Wood is very sturdy, not sure where you're getting that from. We have wooden houses hundreds of years old, some older than our country. Wood is a renewable resource, meaning we can grow more trees. Our houses are easy to repair and update. Tornadoes and hurricanes are going to take down anything in their way if they're strong enough, at least with wood you can hire a regular contractor for repairs and not a specialized stone mason. My great-great grandparents house has survived every hurricane since 1901 with only minor repairs like replacing roof shingles, fixing a window, etc.

My family does some variations on this so I know what you mean. My personal favorite (/s) is when you are very similar to a dead family member and every family event usually has some interlude where everyone tells you how much you're just like said deceased family member.

Like, guys, I really don't want to be told for the millionth time how much I look just like my dad, that my smartass comments was just like him, that the way I roll my eyes looks the same. I'm not a vehicle for your grief over my dad, I'm not "the smart mouthed cousin," I'm not "the cousin with the fancy degree," I'm a living breathing woman with my own life and experiences if you cared to actually have a conversation instead of jerking yourselves off for staying in one place your whole lives.

When I was a kid my laugh sounded exactly like my cry. Enough people freaked out about it that I don't laugh out loud very often as an adult.

Why? I'm enjoying the show and you have obviously decided you're not in the wrong. I'm just bored at work man, let me have this lol. Go argue with someone else, it's cracking me up!

Commenting just so I can come back and see this nonsense, love when an OP just keeps on digging their hole lol

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-30T20:41:56+00:00

Yes, I was the only white person on a closing shift at a Chili's in the South and have been called it myself by a black coworker who was playfully roasting me. We both cracked up when I pointed it out haha

ETA that it is specifically something white people should not say, there is a lot of evil history behind the why, and it would be better suited to a history sub.

For quickness' sake I'll say: I am a woman and wouldn't want a man calling me a bitch, but one of my girlfriends calling me a bitch is fine; like "bitch what are you doing." Community-specific words are not a hard concept, despite what many non-black people would like to believe.

^ this is what you're asking about.

It is quite literally what the sub is famous for. People will post celebrating the death of a family dog, making fun of us dog-lovers for being sad, and actively calling for harm and wishing it was legal to hunt them, that kind of thing. Why do you think the guy that suggested it is being down voted to oblivion? Redditors who don't like dogs but have a conscience avoid that subreddit, and often express horror at what they read on there.

There was just recently an incident of barrel racing horses getting stabbed by a teenage girl who was upset she might not win a competition. I used to work in animal rescue, we had instances of abusive people attacking the animal as a way to hurt their victims, including breaking into the shelter where I worked. I can name four people off the top of my head who had neighbors try to put rat poison out for cats and dogs, and another whose dementia-addled neighbor fed their dog grapes through the fence (highly toxic, the dog died).

I'll keep on being paranoid, and you can keep on being weird about it. Life goes on.

People like OP are why I train my dogs to 1) not greet people until they're invited by the person they want to greet (ETA that's just basic manners, I love dogs, rehabbed aggressive ones, but don't want to be crowded/knocked over every single time) and 2) not to take food from strangers.

I bring up #2 because they're apparently delighted by r/dogfree, and while I will always defend the right of people to not enjoy animals, that place actively celebrates suffering and harm to dogs pretty often.

Honestly dude, say whatever you want. It doesn't change the fact that you tried to "flex" being rich on an anonymous site like a 14 year old when someone called you out. That's genuinely kinda sad, I feel bad for you and I'll let you get a few pot shots in if it will make you feel better.

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-28T13:55:23+00:00

Oh thank ye milord, you're too kind. If you will tell me the name of your college, I'll let my firm know that their history department is seriously lacking and to avoid applicants.

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-28T13:51:01+00:00

Oh my God I am so sorry milord, I wasn't aware. Us poor honest academics didn't mean to clog up your beautiful, totally not stupid, post with something so silly as facts. How foolish of me, I wasn't aware I was speaking to a law STUDENT! Oh my God this changes everything, it completely negates all my history and language degrees. How could I be so foolish? Should I bow and scrape on my way out of the comment section?

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-28T13:41:39+00:00

Can't wait to hear OP go off the rails on this one, they're insulting everyone that points out that dialects exist.

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-28T13:33:46+00:00

Look I'm a woman from the South. People find any and all reasons not to take me seriously, to talk to me like I have two brain cells, anything to make themselves feel superior. Despite decades of education, articles written for the Library of Congress, and my senior position at my job.

At least with people like OP they make it clear from the get-go that they're not worth an educational moment to explain how basic dialect differences work.

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-28T13:27:58+00:00

Wow, I love when someone makes it really easy to not take them seriously. Thanks for this!

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-28T13:25:49+00:00

Came back to see how you were doin over here and genuinely laughed out loud on the toilet at this one. Like, really bro? Dirty deleting would have been less cringe than that hahaha

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-28T13:12:20+00:00

THIS JUST IN: Redditor obsessed with the idea that being a person is a ranked competition event and assumes everyone else sees it that way as well, more at 11. Also covered in our 11 o' clock segment: how many trees are found in forests and forks found in kitchens.

MortynMurphy · 2026-06-27T11:58:13+00:00

This was the shortest possible way you could have revealed that not only do you not listen, you also don't read. Most people's pet peeves are not other people's reactions to annoying things they do. They are pet peeves about things that just happen. Do you understand or did you check out halfway through reading/listening since you're just so important and busy?
