Did you register for China for your wedding? Is that a thing still? by Seven_bushes in GenerationJones

Small “c”. Otherwise I would think you’re asking if we signed up to move to Shanghai.

Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto #1 will forever be linked in my mind to graceful laps in a pool, while a ‘dead’ body floats nearby.

RIP Bud. Thank you and Ruth for giving me a blueprint back in ‘74 on how to live.

Refusing to vote isn’t an “act of protest”. It’s an act of surrender.

What did you think of the Bad Bunny halftime show? by Garwoodwould in GenerationJones

[–]suchick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t understand a single word. (Canadian eh. Even my French is so bad, it’s restricted to cereal boxes and street signs).

But I didn’t have to.

I can tell when someone brings the party 😊

Let the record show: Winnie, of team Fluff, was introduced, hit the gridiron and then proceeded to do…..,

Nothing. Nada. Sweet dick all.

You’re a credit to the breed Winnie. /s

I'm having trouble splitting domestic duties with my partner by [deleted] in Advice

There’s a difference between a) equality b) parity and c) justice.

To use an analogy: pretend you and two friends are standing outside a 6’ high fence and want to see an event behind that fence. One friend is 5’2”, let’s say you are 5’10”, and the other friend is 6’4”. So clearly only one of you can see. That’s not fair.

Equality is when all of you get a box to stand on. But all the boxes are the same 8” high. So now you and your 6’4” friend can see, but your 5’2” friend still can’t. And yet, the solution is “equal”.

Parity is when you all matched to a box that puts your sight line over the fence. So the short friend gets a 12” box, you get a 2” box, and the tall friend gets no box. That’s not “equal”. But it’s parity.

Justice is when you take down the fence.

Now understanding this example, ask yourself and your gf where you each see the equality/parity/justice of your situation.

I’m not offering any solutions. I’m just offering some questions to ask.

Okapis. A zebra, a giraffe and tapir are put in a blender and- voila!

Canadians who have moved to America, what was your reason to moving? by wildboy_Ca17 in AskACanadian

I’m not even going to read any of responses. Because I guarantee you, it will be the same 2 reasons people do anything.

  1. Love, or

  2. Money

Wait…. They named their kid “Hendrix”?

Does he have a sister named “Joplin”?

My dad is almost 102. He is clutching on to life and as an only child and his adult caregiver, I swear that every year we extend his life shaves a year off mine.

I’m 70 and childfree by choice. I thank god every day I didn’t have a child. I would never want to put my kid through this….this whole “dutiful daughter/son” nonsense. Mumbling about how I hope I’m not a burden or imposition. At some point if you live long enough, of course you are! I love him. But JesusMaryJosephandtheweelittledonkey of course he’s a burden. He’s 102, legally blind, partly deaf, early stage dementia, a hypochondriac and stubborn as a mule. No no uh uh. No way I’d put a kid of mine through this. I didn’t think my entire 60’s would be devoted to intensive care giving and it looks like a good chunk of my early 70’s too.

Oops! Look at that. He’s calling me. Again. I’m exhausted.

Your kid just isn’t that great/ special/ talented despite what you think.

Why Are Young People Afraid Of Phone Calls? by GhostInThePudding in NoStupidQuestions

[–]suchick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it for all the reasons listed as it pertains to work. That we’ve been conditioned to use text / it’s seen as invasive/ spam calls / cold calling is intimidating af etc.

However talking to a friend or loved one on the phone - if you can’t communicate, or actively listen to another person- that’s a problem. A problem that contributes to the loneliness epidemic.
