Like me, for example.

Watched a movie called Homefront yesterday. Fairly entertaining, but holy shit when it came time for the bad guys to threaten the kid I was so stressed. Even knowing it's a movie and Jason Statham will save the day, I could barely watch.

A few weeks ago I watched a movie called Lucky Day iirc, anyways at the end the little girl gets locked in a safe. That shit made me physically ill, I still don't know how that movie ended.

A decade ago, I'd have laughed this shit off. Seeing stuff in movies, tv, the news. Parents being protective, "I'd do anything for my child" type stuff...

...nowadays, I understand. I would do anything. Anything to make sure my kiddo grows up, happy and healthy, well adjusted, etc etc etc

Looking back, there was a time I didn't want kids. But now, even knowing how hard it's been, I wouldn't change anything if I could.

ah yes because you totally need to have a child to not "laugh it off" when you see horrible shit in the news
having a child may have changed you but normal people aren't this psycho to begin with

I think it's a fairly common response. Humor is a normal coping mechanism for bad news.

Right. Because you have to HAVE a kid before you learn the concept of empathy. You have to BE black to care about systemic racism.

really tells a lot about tc

Thanks for confirming you're just a shitposter, choco. Doesn't make me feel bad blocking you, knowing you will never add anything of value to any thread.

I don't think TC actually meant he was literally 'laughing it off', it's just another phrase for him not taking them as seriously as he does now

Was probably just a poor usage of words.

Correct
