Is it weird to call your parents mother and father. I always associate it with weird nerds, but my parents call their parents mother and father and they aren't nerds

It’s better than like, “maternal unit” or something.

Or this:
My old college roommate has his mom in his phone as mom, while having his dad in as (first name) (last name). It’s always been weird to me that he has mom for one and his dad’s full legal given name for the other lol

When my dad calls me or vice versa we answer the phone like it's a business call acknowledging each other's legal names before starting a conversation.

I had this coworker who came a very old fashioned, educated, conservative Hungarian family. He had to address his grandfather as Dr. Jonas (note, Jonas wasn't his actual last name, I just don't wanna doxx the guy and Jonas was the first last name that came to my mind)

When my coworker turned 18, his gramps offered him "Mr." instead of "Dr."

i had a boss once that said his son calls him "Papito" (Daddy) but then followed up with "But he's 6, if he's doing that when he's older I'd tell him that's a bit weird, just call me Dad" lmao

I think of "Mother/Father" as more of titles than a name... I know we could say the same for Mom/Dad but I grew up where if I said Billy or Brenda they'd be like "HEY! It's Mom or Dad to you, We're not one of your school friends," a respect thing --- and tbf I think that's pretty normal lmao.

Anyone else consume a single piece of media from a subculture and then pretend that you're part of the subculture

I've been listening to some Sex Pistols recently and all I talk about recently is anti-authority and getting a punk haircut

Also, I've found out about straight edge. I guess that's what I am, I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't smoke, I am mostly vegetarian, I do sports, only thing I do is a cup of coffee a day at most

i think this is pretty normal when interest is piqued - wanting to be able to share it.

getting that "spark" by something could be a message or a new home you're finding that more fits your soul/mind/energy.

as silly some see it i grew up around a few juggalos so i ofc ended up loving it too, esp seeing them (icp) in wwf, wcw, ecw as a kid lol. older ones always looked out when i was the shy kid till i branched out a bit (since my old school bus had me then in elementary (K-5th) and like mid-level grades(6-8) with us from 2 diff schools next to each other). was that first experience of "we like the same thing so we got one another"

Honestly I love dried fruit and I sometimes eat dried prunes in secret. It's a very shameful pleasure, but I can't help myself. I feel like a geriatric patient everytime I eat dried prunes or dried figs

Btw talking about fruit, someone gifted me a quince. I never ate a quince. Anyone know what I can do with it? I don't wanna make jam with it
