  • Very sorry to hear that, i hope there’s a near future in which you can come together with your father again.

    What gets me every time, is the similarities in all stories i hear. It got really bad one time with my father, when we had a LGTBQ related discussion. I’m always shocked when i hear Anti-LGTBQ discussion points. It’s like, they would rather kill 'em all, than to just live their own live and give a fuck who is fucking who.

    As long as it’s all consensual adults …

    Society should rather look at the sexual activities in their own circles. Most children are abused by relatives. While i have never heard of a transgender person abusing a child, i constantly hear about priests abusing children.

    I live in another country than my parents and sometimes I’m grateful for that. I don’t know how i would have handled it, if we had constant contact and am somehow happy i didn’t have to. The distance is hard enough, everyone is getting older and i would love to be able to sit with my father in the garden and watch birds, like in the long ago times.

    I opted to evade discussion and to try not to discuss anything politics with my father. I don’t want to spend the limited time we have together, fighting with him over such an absurd take on everything alive.

    Think about it, the older they get, the less they’ll change. I figured that I’ll have to ignore that, talk about others things. It’s the only way, if i want to keep our relationship alive. There’s no more time to let grass grow over it or to let time heal things.



  • My dad was corrupted by social media. It’s getting a bit better, because he doesn’t have unlimited computer access anymore. But not long ago, his first sentence, after we hadn’t talked for a while, was: “What do you think about the woke agenda?”

    He really suspended his real life and was almost 24/7 online and got deep in the wrong meta neighborhood.

    My father was never like that before, i hope it’s not some state of perception that many of us are doomed to have sometime, because it’s age related.



  • They will consume regardless of who made the content, they are already believing every bullshit written by humans. When AI spills some deep woven conspiracy stories in the future, complete with unbelievable images “proving” the “incidents”, they will eat it up.

    There’s already a creepy trend with AI generated Trump + god + beer + guns mashups floating around. Many seem to eagerly embrace the uncanny visuals of most AI generated images.















  • I always smirked, when people said their cat demands pets.

    But, last month i met a pets-demanding cat for the first time. Just like in the pic, he got real close and had that look. Also, the body language, moving all around me, almost drilling his head in my stomach.

    Dear God, it was hard to let go.

    They can be so intensely affectionate, i didn’t know that and I’ve met lots of cats in the past.
