I just imagined a world where for 10 years I told my child I loved them and then for them to within less than a year, stop responding and then actively shame you for doing so.

Whenever I hear a single-sentence story about how a parent did nothing but love their child and the child decided to drop contact out of nowhere, I always wonder what context has been withheld.

The Missing Missing Reasons

Choir boy disguise.

Something something carbon monoxide?

Padme: Because you read the article, right?

We are talking about Counter Strike. Nothing has fundamentally changed in 2 decades.

Someone call the memetics department. About what, I forget…

I love these. I wish there were fighting game and arcade stick communities on lemmy but it doesn’t seem to have a big demographic here.

They didn’t figure on Reddit making it 5 years either. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

You might get better answers from FetLife, basically social media for “kinksters”.

90s Nickelodeon was teaching kids early lessons about workers’ rights, remember the Rocket Power episode where they ran a repair garage, or the Doug episode where they ran a lawnmowing business?

I vaped some essential oil once upon a time…

Isn’t that generally ill-advised? Or are there essential oils that are safe for that?

“I fired them because I disliked the color of their…car. Yeah that’s it.”

You can be fired for any reason, including illegal ones, because it’s so easy to just give a different reason officially.

That’s a long time to wait to check your mail.

India has aligned itself with China, Russia, Brazil, and South Africa. All countries that have been kicked out of the international adults table

…because their leadership act like babies.

Second quote is me completing the original. Why did you cut that last part of the sentence out?

You are aware you just counted 40% of the world population, and with them comes 20% more? So you dismissed more than half of human population in one sentence?

Ah that’s why. Yeah no they didn’t. They were talking about the people leading those countries, not the entire population.

Let’s not even talk about racist part, which I hope is not intentional, when you take a look of who left on your “interational adult table”.

It’s racist to call someone of another race “boy”.

It’s not racist to say that a country’s leadership is acting childish. Heck it would actually be racist if someone were to say “all Indians are childish.” But that’s not what happened.

People call other people childish all the time without a hint of racist intent.

Ganbatte, PC-san.

Stop the count! We finally know the answer to “How many shootings is enough?”

Alternatively: Wear a new funny shirt.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one! Gives me massive Jen vibes.

To fill it out to be 4 panels, obviously! The artist chose wrong on this one, it could have easily been one panel, which I feel better suits this sort of rambly relatable non-punchline formula.
