The new "phone, wallet, keys"

Recommenting from another post

I sent a text to those I love in any capacity, even former coworkers who’ve probably deleted my number. Not a group text - one by one. I think it’d be prudent for all US readers to consider doing the same.

Knowing some of you are like me, in that you might not know how to word such a text to someone not expecting it from you, I offer you my copy/pasted text:

America has a concentration camp now. I won’t send you anything more…it’s kind of rude that I’m sending this one. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/donald-trump-announces-plan-to-send-migrants-guantanamo-bay/

Doesn't seem like misreporting. I found other sources reporting it too.

The dork in me loves when Tim does not end a line with a preposition.

+1 Sudden Urge!

I slept on most of the post-Endgame catalogue except for maybe 5 songs, and this was not one of them. I eased up on the skip button one day in the car recently and got to hear it again, for what felt like the first time. It gave me chills.

My read on it was that onstage he'd ogle underage girls/attendees, really flexing the rockstar swagger or whatever. He'd somehow relay to them an invitation to meet him after the show, and he'd bring them onto the tour bus where he'd pressure or trap them into having sex.

A silver lining is, as I read it, the rest of the band immediately disavowed him. Some fans/ commenters alleged the other band members had to have been aware he was doing this, particularly citing the close quarters of the tour bus. Yet, the band holds its stance that they really did not know.

The Whitest Kids You Know Hitler Rap feels awfully familiar for the times.

I've known it exists but have never seen it. We thought the recent Wolf Man was not great, not terrible. I think we'll try to slip this into a movie night soon!

It was on that one show, right?

I've pondered frozen hot dogs. You can get a pack of 36 and whip'em from your car into recipients' homes and driveways. If you don't actually break anything you minimize how much anyone else will care, and you might force them to decide whether to whine to the cops/courts about vandal hot dogs or just relish their new reality.

My wife and I had to struggle to remember the word "hook" in the context of "the phone is off the hook".

That is much more reasonable, one of a couple possibilities I'm now seeing.

So many of these parents seem to handwave responsibility from fictional scenarios.

Do appreciate the classic “yOu MuSt NoT hAvE kIDs” response to literally any form of parental criticism though.

"But I learned it from you!" 😭

Awkward to say...but you can be an armchair parent even if you have kids :|

This could be. I mentioned in another reply, I did assume I'd only see local currency prices. Seeing 3+ responses questioning the currency makes me think that's a likely explanation.

Well...I didn't consider that. I tried to find the ad again but couldn't make the same one appear. I did get a different Amazon ad which I clicked through and confirmed its price was in USD. I did assume I'd only see ads with prices in local currency but that could be a bad assumption.

Hello Armchair Parent! And welcome.

Plenty of actual parents relate to dropping whatever they're doing to find out why kids 1 and 2 are screaming in another room (argument, saw a spider, "play" screaming, who knows). That gives an eternity of time to a mischievous 2yo kid #3 to grab the shiny toy so carelessly dropped without being locked GASP! and then tap not just twice but >100 times.

Factor in a parent being a normie mobile user whose browser already has permission to open Amazon links in their Amazon app, and then it's only a matter of the 2yo clicking big cartoony button "Buy Now" and then big cartoony button "Place Order" but hey what are the chances of that :P

Now Ditch Mitch is less a campaign slogan and more a nickname

I don't claim to know where the line is, and the following may not be enough of a difference.

But your words in the mod log are different. The "okay with" in your comment above wasn't in the removed comment.

"Being okay with bad thing" is at least a little more nuanced than "Bad thing must happen"

Shits 'n giggles
