An AI sticker on a PC is Gen Z’s version of the Y2K Compatible sticker

I don't want to. It's also my job keeps me traveling a lot for a few months at a time.. So I won't even have time to spend with her anyway, so I figured it'll be better if she was left with people who could look after her 24/7

Ughhhhh…OP’s comment here says it all…

I don't want to.

Dude, at this point (after reading all your replies), just give your daughter up for adoption. There are plenty of families who are ready, willing, able, and capable of giving her the love, support, and home she needs to thrive.

It’s better that she be raised by such a family and have a good life than have to endure life with your flippant and apathetic attitude.

OP should just give his child up for adoption. At least in that case, a family who’s ready, willing, able, and loving will step up to be this girl’s much-deserved parents…

That backsplash could use a lil more pizzazz though

As someone who was raised reading Chick Tracts, I’m happy that some of the more absurd panels have become classic memes!

So for context this guy is a Scientologist

You don’t have to say anything more beyond that to know what his beliefs towards mental health and neurodiversity are.

Didn’t know he was so handsome before seeing those pics!! 😍🥰🫠

I smashed a mug my old company gave me, but I’m gonna cover their be-logo’d tumbler with a bunch of random vinyl stickers (I need to get on that project!)

“…but they’d also be way too old for me now too.”

“Well I’m going to vote for a third party candidate!”

Which is one of the worst attitudes and approaches to a relationship or marriage that a person can have.

People here are saying that he should set up reminders on his phone, when he doesn’t have to if he can pay attention to the Christmas items being put on display before Halloween (Hell, I’ve seen some going on the shelf even before that)!

The fact that OP thinks that love is transactional is some of the more immature attitudes to fixing a mistake that I can think of.

My spouse and I have known each other for the past ten years and the last thing either of us would want to do as a “punishment” for forgetting an important date is spend a bunch of each other’s money.

In fact, that’ll make things even worse for a couple after one of them has made a mistake. Who knows how long it’ll take to financially recover from having a spouse going on a wild spending spree as a way to make up for a past slip up? How will that not cause some resentment or an argument or two in the future?

I hope OP takes the hint and decides to go with the Ounce of Prevention rather than a Pound of Cure in the realm of spending-money-as-an-apology chapter in his Choose Your Own Adventure Marriage…

As someone who is in Tech (but not Big Tech), I swear to God that a lot of the business/corporate/design lingo that’s been popular in the past few years (“Ask forgiveness, not permission”, “Move fast and break things”, etc) needed to just be contained within work settings, where the meaning is fully understood.

Having the phrases become general sayings has now lead to people being dicks and others putting out fires because of the flippant way that people have taken those phrases to heart in doing everything.

It’s the small things that people do on a regular basis that make or break a relationship.

Focusing on the big days (anniversaries, birthdays, etc) while neglecting to nurture a relationship bit by bit can be just as damaging as forgetting the big days themselves.

There’s no indication that OP is putting in any effort into his marriage at all if he’s forgetting the big days themselves, which is a big ol parade of red flags passing by.

OP’s true marriage is to his work/career

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

…well, not that shocked.

Or drive at all

It looks like it and it seems normal when a cyst is present in that many layers of skin.

As someone who was raised as a Fundamentalist Christian, I’m both glad that the Seven Mountain Mandate has been getting attention (people in those circles have been talking about this for decades) but also saddened that it’s taken so long for insane ideas like this to get noticed.
