    My mom and sister - Yes, they cool

    My dad - He trolls liberals as a pass time and is effectively a MAGAt. No

      You should troll your dad. I don’t know if they sell these, but you should see if you can find a “Make Harris Great Again” hat. All red, with white text, in that same font.

      Then take his MAGA hat, and in the place he put it, you place this one. See how long he takes wearing it before he figures it out.

        No MAGA hat. Canadian

        Which makes his support for the GoP even more ridiculous. Also makes me wonder where the fuck he’s getting Fox News since it’s NOT easy to get in Canada, ESPECIALLY before streaming and broadband

          It’s Facebook and YouTube probably. My dad is also in Canada and obsessed with American news but he watches CNN on a loop so at least it’s not the MAGA people he’s supporting.

          Still though, worry about your own country. We got our own issues we should be focusing on here.

          Your father is a weird man. Obsessed with politics of a country that he’s not a part of, in support of a man who wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire. And now he’s going out of his way to reach a “news network” (airquotes doing some heavy lifting on that one) that only spews a facist agenda.

          Now, in contrast, I would say 100% of Americans have NO IDEA who’s even running for president in Canada, or Mexico. Like…those thoughts are so far from what my brain thinks of, it’s insane. Last night I was wondering which would happen first: A snail traverses an entire city, or a gallon of water evaporates in mild tempatures.

          THAT thought crossed my mind long before thinking of Canadian politics. Sorry Canada, you’re a great country, and I wish I lived there instead of here, but your money is monopoly colored, and your politics are irrelevant on the world stage.

            Yeah. I hate that the GoP virus has infected our country

            Our politics are somewhat relevant though, namely as we’re between you guys and Russia

      That’s what I would say too. I love my family and they love me, but I think had we not been related they wouldn’t choose to be around me. They are rather boring people and their favorite thing to do is sit at home and do nothing. I like to do stuff and try new things. They don’t.

  • If I somehow met my sister as like a friend of a friend, we’d get along. As for the rest of my family, I’m just waiting for them to die so I don’t have to answer their phone calls anymore.

    Nah, probably not. They’re fine but I have not much in common with them. I talked to one sibling for the first time in five years last year. I send another a happy birthday text once a year. I talk to the one living parent a couple times a year. Theres no bad blood between them and I.

    We are a pretty independent family anyway, always have been. I see friends call up their parents weekly or even daily and I find it so strange to have a connection to them like that. Who just…calls up a family member randomly?

    My dad, probably. My mom, absolutely not. Of course, I barely talk to anyone I don’t live with, and I’m 38, so I wouldn’t actually talk to either of them.

    I talked to my parents. But not my sister because there were enough people on here who spout incoherent conspiracy theories. I don’t need to hear it in person.

    Did you know that there are pyramids, built by an ancient technologically advanced civilization, under the Atlantic Ocean? Because my sister does. Also the covid vaccine is bad for you, but that’s a boring one.
