he’s not even going to remember their names or how many are even out there, so the wording of it will be... well, about what anyone could expect from someone making these kinds of excuses for his behavior.

it doesn’t matter why she was mocking her child, but that aside, the education system is a bit of a joke; there’s no guarantee that “following the rules” would somehow produce a successful human being anyway. it’s designed to churn out average people at best; it’s not like he was spitting in the face of some wonderful…

honestly, reminiscent of the comment sections whenever spanking comes up. people (and parents) that are cool with hitting kids show up in droves :/ .

what she said was awful, and i doubt it was the first or only time. plus, growing up in that kind of environment is not the kind of thing that just leaves you. most people remember their school bullies and how those bullies made them feel; with a bully parent, the impact is that much more. people mistreated by parents…

adding on here, since it disappeared elsewhere:

honestly; it’s really not even that hard to understand. he was belittled and mocked by a parent, which he’s freed himself from owing any fortune to. people in other scenarios express this all the time, from escaping bad bosses to ditching toxic friends to leaving crappy (or even abusive) relationships, and even other…

I’ll let you be the judge of that.

while i guess some could say it’s natural to feel owed something from a child after putting in the work to raise them... you’re not owed. feeding them and clothing them is pretty bare minimum stuff. it’s part of caring for the child you brought into the world, not some checklist to hold over their head later on, for…

this doesn’t sound like “worrying” to me, it’s exactly what it was labeled in the article: mocking. really disgusting that so many people here don’t see a problem with a parent addressing their child this way, and even worse, believe that the mocked child owes part of their fortune to the mocking parent. 

well, that was needlessly rude. i get that it’s a trend with headlines here, but for this particular topic, not great.

it’s just a guess, but i would think that it was easier for Sam’s dad to accept when it was “the team” wearing Dubai Air, and part of “the team’s” doing. Sam being highlighted individually, in some ways becoming a face of Dubai Air, was probably over the line for him, though.

Street Food is wonderful, but make sure you have a full tummy before watching; too many delicious things to watch it on an empty stomach. 

there are some decent creams out there too that might help, in combo or on their own; ProFoot’s Heel Rescue cream + socks worked wonders for me.

lol, no.

same feeling re: Dr. Fieldstone... i enjoyed the first season so much that i suspect this will be another thing that turns wonderful by the end, but it’s tough right now, to the point that her treatment of Ted actually seems unprofessional instead.

was also wondering if this was part of it. even if he’s moved on, i’m sure there’s the usual section of the internet that grabbed their pitchforks about it.

seconding this; it almost (but not quite) even convinced me to watch the other Suicide Squad movie. 

can’t wait for more on Friday :)

sometimes on international trips, but it’s not really worth it on US domestic trips (usually too brief to bother). it can be really nice though, to have something boozy to sip on while reading a book, watching a movie, etc. during the flight. also might help ease some of the discomfort of the seats and/or dealing with…

yeah! between that and being in School of Rock, i can see that.
