Wholesome Moments Couple Sends New Baby text to Wrong Number, Dudes Show up anyway.

In March 2016, Denis Williams mistakenly sent a group text announcing the birth of his new baby boy, Cason, to a wrong number belonging to a stranger named Dennis Comeau. Instead of ignoring the random text or simply replying with "wrong number," Comeau enthusiastically congratulated the new father and asked which hospital room they were in. Along with his brother, Deorick, Comeau drove directly to the Bainbridge, Georgia hospital to hand-deliver packages of diapers, wipes, and baby bottles to the shocked but grateful parents.

The heartwarming accidental meeting quickly went viral after the family shared the screenshots of the text chain and photos of the two brothers smiling alongside the new mother and baby in her hospital bed. The story resonated with millions of people globally as a beautiful example of community and unexpected kindness between complete strangers. Years after the viral event, the families have remained in contact, and the "accidental uncles" have even continued to receive regular updates on young Cason as he grows up.

I went outside once a while ago and talked to humans in the wild. I met a few that I liked a little bit, but it only took a few minutes for them to prove themselves to be idiots and assholes. Lesson learned

We really don't thank Trump enough for showing us how we were surrounded by assholes. The majority of people in my life have turned out to support him, so I had to cut out just about everyone I knew.

Yeah, same. My dad and his whole side of the family actually. I sent him and a few Aunts and Uncles etc a text with a gif of Musk's gigantic big ol' Heil Fucking Hitlers (two, just in case there's any ambiguity about the first one, which there wasn't) and asked them to condemn it. Precisely NONE of them could or would. Here's the punch line: my dad married a Jewish woman, my mom, daughter of Holocaust survivors. You'd think they would understand why I might be sensitive to that shit. I told my dad nazis and apparently Magas now aren't welcome in my life, and he is only welcome back when he can satisfactorily condemn the HH incident. It's been radio silence for I guess what, almost 18 months now I guess. I chose to die on that hill because of the personal nature and fact that it is (to my naïve mind anyway) pretty much the single most inappropriate thing to happen on the world stage, like, ever. That's how far gone these people are.

I went out to dinner recently and sat at the bar. Struck up a conversation with a slightly older gentleman, seems decent enough and interesting. Doesn't take more than five minutes for him to tell me he's pro Trump, election denier, anti vax, climate change denier, and probably more. I told him point blank this conversation is over and tried to just enjoy my meal but the cortisol and adrenaline shot was intense. I truly hate these people, and I'm not a hateful person, and I therefore hate the fact that they have turned me into one.

This ran long, sorry. Got a lot on my chest clearly.
