I actually had a look in on /r/conservative today expecting glee but honestly it was full of good words (at least the most upvoted comments).

Similar method to previous poster but I’m guessing 979g.

Yeah fair call.

Yeah living with other people requires you to respect noise levels. It’s just basic courtesy. There are six in our house and we have an earliest time that the shower can be turned on for example (edit: it’s an electric shower and noisy AF). Of course exceptions have to be made.

If he’s not prepared to turn down the TV to a reasonable level that’s on him. He knows it’s upsetting you and is prepared to continue upsetting you. That’s really unhealthy and inconsiderate behaviour.

One thing that might help is getting him to use headphones with the TV. Most TVs these days have Bluetooth support. If I’m watching a movie late at night (common) I’ll always use headphones. Again it’s just common courtesy.

There is no such thing as being born bad. Six year olds have no idea the level of impact they’ll have with their actions. That’s why they can’t be prosecuted. They’re not capable of that level of understanding.

You need to get professional help letting go of this.

Yeah, this fits more or less where I am. My eldest is 27 and left home 5 years ago. He’s just out of a long term relationship around 6 months. He lives in a different country in central Europe and is living the life. Travels a lot, has a great group of friends spread all over the continent, great job that he really likes earning good money etc. I’m really happy for him and it does give me a sense of ease to see him at a point in his life where he’s thriving.

On the other hand I’d be very happy to see him in a loving relationship and / or owning property instead of paying rent. Snuggles are nice and rent is poverty tax (for the most part) but I’m conscious that owning a property ties him to a place and he’s not ready for that yet.

So…to answer OP…I’m not obsessed with it at all, but they’re nice things to see for your kids that kinda tick the box of “my job here is (mostly) done”.

She literally doesn’t give one fuck about due process. Setting the precedent of deliberate avoidance of due process to cement control is her goal.

I saw the video of the interaction and she is an utter ghoul. Just sidestepping the yes / no question again and again (more than ten times I would say) then trying to put blame on the guy asking the question all while refusing to even look at the picture.

That last bullet point is shocking to me. To be an English undergraduate I would have expected them to enter with very strong vocabulary and an innate desire to read / love of the language.

I had no trouble understanding it and thought it painted a really clear picture.

Just in the last minutes of season 2. Holy cow. It’s such a clear mirroring of today.

Poor Lester (and Buddy) Hunt :(

in which the AI called the husband a “spiral starchild” and “river walker.”

Jaysus. That is some feeding of a bad mental state.

Yeah I can see that 100%. Makes total sense.

Sightly similar but obviously different we always do handmade birthday cards instead of store bought.

Lawnchair may be what you’re after. It’s open source and I find it very lightweight. Based off the pixel launcher.

long press on home, select home settings, select burger dots top right, backup and restore are in there. Took me a while to find.

Yeah I believe so. Not sure why you’re being downvoted because non-professional ones done by your mate like that are easier to remove. I can’t remember if laser removal was a thing back then.

Ooooof.

In my late teens, maybe 20 I worked in a restaurant and got invited to a party after work in a very rough part of town. So rough that the taxi driver wouldn’t let us get out until we found the exact address (this would have been mid nineties so well before GPS nav was popular).

Anyway we get there. Folks are nice. Maybe ten in total plus the 4 of us from work. They’re rough around the edges but generally salt of the earth characters which I love so it’s all going well. Get chatting to one lad and he shows me his new tattoo on his forearm that his friend had done for him.

It was a palm tree on a tiny desert island with a dude sitting against the tree smoking a massive joint.

Now this monstrosity was one colour, all outlines, looked like it was done with a compass from your school pencil case and my 11 year old would have done a better job. It’s very difficult to describe just how shite it was.

Felt really sorry for the lad. He was definitely going to regret it if he didn’t already. Never forgot that tattoo though.

It’s Latin and as far as I can tell congratulating pope Benedict who was two popes ago. I guess the joke is that it’s internet explorer posting.

Welcome aboard!

Just wanted to re-thank you. On to season two and have already recommended this to two friends. Absolute cracker.

My response to this is usually “Do you have curtains?”

Very late edit: I have found it very effective. It causes pause for thought because everyone values privacy, they just find it hard to picture themselves needing it. Curtains.
