

No, that's rich.

So to be clear, your answer is "No, I don't have anything beyond a weak as hell ad hominem based off of entirely imagined character traits and motivations."

What are you actually trying to say when you claim I have a lack of curiosity in the matter? Don't be chickenshit. If there's something you believe is false about what I said, be out with it.

Otherwise you're welcome to fuck off.

Nomura's done it again! I love Kingdom Hearts.

I'm so sorry that the lack of two ddg searches ruins my argument for you.

It's even more telling that your only counter to my comment was to attack minor problems.

Edit: I've edited my comment. Do you have anything of actual value to say now?

 

Honestly? That's rookie numbers.

 

Definitely a repost, but it fits the season

My daughter is a little over two, and through well meaning family and friends we have more toys than we know what to do with.

My wife keeps buying what are essentially (fancy looking) big boxes and just dumping everything in them. Love my wife, but that's not working, it's just hiding some of the mess in a box.

We end up with these hardly ever opened boxes full of unorganized piles of toys that we end up having to dig through to find anything specific, and the toys that my daughter is actively using just end up scattered around the floor so they don't disappear into the box dimension.

Every once in a while my daughter opens and digs through the boxes and dumps half the contents on the floor anyway (not like she can see specific things to grab what she wants) and then we just kind of arbitrarily choose some of it to put back in the box and a new combination of mess to leave out.

Unfortunately we have another baby on the way, so I'm probably not getting my wife to let us toss any of it right now.

I'm leaning towards cubby shelves with individual bins for different "types" of toys like her daycare does, but I wanted to hear what strategies other parents tried, and what has and hasn't worked.
