I laughed my arse off at the end of 300, when it's very explicitly shown that it's a historical story being told to pump the guys up for a big important battle so how much truth there actually is in it is ahem subject to debate. But yeah, trust chuds to miss anything less subtle than a halfbrick to the head.

There's a whole megathread in gbs about narcissistic parents and a forum where they congregate to complain about their thankless children and they all seem to write with the same cadence, the same phrasings, the same deflection of blame, the same vagueness when circumstances could reflect badly on them, into stories that make no sense to normal people. You can spot it a mile away. This is very likely a badly abusive parent as well.

Yes. My wife says Boy mom is worse because it's always in the context of "boys are terrible to raise but I'm so tough and deserving of adulation because boy mom is the hardest kind of parenting ever" while girl dad is "please recognize and praise me for being engaged in parenting my daughter," but still is at least a bare minimum nod to a sea change in masculinity. I dunno, they both suck, parent your kids, you're not special because you made one.

I do a bunch of traditionally mom stuff with/for my daughter and every now and then someone points it out but wtf. Kids don't give a poo poo who does their laundry or paints their nails, why should anyone else?

Hell, statistically, there were absolutely trans people who witnessed (or hell, were killed on) 9/11.

Over a thousand people died in the biggest (or at the very least, most famous) city in the US, in an event that was broadcast all over the country, but I guess only the cis peoples' eyes worked that day?

The trans people were also traumatized of course, but the good ones understood that witnessing 9/11 was the worst thing that could possibly happen to anybody on the planet, so they became cis. The bad ones didn't understand this and now want people to refer to them by their actual pronouns when there's 9/11 memories to be processed! The nerve!

Libraries are better now because the catalogues are online so you can find out if they have what you want without leaving your chair. Back in the 90s I was always finding book one of a series and nothing more or, it seemed even more frequently, random entries from the series but not the first one. Or just a whole lot of worthless poo poo that was impossible to sift through to find anything decent. Non-fiction is sorted by category, so you used to be able to find something on the topic you were interested in at least, but research is a million times easier and more convenient now that you can do it largely online.

But at least libraries are free, unlike video shops, so you only wasted your time and not your money by finally grabbing something at random because there's no possible way to actually find anything good.

Did yours not have computers with a digital card catalogue? I would just put a hold on the missing parts of a series. Usually they were on the book mobile so it was just a matter of waiting for them to pull it off and give me a call

The missing books just weren't there. They weren't on loan or at a different branch, they didn't have them.

You're discounting the fact that once we abolish the monarchy, we'll need a new head of state, and who better than prime minister and all round lovable chap Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson?

That tiny section in the middle is populated by upstanding citizens like Stanley Johnson, Carrie Johnson, my insane great aunt, etc etc.
