Maybe this whole post is an ironic shitpost? If not, that makes it even funnier, tbh. I just can’t tell anymore.

The creator stated their intent, and the author disagreed. Does that opinion make the creator’s statement untrue?

It’s a weird situation & definitely a slippery slope. Was it his intent? I honestly can’t say. I guess it’s certainly a possibility.

I don’t think this kind of app is harmful in itself. This kind of thing can & will obviously be used/weapon used by stupid shit-heads for their own agenda, but those kind of people will utilize literally anything that exists to justify their shit-head views.

You absolutely don’t have to! Parenthood is not always an instant connection. I loved my child, sure, but they were more like a needy roommate to start off. I developed the bond as we went. It eventually clicked after some months.

And remember: you always love your child– but it’s okay to have times where you just sometimes don’t like them. Especially good to remember during the toddler stage!

It’s been used by people for nefarious purposes, regardless of its original intent. Both perspectives are valid.

edit: sexist horseshit is not a valid perspective.

If I’m remembering right, wasn’t this specifically developed to assist in helping to better identify victims of human trafficking?

Yep. Found it.

Yeah, babies are ugly. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a baby I would consider “cute”. Grody little misshapen potato humans.

Yeah, it’s true.

Honestly, I didn’t even like mine, to begin with. But they grew on me. The hormones had me tolerating all the craziness that small creature put me through.

Love 'em to bits now that they’ve grown past that stage!

As someone who has a child and is also a survivor of abuse: it’s in very poor taste to compare babies to abusers.

Dang… I’d be so happy to have such a space! I could do so much! A room for each hobby!

I always wonder if celebrities / rich people have nice hobbies or if they’re always too busy doing other things to actually enjoy their wealth.

Didn’t they take away crowd-sourced subtitles before?

Thank you!! I’d love to make some for myself & my kid to eat. He loves spaghetti, so eating his ice cream like this would be a blast!

Thanks again!

What is it, what is it?? It looks great!

Please don’t horrify me with such things when I’m having such a nice day.

Peak t-shirt slogan humor, I’m sure. Very ironic. 👍

I honestly don’t mind it, as my kid and I also bond and joke over quoting homestarrunner & other online media.

I think it’s only an issue if the kids can’t “turn it off” or have no other interests or hobbies other than doing things online.

Plus, it’s middle school. These kids don’t really have themselves figured out yet, so constantly parroting popular memes can gain them some acceptance from their peers.

You’re right, my apologies. Been a good while since I’ve cracked open the book.

Either way, good wholesome biblical tales for the whole family!

My kid is in middle school, and the current thing is calling out to “chat” out loud if something interesting happens.

“Chat, is this real?”

“Chat, did you see that?”

“Chat, do you know the answer?”

Etc.

Some kids are already “terminally online”.

That was the daughters of Noah. You’re mixing up your Bible lore a bit.

I was wrong! My bad on that.

“Helping people is gay”

I’ve learned to be okay with alone-ness. Not sure that self-destruction is the better route, tbh.
