Dyskolos

You probably could if you’d see this as a great buisiness-idea. Save thousand moneyz for only givimg up one life you don’t even know. To many this obviously seems great.

Cool to know. Would’ve absolutely not thought there’s still a need of steno at all. Haven’t consumed any TV in the last 3 decades, so i might be really off the pulse of time :-)

I can just assume it was about money. Who else would marry such a disgusting human being? …if she was not as equally disgusting though. I really don’t know and not sure I do want to.

I’m glad he was offed. People like that simply don’t deserve to live. If you despise human life, why should yours be respected at all?

This coming from a non-american, anti-religious misanthropist.

Insurance is a gamble with money. Noone cares. Health-insurance is a gamble with life. If you work for Hitler, you are Hitler. At least the nazis back then could blame it on cluelessness and not knowing. You can’t. If you meant THIS kind of insurance.

Upset? Maybe his wife or kids. If someone that disgustingly anti-social is even capable of faking a marriage and being a “father”.

Live tv captioning is a thing? Tho i get the hobbyist thing, just didn’t think of that.

They ARE superheroes to me. But they don’t land so graciously. But anyhow 😍

This is still a thing? Where? Why?

Their point was that the kid’s brain isn’t well enough adjusted to understand the ramifications of a permanent non-contact-decision. While part 1 isn’t wrong, part 2 is so horribly off, even to the point of someone seemingly fearing their toy might be leaving. Not saying pedo, but either that, silly conclusion or a total lack of empathy.

And nah, i rarely block nor ignore. Most people fight for their point to the death, even if they already know it’s bonkers. Even “science”-people who totally shouldn’t, as it’s never a personal fight in science. And trying to indicate some kind of authority on the topic is fine too. I did it myself. Those who really have, know the difference of stating and posing it.

We sure did. But please, do continue your “studies”, you never know when it might come in handy.

Facts? So heavily abused children should stay with their abusers forever because their "brain is not well-enough to make any lifelong decisions hence they are not… "? This is the most absurd thing I’ve heard in a while. Not saying their brain isn’t perfectly well adjusted. No shit sherlock, that’s old news. Just the conclusion is… Very questionable. The ramifications of a no-contact-decision is the faint possibility of starting a therapy and get slightly better.

Anyone abused in whatever way, no matter how mature their brain is, should leave the abusive environment (at the very least. And get help at the acceptable best) . Isn’t that like the most basic survival-tactic? Avoid any kind of harm at all costs however possible.

True. Those cloud-services allow for mods. But still too laggy, too expensive, too much hassle. And in the end you own nothing again. Like car leasing 😑

But gf now is much cheaper, but therefore has those downsides. But yes. Just a pc somewhere else

Also with due respect, your opinion is wrong. I work with badly abused people, and those that CAN escape from toxicity at the earliest have it “best”. Some could never escape. There are 12yr old who have a forced maturity that you often don’t even find in 40+ olds. Which is not really a good thing.

Please, i don’t wanna sound condescending or so, but widen your horizon in that regard please.

As the possibility isn’t off the table (or else there’d be no post) and considering we know absolutely nothing about the why, it sure can’t hurt much more. Or maybe it can and the question was futile. It’s just a wild guess based on nearly no info. And as an optimist, i assume the least bad. Working with badly abused people i sure know the other side.

It’s an okay-ish solution for people who don’t wanna invest in a pricey pc or that just wanna game from their potato thinclient. No mods kills it for me personally.

You don’t owe them anything just because you share blood. That being said.

Without knowing the background: if it was not him you’re mad at, he might just want to have contact with his offspring. Nothing inherently bad. So why not? Can’t hurt. It’s not yes or no forever. Test what he REALLY wants and decide then? At least you can never blame yourself in the future for not trying, if you’re inclined to doing these things.

But if there is any toxicity at all, fuck it. Ground rule #1 in life: cut toxic people out. Period. Be it blood or stranger. Doesn’t matter. But you already did this long ago, so kudos for that.

If the partner is enjoying games, and especially the same games, it’s awesome. My wife isn’t as fanatic as i am, but has her own share of game-love. Couldn’t imagine a partner that wouldn’t at least get it either.

That makes sense. As someone who never saw the appeal in watching sports, this is probably the same league. But somehow it’s like watching porn when one isn’t in the mood for actual sex 😁

Never watched a stream, never really understood the motivation. But i also don’t consume social media (besides lemmy) or such and am generally anti-social, so that might be that. I would be infuriated if those people wouldn’t do what I would do. Also the chat is… Annoying.
