There’s literally a children’s board game whose whole premise is showing how free market capitalism ends with one person owning everything while everyone else goes bankrupt.
That chilling moment when you realize it is confirmed in the Epstein files that Vladimir Putin didn’t kidnap children from Ukraine, but instead evacuated them to protect them from being sold into child sex trafficking....
Gay month is cancelled this year. Don’t want to see that bullshit. First of all you’re not gay you just have a parasitic infection that makes you a retarded sex addict. Or you got molested. Second of all everyone thinks you’re disgusting. We’re putting ivermectin in the water
Life was better when there was a ‘computer room.’ Where you had to physically enter the room to get on the internet and then log off and leave that room and the internet stayed behind. The minute we were able to take it with us in our pockets that’s when society collapsed fully
I used to count down the hours until bedtime.
1 PM: "Only 7 more hours."
4 PM: "Only 4 more hours."
7 PM: "Only 1 more hour."
I was just trying to survive until the kids went to sleep and I could finally have peace.
Sound familiar?
Here's what changed everything for me:
I stopped saying "I HAVE TO" and started saying "I GET TO."
**HAVE TO vs. GET TO:**
❌ "I HAVE TO change another diaper"
✅ "I GET TO take care of my kids while they're little"
❌ "I HAVE TO answer a million questions"
✅ "I GET TO teach them about the world"
❌ "I HAVE TO clean the kitchen again"
✅ "I GET TO have a home and food to provide"
❌ "I HAVE TO deal with tantrums"
✅ "I GET TO shape how they handle emotions"
❌ "I HAVE TO put them to bed"
✅ "I GET TO tuck them in and tell them I love them"

This isn't wacko positivity. It's reality.
One day, they won't ask you to play.
One day, they won't need you to tuck them in.
One day, they'll be gone.
One day, they won’t ask to be carried to bed.
And you'll wish you could go back to the chaos.
The shift from "have to" to "get to" doesn't make parenting easier.
But it makes it meaningful.
It reminds you: This is temporary. These moments won't last.
So when you're frustrated (and you will be), pause and ask:
"Am I seeing this as a burden or a blessing?"
You GET to be their dad. Not everyone has that.
Act like it.
Someone should invent a self-replicating machine that removes carbon and pollution from the air and produces food and oxygen.
Oh shit hang on, that's just a tree.
