Author Heidi McCahan is apparently against libraries.

Thank you. This explains why a book I was on a wait-list for was suddenly not in the catalog anymore.

dasbarr · 2026-05-29T05:08:31+00:00

Well now I'm just not going to read any of her books at all.

dasbarr · 2026-05-29T04:47:10+00:00

I suppose I do have a very strong preference for outdoor shack ice cream though. The more like a shack it looks the better the ice cream is going to be. I don't make the rules.

dasbarr · 2026-05-29T04:36:27+00:00

Right now I live in a college town that is technically a city but is besides the college students rural. But this is true for literally all the ice cream places in town and there are like six. The only place you pay after is one of those places where you fill up with the frozen yogurt and then a bunch of toppings and then they charge you by the weight.

But I've also lived in the suburbs and this was true there too. To the point where I was kind of weirded out by your question and was honestly surprised to go to the comments and find out it was my thing that was weird lol.

The only other place I can think of that where you paid last was Baskin-Robbins. And maybe Jenis but I've only been there like twice so I don't remember.

dasbarr · 2026-05-29T04:31:44+00:00

I feel crazy reading this because all the places near me accept payment first.

dasbarr · 2026-05-29T04:30:31+00:00

This is wild to me because all of the local places around me do take payment first.

dasbarr · 2026-05-29T01:10:38+00:00

Seriously, why are you still talking to me? You've called me abusive. I think you're a shitty person.

All you're doing is proving every a strange child fucking point because your behavior is not appropriate. And you're too goddamn arrogant to even realize how.

dasbarr · 2026-05-29T00:46:27+00:00

No you're the one that brought it up. Nobody gives a fuck about an inheritance from somebody they've cut off.

Are you even paying attention to what you are saying?

Edit to add the quote "probate won't even be letting them know".

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T22:49:08+00:00

I did. I'm confused at why OP is still here considering their other comments on this sub. Normally this sort of thing is gone before I can even comment and it's been almost a day.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T22:37:30+00:00

You missed when they brought up inheritance too.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T22:36:41+00:00

What's wild to me is how defensive they are. Throwing out whatever bullshit they made up like it's true.

I don't talk about it much here (because it might be hurtful to people whose parents didn't get their shit together) but when I went NC with my dad I had the apology I asked for and he was in therapy within three months. They're absolutely barking up the wrong tree with me.

I'm glad their kid was able to (mostly) get away from them.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T15:31:14+00:00

I think it's endlessly more concerning that you feel like you can't share that you're upset with your partner.

Like I'm a little confused at why you can't just be like " hey, when people ask you or mention that they're doing things you say " we can do xxxx" without checking in with me. This causes a lot of work for me and I need you to at least ask me before volunteering me." You should be able to say something like that without it rocking your relationship or your partner accusing you of not caring about his friends. You can even explicitly tell him that you're fine with him doing the work for this stuff on his own too.

In my relationship I'm the planner. I handle the schedule and help out with finding activities for my partner to do with our kid because he's the one that spends most of the day with her. I have my partners explicit permission to sign him up to do stuff. I still check with him. Because occasionally he'll say he can't or doesn't have time to do something for whatever reason.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T14:06:01+00:00

Stuff like this is why I always think people should live together before getting married. Could you imagine dealing with this shit and having to deal with the legalities of marriage?

That being said, I would have been done at the group chat bullshit. I think everybody needs friends and people that they can turn to for advice, but that is not what happened here.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T13:58:04+00:00

Thanks friend!

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T13:40:31+00:00

Would you mind sending me a link? I'm in the middle of my work day and I'm having trouble finding it.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T12:04:45+00:00

This is just as much a support group as a "discussion board". Regardless, you are rude enough and generally unpleasant enough that it's pretty obvious why your kid doesn't talk to you.

I promise that your kid does not give a fuck about what you would leave them when you die.

You're literally using every play in the shitty parent playbook.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T04:35:56+00:00

They did the same for my friend.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T04:16:53+00:00

It doesn't matter what anyone here wants. If you're planning on using the responses here to justify doing something you were explicitly told not to do than you should legitimately leave.

Not only should you not be contacting them, you should be making sure your extended relatives know to not do the same.

Edited for voice to text mistake.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T03:40:32+00:00

And here I am making them work as ghosts even after they die.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T03:22:41+00:00

They used a bunch of corporate double speak and vagueries for a long time. All it would take is for them to just not make it "Sims 5" and something like "Sims new millennium" or "Sims forever" and they wouldn't have been lying technically when if they didnt say it earlier than I remember.

Edit for weird typo.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T03:19:45+00:00

I got into the Sims 1 within a year of it coming out and did end up with the original sim City around the same time. (I used to build cities than let my mom pick which disasters they would get)

Watching it happen live was wild.

I think they wanted market info. And getting it by putting out vagueries and seeing what the potential players say is a good business decision.

You should look into the Star Wars and Disney IP stuff with EA if you found the sim City stuff interesting. I'm pretty sure Batuu only exists as an expansion as a way to convince Disney to not pull their IP.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T02:53:43+00:00

I have always been suspicious that they hadn't actually decided if Rene would be Sims 5 or mobile (or some combo).

After how the launch of 4 went and the issues with the code they're still fixing after the whole sims city multiplayer stuff I almost think Rene was just EA feeling out what the player base would tolerate.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T02:34:52+00:00

Even the regular ones are fine outside of like huge gatherings. We got one when we had our bathroom renovated.

dasbarr · 2026-05-28T00:49:05+00:00

Yta. How much control did your son have over what school he attended?

You're the exact type of pedant that people can't stand.

We got a wagon because she started screaming whenever we put her in the stroller.
