  I remember him looking for some news communities. He says he also likes some “super niche, esoteric memes” or something like that

  I don’t know what the average yard size is in your area, but in general I doubt front yards would provide enough land to sustain everyone

  How do you even type on that thing

  If you usually go on Reddit on your phone, you could use parental controls to block the website with a passcode. Make sure you don’t know the passcode. Have it set by someone you trust, and tell them to never tell you what it is

  Knowingly saying something false. I wouldn’t consider omitting information to be lying. Maybe in some contexts it is but for a lawyer that seems too stringent

  Law school’s like that eh?

  I remember my second grade teacher saying that stars aren’t actually suns, they are just specs of light in the sky, and they don’t get much bigger once you get close up to them. In hindsight I’m baffled that someone with such a simplistic worldview actually managed to meet the educational requirements for being a teacher.

  Not only this, as much as I love him due to him being family, I don’t love his views.

  First off, I want to tell you that this is OK, even if it’s hard. I know plenty of people who hold similar views to your dad. Some of them I love very much even though I strongly disagree with their politics.

  I think it’s important to emphasize this. People on the internet can be quick to demonize others. But OP is 15. What good is there in trying to create a divide between a 15 year old and his grandpa? There is none, not in this situation, anyway.

  Besides, if we’re being honest, most of our grandparents have questionable views. There’s a massive generational gap there, and a lot of social progress has occurred since our grandparents were young. And in old age, people often just don’t have the cognitive flexibility required to adapt to these changes. And there comes a point when it might not even be worth trying to change them because they might literally just not be capable.
