For real, I'm not sure exactly what idea is drawing OP to the US so much, but many many of us (especially after the election) can only dream of being born a citizen of the EU.
Reading their post, I just kept thinking "I feel like that, but for your country." Maybe we can organize some kind of citizenship swap lol
No? Wasn't aware I needed to police my tone in a discussion about apple butter. The person I wrote it to seemed to really like it, so I was sorry they went so long not noticing it is, in fact, everywhere. I'm not sure exactly what part of my comment is setting people off, but it's cool I guess.
I can literally go to any diner around me and there will be individually packaged containers of apple butter, usually next to whatever little packages of jelly they have on offer. I'm sorry you've suffered without for so long not noticing them
The real strength of current foldables, and why I love mine, is it's ability to multitask at a moment's notice. I really like being able to open it up and have each side used for a different thing. I also like holding it like a book-like ereader.
It's also unmatched as an emulator for ds games, which I value a lot! Maybe those things aren't for everyone, but the form factor really suits some stuff that I like to do frequently on my phone
That would make sense if the mom wasn't also there parenting, trying to make some good memories with her family. Instead, creepy note guy ignores her entirely, which is very inline with what I'm talking about, unfortunately. Moms will and do get straight ignored while heaps of praise is lavished on dads just for being there with the kids. It's a pretty common experience, and I would feel pretty annoyed if I were the mom and I found that note before husband did.
I mean, mom was there too and presumably has at least half of parenting influence on the kids. Why no paragraphs of praise for her, or even a mention beyond the fact that she guided in the trailer (which is only in there so the writer could compliment the dad more on getting it 'first try')?
Because of the implicit assumption that yeah, obviously moms are good at parenting–just business as usual–but when a DAD is good at it, strangers take the time to write a whole diatribe about it. Meanwhile mom gets no praise, she's just doing what she's supposed to in this guy's opinion.
Shit is fucked, exhausting, demoralizing, and so pervasive.

I'm not sure if it's quite what they were talking about, but the first season or two of the original Ghost Hunters was a lot like this. They would at least pay lip service to try and disprove the ghost, and I believe they even left a location and straight up told the owner that it probably wasn't haunted, just old
Sure, there are those parents. And there are a lot of parents like the ones in the article. Saying it isn't so and covering your ears doesn't change the fact that this is an experience a lot of people are having.
