As a teacher, I filled in to be the last person they needed for a college trip to Disney. As we entered the park and got checked for bombs,my idiotic NPC colleague lisped “it’s so beautiful here 🥹”. As we were getting checked for BOMBS
I don’t get the joke. Is it the contrast between beauty and bombs? Or did your colleague say that like those were their last words?
If they are roughly the age that i am they may remember a time when you didn’t get checked for bombs at amusement parks
I have to say it feels a bit dystopic. More so at how normal it is these days.
Oh my god, thank you - apparently I’m aging myself. Yes - we didn’t used to need go through bomb checkpoints.
Also for the record I feel bad about saying idiotic and NPC! That was unnecessarily unkind, even if I found her excruciatingly vapid
Reasons I don’t have children, no. 78: Even when you spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to give them a potentially once-in-a-lifetime special experience, they’re still obnoxious little shits.
They don’t understand, they can’t understand…
Was that the point though? I don’t think they implied that children knowingly act up.
It certainly reads like it. As in they should be grateful that you spent so much money instead of complaining about xyz
You read it like that. I understood it like undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch
