Squee Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Absolutely! And that whole thing about not saying "no" like @J3FF3R00 mentioned is a real thing. I can certainly understand why parents thing it's tough raising a kid when they don't tell them "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 yikes, there's a difference between discipline and punishment sorry your friend is raising a douchebag. personally i'd just tell the kid horrible lies to give him nightmares. "you know how I know?...because... i was that murderer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it has anything to do with the Waldorf School Method that seems to be their way of living. could be, though I've known people who went to Waldorf schools that weren't tantrum-prone slap-magnets... fwiw, my cousin seems to be raising his daughter with the 'never say no' style as well, and she's a goddamn menace. instead of discipline, she gets asked 'why did you do that?' (duh, because she wanted to) and after giving a feigned apology, she is told how brave she is for saying sorry. she's 8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just write a quick reply that says, “I just noticed that my autocorrect misspelled your name. Sorry about that! Happens all the time to me.” It’s an easy way get her to respond to both your emails. If a client doesn’t get back to me I’ll write them a couple of days later with some nonsense like, “oh i forgot to mention…” and then some nonsense that’s not really important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtaining a gf has gotten in the way. Now when I'm not working or making music we're spending quality time together, or I'm catching up with other friends. I do miss having an abundance of free time to waste at my leisure. Glad the landlord got back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkface Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 As I've posted on here previously, in the past I have bought tickets to 8 concerts, yet only been able to go to 2 of those concerts due to competely random and annoying shit popping up, it's therefore been just under 3 years since I last went to one, so this morning I was pissed off about this and decided to look at who was performing in Nottingham since winter break is almost over and I'm going back to uni and my god it's actually depressing and laughable. I've been put off now. Never going to a concert ever again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) My neighborhood is loaded with a bunch of muscle car driving, ill-tempered guard dog owning, illegal firework launching, shitty “dj” / backyard PA blasting, drag-racing Neanderthal knuckleheads. When I say “loaded” I’m talking literally half of the motherfuckers on my damn block… and that’s just my block. The police don’t do shit. It’s seriously out of control. I often feel like my neighborhood is definitely more “third world” than “first world” because of the stray dogs and chicken in the streets, gang graffiti and overall lawlessness. When people go for walks in my neighborhood, they carry large sticks (no lie, people are either protecting themselves from stray guard dogs or just showing that nobody should fuck with them. My wife got chased by a big Doberman or something once and I took a hint to start carrying a large stick in the baby stroller when I take the baby for walks). Having a 2 year old child who has an early bedtime and a midday nap is just hilarious. We have police helicopters overhead constantly, hot rods revving their engines and doing donuts in intersections, barking dogs, people throwing actual dynamite out of their cars and insane block parties every weekend that rage into the morning. We also live right next to a train track. Our 90 year old neighbor 2 houses down is constantly kept awake by her neighbors and their full-blown mariachi parties that don’t stop until after 4am. Nobody gives a fuck. She asks them to turn it down at like 3am and they are like “too fucking bad”. Our next door neighbor (who also throws loud parties with dunk idiots peeing on the side of their house) has a huge pit-bull guard dog (I’m not exaggerating… It’s big and mean and they don’t let it inside the house. It’s clearly been bred to kill people) that snarls and barks and tries to jump over the wall between our houses to try and kill us. It’s fucking insane. The only way I can go in my backyard is if I load my pockets with dog treats and throw them over the wall when the dog starts trying to jump over it. Tonight, the other house directly behind us is having a loud party of about 10 screaming drunk idiots with their PA blasting on full volume. They used to throw empty plastic weed containers, beer bottles and all kinds of other trash over our wall into our yard until I sent them a really sweet Xmas card (flies with honey). It seriously feels like that first Mad Max movie but instead of the crazy gangs being on the desert highways they are all my neighbors. Oh yeah, and about an hour ago I saw a Citizen report that there was a dude walking around with a machete 2 blocks away. Good times.

cruising for burgers Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) I'm at Starbucks and the coffee next door has a cover band singing that awful song from the cranberries, zombie... now they're playing oasis... off topic: I never order the right drink at Starbucks... I don't know what most of the drinks are... mocha machiato frappuccino etc... everytime I order frappuccino it comes practically frozen so it's impossible to slurp it with the straw... sorry, haven't been around and I'm quite bored atm so that's why I'm posting mostly shit... nvrmnd I'm not fooling anybody with this, there's no apparent reason to why I only post shit... when people ask me what music is that that I'm listening to or that I'm into I simply reply, shitty music, it's the best answer... just try it...

ambermonk Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) 30 laughs sounds like a reasonable goal. I don't even care what pic or meme it is, I just want to see that kind of reaction become a reality here. Or 30 burgers, I don't care which. Current FWP: There are two books I want to order online, but I'd rather not give Amazon my money if it's an option because Jeff Bezos is evil. Too bad they basically have a monopoly on online commerce. Edited January 28, 2023 by ambermonk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Not wanting to be laughed at by WATMM is way worse than being laughed at by WATMM. imho, although tbh I’d personally prefer both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
