That’s right Hal, don’t let the kid boss you around.
“I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
The only Pokémon we do around here is during the election when we Pokémon Go to the Polls.
The joke is deliberately horrible, but if you’ve ever been infodumped by a kid with pressured speech who can’t organise their thoughts and you have auditory processing issues it’s also horribly relatable, a bit.
Oh my gosh you’ve just put words to the speech affliction I’ve suffered with for decades. Pressured speech, can’t organize thoughts, also speaking in stream of consciousness.
Sorry bud. Might be a bit of the old ADHD, if you’re anything like my charming young lad
If you knew I’m a woman would you have called me “bud” and anything like a “lad?”
Maybe? I didn’t mean any offense, buddies are any gender for me and anyone can be like my kid, who happens to be a lad. At least until I’m notified to the contrary…
This is kind of a weird hill to die on, ngl.
People are allowed to be particular about pronouns. I just tagged that account she/her, it’s not a hill unless we make it one. Helps if they do that themselves, but I can hardly criticise.
Not so much a criticism as trying to point out that you weren’t being malicious in your comment.
I know it sounds weird for me to complain every time someone assumes I’m a man, but if you’re a man, how would you feel if everyone on the internet automatically assumed you’re a woman? Calling you she & her & ma’am & sweetheart & lady. That would feel pretty weird, wouldn’t it?
That’s how I feel when people call me dude, bro, bud, lad, etc 🤷🏼♀️
I’m a woman to start.
Your username gives no indication that you’re a woman and this site is overwhelmingly male. I’m never surprised when someone guesses I’m a man when we’re conversing initially. It’s not like the greatest thing in the world, but most people here are not misgendering me on purpose.
He didn’t call you a “lad”, he said you might have ADHD like his lad aka his son.
Bud feels like a pretty gender neutral term compared to dude, man, brother, etc.
I didn’t think either of us were particularly bent out of shape about it, pretty minor misunderstanding. I feel like we can all walk away friends unless we try to litigate this? I dunno
I’ve learned so much about Subnautica. So, so much.
Omg, i once listened to my kid talk for about 3 hours on that a few years back. It broke my heart that his computer could barely run it. Now he has the computer to end all computers.
I think there’s a new one coming out soon. Prepare your ears lol
“1v1 me in Warzone and maybe I’ll consider it.”
“But Warzone is a battle royale! Theres hundreds of players on the map, what are the chances I even run into you?”
“About as high as me listening to you tap about pokeemans, nerd.”Now if he wanted to talk about Warhammer 40K…
If they aren’t talkin’ 151, I don’t wanna hear it.
Hardo no budu

Yeah. Same relationship with me, my daughter, and Roblox.
