What's the point of making over generalizing statements like this?

[–] [email protected] 59 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Relatable humor. The women in my life ask me about what I'm thinking often enough that it made me chuckle, mostly because being asked results in forgetting what I was thinking about if it was a passing thought.

In this case it is poking fun at the stereotype, which is true just often enough for it to be funny. Kind of like the memes where the two are in bed and she assumes the worst and he is thinking about Pokemon or something else innocuous.

"Vhat are you... sinking about?"

Learning not to take everything so seriously.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Never take everything everything seriously! 80% of the time!

Let's intensify that interaction:

Women prefer meeting bears over men in the woods.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you meet a bear in the woods today, you met a bear. If all day long all you meet is bears...

you're also a bear.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's a lot of bears. One could even say it sounds overbearing...

Sometimes people disagree with your political opinions. 🤯🤯🤯

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Impossible. Any political opinion other than my own must be garbled propaganda.I can't explain it otherwise...

It's important to poke at those in power to try and level the playing field.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

first off, that's a vast generalization
2nd off, that's totally me and my sibling. She's the "learn everything so you can look normal" autistic and I'm the "oo look a worm!! 🪱🥰" autistic

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

Thank you for sharing the worm.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I just blurt it out when my wife asks. It's always the most mundane, unrelated shit. I'll be thinking about what drove Mike Myer's choice to make Shrek Scottish. That said, she doesn't stress over what I'm thinking about. She's not insecure. She just wonders what's going on in the box sometimes. I'll have that look. My wife is great.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Boomers call zoomers millennials and zoomers call millennials boomers.

Where is the gibberish to English translation option?

You missed an entire generation there. Though I’m not entirely sure if I should be offended.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Don't complain, Gen X might be forgotten but at least you don't get shit on lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"When you do everything absolutely right, it/you doesn't get noticed."

-Gen X-

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Naw. That's legit. Gen X is the reason this tw*t is in office and I'm not proud of it. There are quite a few in my generation that "being forgotten/ignored" as a parenting practice proved to not be the right answer for. There are a lot of struggling Gen Xers.

Please judge Gen X on how we thought you could take your hands off the wheel (unregulated kids) and it'll turn out right... When we were born, boomers left us on a straight flat road. The millennials got a bumpy, curvy road (the Internet is Big and extended families are getting smaller) and realized they had to hold on for dear life.

I think they have it fuckin hard and are doing amazing/their best with it.

That's all.

Fun fact: women spend more time refuting casually sexist claims than men spend making them.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I'd agree with that,

I'd also rue the fact you have to. Hope the majority of you get a break soon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Do they wonder what men are thinking? Or do they know exactly what they are thinking and it’s the worst case scenario every time?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Damn, 2 months ago? I must have been in a fight with my wife at the time…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

This isn't even funny, and I have a great sense of humor! 😡 /s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Her: What are you thinking about?

Me:
