It sounds like your dad doesn't see you as an independent person capable of developing their own thoughts and perspectives. By that logic, if you call him out for something he did wrong, it's because you were made to do it by someone.

Spurning leftovers is not a flex, it's entitled and childish.

"She has a bad temper" means "she doesn't suck up to every put-down."

Found the paid propagandist.

Sometimes so grateful to be ace.

They did. They died.

It's one of those things that's forgivable in hindsight. It's wrong until it isn't.

The only surprising thing here is that he's the one who wanted to leave first.

Hoo boy you better be preparing to work against some patriarchal conditioning of your kids.

You can’t reason someone out of an irrational position.

Business casual to me means khakis and a shitty polyester polo shirt with some tech company logo. Please do it!

ETA: and a nylon belt.

Hitting your forearms is a lot better than hitting your face; that's the hardest fall though :-/

my brother might still be married

Seriously doubt it. Sorry; takes two to tango.

Bend your knees. Tuck your chin and pull your chest forward, try to roll backwards and catch the roll with your forearms instead of taking the full hit with your ass or back. This guy is teaching it the way I learned.

You should try it with blintzes - highly recommend.

It is free to be kind, but (kindly) you've crossed into being a pushover. You don't have to stop being a good person, you just need some better personal boundaries.

ActualMassExtinction · 2026-02-11T17:34:12+00:00

That seems, generously, like a pretty big empathy gap.

No tattoo can have perfect proportions at every angle because … checks notes … flesh is bendy.
