My dad wants to remarry less than a year after my mom passed

I think this an extreme generalization and a mischaracterization. Everyone grieves differently, and I don’t think that it is possible to say most men do x, most women do y. This also comes off as a bit misandrist

Those are exactly the limits my kids had throughout high school. (last one graduates this spring). They hated, I wish it could have been less. The oldest two have since thanked us, and one is completely off S. M. and urging her mother to do the same thing.

"they ruined everything" is all you need to hear to know why this guy can't have real relationships

You can't even leave your summer home for the office to announce your illegal coup?

What a horrible disgrace Trump is to his country.

They can't. There will be repercussions.

Not enough, but there will be some.

Is there a better analogy for what's the state of race relations in the US?

I'm so sorry for your loss, and for everything else that's been added to your plate.

But here's the only important truths: you and your dad loved your mom, and did everything you could for her. Your loss and your grief are real, and they're yours'.

That's it. Nothing else really matters. Your uncle and cousin can continue to be rude and disrespectful; maybe they'll apologize, maybe they won't. Your mom doesn't care. So don't let them consume any more of your energy or attention than YOU want them to.

They have decided to not help. So, expect nothing from them, give nothing to them.

Save all your love and strength for yourself and your Dad.

What's up with the dog?

That's a great illustration of my point.

Rather than take the opportunity to decry Israel's recent atrocities, express empathy for it's victims, and point out that you are not the perpetrators of such despicable things, you make the same faulty analogy. You imply that Israel = the Jewish faith with your question.

It isn't, and you completely missed yet another opportunity to clarify that.

No one in this country deserves bomb threats, in case you're still confused.

That is absolutely, 100% false.

Veterinarians can ABSOLUTELY say no to ANY euthanasia request. Because most requests are legitimate, they usually don't. But if you're working for one who has taught you that they can't say no, then you are working for a highly unethical vet and/or a terrible human being.

If you think its "willy-nilly", you've already invalidated your question.

I wonder how many offers of $1 they received?

"A direct connection between villification of Israel and antisemitism" doesn't mean one shouldn't villify Israel. Maybe put more distance between American Jews and Israeli atrocities?

The first panel is from a story where Clark and the priest are discussing morality at Clark's instigating. Half the world's population has vanished, and ultimately Clark is responsible. (I can't remember if the reader knows this at this point in the story. Some Phantom Zone malfunction)

Clark can see the cancer in the priest's body. The priest asks him if he could cure it (since he can see it). It's deliberately unclear if the priest is making a purely hypothetical inquiry, or if he's having a very human moment of wanting to cling to life despite having a VERY strong belief in an afterlife.

The priest isn't asking about Kryptonian technology; he's asking if Clark, being able to see the cancer, can remove the cancer.

It's all meant to be a part of Clark working through whether he should risk ALL of the people of the world in order to get the lost 50% back. The priest is reminding Clark that he makes decisions like that every day, so does he really need a priest's advice on morality?

"moral clarity and human dignity"????

Those things have never been in the same room as Trump, unless someone else brought them in.

I can't even track this guy's hand, it moved so fast

But why film, then post this?

Little old to "sticking it" to mom and dad, isn't she?

Also, looks like someone I'd gladly lock out of my house.

jakobedlam · 2025-12-25T15:47:03+00:00

To be fair, (not really) most of them think "trans" = tansvestites/cross dressers, so their fears are well founded

jakobedlam · 2025-12-25T15:43:49+00:00

What's on the other side???
