No worries, it happens. She’s a good person at her core, but let’s just say she was rarely “mother of the year” material - so we were never all that close. In some ways it’s excusable (single mother challenges & all that), but there were definitely other aspects that could and should have been… better.
Now I’ll sit with her for an hour and she’ll ask the same questions around five times in that time span - conversations don’t get very deep. There are many questions I had over the years that for whatever reason she just would not answer or address in any way, so I was hoping it was a “she’s just not ready yet” thing & I’d find out eventually. I’ve had to hang up hopes of that ever happening now. sigh

It’s a shame she’s losing her marbles & can’t remember shit, or I’d confirm that with her. It’d make me feel so much better about myself.

You don’t believe in God, so you don’t believe in things being objectively valid or not,
To borrow from Money Python: “Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please.”

You would have preferred being uninformed? Yeah her methods and timing might not have been the best, but take it from someone who knows - you were better off.

Enjoyable sex is enjoyable sex, regardless of the number, type, or genders the participants choose to include. As long as everybody involved wants it to happen that way, what business is it of anybody else’s? Everyone has their personal preferences in a multitude of areas, and sex is just one of them. If you want your preferences to be considered valid and acceptable, then you must allow others to have the same rights.

If I was the result of that, I’d be feeling seriously insulted.

Enjoy your innocence while you can because you’re surrounded, I’m afraid.

“5-stars, mine came with an official statement from the company saying Hitler did nothing wrong.”
You’d think they’d at least condemn him for not fighting until the bitter end.

What are the odds that a significant portion of Lemmy/Piefed users weren’t at one time exactly that? I figure that number’s gotta be pretty low.
- Comment on How do i stop the android system from using all my free space? 1 week ago:
It’s because Android is designed to run every goddamned app you have installed just on the off chance it needs to phone home and/or gets a notification. You can’t keep apps installed that you only use once every few months or something, or they’ll be run in the background without notice, too.
Every app gets run, then swapped out to cache files (where all your space is going) because it makes Android seem “faster” as the initialization routines of the app are already done - all it needs to do is bring the cache files back into active RAM and it’s ready to use. Nice if you actually USE all those apps constantly, but if you have a large number of apps installed while only using a small subset of them regularly then it just results in wasted storage space, CPU cycles, battery power, etc
There are a number of apps that will “freeze” most other apps to try to prevent them from running, but it doesn’t always work (I’m not an expert, so I’m not going to try to explain why as I’ll probably get some details wrong). Nonetheless, they are helpful enough with most to be worth using, IMHO. I personally use “Hail” with “Shizuku” (for the elevated privileges necessary). Both are available on F-Droid.

I heard that’s how abortions are done in red states now - just gotta get 'er done solo.

This one’s not so brainy, but considering the character it was addressed to it was enough - that being one of my favorite lines from the show Firefly: “Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.”

I’m aware. It was a joke implying he had… personal knowledge/experience.

I’m afraid to ask how you know she’s still able to get… moist enough to do that at her age.
- Comment on Your grandma's mine 1 week ago:
If you rub it, does she come out and grant you wishes? 'Cause that’s the only way this makes sense. Otherwise, with logic like this, I can’t blame him.

All that melting permafrost is revealing places that haven’t been used for sex in a very long time - practically Virgin territory, if you will, and we all know how the control freaks love ruining virgins.

What’s the range allowed? There are plenty of places with minimums, but many have such a wide window that they may as well not bother.

It mentions & includes a link to the NotebookCheck site as the source. It’s certainly NOT an unreliable site.
- Comment on Void Phone VX1 is Linux phone with enterprise management features 3 weeks ago:
I understand all that, but there’s no reason for that to require a subscription. A reasonable per-use fee seems like it should be an alternative option. Even if the company doesn’t want to set up those abilities on each phone themselves (which seems odd to me considering how automated that process can be made - when provisioning the phone, pop it on a USB stand, fire up a script, and walk away while it completes), those events can’t be happening with such frequency that a subscription makes sense for anything but a larger company with a high turnover rate - one that implies said company possibly has bigger problems.
- Comment on Void Phone VX1 is Linux phone with enterprise management features 3 weeks ago:
Those features aren’t free though – according to a note on the Void Phone website, “basic MDM costs are $2.50 per phone/month.”
At the 100pc minimum that’s a guaranteed extra $250/mo cost. I know that’s relatively cheap in enterprise terms, but what a racket for something that’s mostly going to be “set it & forget it.”
