Link Devastates Lily | Ear Biscuits

[@onyxgothicc]

Link just the mere fact that she LET you hold her phone and go thru her photos shows you're a great dad. Not that my parents aren't great but if they went through my photos, losing memories would be the least of my worries. To save the sanctity of our relationship, they will NEVER see my photo folder. 😅

It’s so sweet to see how deeply link cares for his kids, regardless of whether photos matter to people in the comments (weird of them to have such an opinion on a strangers connection to her photos but I digress) , it mattered to his daughter so it mattered to him, lots of parents miss that component of parenting, if it’s a big deal to ur kid then it’s a big deal period, happy Father’s Day daddios!

[@alainadavi]

This right here!

[@quetzal3428]

just want to say how much I appreciate how Rhett and Link seem to reflect on how they are "doing" as dads, and how their actions affect their kids. It really shows how much they care and love their family and it's really heartwarming. Even if you mess up sometimes or act a little too "dad-ish" - for a kid, knowing that a parent cares that much about you is a priceless feeling

[@DetChesmond]

5:27 Link basically said he’d rather die than burn the cards his family made for him, I think that qualifies for the “Really Rad Dad” award

[@christim1252]

Sure, if your a 5 yr old handing out best dad tickets 😂

[@LadyCynthiana]

Love the way Link explains how he felt physically when he realized he'd screwed up. Really shows the importance of being aware of that mind-body connection and I believe being able to share that can create more empathy on both sides of an emotional situation.

[@friendlyneigborhoodbean]

The fact that his wife immediately clocked it as anxiety based on his face alone too

I just cant belive Link's gen z kids had to rely on LINK to fix their phone issues. Lol

Gen Z/Alpha is surprisingly bad at tech- they were born with apps and easy UIs so they don’t know how to use the file explorer, manually save, etc.

[@caltagos]

I use Google photos and each member gets their private cloud space. I can't see my wife's or daughter's photos unless they share them. The only thing that makes it a group is that one person pays the bill and everyone gets the benefits

[@bradasstv]

Lol I remember that episode where Link switched to Google photos. I dont think anyone cared if Link used Apple or Google photos, it was the staff reaction, specifically Stevie. She sounded like Link did something so wrong for switching from Apple photos and it was just weird lol

[@gabiluch87]

I want ONE day with each of them on full dad mode. I miss my dad and his dad shenanigans... He only had 2 jokes and would tell them like he was telling them for first time every time and when I didn't laugh he'd explain them to me, again, for the gazillion time

[@toast-cj]

Some people are really conflating the fact that taking pictures and miss "living in the moment" is a completely different issue than the value that photos have to people. Just like how I enjoy sitting with my grandparents to go through an old photo album, I also love to reflect on the moments of my life with my partner through the photos on my phone. Also, if someone says something is important to them, that's all that really matters. Who are you to judge what people care about

[@rose-sv4eh]

I am a fellow 21yo woman with a lot of precious memories in my phone, namely a lot of pictures of my pets that I have loved and lost and memories that are once in a lifetime. I update a flash drive with my memories every time I switch carriers or upgrade phones or whatever else. I had one "Oh shit" moment when I swapped carriers because my pictures were backed up to one of the old carrier's backup and I didnt remember if my google account had synced with it or not, luckily it had, but that was after a pretty rough loss for me and I wouldve lost my mind if I lost the only pictures Id ever be able to have of my girl before she passed, so now I have 2 storage app things along with saving to a flash drive just in case something goes wrong with the apps.

[@LindseyGiles-kp3lx]

So much anxiety through this story Link. 😂

[@Kreepykrafts]

All i kept thinking about was her 21st pics and videos 😮😮 I'm glad you got it fixed Link now I've a tummy ache from even thinking about it 😂

[@sammythebanished]

Some of y’all in the comments need to get your heads out of your asses. I have partial memory loss due to cptsd and if I don’t take pictures I won’t remember the exciting moments. I print them out after 6 months or so but stop shaming people for wanting to document their life.

[@Koooo4]

The "you cant criticise people for this thing because I have a specific disorder" is such a useless argument that happens for every damn topic. The vast majority of people do not have memory loss. The people being critical obviously arent talking about people with memory loss.

[@winterkeptuswarm]

I understand you. We shouldn't tell people what is important to them. As I get older, I feel like I need photos to bring me back to certain moments. That's just how some peoples' memory works. 😢

I wish I had more going on during the summer

[@K.pendragon]

when I was younger I’d get sharp pains from anxiety but now it’s mostly extreme bloating so I can relate to your story unfortunately

[@Chasing.therain]

It is because you, being a nervous person, like I am as well. Cortisol is rushing through your body all of the time and then when you get really upset about something...your body goes into full survival mode and your body functions just shut down for a bit. That's why your stomach was hurting. I have the same thing happen to me. Lol

[@BHuesmann]

Rhett, if you haven't been to the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, you *gotta* check it out when you're back there. It's the 2nd largest in all of North America, and has amazing special exhibits and even a research library. I've used their online research portal to look up plants I'm now considering planting in my new country in Costa Rica even! Wonderful place, really. Just don't take any seeds from there.

[@lizburch20]

In high school I was in a musical that was supposed to be recorded and when the person went to review the footage after all of the shows were over there was something wrong with the camera and all of the footage was somehow corrupted … I always thought about how bad the guy must’ve felt when he realized 😭 he literally recorded them for us every single year and never wanted to do it again after that

[@hailSithis4693]

The difference at the end when Rhett's talking about keeping things to himself and Link says he needs to share his thoughts to enrich other people's experience. I think Link's heart is in the right place, but he is overconfident in his abilities. Which reminds me of my dad. He wants everyone to feel satisfied but thinks the only way that will happen has to involve him.
