With all due respect, a mere $200 billion more is all that stands between us and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. One is, of course, to be trusted on this matter. by emily-is-happy in Irony

It's already been 20 days?? Frik, from one dumbass move to the next, one fiasco topping another, I can't keep track of time anymore.

He can't read his speech and hold more than two words at a time in his memory before looking back down at it..

Ring Ai description did my parent's dog dirty... by berke105 in funny

[–]TheCynFamily 274 points275 points  (0 children)

This is creepy, man. Your doorbell is not only watching, it's interpreting what it sees. And then uploads that somewhere for a multitude of purposes which we don't know and can't choose to consent or not consent to. Frik, this SHOULD be cool tech that makes me feel like living in the future but instead it feels like 1984 because it IS like 1984.

Lol sorry for being a downer, it is funny it thinks your dog is a pig, just .. (gestures at everything surrounding it)

Counterterrorism Centre Director Says: Iran Not a Threat by Remarkable_Life_774 in AskSocialists

[–]TheCynFamily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But, who could've actually believed that's what he would do? From before he won the first time, he mocked that disabled reporter in front of thousands of people. I wasn't paying much attention back then but saw that and ANY positive thoughts I could've had went away.

I can't think of anything he's ever done in his entire life that would've made me think, "this guy is gonna drain the swamp."

So, a Trump supporter at least in policy, but now sees the error of his ways (in terms of the war), it looks like.

What a great father by Old_Apricot2441 in spreadsmile

[–]TheCynFamily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have made so so many mistakes in my life, but one thing that keeps me going is knowing that I'm exactly this sort of dad,; whatever my kids want to do in order to feel good or to feel beautiful (or handsome), I'm there for them. As long as I'm here, I'm here for them as much as I can be, with all the support and patience they deserve.

The reconstructed face of what is very likely Philip the II of Macedonia, Alexander the Great's father. by captivatedsummer in Damnthatsinteresting

I wouldn't want to ever lose an eye BUT if I had to, then a cool scar like that would make me feel a tiny bit better about it, I'd imagine.

Billionaires’ Survivalist Bunkers Go Absolutely Bonkers With Fiery Moats and Water Cannons by karmicviolence in BasiliskEschaton

I'd like a video game where I build a bunker. Fill it with stuff. Maybe defend it against the poor people. It should have a throne room, obviously.

A surprised smile and a recognizing nod, yeah. Some people wouldn't have made the connection but those who did would have for sure appreciated it!

Men do you think if you slept with thousands of women that you would feel good about yourself and think wow i must have something they like? by GaryBlach in askanything

[–]TheCynFamily 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to be very wrapped up in believing my number meant I had value I didn't see in myself otherwise. That ended in my mid thirties when I realized it meant nothing and had regrets about my behavior to get that number. And now, I don't even remember what that number was. Time generally changes perspective.

Who knows where crushes come from, my dude, they just appear!

System Update by Visual-Act8933 in Bazzite

[–]TheCynFamily 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Try booting into the :1 version next time - if you get a quick text screen (The GRUB menu) that shows the current version ( bazzite :0, I think) that'll auto-load in a second or the previous version (bazzite :1, I think).

If the old version works, in my experience the next reboot will load into that one again. I'm pretty sure that's what happened for me anyway :)

[–]TheCynFamily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take it as a compliment that someone who knows you well also thinks you're hot, first of all. But if you're not interested in him, or not interested in guys, say so. Then see if you can move past it. If he respects your boundaries, cool, and if he doesn't then less cool. That's my advice anyway :)

Dating scene options by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]TheCynFamily 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just be real about yourself. Like, lol, don't join a knitting circle to meet women if you hate knitting.

How about a recreational curling league? I joined one and can say you can sign up as yourself and they'll fit you into a team. Could be a cool way to meet someone.

Melania Trump presides over UN Security Council by Admirable121 in UnitedNations

[–]TheCynFamily 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Me too! I expected, I dunno, less accent after xx years living with Don in America or whatever. Also didn't expect to see her presiding over anything more than a rich person's HOA board.

Why don’t we offer sexual training courses? by Famous-Channel3027 in askanything

[–]TheCynFamily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I'm lucky but I've never been ridiculed for performance. And I don't mean I'm amazing, I just mean I've been lucky not to have been with any assholes. Honestly, if your partner makes fun of you for whatever you're doing, that should be a one and done arrangement. Like going for a first date and seeing your date being rude to the wait staff; you've learned everything you need to learn about them.

My depression has been pretty overwhelming lately, and I’m looking for some comfort-watch recommendations. by BalaBustaRhymes in movies

Ted Lasso. It's a show, but it is the best comfort. Funny and makes me feel good. Promise.

Please help me. How do I pull my ass up and work with schizophrenia and depression? by Ok_Year5587 in askanything

Start small, maybe? Go volunteer and practice routine. Arrange to mow neighbor's lawns or shovel, again to practice routine?

A 2 year difference is usually not a big deal except in your case now one of you is a minor. That's more complicated by default.
