if we are dads can we otm ourselves?

you may not use this thread to otm yourself just because you happen to fall in the dad category

otm

(signed, a dad)

can we otm other dads?

thereby avoiding the OTM Dad Paradox

my dad would be so proud of being otm if he used the internet, which he decidedly does not

most otm thing my dad ever did was dying tbh!

still waiting for that one myself

(my father's death, not my own)

best thing about not giving a shit my dad not having to go through all that rigmarole of visiting the tosser while he was dying!

I read a funny post by a woman earlier complaining her dad was worried about security on his Windows 7 laptop and rather than let her install some rigorous anti-spyware/anti-virus software he sent her on a fools errand in a taxi to some shit looking PC store where a "grown-up" could sort it out!

sorry that is very not otm dads

"he dresses like a dad but he's still pretty cool'

the reason why C+A couldn't continue in the UK

I was describing my overweight horse's body shape and someone was like "oh he has dad bod" which was otm

My family is Hindu but like many non-Christian families in the US still celebrated Christmas. We started small, but each year the number of presents under the tree would get bigger, especially after my then gf joined our family events. One xmas morn, my dad looked at the glut of presents under the tree and said with some disgust, "we are four Hindus and a Buddhist!" Nobody said a thing, collectively feeling ashamed, and then next year we cut it way down because dad otm

Just about 86% of how crap my childhood was is directly linked to what a horrid, conservative, miserable piece of shit my dad was. Like I said he was finally otm though and that was his shining moment for me!

RONIN directed by john frankenheimer written by david mamet and starring robert deniro

serious question: is this the best action movie of the late 90s? i watched it last night before i went to bed and i had forgot how totally great it is. and not just the car scenes either!!! everyone is fucking on point. a lot of my friends hated the macguffin suitcase and the constant "man in the wheelchair" shit but i LOVED that (i know this is hardly the first move to ever do it but theres something so appropriately mamet about that kind of action-movie-formalism that i think just works).

i love the way the geopolitics of these ex-military guys' situations is both totally absent (since its never really made entirely clear who they are, what they used to do, what theyre doing right now except in the vaguest sense) and totally suffocatingly present

Ronin is a very dad movie, but "Ronin is any good" is not otm.

("notm" is also a non-otm dad move)

killing himself was pretty much the least otm thing my dad ever did

you'd think that shooting yourself through the eye would do the trick, but you'd be wrong

fortunately my mom was upstairs and it didn't take *too* much to convince the cops she hadn't killed him

happy thanksgiving!

i’m always so sorry you and your mom have had to endure that, it’s a very hard way to lose someone

i saw my dad recently for maybe the final time, he lives far away and is in poor health. we had a few drinks together though for a farewell if that is what it comes to. people live so long now, but the last years are filled with long hospital stays, very diminished mobility and financial worries. i guess less so if they are on the money

sorry, that was more for Aging Parents. he is oftrn otm in his way tho
