Literally A Person posted:If your parents gave something their full stamp of approval when you were like 10 would you even like it anymore? I dunno, my parents bought Ice Cubes solo works and told me that Cops arent my friends and snitches get stitches but I didnt grow up to be all blue lives matter and pat boone.

Antivehicular posted:My parents' dumb media trolling was to pronounce Captain Picard's last name as "Pickerd" every time we watched TNG just to piss off my tiny pedantic child self. It worked. Didn't Q do this in one episode?

My dad would always fall asleep on the couch watching TV, almost always Fox News. It didn't matter if he was sleeping for a minute or an hour, the second you changed the channel he woke up and started yelling at you. I was more impressed than anything, but it was the only TV in the house so it made for some boring days.

burial posted:My grandma had satellite TV. I mean, no boobies probably, but we did not have cartoon network, noggin, or sci-fi channel at home yet. I biked 15 miles one way (at 13ish?) on what passes for main roads around here for that poo poo more than once. I think I saw this film as a kid, did it have a scene where a grizzleded bearded man kept passing his gruel to a drugged up dude and hissing "EAAAAT" to him while trying to act like he was eating it?

My dad downloaded a copy of Morrowind for me (and I BOUGHT IT ANYWAY) but one of the music files was corrupted. While wandering the beautiful and immersive world, I would be startled and jarred by insanely loud garbled noises and thought the computer was having a melt-down and that I would be in trouble. Took me a while to figure that one out.

I’m pretty sure it did, yes. I really don’t remember it well, but I do recall that the main character(s) figured out that the food was the drug delivery method and tried to avoid eating it. Somehow, he/they got caught though and ended up drugged anyway? e: loving found it and apparently it was a Gene Roddenberry thing because of course. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Earth_(film) burial fucked around with this message at 23:58 on Oct 11, 2018 |

Both my grandmother and (to a lesser extent) mother would, when presented with a cliffhanger ending in a tv show or movie, proclaim, "well that didn't end right."

Pick posted:When I was little, I'd ask to go see a movie, like a Disney movie or whatever, in the theaters. And my parents would say, oh, hmmm, well we need to go check it out first. So they'd go see the movie, and then come home and tell me everything that happened and how stupid it was, and how embarrassing it was that I wanted to see something so stupid, but since you're a little loving baby, if you want to go see this stupid Disney movie for dumb little children, then they might be able to swing it, although it would be torture for them to have to sit through it again, and on second thought, you can't go. Pick I realize I owe you nothing, us both being two posters on a dead gay forum. But for what it's worth, every time you post about your parents I hate them a little more. That's twisted

That's twisted Thank you, although I mostly feel sorry for my parents. They both have a lot of difficulty connecting with other people and they always have. There should have been opportunities for them to get help when they were younger and that didn't happen. Support social structures that help people!
