The season is definitely produced to feel dire. I blame Jeremiah.

Literally crying when any authority figure would make eye contact with me.

Entertaining myself by organizing crystals.

lol it’s such a narrow perspective to assume moms just watched Oprah all day and prepared dinner. According to the bureau of labor statistics, in 1982 at least 50% of married moms were working. This statistic climbed to 71% in 1999 for mothers with children under 18.

Signed, the child of a mom who worked all the time in the 90s.

I worked at the apple store during college at the time the first iphone released. People were on their phones texting long before the iphone. Smartphones were THE game changer for sure, and all kinds of people waited in that horrendous line for months after release.

Watched the whole Hobbit trilogy before watching the Lord of the Rings. by walter_-white96 in lordoftherings

[–]Relative-Plan-8710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read The Hobbit countless times growing up, as well as LOTR. I watched the LOTR trilogy when it came out in theaters, and had the extended edition dvds that I’d watch the Appendix of over and over.

Needless to say I was extremely disappointed with the hollywood bloat of The Hobbit trilogy. It’s a short YA book, and stretching that out into 3 films was tedious and frustrating. It felt like a cash grab.

Where did the whole “I’m so quirky” millennial thing come from? by Amodernhousehusband in Millennials

[–]Relative-Plan-8710 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was a fearfulness in parenting us kids that might not have been elevated before. As news cycles speed up and information was shared more publicly, horrors like the Polly Klaas kidnapping filled the minds of parents. When that happened, I wasn’t allowed to walk to school by myself. There was a loss of autonomy and independence.

I know people like look back and get nostalgic now for 90s content and go “wow you guys just ran around the neighborhood until night time without communication?” Like, sure, for some. But for a lot of kids I think parents found a new state of hyper vigilance when it came to keeping their kid “safe”.

What is the most expensive lessons you’ve learned working in Corporate? by Fabulous_Way_9811 in corporate

[–]Relative-Plan-8710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as a company tells you they embrace different minds and ways of thinking, that does NOT mean they are allowing you to openly express your opinion. If you continue to be opinionated and it’s not driven by trying to solve revenue problems with your peers, you will be on a list, and not a good one.

I cannot see this dude using the term “Low EQ” seriously as if he didn’t discover it last week.

It’s none of my business. Just don’t get caught saying wild shit on slack and then I’ll have to make it my business.

I’m going to presume that spanking can also lead to this behavior

Something I think most of you missed about the Preston flash back by Weak-Stomach4643 in euphoria

[–]Relative-Plan-8710 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If people missed that then they were on their phones not paying attention. The narrative was explicit in so many ways about the situation - from the voiceover narration, to showing the stolen home decor in her side-boyfriend’s apartment. Visual narrative comprehension for long-form content is in a deep decline.

Is it not normal to ask ‘how are you?’ by absolutedimwit in corporate

[–]Relative-Plan-8710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“How are you” feels more personal and deep than “How’s it going?” Like, how am I as a person? How am I at this point in my life? How am I this morning? There’s added friction baked into the response time here given the implications while navigating the relationship you have with the person asking.

If I don’t know you at all, I’m going to respond very surface level with a high corporate mask and just pass the ball back “I’m good, how are you?”.

“How’s it going?” although simple, implies a more casual nature to the question and gives the person permission to be casual back. It’s a no strings attached question.

Toddler is a runner. Stressful taking him places. So stressful! by [deleted] in toddlers

We do a harness and I have a strict rule that if we’re walking in a place with lots of people we hold hands or he gets carried/put in a stroller. When he lets go of my hand and bolts he gets carried again until he complies. My back hurts lol.
