2·2 days agoI understand it, I get it, I just don’t agree.
he has no issues with OP or their partner; He is still family, and he is amenable to OPs lifestyle…
If you apply a political purity test to everyone around you, you will quickly run out of friends and family - not everyone is going to match every single ideology you have.
OP didn’t indicate their father didn’t think they had a right to exist.
How do I approach the topic with him and tell him it’s either me or these beliefs
Do you need to change your father’s mind? Can’t you just spend time together and not talk about politics?
Is that selfish of me
Yes, your requiring people in your family to agree with you or you will leave them.
That’s good. We can have different experiences and know different people.

Not every part of the world has a tax office work ritual. In my neck of the woods they don’t.
And if we are talking about the paperwork heavy countries, there are tax offices in abundance where people come in and have a third party type their info into a computer… could they have done it on their own? yes.
We are identifying trends in this discussion.
In my neck of the woods: phone only for the vast majority of people.
Even people who use a computer professionally at work don’t use one at home.
The only people with home computers I know of are millennials who grew up with them. Younger and older simply don’t have computers at all in their lives. Nobody can type anymore.
Monitor and keyboards won’t disappear, but it will become more niche with time. It won’t be a universal experience like it used to be.
I like to drive barefoot. Really get a feeling for the pedals and movement.

Glp-1 inhibitors have a place in medicine, but they are the not the panacea people seem to think they are
- not tolerated by 25% patients
- massive muscle wasting
And unless you plan on taking the inhibitor for the rest of your life, you still need to learn how to eat healthy for when you stop!
Something crazy like 80% of patients regain the weight they lost when they stop taking glp1 within 2 years… but they regain fat, not muscle, so they are the original weight but less muscle
Having watched the show, they didn’t deny climate change in season 1. They talked about the lack of better options when comparing total carbon cost for the various alternatives.
Not to mention the scene where they use a windfarm to power the pumpjacks in a rural area.

A nearly 30 year old film doesn’t really need spoiler warnings, but why not.
Was the entire film a alternative reality? Did the devil roll back time at the end? Was it all a fantasy of temptation?
If it was a vision, what purpose did it serve?

When the glasses are old: any fucking thing, including paper and spit, whatever shirt I’m wearing, napkins, etc
My intrusive thought frequency and vividness have diminished with significant changes to both diet and exercise. Now I’m at the point where I can stand on the edge of a high building balcony and not have the “jump” monologue kick off.

Diabetes is pretty expensive for a community
In Malaysia it’s about $300/month for a live in maid (plus food).
