i’ve been loudly condemning trump for well over 10 years, losing relationships with friends and family because of it. I didn’t “invite” shit, and i accept zero responsibility for the bullshit fascist…whatever the fuck you call this place now. this country is full of fucking racist brainwashed sheep and/or just plain gullible morons.

just wait until you’re old, and old people problems start cropping up

i would venture a guess that not voting against republican is 2nd place to that

colon cancer is through the roof, and they haven’t nailed down a specific cause, though it’s pretty strongly suggested that the garbage in the food supply, along with all the things in your comment, is contributing

cutting back on processed stuff (deli meat, tv dinners, cereal with 50 ingredients, etc) and fast food should be on everyone’s to-do list

“not ready for it” or even “just don’t get it” doesn’t change the fact that the game sucks sweaty donkey balls. i can’t think of a single thing that makes playing the thing an enjoyable experience.

maybe i don’t get it, but i also don’t care. got better things to do with my time

“deranged” and “scumbag” are completely outside the galaxy of terms strong enough to describe trump.

to anyone still buying the bullshit spewing from trump’s face anus every time he gapes it: you’re a gullible fucking moron, and you should be ashamed, fucking asshole

people who do care don’t have the power, numbers, tools, infrastructure or willingness

you’re right.

every day i’m more and more glad that i never had kids

this would have been considered a “scandal” 10 years ago, just like the pornstar hushmoney was. but today, no one cares.

the answer is of course corruption, and blackmail, and fascism.

but again–no one cares. so you could tattoo this on people’s face, and still nothing would happen

i’m getting to the point where if someone i don’t know that well starts talking to me about some bullshit on instagram, i immediately judge them

edit: it’s the same for FB tiktok twitter-- any of those bullshits. i don’t fucking care what you saw on fucking facebook, and since you brought it up, moving forward, i care less about anything you say than i would have before

yep

getting drunk before a shot seems to somewhat help for me, at least for injections, but that would be ill advised for surgery, since it thins the blood

if you were never bullied (either irl or online) as a kid, then it seems like something you could shrug off. but no, it’s pretty bad

i watched the video of them cutting that guy’s head off too, and i’m the opposite now. in fact i’m trying to figure out how to not faint and piss myself when i get a blood draw. i fucking hate it, it’s so stupid, i get tattoos and i’m fine, but if i even think about anything going past a certain depth to my insides (blood lab, surgery, injection), it triggers vasovagal syncope

when us old people were younger, preteens weren’t dying from social media “challenges” and/or cyber bullying

kids were dying for stupid reasons, as they always have, but none of those reasons were digital horrors

yea, weird to think i can’t really look at that kind of stuff anymore. even the charlie kirk murder–i watched the uncensored front row footage and said “ok, i never need to watch this, or anything like it ever again”

i remember going to ogrish.com and rotten.com and thinking “wow the internet is fucking great,” and trolling people on AIM chat before anyone called it “trolling.” then i grew up

you are correct in that 18 is technically “legal.” barely. my position is still that under 25 = kid, without the life experience to realize how fucking creepy it is for someone over 30 to pursue a teenager. again, subtract one year from each side (32 yr old dating 17 yr old), and your argument based solely on “legal age” no longer works.

ultimately OP does what she wants regardless, and it looks like the date is off, which makes me glad. as an old guy, i know guys, and i know the type of guy who actively goes after the youngest possible women. they are best avoided

fair enough. i’ll concede maybe the 33 year old dating the 18 year old isn’t necessarily a “pedo”

going on a date with someone 10 years older than her

18 vs 33 is NOT 10 years. why would you try to change OPs situation into a 10 year age gap, when it’s literally 15 years? and before you say “what’s the big deal,” try that argument with a 30 yr old dating a 15 yr old-- same age gap, only 3 years difference-- what’s the big deal?

look, i usually don’t chime in on violet’s posts with old people advice, but in this case she specifically asked for advice, and my advice to ANY woman under 25 is this-- be very wary of dudes 15 years older than you trying to get in your pants. take it or leave it

do you have kids? are you totally cool with your daughter going out with someone who’s closer to your age than to hers? the fact that so many people in here are cheering on this person over 30 hooking up with someone under 20 is really fucked up to me

Age per se is no flag

there’s a huge difference between a 30 yr old and 45 yr old dating, and a 30 yr old dating a 15 yr old-- even though the 15 year age gap is the same

a 33 year old trying to get with a 18 year old is sus af, and i’ll die on that hill
