Prncebride is officially the creepiest gif poster on parenting.
Ya, I finally won something! I'd like to thank the internet, creepy people everywhere, esp the basement trolls. Oh and Alan Alda, which without his gif this moment may have never come.
I have a better time hanging out with the guys then I do the girls. Women are hard for me to connect with for some weird reason.
This is generally true for me, too. I am kind of man-ish at times, though.
***stuck in box***
Me too. It makes it hard for me to connect with my super-duper girly 12 year old. We clash on A LOT of things & I have to bite my tounge more often than not because I realize that she is her own person.
can someone answer a question... is referring to your SO as "your boo" a racial slang?
Like if I said "that's her boo", is that racist?
I don't think so? Maybe? I wouldn't be offended if someone called my SO my boo.

OMG. Why can't I just answer questions like a normal person? Every time the HR director asks me a question I go into a long winded explanation of why/how something is done the way it is and she just sums it up in like 5 words and walks away.
I'm must have woken up on the dumbass side of the bed this morning.
I think you're too hard on yourself. I do shit like this too sometimes, but it doesn't make you a dumbass!
Thanks. She really intimidates me because she is rally rally smart so I get flustered when she asks me something.
I'm sorry to be a total bummer. But I've seriously typed out and deleted many a thing this morning. I just can't with today.
Companies should allow for at least 1 paid day off per year under the category of "If I don't get to hang out on a couch and marathon watch bad TV, I'm going to go absolutely BSC on the next person who calls/drops by and that will be on your head" day.
You need to take a self-care day, @MrsButt! Can you use a PTO or vacation day?
@jesuisfatiguee my work gives me exactly 17 days off for the whole year. I've already used half of them and I need to save some for Thanksgiving and Christmas plus if DD gets sick or something. It really, really sucks.
I'm not saying it is not possible to multitask or be good at your job, but I do think that having your attention on many things at once means that something else will be substandard as a result.
I don't need a study or anyone to tell me if I am good at something or mediocre. The results speak for themselves.
Often times when someone is mediocre at something, they know this about themselves and will often make needed changes. I think the study was done by a bunch of mediocre motherfuckers who could never get their shit together because if not it was done by someone who had to multitask so that would null the findings and void the study anyway.
Tell that to the people who text and drive. I bet they think they're good at multitasking too.
Anytime I hang out with people, I have a great time, get in my car and immediately assume I was a total moron and they hate me. This includes any ladies I've met here.
It's odd because I'm a fairly Fuck You, I Rule person in general, but I get weird in groups of women. IDK what it is.
I am the same way in groups of women. Sometimes mixed crowds and other people will have this affect on me, too. I am really bad about overanalyzing every little detail of a recent conversation/interaction and convincing myself that I am horrible and unworthy of friendship lol
@jesuisfatiguee I absolutely agree with your sentiments on war. Do I feel like there have been times where it seems like the only answer and the lesser of evils? Sure. But if I truly believe in what I teach: compassion, conflict resolution, empathy, and problem solving, then I have to agree that physical violence is never the answer.
I do not believe we'll ever see a world without war for as long as the penises are in the majority position of power.
Honestly, I never expect to live in a world without war. I will forever dream of one existing one day, though.
I doubt penises have too much to do with it, either. I think that's more of a correlation than causation. There are plenty of womanly war-mongers in the world.
I also believe in physical self-defense when necessary, but my personal standards for necessary vary from a lot of others who have this belief. So, despite my hatred of violence, especially war, I am not a total pacifist.
I'm not saying it is not possible to multitask or be good at your job, but I do think that having your attention on many things at once means that something else will be substandard as a result.
So far your contribution to this thread has been substandard.

What else are you doing, jacobsons?
I was walking from the train to work. I guess I couldn't text and walk at the same time very well
@TheOtherJacobsons you cannot be serious with that reply. That's not the same thing and I hope you would know that.
I do know it is not the same thing. I was not actually serious. I thought I would meet a ridiculous response with one that was equally ridiculous. Jeeze, I know I've been around for like 10 minutes, but I am not some rando BSC.
@katnhiding I knew that overgeneralizing a complex issue would leave the statement open to these types of responses. I am not actually taking this seriously, just wanted to post an UO that would start a conversation, which it did.

I'm not team " people can't multitask" but I am team "people can't multitask as well as they think". I see huge quality lifts when I assign someone to one task. Even adding just one or two things tends to make the quality slide a bit. Even when overall volumes are the same.
I can't get the ticker to work, but I have two sons:
I think war has more to do with power than penises.
I also hate war. My brother is in the Middle East right now and shits about to go down at any time. But, I think there are circumstances where it's a necessary evil. Hilter/Stalin/Kony/_____ wasn't going to stop killing Jews/gays/Muslims/______. No amount of diplomacy or sanctions was/is going to stop their evil from taking over the world.
I realize this isn't every war though. Why did we take out Sadam but do nothing about genocide in Africa? There are bullshit wars, but sometimes we have to take out the really bad guys.

UO (maybe not): if someone breaks into your home, you pull your weapon and the perpetrators run out of your home, I don't believe that you are within any right to shoot said person. They are no longer a threat.
This UO was brought on by a story in Long Beach about a man and woman breaking into an 80 year olds house. They ran out of the house after he brandished his gun, they got out into the alley behind his house and the woman was hit by a bullet. She screamed and said do not shoot, I am pregnant. He shot and killed her anyways.
I hope this 80 year old sits in prison for the rest of his life.
Extremely popular with me. I think using excessive force in self/home/property defense situations is wrong.
Fuck the war on drugs though. Power and money keep that machine going though.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves bad TV.
Lauren bugs me. She's weak and leaves Bo sexually unsatisfied. Dyson may have eternity to wait, but I don't!
Thanks. She really intimidates me because she is rally rally smart so I get flustered when she asks me something.
I think I need to lay off the coffee today.

The thing I don't like though is when people talk at me, instead of with me. Not sure if that makes sense.
