My family is a fucking curse.
I just learned today that my sister is transferring money to her own bank account from my mothers, and pays the bills for the house where my mother lives using that money. So right now on paper it looks like she is the one taking care of my mother, which is a lie.Last time it was my brother who ripped her off, and on the top of it decided to move back in, because i wasn't there...
I had to travel back to europe to get his ass out of that house,
and now we' here.I'm tired of this.
- Sucks. I guess your mom is not capable of handling the finances herself?Gnash
- she is pretty much capable of those things... my sister made her bank account decades ago and she has no interest giving out the control to my mother.sted
- she can check her balance on the phone, and there is always some excuse why she can't access her payment history for example.sted
- Sounds like a long con. Ownership of house is the prize...Doris_McSquirter
- No allowing women to have their own bank account.. that's an abusive relationship!SlashPeckham
- Take yourself control of the accounti_was
- I know it's not savoury but try and keep receipts of all the transactions...just so you can use if necessary down the track. Not pleasant...but wise.BusterBoy
- why i have little idea for respect based on bloodlines. family shit sucks. just make sure you arent greedy in it all. sometimes easier to let the parasites takedeathboy
- it all. stay away. guess really depends on your relationship with your mother. sounds distant finding out late. im sure you will figur e it outdeathboy

Just did a bunch of spring cleaning, hoovering, and rearranging of furniture while listening to a fiddler on the roof podcast. Time flew by, and I got everything done... but the guy doing the interview on the podcast was so bad and interviewing... Like he couldn't think of any questions to ask except awkward ones and kept repeating "it's a such a great movie" over and over instead of interacting with the answers the guest was giving. It kinda ruined what could have been an awesome podcast. Anyway... sleepy now, time for a nap.
- hehe. i like a good cringe. got a link?Doris_McSquirter

- I've been listening to alot of Melvyn Bragg lately. Maybe I'm just spoiled now because he is so damn good as an interviewer.cherub

urrrrgh .. found that my almost 10 year old has been searching porn on his iPad.. god damn it.
we had it locked down, but during the home schooling every other day we had to unlock it because something or another than google classroom needed.. then school went back and it must have been left off the past month..
- Kids have access to things we could only dream of when we were their age!Bennn
- Yeah I had to loosen the parental controls on my 9 year olds iMac so he could participate in his online classes. Thankfully he's only searched weird roblox andfooler
- minecraft stuff for now.fooler
- 10 yr olds love to pull the pud. At least it wasn't gay porn, or was it?utopian
- at least we eased into it. maybe the odd boob on a late night movie, or hitting the jackpot and finding a playboy in the bushes where we'd see tits and a nice_niko
- sooner or later this would have happened.
@utopian you're being an asshole :)sted - fluffy bush, but quite vanilla. Today, they've got all the depravity known to man at their fingertips. Can't be healthy for the young mind._niko
- I would setup the home network properly to make it really hard to get what he needs. this way it feels less like punishment lolsted
- use openwrt capable router, apply your favorite nofap hosts file, talk to the kid without embarrassing him :)sted
- yours is HOSTS in Linux and macOS
https://github.com/4…
unfortunately no access to host file on an ipad. (router solves this)sted - yeah locked the router down now, but that is only access in general.. ISP has content filtering but even on the mild settings it blocks things like Fiverr.comautoflavour
- it was kind of crazy tho, went from search terms like naked sex and hug sex at the beginning, to pooping sex and how to make a girl have sex with you..autoflavour
- and cartoon sex.. of course.. he is still a kid after all.. pull back on the iPad time to begin with then once that it is normalised will have a chat with himautoflavour
- before Covid they had like 4 Hours screen time a week, and it was only weekends.. then homeschooling happened it was like 7 hours a day.. so it was about timeautoflavour
- it got cut back .. just hope he didn't see anything too much.. one video was DP.. but I am guessing its probably also popupsautoflavour
- I hopeautoflavour
- those filter methods do the same thing like the hosts files. but its better to have control over what domains or ip addresses redirect to the void.sted
- i assume he barely understands what's on the screen.sted
- Get him a QBN account.deadsperm
- Surely a good kid. Maybe needs a girlfriendeddieScissors
- netflix sex education season 1. good for parents to remind you how teenagers think, and good for teens to get sane answers about sex.uan
- at 10years, parents should watch it to be prepared, later on teens can watch and discover it alone.uan
- if you really want to fuck with his head, tell him sex is only for people who love each other.imbecile
- “How to make a girl have sex with you” is your kid robo? But seriously good luck with it man!ben_
- Pooping sex?? Auto were you fucking with us lolfuturefood
- Also, I don’t want kids. Keep my carbon foot print to a minimumfuturefood
- How did you find out what he was searching for?mantrakid
- Well damn...is it time for that talk?Maaku
- I found what he was looking at by literally opening safari on the iPad and he left pages open..autoflavour
- and no, pooping sex was a search term.. as was Splatoon sex.. which is how I know it was him, he is nuts for splatoonautoflavour
- he is an awesome kid, and he does a friend who he has been face timing a lot with who is a girl, I am not sure they are boyfriend girlfriend tho..autoflavour
- might i just suggest an idea without reading anything.. don't spy on the kid. Let them be themselves. Ignorance is blissdeathboy
- db: it's clearly about protecting the kid.uan
- So letting 9 years old watch x rated porn and double penetration is fine deathboy? There is privacy and there is privacyautoflavour
- Will sooner throw these new iPads out than let that world existautoflavour

How come bottled water tastes better than what comes out of my tap?
- because you live in Flint?_niko
- R U - ANTIFA?utopian
- Because Trump wants you to turn into a gay frog.NBQ00
- basically because you pay for it and therefore think that taste is better.uan
- Oh and USA doesn't have the best tap water. It caters to Nestle and Coca-Cola and such who can make $$ with bottled water.NBQ00
- Switzerland has the best tap water in the world.NBQ00
- that’s what we thought...till they started looking for chemicals from agriculture in it.uan
- i mean, still safe to drink it..but ground water is polluted even here.uan
- New York has amazing tap water.monospaced

auto's post above prompted me. My 16 year old son...he's a great kid. So thoughtful and empathetic. Also very spriitual...our family is not religious but he explored religion, meditation and spirituality at a very young age...around 10 or 11. Also super into music and plays in a band...although with COVID they haven't played much.
So he's very different to me.
He's also quite a loner. Has a few friends but I think he's happier when he's by himself. Kind of shy and awkward...but he really is a lovely boy.
But I think he believes that he doesn't really matter when it comes to his friends. That they think his presence and contributions aren't really valued. I don't think he's right there...but I sense a bit of anxiety on that front.
He's also had some OCD type episodes. Started about 5 years ago when he'd do the occasional strange little thing...kind of disappeared for a while, but it's back with a vengeance the past month or so. He'll go in and out of the house about 10 times a night even in the freezing cold. Sometimes going into the backyard and opening / closing the BBQ lid about 50 times. He says it's just something he does as habit and nothing to worry about...but I am getting a bit concerned.
He has had sessions with a child psychologist in the past which did help...thinking we may need to go down that path again.
Anyway, not sure why I'm writing this...but it's all just part of the journey I guess.
- Surely, a great kid. Maybe needs a girlfriendeddieScissors
- sounds like the kind of kid who is going to live his best years as he grows older. prob just needs to find his jam to get into.inteliboy
- Get him assessed. The ocd stuff compounds — it can get worse fast. Don’t wait and seeGnash
- Also look into something called P.A.N.D.A.S. Syndrome. Especially If it can on suddenlyGnash
- My daughter went though something similar. Therapy helped in a huge wayGnash
- ^^ came on*Gnash
- It’s hard work, for everyone. I took 6 months off work to help her through therapy. She’s going into 2nd year university and doing greatGnash
- But man, can that stuff escalate fast.Gnash
- I'm with inteliboy on this, and yes, a gf will be very helpfull, take care of him, looks like a smart boy. Good luckOBBTKN
- A gf will fix nothing. His rituals will only compound without support. Don’t take the signs lightly.Gnash
- I'm with Gnash: bros before hoes.deadsperm
- Excellent summary, ds. thanks :)Gnash
- Thanks one and all. We've wrapped our arms around him...he says he's just not super passionate about anything right now...BusterBoy
- ...nothing to really look forward to each day. So we're trying to help but it's something he's going to need to work out.BusterBoy
- We've also booked him a session with his psychologist so we'll just keep plodding forward!BusterBoy
- It’s super hard.. my kid is a sweetheart but is also super sensitive .. is easily discouraged and takes so many things to heart.. even if he was 12 I wouldautoflavour
- Less concerned about porn, but 9 years olds are still such kids.. or can be at least .. porn will always be there, his innocence wont beautoflavour

I'm a loner. Coronavirus made me happy to see the world disappear but now I miss it.
I don't want kids or a family, some good company is all I'm asking for. Not in a rush to find it, being alone is peaceful.
I want to be able to exercise outdoors again. Can't wait for the parks to open again. I love exercise, I've missed it since winter and corona hit.
I've gained 10 lbs due to inactivity. Mostly in the upper body.

I don't understand the "wife beater" undershirt. The neck and pits are the part of my undershirts that get the sweatiest. I rock the v-neck so I don't look like a dweeb with a top button undone.
What is the purpose of these shirts? To hide your nips? Seems pointless.
- Tropical weather style. can be worn in conj w a "jacket layer".eddieScissors
- The T-shirt is a fairly recent thing. The Sleeveless undershirt was a mobility thing. Everyone wore ‘undergarments’ not that long agoGnash
- gets sweats from large surfaces of the body and gives you more freedom of movement and more air for neck and pits. they work.uan
- My rain jacket gets wet in the rain. What's the point of wearing it?deadsperm
- We have a national school uniform where I'm from. Dark grey trousers and white shirts. Back in the day we all wore wife beaters (bibiris = BVDs).deadsperm
- The more thuggish would wear a handkerchief on their neck so they wouldn't have to wash their shirts as often. You knew not to fuck with those guys.deadsperm
- Wife beaters are for the working man, they're not meant to keep you warm.deadsperm
- I always thought of them as a more formal tshirt. Special occassion wear.Doris_McSquirter

Back in the iTunes days, I used to be able to archive the podcasts episodes that I loved by just finding the accurately titled files in the podcast folder (home/music/itunes/itunes media/podcasts).
With the os x Podcast app I can't seem to do that anymore.
Now files are stored in various cache folders and labeled 0E129DB5-E2D4-4E22-8FA5-4CB4B6BB... etcAny good podcast app out there that keeps episode files clearly organised ?
- Files? What are those?!nb
- yup, hated that, I switched over, no more lack of options iPhone for me, there's plenty of really good podcast apps on androidmoldero
- ah figured it out, now i need to drag them one by one from the Podcast app onto a folder... how convenient :-/spl33nidoru

I would love to have an Adblock extension that blocked all ads, of course, but also 'clicked' on all of them so that newspapers and other websites that depend on the revenue get the clicks and the pennies that come with them.
...some of y'all are developers, how possible is that?
- white list newspapers and other websitespango
- but as soon as i see click bait ads, they go right back to black list.pango
- Not very possible, but not improbable either.grafician
- but if you want to block ads, use these lists: https://energized.pr…grafician
- i think there's an ad blocker that only blocks trash ad and whitelist ads for legit sites that needs them. exactly what you ask for.pango
- i think "brave" used to do that. now they decided to do their own browser.pango
- Thanks y'all!sarahfailin
