For those too lazy to read this was the Georgia “find me the votes” phone call he made.

I’m pessimistic about him ever facing any jail time.

Nothing in the article about the reason for it. Hmmm. I wonder what’s up.

Yeah. You are not the asshole. But this arrangement is also not going to work out long term.

You are in the right. But I don’t see how that helps you at all. I don’t have a good suggestion…

NTA. I think you are in the clear.

You are a kid yourself. You are 17. When I was your age I would not have done anything different.

One thing you can do for extra credit is talk to your step dad and mom. Tell them: listen, I know you don’t want me to add complex family issues in front my little sister. But I think if she is clear about all of this from young age, I think everything will be easier and better long term.

Tell them that you do appreciate your step dad, and understand that he contributes financially and emotionally with your upbringing. (If he actually does) You are grateful for his role, but you still love your dad and it’s important to you to keep that distinction clear. Thank them for being understanding of that.

At 17, it’s difficult to view world from perspective of others. But try to think about how your step dad and mom see the situation.

Also remember: you don’t have to win an argument. That’s not the goal.

The goal is to be happy with yourself long term. I often find that doing the right thing makes me feel good about myself. Even if that means I walk away from a fight, argument or spend extra effort worrying about others emotions. You don’t need to worry yourself about what your parents did right or wrong. That’s on them.

Yours is to do the best you can for yourself. Love those who love you back and know that no one who loves you is perfect. We are all humans with faults and mistakes in our history. Not worrying about those things will allow you to enjoy your life more.

Have fun, and don’t use your limited time in this planet holding grudges or hanging onto any negative emotions!

Seeing this makes me realize how little remote biking I do. I really need to travel further with my bike. Very beautiful photo. Such a foreign biking backdrop for me.

Am I the only one with still tiny font after the .7 update?

Oh man, I worry you may be right.

Oh man, you’d love watching me mow my irregular 4 acre lot with lots of trees on it. If the grass is not tall enough, I can’t even remember where I’ve cut already :) very roomba style :)

What’s he towing with that? A helium balloon? I honestly am trying to think of how that could be used and I don’t even understand how it supports it’s own weight.

No way of knowing how far we are from ending the war.

The latest update is that Russians and their private mercenaries “Wagner group” are fighting each other.

It’s one of those “the enemy of my enemy” situations but we have no clue where this is going. Russian civil war? Weakening of Russian forces? Potential for Ukraine advance? It’s hard to know.

The concern is that the longer the conflict draws the less support Ukraine will receive. Russia knows this. Ukraine knows this. Western politicians know this.

Wars are always muddy and difficult to predict. Shit, everyone was certain Ukraine would fall in a week. And here we are well over a year into the war.

Good luck Ukraine!

As somebody with ADHD, I don’t get it. What’s unique about it?
