I’ll be 100% honest with you, they’re probably more worried that you didn’t graduate high school while your beau is aiming to study law/medicine. Beyond that, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing plenty of perfectly normal, successful people whose parents-in-law hate them.

Please, trust me when I tell you that this is more about them than you, and that the sooner you stop granting their opinions value the better off you’ll be. You’re a businessman who loves and supports his parents, if they’re too stupid to understand that not everyone who’ll love their daughter is Dr. Sexy MD, they’re unlikely to pull their heads out of their asses anytime soon, and equally unlikely to be satisfied with their girl’s non-astronaut suitors. You work hard, run your own business, and love her, they should know better than to try and torpedo your relationship - many people can’t manage to do even one of the previous criteria. You need to make a decision about how much bullshit you’re willing to tolerate before moving forward, but I’d recommend you talk it over with her as she might have some unkind words for them, and it would probably go more smoothly if she’s the one who puts them in their place.

Unsure about “permanent ban”, but have only recreated a duplicate profile as a means to follow the same content without commenting or posting.

I hopped onto the Reddit train late in the game, partially because I was busy elsewhere, but also because of the kind of bullshit that I’d heard about which wound up being pretty accurate. Inter-subreddit feuding, mod omnipotence wielded without the sort of checks and balances or the discretion that it should be, etc. I’m a little annoyed, but not really all that put out given how little I valued it to begin with. It’s said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, but there wasn’t even so much power to be had, some Mods were perfectly reasonable while others were practically bursting at the seams to fuck with users and jerk themselves off about it. I’ll settle for news, steam giveaways and smut, thank-you-very-much.

Thanks, much appreciated.

And someone did replicate this

Can you recall who?

Thanks, much appreciated.

May I have some sauce, please?

I mean, I’m not going to spend time trying to duplicate their results, but it wouldn’t even slightly surprise me. Cops have been using ChatGPT to streamline their bullshit cop-lingo incident reports, to the extent that it’s caught the notice of lawyers and judges… 100% I believe that the dolts who shit out Trump’s tariff rates used it too.

Not so uncommon a situation as you might assume, there are plenty of shortstacks willing to work with the height discrepancy.

Don’t feel bad for being cute, you do you - which also may or may not be the dream of a woman 1+ ft. taller than you.

Big Beans? :3

*optimized XXXXL-size for simultaneous choking and finge- I mean, uh, nevermind.

As is tradition.

The Loosh Farm.

What is happening?

Stupid won. People all over the world are willingly shoveling shit into their faces as though they were trying to win a hotdog eating contest.

What the Hell was the name of the movie with Tom Cruise where the protagonist’s friend was dating a fucking hologram?

We’re a hair’s-breadth from that bullshit, and TBH I think that if falling in love with a computer program becomes the new defacto normal, I’m going to completely alienate myself by making fun of those wretched chodes non-stop.

The meat of the true issue right here. Journalism and investigative journalism aren’t just dead, their corpses has been feeding a palm tree like a pod of beached whales for decades. It’s a bizarre state of affairs to read news coverage and come out the other side less informed, without reading literal disinformation. It somehow seems so much worse that they’re not just off-target, but that they don’t even understand why or how they’re fucking it up.

Just a bad habit for data entry that stuck from use of the old IBM keyboards. Somehow it felt better to shift my attention to the right-hand side instead of the standard layout and extending my hand to the keyboard’s top just below the F-keys. Everything I needed was right there on the right 1/4 of the keyboard…

No, the Shift key has uses other than for standard alphabet keys.
