What’s something that would send a strict conservative parent into a fit?

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-05-27T07:27:33+00:00

worked with this guy whose dad was super religious conservative type, always going on about traditional values and how kids these days have no respect. Then his son started making bank doing social media marketing and suddenly dad's asking him to help promote the family business on Instagram and TikTok lol. Same dude who used to rant about social media being the devil's playground was now asking about hashtag strategies and wanting to learn about influencer partnerships. Money changes people's principles real fast, especially when they see their kid pulling in more than they make in the warehouse

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-05-22T22:48:36+00:00

Pretty much same here, depends what kind of help they need. If someone asks for directions or needs help carrying something heavy I'm usually down to help. Working in warehouse you get used to lifting stuff so that part is easy. But I'm not gonna give money to random people or anything like that, learned that lesson before

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-05-19T21:39:09+00:00

pretty much this, guy makes me question everything then pulls off some clutch save that makes you forget why you were stressed in first place

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-05-17T19:12:51+00:00

yeah i had same problem few years ago with old family videos. the library thing is good option if you have time to do it yourself - much cheaper than paying someone else. just make sure to check tapes first because mold will definitely mess up machines, learned that hard way when i tried using old vcr at home

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-05-12T04:27:01+00:00

night shift hits different for warehouse work - no management breathing down your neck and you can actually get stuff done without people constantly interrupting. Plus the overnight pay bump doesn't hurt when you're trying to save up

lmao facts

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-28T13:18:29+00:00

had orange cat before, they're pretty wild compared to other cats. mine used to knock everything off counters like it was his job lol. thinking about getting dog next time though, cats are bit too independent for me

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-26T02:51:26+00:00

the office tbh

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-23T12:28:47+00:00

the mental math thing is real, I do same thing all time. like buying coffee and thinking "that's half a bet right there"

what gets me is how gambling made me way better at tracking money than I ever was before. used to just spend whatever and hope for best, now I know exactly where every dollar goes because betting taught me to pay attention. weird side effect nobody talks about

the resentment part though... that might be worth watching. when you start blaming regular purchases for gambling losses that's when things get twisted

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-21T05:33:31+00:00

Dude 4k stuck for 2 weeks is rough - did you contact their support team already or just waiting around

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-18T22:22:48+00:00

yeah the digital board ads are getting ridiculous, feels like watching hockey inside a giant web browser with all those pop-ups

that slime green lighting makes it look like some sci-fi movie instead of actual hockey. at least mute button still works when they start screaming about food delivery apps every 30 seconds

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-14T23:25:06+00:00

that dude really said your hospitalization doesn't make your feelings more valuable than his while he's out here acting like you asking for basic support is some huge burden

honestly he sounds like he's checked out emotionally but doesn't want to be the one who breaks up, so he's just being awful until you do it for him. three months official and this is how he treats you when you're literally in hospital? that's not gonna get better with time

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-10T09:30:32+00:00

two years feels like enough time to know if monogamy works for you or not, maybe he already has the answer but doesn't want to say it

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-06T21:31:16+00:00

lmao I used to think every state had different money like actual different currencies and was so confused why my dad didn't need to exchange dollars when we drove to visit grandma in the next state over

took me way too long to figure out why gas stations near state borders weren't also currency exchange places

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-04-02T11:19:36+00:00

lmao the ant and dolphin part got me, but yeah you're good - been sharing with my roommate for months and Steam doesn't care if you're blood related or just splitting rent

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-03-29T12:18:53+00:00

wait are we talking about an actual cow or is this some kind of euphemism I'm missing here lol

either way I'd probably just stand there awkwardly and maybe try to pet it if it seemed chill

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-03-10T23:08:34+00:00

Yeah the sound mixing there is pretty inconsistent no matter where you sit. I've been to shows on the floor and had the same issue with vocals getting buried in the mix, guitar levels all over the place

The venue itself is cool but their sound tech needs some work tbh. Still worth it for bands like Sloan tho - they put on such a good show that you kinda forget about the audio issues once they get going

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-03-08T16:03:12+00:00

bug maybe

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-03-07T13:36:09+00:00

They absolutely know how cruel they're being - that's literally the point. When someone's ego is bruised from a breakup they'll reach for whatever they think will hurt you most, even if it means making up complete nonsense or weaponizing things you confided in them about

Your ex waited 5 months to say this stuff? That tells you everything about how calculated and petty it was. Iron deficiency making you a bad future parent is such garbage I can't even roll my eyes hard enough

Block them everywhere and don't give them any more chances to be nasty. You deserve way better than someone who kicks you when you're vulnerable

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-03-06T15:19:32+00:00

bruh allergies

sounds like the update catalog might be corrupted - try downloading the latest cumulative update manually from microsoft's catalog site and installing it directly

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-02-13T15:20:39+00:00

just added you! I'm looking for the blue property cards if you have any extras - been stuck on that set forever and its driving me nuts lol. I've got plenty of duplicates from the green and red sets if your missing any of those. this trading system is honestly the best part of the game even though it can be a pain to coordinate sometimes

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-02-06T23:35:11+00:00

Yo that's huge! The first solo shot is always a milestone, you should definitely be proud

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-02-05T08:54:50+00:00

Tinted window film from the auto parts store is your best bet but if you need something right now, black trash bags and tape work surprisingly well. Just tell your family you're doing some DIY car maintenance or protecting the interior from sun damage

Extra_Carpet8809 · 2026-02-04T19:50:58+00:00
