  • I'm not Italian, but I am a Fat Balding Idiot so we're all good.

  • Don’t really do new year resolutions but I am doing dry January which is going fine, and February is in sight!

  • “Then this one guy threw the ball and this other guy ran very fast towards the end of the field and caught the ball but then this other other guy knocked him over…”

  • People using 'yourself' and 'myself' instead of 'you' and 'me' when trying to sound formal or posh. You don't sound formal or posh, you sound ill-educated.

  • Cookware - cast iron skillets, enamelled cast. iron Dutch ovens, stainless steel saucepans.

    Chef knives.

    Leather wallet, briefcase, overnight bag and a couple of belts all made by Saddleback Leather - their tagline is "They'll fight over it when you're dead".

  • The specific example I linked to uses machine learning to try and master the game by playing it.

  • You have the same problem as a friend of mine who struggles with both her parents.

    Your idea of who he is doesn’t match the reality of who he is. This leads to him constantly disappointing you because he doesn’t behave the way you hope he will.

    I think the first step to moving forward (in whatever way that might be) is to adjust your idea of who he is until it more closely matches reality. From what you’ve written, he doesn’t treat you as an adult or an equal. He doesn’t care about your boundaries (because he doesn’t consider you an adult or equal). He doesn’t care to be kind and nurturing. He doesn’t care about your feelings.

    Once you can accept who he actually is you can make an informed decision about whether you want to include him in your life.

    Lastly, your fear about him using his wealth to control you absolutely smacks of an abusive relationship. We don’t try and control those we love.

  • Hmm. I was present when a friend discovered he had epilepsy when he had his first seizure. It was life-changingly awful for him. He had to give up his university course (chemical engineering IIRC), his planned vocation, and - amongst other things - his driving license.

    If this is a genuine case then I really feel for Claire Freemantle, 48. She's discovered she's epileptic, has accidentally killed two children, and now it is being implied she did it on purpose.

  • "Yes, I am untouchable, the cops can't do jack sh---"

  • Good. Almost all ‘disrupters’ are basically about sidestepping regulations which is what allows them to undercut legitimate companies which are compliant.

  • Well is the duck wearing a maga hat?

  • Nice. In that case I shall smirch him to the end, I shall smirch him on the seas and oceans, I shall smirch him with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, I shall smirch him on the beaches, I shall smirch him on the landing grounds, I shall smirch him in the fields and in the streets, I shall smirch him in the hills; I shall never unsmirch!

  • I’m not scared. I’m a besmirching machine. He’ll know he’s been besmirched when I lay down some righteous besmirch upon him!

  • Ordi needs to fucking grow the fuck up.
