I’m not against the idea completely. Yes, it is nice to see my kids up on the stage and hear their accomplishments, but do we really need millions of dollars in flowers and decor in an overpriced venue with 6 different speakers talking about themselves before we get to that part?

Yes! Saluting a flag, rising for the anthem, chanting, prayer before a meal.
I’m just sitting there looking at everyone participating in meaningless bullshit wondering what the point of it all is.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What would realistically happen if universal healthcare went into effect in the US and healthcare was no longer tied to jobs?
1·15 hours agoIve got shitty US insurance.
Which is actually the best kind of insurance for bowel obstructions.
Despite having a poor substitution for a graduation, do you have any sort of pride or feel exclusivity for being part of “The class without a graduation”?
I don’t mean you’re using it as a pick up line or anything, but just like a “yeah, I was there”.
Who checks every mysterious door on the off chance that today it’s unlocked.
Now this, I get. That’s fun and exciting. Sitting in an uncomfortable space while someone talks at you for 2 hours feels like the exact opposite of that.
That’s what they say, but I was a parent at two graduations this year. It sure as hell wasn’t for me. Which is exactly why I’m asking if anyone actually does enjoy these things.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much should I spend on an engagement ring?
5·19 hours agoSpend what you can afford. Pay more attention to the style she likes than the cost.
If she says no because the ring wasn’t expensive enough, you dodged a bullet.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do most languages sequence names from first to last?
21·19 hours agoYear-Month-Day is the way to go.
But, US style is month-day. If you just leave out the year, which shouldn’t be a problem for anyone who isn’t a time traveler or just woke up from a coma, you’re using US format.
This deserves a slow clap.

Moron Movies.
Imagine if your uncle who thinks he’s hilarious bought a camcorder and recorded an hour and a half of short skits.
It’s so terrible, but kudos for Len Cella for putting in the effort and making it happen!
Oh no. I haven’t watched it since I was a teenager, please don’t ruin my memories.
Honestly, it depends on what we’re talking about
I trust my nerd friend’s opinions on computers, and I trust my car friend’s opinions on cars, but probably not so much the other way around.
No single person knows everything, and trusting any single person completely about everything is foolish.
You’re absolutely right, but as long as there are people who DON’T trust facts, it’s probably still worth mentioning now and then.
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this reference.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is McDonalds in America expensive and crap?
12·3 days agoYou can always rely on McDonald’s to sell the cheapest product they can make, at the highest price people will pay for it.
Without a doubt, this guy is totally into you.


Not wanting to celebrate your kids IS shitty, but that’s a bit of a heavy handed assessment of the comment.
I didn’t want to sit through all those crappy band concerts and baseball games but I did it with excitement and I congratulated my children after every single one.
You can still be supportive of your kids while not really enjoying the activity.
