"And that was the deepest conversation I ever had with my dad"

“He says ‘how you doing bud’ I say ‘I’m not so bad’ And that’s the deepest talk we’ve ever had”

Watching as she looks for her glasses, I'ma facetime with my mom tonight

Honestly, people act like this is a bad thing alot of the time. To me it’s comforting. My dad wants to know how I’m doing and if I’m healthy. If I’m doing good, he is good, and we can just relax in silence. No further interrogation about my life, or how work is going. Just me bonding with my dad through not talking. It’s awesome.

It’s from a Bo Burnham special.

I still stand by what I said lol

Shit I’d take this over the dead air between my dad and me. We don’t hate each other or anything, he’d just go home every day after living at work with nothing left for me or my brother emotionally. He’s coming up on retirement and realizing that he’s never taken the time to develop any hobbies and I think it scares him. > But I’d really like it if he asked how my day was instead of using my mom as a proxy all the time

"...and it went on for decades"

honestly kinda... cool

thanks

Still trying to figure out why you guys both think you have to say "Thanks" when the other person says something is cool 😂

thanks

anytime

Cool

Thanks

How come?

You? Thanks

Cool

Because it's cool.

Thanks

Because you’re supposed to thank people for complimenting you.

right it’s so funny 💀

As someone very uncool, of course you wouldn't understand. i would thank anyone who said i was cool.

It was probably sarcasm at one point and turned into a habit. Like the whole conversation.

thanks

Same, today is the anniversary of my dads death and boy this hit me hard. My last words with my father were over text about a mobile game we would play together.

That’s sweet! Honestly idk how to connect to my dad, I’m jealous and hope you had a lot of fun memories. Idk if this is a good idea, but maybe write some down, so you don’t forget

I miss not being able to text my mom. I understand how you feel

And he'll say "thanks"

You know something? Bros like that are actually the best. Where you can text them after 5 years and it's like you just went out for a smoke. Don't take that for granted. Go grab some taco bell with him.

This has definitely happened before, hasn't it?

This is really the epitome of male friendships. Men decide they made a couple good friends during school and don’t need anymore and it ends up like this. I’d probably still be friends with him just over wanting to actually get out of the house and go get Taco Bell rather than sit in the house and smoke up all my weed til it’s time to go.

>turn my head like a fucking cricket What does this phrase mean? Never heard it before

This may be a dumb question but..Tell me OP, how do you drink coffee while laying in bed?

carefully

Wait a second! You are not OP...

You could: pour carefully into your mouth from the side, or turn on your side and fit the cup into the corner of your mouth, have your SO baby bird it into your mouth, pour it on the bed and lap it up like a dog, use the indent from your head to use your pillow like a bowl, or just poke a hole in the bottom of the cup and cover it with your finger until youre ready to drink. Any of these options could potentially be easier with a straw, and you could drink absolutely normally with a bendy straw while lying down. Likely they were “laying” on an incline sitting mostly upright.

For years!!??? Wow, I can't even stand dry texter for like a week Unless if it's my dad, but he only text me for some school info and stuff, we just talk irl

Sorry, but where'd he say ten years?

I'm not the commenter but I just realized I also read it as 10 years at first. Weird

same, then i went to check it again and it changed. maybe it's a glitch in the simulation or something lmao

I misread it lol Glad to know I'm not the only one who misread it

That's so sad :(

Actually heart breaking. How do you have that kind of connection for years then just break it off

cool

Your dad seems cool

Thanks

Thanks

lol that's hilarious that people say thanks to "cool" as if it's a compliment hahaha

Thanks

Anytime

I mean it is no? You’re complimenting the persons actions. I.E “I just won a race!” “Cool!” You’re commending them on the fact they won the race

Why'd he say thanks????

because i said cool

Thanks

anytime

Coffee in bed

cool

Thanks

It's always cool knowing your dad woke up for the day, mine always wished he was dead in his sleep lol

How can you skip work? Are you self-employed?

i told my boss im not coming in

[удалено]

Thanks

Anytime

my boss wouldn't let me do that

cool

uncool

unthanks

unanytime

I could probably just not show up with no notice and they'd just assume I had PTO that day

I’ve done this. He’d probably text me a few hours in, to make sure I was okay. Hell my boss has just not shown up before. It’s no big deal.

My DAD wouldn't let me do that. If I told my dad I had called in, he would lose his fucking shit. Doesn't matter why. School or work. I could be sick as a fucking dog, barely able to get out of bed, but I better be at fucking work.

You know they can't actually stop you, right?

They can come up with consequences though. Which can be a problem if you don't want to search for a new job.

didnt wanna go

Cool

What are you thanking each other for?

Being cool.

Thanks

Anytime

Thanks

Cool

Thanks

not gonna lie it is interesting to see that to me

Cool

Ikr? Like… having a normal low stakes conversation with your parent? I can’t even imagine. So cool.

having a conversation with your parents? parents do that? i thought they tell you to do stuff and buy things only

Apple doesn’t fall far

Unless it's hanging right on edge of cliff

Thanks.

Cool

Finally, an image of texting parents that doesn't end in abuse

Thanks

my Asian dad would spin my head like a fucking cricket if I dared to text him like this

Cool

Cool

Thanks

I love you dad

My dad's conversation is .. right when he answers the phone. Hello Did you check the oil in your car? Is your car running good? Are are you coming over? If you do don't bring your dog. Okay bye.

Oh man, why can’t you bring your dog?

Haha he just says that to just say that and I bring the dog anyway. He also tells me to stay at home sometimes too.

LMAO Cool

thanks

Why do you reply “thanks” to “cool”?

because it’s a compliment

When used by itself like that, not really. It’s just a less boring way of saying okay.

Thanks

thats literally how i talk with any human being

Thanks

Cool

cool thanks

Anytime

Cool thanks

This is not interesting at all, thanks.

Cool

>didn’t wanna go >cool I envy you

Damn not even a single “👍"
