Brothers stand up (and commit virtual arson) for sisters!
She omitted the reason, though. Anyways, it doesn't matter why, his big sister was crying, her little brother came to her aid...by burning down a Minecraft town! Chaotic good little brother.

100K would be enough for me to seek my dream job instead of scraping and scrounging. Get a passport and ply my skills world wide instead of just across teh same city I've lived in for two decades. That's what I would do.

Load More Replies...Or runs a company that has probably received millions in grants, tax-breaks and free government handouts, but you should keep working hard for that $2K!!!

I don't know who she is, but I'll take a random who was this smart over either of the two running this year...
Load More Replies...My sister used to wait and wait and wait until someone got up and then she'd ask for something. I think she would have been completely dehydrated before she would get up for something to drink. IDK if she's still like that, but she had a husband she can pull that on. She did it to me for long enough!! I'm hoping she "grew out" of that.
That's just plain brilliant - I wouldn't even be mad if that happened to me....
For those who perhaps didn’t know, the term meme didn’t used to mean what it means now. The word’s origin is, like so many things, ancient Greek, but was properly introduced into English by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. He argued that ideas, concepts and cultural norms could “travel” and spread much like a virus.
The more modern iteration of the word most likely comes from 1993, in a Wired article by Mike Godwin. He posited that the internet had sped up Dawkins’ idea. After all, people could now share images and ideas so much faster than ever before.
In Australia we had (don't know, it may still be a thing) hire-a-hubby. I think it was odd job handyman thing. Get the right "hubby" and they'd probably be happy to go with.
Load More Replies...We have a group of retired and semi-retired blokes near us who’ll do the little DIY jobs around your home that require either skills or tools to do, they’ll accompany people to appointments or trips to the garage and give you a lift back home, they work with our local repair club who fix small appliances that are broken, all round a great bunch of chaps, and all done for donations to the local hospice and a children’s charity. You provide the cups of tea too though 😀😂
I took my car savy sister to a used cars shop. They tried to sell us a dangerously damaged car. Took my car stupid male ex next. They didn't even talk to me.
"Hourly husband" is a job here in CZ. Basically handy middle-aged blokes who'll do any kind of odd job. I'm sure they'd do this but I assume they keep up a patronising running commentary telling you what you're doing wrong at the same time.
I'll take that over being cheated any day. I'd cout it as a fee on my patience, which is more affluent than my wallet (a REALLY low bar, but still...)
Load More Replies...DM me and I'll give you my dad's number! He's an engineer and never gets hosed!
I have an older friend like that, in his early 60's. Always giving good life advices
Same, or people that get scammed buying cars with issues.

Chopping wood to feed the fireplace in my house. That stove was the only source of heat. I'm old and grew up in a very remote corner of the world.
Load More Replies...I can't tell if you are joking or not. Younger generations really might not know since most of us learned about the concept of family friendly TV shows...in the land of TV suburbia, kids would be assigned "chores.". These were simple jobs they could do that helped the family and earned the kid a small amount of spending money. Usually the chores included cleaning their room, and might also include setting the table before family meals and helping to clear the table after, and maybe taking out the garbage. The parent would then give the kid a dollar every Saturday. Or 5 dollars on TV shows in the 90's.
Load More Replies...Speaking with husband about this totally flipped my view of the USA and how rare allowances were.
Mine eventually got up to $5 a week (mid 1990s), plus my parents gave me $3 a day to get lunch in high school.
Load More Replies...I had to do dishes, make Ice cubes (there were ice making fridges, but Nooooo), make iced tea (the South), clean the bathrooms and do my own laundry. As soon as you graduated high school, you better have a plan in place, bc you're OUT of the house (I left at 17 and finished my senior year commuting from my grandmothers house 2 cities over). My dad was a fairly awful person (still is)
I got a quarter every two weeks when I was in 4k. Gum was 30 cents. I wanted a five cent raise. I asked. Mom said she’d ask my little friends how much allowance they got. None of them had heard the term allowance. Damn market research. Damn corporate greed.
From age 9 I was allowed to live there and do every chore no matter how much school work I had. I was also forced to run up and down stairs while my father menaced me at the bottom, daily.
I also did chores because I lived there and not to get paid. But I do have 7 younger get siblings so even if we did get an allowance it would add up to a lot for my parents!
What’s so bad with an iPhone 6? A newer model would be nice, but its not the worse thing in the world.
It's because Apple users give a c**p what you have. I've had a xiaomi android for years and no-one noticed
Load More Replies...I'm over here rockin' an 4 year old Android and perfectly happy with it. I use my phones until they roll over and die. Even when I was still working and making bank I didn't understand my co-workers running out and spending crazy money every time a new iPhone came out. The fact that I despise Apple also has something to do with it.
I think Apple is fine, particularly yellow delicious.
Load More Replies...You all can keep all of your up to date phones. I am not going into dept for the latest phone. To me it is stupid to pay over a thousand dollars or more for a stupid phone.
I searched for a new phone because I want a better camera. When I saw the the prices I thought "that's an effing laptop"
Load More Replies...How do you ID a phone model from across the bus? All smart phones look the same to me. Basic rectangles with rounded corners. I couldn't even guess if it's Apple or Android.
Apple snobs like the OP know the exact lens layout/backside of all their Apple products so they can judge each other.
Load More Replies...Give me an unlocked android from Argos any day! Have had my Motorola for almost 5 years. Nowt wrong with it. Will keep it going til the day it dies.
My cell phone is 8 years old. And it still works fine. If you judge me for it I'll take your picture with the awesome camera it has. :)
He gets half of the closet? I get a quarter of one of the master bedroom closets and half of the spare bedroom closet. When you get married, do not move into one or the other's home, they have already claimed their territory and the other has to squeeze in where they can. Find a new home, both move, and y'all can negotiate about territory. I am happily married, but there is the occasional annoyance. Live and learn, if you live long enough to learn.
Load More Replies...I honestly don't even get the idea. We are a couple, a unity, so our economy is shared. My income is more stable (employed), so mortgage, utility-bills, insurance and other important monthly bills are paid through my account. What's left goes to groceries, clothes, my own car and fun if there's left. My partner's (self-employed) account pays for savings, holidays and larger expenses we managed to safe up to. And groceries, if I happen to run out due to some unexpected costs. Or we transfer some funds to each other whenever there's need.
If you have a joint checking account, your money is already paying a portion of the rent, because you and your husband pool your money in the one account, and it becomes “our” money. Now, this all goes out the window if you don’t have a joint account. In that case, you two need to figure out a comfortable split of household expenses between yourselves. The most equitable split would be proportionate to your earnings. For instance, if one spouse earns twice as much as the other spouse, then the split should be 2/1, with the higher earning spouse paying 2/3 of the bills and the lower earning spouse paying 1/3. To split everything down the middle and make the lower earning spouse pay 50% is absolutely unfair to them, as they have so little left over, as opposed to the higher earning spouse, who’s getting a real bargain by cheating their spouse out of a huge chunk of the little they earn. 50-50 only works if you both make the same amount.
bro, if you get a shared house or a house with someon, just pay your side of the rent, it's not hard if you can't get your own dam house-
My adult kids have dropped into my workplace to have lunch with me a few times, not because they want to see their mum, but because they want to meet all the people they've been hearing about for the past 20 years.
I had a friend who worked as a teacher for young kids, I'm child-free and avoid them. She'd call me from the classroom and I could hear the chaos going on. I'd end up a twitching mess in the corner if I had to go to work with her. I got anxiety just hearing the noise on the phone.
Nooo I do not want to spend one of my leave days going to someone else's work!
It would be fun if you came to our office, we have cake, coffee, flamingos, an emotional support sloth plushie, and some very nice people with many stories to tell
Load More Replies...I don't think I've ever heard that first week on a job feeling described so accurately.
bro, that show is what it's like having depression for real-
Load More Replies...Yeah but I always end up being the new character that kicks the show into overdrive just when things were getting stale.
It might, but I love the opportunity to be a new character, with no past to drag you down. Although joining in season 1 is probably more fun.
bro, no one likes that new character, most definitely if they think they run it-
I had to bring my kid to one off my first classes. He took my syllabus and drew a picture of my instructor. That teacher still uses that copy of the syllabus in his class. He shows off my kid's picture and give extra credit to anyone who draws another picture of him.
I modeled in art classes years ago. Yep, nekkid. A student brought her 4-year-old. He ignored me and drew trains. Sounds age appropriate to me. 😂
Load More Replies...I had to take my daughter to class once. Someone brought up the tooth fairy. After class the woman apologized to me and said she hoped she hadn't ruined it for my daughter. My little one grabbed the woman's hand and said, it's ok I just pretend to make my mom happy
Believe me, I don't like pointing this out, but that 5 yo kid is actually 26 now. 😲😲
Load More Replies...Interesting, on topic, and added value. Extra points awarded to her house.
Great teachers. My early teens daughter would go with me, read the homework assignments and participate in class. Frequently, she was the smartest person in class. The profs loved her. She was
… a great college student. Magna cum laude (like mom.)
Load More Replies...ADHD makes me think of shiny things and not dumb human questions-
Load More Replies...Definitely in my case! I've got about 3 syllables of what you said (and I definitely heard one of them wrong) and a few vowel sounds in between, and my brain is flipping through all the vocabulary and common phrases I know like an AI generator trying to fit all those sounds into a sentence that makes sense in context. The fact that it only takes me a second after saying "huh?" is a f*****g miracle lol
Load More Replies...My son says huh all the time. I know he hears me. He's just processing. Drives me nuts.
I tell people that I need time to come up with good answers, so I might come up with comments in a meeting for things that were said 10 minutes ago. If they are good comments, I don't let that stop me.
That's my mom every day. She does have hearing aids now, but she got so used to doing that when she couldn't hear well she can't help herself.
I looked up the video, and it is very moving. The chimp that got released and turned back to hug Jane Goodall is a downright tear-jerker. But this image isn't quite what it seems. The tiger is actually afraid, and swats with his murder mittens a few times before comprehending that it's free and not being mistreated again.
Load More Replies...Yes. Very sad. The Tiger is definitely scared. I hope he is doing well now.

I saw the grass, the strange glow and the expression, so I read "set on fire".
I've seen that video too. The look on the lion's and the bear's faces is utter awe, "Am I in heaven?"
I went to an “academically selective high school” and was bottom of that particular tier AS WELL as being weird AF. I see my ex-classmates on the news giving expert opinion on international economic policies while I am, for the most part, a housewife. I’d kinda like to be invited to the odd Tupperware party now and then 😆
In my high school yearbook I got "Most likely to win the Nobel Prize", "Most Likely to be abducted by aliens", and "Best Legs". The other two didn't pan out... Yet... But the last one still holds true at 43yo.
Id like a picture essay of all of those voted "Most likely to be abducted by aliens"

Marry that man, but drive yourself everywhere. And take out a _big_ life insurance policy out on him...
Load More Replies...Reckless driving is just another form of mental abuse, no different than punching walls next to a woman's head.
And it goes back beyond motor vehicles, see Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, where the heroine compares the carriage driving skills of her two admirers
In fact people (not just women) find drivers who are considerate and safe more attractive than those who are reckless. What? You are thinking about others and ensuring those children are safe? You are driving safely and ensuring that your passengers can enjoy the ride and watch the interesting things that surround them instead of holding on for dear life? You’ll do me. Thank you.
I am so glad I got out of the dating game before that became a thing. But I would like to think my response would be "ew, gross, I think you need to see a doctor"
Load More Replies...When I squeezed my ex's leg during all those times he took a turn too fast, hit an exit ramp at the last minute, or weaved into traffic and cut someone off ...it wasn't bc I was turned on.
THIS. A thousand times this! My boyfriend is not allowed to race anyone or road rage when I'm in the car. If he wants to do that sh!t, we'll be driving separately
One of my old boyfriends used to do this... And drive while texting. I refused to get in the car with him until he understood from myself and his parents that there are other people in the car and you are responsible for their lives and the lives of others when driving.
Whenever I see the speeding, the changing three lanes in one move, the engine revving, etc...I turn to the nearest human and deadpan say "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm sexually aroused now"
Yes yes yes! I cannot buy things online on my phone, which I am completely competent at using, I instead must use my laptop because, well um, you know, the ahh bigger screen means I won’t muck it up, I’ll see things better, it’ll be a more legitimate purchase
I refuse to enter any credit card information into my phone. If my phone is stolen am I gonna rely on Samsung's engineers to keep that data safe? No way!
Load More Replies...A lot of websites are not properly optimized for mobile use (sometimes on purpose to promote installing their app): ads blocking content, buttons jumping around on automatic page reloads, cookie pop-up preventing scrolling, button just outside of the screen etc… Sure there are ways to deal with all these issues, or you could install the app, but it’s faster to just grab a laptop. :p (also my phone is *tiny*)
Tiny buttons on most mobile apps don't work with my normal sized fingers so I don't even bother
Load More Replies...I bought a car on my phone. All the paperwork and they delivered it.
I browse BP on my mobile using the app, not the website, which works fine, until you want to edit or delete a comment, then I'd have to go to the website to do it, which is a bit inconvenient. I corrected a post once by replying to my original post, and got called out by someone, saying something like 'you know you could just edit your original post, right?' Charming.
Maybe he's a villain because Linguini was the rightful owner of the restaurant and he knew about it and still took over the place and didn't treat him right.🤔
If you own a restaurant, and seen a rat in your kitchen or restaurant, wouldn't you want to get rid of it also? Plus it could be a health violation. Don't get me wrong, I like the movie myself. Just pointing out the reality in real life.
It's actually a "confit byaldi" created by Michel Guerard (father of cuisine minceur aka "spa cuisine") and is a lighter and fancier version of the traditional stewed ratatouille. A tian, while similar in appearance with shingled vegetables, is typically arranged in rows in a rectangular dish instead of a spiral in a round dish, and often has a gratineed top. I know, the differences seem minor, but they are seen as two different preparations as the French are particular.
Load More Replies...Judgemental based in appearances. Twenty years ago we could’ve chuckled. Nowadays in Offended World you are generalising and spreading hate.

When I'm recycling or trying to save water or things like that, I wonder what millionaires are doing to save the planet. Do they let their lawn go dry in a drought, etcetera?
SOOOOOO true!!!! You could buy another country with her ticket sales.
Yup. I’m so glad I didn’t become a world-famous musician like I wanted to do as a kid! Hollywood is full of hypocrites and I’m not interested in being part of their self-aggrandizing hypocrisy.
Also Kim Kardashian who flew from LA to France the other day just to go and get something from a bakery and go home again.
Banning plastic straws and single-use paper bags (like "recycling" cardboard) is just evil greenwashing, lots of inconvenience for very little achievement, all part of the master plan to convince you saving the planet isn't worth it, and it's all your fault anyway, while Big Oil and Big Plastic continue destroying it.
Yeah, but is Taylor really the problem? I kinda think there are far more guilty people out there.
She's part of the problem. We all are though, until we end our addiction to fossil fuels.

I mean, what's the chance of TWO serial killers being out tonight?
Load More Replies...I work in a remote area outside of my city, like half an hour down the road that literally goes to only the one place, and on my way I see a guy running. I don’t know where he came from cause there was no path, he just ran down a mountain, and I’ve no clue where he was going. Anyway his name is now Cotten eye Joe. I now realise that this is not related in the slightest but thanks for listening to my long and random story I guess
Where did he come from and pray tell, where did he go?
Load More Replies...I love driving around Los Angeles at all hours of the night. Very peaceful, and there’s little traffic. I’ve been doing this for over 40 years to clear my head.
When I worked really odd shifts and would get off at 1:30 am or later I would often think about the same things. Friday and Saturday's the bars close at 2:00 am so I would think okay somebody is having an party or night out. But when it was Mon - Thurs then I would wonder if it was some other poor dumb bastard working the weird shifts like me.
Like when you're off work to go to the dentist you wonder what all the other people are doing out. Don't they work. Then it hits you...

Meme: Why are you tailgating me at 55mph in a 25 zone? and those flashing lights on your roof don't help.
I've thought this!!! "Me doing this is normal... but why are you out here, too??"
“You’re awfully quiet this evening.” “Thank you. Wish I could return the compliment”
Load More Replies...but its considered rude if you ask in return: "why are you talking so much?"
I say it anyway....usually shuts them right up.
Load More Replies...Best to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.
Same with "are you sad? You look sad. Did something happen?" I started replying with "That's just my face!"
I am an extremely talkative person, and my whole childhood I wished that people would notice and acknowledge when I was upset and not talking. Now I have a bestie who actually notices when I'm being unusually quiet and asks if I'm okay, and it's the best thing in the world.
I'm such a talkative person that one time in class someone made a comment I found offensive and I didn't acknowledge or give a polite laugh at it, and my friends could actually tell how pissed off I was from my silence lol. I'm also such a talkative person that I write long replies to my own long comments on BP posts.
Load More Replies...Yes, "if you don't have anything nice to say, come and sit by me". Oh no that wasn't Thumper's mother was it ..
Load More Replies...this is said when we all play among us and we use this as the reason as to why we are a crewmate
That could easily be an extrovert ask8ng the question to an introvert or it could be a neurotypical asking a neurodivergent. In either case (which i am both introverted and neurodivergent) the introvert/neurodivergent person usually won't actively participate in a convo unless they have something pertinent to say. Otherwise they just sit there and observe/listen
If I’m quiet, it’s because i’m either lost in thought or listening to what others have to say!
If I had a nickel for every time someone from Florida kidnapped a scientist to make their dog immortal, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
I would pay anything for that kind of upgrade for my dog. Even if he just lasted the length of my life.
Florida Woman...Looks like there's a new addition to Florida Man's Injustice League.
Is there something in the water in Florida? So many crazy stories. But what kind of scientist?

Your brother is the protagonist of every movie from the 80s that didn't star Bruce Willis
I used to work for a place that required "All hands on deck" for special events. Even if it was your day off. Yeah I was going to work a six day week for that BS. No sarcasm I actually did it. I'd never do it again and I'll never let an employer talk me into that again. I'm calling in sick and if you fire me, you better be ready to hire someone else.
I worked for a large hotel chain and was switching from part time in the dining room to full time in catering the day after I graduated from high school. Big convention that day with a very early morning start time. Tried to tell my new boss " but I am graduating", he said show up or look for another job. I respected that and headed out early and my car broke down. I was walking the rest of the way and the General Manager saw my uniform, stopped and drove me the rest of the way. Needless to say, I didn't get in trouble, whew!!
Load More Replies...I once worked at a place that had weekly meetings every Wednesday. Wednesday was my only actual scheduled day off, I I worked 6 days a week with a 1.5 hour commute by public transport, obe way. I got reprimanded after being a no-show for a month for these mandatory meetings. I told them what my day off was, per THEIR schedule. They wouldn't change it as it was the only available for me at that time. I didn't stay long after that. The meetings weren't as long as my commute.

Technically, he wasn't stealing. It was THEIR error. If it went to court, there's a possibility he'd get to keep it...
Load More Replies...Calling BS on this. No HR department is gonna approve that without contacting the supervisor
I dunno. My workplace offered overtime hours. You could work as much or as little as you wanted. I came in on my day off, signed into the clock system and went to my desk. The only other person on my team that day could be a real ah when he was in a mood. He said something rude to me and I clocked out 5 minutes after clocking in to let him deal with every supervisor call by himself. When I got my next check, I was surprised to see that I was paid until for twenty four extra hours. Apparently clocking out in five minutes broke the computer's brain. No one ever noticed
Load More Replies...Thing is, $23,000 isn't going to go very far these days...he'll have to resurface sooner rather than later...and while it's not that big a sum of money, it'll take ages to pay it back once he gets out of jail.
The error was on the part of the business, not him - he didn't steal it. Once the money hits his account, it's legally his. It was transferred legally, after all. I don't think this would be considered theft from a legal point of view.

I'm 44 who looks more than a decade younger. I have rosacea and haven't used chemicals on my face since ages because that's my trigger. That's the trick ladies to look young. Do not plaster your face with weird things. However the last three who were hitting on me were 8, 18 and 22 years younger... So it can be also a problem sometimes.
In a nutshell. Women have been asked if lost in the woods would they choose a man or a bear. Men are butt-hurt that women are choosing the bear.
If you lock yourself out of your phone and you do not have the receipt where you purchased it, then you are absolutely f****d unless you have that box. I don't know why people tell others to throw the box away WITHOUT TELLING THEM THIS FIRST.
History has shown, having the box an item comes in can increase it's value down the track.
I'm a gen x and I still have to force myself to throw away perfectly good, ones and bags
It’s very handy if you end up selling the phone and need to put it in the mail.
And this is why collectibles are more valuable with boxes. AND why it's easier to move with original boxes, like for TVs or sewing machines cause it still has the Styrofoam cut to shape :)
True, I keep my funko pops in box and my other anime figures as well, only some I take out of box bc I have to

Feom memory the German BP Contigent has said otherwise in the past.
It is definitely not a normal German phrase. It‘d be understood, and likely elicit a laugh, but nothing more. German - English misunderstandings are always funny. My favourite was when a ~ 14 yo American friend told me about how JFK had messed up his speech when visiting Germany and had said, "I am a jelly doughnut." I was utterly confused until I put 1 and 1 together: JFK had said, "I am a Berliner" as in a person from Berlin, which is grammatically correct. However, a Berliner is also a type of pastry similar to doughnuts.
Load More Replies...In the rural US we have a similar custom! You say "Welp," while bringing your open palms down on your lap and standing up. The proper response for the visitor is to stand as well and say, "Well, I guess I should be going."
We have several of those in English: "Wow, it's getting really late. "I've got to get to bed, early day tomorrow." "Been great seeing you, but it's time to call it a night." "Yeah, I'm tired and ya'll probably need to be heading home." "Get the hell out of my house."
I'd be very interested in hearing this phrase in German, since I use the language every day and can't imagine what it is.
Wrong, but have a real one for laughs: A bit of an outdated and colloquial term, but in German, you could refer to glasses as a 'nose bicycle‘ :) And a bicycle itself can also be called 'wire donkey'.
A nice German proverb is: "Geh mit Gott, aber geh!" (Go with god, as long as you go / leave). "I am feeling visited enough" would be translated as: "Ich fühle mich genug besucht", which is no proverb.
I loved my time spent studying at the Univerisat Trier in the early 90's. While out one night, discussion turned to pets. Asked one of my friends "Hast du ein Vogel?" (Do you have a bird?). German friends informed me that I just asked him if he was crazy. Yes, I still use this today - someone cuts me off in traffic "DO YOU HAVE A BIRD, BUDDY?"
Nah man you go like "So!" slap on your knees and get up - the visitors often get up, too and maybe also slap their knees and everyone knows its over. Same you can do when you want to leave. Slap knees, go like "So!" and they know you want to leave and will leave xD
A good reason to book a hotel/motel room. Plus you can get often get a basic breakfast as part of the deal (unlike Air BednBreakfast ... lol)
If there's no breakfast, it's just an AirB.

I would rather stay somewhere that is regulated properly, a hotel, motel or a holiday home that is a registered business and follows the industry regulations.

I would never just go knock on someone's door and say hey can I stay here for a little while so I would never just go stay in some random person's house where they have freedom to put cameras or whatever else in it.

No $1.000 iBook... Make your own list. Let me know.
Please stop this nonsense it's not to do with that 😑 stop blaming people from the past for your future! The government's are loving the fact that generations are blaming eachother instead of focusing on them. They hike taxes, don't increase wages, inflation balloons up, they let amazon and eBay etc... away with tax evasion. Boomers, x gen, millenials, gen Z and future generations shld come together and tell the governments around the world we have had enough! They are to blame not us! They are greedy and entitled and don't care who they hurt, enough is enough!
I never ate lunch, wasn't hungry until later in the day so I'd get a venti Starbuck's which I enjoyed immensely instead. Used to catch all kinds of hell from this one particularly ignorant buttwipe about wasting money on "fancy" coffee. Uh, nope: saving a ton every week on lunch.
It adds up though. I was buying 3 coffees a work day for a total of $15. Bought a $300 coffee machine instead which makes just as good a coffee, actually better because I make it exactly how I want it. Coffee machine paid for itself after 20 days and now saving over $3,000 a year by doing that.
People love to laugh at the 'avocado toast' jokes as a way to ignore they fact they waste a lot of money. It isn't the $7 coffee. It's the $7 coffee, the eating out, the uber food deliveries instead of cooking your own, the $10 pack of smokes etc - repeated several times a week - for years. It may not buy your house but it might be the down payment. Down payment when I bought my house was $10K at the time IIRC. I make my own espresso at home for pennies - save lots from when I used to frequently get it at stands. And for the record, I do make my own avocado toast - haha. I just happen to like avocado sandwiches.
You can give it a shot at 28 but you are really going to have to make that budget stretch

Load More Replies...My wife and I are child free. Been together 23 years and honestly it's the best decision we've made. After all, there is no shortage of people on the planet. When you consider we're heading into a climate apocalypse and every kid brought into the world will grow into an adult who needs a job, a home, a car and most likely a family of their own, it just makes sense not to add to the problem. As Doug Stanhope once said (and I'm paraphrasing somewhat): "you could drive a fleet of Hummers all day as you carelessly throw Styrofoam out the window and you wouldn't impact the climate as much as bringing yet another kid into the world". Also, we will be able to retire in our late 50s because we haven't had to put a tribe of kids through day care/high school/college etc.
I have 2 sons. Decided that was PLENTY. Got my tubes tied during the c-section of last one (thought I'd have to FIGHT my OBGYN bc he said, and I quote 'your tubes look too pretty to tie!!'. I was an RN working with him at that point so I said ' you better but em, tie em, BURN em for all IGAF or else YOU are paying for the next one!!". Per hospital policy, I had to get my HUSBAND to sign off on it... Aholes. we divorced about 10 years later - still very good friends, he just wanted different things than I did *And no, it was not more kids*. I married a man who never had kids and at 53, he's been my kids step dad for 10 years now and considers them 'his' boys too. Now that they are all graduated and working/ trying to get into med school, we have dogs. 7 Jack Russells that live better than I do. But they're our 'kids' together
Brb, I'm off to start a TikTok career as a chat-up artist with "Your tubes look too pretty to tie".
Load More Replies...Easy.... I only met my bf (who is the father of my kids) when I was 28. Then a few years of sort of finding out who we are as a couple and then starting to have kids. Now I'm 40 and have 3 kids and they are cool. Sure, I don't get to have my breakfast to myself and I get to wipe a$$ on a daily basis..... but I just get happier about them every day. This week we are having Summer vacation, me and 3 kids as bf is still working. Lil-kid wants to decorate a Christmas tree. Mid-kid wants to visit graveyards. Big-kid wants to paint dinosaurs. I would never think up those activities myself. And honestly.... I find it so cool that my 5yo mid-kid who is so obsessed with unicorns and princesses wants to visit ppl's graves in her Summer vacation. 🤘 and to all the childfree-by-choice ppl out there: I truly hope you are as happy without kids, as I am for my kids. ❤
On a serious note: I felt like this when I started trauma therapy. A good trauma therapist knows how to help you let it out a little bit at a time so it doesn't overwhelm you. A sign of a bad therapist is one that wants you to spill everything bad in your life in the first couple of weeks. I once had a bad therapist who started me off by asking, "What's your absolutely worst memory?"
I can open up, I have done it over and over and over again. I can spill my guts...and feel completely numb about it. Gotta love when you cant process trauma because it destroyed your ability to feel emotions properly lol
PS: There's an extremely common but almost totally unknown thing called alexithymia that means you have a hard time figuring out/feeling emotions, if you're autistic you probably have it. It's ok if you don't know your feelings and there's a quiz, non-diagnostic obviously, at alexithymie.com. Sincerely, Me, an Alexithymiac. (*Am* I feeling sincere?)

That's a good point. Using the present value of money, assuming investing $434.71 a month, at a 12% pa, compounded monthly, you'd have $100k in ten years in your retirement account.

I can guess that the complaining woman has never found the Tab key either - click in box, enter data, move the mouse, click in next box, enter data, and so on ad infinitum. It was part of one of my jobs to teach people how to use mailmerge, Excel, and other software - the number of people, some of whom had had typing lessons, who didn't know the Tab key was amazing.
What has the woman's age got to do with it? Imagine if the OP said BBC stood for "bossy black coworker". My nastiest, lying, gaslighting coworkers have been younger than the boomer generation. And two managers who constantly told people things were "against company policy" just because they didn't like them were also younger than the boomer generation.
In general this is stupid. But I can think of one situation in my workplace where it is against the rules to cuse cut and paste instead of typing and it is a good reason. It is about telephone transfers. IF you transfer a caller to the incorrect client it is a disaster. People have accidentally pasted in the wrong firm number because the work is fast paced.

This would be useless; no chance you’d be able to find the correct information for each problem before time was up. Better to just study. Plus, the point is to actually learn the material.

I don't think I'd have fallen for it. I think I might have allowed it, for the illusion, but I wouldn't have believed in the illusion. So in a picture like this, there would be something missing in my face or body language. She looks too happy not to believe. I would have left such a marriage thinking, "well, that was nice" and looking back at whatever good memories there were. She's going to be totally devastated. My heart just goes out to her.
I would have both believed it and not believed it at the same time and then when it ended I would wonder if my inability to completely believe had caused it to collapse. Like a cartoon character that suddenly realizes there is nothing under them, so they fall.
