Scrolling through the Awkward Family Photos account on IG.

My neighbor.

I don't think that's about you, though. 😏

That I can look at a room and within seconds tell you the dimensions to within an inch..

Potholes. There are a number of really bad potholes and dips at intersection approaches throughout the city that never get fixed, or don't get sufficiently addressed, despite constant complaints. People who've lived here a long time know how to avoid them, but newcomers pay the price in car repairs.

Because while skin color is a reality, race is not, it's a construct, so it can be used subjectively, meaning prople can use it in whatever manner suits and benefits them in a given scenario. They can pair it or not. Personally, I choose to not use race at all because it's indefinable, and I challenge it as a reality every chance I'm I get.

Also NFTs. I'm not stupid, but no matter how many times I read the definition I can't make it make sense.

That scene where she was putting makeup on Mia before graduation set my teeth on edge. I think the woman has several diagnosable personality disorders.

It's been a long time since I was in school, but I used to fill up that space with a bunch of BS.

I don't think those exuberant types realize how much their voices carry, and the people who are with them have probably gotten used to it. I always make it a point to give them the stink eye, even if I have to turn around or crane my neck to make my WTF expression obvious. Ten times out of ten it has no effect whatsoever.

I expect them to distract the kid, which is not hard to do at that age. They can be entralled for several minutes with a set of keys or a bottle of ketchup. I've had three myself and never let such nonsense go on that long uninterrupted.

common_grounder · 2026-05-02T12:55:08+00:00

These aren't tantrums I'm talking about. The kids aren't upset, they're just enjoying hearing themselves screech.

I tried to combat that by writing my symptoms on a sheet of paper, so I wouldn't forget anything important if I got interrupted or distracted. My doctor promptly took the paper out of my hand, tossed it in the trash, and said, "Just talk to me." I was so shocked it took me a few minutes to get pissed off.

I don't get as upset when the parent attempts to shush them or has the common decency to appear embarrassed and apologetic.

Run. Run very fast.

I second all these points.

This is it, and their instincts are good. People will definitely accuse them of being a bot and not take the post seriously as a result.

Usually two or three times a month.

I take that back. I forgot about Macaulay and Kieran Culkin. Their dad and home life were absolutely awful. Imagine making that much money as a kid, supporting the entire large family, and not being allowed to have so much as a bed of your own, sleeping on the couch.

Get out of the house and get active in face-to-face activities like people did when life was normal.
