I can’t speak for your situation, but I do know of too many examples of marriages “just because” that made both partners completely miserable for decades. And their disgust at each other definitely was not good for the kid to grow up around.
If she’s someone you could see spending your life with, just not right now, then it’s worth considering. But either way, I would advise against agreeing to a shotgun wedding.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 hours ago:
Sounds like her parents are trying to force you into a shotgun wedding.
Ultimately, it’s up to you if you want to go into a marriage that is very much going to be unhappy. Personally, I’d just setup child support arrangements and discuss with her what role, if any, I would have in the child’s life.

These are the shitposts I live for. Not the shit that should be in the political memes community. Thank you!

I mean, I wouldn’t say “don’t celebrate it” but just because someone else is a piece of shit isn’t a blank check for you* to be a piece of shit.

That’s like asking if every racist joke should be applied to everyone of that race. That’s kind of how stereotype-based “humor” works.

Norf F.C or “Goalposting” is the nickname given to a series of drawings and illustrations originating from 4chan’s /pol/ board satirizing Northern English
Yes, 4chan’s /pol/ board is certainly a mighty fine moral compass you’re referencing there. /s

Not saying any of it isn’t accurate for a portion of the population. But it doesn’t apply to everyone (we’re not a monoculture / planet of hats), and to paint 347,628,682 people with an ugly stereotype is, well, kinda racist / xenophobic.
- Comment on One transaction only at the ATM 1 week ago:
For regular debit/POS transactions, yeah, I think that’s universal. For ATMs, though, I think it depends on the ATM software, right?
Is it only your bank’s branded ATMs that do that?My credit union doesn’t operate ATMs and just reimburses the fees, so I use any random ATM when I need to do something other than a deposit. Some ATMs let you me multiple transactions, some don’t. Some don’t even let me transfer funds, but those are usually the dinky little ATMs you find in “convenience” locations.

I really don’t that that gives it a pass, TBH.

How is this not racist/xenophobic? (yeah, I know “American” isn’t a race). You make this kind of comic for any other country, and a rational person would be like “yeah, that’s…pretty racist.”

- Comment on Power Loss but Still Online with Fiber Connection 2 weeks ago:
Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).
Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

That might be it. I was guessing since it’s not one I subscribe to.

No. I’m not, and I don’t think anyone in the comments that I’ve read are saying that either. Geesh!
Stuff ages out. Stuff breaks. Old stuff gets relegated to a drawer or re-purposed. All that (most?) people here are saying is that when you do buy something new, there’s an expectation that it use the current standard.
- Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s annoying for sure. I just bought a handful of cables of known specs that “do it all” and it’s been pretty smooth sailing.
They’re all 3ft or 6ft, 100 watt e-marked, and video capable The only one that’s not is my 10ft one - it’s “only” 100 watt rated but doesn’t do video and is limited to USB 2.0 speeds. I only use that one as a power cord for my laptop, though, and it’s bright red so it’s not like I’m gonna mistake it for anything else.
- Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025 2 weeks ago:
I"m not so much against it (it was good enough in its time). I’ve just come to appreciate the mostly “universal” aspect of USB-C and being able to grab any cable from my bag without looking or digging and have it be the correct cable (all my cables are 100W and video capable, so no matter my need, it will be the right cable).
In a lot of ways, I now see anything with less than USB-C as being like the old, oddly-sized barrel jack connectors. Yeah, it works. Yeah, it’s fine. But it’s also now an oddball cable I have to carry around.
I’m old and resist the future in a lot of ways, but USB-C isn’t one of them lol.
- Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025 2 weeks ago:
Same. I went all-in on USB-C about 3 years ago. My house is still cluttered with cables, but at least I can grab any one of them and charge any device.
- Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025 2 weeks ago:
That’s just for a vendor ID though for data, right? For basic 5V power (non-Power Delivery), they’d just need the connector and a couple of resistors. I’ve got some cheap-ass devices with USB-C, and even disposable vapes (yuck) have USB-C for charging.
- Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025 3 weeks ago:
I have 4 of them, but they keep getting lost or semi-permanently attached to Raspberry Pis or ESP-32 boards. The rest of my micro-usb devices have largely been phased out.
- Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025 3 weeks ago:
I could not disagree more lol. Everyone likes to shit on micro USB, but of all the form factor I’ve used over the years. the mini connectors always seemed to wear out the fastest.

I have C->Micro adapters though they aren’t tethered. I’m just spoiled by only carrying C cables in my bag and being able to just grab any cable without looking or digging (they’re all 100W and video-capable except my 10ft one).

Probably, yeah. I was similarly disappointed when my Kobo came with micro USB, but considering I love everything else about it, I gave it a pass. That, and I typically only have to charge it once a month.
