My dad shared this meme on Facebook yesterday. Long story short, I called him a jerk, my sister told me off then we both deleted our comments. So I called my dad to apologize. I kinda had hoped that by apologizing for calling him a jerk he would at least admit that yeah, it was a jerky thing to post, but he didn't see it that way. PS, they're throwing their hat in with Trump. *Sigh*

The other day this woman I knew from my job in St Louis posted this bizarre meme about how people need to learn to talk less. It listed times when it's not worth talking and you should keep it to yourself-- talking about your problems, talking about your relationships, talking about your accomplishments, and a whole lot of other ones.

This woman is a singer-songwriter. I have not heard her music but now I'm wondering what she sings about. Maybe it's all like "Party in the USA."

Well I definitely shouldn't call my dad on his bullshit because clearly it's not having the desired effect of making him reconsider his opinions. Truth is, I keep doing it because I'm embarrassed by many of his deeply held beliefs and I even have to question his intellect, especially if he's supporting Trump now.

I guess I should count my blessings that my family are only sending me pro-hillary/anti-bernie memes.

When they were here for graduation I was really struck by the weird balance in my family: all people who love antagonizing each other but can't take the heat when it's their turn.

I don't know much about China, or even what era Confucius lived in, but I am pretty sure he didn't say "Find a job you love, and you'll never work a day in your life." Thanks, Rutgers Career Services.

One hint is that people in pre-modern times did not really "find a job"

Ugh. Great research skills you are demonstrating to the students, Rutgers Career Services. And that's not even getting started on whether that is actually a useful piece of advice.

To bring things full circle, my bad roommate works there.

(also the good roommate, but I can't hold this against her.)

This is probably sibling-universal, but my sister still has a major chip on her shoulder about me being "condescending" to her when I was 18 and she was 10.

Things she does not believe me about this week:
- we should get to the airport at LEAST 2 hours early for our flight to Italy, if not three
- reinstalling the OS from scratch after backing up her files could probably help her glitchy and slow computer
- no, I really would not care about/respect Kim Kardashian if I were a woman, even a 20 year old one

Hmm, that is a tough one, because couldn't you define "condescending" basically as talking to someone like they're a ten year old?

I've always gotten to the airport three hours early for Japan. And that was before all the news that's been going around about long security lines this summer.

(updated: she is leaving work at a time that should get her to the airport 2-3 hours earlier depending on what travel time we trust)

It does not help that 20 years old is an age where she knows a lot about some things, and then will surprise me by not knowing how to cut an onion. I definitely did not know how to cut an onion when I was 20, but she bakes really complicated stuff, so I assumed she knew basic cooking skills.

But I think in general I struggle with the correct tone when I'm not sure whether someone knows something or not.

A lot of people are making a lot of really good points in this thread. I'm just happy the board is back up. Cans for everybody.

Update: she made it on time. Barely. I was basically shitting myself and then she breezed up and said she couldn't believe I was so worried. Later she divulged that basically everything went wrong on her trip and she made it by the skin of her teeth.

Shit my family says: all of it. I just need them to all chill. It's vacation. They do this one thing that I know is coming from a caring place where they constantly ask me negative questions. "Wasn't your dinner too small? Are you still hungry? Are you disappointed, should you have ordered something else?" It's bizarre. I am trying to enjoy myself and relax and they want me to complain.
But overall, trip rules so far.

I have always felt immature teen-level frustration about my family members "that isn't art!" comments in art museums. But now that I have what I thought I wanted it feels maybe worse. My mom looks at a weird painting and says "hmm, I don't think I get this one. I guess I just don't know much about art."
