Then we are talking about two different things. The post that I responded to did not make that clear. You should be more careful about using generalizations.

Let’s please not forget that some people donate time and money because it gives them personal satisfaction to help out with something that is meaningful to them.

Millwright specializing in water powered mills or a forest ranger.

Said it before i could!

Yeah, exactly. Keep the good, discard the bad. Fortunately, only my mom was abusive; dad was just a bigot and turned religious.

I had a good relationship with my dad, but he passed when I was 21. I’ve now been alive longer without a father than with one. He had major faults: racist, homophobic, and started going Baptist when he got cancer. If he had survived it, I think that downfall would have progressed and he’d be a fucking Maggot by now. I don’t think he’d get along well with his pansexual son, bisexual DIL and transgender grandkids. So, and this is not a good feeling, I’m a little appreciative of the fact the relationship ended when it was still good. But I’m haunted by what it would have been like if he survived. Like I said, we had a really good relationship. He taught me all kinds of outdoorsman skills, taught me how to keep family close, and how to honor my word. I don’t know if I could have handled if he survived and continued along that path.

My mom always lived for herself and was abusive. I still flinch when someone touches my face because she hit us so much. I cut ties on my wedding day almost 10 years ago and am much happier and healthier.

They both taught me how not to parent and as long as I keep in mind how their words and actions made me feel, I know how to be a good dad to my kids. I’m not going to say they did me a favor there, but I do rely on that lesson to guide me.

Tim Cook is a CEO. His job is to make money for a board of directors and he does that job well. He is not interested in else because that is what a corporation is about.

I actually stopped playing this game because I was sick of scrolling through a shitload of items I don’t need.

Okay, I need to jump up 2.5 levels. I need the box (scroll select cast) and the little platform thing but I haven’t needed that in a while(figure out best sort, still scroll, select, cast) oh wait it’s 3 levels(uncast sort scroll shut switch off)

Aah! I knew I forgot some! Excellent list!

Oh, formatting, no….

I watch too much tv:

Ted Lasso

The Good Place

Parks and Rec

The Office

Brooklyn 99

Northern Exposure

Friends

Schitt’s Creek

Sherlock

Monty Python’s Flying Circus

Fawlty Towers

Because men run entertainment, we can make sure men are making it. Because men are making it, their Mary sue stories are the ones that get released.

That’s how it happens, in my opinion, but I don’t get how more men aren’t completely fucking bored looking at it and listening to it! Seriously, as a middle aged, acerbic, bearded white man, I’m sick of seeing characters that only I can relate to. It’s not a compelling character anymore. I want different characters with different stories!

Thousand Year Door! So happy to be able to play this legally again!
