Raising a child seems hellish in general.

Liberals called him progressive to beat a tv doctor lmao. He was never actually progressive.

The craziest part to me is that using human shields is intended to deter the adversary from rash actions, but we are at the point where the IDF is calling the bluff and just firing indiscriminately at anyone opposite them in the streets.

Using human shields is fucked, calling the bluff and killing human shields is just as fucked…

Landlords are subhuman.

They could be tho…

“Is it time to retire a word that’s being used to describe something we agree with?”

Yeah that’s a tough pill to swallow. I had a friend like that as well, but it was a lot easier to cut ties because he was also a racist transphobe.

Hope you and yours stay healthy too!

Sorry if I directed my frustrations at you. they are actually more general frustrations with the entire situation and I tend to get a little to worked up.

COVID has been taking a toll on me and my family because of various health concerns that are exacerbated by us getting COVID beginning of this year. Because of that I definitely get a little defensive and snippy.

Honestly, I apologize for coming at you like that, I definitely understand your sentiment and recognize your understanding of the larger situation. Its no excuse for me snapping at you, but I want to acknowledge my error.

Exactly… it wasn’t until I lived on my own in more culturally diverse areas that I realized how gross it is and made my home a shoes off home.

I’ve also moved towards changing my clothes before getting comfortable in my own house. I don’t want outside clothes on my couch. This is a little unrealistic if you host people, but I still operate like that for myself.

Would you rather have hyperbole or straight up lies?

I love this so much. Well played, friend.

I still wear a mask every single time I go into the office or into any public indoor setting. Very few exceptions. The idea that anyone can acknowledge COVID is still around and still a major issue but simultaneously gives into normalcy means that they don’t actually care. Caring means acting in a way that helps the situation, not blaming circumstances while still serving your own wants. Live life how you want, but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Yes you are a lib, the hyperbole is humongous lib energy. No one said we are avoiding seeing friends and family, we are just more cautious with the setting.

For the record, most people fall into the same category you do. Most people feel compelled to placate the risk averse for the sake of optics, but in reality can’t be bothered to hinder their lives anymore. Meanwhile long covid has hindered many lives in much worse ways.

Yeah, that’s very fair. I have a BiL and SiL who are on the tail end of gen x that definitely seem more like older millennials then they do gen x. They are my favorite family members to hang out with at this point.

Ooooh interesting. I’ll definitely give that a look. With or without my Covid concerns, I’ve been debating switching therapists for other reason, this is a good place to start.

Thanks!

I love how mad gen xers get when it comes to admitting they were very privileged. They are proud of it, but also insanely mad about it.

At least his business will be okay.

Yeah my therapist has had similar sentiments. Considering it’s a as major source of my anxiety, I’m thinking I should find a new one.
