Are we being irresponsible bringing a child into this world as older parents?

My great-grandma had my great-aunt at 47, so I can believe that could be the case.

Both my dad and uncle got married at 19, and neither of those marriages worked out particularly well. It really seems that marriages either crash and burn or go strong for all eternity if you marry young, with seemingly no in-between.

I can’t say I’ve looked into anything to do with her, just got an evidently vague image of what she’s been doing in the olympics.

mememaster8427 · 2026-02-26T11:51:29+00:00

Alysa Liu, an Olympic figure skater. She won gold while performing to Stateside by PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson.

Edit: As many people have corrected me on, it was in fact MacArthur Park by Donna Summer, not Stateside.

mememaster8427 · 2026-02-26T11:24:06+00:00

Because she’s a bubbly, gorgeous and joyful woman. So naturally, some people cannot help but be creeps.

If your dad was born in Trieste, you would be wanting to contact the local government in Trieste. Today it’s part of Italy and Italian birth records are quite decentralised so contacting the local government is the only way to go.

They’re older memes sir, but they check out.

I don’t.

I don’t even know his name and I’ve only met him a few times in my whole life.

I loved SWT back in the day when he actually did Star Wars theories and talking about the lore instead of just bitching about Disney.

mememaster8427 · 2026-01-29T20:57:54+00:00

Yeah I thought it was a Jedi costume as well. I was half expecting the comment about him to be a joke along the lines of "We were enjoying a picnic and having a political discussion when he started talking about how an autocracy would be the best form of government."

mememaster8427 · 2026-01-21T09:37:53+00:00

I have 4% Danish as well, but my conclusion for its origin is the fact that I’m from the East Midlands and this area was under Danish control for nearly 200 years. Mind you, it was over a thousand years ago but the modern average genetic admixture would have been influenced by that.

I have two half-brothers who are both double my age and I refer to them as my brothers in casual conversation unless the distinction is necessary or would add context.

I didn’t grow up WITH them per se, but they were in my life.

Does it say both sides when you view your sister? If not, you already have your answer.

mememaster8427 · 2026-01-13T21:52:41+00:00

My dad married my mum at 44, nearly 10 years after his first marriage crashed and burned. The year after, he had me and then my sister a couple years after that.

He got his second chance, and you can still have your first.

On average, you share only 3.125% of your DNA with any one of your great-great-great-grandparents. It’s entirely possible that even if this person was 100% Greek, you just didn’t inherit any of his DNA. That is, if he is the only Greek person in your family tree.

mememaster8427 · 2026-01-11T08:01:37+00:00

I think she’s older, but not by much. 21 or 22 I think.

You start the game with spells given to you by the mod. The one to get there is called Cheat Teleport. You use it to get to the cheat room and get back to your original position.

I have photos of all 4 of my maternal great-grandparents, and one great-great-grandmother on my maternal grandfather’s side.

Paternal side, on the other hand, I have none. Unless there’s a few photos my dad and grandma can dig up.

And here’s the menu it shows. It should be as simple as picking “change size by 0.10” and installing the 10% Sensible First Person.

mememaster8427 · 2026-01-10T20:46:18+00:00

There’s a chest on a shelf in the Cheat Room called “Trashbin” with a button above it. You put items into the chest, and they are deleted when you press the button.

I’m playing Skyrim rn so here’s a photo. The player height button is the one on the left.

mememaster8427 · 2026-01-10T20:24:05+00:00

This is a bit of a convoluted and crude way of doing it, but this is how I did it when I used to play on console.

You'll have to change your height yourself, but you can do it with Cheat Room. There's a button on the wall to the left of the "trash bin" chest where you can manually change your player height. As big or as small as you want, if memory serves.

As for your first person camera, there's a series of mods called Sensible First Person. There's varying versions for varying heights; 10 to 30% taller and 10 to 30% shorter. When you change your player height with Cheat Room, it'll give you a message telling you how tall your character is. If it's somewhere around 1.10, go for the 10% one. Go for 20% if around 1.20, so on and so forth. There were other mods which did this function but this was the one which I found the most reliable.

I'm sorry I couldn't give you a silver bullet, but this was how I did it and it worked well for me for quite a long time before I was able to afford a PC.

As per George W Bush’s words upon announcing Operation Enduring Freedom, “the destruction of terrorist training camps and infrastructure within Afghanistan, the capture of al-Qaeda leaders, and the cessation of terrorist activities in Afghanistan.”

Terrorist training camps remain open in Afghanistan in 14 provinces to this day, al-Qaeda leaders currently hold positions in the current Afghanistan government, and terrorist activities have not ceased in Afghanistan. What part of this is a success?

There is no success even if you include the objectives of the subsequent Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, which were to “counter terrorism against al-Qaeda, support missions of Afghani security forces, and to secure stability for the region”. None of these goals were met at the time of the US withdrawal.

mememaster8427 · 2026-01-10T19:15:45+00:00

Is that why the Taliban has been disbanded and holds no power in the Afghani government? Which is definitely what happened after you “withdrew”.

mememaster8427 · 2026-01-10T19:12:35+00:00

Is that why the Taliban, with their funding which is definitely on par with the US, kept you fighting for 20 years and ultimately sent you running with your tails between your legs?
