Advertising, in my opinion, goes against the spirit of gone wild. I have no problem with OF as a platform, but I’d like to think gone wild is more spontaneous. Just my two cents. If people are that interested, they’ll click into the profile and find plenty an OF link.
Sorry to hear my man.
It sounds painful, and the letter clearly rubbed in some feelings or doubt that you were already having.
Truth is, it is likely just a phase. But it could last a short or long time, everyone’s different, and humans are just the biggest freaking weirdos at that age.
Two big things, 1) accept her as she is. Accept she currently doesn’t desire conversation from you. Doesn’t mean you don’t stop trying, but try your best to not make it about you, though it may be hard not to.
So just continue providing your love and support, try your best NOT to make hints towards your contributions to the family, as she’ll likely see right through it. Be reliable, kind and consistent. Basically, continue being a dad. Continue to show interest in her and ask questions about her day, etc. but if she’s not feeling it, don’t let it become forced.
If this lasts many months, you could consider either having a direct conversation with her, somewhere she feels comfortable, and somewhere she could Leave if she wants to (I.e don’t go for a drive where she doesn’t have an option to leave. Could feel claustrophobic or trapped.) and just direct - “hey, I feel like we don’t connect as much as we used to, and don’t spend much or any quality time together. I was curious on your thoughts about that.” And be as non-confrontational as possible, and hopefully gain some insight that way.
You could also enlist your wife to bring it up nonchalantly since if seems from your comment they talk a lot more than you do with your daughter.
In short, if you’re doing all you’re saying you are, she’ll likely come around at some point. Teenagers are weird. Keep on keeping on, and good luck.
Better to affirm the gender they feel early so they have plenty of time experiencing it so on the low change they realize they’re not the gender they thought they were they have plenty of time and were able to experience it.
Very much so. They should be illegal everywhere as idiots like this are all over the globe!
I read Luigi’s in the voice of Charlie Day. Couldn’t help it.
Maybe it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I love it haha, basically a custom made “This is fine” meme in song form for our generation.
Oof.
Thanks for sharing! Will give it a go.
I just read the whole thread lol, you originally responded “only if you live in a propaganda bubble” to the first comment about things going for Russia being a theme.
Sad to say, you’re incorrect in this chain of comments and are clearly just trying to deflect after making an unpopular reply in the first place.
Go touch some grass.
Thank you for finding a way to word it better than I did, that’s exactly what I meant.
You word it like Ukraine is somehow responsible for the violence because she won’t back down.
This entire clusterfuck is Putin’s fault. Not wanting to give up territory is completely understandable.
I have yet to see a single problem with Lemmy over months of daily use. An instance may have crashed in that time but I didn’t notice not seeing certain instances when scrolling, and I don’t seek out particular communities. Helps that I’m hosted on a less popular instance, and the lemmy.ca admins seem to run a tight ship.
I block a couple of communities a day, but that seems to be expected. I also haven’t seen any kiddie porn.
Less discussion than Reddit, and less specific communities, but that’s been easy to forgive because well, fuck Reddit.
If an alternative pops up at some point, I’ll be sure to give it a try. Lemmy is doing just fine for me.
The more I read about this fiasco the worse it gets. That non-apology letter Linus posted was embarrassing as hell, and in other comments on his forum he seems to just be deflecting left right and centre.
They also lost the video card that the same company sent to them (they recently found it apparently) which is why they used the wrong video card for the “test” of the prototype which was such a poor execution they really did that company dirty.
I guess when you get too big or rich it becomes harder and harder to admit you can be wrong or have made a mistake. The letter had big u/spez energy and I have lost an insane amount of respect for Linus and the LTT brand.
I’m never watching another video from them, and have gone as far as to block their channel on my browser to prevent temptation.
Yeah nothing viral has really ever broken the internet.
Ellen Degenerate’s Oscar tweet sort of broke Twitter briefly, I can’t think of much else.
Thank you so much for your work. This app is amazing and this feature is literally all that’s missing for me.
Thanks for creating such a beautiful app :)
That post seems broken, I can’t comment to it from Memmy.
Laws won’t stop people drinking and causing a nuisance. They won’t drink more now because it’s legal.
But now I can go to the park and have a beer with some friends after work. Sadly I can’t afford to rent somewhere with a back yard, public parks other areas are an important part of the collective public health, and cracking a cold one at the same time, well, no complaints here.
Those are super cool!! Nice work!!
Sorry for the dumb question, what is a star bang?
The way you write is very off-putting. It seems like many people agree. I read your comments because I was interested in the information but yeah. Not trying to be mean, but I understand why you’re getting resistance while you’re trying to provide info.
