Family has to earn and maintain your respect just like anyone else.

If they degrade the quality of your life, it’s ok to cut them out to help your own mental health. If they care about you they’ll learn to respect you for who you are…as long as you’re not hurting others with your decisions.

You’re so young I don’t even know what to say other than if you know he’s your person then you and he need to sit down and hash out a plan to move into your own place together as soon as humanly possible. Like, within months you need to find a space for you and him to exist in together without others.

You’re already trying to manage a relationship while really really young, and I won’t get into why that’s extra challenging. So having someone else around all the time, whether it’s family or roommates, is just not helpful.

You won’t know if this is going to last with your partner until you both have a space of your own. And since you’re married, you need to figure out whether it’s going to work out sooner than later.

Side Advice: You are 16. You are going to change significantly over the next 10-15 years. You need to feel confident that your partner is going to be with you no matter how much you both morph during that extremely transformative time.

Being poor and living on the edge paycheck to paycheck taught me that there are a whole lot of things you can live without that you didn’t think you could.

You can literally cut all subscriptions out of your life and eat nothing but groceries you buy cheap at a food co-op and you’d be surprised how ok you are.

There’s a LOT of fat you can cut out of your life. And it makes things simpler and simple is peaceful.

Nah loser.

You don’t seem to understand.

You made obscene statements and are now refusing to back them up, because you’re wrong AND lazy.

I didn’t make dipshit statements.

You did.

Back them up or continue being the clown loser you already are.

Yeah, we should totally focus on something so vanishingly rare and trivial it almost doesn’t exist instead of the myriad of real world, life and death problems.

It’s a cult and cults only follow the cult leader.

Have fun living in your cult leader father’s shadow, dipshit.

The “man” is literally a traitor to our nation. So yeah. She’s right.

I did Nazi this coming.

Another day. Another step closer to America becoming North Korea.

“Felon Rapist Traitor Continues Destroying American Economy”

How has he been given or taken this much power?

Well.

One of Congress’ jobs is to reign in the power of the president and make sure the branches of government are balanced.

Congress is controlled by Republicans.

Republicans are spineless cowards.

They’ve given up their Congressional powers to their felon rapist traitor daddy.

You are literally witnessing the collapse of the U.S. federal government to an authoritarian. Because it can, in fact, happen here.

Yeah, planes have been falling out of the sky pretty regularly lately without assistance from terrorists.

Trump was open about his hatred for unions and worker rights leading up to the election and working Americans still showed up and made him president.

I can’t even blame this one on Trump. For once he was actually honest about his intentions. This is all on stupid Americans.

So you’re openly admitting you can’t support any of the ridiculous statements you made?

This is just me, but if I was fired by some felon rapist traitor trying to appease a bunch of neckbeard losers, and anyone in my life voted for that felon rapist traitor, after he made it clear he was going to do so, I would probably never speak to them again.

Your family has to earn and maintain your respect, just like anyone else does.

Have a friend who works for a federal department that deals with disaster response. They have workers that travel extensively. Apparently Musk froze their company credit cards that they use for transportation, food, and hotels WHILE many of them were in the field.

Apparently someone close enough to Musk pointed out how fucking stupid this actually was and he had to reverse it so they weren’t stranded thousands of miles from home.

These fucktard traitors have exactly zero clue what they’re doing and their actions make them enemies of the United States of America.

Put this unelected immigrant in a hole in Guantanamo.

Nobody actually wanted this.

They voted directly for it, fool.

I guess with their support for a live-streamed genocide

That’s a pretty glossed over way of telling us you don’t understand global politics and why America isn’t going to alienate their most important ally in the Middle East. A country expressing displeasure with the way their ally is interacting with another nation but remaining their ally because of the geo-political importance is not “blue MAGA (lol)” starting WW3. Nothing about America remaining allies with Israel starts WW3.

Full-throated support for a proxy war that threatens to turn nuclear with Russia.

Lol. You mean America supporting a democratic nation that was invaded by our greatest adversary so they can use their soldiers to prevent us from using ours to stop Russia from expanding their borders and their influence? Not only is that helping not start WW3 because we don’t have to get directly involved with Russia, but no one is going nuclear because it doesn’t benefit anyone.

Threatening hot war with China throughout the Biden admin.

Source your statements. No one is just going to believe you, especially after saying things like “blue MAGA”.

Escalating tensions with the DPRK

Source your statements.

backing a coup attempt in South Korea.

Source your statements.

Continued support for destabilization of leftist countries in South & Central America.

Source your statements.

Honestly, I’m not going to keep saying it. You keep making wild statements you expect us to take your word for. Source every statement you said or I can’t take you seriously. You just typed a lot of words to condemn Democrats for their handling of foreign affairs while 100% utterly and completely declining to acknowledge Republican’s categorical destruction of our relationships with virtually all our allies over the course of a single month.

It’s pretty obvious you’re a shill.

And stop saying “blue MAGA”. It makes you look ridiculous.

Oddly enough, I still went to Digg sometimes if I was stuck at work without anything else to look at.

Looks like another website is going into my website graveyard.

Welcome.

Best advice I can give you is to just give Lemmy some time. It can feel a bit empty at first because there’s less content than Reddit but

1. I’ve been on here 4 months and have already seen a major increase in users.

2. Spend some time seeking out subs and joining. At first I wasn’t finding enough new content to keep me occupied during various downtimes during the day, but now I’ve got more than enough new stuff every day to keep me entertained.
