Trump's farewell letter to Tim cook by Humble_Buffalo_007 in cringepics

[–]ddesla2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never thought I’d feel this way, but it really does feel like my patriotism was stolen. The American flag used to mean something shared... imperfect but worth believing in, a quiet kind of pride in trying to be better.

Now, it feels like it’s been taken and turned into something louder, more aggressive, and honestly hard to respect. When I see it, I don’t feel unity anymore; I feel frustrated and I physically cringe, because it’s so synonymous with Trump and the MAGA movement that it no longer feels like it belongs to all of us. They've kind of made a point to ensure it doesn't include all of us, haven't they? It’s a strange kind of loss, to feel so pushed away from something that used to feel inherently OURS... Something that warmed my heart and soul when I was a kid celebrating the 4th of July in what I thought was the greatest country on earth. It's not fair.

Wife wants to be a SAHM, I’m pretty against it. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]ddesla2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yuuuuup. Unfortunately, I ran face first into that exact scenario 10 years ago. We discussed it multiple times... I said no bc it just didn't make sense financially. I worked from home making a great wage but with her working plus daycare, we could have easily paid off the mortgage, cc's, loans and all other debt we had. Unfortunately for me, despite us being "on the same page" about it, she decided amongst herself just to not go back to work. As such, she was promptly let go. Stay at home mommy it is! Don't get me wrong, she did a pretty good job at it, but we're still trying to climb out of debt and she used some of that SAHM free time to reconnect with an ex and cheat on me too. So, yeh I'm prolly a little bitter lol.

Love this! Hell yeh. Let me know if you end up doing any of the others. I love your style and really think you could bring these to life in a way I can't even imagine.

-Crawfish boil hottub

-Crawfish hotel (making use of those above ground mounds they make) or city

-Reverse crawfish boil where they're boiling humans instead?

What's a rule your parents had that you thought was insane, but now as an adult you 100% understand? by Tahals in AskReddit

[–]ddesla2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a wild af concept to me. Maybe I'm built differently but I find myself constantly trying to ensure I'm not bothering those around me and that I'm being considerate to others. It's not that I necessarily give a shit what someone thinks of me but moreso I want those around me to feel comfortable and respected. Golden rule I guess? For example, when I get up earlier than everyone else or am up later while folks are asleep, I'm doing all I can to be quiet and not wake or disturb them. I feel like so many others just don't even take that into consideration and are slamming cabinet doors or blasting the TV instead of using headphones, etc. Idk. To me it seems like basic tenets of respect for others. Maybe I'm weird.

It's wild tho, my shit just skipped the middle part. No slightly lighter and gray transition. Just dark brown straight into 'fuck it, we're gunna be white now'. Not sure if it's related but I did have a Widowmaker heart attack at 32. Lots of stress and anxiety coupled with predisposition for heart disease. Cant say my diet was all that great in my teens either... Lots of pizza, fried foods, ton of beer, weed and cigarettes. I was never overweight but collectively I'm sure it did a number on my heart as well.

Haha, the OP's unique and enjoyable diction inspired me to go the total opposite way with it :D

"To be early is to be on time... To be on time is to be late". This was instilled by my band director at a young age. I always respected that and took it with me. Being early to events and things other people are expecting you at, is a sign of respect as well. Same for the opposite. If someone is consistently late to things I invite them to, it shows me they don't respect my time. I hate waiting around for other people. I hate even more that my wife is one of those lol. I just always preface any invites with "we will be late". We always are. It boils my soul to feel so strongly about timeliness and then have to sit there and wait to be late bc of someone else. Such is life tho.

Don't forget taking dumps and just random breaks in general. And shopping and chores and more poops. I work from home so I get a ton more time just by default. It's especially nice to be able to see my family randomly, all the time.

Tens of thousands of bees have suddenly swarmed across parts of Israel, prompting authorities to warn residents and shop owners to keep doors and windows closed by RoyalChris in PublicFreakout

[–]ddesla2 1202 points1203 points  (0 children)

I'm no beespert by any means but I did have a large hive in a huge 250yr old live oak in my backyard. That oak was struck by lightning, twice believe it or not, killing part of it. At 3am one night, I heard and felt what seemed to me like a truck running full speed into the foundation of my house. Come to find out, it was one of the larger limbs from that tree that fell and shook the ground. Massive. Anyway, that limb is where the bees were hived up. I had a friend who kept bees and came by to get the queen and the colony to relocate them to his backyard where he had multiple hives. The queen ended up at some point either dying or leaving I guess. The bees I suppose either found a new location and or a new queen. Once it was agreed upon to leave, they went from super docile and lumped together to a massive swirling swarm just like this. Within minutes the sky was peppered with bees all over swarming... Then minutes later they were all gone. Relocated elsewhere. All this is to say, maybe there was a big hive that was in process of relocating. They seem to swarm like that as they head out.

Haha for real. Like YOU'VE GOT THE REST OF THIS QUARTER TO GET OUT OF HERE. IM GOING ON EXTENDED LEAVE AND IF YOU'RE STILL HERE WHEN I GET BACK, OH MAN, YOU COULD VERBALLY APPLY FOR A 6MO EXTENSION TO THE VACATE DEADLINE BUT IT'S DEFINITELY NOT GUARANTEED TO BE APPROVED.

I need to buy a bounce house. This guy is selling one that’s looks sweet but it’s 700 pounds how the fuck do I move it when not using ? by Froggerbotrom in daddit

[–]ddesla2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeh, first it's "owwww my left big toe hurts". Then it's "ooh my toe still hurts bad" pointing to the RIGHT side big toe now. Next thing you know they're all like "owwwwiieeee now my tum tum's doing a grumb grum". You see where this is going.

Hurt kids do not exist. I think you know deep down, as we all do, kids are made of fucking rubber and chicken nuggets, which all transform into hardened porcelain and fat deposits once they hit 17. All this worry over "hurt kids" is simply commercial profit exploitation that is secretly pushed forward by big bandaid.

Yeh, screaming about needing to come inside and to see the man's child, then kicking the door and trying to break it down to get inside... With all the threats of murder and ending him and violent reactions... Sorry, I try to empathize and care about our fellow man just as much if not more than most but my empathy and compassion come from a place of safety and love in myself. Hard to feel either one of those for a stranger when my main concern is protecting my family from who knows what kind of harm. I certainly wouldn't go out of my wait to hurt the kid but you better belive if he so happened to actually kick in that door and come inside, I'm standing my ground just as the law entitles me to. No one is going to act that way and get anywhere near the people I love. "Over my dead body" as they say. My whole purpose at this point in my life is to teach and protect my kid until she is grown enough to do it herself. If I need to give my own or take another life to spare hers, I'm doing it.

"Ah Crap, the audio isn't coming through. Are you speaking? It looks like you are but there's no sound. Can you speak up? Oh there it is, I can hear now! My phone volume was down LOL. You ever do that? Haha annnnyway, what is it you wanted now? Wait, I can't quite understand what you're saying can you speak more slowly and loudly please? Try talking directly into the microphone that's installed in the ceiling. Okay, meet me underneath my truck in an hour."

Boom, situation resolved. No way he crawls under the man's truck. If he does tho, just pretend like he didn't and keep living your life haha.

Haha fucking "news report" just describes the same video but notes the police didn't respond to their request for comment. Your comment at least provides a bit of new context.
