  • My parents separated right before my 3rd birthday, and I still remember the argument (not the words, but the emotions and some actions). My mom threw a shoe and I remember thinking it was funny, because it landed on the window sill. I remember my dad leaving out the side door, and I guess it stuck with me cause he didn’t come back (not out of my life, just never came “home”). And then I remember my 3rd birthday party, who was there, and even a remote control car that my friend’s parents got me

    But because of that, I can make a timeline a little easier, of whether my parents were together or not. And also which house, because they separated after moving to “my” second house

    My first house we moved out of when I was maybe 2-ish. And I can still draw the layout, and what room was what. I can remember a Mr Yuk magnet on the fridge

    My mom making fishsticks in the oven and they caught fire

    A net of stuffed animals above my crib

    Jumping in my crib and laughing with my sister, and then pretending to be asleep when the babysitter opened the door.

    Shit, I still remember staring at that damn mobile above my crib a little, cause it was so soothing to me. I actually really liked that crib, it felt so safe lol

    And then at our second house, I got a “big boy” bed and had my own room. Old memories are so strange in the way they’re recalled, almost like a fever dream or something













  • I mentioned to my dad how much windows 11 sucks to use and he agreed that he can’t stand it

    So naturally, I told him about Linux, which he literally had never heard of before. I told him I’ll show him how to restore one of his old laptops with it, and he can go from there. Knowing him, I can’t wait to see “how cool” he thinks it is that he can just “fix” his own computer

    And I’ve already converted my wife, instead of buying a new MacBook cause hers is showing it’s age. She keeps her Mac for backup, but the main computer is Linux Mint. She’s even started to understand the terminal a little, even though she doesn’t really have to

    Slowly converting family and friends, simply because computers are expensive and windows sucks so hard now

    I find the entire concept of “childless” or “childed” surreal

    We would love to have kids. We can’t (easily or realistically). So gloating about having free time because no kids, or how amazing it is to be a parent… just seems, insincere sometimes. Idk, maybe it’s a little bitterness talking and I should just let people have fun with their memes. I guess I just find gloating about having or not having children to be weird, when for some people it’s not really a choice

    By no means am I trying to say that you’re gloating about anything, I thought your comment was sweet. I was just adding a third perspective to a random comment




  • I disagree with you, and I’ll feed the troll one good time. I’ve always liked tossing treats to the animals, ya just can’t feed them too much; or they can get comfortable and become a menace

    If you are only trolling, you’re not just getting a reaction, you’re actively being malicious

    If you can’t figure out why what you said is malicious — well than yeah, you sound like a nazi and/or sympathizer

    I don’t really care which, be better. Or don’t, and live as small as you feel. I disagree because you’re wording sounds insincere. You disagree because you are sincere, or dangerously ugly… maybe both

    Maybe you truly don’t understand, but ya don’t sound like you care to understand and I ain’t your momma to tell you how to politely disagree with opinions. Be better or sit down, cause the adults are speaking
