I am not a therapist. I’m guessing most people on Lemmy are not. Take anyone’s advice with a grain of salt… including this.

People make mistakes. It’s human nature for men to seek younger women because they are supposed to be more fertile. It’s human nature for women to seek older men because they are supposed to be more mature and protective.

However, that’s just thousands of years of basic instincts. We’re more educated now. We are supposed to behave like advanced creatures, go beyond our primal thinking.

That said, if you have a good relationship with your dad, don’t break ties simply because of his infidelity. Learn from his mistakes. Maybe help him understand what he did wrong. Your mom is angry because he broke a promise, a vow. She wants you on her side because she is angry with him and wants to punish him for it.

I don’t know your mom or dad or their relationship. Maybe she was a perfect saint or maybe she was cold and manipulative. Either way, he shouldn’t have chosen someone else before their relationship ended. It’s just not right to hide something like that.

Typically, a man choosing a younger woman over their wife tends not to think with their brain, but with their lust. He could very well do it again in five ten years with someone younger.

Your mom shouldn’t force you to choose, but you should definitely have some empathy for her on how their bond was broken. She is in pain. She trusted him and he failed her.

Hopefully, you will find some sort of compromise and balance. It may take time for her to understand. A long, honest talk might help the two of you get to that point.

Best of luck.

Yeah, doesn’t seem to be all… but probably more will be like that than Switch 1 if chips become too expensive especially with tariffs.

At least, they’ll be marked:

I guess it’s not all games, but only some will be license only.

Interesting. I know that one is 70GB minimum on Steam.

The new Switch 2 cartridges supposedly won’t have the games on them… just the license to download and play them.

Trump was so proud of himself for using the word “reciprocal.” He likely didn’t know what it meant earlier this week.

The way I see it… whenever I do buy from Amazon, I say to myself that my money is going to the workers/drivers… and whenever the Magas pay for stuff, that goes straight to Bezos.

It’s not as good as buying from somewhere else, but it helps.

Just like Sandra Bullock and Cillian Murphy.

I think if you watch WolfCop… you might get your answer if it follows the same rules as Teen Wolf.

In my experience, also IT, I’ve had issues with Dell laptops much more than HP. Though HP printers suck.

But see how evil he looks…

I stopped watching during the 7th season. Maybe I’ll go back to finish it up, but it just felt stale even though they tried to mix things up a bit at the start.

Teeth (whole jaw) and arms. Michonne did this to travel around as their smell would cover hers so other walkers couldn’t detect her.

You do realize there are thousands of people who try to earn a living making the content people consume. The majority are not billionaires, they are not millionaires. Many are trying to get by… the “common folk” you speak of.

99% of people who pirate don’t want to pay for their entertainment. They’ll come up with any excuse as to why they think it’s justified to make them feel better. “F corporations and their drm, this will teach them.”

The other 1% is for when it’s not available by legitimate means or if by chance something they did pay for and was then taken away or something wasn’t working through legitimate ways, then I get it… but again, that’s for 1%.

Another option is to not download at all.

Why pirate games at all? I never understood that.

If games (or movies) are too expensive or not good enough to buy, why download them at all?

It’s funny. I didn’t have a lot of issues with our company. Three machines, one server. I deleted the bad update on three. When I got to the fourth, it was already fixed because the user just restarted his machine many times.

The Beholder: “Ahh! Get it out! Get it out! I got Truth stuck in my eye again! It hurts! The Truth hurts!!”

I am not a fan of The Big Bang Theory by any means, but removing the laugh track on any show will make the jokes less funny due to the pacing for edits. They hold on shots longer to add in laughs… this makes for long uncomfortable silences when laughter is removed. And timing is very important in comedy.

If someone removes the laugh track, they should also remove the long silences to give it a better chance. I don’t think it would help TBBT much for me, but comedy is subjective.
