@archillect@high.cat @rgx@muensterland.social @stux figured y'all would like this cat photo

My epic dream last night included a high speed car chase during which Geraldo Rivera fired a rocket launcher at me.

These assholes destroy our economies because they're afraid of the virus, and now they're taking their chance to try to institute socialism and One World Governance.

I'm feeling my homicidal urges rising.

@Anthropomorphize @Grandtheftautism Well, I did just start my very first relationship, and the girl I'm with is 20 as well and...well we're definitely still very hormonal 😅 but no acne. It must be much harder during puberty, I guess.

@realcaseyrollins maybe the social part was delayed for you until after the physical part was over? Idk if that would be better or worse. The awful part for me as a parent is i remembered what puberty was like for myself and my little sister, and i knew what my kids were going through to a certain degree, but there wasn't a damn thing i could do to make it any better for them other than offering lame pep talks when they felt like talking to me at all, and buying them acne medicine, shaving kits, and deodorant.

It's an awful feeling not being able to help your kids at all. You want to scoop them up and kiss their boo-boos and defend them from the awful awful people who made them cry, but you CAN'T, and not only that, the kids themselves don't want you to.

So you watch them mope and cry in the bathroom and you wonder if it's normal teenage stuff or if they really need help with depression, and you have to wait for them to ask you for help and pray that they're mature enough to actually know when they need help, and every once in a while you have to be the asshole and tell them NO, they're not old enough to go off on some insane adventure in the big city in a beat-up rust-bucket of a car with no parents going along, and just let them hate you for a while.

And then, one blessed day, the fog clears, and for a brief period of time, you can worry about them less and enjoy their company more, and if you navigated this minefield correctly, they enjoy your company more too, and you can have a lot of fun together before adulthood sweeps them away for good.

@Grandtheftautism Interesting. I never really got a real hit of that teenage angst until last year, I was a fairly sheltered homeschooled kid and wasn't really able to interact with the opposite sex that much until college.

@realcaseyrollins just growing up, getting past that hideous hormonal rollercoaster that pretty much ruins your teen years. It didn't look like it was any easier or less embarrassing for my daughter than my son tbh, hormones are a helluva drug
