Mine hit me with the “We’re spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.”

    “Dinner’s only a couple of hours away. Why don’t you wait?”

    Because I had just finished a sponsored fast for charity and hadn’t eaten for two days.

    We’re spending all this money on you now so you can’t grow up and say we didn’t spend money on you when your were a kid.

    C’mon now, don’t be ungrateful. I mean… you made the conscious decision to be born, right?

    ...

    /s, obvously.

    Let me add to that, this is something my own mother said while being of sound mind:

    • parents should have the right to kill their children if they become unruly (She said it twice)

    I’m American: my dad told me a couple years ago that immigrants were “unclean.” I’m almost 40, and that was the first time he’d ever used that phrase. That’s probably the first time I realized how “mainstream” extremism had become, since he has virtually zero online presence.

    My dad recently buult a new garden shed in the garden for tools and gardening stuff. He now started refering to the gazebo in the same garden as “the old shed” for some fucking reason. We were doing something that required power and ge asked me to plug in an extension in the shed. I do that and a couple minutes later he berates me and says he meant the old shed. When I asked if he meant the gazebo, he looked at me as if I had slapped him in the face. We’ve had the gazebo for about 15 years now I think and nobody ever called anything but that.

    When I was little, I did something bad (I don’t even remember what it was), and my mom got angry with me about it, and I was already crying, and I asked her “Do you still love me?” and she said “I don’t know”, and that shit has stuck with me forever and I’m sure contributes to the fact that I don’t truly trust anyone. If I brought it up to her now, she’d 100% deny it.

    ‘Gravity is caused by the rotation of the earth’

    apparently that’s what they taught back when she was a kid

    But how even?!

      Maybe cause The force can simulate gravity. That’s why you see rotating stuff in sci-fi.

      Well that’s how it works in Larry Niven’s Ringworld and also Halo. They just thought the earth was a ring.

        It was either in one of the books or an easily missed line in Halo 1, but the Halos actually don’t spin fast enough for the amount of surface gravity they have, implying artificial gravity is involved.

        Halo arrays and RIngworld work because objects in frictional contact with the inner side of the boundary material are imparted linear velocity by the motion of the structure, that’s not at all how it works on planets.

        Even if Earth were tide locked to the sun it would still have the same exact degree of pull on other mass-having bodies. A ring array that stops spinning has occupants who experience free fall

          Here’s another fun fact: A ringworld exerts zero net gravitational force on anyone inside of it. It’s one of the implications of shell theorem.

    My mother did the slitty eyed gesture and said that there were too many chi*ks here, in the car part for a large asian grocery store in the local chinatown that she had chosen to go to, to buy asian food. Yes other people heard and saw what she did, including asians. This was more than twenty years ago so not linked to the current rise of more overt racism.

    My da told me “God does not forgive people who curse his name.”

    I asked “But God forgives people who sexually abuse kids?”

    “If they ask for forgiveness, yes.”

        I believe the “angels on the head of a pin” were Victorian scholars parodying the medieval debates they were studying at the time. It’s somewhat unfair because the mediaval scholars are much more sophisticated than that but the parody has endured.

          Cursing the holy spirit is not blaspheming the holy spirit.

          The only way to blaspheme the Holy Spirit is to have the Holy Spirit move through you, where you know beyond any shadow of any doubt that the essence of God itself is working in your actions, to be purified and elevated above mankind, and then to claim that this purification, elevation, and miracle comes from the devil and not from God.

          It is very difficult to do this, and even then, Jesus himself said you would be in danger of Hellfire, not guaranteed to go to Hell forever.

        Is that denominationally specific? I’ve never heard of it.

        Knowing the actual theology is so rare in Christianity (or any religion) it’s basically not an important part. Which explains history.

    I remember talking about how the sun is relatively small compared to how big stars can get. Then my dad said “wait, the sun isn’t a star…” He basically thought the sun’s technical term was “a sun” and that stars are actually as tiny as they appear to us in the sky.
