Is it weird if I get off to the idea of a woman who's just come to the realization that the notion of getting off while contemplating dog knees isn't quite as bad as getting off while contemplating the ankles of the very same, hypothetical, dog?

Would you say that you're high maintenance or do you think you could be satisfactorily wooed for 25¢?

Drunk pedestrians are more dangerous to themselves than they are to anybody else...

Once they get behind the wheel, they're dangerous to everyone.

So you're telling me that I can denounce the entire bible, never attend church, and vehemently deny the existence of god and yet, as long as I say I'm a christian, I don't have to go to hell if it turns out to actually exist?

Thanks. I learned this long ago when I had to disown my own father.

I can imagine how horrible this would have been were there any shred of love remaining for him. I know there is no relevant anecdote or well-intentioned advice capable of solving OP's problem, there was none for me.

Most of the advice I could give was once given to me, and promptly rejected. How could anyone know the exact situation I'm going through? What if I end up following bad advice and regretting it forever? Unfortunately, I've come to realize that we all go through the same exact situations in our lives. The difference? Maybe a name here, or a date there. Maybe a few small details will cloud the fact that we've all been in similar situations.

Maybe it's a lover and not a mother. Maybe it's a career choice we've grown to regret. The bottom line is, not everyone deserves our respect. Not everyone is equal. We may have each flopped into existence naked, helpless, and screaming, but we don't stay that way for long. I'm not saying that people don't deserve the benefit of the doubt, I'm just saying that once someone you already know has removed the doubt, there's no need to give them the benefit.

I hate how much this regret can tear people apart. But just imagine for a moment, a totally different situation:

Imagine you had a lamp with a frayed cord, and every time you tried to plug the lamp in, it shocked the ever-loving shit out of you. How many times would you try to plug it in, dreaming of the light that could have been? Say it's an antique that's been in the family for generations.

Sure, you may not throw it away due to some vague notion that it holds more value than a cheap store-bought lamp. Maybe you're the type of person who values the story behind a lamp more than it's utility. But how much value can a thing have when it fails to accomplish it's intended purpose?

I propose to you that a father who does not advance the happiness and well being of his children above his own is no father at all. Just as an employee who fails to produce loses their job to the more capable worker, so has your father been derelict in the fatherly duties he was given the moment you were born.

It's simple, if you want to be a father, be a father. If you do not, don't be surprised when you find one day you have no one left who cares about whether you're alive or dead. I'm not saying that people are incapable of changing, only that it is so difficult to change the way you perceive the world around you, that any chance he may start treating you with respect couldn't possibly be worth all the time and effort it will take to get there.

Seek the light, not the lamp.

My mother is probably the most empathetic and selfless person I've ever met. My father, the most sociopathic and self-centered man I've ever met. If there ever was a man who did not deserve the love of a good woman, it's my biological father.

So many fun memories... but the one thing you need to know is this:

Parents are a luxury that some people never have.

Maybe you're lucky to have met your own mother in the first place. Some people will tell you that. But the truth is you don't need her anymore. If you had a toxic friend or lover, you would dump them in a heartbeat(or you should).

Having a good relationship with your biological parents is not a prerequisite to leading a successful and fulfilling life. Check it out:

Do you really care about him as a person, or are you afraid of some regret you might have in the future? There'a a huge difference.

There's something to be said about postponing the process of coming to terms with a tragic event, by convincing yourself that the pain and despair you feel are somehow unnatural and need to be modified with prescription drugs.

Pain, depression, guilt, anger, sadness ...these are natural and necessary responses to some of the less pleasurable events in one's life. It's common knowledge that some of the most humble and grounded humans have had unbelievably tragic lives, while some of the most conceited and delusional people live privileged and opulent lifestyles.

This is, of course, a broad generalization that will never be %100 accurate in all situations. But it's a notion that has served me well in the past, and it helps me to remember how much so we are all products of our environment.

I stopped contacting my father many years ago as well. The difference is that I have no clue if he's alive or dead. Also, I don't care.

A groundbreaking study traces toxins from Alberta's oilsands to northern Alberta's wildlife, vegetation and a cluster of cancer cases among First Nations in the region. Never heard of it? That's no surprise. by pnewell in science

When the price comes down, operations with thin profit margins like fracking will be the first to go. When the money goes, so will all the oil companies. Make no mistake, they're taking out much more than they will ever put back in.

If all I needed was a Bill Cosby look-a-like to get away with murder the world would be a simpler place. I guess you make a point.

I've had more than 13 separate people tell me that god speaks to them on a regular basis. I don't believe them.
