  • Ugh. I work in the public sector and let me tell you, there are SO many companies that send the most dogiest, scammiest looking emails telling you to follow a link, only for it to turn out to be perfectly legitimate.

    I honestly can see now why people end up falling for these things when even legitimate companies send emails looking just like phishing scammers

    The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.

    Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.

    Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It’s all of Win10’s worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it’s own bullshit and spyware on top




  • It’s certainly an odd situation to behold, and the thought of getting with someone twice my age makes me feel gross, but they’re both legally adults and appear to be happy with the arrangement, so I guess there isn’t all that much to do but wish her the best and get used to the new son-in-law.

    Having said that, 65 isn’t all that old for an OAP, so I hope for both their sakes that there is more to it than her being just his sugar baby - I can’t imagine decades of loveless marriage to be good for anyone.


  • It sounds like you are doing your best to connect with him (I’d have loved for my parents to take an interest in my hobbies back when I was a teen), but not all kids take the stresses of going through adolescence the same way.

    … And they’re very influenced by other kids, so if his friend circle puts emphasis on material things, it might be that he feels like he’s struggling to keep up with them or is actually feeling FOMO, and is taking that out on you.

    Either way, best thing you can do is to keep extending that olive branch to him. Perhaps try to see if there’s any other hobbies he has that you might be able to connect with him over?
