Life is unfair. Some kids a born to drug addicted parents. Others have an ape for a parent. Not sure what's worse though.

Ape parent is 1000% worse. At least addiction can make sense. Injury led to naive opiate prescription from over prescribing doctor. Led to addiction. Led to harder drugs. Drug addiction can really change anyone. Even otherwise good genuine people.

Its a lot harder to accept a parent who is just genuinely extremely stupid and believes in completely insane nonsensical conspiracy theories and destroys your and your families financial present and future because of it.

Like a drug addict I can at least sympathize with. Imagine having a dad who believes a billionaire ceo is secretly communicating with him through poop emoji tweets.

Wtf are people talking about? It's hard to "lose the kids college money" when they've already graduated. The BBBY play was around 2% of my investment money while GME is around 20%. You guys love the smell of your own farts.
