Looks like someone cropped out the K. $600k. You can save up to $600k. Kids are expensive.

It's like having an exotic pet that tries to emotionally manipulate you

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Kids are like the least exotic pet out there.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I could save up and buy a savannah cat every decade. But there's only one person who's ever going to be my kid. You know what I think when I look at my kid?

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."

That's an exotic pet. Fuck a leopard.

Maybe if you hadn't fucked a leopard your kid wouldn't have been so weird.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Anyone who would fuck a leopard seems likely to have a weird kid no matter who/what they have it with.

When it comes to pets, exotic refers to uncommon. Kids are the most common of pets.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In a lot of US cities, I think dogs have surpassed kids as the more common pet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Seems to be the case here in Seattle and I very much approve. I'm one of those people, in fact. My dogs are so much quieter and easier to train than children are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Easier to train than adult dog owners, too! A truly impressive amount of Seattle dog owners think "no dogs allowed on the play field" means "designated off-leash dog park".

Except when you try and take it back... oh uh, ah, uh... I mean "yes".

The sounds a dog makes is far less grating to the ear than the sounds a child makes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That depends largely on the dog.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It has to do with the high-pitched voices for both children and dogs. Small dogs, small humans? High-pitched voices.

They were right, an abortion usually costs like $580. Throw in cost of gas and a milkshake, right at $600.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Somebody cropped off the “R” from the top left corner too!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

This is the campaign that eventually led to them going bankrupt.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

It cost me $600 to never have to pull out again.

Rabies R Us

Hmm

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

One of my favourite questions to ask friends with kids when they are complaining what little sh8ts they are is: are you sure it's too late to abort?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I just suggest a foundling wheel

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I always joke about threatening kids when they're behaving badly with a 64th (or so) trimester abortion.

"I brought you in to this world, I can take you out"

Oh man. RIP Toys R Us. I hope who ever bought/buys your branding makes good use of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

The Toys R Us in my area has just been sitting there unused to this day since they shut down. The sign is still up. Every now and then driving by, I see TRU trucks in the parking lot. They recently put up a big fence around it, and I thought maybe they were gonna be remodeling or something, but at this point I think it was just to keep people out since there was usually people hanging out in the parking lot after dark.

I also know of a depot of some kind down south of me a ways that is just filled with TRU branded truck trailers. I can't help but wonder if someone is holding onto all the signage, some buildings and the trucks to try and restart the company somehow. Cuz after all this time, I would have thought all that stuff would be repurposed.

TBF the company chairmen did try to keep the company alive to the last moment. They even filed in court for an extension before their bankruptcy with a bounty attached for the CEOs to keeping the company alive. I remember it was actually considered a scandal at the time "the company is dying and they want to pay themselves a huge bonus?"

Why are they trying to lose their customers
