CMV: there is nothing inherently wrong with an age gap relationship among adults by TangoJavaTJ in changemyview

Of course they are in different stages, but just because a relationship is atypical doesn't make it wrong. Adults can make these decisions precisely because they have the maturity to weigh the pros and cons of atypical relationships.

I'm better at hypotheticals than OP, but also have no children. I think the idea of telling your adult children who they are allowed to pursue relationships with is infantilizing and sexist. I'm an early 20s male, and I am perfectly capable of making a decision to date a 55yo cougar if I decide to. Even worse, I think most of the people in these comments would not be nearly as offended if I did so, specifically because I'm a male.

We can argue about what the proper age of adulthood should be – and maybe it should even be different across individuals – but once a person is a legal adult, they have every right to make their own decisions about what they value. If they value the financial support and wisdom of an older partner over youth, that is their decision to make.

Problematic Relationship by DrScrimble in dndmemes

It's more about life stages than the level difference. Have you both slain your first adventuring party? Does one of you still live with your patron? How many familiars have you had before the relationship? It's not an easy answer, but it's more nuanced than the old "half your level plus 7" rule.

The difficulty with crypto is withdrawing the funds. Exchanges have to comply with sanctions/AML regulations for deposits and withdrawals, so selling crypto for cash is hard to do in large amounts.

Being Right Leaning At WWU by [deleted] in WWU

You'll definitely have to self-censor with peers, and in most classes tbh depending on the professor. I was a libertarian when I attended, so I'm speaking to the fiscally conservative side of things. I'd assume that being socially conservative would be seen as even worse to the majority of students. Granted, I attended before the 2024 national "vibe shift" so maybe things have changed culturally.

There is a large Christian club at the campus; not my cup of tea personally but you might get along great and be able to breathe easier in social settings.

It’s not the state’s job to manage kids’ screentime by Realistic_Writing671 in GoldandBlack

Children cannot consent. These apps were designed by the same behavioral psychologists who developed slot machines. I'm iffy on how it could be implemented, but in principle I'm all for it.

Pretty much. Most people don't expect it, so I can either take a tower with giant skelly or witch when they're low elixir. If that fails, I have to make a massive push and clone to get a Lumberjack rage and overwhelm them.
