I painted my ceiling today

Reply in thread

I bought frog tape with the idea that I would tape up the borders and paint up to it.

That was too much effort as I realised that you can paint quite easily up to the border by flexing a brush and don't need to be that diligent about it

Remember your fallen heroes

I don't think you truly understood the importance of the sacrifice of what that cartoon was trying to teach you, despite it being right there in the song lyrics:

"Everyday, they're out there making Ducktales"

Every day. These guys are just out in that unforgiving world, busting their asses trying to make these duck tales for you, and no one appreciates it.

Perhaps your prime minister dying was the only way for you to truly grasp the sheer seriousness of the sacrifice being made for you when you watched that show.

What sensory overload bugs you the most?

I grew up with someone at school who literally did not understand empathy, happily stole from his classmates, but knew how to apologise with fake sincerity when caught.

His parents didn't seem like bad people, but people who had tried both positive and negative reinforcement and it just didn't take.

I think he learned early on in life that he could do bad things to good people, and those good people would forgive him again and again. His friends learned to distance themselves, but his family? Oh gosh, what could they even do
