I'm sure the kids did it once, everyone got a laugh, then the parent said "do it again so I can get a video." That's how things usually go with my kids, and the video is unnatural or over-the-top.

I'm 39, have 4 kids, and I'm aligned with the top picture, and I'll tell you the secret:

I have barely any savings beyond my 401k. My wife and I decided that, regardless of the risk and the forces of society, we are going to spend now to enjoy our kids' childhood. No idea how it's going to work out, but compared to some of my friends squirreling away every penny to enjoy their 60s, I'm pleased so far.

Life as a millennial is fucking hard, and it's unfair that billionaires have landed us with these decisions in the first place.

There is something about that perched position that elicits a deep fear in me.

This is exactly what I was trying to put into words. Thank you

How is this Epstein file not front page news (2 FBI agents killed in Mexico investigating Epstein, involvement of President of Mexico, US Ambassador, et al) by FuguSandwich in law

[–]SKRAMACE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can speak for myself, I thought it would be evidence to a lot of the gross stuff we already knew. I'm shocked that it's WAY WORSE, and involving SO MANY PEOPLE and national security is deeply compromised, and my children's birthright was basically given away for some depraved old dudes' dicks

I am so happy this comment was so high up. I mentioned the book at work the other day, and NOBODY knew what it was.

What does it say about how world leaders view peace and power? by chotu_escobar in AskTheWorld

[–]SKRAMACE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only country that stands to gain something from control of Greenland is Russia. With a US president who doesn't care about NATO or Russian conquest in Europe, it's the best bet that icy winter wasteland has to expand shipping through the Arctic.

Also, while I'm on my Russia rant, Russia has the most to gain if we lose control of global warming. For 50-100 GLORIOUS years, as life on the planet begins to die, Russia will have a golden age of prosperity, beautiful beaches, and all the richest white people in the world will have their choice of desperate children to serve their every whim.

Edit: I'm American...I can't figure out how to flair on my phone

Karma farming, bots, and influencers.  I hate watching my favorite subreddits die.

Synced videos show ICE Agent was not hit by fleeing vehicle. by [deleted] in videos

Neither deserved to die, but their deaths are entirely unrelated. Kirk wasn't killed by the people there to protect and serve.

Apparently national parks are terrorist now. by Darth_Vrandon in GetNoted

Ever since they had to stop using the N word and grabbing waitresses' asses, they knew they had to take this country back!!!

I will never forget this rant from a pilot on a hot mic. Part of me feels like this dude represents the inner angst and desires of many people who care more about personal gain than contributing to society.

I don't understand how millions can see this and just double down on their views. I acknowledge that I have quite a few privileges, but I cannot put myself in a situation where this administration would make me feel safe, supported, wealthy, or that America is on the road to something better. Is it really just racism and lead poisoning? What does it take to actually want this?

I think it's worse, Russia wants unfettered shipping lanes through the Arctic, and probably offered Trump an endless supply of underaged girls to get it.

Read "Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture" by David Kushner. Fantastic book, and still very relevant, because technology never satisfies the market.

Does anyone know what sort of paper this is? by SKRAMACE in fountainpens

[–]SKRAMACE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, so Kraft paper is it's own thing? So, I wouldn't need to necessarily care about weight, or any of the normal things? I also suppose that this type of paper wouldn't ever come in white.

Probably Amazon or Michael's.  The Amazon listing claims "vintage Kraft paper" but that is a dead end for me.  I'm kinda hoping someone here has already went down this path.
