I don’t know anything about your life or situation so please take this with a massive grain of salt.

Your grandpa may be a victim of a time when men were absolutely not allowed to have mental health struggles.

Seriously, I know some of us can’t even fathom that, but it simply wasn’t allowed.

There was no understanding, there was no conversation, and if you attempted to discuss the subject you would be met with very abrasive and inaccurate advice that is the equivalent of “suck it up” or “anxiety and depression are made up” as I am sure you have seen a lot of this still exists today.

I know this isn’t advice on how to repair or improve the relationship, but it might give you some small insight as to why he may be reacting this way. We may not be able to fix the older generations (not that we should give up), but if we keep normalizing talking about our struggles maybe the next generation will be healthier than us. It’s a small move, but in my life so far I feel like I have seen changes I never would have thought possible in adult men mental health.

Source: not a grandpa, but I make a lot of noise when I stand up from a comfortable chair.

I would rather have two burgers rather than a super tall or wide burger.

I particularly love Vanispheres, although the title album is pretty great too.

This is the most interesting way I have ever seen this kind of data displayed. I can’t believe I just read the whole thing and was actively engaged and interested the whole time. The data is as depressing as it is fascinating, but major kudos to whoever designed this.

Part of my job is to process user feedback. The amount of times that I get opposing comments like this is wild. Sometimes the comment is subjective, but sometimes they are outright sharing opposing facts. It definitely keeps life interesting!

I heard this as a Good Charlotte lyric. What a flashback.

Glad to hear you won’t have to upgrade. Hopefully you can stay under the radar, but I definitely get this would be a rough time to be working for the fed. I sincerely wish you luck (and patience)

Based on the people I interact with daily basically no one realizes this is happening. Outside of the IT department no one realizes or cares. I asked how we were doing to deal with tariffs on electronics we regularly used a while back and was quietly told that was a political statement and shouldn’t be brought up.

Now we have no plan and I’m too bummed to be smug about it.

Again, this is just my anecdotal view.

I am almost certain that this is incorrect, but I always feared my boots would tear up my feet if I lost my callouses.

I think this is called a pumice stone, but I have never used one.

This is exactly the energy I hope for in a shitposting mod. TYFYS

That is a really good point, looking back at the original image it looks like it might be shredded on both sides of the wheel which would support your theory.

It looks like there is a trim piece missing over the wheel, I’m willing to bet that was the culprit.

Edit: image of the missing part.

Lot of jokes here, my brother repeatedly has told me he is disgusted by the fact that we look at toilet paper to tell if we are clean. Granted he would have to get the TP very close to his face to be able to see anything. He says he just wipes until he is clean. Not an exciting answer, but that’s what I got.
