I feel offended. Dafuq is wrong with hotmail?! Imho, it’s pretty awesome that microsoft still supports it after all these years. Got mine when I was 10 and I plan om keeping it untill I die. It’s a better relic than a beany baby.
Also the emphasis on ride or die tells me he’s going to be controlling right from the start. And the “follow god’s instincts” tells me he thinks his instincts are god’s.
Meh, I always found that a bit rigid. I don’t have a problem with a 60 and a 30 year old person getting it on if they both want it. Maybe something simple like “Don’t try to exploit immature people, you massive creep.”
I get that, and agree with that, I was just replying to the often cited “rule” mentioned by the commenter above, that I feel some are taking too seriously.
Edit: Oh, wait, you’re the commenter above. Well, I’ll just leave my comment like it is, I guess.
My real curiosity pique here is whether or not you really like vegan cheesecake. There are 2 deserts that I countenance absolutely no needing with: one is Philadelphia cream cheesecake, and the other is crème brûlée. Like, every chef in every restaurant has to out their personal touch on crème brûlée and add something: oh, I’m so original, I’ll add sage, or habeñero, or paint shavings, or some shit. It’s: heavy creme, egg yolks, and sugar; that’s it! Stop fucking with my desert!
But we have a dairy allergy in the family, and while I won’t countenance bastardized crème brûlée, we do eat the occasional vegan cheesecake, especially if it’s not trying to be a cream cheese cheesecake. They’re not bad - Daiya makes a decent New York style one - but I don’t know I like them so well I’d choose it as a username.
So, I wonder: are you passionate about vegan cheesecake, or is there irony in there?
I’ve never tried Philadelphia Cheesecake before I went vegan, but had a penchant for New York Cheesecake.
I used to dread vegan cheesecake because I felt it was never quite the same, but over the years, the recipes seem to have gotten better, or I’ve gotten better at finding good ones, so I’m pretty at peace with it now.
The actual reason my account’s named that is actually that I was eating a piece of vegan cheesecake when I made it, though.
Now nice crème brûlée is heaven, and I haven’t yet dared try my hand at a vegan version. Maybe I’ll try it soon, just because this reminded me of that still being on my list.
Vegan crème brûlée would be an incredible challenge. Seriously. It’s literally just heavy cream and egg yolks (and a touch of sugar). There’s nothing non-vegan in the base recipe. And my wife can eat neither dairy nor eggs because of an autoimmune disease, and we’ve tried every substitute for both eggs and dairy. You might get the thickness of the cream from coconut milk, but then it tastes like coconut. And aquafava is a decent egg replacer and might give you the loft, but it’s a better egg white replacer than egg yolk, and the recipe calls for yolks (you discard, or use the whites in something else). There’s no good vegan replacement for yolks; it’s a curse in baking. There are 80 million dairy replacers, some quite good, but eggs are still not there. Just is Ok for some uses, but not for baking.
Yeah, that’s partially why I haven’t tried it yet. But I mean, the worst that could happen is that I get some white cream stuff that’s almost, but not quite, unlike crème brûlée.
I have a feeling he doesn’t really care that much about consent, parental or otherwise. I think that was just a dog whistle for “I like fucking kids” without actually incriminating himself.
You can’t force a person into therapy for a few months and it “just work”. Mental health, especially habits and beliefs, aren’t some easy to solve problems “if only they went to therapy for a bit”. If they don’t want to change (which they won’t if they are forced into it) means it is just a waste of everyone’s time.
I genuinely don’t understand this thinking. The idea of partnering with someone who doesn’t share a similar life experience sounds difficult and frustrating.
I get that they’re not looking to partner with anyone and that’s the point.
If you’re not trying to help someone get an abortion or gender-affirming care, you’re probably safe. Those are the real issues! (Sarcastic, if not clear, and referencing the absurd reporting websites some states have set up)
According to Wikipedia, Texas doesn’t have a “with parental consent” law. If he’s 53, she’s gotta be 17 or older. They wouldn’t be able to get married until she turned 18.
I got divorced in my late 20s, and started dating again around 30. A girl I had met who was 21 asked me why I hadn’t asked her out, and the truth was she seemed way out of my league - very attractive person, very bright. So I went out with her, and she was nice, but I just couldn’t do it because she seemed so young. Not immature, just young. And it was so strange going out with someone who hadn’t even seen the same TV shows as I watched growing up, which sounds superficial, but it was honestly weird.
I just can’t imagine dating someone decades younger than me. An underage person with a 53-year-old is just gross.
Feel ya. I was 50 and some young neighbors were hanging out one Saturday, 20-yo or so. I noticed a friend’s hands were absolutely perfect, beautiful hands. Slim, long, porcelain white.
And it grossed me out. They looked like doll’s hands, a child’s hands. Eww.
My wife, same age, doesn’t understand why I so love her hands. They have age, maturity, I love them.
Valuing each other’s “mileage” is so wholesome and needs to be normalized. Too many of us are taught we have this tiny window of being pleasing to look at before the “imperfections” start getting toted up…and it isn’t true. I can’t imagine being with someone in their early 20’s. That’s still a kid in my eyes! They need to BE a kid and experience relationships with other kids where they are equals in figuring out everything together.
My partner and I are about a year apart in age and we remember all our weird awkward growing up moments together where we struggled to figure things out and each one is a treasure. They if anything get just get more and more attractive with age.
