Throwing a tantrum at 60: you vote for a fascist and crash the economy.

[-] Jeremyward@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

While making sure housing is unaffordable for everyone else cause you need your house to go up in value.

[-] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

and then cutting younger people's real time pay then calling them lazy for not accepting 168 weeks.

I have a shared apartment and I must scream.

I can say with 100% certainly I've never lived next to you, cause the animals that have lived next to me....

I realised that protests are a cool way to channel some energy:)

This is privileged tantrum-having.

My tantrums were never property destructive. I grew up poor and I would have been murdered for that. I rage plenty, but never outwardly toward objects.

My tantrums, instead, were and have continued to be personally destructive. I make people hate me, I ruin all the things that matter.

[-] Signtist@bookwyr.me 11 points 4 days ago

Yeah, if I'd have destroyed something in a tantrum, I just wouldn't have had that thing anymore. It didn't even matter if we could afford a replacement or not - I wouldn't get anything my parents couldn't trust me with.

[-] Ledivin@lemmy.world 45 points 4 days ago

What the fuck is your door made of? If an angry kick breaks it, I promise it ain't $300

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 48 points 4 days ago

It ain't, but the handyman you pay to install it is.

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 4 days ago

Interior doors are piss easy to take down/put up unless you fucked up the frame. Why would you pay someone to do that?

[-] Brainsploosh@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

Cus you're busy dealing with whatever caused the tantrum?

65: Kids are out of the house, you have some money to fix a broken door, but you're just too damn tired to go breaking things or screaming about it. Also, the reason for the tantrum happened 30 years ago. So you tell your family a pointless, rambling, mind-numbingly boring story about it at Thanksgiving, instead.

When I was 16 the phone was wired to the wall.

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

they were damn near indestructible. slam hard, np

Those fucking cord tangles GOD DAMN IT!!!

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

Yeah if I threw my Nokia 3210 I think I'd take out a support beam.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

feeling good about my parenting skills, my kid's tantrums are getting shorter and shorter. she screams, cries, kicks her legs, all on the floor. She only gets anything once she starts to be calm.

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

She gets things after a tantrum once she is calm again or not at all then?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago

Let's say she wants to play with crayons when it's time to eat. If she starts throwing a tantrum, I lie her down on the ground and don't pay attention to her, except to say "we will hug and go get your fruit when you are calm". When the tantrum is finished, I ask her "are you calm?" and if she says yes, we hug, I clean her up, and give her the fruit.

Until she calms down, I don't pay attention to her, except to re-iterate that she will have more stiumulus once she is calm.

That feeling when 30 is the expected time to have kids already and you are reminded you are not allowed to ever responsibly raise children of your own in this one life you get on this dying planet.

I hate this world

Throwing a tantrum as a parent: Just tell your kid you're strict, then scream at them for every little thing.

[-] DrFistington@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

Lol, people can't afford to have kids by 30. What universe is this post from?

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago

Lol, people can’t afford to have kids by 30.

I can guarantee you

  1. People have kids whether they can afford them or not
  2. Different levels of social integration lead to different support structures for child-rearing which leads to different life stages when people can/do have kids at different financial points.

[-] bazus1@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Yeah. The kid-making process is actually pretty cool.

[-] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 12 points 4 days ago

Only like two thousand people can afford anything now. The rest of us can't afford shit, but we do em anyway

Hi, my names Kyle, I'm 6 white Monster drinks deep, and I'm ready for a crashout if I lose this next CoD match and derank.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 16 points 4 days ago

I mean, this is why social media is full of videos of dudes sitting in their trucks complaining about how everyone's crazy now.

[-] Atlas_@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Lol lmao, you think I have kids?

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago

I'm almost 40. I'm stuck at 27. I can't afford to break things because I'm poor as all fuck

[-] bbwolf1111@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

This hurt my soul, I dated a NARC that used to love throwing my personal phone, not their own. Luckily that was during the years when phones only costing 100-200 dollars. Now these fuckers cost 1000-1500 dollars.

[-] breakingcups@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Ah yes, perfect post for the "funny" community.

[-] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 days ago

I'm getting 2meirl4meirl vibes

[-] m3t00@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

at 30 the kids just broke the door and phone

[-] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Why is this post so loud?!?!?! My baby is sleeping!!

[-] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 days ago

I'm 16. My tantrums consist of crying in my room.

[-] TAG@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I do not think I ever threw a tantrum that that destroyed property (I probably tried as a toddler, but I did not have the strength).

This is why therapy is penny foolish and pound wise. Your parents should have been paying for a therapist to teach you not to throw tantrums, not simply paying to fix the house every time you smashed it up.
