What unofficial / fun names are there for monuments where you live? - Lemmy.World
In Dublin there was a monument locally called “The Floozie in the Jacuzzi” (“floozie” is someone promiscuous) which apparently the artist quite liked [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Livia_(monument)]. It got moved off the main thoroughfare at some point. [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Anna_Livia_Plurabelle.jpg/500px-Anna_Livia_Plurabelle.jpg]
What's your favourite emotionally devastating movie?
Mine: My dad never really spent much time with me / showed much interest (he died fairly young so we never got a chance to rectify that but he was a good soul otherwise).
I’ve invested a lot of time with all of my kids and it has paid huge dividends. I’ve always loved kids so I’m not sure it’s directly related / I feel like I would have anyway but I do think about it from time to time as a possible motivator.
In fairness I feel like I landed on my feet pretty well with my folks, especially compared to some of the stuff I’ve read on the internet. My mum is an absolute legend. Love her to bits.
What mistakes did your folks make that you've corrected as a parent?

Two for me: 1) The moment you feel tipsy it’s time to ease down. You have a stomach full of booze that’s going to make you more drunk even if you stop immediately. 2) If you think people are good, you’re probably right and if you think people are bad, you’re probably right. People are good IMO.
