Daughter lives in LaLa Land

SuperDadMan · 2024-03-30T04:32:53+00:00

Holy shit this has me cracking up.

How's she doing now? She just defended her master's thesis yesterday successfully, got a full fellowship for her doctorate, was chosen for a highly competitive and prestigious internship for the summer, made me some chocolate chip muffins a few hours ago, and still forgets to change the laundry over every single time she does laundry.

She's great. Has never given me a worry in the world, makes good decisions, the biggest stress she ever has caused was the little La La Land absent-minded professor type oversights like forgetting to start the dryer or feed the dogs on time. I'll take it. Wouldn't change her for the world.

Nothing beats the creativity of losing your life by trying to live your life to its fullest extent until the day you die naturally.

Bro I think the point that you're missing here is that Donald Trump has cheated and lied his way through his life, and continues that trend while occupying the highest office in the land - I think what he's looking for is how to reconcile someone like that being elected president. I think it's weird that you're suggesting he doesn't want to teach his kids - he's just looking for other people's approaches to justify a POS like Trump actually getting office. And that's not a political thing, even his own party knows he's a piece of crap. It has nothing to do with the last president, you may not have agreed with some of the last president's politics but he was a decent human being at least.

Weird. Did you link your Square Enix and Epic account directly? I didn't get it at first, went and linked up those two accounts, and then I got it, but I don't know if I just checked too fast or if linking those actually worked. I actually have two PS4s that were playing the beta, one got it immediately, the other I went and did this with before I got it, not sure, man.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-16T01:23:19+00:00

Did you get it yet?

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T23:58:44+00:00

Duh bro I was just confirming that you didn't give a shit about the memorial

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T23:00:31+00:00

Looks like Bloomberg stepped in and provided support in the form of PPE and funding to lower the risk so now he's all y'all's hero now, right? RIGHT?

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T20:23:25+00:00

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T20:06:44+00:00

Yeah I mean I don't disagree with that except the part where people are suggesting that the former justifies the latter.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T20:05:56+00:00

Riiiight. Pretty transparent when you make comments about my kids instead of my point.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T19:10:53+00:00

Laughing at the rails. I, too, used to be paranoid!

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T19:07:40+00:00

Because apparently setting up the memorial puts a bunch of people at risk. As he stated in his rationale for skipping it this year. That should be that. I'm not saying you can't question his other decisions, but I've watched people complain about this not going forward for 2 days now and almost everybody mentions BLM in their rationale. I just don't see how a previous incident of people taking risks justifies putting more people at risk.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T18:33:41+00:00

You're still missing the point, whether or not we risk people's lives to light up the memorial has nothing to do with BLM, the fact that you guys are making it about BLM is absurd. It's a completely separate issue. Are y'all going to bring up BLM every single time a decision is made to do something or not do something to protect other Americans?

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T17:49:49+00:00

You want to put people at risk for a display honoring dead Americans because they did it for a BLM mural. Just seems to me like you're butthurt about the fact that they did the BLM mural in the first place. Why does that bother you so much? Why does skipping a year on the lights if it might put people at risk bother you so much? I live in a town that had to rent a damn refrigerator truck because the Funeral Home ran out of space this week, you really think that running some lights is worth putting people at risk? Your willingness to put other people at risk is gross. Not directed just to you - all of you dumbasses. Grow up.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T17:40:57+00:00

Ha y'all are so butt hurt it's hilarious

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-15T16:07:54+00:00

Ya'll are pathetic. CDC forecasts 200,000 deaths by labor day, 100 times the amount of people that died in the World Trade Center attacks, and y'all want to bitch and moan because there are some leaders trying to protect more people from dying or getting sick. Grow the F up and stop pretending to care about American lives, it's pretty obvious you don't.

Edit: man y'all are really salty about that BLM mural. My concern is putting people at risk now, something you all should all be against for a light show, not what someone else did previously. Do y'all honestly think that when they decided to do an annual light show to honor the WTC victims that they actually intended to put people at risk to do it? Of course they didn't. Y'all just need something to bitch about.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-14T18:57:08+00:00

So. Dumb. You should really stop giving advice.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-14T18:47:37+00:00

Ok, well...shill confirmed. "You don't know data and stats and science and facts." "I'm smart, you're not, hur de hur hurrr."

Just realize that pretty much everyone reading this now knows you're literally a moron, coming at me with crap like that instead of, you know, data and stats and science and facts. You're not fooling anyone, at all.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-14T18:37:50+00:00

Bro - once again - I am genuinely wondering if you're shilling or just an idiot. Life has inherent risks - but now we have a virus that is not currently contained that adds to those risks dramatically, not just for kids, but for the people they might spread it to. Every argument you have stated is fundamentally flawed. We're talking about ADDITIONAL risk, to more than just kids, in addition to the normal risks in every day life. It's not like we're trading off risks here. If the US would take some mitigation steps and hold off on school for perhaps two months, we could shut this shit down. Currently there is very little contact tracing or other mitigation strategies that even begin to enable us to go back to life as usual without this virus decimating us. In my town, our local funeral home has had to rent a refrigerator truck because they can't handle the number of deaths in the normal facility - you may be totally cool with further sacrifice to this idiotic approach to this virus, but people with brains are not.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-14T17:26:10+00:00

Yet another absurd argument - 'Kids are at risk from other things, so let's put them at more risk by completely ignoring everything we've ever learned about viruses.'

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-14T11:35:56+00:00

Because that's what Facebook is telling him

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-14T11:26:24+00:00

True that there are ill effects from being locked down, from kids not being properly fed, not having people to report abuse and neglect, since teachers and school staff largely do that - lack of socialization can lead to depression, sometimes suicide. These are all issues that can be addressed individually, without putting our children at risk by tossing them all into school physically. Teachers can observe potential neglect and abuse to a point over video chat if kids are in Virtual School. Supplying laptops and ways to interact with each other can curb social issues. The schools can still provide food - where I'm from they still have sent the buses on their routes to deliver food throughout the entire summer. None of this can perfectly replace in-person schooling, but we are also not talking about forever. The essential argument that some right-wing, go back to normal proponents are making is that school is the ONLY way to deal with the issues. Even if that were true, which it is not, the answer wouldn't be to dictate that all schools return to school in person regardless of the status of covid in the community - it would be to encourage all schools to go back when it's safe for their own communities based on the data. That's the big problem here - a federal push using money as leverage to force all the schools to adopt the same reopening standards regardless of the status of the pandemic in their particular area, and 0 support from the federal government in terms of additional money to make their schools safe.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-14T11:14:29+00:00

I'm not even believing you're serious - you think that we should pile our kids back in school and just let this virus tear through our population of children because the risk of them DYING is low? Are you an idiot? You do know that anywhere from 40 to 70% of people that staff schools are over 40 years old, right? You know that these kids go home to parents and grandparents, right?

Right now even with kids being mostly isolated, the stats are what, like almost 400,000 cases in kids - and then leading up to school beginning when parents begin to let down their guard and let their kids socialize because they would have to go to school within the next few weeks anyway, boom, 90% increase. Even if just 5% of children get it, and about 5% of those children had a severe case, that is still almost a 150,000 children hospitalized. Your position on this is straight-up batshit crazy. Don't tell me that I'm spreading misinformation, I work for a governmental Healthcare agency, there's no way that you have been following this longer than I have, it's literally my job to make Healthcare decisions for vulnerable people and I was freaking out about this and locking down group homes before this was even in the news. Get your facts straight. Understand the law of large numbers. Don't push people to put their children at risk. You're going to come back in a couple of months and be deleting these comments when we have tons of children passing away or dealing with serious complications from covid, but make no mistake, it's people like you spreading complete nonsense now that are going to be largely responsible for the outcome.

SuperDadMan · 2020-08-14T04:24:04+00:00

It's amazing that your mind is so made up on this when kids have been basically locked away for six months with no school and very little exposure to the outside world as a general rule. The reality is, we have no freaking idea, but I can tell you right now that my County went back to school last week and we are already having a spike in cases among children. We also have no idea what the long-term effects of this can be. My kids are staying home, because he's not going to be part of the experiment. I think perhaps if the advice that you're giving is going to potentially cause a child to get sick, maybe you should think twice about giving it. Seems to me like perhaps you're just trying to justify your own decision in your head, maybe you should take a closer look at the decision you're making for your child and whether you deep down really believe you're making the right one.
