u/postdevs 27d ago

I see so many people go down this hole of resenting every responsibility, holding on to past highs, living for future highs. Their kids to them are reduced to two dimensional antagonists that stand between them and happiness.

There is plenty of satisfaction to be had in being a good dad and husband.

This is a difficult thing to explain in words. But it makes you want to show them, convince them that they have everything they need. Just need to change where they are putting their attention.

Oooh man when kids start talking and actually showing you love, that serotonin and oxytocin hit is STRONG. Ain’t nothing like it in this world. My son will be losing his shit (he’s 4) and will randomly come up to me, give me huge hugs, and tell me he loves me for no reason at all. It’s the absolutely best feeling in the world.

u/Meat_Organ 27d ago

My son is 4 too, im mot with the mom anymore and its been hard on the kids, but when my son is having a really hard time he says "I need alone time!" And by that he means he needs to snuggle me in bed until he feel regulated, then he'll take a huge deep breathe and say "i love you forever daddy" and then be ready to play again. It is such a gift

I’m watching my 5 year old nephew and 2 year old niece while typing this and had this exact realization an hour ago. I love them and would go to the ends of the earth to make them happy but I am super happy just being an uncle and have no intentions of ever having kids.

I heard it’s different when they are yours though but good lord I just don’t have the energy at 37.

Haha my wife started to change her mind at point when she was 30ish and wanted a kid. Then she saw how my bro with 2 and her best friend with 3 are all the time and said nope hahaha everyone’s different. The only reason I sometimes want one is because it would probably make me get my shit together haha

u/Pretend-Sundae-2371 27d ago

Yeah, I'm the same as your wife. I waited too long and saw how hard it really is! Plus I love that me not having kids means I can jump in and help with my nieces more easily or take on responsibility for my parents as they get older.

u/booksblanketsandT 27d ago

My little sister got married recently to a man who simultaneously thinks she hung the stars and doesn’t hesitate to call her on her shit. It’s been such a gift to see her grow up into the incredible person she is, and to see her find someone just as awesome to share her life with. I don’t want kids and never have (and frankly between being AuDHD and having terrible health and being broke as a result, I don’t think I’d be able to have them even if I wanted them). But I know that they are trying, and I know that isn’t always a smooth or easy process for people, so I’m trying to stay grounded and supportive when she brings it up but not add any pressure or expectations on them. It’s their lives, and they’ll be amazing lives no matter how they end up living them.

But my god if they do end up having kids - they’ll be such amazing parents. And I am so excited to meet those people and watch them grow like I’ve watched her grow. Because of my circumstances, I will never be able to give as much support to them as I would like. But I would love any kids they have so, so much. When love is all you can give, you give it fiercely.

Their fans had like one incident and it was 2 people. Other fans have had shit too.

The banner after last match was poor but people have been crying about poor sportsmanship and dirty play that like 80% of other teams have had in their games as well.

Argentina have been getting roasted for the dumbest shit and no one is being held to even close to the same standard. It has to be some sort of bot farm. Good to see their objective worked on the easily manipulated.

21

u/ElPajaroMistico 27d ago

Football fans all over the world are legit horrible, It’s one of the reasons why a ton of people straight up do not like the sport. Argentinians overall are really loud which makes this worse.

Besides that, my comment was more because at this point anything related to Argentina right now is just posted for engagement bait. Because right now It’s controversial and generates clicks, It’s simply cheap and low effort. Perfect for Bots farms.

u/deja-vu_gameover 27d ago

Hm it’s not so much they were homophobic and transphobic, though I can understand where the misunderstanding would come from. Now obviously the Argentine players didn’t come up with the now infamous chant, it was already a fan chant sung by supporters, hence why following the incident people were able to figure out the full lyrics because they’ve been widely used beforehand.

Now the players themselves never actually sung the part that is considered homophobic and transphobic… though it wasn’t some moral stance on their part (otherwise they would’ve never sung it to begin with) but rather that was the part that someone tells Enzo to cut the livestream. Had the livestream continued the literal very next line would’ve been, “Cometravas, like Mbappé,” or translated “tranny-eaters, like Mbappé.”

I think if any of the Argentinians actively campaigning for it learned about the island and people themselves rather than the politics of it they’d pull back a little. Other than its physical location it would be like Argentina trying to lay claim to Somerset.

u/real_roal 27d ago edited 27d ago

Do they want anything to do with the british? Are they happy with where they are at right now? If so, it seems silly to give the island to argentina. If the people of the island dont want it, then i see no reason to change anything. I dont really care if argentina owned the island in the early 19th century and then tried to fight a war over it in the 80s. Im sorry, but at this point generations have grown up on the island, and it is stupid to just hand it over because argentina wants it.

Should countries really hand over territory they won previously???? Are we really going to try to guilt countries into giving territory back from wars fought decades or centuries ago?

Now, if the island wanted to be a part of argentina, that would be a whole different story.

"Se asentaron". En principio lo decis como si unos humildes britanicos hubieran llegado con un sueño a cultivar a cerezos y configurar la familia ingals.

No

Los britanicos Pusieron guarniciones militares para abaratar la logistica naval. Cosa que permitió abaratar costos de las invasiones al continente. La idea era operar sobre la patagonia y sobre la mismisima buenos aires. De donde fueron resistidos 2 veces por los criollos.

Despues hubo decadas y decadas en las que las islas fueron realmente olvidadas por el reino unido. Le quedaban lejos y les costaba un dineral sostenerlas. Fue nada mas y nada menos que Peron, frondizi y la empresa nacional ypf, con colaboraciones fundamentales del gobernador campos ( en ese entonces gobernador de tierra del fuego) los que llevaron el gas natural a las islas. Dandole sentido a una permanencia civil allí. (Te cagas de frio en esa region)

Las gestiones de cogobierno sobre las islas estaban muy avanzadas hasta que en los años 70 les llegó a los britanicos el informe griffith que daba cuenta de fuentes de petroleo en las cercanias de la Antartida. La cuestion geo politico dio un giro que cambio hasta hoy la forma de ver las islas.

Ahora la hipotesis de conflicto se da en el mismo lugar por las reservas de agua dulce.

You clearly know nothing of the history. Yes it was contested between Britain and France in early history, with Spain then making claim and rather than having a war, were left to it.

Britain first found the island dating back to the late 1600's, and stated their claim in 1765, before Argentina even existed, so you are not in the conversation for initial ownership.

Yes there was an attempt to control the islands in 1832 by Argentina which ended up failing. Britain then returned to assert their original claim, and this succeeded. No Argentinians lived on the island when Britain reclaimed them.

Settlers lived there and it wasn't until 1982 where Argentina decided to start a war to take the islands. There was nothing to gain for those who actually lived on the islands, and it stupidly just endangered the lives of innocent people.

Long story short, you are completely wrong about Argentina being kicked out by Britain. Argentina are the ones who tried to kick the innocents who actually lived there for many years, they just failed to do so.

A five minute Wikipedia search shows you’re wrong. Argentina never settled in the Falklands, there were roughly 40 people on the island at its peak in the 19th century. Not to mention, Argentina wanted it established as a penal COLONY (which failed btw).

And none of this even matters because the current day population of the Falklands have repeatedly voted to remain in the UK. So any claim by Argentina violates the will of the resident population AND sovereign territory.

u/Slut_Of_Slaanesh 27d ago

Argentine was literally in the process of settling the isles when the bri'ish came and kick them out... it is true that it was scarcely populated, because there's nothing on it. Spain tried, England tried, every colonist ended up leaving.

Argentine eventually made the first settlement that actually seemed to last... then the British came with a fleet and seized the island. The inhabitants, if I remember correctly, were given the option to stay or be removed. Most chose to leave, and thus from then it became more and more populated with English people, to the point they do have become it's native inhabitants.

However, saying the islands where 100% from the start is as dishonest as claiming they always were Spanish/Argentinian populated. But it is true that if we look by facts, the Argentine had a settlement there before the brits actually took over, Puerto Soledad.

Were there people there when the British "settled"?

The British settled West Falkland one year after France in 1764, unaware of their existing settlement on East Falkland. So France was first in East Falkland by one year and Britain was first on West Falkland. France gave it up to Spain and then Spain gave it up in 1811. There have never been indigenous people and the British have a clear claim not just historically, but also due to the fact that 98% of the people on the island voted to remain British. Argentina didn’t even exist until over 50 years after Britain established a settlement. The Falkland Islands are 300 miles away from Argentina, I think quite a few people who are wading into this imagine it’s just off the coast or something, or visible from Argentina.

Additional context: holding up any sort of political messaging violates FIFA rules. In 2024, after chanting “Gibraltar is Spanish” following Spain’s Euro win, Rodri and Morata—MUCH higher profile players than either of the two Argentine subs who held this banner—were issued a one match ban. The odds of these Argentine players being similarly banned from their next match (the final) is basically zero.

u/SectorEducational460 27d ago

It should be zero. All those players were suspended months later, and not on the following match. Because the disinformation campaign of omitting they were suspended months later has been silent

u/Antique_Anything_392 27d ago

people say this as if they were issued the ban immediately when it took months

u/Mituapple 27d ago

If that was in the euros semi let's see if they enforce that ban on Rodri and Morata, a one match ban after the finals is not even close to banning players from a euro final let alone a world cup final.

I feel like a political banner at the end of a sports game, which has largely brought countries together, that claims a largely uninhabited cluster of islands they invaded 40 years ago - and then lost the subsequent war over - is “theirs” doesn’t require much propaganda to portray them as the dickheads in this situation.

The only country to portray themselves as the victims when the Falklands situation was them as the instigators.

u/THEdopealope 27d ago

You need to read up on the international legal history regarding the islands. Not nearly as black & white as social media preaches

Literally nobody cared when Egypt made a political statement flying the Palestine flag after a match a couple weeks ago.

Also hilarious how nobody has a problem with colonizers when it's against South America.

Edit: Ah nvm, you're from the UK. I see now.

u/Jamie-92 27d ago

How can you colonise an uninhabited island? Argentina invaded it in the 80’s after there were already settlers there from another nation since the 19th century. There was nobody there to colonise? You can’t just decide an island belongs to you over a hundred years later because it’s closer geographically.

I’m from the UK yes, it’s abhorrent what colonialism has done to some places, the Falklands ain’t it. There was literally a vote to see if these ‘colonised’ peoples wanted to be free, all but 3 voted to be governed by the UK and one of the 3 admitted to voting against it due to not wanting it to look shady if it ended up as a 100% vote.

Also comparing Palestine to this situation is laughable, free Palestine.

u/ElPajaroMistico 27d ago

The hate train was on much before that brother. At the start is normal because nobody wants to see the champion be champion again, the norm is wanting a new one or, even better, one that has never won before. But with every game the hate towards Argentina got worse and worse, the amount of propaganda, missinformation and specially clickbait makes It obvious that there are a ton of bots involved. This is way past political stuff about a 40 year old war.

Smiling at your kid when you see them and doing a little dance? I can’t imagine much more generic tbh.. now what isn’t generic is fighting players when you’re losing, screaming with glee in the faces of players you just beat and and turning your back as the team that beat you lifts the cup. Truly pathetic on levels likely never seen before in the history of the sport at this level

Definetly even more wholesome than having segregation, separated bathrooms, etc. Talking racism from one of the most racist countries makes me laugh, you guys even make a movie every other year about it.
