My dad broke up with his girlfriend, and was telling me this plan about fucking with her disability benefits, because she had gone for plastic surgery or some shit. He found this out from stalking her call logs.

I remember just pacing back and forward in my apartment trying to reason with him on the phone. "Dad, you can't do this kind of stuff.."

I talked him down, told him I loved him, and will always love him.

I don't know if it was the next day, but the next time we spoke on the phone he went right back into the same mindset. I couldn't handle it. Sometime after the call I sent a pretty harsh message that I didn't want to be involved with him. Haven't spoken to him since.

Didn't the Prophet Muhammad like... fuck a 12 year old?

Oh I completely understand, that's why I made the responsible choice to sterilize myself.

So I don't know or care enough to go trying to understand and quote books, but here's a shia forum full of people refering to age 9 sexual maturity for girls.

me not knowing how to bring up bad news

I picked up a sport this year. People are surprisingly friendly.

I get the impression Google is trying to transition Maps into a social media platform.

From what I've seen people use this as an argument for censorship. Personally I believe in proportional responses.

Someone call the cops people are expressing opinions

While consummating marriage with Aisha is indefensible, it is also on bar with religions and historical realities.

Why call it indefensible, and then go onto defend it?

So did he actually groom them? Because the way this is written it sounds like he asked them their age, and then waited for them to be legal, which is creepy, but I wouldn't call it grooming.

Spoken like someone that's never seen a woman's restroom.

In the CNN article I read they say musk was specifically asked to expand the network for the operation. It seems like a weird spin.

I appreciate the fuck out of Hexbear. Over the past few years I've seen a massive ideological shift in a bunch of communities I use to enjoy. Like feminist communities shifted from egalitarian/humanist perspectives towards more bigioted attitudes, people stopped caring about confronting their own biases, and instead try to justify them, because "the patriarchy". I've encountered these people in real life. I once got in an argument with another nonbinary with them telling me "You need to understand the world sees you as a white male".

I see people getting called white supremace for calling out racism.

Sorry I know this is a ramble, still processing.

Anyways, now that I see the fingerprints of Marxism I can just call it out.

Being super cuddly/handsy. I'm super affectionate, and I've had a couple of partners call me a perv because of it, which causes me to shut down 😅

I hate this "You need to understand and tolerate where their bigiotry is coming from" bullshit. How about no?

In the past she was Islamophobic. Now that she's Muslim she's projecting hate onto white people? Seems like she's just a bigot.

I don't care enough to remember the details, but the protest caused a hit to Reddit's advertising.

My personal expectation is Lemmy is going to pull more of the nerd crowd, and it'll end up a better place for questions, but we'll see.

I really just prefer genuine content personally. We don't need to astroturf the site.

This is such bullshit. It doesn't cost millions of dollars to add new plumbing, HVAC, and interior walls.

And people can criticize that choice.
