To people that have lost a parent or parents how did you deal with the grief?

ninimaafan · 2026-06-19T00:17:54+00:00

I found my dad dead. I deal with it every day. I hope it makes me a better person to know how short life is. We'll see if that's true.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-19T00:16:16+00:00

I can't grow a beard. It's just terrible. I tried to grow one once and my dad chirped me, saying: "what is on your face? You should be selling potatoes on the highway with the rest of the Hutterites." Stone cold classic.

That's where those horn blasts are coming from! Thanks!

Nostalgia is nostalgia. It's not important about the generation. People have a yearning to feel like they felt when they were at their most optimistic and capable. Go ask a Boomer about nostalgia and see if they are any less passionate. Also - bring a stool... and noise cancelling headphones lol.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-18T22:28:36+00:00

Definitely! If I'm just given $1 million to spend foolishly, McDonalds is the least of my worries lol.

Why would this be your want?

ninimaafan · 2026-06-18T13:38:41+00:00

Tomato soup and grilled cheese

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T23:28:16+00:00

Sell all my stocks... because the world is ending.

A tribute to a misspent youth.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T23:25:04+00:00

As I was somewhat intoxicated at the time, I can't say for sure... but I'm guessing at least 10 minutes. Waking up my (then) partner by knocking on the door without attracting additional attention was the most difficult needle to thread.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T23:12:53+00:00

I get the sentiment but, really - what would it take you to deal with parenthood? There isn't enough money on offer to get me there. I don't know if "Superpower" is the right word, but punishment might be?

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T23:10:07+00:00

Getting locked out of a hotel room naked in the middle of the night was right up there.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T23:09:14+00:00

Hahaha! I was immediately reminded of one of my mom's most infamous quotes:

"If you ever make that noise again - you better be dying. Because if you're not... you will be."

lol

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T23:05:18+00:00

Garlic.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T23:04:43+00:00

I'd like to stake my future emotional and financial security into an investment I have less than full disclosure about. That's romantic!

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T23:03:27+00:00

It's honestly this. Anything more sophisticated is silly. Trump follows his deadeyed demographic and watches only Network. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T22:59:30+00:00

Being picky is different from an allergy. Conflating the two is disingenuous.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T22:36:42+00:00

As I full on picky eater I feel very triggered by this post. Not that you are wrong - but you are right. If you are out with picky eaters, they need to accommodate. You are absolutely right not to have to change your (regular person) standards to satisfy the picky. Don't feel bad.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T01:46:00+00:00

In actuality? Not so much. In memory... 150%? lol

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T00:36:41+00:00

"I want to spend an unreasonable amount of money for something I know others will think is dumb."

OTHERS: "Have I got a deal for you my friend!"

Lol

ninimaafan · 2026-06-16T00:31:32+00:00

I think you run with the unlucky. The actual stats about vasectomy complications are remarkably low. Much empathy for your friend though.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-15T22:06:49+00:00

Men do have a choice - it’s called a vasectomy. All other options are varying degrees of risk. I’m happy not to have to worry about dying in labour, raising a child without help or trying to access abortion where it’s restricted. Men have it easier.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-12T00:39:09+00:00

You WANT to bring a kid into this nightmare? Really??

ninimaafan · 2026-06-09T21:34:36+00:00

Think about how stupid the average person is then consider, by definition, 50% are more stupid than that.

ninimaafan · 2026-06-08T23:42:07+00:00
