You're saying that nobody else in the family matters even though they've already decided to keep the child.

Relatively is carrying a lot of weight there.

Their 28-year-old son may not have much to do with the fact that they are having another kid, but that fully grown adult man is still a part of the family and should count for something.

There's no need to just completely and totally toss him out of the equation.

Especially when you consider that there is a possibility, depending on the age of the girlfriend, that both of them could die before this child reaches the age of majority, in which case, he would likely need to step in to finish the job.

If I see a 40 plus year old man and a 16 year old girl going places together, I'm going to assume the girl is his daughter.

Pretty high Ick factor.

It's amazing the lengths people will go to to avoid a difficult conversation.

Whether you like it or not, you are a part of the total equation and if you have issues with it, you should try to communicate your concerns with all relevant people.

Once you have communicated your concerns, It's not your problem anymore.

People don't have to listen, don't have to do what you tell them to do, and they don't have to take your concerns into consideration.

If they choose to do something stupid that's on them.

The author is active on bluesky and she's actually quite nice and everything you would expect her to be.

Regardless of the truth, I prefer Diane Duane's explanation in the "So, You Want to Be a Wizard" novel, In that all of the steam in the subways are generated by a breed of fire worms. These worms, if left long enough, can grow to the size of a respectable and quite terrifying dragon.

I feel like this is one of those things where, even though there is a likelihood that you are right, you don't actually know that you are correct.

People are weird.

People are occasionally evil, especially towards weird people.

There's an entire possibility that atheists have stoned somebody to death, and since you're the one making the claim, I feel like you should be the one to scour every single instance of death in all of human history to verify your claim.

My favorite theory about pinky and the brain is, in the opening song, they say "one is a genius, the others insane", but when they say "one is a genius", they show pinky, and then they say "the others insane", they show the brain, indicating that pinky is the actual genius in the group and the brain is the insane one.

Yeah, this is spelled correctly and grammatically parsable. No way it could be his tweet.

Surely you understand how a stupid response to a silly statement like it is one of the sayings of all time can be appropriate in humorous situations, right?

I understand that you did not find it funny, but I hope that you can understand that it was my intention to be funny, and therefore a serious response is disproportionate.

I didn't say it's secure, I just said it's security.
