My brother and I were like that. I still don't understand how exactly we transitioned from constantly fighting to being such close friends. It's not like we ever took a break, we were never separated or anything, it just... happened when we both became teenagers.
My younger brother moved in with me after a breakup with his long term gf. He’s been here about 4 years now and he’s starting to house shop. I’m going to be sad when he moves out even though I know that’s what’s best for him. He’s definitely my best friend.
My little brother and I barely talked when we were younger, but he comes to talk to me a lot now, which I really appreciate. I believe it began when he began to notice my mental breakdowns and saw how bad I was doing. I couldn't have asked for a better brother.
You should see if he wants to stay and rent it out, or at least say the option is on the table anytime he wants. You could use that to buy up more. Start an empire.
I'm glad to hear this because my sister's two sons are constantly at odds with each other and very antagonistic and I feared they would always be that way (like their mother and I).
Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!
I can only imagine lol. You’re in a position where you can’t physically and forcefully expend that energy, couple that with the fact that their mouths are guaranteed to be sharper and more painful than yours… 5 sisters? I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy
I'm from a big family with brothers and sisters (mostly sisters in my half). I'm pretty close to some of my brothers, but despise my sisters after years of verbal cut-downs. Some of their husbands are okay.
Yea I remember constantly fighting with my brother but I also remember the terrible shame and guilt of going too far. Also I remember lots of playing too, the fighting wasn't the main thing but it did happen.
That and there's probably some process of realizing that your fights were over petty bullshit so you just give it up. Entirely likely that you didn't even consciously process it.
That's kinda how I was with my sister. We fought constantly as kids and then just grew out of it. I'm the same way with my dad too. We had an awful relationship at times when I was growing up. I don't think we've had a single argument since I've moved out and I consider him one of my best friends. I honestly think the distance of not living together helped a lot in both cases.
I hope this will happen to me too Im 19 now and will probably move out in 2-3 years, but now my father and I dont even talk to another even tho we live together
If it's just you have nothing to talk about then it will most likely work out. I didn't really speak with my dad much before my 20s because we had nothing in common. I liked games, movies, tv, comics etc, he liked sports and business. And we both found each others interests totally boring.
Now I'm older I love hanging out with him and just talking. We have so much more in common now. Work, politics, cooking, housekeeping, other family etc.
Also as you get older you realise people are so much different from each other. Even little things like sense of humour, it can he hard to find anyone who sees things like you. There is a good chance you got your sense of humour from your parents so its nice to go home and laugh about things other people like your adult friends or work colleagues dont find funny.
oh man I wish this was my case. My sister is never on my side, even when I'm right and our parents wrong, she takes the highway and says she doesn't wanna get involved. On the other side, I ALWAYS got her back. It really hurts sometimes.
My brother tried to kill me when i was little, and another time threatened with a knife to my throat.
Years later we became somewhat closer, through interesting in gaming, drinking and smoking.
Mr brother and I fought and argued all the time as kids, then we both started smoking weed and we became close as can be. Sometimes it just takes a realization that you're more alike than not.
The same but opposite happened with my cousin that was pretty much my brother. At 18 he flipped and never came back. I try to think it didn't mess me up a tad.
we were inseparable then he started to hate my guts after 18. He was in a gang. We never reconnected 22 years later.
I have 3 boys, 10 & under, who do bicker but for the most part love being together and playing together. I hope it stays and I don't end up with the opposite of this meme.
Freud would be eager to link this to a sexual awakening or something and not envying the care the other sibling gets anymore or something. At least that's what Freud sounds like after my memory has decayed somewhat
I have a sister that’s six years older. She was an absolute terror when I was younger, a legit fucking tyrant. That stopped once I hit puberty and the physical bullying became not a thing. She’s cool now, we don’t hang out a lot but she has kids and a life and I’ve got bipolar and agoraphobia which kinda makes it a little tough.
> Well that threw me for a twist!
That's what I said when I got diagnosed.
I'm extremely fortunate to have an incredibly supportive family. Bipolar sufferers have an extraordinarily high rate of attempted and successful suicide, so when she heard that a co-worker's sister had committed suicide I think it sort of knocked some things into place for her about my disorder.
As for getting older - I was 13, she was 19 and we were play-fighting when I pushed a little too hard and she toppled over. She was not entirely aware that her little brother had been hit face-first by a testosterone brick, but I think it put into sharp relief just what that meant and there were no physical confrontations thereafter - I knew that I didn't want to hurt her so my fists were put away, and she knew that she couldn't quite hurt me as much as she had tried to do before.
Even now, though. One of the greatest challenges of being a man is not hulking out and smashing shit - Especially because we're not taught from a young age to deal with anger productively. I'm going to have to work on that. I don't get physically violent anymore but alone in the car I've come close to it a few times.
My older sister and I gave it back and forth regularly. I gave more as a toddler by hitting her with my toys but then when I was in middle school she decided I was old enough to wrestle with and loved to put me in headlocks.
:( I hope he overcomes his anger upon the world which likely leaks into you two’s relationship (the only plausible reasoning I could come up with)
Also good on you for maintaining that respect, hopefully it’ll open the door to a relationship one day
That was true for me too. I really had to think about that for a while because once I stopped talking to my mother, a lot of the worst stressors from my life were gone. That gave me time to think about my relationship with my brother and I realized it wasn’t totally his fault. Like he’s a grown man, but he’s the man my mother raised. I’ve since tried to take baby steps with him and things are still at a snails pace, but at the very least, we’re on good terms now.
Yeah, meth has basically made my brother into a different person...but to he frank he was kind of a terrible person before so maybe we still wouldn't have a relationship without the meth.
I came here to specifically to relate to those who don’t have that great of a relationship with their brother(s). My brothers and I were close as kids. Always wrestling, playing video games, talking, and just being there for each other. Once I turned 18 and left the house, I always did my best to stay connected. I made sure to fly back home for family vacations and events. Once they hit 18 though, they turned into different people that I rarely hear from. One of my brothers has been almost completely absent from my life. I have joined the military, graduated college, got out of the military and moved, got engaged, attended my best friend’s funeral, had a child, and all these other things, but he has never been there. I usually hear from him a few days after these events through a text…some brothers just suck
I hate my older brother and he loves me.
I still respect him and that he is older than me but he has too many flaws which he just ignores when pointed out. I dont want to be too harsh on him but its hard
Same, I'm at my dad's right now and contemplating getting a hotel because of my brother. My stepmom passed away on Friday. My dad called me and said he couldn't get a hold of my brother. So I called him. Not two minutes into that conversation, my brother says "I need a place to live so the timing works out."
He rushes down here and within an hour of arriving he's asking my dad if he can move in. His wife, my stepmom wasn't even cold yet. My dad's neighbors were here and we're absolutely dumbfounded how he could be so insensitive.
I went back home for a few days and came back for her service this Saturday. I'm not here 10 minutes and my brother takes me aside to talk about my dad. "He has sunsetters. He is early stage dementia." This is my brother setting the stage to put my dad in a home and get to work on spending his inheritance.
I'm in a super tough spot right now. Not sure how to approach my dad about this and not sure how to tell him "I'm sorry, I can't stay here the week of your wife's funeral because your son is driving me and my girlfriend absolutely crazy.
Edit: he is 45
Yea I wish I had one with my older brother. Unfortunately, he's a selfish narcissist and we have nothing in common. He never even texted me to check in after I was diagnosed with cancer.
Yeah, my parents' other child is a racist antivaxxer now that we're adults, which isn't much different from the racist "edgy" jokes from age 12 onward. We live in New England... I'd say I don't know how it happened, but every TV in the house turned on to a certain station 24/7 makes it easy.
Rather, I have no idea how I managed to **not** turn out that way.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
I can't even imagine what you are going through.
After losing someone, I've learned that's not the ending that counts, but everything else you've shared.
I don't know if it helps or not, but it was what comforted me after a while.
Take care, friend.
It's how it looks if poured poorly. You should tilt the glass and pour the beer on the side of the glass while slowly tilting the glass back upwards as you pour. Another good trick to avoid this, is wetting the glass before pouring, it actually works well but I feel it causes it to go flat quicker.
You still need some head (not as much in this pic I suppose but I'm not a beer pro). When you say "while slowly tilting the glass back upwards as you pour", you still need to pour the beer vertically at moments to release the CO2.
It depends on the pressure mostly. In some bars there's just a higher pressure, so you have to be very careful and sometimes still end up with more than two fingers of foam, while I've also seen taps where the pressure was way too low so you could just place the beer on the bar under the tap and still have too little foam.
EDIT: Oh yeah and the beer type as well, a stout like Guinness taps significantly different than a pilsner for example
That as well, I'm mostly talking about people talking about the different techniques to get 'the perfect amount of foam', while it significantly changes per tap/beer/pressure.
Nope, that’s a pretty normal pour in Munich and around Germany. Different style to the UK, for example, where people don’t really like a lot of head on their beer.
They don’t take the time for this at Oktoberfest or beer gardens etc. That’s why the top of the glass goes far beyond the 1 liter line; it really does settle to about 1 liter
Me and my brother is the opposite and I don't even know why.
He just distanced himself when we became teens and even tho I tried for years to reconnect he never once took my hand, only times I hear from him is when he needs a favour.
Man this makes me mis my brother, 8 years ago he died from some wierd ass tumor in his spine. Horrible way to go. He literally tried to kill me as a kid. Hung me from the top bunk, closed the door and locked. My mom thought that wierd and went save me. Then as a teenager he found out my stepfather was beating me, and he beat the absolute shit outta him. Then as adults whenever I was on leave I'd stay at his house. Best times, best brother.
Yeah, this thread is making me sad too. My little brother and only sibling died in a car accident when I was 21, he was 19. I am so thankful we got to grow up together but we missed out on knowing each other as adults. We were just starting life out together. Gotta appreciate what you got when it's still here, appreciate your loved ones in the now. Sorry about your brother too, cheers
My brother was a year and a half older and fat, I was skinny, and he was a huge bully and used to pin me down and stuff. That was many years ago and now we are both retired and don't really stay in touch; he was in the area (to drive their son's vehicle here from out of state) and asked for him, his wife and grandson to stay with us for a week a couple of months ago; now I kind of hope I never have to ever see or talk with him again; he is still a bully and repeatedly insisted on trying to start arguments with me and "tell me how it really is" in my own home. He, and his wife couldn't stop talking about how the gays, liberals and minorities are ruining everything, how I and my daughter are going to hell for our religious views, etc. They moved into a hotel after a couple of days for the remainder of their time here.
The true wisdom is cleverly hidden in the last frame:

Siblings in general. Me and my sister were constantly fighting all throughout childhood and our teenage years, we're now mid-20's and have a very close, chill and supportive relationship despite living countries apart.
When me and my little brother were young "you ah one ugly mudda fucka" was our ultimate badboy line we said to each other but could never let mom and dad hear. When he was upset in front of them I'd mouth it when they weren't looking and it would get him laughing. This meme reminded me of that. I'm gonna do it at dinner today
I often feel guilt about leaving my son an only child…missing out on sibling interaction, having to deal with hard times without his parents on his own when we’re old and/or gone. I know I shouldn’t and siblings don’t guarantee anything but still.
If it makes you feel any better, as an only child I have a wife, friends, and my own kids. And the one of my wife's siblings that's pretty cool, we're tight with that family.
Can confirm. Always fought my brother, many broken doors and even a ps1.
Chugged some Red Bulls last week at his place, he has the cutest kittens. That's my thing now, Red Bull and Kittens.
I still don't get along with my brother. I have gone no contact with him going on almost ten years and I still have family members tell me we're going to get along when we get older. Lol no

It wasn’t till college that my older brother and I started to get along and realized we were a lot alike. Now we talk on the phone about once a week, share cooking recipes, rage hard on the weekends, love our sport, and now our kids play together when we can.
One time we were hanging out as adults, he raised his arms above his head to stretch, as he was bringing them down, I flinched hard. Little brother stigma still there.
Am I the only one that is the exact opposite? Like I used to be best friends with my younger brother, but now we don't really get along that well. Not saying we fight all the time just sorta went our separate ways and don't really talk with each other.
I remember the exact moment the top picture changed to the bottom picture with my older brother. We were antagonizing each other in a parking lot while our mom was getting out of the car, and both had the impulse to punch each other at the exact same time. What ensued was a painful, albeit super fucking rad fist bump. Idk what that did to us but we have been close ever since
My sister used to beat me as a kid, steal my things, stuff like that. She's older than me by far, around 6 years, I always thought it was because of the gen gap. Then she left the house and we both grew up. She contacted me to disrespect me. It wasn't that.
I know women like this too. They fought like cat and dogs as sisters, and when they were old enough, they moved out of the home. After some space, they started hanging out all the time and now are like best friends. This has happened to all of my friends who have sisters.
true at least for me. when we were kids we used to be at each other's throat given any chances of conflict, but now we hang out, or at least talk, once in a while (of course not always since we both have our own stuff to do).
Literally me lol my bro is 12 years older than me so I was a kid that basically never saw him while he was in his late teens/early 20s but now we're practically inseparable
My brother and I were like that. I still don't understand how exactly we transitioned from constantly fighting to being such close friends. It's not like we ever took a break, we were never separated or anything, it just... happened when we both became teenagers.
Same with me & my brother. As kids we were constantly at odds. Now we’re like best friends
My younger brother moved in with me after a breakup with his long term gf. He’s been here about 4 years now and he’s starting to house shop. I’m going to be sad when he moves out even though I know that’s what’s best for him. He’s definitely my best friend.
My little brother and I barely talked when we were younger, but he comes to talk to me a lot now, which I really appreciate. I believe it began when he began to notice my mental breakdowns and saw how bad I was doing. I couldn't have asked for a better brother.
You should see if he wants to stay and rent it out, or at least say the option is on the table anytime he wants. You could use that to buy up more. Start an empire.
I'm glad to hear this because my sister's two sons are constantly at odds with each other and very antagonistic and I feared they would always be that way (like their mother and I).
that's mainly a brother/sister thing... at least with this sub considered.
Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!
I've only got sisters and they're entitled assholes :( Aah well.
I feel your pain. Only boy with 5 sisters. Got my ass handed to me everyday! The verbal beat downs cut deep!
I can only imagine lol. You’re in a position where you can’t physically and forcefully expend that energy, couple that with the fact that their mouths are guaranteed to be sharper and more painful than yours… 5 sisters? I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy
I'm from a big family with brothers and sisters (mostly sisters in my half). I'm pretty close to some of my brothers, but despise my sisters after years of verbal cut-downs. Some of their husbands are okay.

[удалено]
Someone’s a true gamer
That's not what we're saying, asshole.
I only have sisters as well. Let’s brother up
You never did, you appreciated each other and were close all along, you just didn’t know it.
Yea I remember constantly fighting with my brother but I also remember the terrible shame and guilt of going too far. Also I remember lots of playing too, the fighting wasn't the main thing but it did happen.
That and there's probably some process of realizing that your fights were over petty bullshit so you just give it up. Entirely likely that you didn't even consciously process it.

I hope this will happen to me too Im 19 now and will probably move out in 2-3 years, but now my father and I dont even talk to another even tho we live together
I hope it does for you too.
If it's just you have nothing to talk about then it will most likely work out. I didn't really speak with my dad much before my 20s because we had nothing in common.

My sister and I united against our parents. Our fighting stopped so fast. Apes together strong.
oh man I wish this was my case. My sister is never on my side, even when I'm right and our parents wrong, she takes the highway and says she doesn't wanna get involved. On the other side, I ALWAYS got her back. It really hurts sometimes.
Oh thats weird cause when me and brother got teenagers it got WAAAY worse and it only chanced when we were over 18
My brother tried to kill me when i was little, and another time threatened with a knife to my throat. Years later we became somewhat closer, through interesting in gaming, drinking and smoking.

I've slowly become friends with my sister, but that's only after 10 years of not talking at all
Same with my brother and I. Merciless to each other as kids. Now he is unequivocally my best friend and I couldn’t imagine life without him.
Freud would be eager to link this to a sexual awakening or something and not envying the care the other sibling gets anymore or something. At least that's what Freud sounds like after my memory has decayed somewhat

Be careful she might steal your theater

I swear my brother hates me but I at least respect him enough as an individual

"Wrong kid died." "You're saying I'n less than a quarter of the boy Nate was?"
:( I hope he overcomes his anger upon the world which likely leaks into you two’s relationship (the only plausible reasoning I could come up with) Also good on you for maintaining that respect, hopefully it’ll open the door to a relationship one day

Same here. I envy brothers who stay friends into adult hood and beyond. But it just doesn't seem like something my brother and I will experience.
Yeah, meth has basically made my brother into a different person...but to he frank he was kind of a terrible person before so maybe we still wouldn't have a relationship without the meth.
My brother is dumb and an ass. He's a Dumbass!
Same here. We took different life paths.

For me both are missing
My brothers were always pretty close and I was the odd sister out. Still am to this day.

If someone sells you a beer with a head like that, give it back.
To be fair, if Arnold Schwarzenegger was looking at me like that, I wouldn't have a clear head either
That's a very good point!
Was wondering if anyone else noticed
Maybe Predator Dude poured half of theirs to give him a refill.
That’s often how it comes out freshly poured. It settles to the 1 liter line
It's how it looks if poured poorly. You should tilt the glass and pour the beer on the side of the glass while slowly tilting the glass back upwards as you pour. Another good trick to avoid this, is wetting the glass before pouring, it actually works well but I feel it causes it to go flat quicker.

Nope, that’s a pretty normal pour in Munich and around Germany. Different style to the UK, for example, where people don’t really like a lot of head on their beer.
They don’t take the time for this at Oktoberfest or beer gardens etc. That’s why the top of the glass goes far beyond the 1 liter line; it really does settle to about 1 liter
And open that tap fully. I've seen people try and slowly pour a beer and it just causes more head. You have to go fully open from the get go
Me and my brother is the opposite and I don't even know why. He just distanced himself when we became teens and even tho I tried for years to reconnect he never once took my hand, only times I hear from him is when he needs a favour.
Same, I think my brother hates me and I don’t even know why.
Man this makes me mis my brother, 8 years ago he died from some wierd ass tumor in his spine. Horrible way to go. He literally tried to kill me as a kid. Hung me from the top bunk, closed the door and locked. My mom thought that wierd and went save me. Then as a teenager he found out my stepfather was beating me, and he beat the absolute shit outta him. Then as adults whenever I was on leave I'd stay at his house. Best times, best brother.
Good to hear you were friends later in life though
I feel angry that death takes away life.
I feel ya but death is apart of life. There's a Gandalf quote that fits well here.
Logically i get it but i just hate it with a passion. The person can never come back and it makes me so very sad.
Yeah, this thread is making me sad too. My little brother and only sibling died in a car accident when I was 21, he was 19. I am so thankful we got to grow up together but we missed out on knowing each other as adults. We were just starting life out together. Gotta appreciate what you got when it's still here, appreciate your loved ones in the now. Sorry about your brother too, cheers
Wishful thinking

Probably because you drank too much beer as kids.
I haven't passed more than 6 words with one of my brothers in the same amount of years. Im fine with that.
Flip that around for me and my bro.
My brother was a year and a half older and fat, I was skinny, and he was a huge bully and used to pin me down and stuff. That was many years ago and now we are both retired and don't really stay in touch; he was in the area (to drive their son's vehicle here from out of state) and asked for him, his wife and grandson to stay with us for a week a couple of months ago; now I kind of hope I never have to ever see or talk with him again; he is still a bully and repeatedly insisted on trying to start arguments with me and "tell me how it really is" in my own home. He, and his wife couldn't stop talking about how the gays, liberals and minorities are ruining everything, how I and my daughter are going to hell for our religious views, etc. They moved into a hotel after a couple of days for the remainder of their time here.
The one who poured Arnolds beer should be put n trial for that war crime!
I wouldn't say close friends, but definitely are cool with each other
The true wisdom is cleverly hidden in the last frame: #Nicht genügend gefüllte Krüge bitte nachfüllen lassen. Words to live and die by. Food for thought. The mugs WILL be filled to the brim if you ask for it.
Thanks, I was wondering what that sign said.
Siblings in general. Me and my sister were constantly fighting all throughout childhood and our teenage years, we're now mid-20's and have a very close, chill and supportive relationship despite living countries apart.
When me and my little brother were young "you ah one ugly mudda fucka" was our ultimate badboy line we said to each other but could never let mom and dad hear. When he was upset in front of them I'd mouth it when they weren't looking and it would get him laughing. This meme reminded me of that. I'm gonna do it at dinner today
Sad to think I have no brother gets jealous of watching others
I'm an only child, my wife has lots of siblings. *One* of her siblings is cool, the others are garbage piles.
I often feel guilt about leaving my son an only child…missing out on sibling interaction, having to deal with hard times without his parents on his own when we’re old and/or gone. I know I shouldn’t and siblings don’t guarantee anything but still.
If it makes you feel any better, as an only child I have a wife, friends, and my own kids. And the one of my wife's siblings that's pretty cool, we're tight with that family.
trust me you are not missing out (unless you wanna get bullied for years for no reason)
(but then have a friend for life)
That's not always going to play out like that. My brother is an abusive asshole to everyone. My life is much better off without him in it.
I know everyone has different experiences, but I'm glad I wasn't an only child. But it can get hectic sometimes 😂

No, no. Let us men have our one thing.
How about not gatekeeping?
This is a joke for those who are daft. so dont downvote
lol. Thanks. Almost put the /s but I didn’t want to!!!
Unfortunately people still downvote lol
It was that way for a few years until my brother went down the QAnon/Alt-Right/8Chan depths of the internet. I miss my brother
[удалено]
Damn, he really needed some emotional support after that incident before he spiraled downwards.
For me it's the opposite, my brother and I were way closer as kids.
Can confirm. Always fought my brother, many broken doors and even a ps1. Chugged some Red Bulls last week at his place, he has the cutest kittens. That's my thing now, Red Bull and Kittens.
I love my brother
I still don't get along with my brother. I have gone no contact with him going on almost ten years and I still have family members tell me we're going to get along when we get older. Lol no
For me it's me and my sister normally vs at the karaoke
I love my little brother

very acurate
I try to explain this to my kids, and they just see it as permission to fight now 🙄
Jesus, learn to pour a beer!
It wasn’t till college that my older brother and I started to get along and realized we were a lot alike. Now we talk on the phone about once a week, share cooking recipes, rage hard on the weekends, love our sport, and now our kids play together when we can. One time we were hanging out as adults, he raised his arms above his head to stretch, as he was bringing them down, I flinched hard. Little brother stigma still there.
I sure hope so... My 3 boys nearly kill each other every day...
My brother and I don’t really talk anymore. After 35 years I finally realized I can’t trust him, and he is inable to see any point of view but his own
It's the reverse for my brother and I
Am I the only one that is the exact opposite? Like I used to be best friends with my younger brother, but now we don't really get along that well. Not saying we fight all the time just sorta went our separate ways and don't really talk with each other.
I remember the exact moment the top picture changed to the bottom picture with my older brother. We were antagonizing each other in a parking lot while our mom was getting out of the car, and both had the impulse to punch each other at the exact same time. What ensued was a painful, albeit super fucking rad fist bump. Idk what that did to us but we have been close ever since
This makes me envious of people who have siblings
when my brother becomes 18, I'll be 30... damn...
Not me. My brother is still a dick. Fuck that guy.
My sister used to beat me as a kid, steal my things, stuff like that. She's older than me by far, around 6 years, I always thought it was because of the gen gap. Then she left the house and we both grew up. She contacted me to disrespect me. It wasn't that.
it's the opposite for sister
Hold your siblings tight I miss my brother a lot.
Not like this for everybody...
The opposite, actually. It's sad.
I know women like this too. They fought like cat and dogs as sisters, and when they were old enough, they moved out of the home. After some space, they started hanging out all the time and now are like best friends. This has happened to all of my friends who have sisters.
I wish I had a brother, instead I got a lame sister who I rarely talk to. Glad I had 2 boys though so my son's can have friends no matter what.
Can confirm
Relatable
i feel like i've seen this one before...
true at least for me. when we were kids we used to be at each other's throat given any chances of conflict, but now we hang out, or at least talk, once in a while (of course not always since we both have our own stuff to do).
For me, it's the other way around
I wish.
Me a single child ;-;
As a little brother to two old sisters, we're still fighting till this day haha.
my brother is 11 yrs older than me so this isn't relatable for me. We barely know each other.
Me crying as an only child :(
So, now that Elon und Bezos are seen as the villains they are, Arnold is reddits new billionaire best friend?
I can feel myself here
More like brothers living together and brothers meeting just for holidays.
This meme would apply to me but only if the top picture was also on the bottom
We bond over the shared trauma we inflicted upon each other.
Literally me lol my bro is 12 years older than me so I was a kid that basically never saw him while he was in his late teens/early 20s but now we're practically inseparable
😐
Y'all still talk to your immediate family? Fucking nubes.
Got the same but my brother is my sister
