But how to teach anger management without making angry first? Checkmate leftist! With a father like that she will be angy a lot.
This guy is a fuck and this was the worst execution imaginable, but there's actually something valid to teaching your kid, not how to use this can opener device, but how to figure out how something they've never seen before works. It's a valuable thing to teach, and to practice. Of course, you don't do this with hunger as an incentive.
We've been trying to have a struggle session over beans for months and he just . . . tweeted it out.
redditor takes adderal and makes up a story about his daughter.
the tool is meant to be pleasing but it doesnt have any superfluous qualities.
when you are a tool thats trying to be pleasing but you cant stop the thunderous clapping of your superfluous qualities.
take can opener. put can opener on can. tell daughter to hold can opener firmly while turning the bit on the side. done. lesson achieved in under ten seconds, you pseudo intellectual knob
I realized that I'd never taught her to use it. I felt like a dope.
He then goes on to waste six hours of her life.
Apocalypse Dad was overjoyed: a Teaching Moment just dropped in my lap!
proceeds not to teach her anything
Hey now he taught her that he's a narcissist that won't help her when she needs it
This was brought up in the replies, but this is basically the “teach a man to fish” allegory minus the teaching part. Just throw someone a fishing rod and say “there’s the water, figure it out.”
Tbh i understand why you'd think that and im probably gonna be paranoid about it now too
this guy also did the theme song for everyone's favorite lib comedy podcast, MBMBAM (although they found out and are quickly getting a new one)
They're pretty funny, though it feels like they're massive libs. They don't talk about politics, but that's the vibe I get.
Justin's wife, Dr. Sydnee McElroy, hosts a different podcast with him on the same network called Sawbones. She's been dipping her toes into politics ever since COVID-19 became A Thing, and did a really great episode a few months ago about how the Black Panthers were fucking rad. I wouldn't say that they're necessarily radicalizing, but they're definitely travelling down the lib-to-leftist pipeline.
From one of the episodes around the election they mentioned voting several times in that special little way only RGB portrait carrying libs do. At least they usually don't mention politics any other time but that episode had big :vote: vibes
the funniest parts are turned into animatics on youtube by a variety of different animators, i just watch those instead, here’s a 40 second one
Fwiw, I think they’re hilarious. I agree with the other comments that whenever politics do come up they seem super-lib. Maybe not ideologically committed to liberalism but more people who have been born into it and never looked for an alternative. Strikes me as getting most of their political opinions from some combo of MSM and Twitter. Low-information libs-by-default (this is about 100% projection, btw. When I first started listening to MBMBAM about six years ago all those things described me and so now I assume it of them. Maybe they’re actually psychos grounded in political theory who read The Economist and agree with it, I don’t know. I get all my political opinions from
my ongoing study of history, political theory, and current eventsviolent leftist memes nowadays)Anyway, they’re just a goofy comedy podcast. It’s just three brothers goofing around and laughing at each other for an hour. As someone who tends to like dark and cynical entertainment, I will occasionally follow something that is just fundamentally nice and MBMBAM is one of the most genuinely wholesome things I’ve come across.
Holy shit, I knew that name was familiar! How do you not vet these people for stuff like this?
man likes band --> man needs song for podcast --> man asks band if he can have song for podcast --> 10 years later, band is now bean dad
My child: “Father, I’m nearly starving to death, just tell me how to open this food can”
Me, an extremely responsible parent: “Aha! A teaching moment;”
Having a boomer for a parent is literally like having a child for a parent. I don't know a single boomer that isn't a childish brat that treats their kids like some kind of unwanted pet.
She didnt even want beans is the fucking cherry on top of this, and he doesnt even like baked beans either, neither of them wanted baked beans but his apocalypse dad ego shit made him force his kid to work on a can for 6 hours so that both of them could eat a meal they dont like.
I don't know if I'd call it abuse exactly, but this kid is going to hate her dad when she's older and he will have nobody to blame for it but himself lol, though he will probably try to blame "SJW feminist propaganda"
Its debatable up until "Neither of us eat until you get that can of beans open", thats when its flat out abusive, not just forcing your 9 year old to struggle with something on the threat of withholding food, but also putting the guilt of withholding food from others if she doesnt do that task that she literally doesnt even wanna do.
This dude is pretty left-liberal and co-hosts a podcast with Ken Jennings
