If I were the prof, I’d own it and every class there after I would have “Professor whats his n*ts” (because somebody would get offended) on the board. I wouldn’t call the student out at all. And I wouldn’t say anything about it.

Insane!

You could say, balls of steel.

~Thank you. I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.~

That was me two years ago (and some change) when I was still married. My ex wife was the one to pull the trigger, and it was the best thing she could have done for the both of us (and our kids).

I was mad at her for a while. It was also terrifying having to move out and start over by myself, with no friends, and being a single father every other week. But I am sitting here in my house, hanging out after coming home from the gym, and simply enjoying the quiet time I have.

Yeah, I do miss having a relationship. It would be nice if I had friends too (I lost those in the divorce). But, it’s also nice to not have anybody but myself to answer to sometimes. And if I don’t do the dishes or take out the trash, there’s nobody there to give me attitude about it; it still gets done, but on my schedule and my terms.

All of that to say that if you’re genuinely not happy, and you feel there is nothing left to fight for, maybe leaving is not the worst thing you can do; it’s scary as fuck, but not that bad in the long run. Save your money, make your plans, and be open and honest with your partner when the time comes.

Clark Kent was the disguise.

I’m thinking more than that. They too are simple pawns.

It’s a genuine conspiracy theory, but I sometimes feel like there is some overarching cabal that controls both sides (regardless of country of origin), so as to get both sides to concede their singular will.

They may have one or two of the same goals (money, superiority complex, etc), but there is one side that is not actively not trying to bring about the fourth reich.

~Hint: The “lesser of two evils” are the dems, and not voting for them because they’re not perfect is (and I don’t usually go to this extreme) the most stupid and asinine argument any idiot could come up with.~

^In fact, dare I say, that the whole “both sides” argument is an argument created and propagated by the alt-right simply to sow discord among everyone else. The proverbial straw man fallacy, if you will.^

You don’t have to be a good person to do something good.

Sigh.

~Fuck cancer. Right in the hand!~

Considering what “society” has been doing to kids, I don’t blame them for not sticking their necks out anymore.

I wanted to take a moment to offer a different perspective. It sounds like your friend is disassociating. That doesn’t make him a bad dad. It just means he might be dealing with things that he is trying to protect himself from on an emotional level. I won’t try to conjecture what they are, because I don’t know him nor do I know his situation. And if you’re willing to take my advice, I’d suggest giving him the benefit of the doubt and just being there for him; whatever that may look like. You might even try to ask him about it (but be willing to accept that if there is something going on, he may not be ready or willing to talk about it).

Good luck to your friend.

My conspiracy theory is that AI is already running our tech companies, and that’s why everyone and their brother is pushing hard for AI integration, despite everyone knowing AI is nowhere near ready for public consumption.

What? Someone on the internet trying to ragebait people with misinformation?

I’m shocked. Shocked I say. 😉

Mac update: …

It downloads in the background, and sends you a toast notification that it’s ready to install. It gives you the option of restarting “Now”, or it’ll do it “Later Tonight” when it determines you’re not using your computer.

Yes, Vic Fontaine was a regular occurrence. He was not your typical program either, but because of that they let his program run all the time.

You seem to have this bad habit of putting words in other people’s mouths. I never said it was impossible. I just said I cannot. There are reasons; they are personal, and very important to me.

No, you said I could move; to which, no I cannot.

It’s never that easy, for a multitude of reasons.
