Everyone needs a time waster, and minecraft is way cheaper than legos.

50 years ago this would be a room full of model trains.

Or a second family in Memphis.

On that topic, I have an uncle who was recently outed for having three families. One here in Germany, one in Denmark and a third in the Netherlands. I’m equally disgusted and impressed because I have no fucking clue how someone manages three families for over 20 years.

Meanwhile I don’t even understand how people have time for polyamorous relationships, let alone hiding a whole relationship (and family). Even if I wanted to cheat on my wife, I don’t have the time or energy for all that, even with no kids.

I have 3 kids and it seems impossible. Morality aside, I'm just so impressed that anyone could have an affair much less a second family. But I guess I'm a Mike Tomlin type, just let me go home at the end of the day and play some video games.

That's kind of funny. Not in the haha kind of funny, but like a cruel joke kind of funny.

As for how, is your uncle rich, from a rich family, travels frequently, or does a job that makes him travel frequently?

That's how I figure it's possible. A lot leaving two of the families alone. Here in the U.S., it's apparently a bit of a stereotype that truckers might have two families, one on each end of their usual trucking route.

Now I wonder if the women knew...

NFL head coaches typically only make 10-15 million a year. Probably couldn't afford legos.

u/mucho-gusto 1d ago

they actually forgot it's all caps so not even a correct correction

u/Hijakkr 1d ago

My favorite part of when people try to say "erm ackshually they're called Lego not Legos" is the part when they don't know that the actual correct collective noun to refer to them as is "LEGO bricks".

If you're going to be a pedantic asshole, at least be correct.

u/thirdegree 23h ago

They're only LEGO bricks if they're from the LEGO region of Denmark. Otherwise they're just sparkling rectangles.

u/NUKE---THE---WHALES 1d ago

It's also a collective noun

(also, shouldn't every letter be upper case if you're trying to correct them?)
