Man, it is very rare to want a greentext to be real as much as I want this one to be. I'm going to pretend it is, even if it isn't. Because holy fuck, does the world need people like that.

It's from https://boards.4chan.org/r9k/thread/79241078, it does seem real, apparently he's been sporadically posting about his job for some time.

Put a smile on my face for real.

I am happy to live in the same universe as anon.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

It makes me sad that for every person like this anon, there are hundreds of people doing pretty much the opposite.

Good on you anon, you deserve all the good karma.

Seriously, the hero we need.

Education has been the genuine orphancrushingmachine for decades, it's just the way the system is designed.

One time I was walking along when I remembered a funny Simpsons episode and for some reason I said "You can turn a regular gun into five guns!" out loud.

There was an entire family staring at me.

Man. I'm a single mom. It be like that sometimes.

Not the whole "you need a man around"-thing. It's a single-parent thing. It's hard as fuck to do all the work yourself and not have someone to help out when you may be at your limit.

Not to mention single-parent households deal more with poverty, housing insecurity, poor mental health, overworking, etc.

I watched it happen to a lot of my friends growing up. It's fucking rough.

It's not every case, but it can be a lot.

I'm a married parent now, and grew up with a single mom.

I have no idea how she fucking did it. Seriously. She worked a retail job, maintained an acreage and raised two kids. I can't even imagine doing half that on my own let alone on less than half the income I make now.

Ya did good, mama. Ya did real good. I ended up with a graduate degree, make decent money, and have a stable household to raise my boys.

Thanks, mom

Similar situation growing up. I asked my mum once how she coped with it all, and her answer still freaks me out sometimes.

She said she didn't know she was a person who had choices, or could think about the situation she was in. She just did as she was expected to.

She's in her 60s now and is far more in tune with her emotions, thoughts and feelings than I remember her when I was a kid.

Can you just imagine? Being virtually catatonic in autopilot most of your life, because no one encouraged you to live? It chills me.

I watched Westworld recently, and I can definitely draw some parallels behind the theory of a bicameral mind it hints at, where automatons slowly start to awaken and take control of the voice in their head telling them to do things...

Are you being intentionally dense?

We are making a neutron star up in this bitch.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 16 points 2 weeks ago

My father has worked in a different country than the one i live in for longer than i was alive.

I have seen people cry when talking about their divorced parents

Which parent is missing doesnt matter

Are you saying that my experience and the experience of people with a single parent are wrong?

[-] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks ago

I won't deny that there are elements of a mildly conservative worldview in the post (mentioning the necessity of a "stable male figure"), but you go way overboard with your interpretation. If the post really was in line with such ideas, I wouldn't have posted it here.

[-] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

And which orifice did you pass this take from, exactly?
