I have a reasonable amount of savings, I didn’t spend much in my younger days but I spend quite a bit on my family now.
I figure they are going to end up with it anyway so why wait until they are older and earn their own money? That’s when they least need it (assuming they don’t become bums).
I get told they will be spoiled and they will come to expect a level of entitlement but I look at it another way. It let’s them practice gratitude and I get to teach them to how to deal with situations of having something they didn’t earn.
Sometimes it works, my son took a truck I had given him that he had been asking for and gave it to another child without playing with it. Pretty good for a pre-schooler. Sometimes it doesn’t, I had a toy guitar I couldn’t take off him and he would warn off any kid approaching him by raising the thing in a threating manner and yelling “go away friend” haha
My theory here is humans best learn through exposure, experience and positive role models. Not by avoiding the situation.
Anyway, my wife hates this. She wants a holiday to Australia

When I talk about something to do with side/middle/lateral delts and someone corrects me by saying “medial delts”, then I have to explain to them that medial refers to the midline of the body, and thus the side delts are actually the least medial of all 3 heads. If someone just says ‘medial delts’ in passing, I don’t give a shit, but correcting someone with a false and slightly pretentious term is kind of annoying.

When people argue with me about shit they know nothing about, I don’t claim to be right, however it pisses me off if said person cannot back up their claim with any validity.
Feminazism, this seems to be fairly common in my generation, all these teenage girls talking about how oppressed they are and how men are disgusting pigs who stalk and rape women in dark alleyways during nighttime, it pisses me the FUCK off. There is a pay gap between men and women, I adknowledge that and it should be fixed, I also believe gender equality should be a thing, but the my bullshit meter is picking up far too much bullshittery when I hear things like “I was hanging out with this dude, we were drinking, I drank half a bottle of vodka with him and I was inebriated, I proceeded to have sex with him, the next day I was like fuck, I shouldn’t have had sex with him, I didn’t want to, he clearly raped me”… No he didn’t, you drank half a bottle of vodka, he drank the other half, you were BOTH DRUNK, made a stupid decision (which clearly drunk people never do… right) and had consensual sex, that is not rape. Then there’s the double standards… my god, if you punch a man in the face or try to assault a guy he will try to defend himself, so don’t get butthurt and attempt to press charges if you try start a fight and don’t win… (no this hasn’t happened to me, but I’ve heard of similar situations unfold, you can look for news reports of this shit and it’s total BS). I’m all for gender equality, I believe we should have equal pay, equal rights for various jobs and both men and women should have equal opportunity to succeed in life, and there is a gap and that needs to change. However for a job like a construction worker I’d typically choose a man because he has more upper body strength, it isn’t sexist, it’s biological traits. If I saw a skinny 120lb dude and a muscular, thick woman and they were both applying for a manual labor job requiring lots of heavy lifting OF COURSE I WOULD PICK THE WOMAN. I’ve been called sexist for saying “If you take an untrained man and an untrained woman and put them in a room and have them perform a bench press 1RM 9.9 times out of 10 the man will lift heavier, this is because men produce more testosterone which regulates muscle mass and strength”. THAT’S NOT FUCKING SEXIST, IT’S SCIENTIFIC FACT, people need to lighten up with all the political correctness bullshit too. Actually, I take that back, I identify as a potato
, come at me guys there’s 15684735894389 genders.
I am pro gay marriage, pro gay rights, pro transexual rights, anti gun, pro choice, pro… paper straws (NOT PLASTIC STRAWS) etc, so I’m not some kind of backwoods redneck, however I don’t tolerate bullshit

This reminds me of a radio call show I was listening to several years ago. The DJ was mentioning something about Pontius Pilate and some woman took the time to call in and correct his pronunciation of Pilate, telling him it’s pronounced Pilates (like the exercise) Jeezus pleezus.
This has to be satire

@polo77j Wow that was quick for you to figure out… dammit, wasn’t as if I made it obvious or anything with the potato lol. However I’m not joking about the girls talking about men this way. Here’s a quote that I’ve heard from a girl my age “men are fucking disgusting pigs, they force themselves on women and they are all just terrible, disgusting human beings”… Another one was “Us girls are afraid to walk home by ourselves because you men consistently stalk us and rape us”. the rape thing about being drunk wasn’t a joke, we had a rape prevention thing come to our school and explain that any sex, if either or both parties are inebriated, is not consensual. So yes I was making a big joke with my previous post because it’s funny (to me, I have a strange sense of humour, many others may find it offensive) however there was some truth to it. I have also been called sexist for the bench press thing, the plastic straw thing was a joke, the woman assaulting a man was a joke, however it does happen, the genders thing was a joke, the potato was a joke, the drunk people never making stupid decisions was a joke etc.
Edit: I’m not a potato I’m actually a chair

Country music.
I also dislike country music. - YouTube
I believe this is the only “country music” song I’ve ever found to be bearable.

It’s really just a disconnect from the mindset in country music. I have a couple friends from less populated areas of NY (eastern LI, upstate) who like country music, and it just seems like if you grew up in a small town with the trucks, bonfires, etc. and miss that, you’ll enjoy the nostalgia in country music songs. I just find most of the songs to be sad and pathetic. Same old town, same truck, same girl, let’s cry about everything. It’s like a bunch of Uncle Rico’s if they got record deals.
Its a formula. Those songs are so absolutely 100% McDonalds cheeseburgers of music.
The only thing dumber than modern country music is the suburban kids with their sleeves cut, jeans tucked into their boots, acting like they aren’t going to a state university next year that listen to it.

I can’t say I relate to disliking sad songs. most songs I listen to are sad and aggressive in nature

@SkyzykS actually the songs kids of my generation tend to listen too are dumber than modern country music, it’s usually some guy saying the same word over and over again or someone rapping about girls, money, drugs and a lavish lifestyle, it’s so cringe (however many people say the same thing about my music, at least my music is very diverse and covers a wide variety of controversial topics/ issues and has complex musical structure, seriously get on a guitar and play a country/ modern pop song, it’s very easy if you know how to play, but to play a metal song like fade to black it’s extremely, EXTREMELY difficult. The talent it takes to play these songs is insane)
Fade to black? Metal? WTF?
In their style that has become one of the most beautiful but tremendously sad songs I’ve ever heard.

yeah the original fade to black was a metallica song, amazing cover though. to play it on guitar… the solos are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get right. I’m still trying to get master of puppets down
I know. That was the music of my youth. I’m 46 years old.
