My parents and I are all insufferable film nerds in our own rights, and while my mom directly raised my younger sister and I, both of them were real cool with me interacting with whatever media* as a kid. It was them engaging with me that was the issue, because mom I am like 9, I do not walk to talk about Clinton and Lewinsky. Please do not explain why it’s a big deal DONT SAY SEX MOM, EW. No I do NOT want to know if God is there, so Margaret can keep waiting, ew you read this as a kid mom aaaAAAA they talk about periods in this gross (I somehow completely forgot about how I loved Superfudge and literally every other Blume book). When I was maybe 11-12, I had asked if I could rent Silence of the Lambs, and much to my surprise she was keen to watch it with me! Real weird because she hates horror, but ok, fine. Around the scene where Gumb is in the back of the Beetle, my mom turns to me and goes, “I really hate horror because it’s all so fakey and it doesn’t scare me. However when I saw this in the theaters the first time, I was terrified, want to know why? Because Dracula or Frankenstein won’t ever happen, Silence of the Lambs is based on real events and can totally happen to anyone anywhere.” Serious as a heart attack, I’m 12 at the most and *just* getting horror, and oh when those gears clicked. My parents engaging with media was mostly beneficial, we talked about the news we watched, so I was well informed about the world around me compared to my peers, and I could think about movies, tv and books as something to help understand a small facet of the world, to just think and wonder. Just like, mom, I am 12, I get that bad people exist but goddamn. Maybe uh, save it for after the film. *the only blind spot was video games and even then they were loosey goosey, except for one time I had to explain how the ESRB worked because my mom was hesitant to let me rent “Ken Griffey Jr.’s Slugfest” once. I got to rent it.

My mom started handing me serious sci fi books when I hit my tweens. The big ones like Dune, written by major sex weirds. Then she gave me The Fox Woman when I was maybe 14. It's a Japanese based story about a fox that seduces a human man. I remember the brother fox getting a handy in a hot spring from the man. I think the fox eventually has a kit/child with the human? Thanks mom.

Event Horizon was mine, especially the vivisection of the doctor. It was marketed in Italy as "the new Star Wars" on trailers and ads, which omitted literally anything that wasn't standard sci-fi. Amazing.

When I was 11 I also watched Silence of the Lambs with my mom, and when dude was like "I can smell your oval office", I kept pestering my mom about what he said. Lol. Also watched a lot of Sex and the City with her, but the episode with the guy who wanted his rear end ate after running a marathon sticks in my mind the most. Love you mom.

I got to watch Carrie when I was 13 or so, with mom. Pretty sure she had seen it before. The shower scene at the beginning was particularly awkward for me. She also rented Blazing Saddles with me around the same age and I was definitely too young to get it and she certainly didn't explain it to me. Dad took me to see Cruel Intentions when I was 15 and told Mom afterwards "Eh it wasn't anything he hasn't seen before." There was a woman in the theatre who loudly yelled out "Yeah! There ya go!" when the dark haired teenage character gets seduced by the main character.

atomicdream posted:Yeah, we just didn't go all out like that for our son when he was born in November. While I'm sure those strollers are super nice, I just can't imagine spending that much on one. Not gonna really begrudge anyone that does, I just can't imagine that for us. We went full new parent when our first one was born 10 years ago, with baby equipment to the point that you could fill a sedan with us two, the baby and the baby's logistical train. By the time the latest were born all you really need is a carseat, a diaper or two stuffed in the purse, and the baby will sleep wherever. In the end, the best stroller is the one that weighs almost nothing, because at one point you're going to wind up two miles deep into a trail with two kids, a bike, and a stroller, everyone is mad, nobody will walk OR ride, and the only way out is if you can carry the kid on your shoulders, the baby in one arm, and the stroller and bike in the other arm lol

Remember when I said don’t push it? Don’t push it. Every other post doesn’t need to have oval office in it, and I recommend you avoid this little Normally I’d have followed suit with the rest of GBS, but I want to see if this thread can prove me wrong. I’m admittedly hesitant, as I’ve seen some of the utterly hosed up poo poo goons have sent female mods and IKs and I’d like to avoid more of that. I’ve gotten some myself, even from users in this thread. Hell, even from some users who’ve posted within the past few pages. Usually it’s this beautiful melange of racism and sexism so I really, truly don’t need that now. If this becomes a problem, it will be my problem, and if it is my problem, I will promise you that I will make it your problem. Again, I will punish multiple for the actions of one. I want you to keep yourselves in check because other users are depending on it. You are all in this together. Don’t let me down. …brrrruce teen witch fucked around with this message at 11:27 on Feb 16, 2023 |

That said I found the massive stroller used for my little brother to come in handy even when he was walking, they make great shopping trolleys for the state fair. Also just don't take kids on bigass hikes, every step for you is three for them and they just end up tired and miserable and associating the great outdoors with sore feet and rear end in a top hat grown ups who won't listen to them.

I regret that at the time I didn’t as I didn’t want to deal with fallout or others joining in - I was scared. Some of it was during the time of lowtax and I’m not stupid, dude was horrific about race. In cold consolation, the vast majority of them have been perma’d because if they’re lovely to me; they pull it everywhere and eventually piss off the wrong person. Only one or two still really linger. Some people cannot handle being respectfully told no by certain mods, which is why I chose violence. E: I don’t wish to discuss this further as there are socially maladjusted people on Reddit to mock without any self awareness. I will say this, despite their many many many many many flaws, the current admin team has done more to try to rectify matters and do right (eventually) in a year and change, than lowtax ever did in 2ish decades. Damning with faint praise, but it’s something. teen witch fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Feb 16, 2023 |

I’ve seen a dude get super murdered in front of me, the word oval office doesn’t bother me. What does, are when others aren’t respectful of those who aren’t them, for something so easy to do. I dislike being called the n word in camaraderie (or like…ever) and get this, I’ve never once had an issue with anyone about it. Everyone has been understanding, even if their experience with the word is different than mine. That’s a respect I strive to give to others and when I do it is literally effortless. Anyhow, enough from my cakehole.
