Kids don’t really know what they’re doing, but animals are just acting on instinct. My friend’s dog bit him right in the face when he was a kid — but that was when said friend dive-tackled him trying to play, which the dog interpreted as a pretty hostile act. Nobody was in the wrong here, because no one here had a…

What the Civil War taught us is that you can’t change people. We went to war to keep these backwards idiots in the country, and in the end, all they did was bite us for it. Just axe off the entire ex-Confederacy and let them see how long they survive on just Texas’ economy. Anyone who will obey the law in the rest of…

So she’s a tall lady who then turns into a dragon? That makes it *hotter* IMO

Vegan, then?

This is one of the few sensible takes I’ve seen about religious people on this site. More like this please.

Some people are right shitheads when they’re kids. Put a statute of limitations on this in your mind and remind yourself that people change with time. Then let it go, you’re only poisoning yourself.

On a tangent related to Sabrina, I’m sad that the new show is all “woo Satanism,” because that was like, way too fucking dark for me. I just wanted to see Sabrina have high school adventures and her silly mom/grandmoms/whoever they were again.

Good reason why? Chrono Trigger on cartridge is a collector’s item and also was like, one of THE pillars of the SNES golden age.

The issue here is that while game prices really need to go up, nobody’s wages are. So people want to pay what they can, which is what they paid back in the past, because they’re not getting any wealthier and can’t afford the new (and more accurate) prices.

I’ve learned there’s sort of two kinds of horror: creepy and scary. Scary is stuff like slashers, monsters, gross-out stuff, jump-scares, things that makes you scream and give you those “I’m going to die” nightmares. Creepy is atmosphere that makes you spend the entire time riveted and nervous, but you don’t get the…

I thought the dick fencing thing for a long time, but some people get such a tolerance that they have to keep upping the spice. My partner started with “habaneros are hot but I like them” and now puts reaper pepper on things because otherwise it doesn’t taste like spicy anymore. I am not joking. I feel like he needs a…

Careful with those, because you can eat so much acidic stuff that your stomach gets unhappy about it.

Kid pulls a cat’s tail — yeah, I’ve seen that. It also tends to create instant discipline, because the cat will decide it’s done with you and make you back off.

translation “you’re not allowed to complain about my child even if he’s murdering your pet in front of you.”

I’m glad that didn’t happen to me. I’d be in jail for dropkicking that child’s head like a football for killing my cat. I like freedom, but you fuck with my pets, you’re gonna catch all kinds of shit from me.

Regarding their bathroom bullet-point... I just wish we could change completely to gender-neutral bathrooms.

Also, please realize that your teenagers’ sleep cycle naturally shifts to “night owl.” Do your best to make sure your kid doesn’t have to wake up at 6 AM to go to school. No wonder teenagers are perpetually tired. Fight for later school days.

I’m very unsurprised that as-bright-as-possible versions of colors that water doesn’t produce, are the optimal pick here. I could’ve told them that without any testing. Of course dark colors look like shadows and pale blue vanishes instantly, while fluorescent orange shows up. That’s also why we use blaze pink and…

Yes. Yes, we did.

Your child is 9 and has nothing much in common with parents and everything in common with other kids. Also, 9 is old enough to play while the family does other stuff. This sounds like a case of Helicopter Mom.
