Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

For the complete and functional product tho... Idk

I'd prefer to pay for a product they slowly but surely upgrade through time than to gamble a lot of money on something that I don't know will be good or not

(Disclaimer: I was mainly thinking about video games)

I am waiting for the sweet release of death

Agree completely with the first 3, but my young person/introvert trait is that I think I should be able to get anything, including paying my bills, to work without having to talk to someone on the phone like I'm my boomer dad.

My old person trait is not liking it when someone doesn’t take out their wireless earplugs when I talk to them.

The last one can be accomplished by simply not paying the bill. They'll even call you!

My old person trait is a belief that anyone that works full time should be able to aspire to own there own home, support their wife and kids and still have a little left over to save at the end of the month.

Whoa there. Won't anyone ever think of the c~~hildren~~-level executives? How could they afford a new Lamborghini or a new yacht when they also have to pay you?

So your old person trait is really that "wife stay at home with the kids" should be the norm?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (5 children)

It should be an option.

Dad works, and mum stays at home to focus on the home and kids. ✔️

Mum works and dad stays at home to focus on the home and kids. ✔️

Both work part time to both spend quality time with the kids. ✔️✔️✔️

All should be completely viable for an average income couple.

The fact that one working man could support his whole family just a few decades ago didn't mean women shouldn't, couldn't or didn't work, just that they didn't have to.

How the hell did you come to that conclusion?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

"support their wife and kids" is right there in plain text.

Wanting to support your family is sexist in 2024 /s

I want businesses to pick up the fucking phone during business hours.

I'm not talking about endless holds to talk to a utility or something, I mean that I want Burger King to answer the goddamn phone and tell me whether or not they have cheesy tots today so my kid doesn't get disappointed.
