minor inconveniences that are not struggles

[nachobro]

the only diapers i plan to change are my own

[BisMarckie]

I have never and will never touch a diaper.

Don‘t kink shame

[skullstorm]

I just want it to be known I wore rubber gloves for the whole diaper business so I did not get poop on my pure hands. My hand model dream will live on.

[Kara]

Imagine thinking you're a man, and then pussing out on diaper duty because "it's too icky."

Perpetuating toxic (smelling) masculinity? That's pretty cringe bro.

[Rufus]

can't trust 'em, man, it's why I don't nap

[Tasty]

Edit- Eh I guess dadshaming ain't cool.

[Tasty]

I admittedly lack whatever trait gives people the desire to procreate which I guess makes me less of a hu-man.

That’s really more what I meant, although I’m not exactly thrilled about the idea of handling shit either lol.

In reality, I mostly share this view. Down with breeders.

[brawndolicious]

Doesn't matter if it's government or private, a machine can produce more bullshit than any man. The utility company I work at has a grant program for qualifying residents but they only approve it after you talk to a couple levels of CSRs.

Maybe she means this

Babysitting/cooking/cleaning/notresting duties are over for now, I'm going home tomorrow phew. But I got mosquito bites on both hands, ankles and butt cheeks today so I'm going home ITCHY AF ALL OVER 

[skullstorm]

Mosquito bites all over? Jesus christ that's fucked up, it's a never ending thing for most?

Lol yeah I do realize and that's why I'm so glad I don't have and don't want kids and neither does my partner. The amount of cooking, cleaning, dishes, laundry, stress and shit multiplies with kids and I just don't get how people with small kids stay sane lol.

Granted I am a very lazy person and do just the bare minimum with everything so having to just do housework and looking after a two year old (who can't be left alone for five seconds) with no breaks the whole day is like actual torture for me  It's just so not in my nature to be on top of everything all the time.

I've always thought people who shit on stay-at-home parents and say it's not work are dumb but now I know they're really fucking dumb. Shit's exhausting. I struggle to get anything done normally but these few days, good thing I even found time to brush my teeth.

Today I built a lego pirate ship and it is an inch and a half too tall for the shelf I wanted to put it on

It's not mosquito bites, it's chickenpox. Hope you enjoyed the baby disease vector-sitting

I still pay $100 a month in court related fees, now I have to pay for this stupid SR-22, my credit card interest and student loans are whack, that doesn't even include car payments... on $10/hr... how's a brother supposed to survive like this...

Is there a service job with lower customer care than bank telling ? Need to start work early today so looked for a branch of my bank I could swing by on the way at 8:30am. I get there and for some reason they don't open as advertised ? I know stuff happens but it seems there's always something with banks ("Oh no we don't have ATM anymore here despite being on one of Paris major places lol") on top of absurd opening hours.

Fifteen minutes late now.

Edit : Opened 25 minutes late. No explanation, no word of apology.

"You're forced to be our client anyway, whether you like it or not."

[Kara]

There are a lot of whispers about French banks failing at the moment...

Is that so ? I'm not in one tho.

I've heard this every year since 2017 but Italy already agreed to austerity measures this year so...

I'm pretty sure it's a common thing for banks to have some things starting running after the official opening hour. Can't remember the reason exactly, but that was the case in my bank before I moved to the UK (and I think some of them here do the same).

Deutsche Bank has been failing for years and we’re fine.

The coffee machine ?
I mean I only needed to access the ATM for a check deposit.
I'm just glad I only have to enter a bank a couple of times a months.

[BIONIC]

Imagine having a bank instead of keeping all your money in coins in jars and boxes scattered around your house 

Imagine believing in currency like a dirty capitalist LOL

I'm waiting for a UPS delivery guy and I have a feeling they won't show up. They were supposed to come last week but I had to reschedule since I was out of town and now the more I wait the more I'm convinced they're not gonna come and I have to go collect the package from their collection point in the middle of nowhere, and of course I don't have a car.

Also there was another package I was expecting coming from overseas and I was wondering what's taking so long and went to track the package just to find out it's been in Turkey for over a week? That's like on the complete opposite side of Europe ffs and now it's stuck there? Awesome.

Starting to feel like Bork here 

[skullstorm]

Huh, UPS guy did come. Now if I could just figure out how to get the other package from bloody Turkey 

[shosta]

Internet shut off now  So what if I'm $391 past due?!

So I don't normally bring up irl friend stuff cause it's bad form, but I found out one of my friends in my small tight-knit social group of friends seriously believes in pizzagate and I tried to counter that but she's like seriously ingrained into it and now I'm kinda like

Also glad now that I didn't try to date her

Talking about paranoid peeps, I had the following conversation today:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Me: I randomly stumbled across this regulation, but apparently we were supposed to fluoridate all the mid-to-large water systems starting 10 years ago. I think we did a handful of them and then it just sort of fell through the cracks but the regulation is pretty clear.

Coworker: Yeah...but it's probably one of those laws that aren't really enforced due to...

Me: Oh like the public paranoia about government mind control and whatever? Like is there pending litigation on it?

Coworker: Yeah maybe and also people can get fluoridated mouth wash and whatever and so if they really want their kids to have fluoride, it's probably better to leave it in the hands of the parents.

Me: You can't trust parents to make health decisions. Look at what happened with vaccines.

Coworker: Actually when I vaccinated my dog, it DEFINITELY changed her mood. So now that my granddaughter is going to school and has to get a whole giant list of vaccines, it makes you think...

*I then go down the list of scientific arguments and explain how lead/mercury is absorbed via vaccines and then the massive difference between the trace amount and the regulatory threshold*

[close]

So I learned not to argue with well-educated hippies even if I'm right and that I want to ensure every kid in California is pumped full of fluoride.

[Madrun Badrun]

Been growing out a bad hair cut and I look hideous.  Also, I gained like 20 pounds this year.  Also, I stopped working out so it's all fat. 

[Kara]

I got owned so bad, brehs.

I foolishly thought it would be possible to ship a package on short notice to that remote corner of the universe, London (Unbelievable Krimewave, not Ontario). Today I roll into a local private mail carrier and they tell me it's not really possible. Now my fate lies in the hands of DHL to maybe deliver it 2 days later than I wanted, which is about on par with trusting your fate to your imaginary friend (people believe in god, no one believes in DHL).

This is what happens when the overwhelming majority of your experience in international shipping is overnighting documents to tax havens.

[Madrun Badrun]

It's going to be weird reading history books in 20 years when they write about how the people's revolution was crushed because the signal to uprise was delayed by two days. 

[shosta]

$184 a month for my car insurance
time to take the bus, brehs

[shosta]

It's been two years since I've even driven a car, leave me alone

[shosta]

I did in June! Wtf! I've only drunk once since then, when I posted in the selfies thread.

[CatsCatsCats]

Have a white claw and smoke 💨 and then run stro over like a liberal trucker

Was that this?

So I went to a gathering hosted by some friends of friends last night. I got pretty inebriated, and at a certain point I passed out on one of their couches for a bit. It turns out that I was asleep, lying face up, with a very visible erection in my slacks for nearly an hour, and everyone at the party saw it, and a couple girls took pictures with it 

Get help. Start selling me your used undies to pay for it.

[shosta]

That was a Glen post which I didn't get a chance to veto 

[TVC15]

Oh, Glen, eh? Something tells me this “Glen” fellow is responsible for all of your shameful drunken shenanigans.

There's like a whole plotline I missed here.

[shosta]

There's like a whole plotline I missed here.

You weren't here, but for a week in March while I was on a short hiatus, Glen used my account to unload a torrential stream of abuse on everyone in this forum. Souls were crushed and egos were obliterated beyond repair. The linked post was what he thought would be an interesting ongoing shtick but I gave it a thumbs down. I did not mention this to help him save face for an extremely tasteless post but now that people think I am back to extraordinary alcohol abuse I am throwing him under the bus

[TVC15]

Show us the pictures the girls took with your very visible erection.

[shosta]

Are we going to Area 51 together or not?

[TVC15]

I dunno. I wanted to do it back before it was cool. It’s kind of ruined for me now.

I wanted to go there at night with you, drop some molly, and give you the hottest blowjay ever under the lights of UFOs.

[shosta]

There's an Area 15, if you want to do that instead

And people think I'm paranoid! This is some Willco era fuckery!

Looking at wiki, that’s an old nuclear test site? Sounds like a great place for hot blowjays.

[shosta]

Stro, every time you post, I get worried that you're about to stroke out.

[shosta]

Anyway, if you gomers need more clarification, take it to PM because I was just posting to complain about the empirical quantification of my risk to society and about this shit

[TVC15]

The mods should look at the IP address of the post in question and see whether it came from a shosta-y or Glen-y source.

[Kara]

tfw u realize Glen sees all ur LF-Bore PMs and knows it's all a con

[shosta]

I have a resting heart rate of 48

Wow, you really are dead inside

[TVC15]

Stro is a total beefcake, shosta. Don’t fuck with him. I won’t even hit on him because I’m afraid of him.

[BIONIC]

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo

[jorma]

So the other day the delivery guy came with the Swedish Snus i ordered online, and she asked me for id because you have to be 18 to buy it.
And i didn't have my id ready, and it was an ordeal to find.

And now that someone mentioned it, it's funny that she thought i might be under 18 because lemme tell you, i haven't been that young in a few decades and more.
