TV software is fucking abysmal. Its laggy, full of bloat and as you point out, their wifi capabilities are shit. I even have the connection/speed issue right now with one of my older TVs.

I fail to see how sharing memes is a bad thing. Lemmy is a great community, its leagues better than what Reddit was, even in its heyday, and certainly better than the shit-buffet it has become.

While OC is great, it’s really tough to make, especially at the frequency needed to provide new content and keep people interested. Further, 90% (or something) of people on here lurk, with the remaining 10% split between commentators and posters.

Don’t like it? Vote with your feet.

So that’s the reason as guys age we end up hairer on our bodies and end up walking around like bald gorillas.

Wheel of time movies or TV show THE RIGHT FUCKING WAY

Depends on how strongly you value your relationship with your brother. He may be a fuckwaffle, but he is your fuckwaffle. It’s big of you setting your differences aside. If you don’t go, and he means a lot to you outside of his political views, then you might regret not going. If you don’t really care for him and political ideology is more important then dont go. I think not going is kind of crossing the Rubicon, but I don’t know the situation part from your details

Honestly, it makes more sense - what am I, a mid-level scientist, going to bring to that corporate atmosphere? You’re going to ask me to brainstorm in a meeting with an Executive VP? Yeah. Fucking. Right.

You give me work, I do the work. Yes I might need to ask a question, but that’s uncommon and I can just teams for that.

The seniors execs? That makes sense. They need to all be on the same page, and talking to each other. Collaborating etc.

Dad was drunk, I suspect

I lived through this one, as a kid. It sucks all around. I’m now older than my parents when they split, and have an assload of insight into the matter. I carefully watched the whole thing unfold over 25 years, before I was out of the ordeal, living on my own, and away from watching the two people I cared about most be nothing but complete shitbags to one another.

They’re happy now, why can’t you also be happy with them?

Oh how wonderful, maybe at one point they can sit around the campfire, eat smores, and sing kumbaya

There is no way you should do this. Not only are you clearly having reservations to begin with, but you need to keep your dignity intact, too. The whole affair is just going to be rubbed in your face. You deserve better than that.

While your ex may be coming from a ‘good place’ she shouldn’t have asked, out of respect.

Your kid has feelings about the divorce but he’s going to have to adapt to this new reality that your ex chose for him. It is her fault he’s going to be disappointed, not yours.

Could go with a box full of spring loaded snakes.

It’s only going to get worse here.

I’ll give it a whirl. I don’t find I have any difficulty picking up stuff though

Yep we are next with lil PP pretty much guaranteed to get elected.

Bunch of spring-loaded snakes

The squeals when you give them raspberries are the best.

NGL, I’d be right up there with Joe chomping on those baby hammies. I fucking adore kids and babies.

This whole comment right here.

I was thinking the romantic interest thing right out of the gate. I like your emotional need take, too. Either way it’s not work appropriate esp. if OP has communicated their disinterest before.

I also like your direct communication prompt.

While you’re right about how HR works/how to go about it, I find HR a hammer when a finesse tool might work. OP could ask their manager how to deal with it. Not only does this put it on the radar, but it’s a bit less official, and might yield the gray zone outcome OP is looking for

As a parent, I couldn’t give two shits if you don’t have kids. Not gonna convince you. It’s your story not mine.

You’re also not going to convince me I made a poor decision.
