Excellent choice. I thought this was a fun movie, though I haven't seen it in over 30 years.

To hear it told on Bluesky, it's the better blocking tools and the culture of "we don't have to put up with these assholes."

I've been off Twitter for years and even before that I probably posted less than a half-dozen times per year. I mostly prefer subject-based social media (here) over identity-based, but I'm looking to surround myself with people who talk about something other than politics because the last Trump presidency I just couldn't handle the constant tide of horrors.

I just need somewhere to escape all that and if not, I'm going to be in a really mentally unhealthy place for the next four years.

I just bought Govee lights this year and put them up. It was a couple hundred dollars vs $4800 for professional permanent lights. I don't know how long they'll last, but I know I'm getting too old to be climbing on my roof.

Overall I like the lights, but I have nothing to compare them with. They've been up since just before Halloween.

The Supreme Court just publicly called for Congress to weigh in on who is responsible?

What is this, solicitation of bribes? Because these big companies are going to try to swing the vote with cash.

This is something else made so much worse by wealth inequality. The very wealthy have a vastly outsized influence on every aspect of the world. Being a billionaire, no matter how well-intentioned, is inherently a negative for humanity.

Edited with more info. Idk. In Michigan if you hit your wife, my understanding is the cops will prosecute you whether she agrees to file charges or not.

For the record we are both in our fifties.

A woman can't consent to being hit in my state. Or at least that was the common consensus when we were social about it.

I just looked it up and some random website says it's fine with consent so either the entire community was misinformed, something has changed, or that website was full of shit.

You will definitely get a lot back. They tax it like you make $8k every month.

Not knowing you, or your dad, or the situation at all makes it really hard to give specific advice. Do it somewhere private and don't set it up with the phrase "I have something to tell you" or anything like that. That just creates anxiety and no one will ever be able to say that for good news again without triggering him.

He might already suspect or even know. Or it could be a total shock. So private is best because his reaction could be intense.

Beyond that, buddy I just don't know. Depends a lot on the people. If you think it'll be a confrontation, don't tell him she's cheating, just present the evidence. I saw this, I heard that, I found this. Let him draw his own conclusions.

Widower-maker.

Always enjoy your posts!
