@hydramacready @Nirty_Digger @Frosche @Shadowman311 I have to say that way too often to people, they’re so shocked that their families will abandon social mores but you’ll open up the hood and find they got a good 10+ years of religious bedrock instilled in their brain, if not more, that they just ignored with their kids because “eh, I turned out alright I haven’t gone to church in years!”

I see it a LOT with the ones who rely on subtle guilt to halt bad behaviors, like preventing alco or hard drug use. They just assume their kids, raised completely outside of such lessons, will naturally inherit that same programming without it ever being said.

@Shadowman311 I don’t think so, it sounds like your classic old, disinvolved parent who thinks he’ll scare his never-parented child into shape by kicking him out of the house at 18. Because THAT will snap him out of all that millennial bullshit!

Guys like him LOVE doing the big, dramatic, TOUGH® gesture because it’s far easier than spending 20 years of thankless, grinding work being a father. Decades of inaction and ineptitude on his part are forgiven in his mind because “I DID THE HARD CHOICE”

These same people omit all their responsibility, acting like “you can’t change ‘em, they come out how they come out!” but they lived their whole life a stranger to their sons under their own roof, leaving him to bear the full brunt of modernity with, at best, a monthly check in when they awkwardly happened to feed in the same room together. Little surprise the child that parents itself ends up lost….leave it to the most selfish fuck in the funny pages to undo years of personal failure with one simple, short moment of callousness.

I’ve seen this pattern. They LOVE thinking that the big gesture will fix things, that all they need is to kick their teen son out of the house and he’ll somehow become just like they were in their teens (you know, in the 70’s, in a 7-child family that always went to church) because their kid is forced to sink or swim. They’re genuinely surprised when the captivity-bred, untrained child sinks.

Why can I not type 🥛‍🍫 (U+1F95B,U+200D,U+1F36B) to make chocolate milk? Or 🥛‍🍓 (U+1F95B,U+200D,U+1F353) to make strawberry milk?

Hell, use skin tone modifiers so I can easily represent the level of chocolate in the milk!
🥛‍🏻, 🥛‍🏼, 🥛‍🏽, 🥛‍🏾, 🥛‍🏿

What even is the point of Unicode?

Sure glad I have 🫃, 🏳️‍⚧️, 🏳️‍🌈,👨‍❤️‍👨,👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨,👬,👨‍👨‍👦‍👦 and even 👪 but not fucking chocolate or strawberry milk. Glad to see the Unicode Consortium has their priorities in order.

I fucking hate this gay earth and I fucking hate the antichrist :akko_sad:
