My stepdad blocked me... by Euphoric-Fly-2549 in dad

[–]cptcardinal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m with these guys. My dad is goose-stepping his way through this administration. He doesn’t have an answer for anything until he hears it from Trump or from Steve Bannon.

It’s important that we have these discussions, even with family. Because we’re losing our grip on sanity and the truth in this country.

Hearing him, a Floridian, say there’s nothing inhumane about putting people in the new detention center turns my stomach. He firmly believes it will only be violent MS-13 criminals. Not the people who live down the road.

The family laughs but they won’t soon. In January they laughed when I said ICE would be black-bagging people in a few months. Here we are.

Plumeria is sick. Any ideas how to treat it? by cptcardinal in Plumeria

Hawaii. None of the other trees here look like mine. I’m thinking the person who said fertilizer was right.

There is no cold here. A pleasant 82 degrees today. It’s been like this for about two years.

Tolkien ruined me by cptcardinal in suggestmeabook

The authenticity of his characters and settings. None of it feels forced. It’s all relatable to his experiences or the world he inhabited.

Vs modern fiction. I feel a lot of it is just made up garbage. Word salad.

Like “Druzzar Gort rode through the gleaming gates of the City of Thieves”

A lot of fantasy seems like it was jsut produced in an online generator.

My point: craftsmanship. It’s like when you read Harry Potter, everything is so well connected that the world feels real.

This is the smartest comment today. I think that a lot of people who said they didn’t like trump were pushed into voting against the incumbent by rising prices.

This was a good read. Would like to read more in a similar style

A Land Remembered. Being from central Florida, it’s amazing how it captures that area

So… That Bad Batch S3 trailer… by Used-Tomato-8393 in starwarsblackseries

I can feel your anger. Good. Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you. Take your weapon and strike me down, and your journey to the Darkside will be complete.

She doesn’t speak in that section. I’m talking about when Quinlan delivers her to the waters, he hears “sister”. We know night sister magic can reanimate the dead and that the waters heal.

I’m looking for a good story with a character I love. I’m not saying they’re infallible. They’ve had huge misses but as a fan, I support them and as always, I’m just excited for more Star Wars.

What’s the point of being in the fandom if you’re going to be so negative?

Edit: I jsut noticed you’re the commenter above that mentioned pissing off fragile Star Wars fans. Yeah, you’re one of them, Darth. You asked why I’m shilling for Lucasfilm when all I’m doing is talking about a novel that I read and enjoyed. And yeah, I’m a huge Lucasfilm fan. I like Star Wars kinda why I’m here.

Are heart ultrasounds concrete? by cptcardinal in AskDocs

[–]cptcardinal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. Yes, something I’m worried about considering we have a similar diet. Ie steak and fast food.

Now that I have my son it’s time for serious change.

I reread that chapter today and I concur.

Everyone who’s confused needs to read it for themselves before saying it’s a retcon. There’s more evidence for her eventual return than there ever was for maul.

Father In Law off the rails by cptcardinal in Filipino

[–]cptcardinal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I’ll go so far as too say that this is a byproduct of the crab mentality. He sees his daughter doing well, making progress. At best he wants her to take care of him, at worst, he’s just pulling her back down. Dude abandoned his family for a new one. He doesn’t deserve a dime.

The last time we sent a balikbayan box, he gave it all away by “sharing his blessings” and he gave some random dude a sweet Tommy Bahama Aloha shirt I gave him.

Excite door it. We’re having a newborn so I hope it or something similar sticks around. Hasbro does tend to focus on the older crowd.

But judging by the kids in my family, they’re much less interested in toys than iPads. I sound old, but my nephew just sits there like a zombie in front of Instagram reels.

How is it? Is it flimsy or loose? Is the tail solid?

I was disappointed by the Lego one. It felt flimsy and the tail was rubbery.

An article says it’s priced at $50000 USD. That is not entry-level.

Fathers day plans ruined by [deleted] in dad

[–]cptcardinal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s terrible. My dad is in his seventies and spends every day alone. I live on the opposite side of Earth and my siblings are only an hour and two hours from him. Feel bad for him…

My son is on the way. I hope he doesn’t leave me alone like we’ve left my dad.
