apparently a neoliberal & bad news, for opposing climate-change-accelerating genAI 🤷
the developer of bad parenting has apparently been grooming 14-17 year old children on his discord.
there’s a google doc going around with more details/screenshots, and his game’s fandom site refers to him “dating” a 14 year old child.
idk, i’m vegan and i think it’d be perfectly ethical to eat centi-billionaires 🤷
he would have been 97 or so if he were alive today, it really brings home how recent it was.
the civil rights movement happened within my parents’ lifetimes, but it’s so often spoken about as though it were ages ago & completely out of living memory (to both minimise it & pretend that society’s totally different now 💔)
it’s a phonetic (and maybe playful?) spelling of no more
that’s a beautiful tabby kangaroo! 🤩
you must have a hell of a voice to be able to do all of these! fair play, break a leg & i hope you enjoy the party 🥳
the legends say that toby’s still napping now, and on a quiet night like tonight, you can hear him snoring contentedly 😌💚
the average person wouldn’t buy a new bed/mattress/wardrobe for a hostel (or even a hotel) they were staying in for a few weeks, no. buying larger furniture items like that would generally indicate to a family that OP might intend to stay longer than a few weeks.
it’s not really about the cost, but about making sure that everyone’s communicating their plans/return dates/expectations, so no one’s in for an unpleasant surprise when OP heads home.
overcommunication will at worst result in a “we know, you’ve told us all before”, while undercommunication could result in “i assumed you’d changed your mind about leaving, after you bought so many things for the house”
ahh. that’s a good bit more than someone would buy for a hostel stay, and probably more than someone would buy for a friend, too.
just be sure that you’re clearly communicating your intentions & letting everyone know that while you didn’t mind spending that money, you also don’t intend to move in & stay longer, despite your new purchases maybe indicating otherwise.
are any of these purchases wildly beyond what you might have bought to make a hostel stay more comfortable, like food/bedding/clothes/entertainment?
without more information/any red flags, it sounds like your parents are just being overly protective/suspicious.
assuming i somehow aquired Too Much Money (the centi-billionaire sorta Too Much Money), i’d give the money to land back projects, reforestation/rewilding projects, and native food forest projects, globally.
that probably still wouldn’t use up much of a centi-billionaire’s money, but i genuinely cannot grasp how much money that is… maybe get involved in politics & make it an international crime to charge money for anything that’s a human right, like housing/food/water 🤔
it’s from parks and recreation, the characters donna & tom have an annual day where they treat themselves to various pampering and nice things.
the date wasn’t mentioned “in world”, but that episode aired on the 13th of october 2011, hence that day being picked as the official treat yourself day!
thank you for posting this with the details, i’d seen this photograph a few times before, but never knew the specifics!
according to the wikipedia page, it sounds like the neo-nazis got a fairly icy reception in general 🤘
