  • Hello.

    My nan passed with dementia a few years ago too. I felt for my dad at the time but after visiting her and her not recognising me, not recognising my dad, basically living and suffering for nothing, it was pretty neutral when she did die.

    I didn’t miss the old lady in a chair pointed at a TV that kept her conscious. I missed my nan who’d always sneak us biscuits (cookies) and insisted I was handsome from 0 years old to 30 years old. But she’d been gone a long time. I think my dad had hope she’d snap out of it. My hope is that I never see him like that. And that me losing things is my ADHD, not a precursor.


  • You’ve combined the two things together and said they are worse than one on its own. Duh.

    The original poster is talking about the vast majority of kids today who do in fact get a decent sex education and if they see/hear their parents going at it, the ‘trauma’ is in seeing them in an unexpected context, not thinking Dad is beating mom.




  • I’m starting to think you mostly don’t know what “assertion” means, which is the sort of literacy I expect from the illegal border-running English teachers I met in Cambodia.

    I am asking you for clarification, and have done twice now. What the fuck are you talking about? Even the guy from Florida who asserted he wouldn’t sleep with any prostitute over 45kg because they were “basically a man” would understand that question.



  • These are your assertions:

    • Americans with a passport are guaranteed a high paying job
    • Anericans with a passport don’t have to pay US income tax
    • Americans with a passport also don’t have to pay foreign income tax
    • Americans with a passport can move ‘instantly’ (even with some leeway for figurative language) to somewhere with 50-90% lower cost of living.

    Are you an illegal border-running English as a Second Language teacher in Cambodia by any chance?










  • Yes? I acknowledged that in my original comment.

    As it turns out, just declaring everything fine now doesn’t actually address the disparities of wealth and power when you have had much worse laws in place for much longer.

    Happy St Patrick’s Day! In Ireland we burned the mansion houses of English landlords after independence. I’m not going to judge non-white South Africans for enforcing a fucking minority shareholder policy.
