credburn posted:Do people use the word "illusive" enough to confuse the two? I didn't even know that was a word; I've only ever used illusory, which I guess means the same thing-ish. The Illusive Man was a major character in Mass Effect so a lot more people are aware of it than you might think.

I occasionally see people write poo poo like "answers remained illusive" or things along those lines, so yes.

For me, it's the opposite - someone will reach out to me on messenger, then tell me to call them to relay some information they could've typed out in 10 seconds. Or they'll get so caught up in complaining about something that I can't get the info I need, meaning more delays for whatever thing(s) they wanted. It's like...just TELL me already, stop with this bullshit runaround so I can actually get poo poo done!

Whenever my mom sends me one of those "call me" messages I assume someone is dead or dying but usually she just wants to chat.

FURTHERMORE There is a cabinet my wife likes to slam oats, cereal, and pasta into that is way to high for either of us. She can reach it up but not down so I'm always having to fish food out of the giant hell cabinet and I'm tiny, I'm like 165cm vs her 162. Lyubimaya just put the poo poo in a different cabinet  It is a dead cabinet, neither of us can reach up there. One of these days she's going to watch me break my neck and die clambering up to get some Honey Nut Cheerios.

If you can't handle one toddler at a time you're probably just weak. I've been alone for an hour with two dozen toddlers and it was hell on earth but manageable and it means I can easily handle individual kids because they're easy by comparison.

The most I have ever had to handle at one time alone was seven 4 year olds. But they were on skis.

Updates that nobody asked for. Like on reddit, they had an annoying but serviceable notification system when you get replied to or a recommendation gets sent to you. They just replaced it with a "messages" thing and now i have suddenly 400 "unread" (didn't care) notifications to clear for this menu to be useful at all. Thanks, I love this new "functionality" that will make me never click on the button again.

My pet peeve, parents. Oh my god kids are the worst. I get no sleep, I have no time, they destroy the house, they are hellions and my life is terrible. But also. They are the best thing in my life. I don't ever regret for even one millisecond having all of them. I don't understand why people don't want kids! Why wouldn't you want kids? But also, also I'm kid free for the evening let's get poo poo faced on wine. I have a child free weekend lets spend it baked and reminiscing about the freedom we had before kids or smack talk our kids and the fact they ruin our lives. You all sound demented. E: your kid "adventure" posts reminded me of my friends that are parents. I'm not specifically coming out swinging at you all. Indolent Bastard has a new favorite as of 04:06 on Apr 29, 2022 |

Indolent Bastard posted:My pet peeve, parents. This is all completely fair tbh. Raising kids is extremely challenging, but also the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Yes, they can be a huge pain in the arse, and having a newborn in the house DRAMATICALLY lowers your quality of life - BUT on the other hand, watching my older daughter grow up from that awful hell spawn into this adorable, feisty, smart beautiful young person is just incredible. I can't wait to see how my 8 week old is going to turn out. So yeah, pawning them off for a day or two and being able to let your hair down is loving awesome, and an opportunity you're gonna grab with both hands, but if you never saw them again it would be like ripping your heart out. In conclusion, kids are a land of contrasts.
