    My neighbour is almost 60 and she still lives with her mum! (And when she married the husband moved with them.)

    I think that it’s fine to still live with family. As long as nobody is a leech or a control freak.

      I think the only reason this is a thing is because houses are prohibitively expensive for about 60% of the population right now. So your options are

      1. rent
      2. wait until your parents are gone and take their house

      Most people are much better off with a house from their parents than paying some rich douches mortgage for them.

    People don’t understand soldiers. You get discipline, confidence, structure, and community, but it is just a job done by normal people. I know door kickers that are just chill normal folks and one that refuses to own a gun. I know a Ranger that worked against governments and trained people to rise up against their oppressors, that fell for trump (and I miss that dude a lot, he is genuinely a good guy and was a hero of mine until he went MAGA…he fell for the deception and I couldn’t pull him out. I get real bad “left a man behind” in the pit of my stomach when I bring him up…fuck.). I know an MP woman, that was in and active for 10 years, that is an adorable little goth chick that works at the local hippy co-op store.

    If you work around people, especially a factory or blue collar job, look around, those are soldiers. Dumb ones, lazy ones, ones that should be doing something great but aren’t. it is a little less equivalent when it comes to combat roles, but you still have a spread, it isn’t like the fantasy portrays.

      “I can’t believe someone would be so stupid as to fall for trump”

      “Everyone who works in a factory is dumb and lazy and should be doing something better”

      Wonder why he got elected.

    Harley Quin r34 is generally pretty good quality honestly, and other than the fact fetish stuff it’s fairly normal as far as r34 goes. So don’t be so hard on yourself there are much more degenerate things you could be jorkin it to.
