I vastly preferred the lack of context. The context is extremely depressing lol.

Always remember to add "lol" to the end of dark and depressing statements to make people less worried about you lol

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (2 children)

That's just how we depressed people roll lol

This is why childhood trauma is so damaging. You have nothing to compare to so whatever you experience as a child becomes the foundation of your mind.

Babies scream because whatever they're experiencing is literally the worst thing that's ever happened to them.

Well today I got screamed at because my 18 month old handed me a long string of beads that was wadded into a bunch of tangled knots and I untangled them. I don't know what I was supposed to do but apparently that wasn't it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

I know what I said.

Whenever I see a toddler with a cold or the flu, I feel extra bad for them. They're all congested, sneezing, coughing, possibly pinwheeling in the bathroom... a lot of them have never felt worse than that, and it's like, "I'm so sorry. You've got decades more of this to look forward to, little friend"

One of many reasons I'm not having kids.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

They're pretty well right about it when they're just born.

My toddler screamed at ear hurting levels because Mom forgot her hug. Chill is not the word I would use to describe most toddlers.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I prefer fire alarms. They are either at full chill, or complete panic. Very little in-between.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago

I joke that my kid has the communication skills of an alarm clock.

Kinda compliments how they can also throw a nuclear tantrum for absolutely no reason where you, the parent, may also have zero context for what’s going on.

Have you ever missed your lunch nap? If that doesn't make you scream....

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I do feel sad about skipping the siesta. Relatable.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Mine screamed at me this evening because we put a hand on a corner of the counter that he had already smacked his head on once this morning.

I don't even know anymore lol

To be fair they moved to Florida.

Or the alien landscapes of the Southwest

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Y'all folks living in Endor or some shit, with trees everywhere. That's the real alien landscape. 👽

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The alien said from a cloud of dust cuz there's no roots or soil base

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

What's a soil base?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Actually, an aerial view of Denmark would show that the vast majority is farmland, then coastline, then sub- and urban areas and THEN forests 😄

Oh, geez. I grew up in the US of the '80s and '90s and was talking to a friend about all the abortion clinic bombings we had back then--like not just murdering doctors (although that did happen), bombings--and how, thinking back on it, that was a super fucked up normal to grow up with.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Before that they were firebombing churches. There was a surprising amount of bombing in the sixties and seventies.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Wait till you hear about gun deaths

I wondered the same thing when landing in Salt Lake City for a connecting flight.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

SLC looks wildly unnatural

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Advanced verbal skills on that toddler 😂

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Not necessarily. Speach and language develops at different rates in kids and I can totally see a moderately advanced two year old using a complete simple sentence.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

yeah i’m impressed you can make full-sentence comments with emojis
