Me neither, have had a couple gins and tonic. Decided to try raspberry gin with lemon bitter tonic. Awesome

Oh yeah, I definitely missed it. Thought you meant why are the poor getting things for “our labor”

I’m also not the one who mentioned the friend, but that’s unimportant

Did anyone go “Wtf is wrong with the system” when that show came out? Because I don’t remember that happening. Of course I’m from Europe lol

Because they didn’t choose to be born poor and probably work harder than you. Any other questions?

Don’t have it here. I do prefer the local soda over Fanta lately, for patriotic reasons. It’s this one. Unfortunately it doesn’t hit the sourness for me like lemon Fanta.

Hey I’ll have you know I switched the BMW for an Audi, the ThinkPad is a Lenovo and I take generic ibuprofen with my Fanta!

G counts as y

Yeah but if alcoholic beverages are included in the all-inclusive, why not bottled water? Or at least sell it at a sane price.

Sounds like she had some valid criticism for the hotel as well. All inclusive package, but pay extra for water? Wtf.

But honestly, I have no idea why she would expect English food in Greece. Spain only does it because of all the English tourists, it’s not an international standard to serve English food or something.

Or for anyone who prefers their Wikipedia articles in the form of funny animated video

USMC?

Oh most definitely. I just pointed it out because everyone talks about how men are never there for their children and partners, and nobody ever talks about how some men can’t be because of abusive partners who tell you you’re lazy when you only work 60-70 hours a week to feed her lifestyle.

I’m probably in the minority here and I’m sure a lot of men are deadbeats for real, but this subject really gets my goat because even my own friends think I’m an asshole for working too much and not being at home enough, while the truth is, it’s my own wife who would rather I work 100 hours instead of, like said, 60-70. I just haven’t told them what’s truly going on in my life.

When I eventually serve her the papers I’ve been dreading, it’ll be with an offer that our child can live with me rather than her if she can’t handle it like she keeps saying. I won’t even ask her to pay me child support if she agrees.

Maybe this rant wasn’t needed here on this topic, but I needed to get it out, I can’t tell people in real life because I don’t really like badmouthing people even when it’s all true. Plus she is the mother of my child, she went through all kinds of hell for 9 months.

Anyway, I think Alexis is approaching all this from the wrong angle. Instead of robots taking care of everything at home, it should be possible to take longer parental leave (for both parents, not just mothers) and work less hours after that. I imagine a lot of men would love to spend more time with their kids, but it’s often the financial and career stress that is so important, especially if you get scolded at home for not making enough money. But then again, he seems to support parental leave too. I was VERY surprised at some parts of this paragraph in the article:

In recent years, Ohanian has become a vocal advocate for paternal leave, an area in which he said the tech industry has “led the way” for working parents. He worked with President Donald Trump’s first administration to encourage a 12-week paid parental leave for all federal workers, which Trump signed into law in 2019 during his first term.

(emphasis on parts I found particularly surprising)

Also to be clear, when I said in my original comment:

Moral of the story is, fathers should do more around the house and take care of children too, but nobody should let their partner guilt trip them into what’s essentially a 140+ hour work week. Both parents need sleep and some time off. Partners should have equal workloads.

I did truly mean both parents should get sleep and time off. Not the “men work hard and need to rest after work” excuse you hear a lot. I do recognize that raising a child is hard work - I, too, get tired when I’m alone all day with the baby. I meant both that fathers shouldn’t guilt their partners into raising children alone and doing all the chores alone, and at the same time (and I acknowledge this is WAY less common), fathers with abusive partners need to recognize it and stand for balance instead of literally sleeping <10 hours a week by drinking energy drinks all day and abusing ADHD medication by taking double doses and only at night not in the morning like you’re normally supposed to take them.

I won’t argue against the fact that fathers should be more present, but what that meant in our case was that I slept 10 hours a week because I was with the baby all day and then worked all night while tending to the baby whenever she woke up, while the mom did nothing but sleep all day and drive around with her friends and complained that she didn’t have enough free time. After that I told her that if I have to be there for the baby all the time, she better get a job. She did not like that idea, but at least allowed me to go to the office again.

Moral of the story is, fathers should do more around the house and take care of children too, but nobody should let their partner guilt trip them into what’s essentially a 140+ hour work week. Both parents need sleep and some time off. Partners should have equal workloads.

At this point I wouldn’t even be surprised if they detained me on the border for being too white. It’s suspicious! What am I hiding?!

I don’t think I’ll be visiting your beautiful country in the next few years unfortunately.

Well yes but it has a cool sounding name

I mean the incel name didn’t come from other people, incels themselves made it up to describe themselves.

Mate the 4 year old could just hire a lawyer like everyone else does. Why does the government need to help her? She was already born, now she should pull herself up by the bootstraps instead of asking for handouts.

Yeah, see my edit. While he’s spoken out in defense of Israel, he does also have a track record of opposing injustice where he sees it even if it doesn’t affect him or people in his own ethnic, religious or other groups.

He’s also pro-Israel and at this point in time, I reckon that zionists are morally on a similar level to nazis, and David Schwimmer does support them. Or at least he was at an ADL event recently and I don’t think I’ve heard him say genocide is bad?

However, the comment a couple of levels up is incorrect. Upon just a little bit of research, I’ve discovered Schwimmer has also attended BLM protests, and has spoken out against violence against women as well. Which means he does actually care about injustice and I’m gonna have to add a disclaimer to my previous comment.

Anyway, my comment in its original form was meant as mostly anti-rich-celebrity. To be clear, I’m anti-zionist too, but not antisemitic and never meant to come across that way. My thought process was that anyone living in America who truly cares about injustice in general should be worried about injustice against black people and latinos first and foremost, other ethnicities and religions second, so anyone who only wakes up when it’s injustice against Jews, is probably either a bit self-centered, or outright zionist. Well, David Schwimmer clearly didn’t JUST wake up, he’s been woke for a long time now. To be clear, I mean that as a good thing.

He’s also rich and Jewish, probably doesn’t give a fuck about any injustice unless it’s antisemitism.

Edit: so it turns out he’s spoken out against injustice plenty of times before, when it wasn’t about Jews. He even lobbied to get more non-white people on Friends, such as his character’s Asian-American girlfriend. It’s not all disingenious with him, even though his support of Israel is regretful.
