I’m the opposite, lots of rapid fire photos, but I do photo a lot of animals. I don’t pose them either. I like candid shots of the pets doing there thing.

You know how to take your dish rack to the next level? Slap some large googly eyes on that bad boy. Surpise your mom. Make those memories.

The counter top ones take up a lot of space, and you cannot use your kitchen sink while it is running because it connects to your kitchen faucet. Which also means you need to have the correct kind of faucet for the attachment to fit. Also, dishwashers use a lot of power. There are hidden costs at play here, and with the price of power only going up, why wouldn’t I do dishes the cheap way? Not to mention haveing to buy dishwasher tablets and all the waste products created by the single use packaging.

I can get behind the Kindness Rebellion.

Targeted, systematic attacks on education, and a robust propaganda networks ran by billionaires.

This is going to be a weird suggestion, but I used to do professional stage makeup including wigs and bald caps. Has your mom considered getting a partial wig? Maybe a Mohawk or side hawk? It would have to be glued by a professional hair stylist, but it would be an excellent way to have hair but without sweating under a wig. Best of luck to your mom! Losing hair sucks.

I watched this movie in collage! It is definitely creepy and unsettling the whole way through. I never had a desire to watch it again either.

I knew a guy who had a bit of this brand of crazy and this is exactly what he did. Seemed to work out well for him, although he skipped putting delusional signs on it.

I’m sorry you feel stuck right now. I know you don’t want to hear this, but if you want to achieve your dream of a family you are going to need another job and therapy. Even if the women of your dreams showed up ready to get pregnant right now, you’re not ready. Do you really want to raise kids who know daddy hates himself? Do you really want your family to deal with your emotional spillover? Teaching kids emotional regulation is HARD and damn near impossible if you are struggling yourself.

There is nothing wrong with wanting a family. That is a fine goal and a perfect thing to look forward to. Many poeple are starting families later just bc of the cost of living, so I don’t think you will be too old even if it takes you another five years to get there.

There is someone out there for everyone. Maybe she can make all the money and you can be a stay at home dad! But you gotta get up, flip off the fucking world, and get a job and start putting together a social life of poeple who care about you. Stay safe and remember you are valuable and worthy of self love.

When poeple went on political rants at work I would say “let’s play a game. It’s called Don’t Talk Politics at Work. I’ll go first!” Then I would shut up, turn around and keep on working. Just replace politics with whatever. It’s low key funny with a deadpan delivery so I’ve never had anyone get mad at me for it.

Pretty sure there are some rules about not forcibly relocating US citizens to foreign war zones. Ah, who am I kidding, rules don’t apply to the GOP anymore.

Don’t be afriad to involve her in your stuff, even if it’s boy stuff. My dad taught me how to fix cars, wilderness survival, how to shoot guns, how to fix stuff, it didn’t matter that I was a girl, if I was interested he’d show me. I didn’t care that this was boy stuff, I just liked that I was helping dad.

With the bonus payoff of me being a rather handy cabable adult too! Although he did his fair share of playing Barbie and tea party as well.

She might not like all of your hobbies (I never liked fishing) but give it a shot! Don’t be afraid just bc some stuck up parents would be agast she’s learning to change the oil in the car.

Don’t forget the mercury poisoning!

Poeple get so mad when I’m driving them somewhere and I insist on using my GPS. “But I’m your GPS!” Yeah well maybe I want to see how many streets before the turn, or I want alerts about debri, police or road construction.

I live in appalachia, come on in! Cheap real estate and beautiful scenery. Seen houses in my small town for 40,000$. Jobs that pay well can be hard to find, but if you don’t mind traveling, or can work from home I’d recommend it.

You can be a totally happy weirdo in the future for sure. I’m autistic as well, diagnosed as an adult. It might take you longer to find something you don’t mind doing for work, or to form lasting friendships, but it’s totally possible.

As a fellow homestead owner I agree. There is no god. I was driving a goose to the emergency vet when she died in my passenger seat. It wasn’t…peaceful. Also have a large graveyard. Life is too short sometimes.

Mr Peanut has seen atrocities. It’s canon now.

I second finding other adults and asking them for help. As well as your father. Do you have family friends or family memebers who would be willing to hear you out and back you up? It may be possible to convince your mother this is a bad idea, but I suspect she will be more receptive to opinions from her peers as opposed to her children.

I will foolishly ride my dolly to safety like a wobbly skateboard. See you later losers!
