You absolutely don’t have to! Parenthood is not always an instant connection. I loved my child, sure, but they were more like a needy roommate to start off. I developed the bond as we went. It eventually clicked after some months.

And remember: you always love your child– but it’s okay to have times where you just sometimes don’t like them. Especially good to remember during the toddler stage!

Yeah, babies are ugly. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a baby I would consider “cute”. Grody little misshapen potato humans.

Yeah, it’s true.

Honestly, I didn’t even like mine, to begin with. But they grew on me. The hormones had me tolerating all the craziness that small creature put me through.

Love 'em to bits now that they’ve grown past that stage!

As someone who has a child and is also a survivor of abuse: it’s in very poor taste to compare babies to abusers.

Didn’t they take away crowd-sourced subtitles before?

Excellent.

Thank you!

Some woman

Not “some woman” — quite a few women. Lots of women.

Suspenders!

That’s exactly what she told me.

Plus a nice benefit package.

My friend is a technical writer and just lost her job because “chat GPT can do what you do!”

She then informed me that she knew 11 other people who got fired due to the same thing. And now those companies are realizing how badly they fucked up and are frantically trying to rehire.

It’s actually illegal to add money to other people’s parking meters (where I live, at least).

Disgusting that there’s laws against it.

I absolutely adore Moon Channel!

My favorite is the video “Why Are There No Good Christian Games?”

It gave so much more clarity to the lifelong issues I’ve had while growing up Christian.

That’s pretty gross considering exactly why Medusa was cursed to be the way she was in the first place.

Do not allow the tee shirt bots to assimilate here!!

My sisters: “You’re way too picky when it comes to dating!”

Also them: — date dudes with so many personal issues that it ends up driving them up the wall and disrupting their lives with obsessive neediness and constant insecurity —

Me: lol ok.

My standards aren’t even that high. I just live in a shitty conservative town and don’t feel like traveling 1 hour+ just to see a human that might just be trying to hookup even though I clearly say that’s not at all what I’m interested in.

Just give me a stable dude who can communicate well, is secure in their sexuality, doesn’t have a criminal record, likes Stardew Valley, lizards, and is cool with stuffed animals, and I’ll give it a shot.

Diddy Kong Racing.

My last boss told all his employees to invest in crypto, and I believe all of them put a substantial amount into it. He was a country hick who worked machine repair beside me at their shop. Thought he was hot shit because he was a member of a Facebook Q group and thought he was smarter than everyone else because he “knew secrets on a deeper level”. Okay bud.

I left before the end of the year because he stopped scheduling me over a comment I made about another one of his fucking insane conspiracy theories he liked to spout instead of helping with the workload.

Then the crypto crash happened. They went out of business 8 months later. Can’t imagine why!

Eat shit, Wayne. Those gals and that kid working under you deserved better, you cunt.

Comment stolen from user “copygirl” from blahaj.zone:

Looks like they’ll be harvesting your data if you follow anyone from Threads, maybe even injecting ads. Unsure what happens to the data of people that get followed by a Threads user. A large part of the fediverse is here precisely because they want to escape corporate meddling, data-hoarding, advertising and other anti-user malpractices. There’s a number of people talking about this, here’s a recent post that highlights some of the things from their TOS.

Is this some weird stereotype that I’ve been privileged to never hear before?

Actually, don’t answer that. I just want to live in blissful ignorance.

Man… idk… it was all kinds of fucked up.
