I can literally go to any diner around me and there will be individually packaged containers of apple butter, usually next to whatever little packages of jelly they have on offer. I'm sorry you've suffered without for so long not noticing them

Buffalo...sauce? Buffalo, New York? Buffalo the ungulate? I am confused

Having been here since July of last year, there definitely are. The demographics skew towards older tech bro types, in my experience.

The real strength of current foldables, and why I love mine, is it's ability to multitask at a moment's notice. I really like being able to open it up and have each side used for a different thing. I also like holding it like a book-like ereader.

It's also unmatched as an emulator for ds games, which I value a lot! Maybe those things aren't for everyone, but the form factor really suits some stuff that I like to do frequently on my phone

(They are, that's why everyone gets bent out of shape when boomers are criticized here)

Don't kid yourself, bud.

Tolerance is a peace treaty. Once one party voids it, they are no longer protected by it. Very "so much for the tolerant left" of you.

Lmao Jesus it didn't take long for the mask to come off. Holy false equivalency and strawmaning, batman.

That would make sense if the mom wasn't also there parenting, trying to make some good memories with her family. Instead, creepy note guy ignores her entirely, which is very inline with what I'm talking about, unfortunately. Moms will and do get straight ignored while heaps of praise is lavished on dads just for being there with the kids. It's a pretty common experience, and I would feel pretty annoyed if I were the mom and I found that note before husband did.

Men getting excessive praise just for being a decent parent is extremely different than men just getting compliments. Let's engage in good faith here.

I mean, mom was there too and presumably has at least half of parenting influence on the kids. Why no paragraphs of praise for her, or even a mention beyond the fact that she guided in the trailer (which is only in there so the writer could compliment the dad more on getting it 'first try')?

Because of the implicit assumption that yeah, obviously moms are good at parenting–just business as usual–but when a DAD is good at it, strangers take the time to write a whole diatribe about it. Meanwhile mom gets no praise, she's just doing what she's supposed to in this guy's opinion.

Shit is fucked, exhausting, demoralizing, and so pervasive.

I'm not sure if it's quite what they were talking about, but the first season or two of the original Ghost Hunters was a lot like this. They would at least pay lip service to try and disprove the ghost, and I believe they even left a location and straight up told the owner that it probably wasn't haunted, just old

Aw this one is cute

Sure, there are those parents. And there are a lot of parents like the ones in the article. Saying it isn't so and covering your ears doesn't change the fact that this is an experience a lot of people are having.

We won't have it directly because the boomers have decided consistently across the decades to leave younger generations with nothing. This is just the latest version of that, except now they're doing it directly to their own children and yeah, it can smart. It's valid to express frustration at a generation that was handed everything, is leaving nothing, and now they're doing it in a more personal way.

Every other generation before and after them seem to be on the same page as far as accumulating enough to leave for the next generation so they can have better lives than you had. But not the Boomers, never them. They're going to get theirs and they deserve to have ALL of it. The next gen can earn their own way just like they had to, after all. Even though they voted away all opportunities to do that, and passing along generational wealth has always been a big key to any kind of success.

Is it not right at the top of the page?

Sexism will do that

HELL YEAH I NOW FEEL REPRESENTED AND WELCOME IN THIS SPACE SO I FEEL LIBERATED TO ALSO CRANK IT AROOO

Again, not according to the meme as posted. Kinda my point.

They need to hire people for that. Hope it won't be someone they fucked over too badly.
