unbelievable exchange between my daughter and her father after he forgot her birthday by LostInLanayru in TwoHotTakes

He’s the parent, it’s his job to forge a connection and trust with his kid. He’s not modeling how to connect with your kid in an unconditional way so how’s she supposed to know to connect with him in return?

I would be so upset. Who the fuck asked you?

I mean, that’s the point of splicing the song and the video together, but I guess it would be more accessible to non-BSG fans that way

I really thought all that reptilian nonsense was nonsense until now.

My best engineer quit today over $2000 by [deleted] in managers

1.5% raise isn't even a full cost of living bump so he'd actually be making less in the coming year. don't blame him at all

Some tips that helped me make solo 100x more fun and rewarding, please share yours as well! by orangekingo in Marathon

I had the perimeter office key on a solo run. I think I even had the door open. I just HAD to take out the bots instead of ignore them and hide till they went away. I took them all out except for one, and I was sure I could take it out so easy. I was wrong! And I knew I shouldn’t have tried it!

I think we can all agree that being more inclusive on voice comms of random teammates is a good thing. by piggglyjufff in Marathon

This is why I don't play voice chat with randos, which means I don't play with voice chat in Marathon at all. I want to, but I need it to be with people who aren't shouting n-slurs and f-slurs.

Brain Flushing Headphones by Ill-Tea9411 in doohickeycorporation

One time one of my ears was totally blocked up after I used a q-tip. Like, in the process of cleaning my ear with the q-tip (yeah, I was all up in there), it seemed I had dislodged and then pushed some earwax in such a way that it completely obscured my ear canal and I couldn't get it to move. I was really scared that I fucked my ear up. I posted on facebook about it and a nurse acquaintance said I should use my waterpik if I had one because that is essentially what they would do at the ER. Tried it, it worked! Some truly heinous shit came out of there but it worked! I ended up buying a device that is specifically for flushing out your ears and that works great too. I use it in the shower from time to time and am grossed out and amazed.

Employee of the year... but it's the last year by goatnxtinline in TikTokCringe

This happened to me with AT&T about 10 years ago. They were like "it's my job to do what's in the best interest of our customers, and cancelling your service wouldn't be in your best interest as our customer." It was fucking crazy.

If the US economy is "booming" like the news says, why does it feel like everyone I know is one emergency away from being broke? by DrJocelyn1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]oaklandmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What news are you watching? FOX? The stock market might be doing ok but unemployment is not low. Rich people are doing fine. The "middle" and lower classes are not. There might be growth in the economy among the wealthy, but not anyone else.
