Well, I'm wearing Saucony's right now. I'm a male nurse. I don't wear white shows because they show stains.

Black NB are only for weddings.

My new balances are still black. Very close, tho.

Yup, I do that too myself to appease my inner kid. Bonus if it's a toasted sandwich, because then it gets lightly squished and there's no way to notice it's a crust!

For real. My mom (63) passed away a year ago this coming Monday (cervical cancer) and I didn’t tell her I loved her enough…among other things.

Now I tell my dad (64 in august) I love him before he goes anywhere and every night before I go to bed.

If the all the all knowing gods that have been proven to exist tell me Bigfoot doesn't exist I will believe it.

I lost my phone to robbery and lost the only memory of my lovely pet. she was taken by the building employees and left in some jungle cause they had to clean after her.

Yes they will because kids are not blind. Also the texture is literally different. They will notice.

No, don't give up. At least say "I disagree with you because of fact X" and then stop there. It's worthwhile to let them know you disagree, give them a fact that they may chew on, and let anyone else listening hear the same.

This is how you end up with adult children that never call or visit.

My kids don't like grilled cheese or quesadillas. Am sad.

u/blowfishmo what would it take to admit that your life pro tip is horseshit?

The transition to being a father starts with enjoying bad (dad) jokes, progresses to enjoying the heels of bread, and results in blue jeans and fresh white new balances

Assuming you like your parent's

This. Not even having an argument in mind, my immediate response is, "I don't know, present something to me and allow me to present something to you. Then we can both consider the other's arguments and decide with time."

And, frankly, finding someone willing to argue their point, listen to an opposing point, and agree it will take time for both parties to consider is.... rare.

Usually people asking this question are just trying to weaponize whatever you say against you. And they'll use the above response to retort that your stance doesn't matter because you're willing to admit there may be something you don't know.

And then these are the same people to turn around and say you can't base things off your own experience.

How about instead of arguing, try to agree to disagree and then have interesting discussions regarding those disagreements? Now that makes for a good hangout buddy.

Yeah exactly, also a lot of debates and arguments are not based on evidence to begin with, but rather values, ideals or goals. Facts are important in debates, but usually the debate is not about facts but about conclusions/opinions. You can also often have the exact same evidence and come to different conclusion.

If somebody asked me "What evidence would change your mind that gay people should be able to get married?", "What evidence would change your mind that women should have access to abortion?", "What evidence would change your mind that religion and state should be separate things?" my answer definitely would be "none".

There's no amount of evidence that you could show me to change my mind on these topics (even though for example I've seen statistics about the risks of abortion or whatever), because these are in the end opinions and not facts and they are just as much about the (inherently in provable) value judgement about how things should be, rather than how things are.

TIL it’s called a heel

I can’t know, because if I knew I would have already changed my mind. You have to come up with an argument I don’t know to change my mind. All of the arguments that I currently know haven’t changed it.

It literally everyone, but in America, close enough that no one has to eat the ass of a wonderbread loaf. Cultural attitudes teaching children to always finish what’s on their plates is an artifact and causing more problems than it’s helping.

Thats the best part of the bread. The fresher it is the better. My food fantasy is to eat all the bread crust and leave it like that. A bread freshly made from bakery that crunches and omg its so delicious

Every single “political” comedian, Bill Maher and Joe Rogan included, need to take this to heart.

This is some absolute bullsiht. My kid would never eat a sandwich like that. Doesn’t matter though because I horde the heels of bread for myself.

What about showing them that the heels are the best part?

In all my life I’ve never heard it called the “heel” of the bread. In Australia (at least in FNQ) we always called that the “crust”. Whilst my partner hates it, the crust was the most coveted piece growing up because it never really counted as a “slice”

“Who ate all the bread!” “Nah I only had 1 piece and the crusts” “That’s okay, which Motherfucker ate the bread then!”
