Anybody got that tweet by Marjorie Taylor Greene where she had to make a press announcement that the Holocaust was actually bad because she went to the Holocaust Museum in DC yesterday?

As if anybody forgot that she made a huge deal about how the camps didn't go far enough back in 2014 when she visited one and posted on social media about it?

When a good proportion of the world allows poly marriage, including the strictest religion in the world, white people are going to struggle to make themselves feel oppressed for being so.

Honestly the way some white dudes have a hard on for wanting to be oppressed is probably a form of oppression itself. “Stop canceling yourself! Stop canceling yourself!”

I was saying to Minicurve the other day that so many awkward straight white dudes on the internet would be happy if they gave up the anime and threw themselves into music like they did in the before times.

Metal heads, emo’s, goths, could all be ugly and weird together without judgement and you had yourself a ready made friendship group just by turning up at a gig, and It’s not like metal isn’t still right there waiting for them

Metal/punk gigs and other fans probably shaped my willingness to accept and/or just not give a poo poo what others are doing as long as they're not hurting anyone else, as well as sticking up for the outcasts and other fellow weirdos, more than anything else in that 12-19 age period.

It's also why incels never made sense to me as I am not a good looking dude but turns out just not being a piece of poo poo works better!

Trying to remember what it was....soulseek? Something like that. I made and still have a lot of friends from whatever that program was. It was like peer to peer downloads of people's libraries, and you could message each other. poo poo was awesome.

Incels make a lot more sense considering they're almost universally kids who grew up in the suburbs with neglectful/apathetic/checked out parents who never bothered to get them into extracurricular activities or monitor their mental health and social development, so they ended up raised by unsupervised internet use and unable to access any social events on their own accord without their parents giving them a ride. By the time they reach adulthood, they're effectively feral children all grown up who never figured out fully functional methods of interacting with other human beings, but were given a convenient list of things to blame for their problems, mainly that unlike their fathers they weren't handed success and fulfilment, or at least a steady job and a subservient wife, on a silver platter just for being born white and with a dick.

That reminds me of the time my daughter just wanted parmesan cheese, so we just gave her parmesan cheese

Suddenly the pasta and sides were way more exciting

You've just reminded me of my glorious time playing counter strike with my colleagues. My favourite map was cs_office because, if I spawned in the right place as a terrorist, I could run like a lunatic out a window and get up behind the other team with my knife out and stab all of em in the back long before they even thought they were vulnerable.

I made a bunch of dudes so paranoid about being backstabbed, they spun around constantly to avoid being backstabbed. It was very very funny.

My nephew on Sunday insisted he wanted chicken wings, to the bewilderment of his mother, his aunt and me. Turned out when they arrived he actually wanted the chicken strips I had, and had repeatedly asked if that's what he meant before ordering. Turned out alright, as we discovered my two nieces will go through chicken wings like you wouldn't believe, and happily trade some of their chicken nuggets for some wings. The real difference is that we're not assholes and sorted things out so everyone was happy, instead of insisting my nephew sit and eat what he ordered or starve.

What I find funniest about that kid and his eggs is that presumably the dad still had to pay for something his son isn't going to eat. Seems the lesson he's taught is "Your father's a loving idiot who's happy to throw money away if he thinks it'll be funny on Twitter or own the libs."

You need to let a kid do a certain amount of dumb poo poo and be dissapointed at the results. I'd go back and get him something he would eat, but not until after he had to look at what he ordered.

Theres a difference between your kid insisting they order their own food and you say "fine, if you're gonna be that way, order it" versus a kid insisting they walk out into a busy street - like yeah I'll grab them kicking and screaming before they do anything like that.

I agree the dad is probably a really lovely person though.

Bean dad 1.0 allowed a hungry crying child to skip two meals before getting his lazy rear end off his PlayStation to demonstrate how the incredibly sharp object worked. Bean dad has hopefully lost visitation.

One time I demanded my dad cut tomatoes out of the soup. I hated tomatoes and I didn't want them in my drat soup! I learned a valuable lesson about how flavor is more complicated than that because the soup sucked.

My dad sacrificed what would have been good soup to stop me from melting down. It also resulted in me learning something. I guess that means he's as bad as Bean Dad and should be cancelled now.

You don’t feel any different in your sense of self no matter if you are 2, 12 or 65, the only difference is what you learned over the years, so treat kids with actual kindness even if it means looking a bit silly or eating crow ffs.

It really comes down to what the dad did after letting son look at his poo poo breakfast. If he said "Now can we go back in and let me help you order something you'll want this time?" then great. It's just I'm about 95% certain the sort of person who thinks humiliating their child on the internet is funny probably said "Sucks to be you, either eat it or shut up" while rolling coal out of the parking lot in their MAGA flag-covered truck. Hope I'm wrong.
