Ouch. The primary care situation in some parts of Canada is grim too but at least my appointment wait times are 1-2 weeks

90% of the badwebcomics wiki exists for no reason but to shit on someone for daring to put themselves out in public where others can see them. I completely agree. There's the odd creator on there that fully deserves criticism for genuine assholery and abuse, but mostly it's like "this guy makes a very cringy comic, jump him!" bullshit.

"yeah we always thought this could happen," the family said in a statement. "We're very negligent, to the point of abuse."

Idk what people are expecting to see.

I'd go back to around the time my daughter started sleeping through the night. Don't want to risk a reality where my kids don't exist. I'd tell my friend the cancer is coming back, when it's still early enough to do something.

Don't really know what else I'd do. Don't really care. Be nice to live through those years again without changing much else to be totally honest

You got some good answers but remember too, you're only seeing a fragment of those kids at your place. The screen might for example be a special rare reward for them to keep them quite so your friends can visit you... doesn't mean they're on scree s all the time.

My kids aren't particularly screen born most of the time, but when we're out I often relax the rules to keep things smooth. The fact that it's a rare treat makes it even more effective

"I can't fathom it" doesn't mean "I haven't heard the criticisms of this movie". I mean that I remain surprised at how long lasting and vitriolic the hate for it is, as you're demonstrating by popping in to complain about how toxic last jedi fans are while also trying to tell me what you hate about a thing I love.

And I know you don't mean it that way but goddamn am I tired of having a conversation like this every time I mention liking the movie online for more than half a decade.

I wasn't asking for someone to explain why they didn't like it thanks. We went through that six years ago.

I always assumed that was a joke, because they're just kind of bland generic rock and roll that it seems like it would be comical to pretend to have any really strong negative reaction to it. Then I met a few real people who actually despise them, and realized it's not a joke.

People in general are so weird about other people eating stuff they don't like.

Listen Karen, you don't have to have a slice of my pizza.

That was such a weird one to me. I think partly they leaned too hard into trying to leverage controversy for attention, but still, the movie was fine. Like... except for the first one, they've all just been "okay" movies, in that context it's probably one of the better ones.

Was scrolling for this comment. I spent a few nights excitedly going over it with my friends before I learned about the internet meltdown, it was utterly baffling. I still can't really fathom it, it's one of the best SW movies ever made imo.

I miss forums so much. A federated backend for forums would be nice. I'm so tired of having these giant communities of angry strangers if I want to talk about anything
