Never have I heard someone quite as well capture the appropriate sound to make when you've achieved "yeah sex is great but have ya..." for gushing over all the specs that make something you're showing off so awesome.
It works for cars, it works for stereo systems, it works for a new smoothie blender, it even works for the wildly unhealthy recipe you invented that's dripping the most decadent yet delicious shit you could cram into it before serving it to your friends like you make Gordon Ramsey look like a Killer Cook.
Blue used to be for girls as it was seen as more “dainty,” while pink used to be associated with boys as it was seen as the stronger color. It didn't change until the 1950s when some big advertising campaigns pushed pink as a feminine color exclusively for girls.
Man I should offer lessons on adulting. Lesson 1, nobody is doing it well, everyone is faking. Lesson 2, we're all jealous that you're still a child, milk that shit. Lesson 3, stop listening to old man complain, go have fun.
No no no. You need some real shit in there, 1. Get a high pay job NO ONE wants to do, CDL class A Hazmat, Janitorial, dump worker, these jobs pay more, and are less willing to fuck with you, as your hard to replace 2. Dump every dime you can afford onto a stock index of your choosing with the lowest brokerage fees you can find, do this until you have 100K in stocks 3. Put a down payment on the most expensive house you can possibly convince anyone to let you buy, immediately get the lowest interest rate loans, mortgages, and so forth against the total value of your home, dump it all into a stock index of your choosing, repeat step 2 & 3.
Whats funny to me is people who want for their kids something they see inadequate in themselves. Like obviously as a man you can't teach your kids to be a man then you must not know how.......
I kinda feel like that's the entirety of good parenting. Some things have higher or lower priorities, but ideally, I want my children to be more competent than me in everything I know how to do and more.
I see that as a recipe for failure. Expectations are fine but when you expect for from someone else than you do yourself. Well that hypocrisy and will lead to either hate or neroticism. Every parent should just want their kids to be happy.
