Or you wake up and there’s nothing there because that star died a thousand years ago and the light from the supernova hasn’t reached earth yet.

My girlfriend has a 15 year old daughter (I’m 49). I enjoy her company a lot. She’s a great kid. The thought of any kind of romantic or sexual relationship with her turns my stomach. It should also turn your dad’s stomach, and he shouldn’t be allowed to get away with “I enjoy her company”. But that’s just my opinion. I don’t know your family dynamics, and I know it’s easy to preach about what I think should be done from the outside.

Very tough spot to be in, and I have no advice beyond confrontation. I’m sorry you have to deal with this.

I can’t tell you why her parents would be okay with it, but I think you might want to ask your dad why he’s okay with it. A tough conversation, for sure, and I think we all kinda know the answer, but making him say it out loud might begin the process to put an end to it.

Holy shit man, so much. So so so much. Honestly I’m surprised I survived childhood.

We used to free climb cliffs. One of my step brothers took a pretty bad fall, about 60 feet down. He cartwheeled and banged against the cliff face, then landed in a sitting position. His right arm was torn open from armpit to elbow, and the bones were sticking out. Compound break. We had to walk him though about 2 miles of desert to get back to civilization and get help. He survived with no other major injuries, but that was a close one.

I used to go camping out in the desert by myself as a kid. From like 10 to 14 years old. I’d take a bow and arrows with me and just stay out there for a few days with my parents thinking I was spending a few days at a friends house. So much shit could’ve gone wrong, and sometimes it almost did.

Then there’s the normal kid shit like playing with fire and chemicals, almost blowing ourselves up or burning everything else down.

People wonder why I never had kids and all I can do is think about all the shit I got up to as a kid. I don’t need that kind of stress.

Dementia is a punishment worse than death. Just a shame he didn’t get it sooner. Lock him away for the rest of his life and forget he ever existed. Don’t even waste treatment on him. Just let the disease run its course.

It’s not something I can always tell “instantly”, but lack of curiosity. I can overlook a lot of flaws, being a very flawed person myself, but someone who isn’t curious about the world around them is an absolute waste of time, and no amount of physical beauty can make up for it.

I don’t even get the “obj” box on pc. But yeah, got it sorted. I appreciate everyone being so helpful.

Yeah. What’s wild is I didn’t even post the gif on Reddit. I just up voted it and got banned for promoting violence.

Huffman is such a fucking coward.

Ah, so image hosts don’t work then? I’ll try another.

AHA! With imgur, you gotta right click on the image and copy link, rather than just copying the link in the address bar!

Anyway, this is the image that got me perma-banned from Reddit.

Let’s try.

EDIT - Damn. Still nothing.

Cartoon Luigi gif.

Yeah I use lemmy from the lemm.ee instance on PC and almost never on mobile, so I have no idea what the issue is. Oh well.

Dang. I mostly use lemmy on PC and when I use the image upload button nothing happens. Oh well, not a biggie.

Hey I’m sorta new to lemmy. How are you posting gifs/images? It won’t let me do any such thing.

“It’s not insider trading if it’s all out in the open.”

It’s market manipulation. Still a crime, though we all know nothing will be done about it.

Martha Stewart for insider trading, Willie Nelson for tax evasion

Tommy Chong for bongs.

This is something more people need to understand. Military orders don’t come down as “invade that city and kill everyone”. They are a lot more specific and worded in such a way that they are almost mundane. This is by design.

One thing we used to have going for us was that most of the top brass hated Trump. They thought he was not only stupid, but also a threat to national security. That’s why Tuberville stalled all those appointments and promotions, and it’s why they are now shitcanning so many top leaders and replacing them with unqualified goons.

I’m 50 this year, which makes me a bit on the younger side of Gen X, and it weren’t no joy ride for us, either.

Boomers really robbed us all.

The Trump administration already interfered by getting Tate released from jail in Romania.

Trump himself directly interfered with the Romanian investigation, no question. That’s not the same thing as the DoJ interfering with the SDNY investigation. Two separate things.

I have more than enough probable cause to be suspicious here.

Suspicion is not evidence that the DoJ has done anything to interfere with the SDNY investigation. In fact, it looks more like Trump/Bondi are not interfering specifically because they don’t need to. Tate was gonna get popped by US law enforcement eventually, and was likely banking on Trump saving him. Since he’s a liability, all Trump has to do is nothing.
