I don’t like debates don’t even bother starting one with me. I won’t change my mind and neither will you, so stop wasting your time.
Breath of the Wild. It is such a good game and I really love it and I only have ever heard possitive things about… but than I met a bunch of old school Zelda fans and they don’t like the game that much. They say it’s a great game but not a Zelda game. Maybe they just wanted to be contrarian but I can also understand where they are comming from.
30M: Growing up I wanted at least 3 kids. Than I realized: Holly fuck our society is literary made up against having children. WTF? From age 5 or even earlier you are put in a 9 to 5 where you have to perform if you don’t want to be labeled as stupid. In a system that does not care if you are the artsy type, the sporty type, the neat type etc and God forbid you have ADHD or something… the system does not care all it cares for is grades and that you shut up in class and memorize shit you’ll never use ever again.
And as a parent: You are encouraged to go to work and give your kid for someone else to take care of. You want a kid because you want to spend time with it. Be involved in their lives and be a good parent. But hey if you want to afford to provide for it, you better be working from 7 till 7… so you’re either fucked financially or you no time for your own kid.
Just yesterday at work, a coworker showed the card her nephew had given to her after she took the day off to go to an amusement park with them. The coworker was super proud showingit aroumd and you know what was written in the card? "Dear xy, I had a blast today it was so much fun. Thank you you made time for me in your busy schedule and did spend time with and took an extra day off for me. "
Quite sweet, until you realize: That poor kid is so used to be a second priority to work, that it has to emphasize so much how great it was someone prioritize them over work. I whish I was making this up…
This made me realize I’m quite happy with no kids. I wouldn’t mind having them with someone that would actually tale their time to raise them with me. Like someone who is ok with being part-time stay at home (where we both work 50% and gake turns taking care pf the kid) else I don’t see a point in having a kid.
Edit: RIP my English…
Switzerland:
As a non native english speaker I use quite a lot of Enhlish words in my language as well as some French words here and there.
You had me until “wastes a lot of freshwater from dishwashing” now you are just picking things to get mad about.
Yes I agree, eating out, specially fastfood is super wastefull for no reason at all.
Generally there should be more products offered as unpacked versions: where you can bring your own conatiner and fill out the things you need at the store and pay in kilos / litres and not in pieces. Unfortunately we are not there yet.
Yeah, I don’t like them because they explode in your mouth and are too sweet for salads and most people ise them in salads. Funnily enough I love apples or pairs in my salads because of the sweetness they add but cherry tomatoes are a no no.
Cherry Tomatoes. Raw I hate them. Cooked they are great.
Isn’t that like acidic? Aren’t most of the cleaners, basic? For a bathroom, where you need to get rid of lime stains, it might be good though.
Yeah, but I count being able to communicate with natives a W. Even if it’s not gramatically 100% correct.
Study the basics, consume media in said language. Use the language not caring if you do it wrongly. If people correct you, use their input to improve. The trick is getting over the “omg this is embarassing” hinge, when you are butchering it while learning.
Is that a problem I’m too tall to understand?
JK Rowling. Why can’t she just shut up and write kids books?
The TLDR is my mom is super manipulative and has threatened to kill herself if we don’t & if she does my brother will probably follow her.
I know they are both their own people and what they do is their own decision… but I would feel bad for my brother, so I play along once a week.
I was like always told to respect them before beating me and telling me how much of a dumb, useless piece of shit I am and that I should be thankfull they did not abandone me and decided to put up with such an eyesore.
I guess they never heard that you have to actually earn the respect and now wonder why I won’t call them more than once a week.
As a kid I trusted adults knew what they were doing. As an adult I now know they have no clue what they are doing.
Isn’t that just an elevator pitch but a little more personal / less corperate?
I’m an imposing looking man with brown bear like features whose personality doesn’t match his looks. As I often go for a more rugged lumberjack style that suits my body shape eventhough I have no clue how to hold any kind of tools and enjoy mostly things like knitting, sewing and cooking. Eventhough I look cold and unapproachable I’m quite warm, kind and cheritable. Due to being born in a developing nation to European parents and later moving back to Europe I have the ability to meet people openmindedly no matter their background.
Ooohhh I thought it was the @ thingy. Thank you for explaning!
Do you by chance have French ancestors?
Jokes a side, it’s a great feeling seeing people care enough to stand up for the same issues you care. As well as quite a lot of adrenaline being pumped into you as you don’t know what might be going on next and just living moment by moment. So it’s understandable that you may enjoy it.
