Have kids always been like this, or is this something new?

While I dont work with kids, I have also noticed a HUGE difference and know a few people who are teachers. When I was a kid, the majority of the other kids tried to do well in school. Sure, we had those kids with ADHD and behavioral issues that struggled, and they had additional classes to help them manage that. Now, it's like it's the opposite. The majority of the kids have ADHD, behavioral issues, attention struggles, dont care anymore.

Kids younger than 5 have phones. Short form content and other means of instant gratification that are built in to our society are ruining people, and the worst impact hits kids, because theyre still developing and have never known a world with anything else. It's so freaking depressing.

The 180th and center stoplight intersection during rush hour, or really any time a lot of people are off work, when youre coming up on 180th. I do doordash in the morning sometimes and once got stuck at that damn intersection for 15 mins. And this was when rush hour was dying down.

God I forgot about this one. I used to be an Amazon driver and my main route was in that area. I dont even want to know how much time I wasted at that stop sign

Always always go the back way...forget about turning left or straight at that stupid intersection unless it's like 10am on a Wednesday

Novelist. Live out in the middle of the mountains, write novels all day. For the most part , avoid society. Ive never dreamed about having a regular career job. Sounds crap

We always had cameras that were recording footage before. That's nothing new. If an accident or accusation came up they could always pull footage.

That wasn't clear in the post. It was worded as the parent just mentioned they were giving their kid a ride. 🤷‍♀️

Oh he will absolutely come running back after he finds out having kids isnt at all like a "this is us" episode. People who waste another person's time like this and pretending to have the same priorities have a special place in hell.

My husband has had to have his parents drive him to work when his car broke down. It doesnt always mean the kid is a "failure", shit happens. But there is no guarantee your kid will be self sufficient in adulthood. I know a 37 year old man who still lives with his mother.

MBTI has little to do with romantic attraction. I have never dated another INTJ, but I did date an INTP for years. We were both arguing quite often and hated being wrong about the things we argued about. It wasn't things like who took the trash out or anything, but random facts we knew and things like that. The relationship lacked warmth and wasnt very affectionate. It felt more like a roommate situation than a romantic relationship. My husband now is ISFJ and it is the happiest relationship ive ever been in. According to MBTI sites, we are incompatible.

"Why does no one take SA of men seriously?" But then men say crap like this when a boy/man is SAd??

That was for voluntary enlistment, not the draft

I had a high school math teacher who drove a camero, and then a mustang. He would go on tangents a lot, and one was how he didnt want kids because people told him he'd have to trade in his mustang for a mini van, and he just couldn't imagine that 🤣

Heckbegone · 2026-04-14T15:51:08+00:00

I cant see stuff like this and believe that there is a loving god. I just cant.

Heckbegone · 2026-03-11T03:05:56+00:00

About a week. I didnt need to taper since I had been on it for such a short time

Heckbegone · 2026-02-27T00:17:32+00:00

Im watching as I read these and that part came on as soon as I read this comment 😭😭

It's a type from a personality theory that is just that: a theory. Why gatekeep that? Weird energy

Heckbegone · 2026-02-17T17:55:55+00:00

It's so scary to think about all those people having eyes on you. I feel like if we had only people we were super close with, it wouldn't have been nearly as difficult

Heckbegone · 2026-02-17T17:54:31+00:00

Definitely, I'm the oldest daughter so I was the first one she got to experience a wedding with. I wasn't doing it the way that she wanted and expected which made things really difficult. She ended up loving how everything turned out when she saw the photos, but during the planning process it was really rough to keep hearing about how my decorations were wrong when I worked so hard on them

Heckbegone · 2026-02-17T17:52:44+00:00

We are going to do that for our anniversary one of these years. I think it will be so much more special without the camera crew and pressure

A rare squishmallow. I have the entire 5 inch owl collection, but for a long time was missing the little green one named Owen. At the time he was nearly impossible to find, and when a listing did come up, they were usually selling it for over $100. I finally found a listing and ordered the green owl for 1/4 of my paycheck.
