  • after they cheat their way to retaining majorities in both house and senate in these upcoming midterms, it’s all over. anyone who thinks there’s any chance of coming back after that is still delusional. “make sure you go out and vote!!” lol, ok…what do i do when they throw away all the ballots that aren’t straight R all the way down?

    personally, i think it was already all over when everyone allowed the GOP to steal the scotus nomination from obama. and THEN the GOP threw their own “rule” that they made up on the spot out the window to allow trump to nominate his third scotus justice.

    everyone who is or was in a position to prevent the millions of steps require to get to this point-- they’re all complicit




  • some people look at me in horror if i say i’m skipping dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow, or god forbid, not eating until day after tomorrow-- they absolutely think it’s a “fad” and that i’m going to die immediately if i don’t eat burgers and fries ASAP

    i don’t know where you are, but where i live, skipping a meal or two is like… spitting on jesus or something

    you are correct in that 18 is technically “legal.” barely. my position is still that under 25 = kid, without the life experience to realize how fucking creepy it is for someone over 30 to pursue a teenager. again, subtract one year from each side (32 yr old dating 17 yr old), and your argument based solely on “legal age” no longer works.

    ultimately OP does what she wants regardless, and it looks like the date is off, which makes me glad. as an old guy, i know guys, and i know the type of guy who actively goes after the youngest possible women. they are best avoided

    fair enough. i’ll concede maybe the 33 year old dating the 18 year old isn’t necessarily a “pedo”

    going on a date with someone 10 years older than her

    18 vs 33 is NOT 10 years. why would you try to change OPs situation into a 10 year age gap, when it’s literally 15 years? and before you say “what’s the big deal,” try that argument with a 30 yr old dating a 15 yr old-- same age gap, only 3 years difference-- what’s the big deal?

    look, i usually don’t chime in on violet’s posts with old people advice, but in this case she specifically asked for advice, and my advice to ANY woman under 25 is this-- be very wary of dudes 15 years older than you trying to get in your pants. take it or leave it
