I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
If you spend ~$2k on a toy, you deserve to have it stolen by a child who will likely gain more enjoyment from it than you will while you desperately waddle around, fawning over it and simultaneously seeking-a-buyer-and-never-selling-it.
It’ll be sold in a yard sale by your mom for $5 anyway when you die at 32.
At 15 years old, you've gotta be smarter than that
Bitch, have you been around this site much? Have you visited r/politicalhumor ? Do you not see how fucking retarded people are who are in their 30's and should know better?
Sounds like a smart kid to me. Why does the parent apologize? The guy(and I'm using this term loosely here) should've used this opportunity to accept the reality check that getting worked up over toys isnt worth it.
I know, I'm just venting a bit. Its friday night, and I'm alone with my sonic the hedgehog fanfiction and a pissbottle thats dangerously close to overflowing
I read really deep into this thread, and I found a post by a chick who says she cries about her sister because said sister is a shy nerd who wants to date but has no idea how.
Went on her profile, and she's an /r/IncelTears poster.
I on the other hand have dated a lot throughout the years, found the man I love, and am looking forward to our future with beautiful children and beachfront vacations, etc.
Translation: I was a slut and am settling for a provider and we will get massively into debt so I can have a shallow, Instagrammable life.
I see you've never met someone who collects this kind of shit. Picture less pristine mancave with toys professionally lit on expensive shelves in a nice house, and more funkopop boxes stacked on a wobbly IKEA shelf covered in dust and sadness in a run down apartment that reeks of dried cum and cat piss.
My wife's brother and his friends are "serious" collectors who invest all they have into this garbage and not one of them clears $60k.
I'm a bit of a collector and I usually pride myself on my clean and minimalist living quarters. Then again, I am also a girl, so I tend to be more clean by nature.
The short answer is "a massive amount of rationalisation and egotism". The guy's broke enough to not have $2000, and he's spent that money on his offspring who has turned out to be essentially a criminal.
jesus christ everyone on this fucking website is always overly dramatic.
my wife found a conversation he had with a friend he has over the internet. It turns out my son stole the figure to sell. He had googled it while we were at my brothers house and found out how much it was worth and bragged to a friend that he was going to sell it at a pawn shop.
this is where you present the kid your collection of belts you have collected in the course of your 20ish adult years, and ask him to pick one to be re-educated with.
That can work, but there is an even better way. A switch. Fresh from a tree. Green switches flex and don't snap... make the child pick his own switch -- if the switch isn't big enough, then I'm gonna pick one out.
The emotional torture is far worse than the actual switching.
This is one of the major problems with the millennial crowd and younger today. Not nearly enough PROPER punishment (I don't mean abuse) growing up for things they do/did that they should be punished for, and too much coddling and entitlement.
Take those internet away, limit its usage, and use active and preplanned, pre-warned non-emotional punishment for misdeeds.
Then maybe the children can grow up to be functional reasonable adults instead of the garbage twitter/internet obsessed entitle morons that have been being raised for the last few generations.
I'm not advocating abuse, but proper punishment and limitations.
True, but chances are, this child had demonstrated warning signs of being a little shithead and could have and should have been better addressed at an even earlier time.
So the nerd gets his money, the little thieving fucker goes to jail, and poor pappa gets to maintain his sense of moral superiority. This is the best possible outcome.
Tbh I think this is all a lie for the return on apologizing and acting like they gave a shit about the opinions of people who by most comparisons have made terrible life choices and you shouldn’t get advice from them.
I’ve met hookers more put together than the average reddit user.
He's gone from never punishing his shithead kid to throwing the book at him instantly. Kid is gonna get such mood whiplash he'll probably hang himself with the shame.
Amazing. The part that is even funnier is the legaladvice mod in the comments talking about how "There is no such figurine" - the mods over there larping as lawyers could really use paralegal training.
No, it would be the opposite. His renter's insurance covers stolen valuables, but they will only cover it if the policy holder files a police report, to reduce the risk of fraud. If he lies on the police report, not only will the insurance kindly ask for their money back, but he will get in legal trouble.
The dad said that they’ve decided the brother would file a police report and have his insurance cover it. The dumbass dad doesn’t realize he’s going to be sued by the insurance company to recoup the payout to his brother.
You kids these days are pathetic! Have you ever heard of something called an IMAGINATION?
Back when I was a kid we had to find a specific kind of curved cucumber if we wanted something that would hit the spot in a specific way, but now we have a generation of fucking millenials who don't think their 50k realdoll in the shame of a prepubescent anime girl is good enough for them. Absolutely fucking sick of you all. I just hope when the great purge comes you elitist fuckers are FIRST against the wall.
This is all nice and good but it's probably written by some basement dweller who doesn't actually have a son or a wife so it's all's well that ends well I guess.
