  • To be fair he did say teenage behavior, and I know I said and did some truly awful shit as a teenager. My parents sacrificed a ton for me, and I was just a petty and ungrateful brat tweeting shit like “a homeless man would be a better dad”

    Makes me sick just typing that out and knowing that at one point, I said it with my chest.

    I’ve definitely gone to my parents and apologized for the fucked up stuff I said and some of the worse things I did. Because sometimes it is the kid.

    I was depressed, and dealing with undiagnosed anxiety but that’s not an excuse to say hateful, cruel things, probably just because they said no to going to the mall or something.

    I’m 27 now and my dad and I are just starting to get back to having a normal relationship where we talk about things other than like, my taxes or my car maintenance. We can chat now, and talk like a father and daughter.

    So in regards to OP…idk what his situation was but maybe the apology was warranted. But for her to still be digging her heels in…yeah it might be time to just lay it out and be like “Hey, I really want to mend our relationship. Are you interested in doing that? Because if you are not I would rather know so that we can both find peace.”











  • i’ve had the same thought as you.

    i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i’ll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.

    then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.

    I don’t get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren’t checking your subs tab. Like…that’s why it’s there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations


  • Kind of agree. I don’t dislike him, I mean he is supposed to be an elementary age boy, and they are a bit obnoxious by nature, so I can’t really fault him on that.

    I just don’t find his humor funny. It’s based around like, fart noises and saying a mid punchline as though it’s the funniest thought ever verbalized, it makes me cringe a bit.

    Tina makes me laugh because I relate to her awkward teenage girl aura because I was an awkward teenage girl at one point. Louise makes me laugh because she’s like one of those kids that’s way mature for her age and says funny stuff all the time that you wouldn’t expect to come out of her mouth. Bob and Linda make me laugh because they portray parenthood in a funny but kinda realistic way, and at times, remind me of my own relationship.

    Most other characters have depth or are actually funny, but Gene just feels very cookie cutter, template of a young boy character.






  • As someone who smoked Camels for years and is now just as addicted to vaping, there are no benefits. Zero.

    When I smoked cigs, I stank constantly. Even if I sprayed perfume or had a mint. My fingers always smelled.

    I did 12 straight years of choir, but now I have a much smaller vocal range. I’m not as active because I get winded. Now that I vape and have constant access, I get cranky after like 30 minutes of no nicotine.

    My blood pressure is higher. I can’t be on the type of birth control that gives me less side effects because my smoking makes it higher risk.

    I’m raising my risk of cancer. I’m spending a fuckton of money on flavored air.

    There is literally no positive and I wish I had never touched it.

    What exactly are you referring to when you say Apollo was expensive?

    I’ve seen a lot of people express that thought and I’m genuinely wondering what they’re talking about, because I got Ultra when it was introduced (higher than Pro) and I only paid a dollar a month for it, which seems about as cheap as any app goes for IAPs.

    Certainly worth it to support all the cool ass features Apollo had. I miss Share As Image.
