No apologies needed, it’s been playing in my head once a week for the last few months

That’s how I am looking at it tbh. I just want the people I care about to all be in the same room, have a nice meal and not make a big deal. We just had a slumber party at my wife’s parents house with her siblings this weekend and those are always so fun. I don’t understand why there is the pressure to do it big when everyone knows I’m a person who likes smaller, intimate get togethers.

I feel like most of it is everyone knows I’m trying to get better from my codependency and saying it’s my day to do whatever I want, but what I want is simple.

I am fine with a dinner with my family and in-laws, thata always fun. I’m just feeling pressured by everyone invited asking me “Are you sure this is what you want? We can do something bigger since it’s your 30th.”.

Yes this is what I want. That’s why I asked

My plan is a nice restaurant I used to work at, invite my in-laws, mom’s side and Dad’s side and call it a day. That would be 13 people, but everyone is asking if that’s what I would really want.

Yes, that’s what I want and no, I won’t regret doing something this small.

My wife really pushed a bachelor party 2 years ago before we got married but respected that I didn’t want one/hated the idea of what it would have been. Now it’s just my family thinking I don’t want to make a hassle for my birthday. No, I don’t want any of this. If I could get a great dinner for free, a long weekend from work and just hang out at home that would be perfect.

I saw Cujo as a 6 year old and its still sitting with me 25 years later. Our house was always the summer hang out spot for my family since we had a pool, so my aunt and grandma would always go to blockbuster on Friday to get some movies. I got to rent Pokemon Stadium 2 and all I wanted to to was play the game.

I couldn’t play it until I watched a movie with the family. The adults decided we should watch cujo (the perfect film for kids aged 8, 6, 5 and 4 right?)

I still have weird memories of watching the movie, getting freaked out and burying my head in the couch to try and not see or hear anything. After the movie my grandma said I could go play my game, and I still associate the Golbat mini game with it since the dog got rabies from a bat.

So next time you want your grandkid to bond with you, don’t fucking scar them ok?

Why not both?

They should just market to the blackmail fetish community at this point.

A cat so I don’t have to explain why I need alone/chill time at home. It would be cool to be able to jump higher and dunk when around basketball hoops too.

Toss in some bidets, a squatty potty and baby you got a stew going.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been on twitch, but I remember the ad would be blocked, but the player would just display “The broadcaster is currently running an ad” or something like that. Didn’t see any ads though so it technically worked

Still works tbh

After 5% can I ring my “Year of the Linux desktop” bell?

Scroll until I get a panic attack, then smoke weed saying it will calm me down then have a worse panic attack for 45 minutes

I finally got a good paying job, by wife is starting to move up at her’s and we could finally afford to have kids (with support from our families) Then plastic balls memes start

Not my wallpapers!

Why is it usually DNS?

(Network outages at work today. Guess what it was?)

My mother in law entered some contest where the votes had to be verified through Facebook. It was the first time I logged in since 2016 or so. The majority of my feed was AI pics of kids missing limbs, or chicks with impossibly large tits/body proportions with the description “Please wish me a happy birthday no one else did” with 40 hashtags of celeb names or movies/shows that came out around then. Mixed in was fake news bullshit or videos that had 4 different watermarks on it. Maybe if I used it more I would see somewhat relevant things, but its worse than I thought if that’s a normal feed.
