Previous generations used to understand, that their kids were their financial security, yet today, most women don't want a family until they have enough money to retire...

How the fuck did that change happen?

It should get you the exactly same results as folding carboard youtube.com/watch?v=2oukO2qD4O, and as a bonus, you won't even look autistic :D

Death stranding might be more meaningful, if it wasn't about a country that I hate already.

@Spag It is literally a stone too small for me to see.

I couldn't care less about it, there are enough stones in front of my house.

To this day, I think the best example is the oldest one.

"I won't make you a sandwitch, you're an adult, you can make it yourself" is the oldest one, but it still stands. Making a sandwitch takes 2 minutes FFS.

@Sprayfoam_Sal @LukeAlmighty As long as it’s appreciated. It hurts seeing a woman put in the requisite work to keep a home presentable to an HGTV-worthy degree without anyone in the family appreciating or noting it.

By the same token, she should appreciate it when we put in the work to bring home a paycheck to keep things running smoothly. Girls balk at the idea of greeting us at the door, write articles about how terrible it is to be told to greet her hubby with a kiss and a smile, but it really is an insanely cheap way to motivate us

interviewer: give me an example of a time when you took control of a situation

me: no, YOU give ME an example

interviewer: lol okay, that was pretty impressive

me: I’m afraid we’re going to have to let you go

interviewer: *being led away by security* what is happening right now

@LukeAlmighty The Cult of Oprah really made hay out of talking up the gamut of domestic chores, and it never went away.

Laundry isn’t hard, cleaning isn’t hard, even cooking isn’t hard. The things that made them tiresome and difficult have largely been automated, and the only way they ARE tough to do is when you have a big family, with children (poorly parented) constantly undoing all your work as you go.

THAT is indeed hard and thankless, but women never made that distinction, instead saying “being a stay at home mom is the HARDEST job you’ll ever have!!!!” to boost each other’s ego. Now, their daughters are living alone and parroting that same idea without ever realizing that they’re at MOST doing the laundry for 2 people with more automation than ever and ordering food off an app for every meal.
