There’s an original poster for each post. When you’re talking in one post about another post, there is another original poster from the other post. What you call that other original poster is up to you, but OOP is what the BORU sub settled on.
The person who posts a repost is an OP for that specific post, to differentiate them from the other commenters in the post. It’s not like Original Content, which his the root source of all reposts, it’s just a term that (automatically, by the site’s own labels) refers to the person who made that specific post, regardless of its content.
Lmao now I’m definitely not going to bother. Not least because a Google search will come up with multiple answers, because acronyms have multiple uses, so I still won’t know what you’re talking about.
Seeing as you’re not really arguing in good faith in any way, shape or form, I’m out.
I just can’t understand how parents can treat their kids that way. And worse, refuse to be in their grandkids lives!
My “mum” has always been a spiteful, hate filled birch. We haven’t had the best relationship and as a kid I used to get the utter shit beat out of me when I did anything wrong. So I’d act up all the time. Get told I was just like my “piece of shit” biological father, who tried to kill me and had never been part of my life.
Despite all this and despite a lifetime of being out down by her, I remained in contact. Big mistake. It all came to a head in January of this year. I’m 7 months no contact with her - I don’t have her bringing me down, deadnaming my kids and generally being a horrid bastard. So much better!
Glad I’m not the only one that was thinking along those lines while reading this. She’ll be just fine in France where this mentality is long dead (France has other problems though).
I’m so glad these are getting reposted on lemmy because it was my absolute favorite thing on reddit and I miss it. So thank you!
As for this, it is so weird how people can go for years without addressing some minor misinterpretation. And then it becomes this crazy shit that blows up in someone’s face.
A long time ago a roommate of mine had a baby, and as he came of age all of our friends took it upon themselves to make their introductions as Uncle This or Aunt That. I remembered how confusing that was for me as a kid, so when Mom eventually spoke up on the matter I offered her Frunkle and Fraunt as an alternative title.
I don’t talk to her anymore but I do sometimes wonder if she’s still using that word.
You don’t need to be blood-related to consider someone family.
I grew up with a babysitter who I now call an aunt. She grew up with my family and we became involved in each other’s lives, to the point where our closeness and love for each other makes us a family.
Same for me. Very few of my aunts and uncles are by blood. I didn’t think twice about it growing up. My close friends and I have the same relationship. Love isn’t a finite resource and chosen family is an extension of that.
Yeah, it’s the same in my bubble, friends of parents are often called aunts/unckes. But for some reason I’ve never heard any of them call their friends’ children nephews/nieces.
Yes. My dad’s friends were also my uncles (and I have 8 actual uncles so it’s not like we were short on uncles), and I am an uncle to all my close friends’ kids
I especially don’t understand why she did this. If finances were actually that dire, then surely OOP would have know about it and mentioned it. With OOP working out of state, you’d also hope that this job is worth the time…
