They look at you like that because they know, right now, you are young and feel invincible. And you practically are.

But they know that you won’t be forever. And they know that you are missing an opportunity to prepare for the second half of your life because you are living to the fullest now.

And they know that it’s your choice to make.

And can you believe that most young men today have never asked a girl out?

Exactly, if this really all ended now then we all practically got off easy. (Including the Iranian people compared to how bad it could get.)

Honestly, of all the bad possible outcomes of this war. Losing this way is the least bad.

If you think you are making other people uncomfortable then you should stop.

Ask your partner if they are okay with it.

If you aren’t comfortable asking your partner if they are okay with you flirting with other people, then it’s not okay.

To be clear, the US isn’t fighting for anything.

This is Trump’s war and his war alone.

Virtually no Americans actually wanted this war.

Americans honestly don’t even consider this our war.

This is Trump’s war. America didn’t lose this war. Trump lost Trump’s war.

I wish Iran would declare that they are going to continue to keep the straight closed until Trump himself personally travels to Iran and personally apologizes for his illegal war.

Did you really read my comment and not immediately understand that it wasn’t intended to stand up to strict literal scrutiny.

What could I have said that would have tipped you off that it was intended to be exaggeration?

It’s funny to me how on Lemmy no statement can be ridiculous enough on its own. Someone will always reply “That’s not true and doesn’t align with my personal experiences!”

Spanking is not about discipline. It’s about asserting authority. The intended message is “I’m in charge and I can and will hurt you if you don’t recognize and obey my authority.”

Oh. That’s a shame.

Anyway…

I wouldn’t mind if your drug dealer didn’t sell drugs to kids.

TSA the agency can be shut down. But the employees should be able to feed their kids.

No Day? Or no no kings day?

If, one day, it’s you facing charges for a very very bad accident, you are going to be really happy that courts aren’t a blood thirsty as you are.

Linux Community: It’s Free Software. You can do what you want!

Also Linux community: BUT NOT THAT!

You are going to get downvoted to hell on this platform, but you aren’t wrong. You aren’t alone though. There are at least two of us that can think rationally about this.

The anti-California age law reaction in tech-bro internet circles is really irrational.

Well, very possibly.

That’s actually a funny consequence I hadn’t thought of. A media company could go to a pirating site and then file a police report claiming neglect of child protections. That could really start to spiral quick…
