Oh buddy… that’s the new, less horrifying shock content.

Lets just say that glass jars are not appropriate anal toys, there’s a reason why glass sex toys are solid, and that some people have terrifying amounts of pain tolerance.

And this poster is an incredibly un-subtle recreation of the first frames of that horror. At least they added pants.

she actually likes him, money was the main reason but it wasn’t the only reason

You kind of buried the lede here by not including this info in the main post.

Sounds like your daughter is just being honest. Honest, open communication is important for a successful relationship. There’s all sorts of reasons for sparking the initial interest/attraction, but what is important is that the relationship has more bones than the initial spark, which it sounds like it probably does.

My wife caught my eye because she literally caught my eye. That doesn’t mean I’m only with her for her looks just because that was the initial reason for my interest.

As others have said, the main concern here is that she needs to ensure that she has her own financial security separate from him so she is not trapped or up shit creek if his finances go away for any reason.

Beyond that, the age difference can affect power dynamics and expectations within the relationship. That’s less your business, more between her and him. It takes a lot of open discussion and willingness to compromise and work with each other.

My wife is somewhere around 15 years older than me. We started dating when I was past college but younger than 25. Just barely within the half plus seven window. We have differing opinions on acceptable levels of cleanliness/organization, and how household chores are to be split up. It also doesn’t help that I didn’t have nearly as long of a time living on my own before moving in with her. But with a lot of discussion and patience on both sides we make it work.

Apparently the match was also delayed due to some medical issue Tyson had recently where he was seen coughing up blood during a plane flight.

And I’ve heard that his knee was in a brace pre-fight.

Oh neat! I seem to remember some of the blob monster tech being found a long time ago, I think it was datamined from another Valve game or something.

Nice to see it officially aknowledged and some real footage.

That’s effectively why Microsoft’s plan to restart Three Mile Island is stalled out. They want it to be paid by taxpayer dollars despite (as far as I know) having no plans to provide the generated electricity to taxpayers.

Outside of the original Metal Gear 1 and 2, I’m not sure what other notable games are on the MSX. That said, more cores are never a bad thing. I just wish the price for the Analogue Pocket would come down.

Is it islamophobic to point out that their holy prophet had a bride that is widely believed to have been between six and nine years old when they married, and to have been nine years old when the marriage was consumated?

I get that isn’t explicitly encouraging it, but I’ve never heard of any context that in any way justifies their prophet having sex with a nine year old (not that any possibly could).

Fair enough, but I honestly find it ghoulish regardless of the surrounding terminology.

There are plenty of worse ways for people in good health to make money, and I understand the desire to improve one’s personal health and prolong life (assuming you have one you enjoy), but there’s just something I find deeply unsettling and intensely objectionable about it all.

Especially when there’s all these “adrenochrome” and “vampire” crazy conspiracies giving them air cover so to speak.

Edit: I think what bothers me is that if it does work, it’s restricted to the elite, and if it doesn’t then we’re negatively impacting the donor’s health for no reason.

You didn’t specifically account for the edge case I personally identify with, which means you’re just the absolute worst!

I only skim read your comment and missed the context, so now I’m going to attack a strawman you didn’t say!

What frustrates me is that it’s not 100% insane, just 95%. There are Silicon Valley CEOs and others that regularly get transfusions of blood from younger, healthier people as a means of improving their own health. The New Yorker wrote about this and some other crazy life extension stuff happening in the Silicon Valley in 2017.

So no tortured babies or adrenochrome, but we do quite literally have people taking blood from the young in an attempt to extend their own lives.

Most people on Lemmy prefer Mastodon, as it’s not run by a corporation, and is federated like Lemmy. It’s also built off the same underlying protocol, meaning it’s interoperable with lemmy.

BlueSky is decentralized. It is more decentralized than this platform.

Could you please elaborate on this, or point me to where I could read up more on this? It’s the first time I’ve seen this claim and would like to know more.

Fuck everything about that. A family emergency is an emergency. This is only within the ballpark of reasonable if you don’g have the time off to spend and need to have the hours in.

Apologies if you’ve heard this before:

Something useful to remind yourself is that if you fail to do something you agreed to do, that’s you failing.

If your boss can’t find someone to do something they need done outside of normal hours, that’s them failing.

Likewise if you tell them you can’t get something done because you’re only one person, it’s their responsibility to fix that, not your responsibility to bridge the gap. If it was truly so important to get done, they would have more hands to get it done. Otherwise they’re just blowing smoke and it can wait a day/weekend/week/until you actually have time.

I’ve seen someone suggest wildmagic wands for a one shot.

Just because something can swim doesn’t make it a fish.

Since OP was too lazy to take the 5 seconds to crop:

Again. They rebranded for these remasters already, lol.

There’s a decent amount of evidence that they weren’t given the time they needed by Rockstar, that they intentionally shipped it out with a shit ton of behind the scenes files in an attempt to assist modders (at the very least it was shoved out the door so fast they didn’t have time to clean the files out of the release directory, holy shit), and members of the studio have repeatedly and consistently reported that they were not permitted by Rockstar to release many bug fixes after the remasters released.

Rockstar holds the biggest blame for this one.
