  • Try to have a conversation around what this diploma “unlocks” in her life that she wants. If all she needs are a diploma to flash while witching, there are cheaper diploma mills that take less time.

    Edit: Reading back it sounds like I’m being light-hearted about this. I’m not really. At some point children are adults that make bad choices that are out of your control, and the best you can do as a parent is to not alienate them by trying to prevent it but help them think things through.

    That’s not the same as encouraging bad decisions, but accepting them. In a year or two that thinking may be what they need to make better choices, and they will still trust you to talk things through.











  • Here’s my problem with anime: I keep getting burnt on recommendations.

    Anime fans do not share my distaste for sexualized child-coded characters. Which would be tolerable if they would even acknowledge the CONCEPT.

    It’s a dice toss whether the anime is a Cowboy Bebop or something with loli side characters halfway through season 2, and I’m just rarely up for spending the time to do that research for a recommendation.

    And “Achshually, these are just drawings not real people”, “umm, she’s really a 1000 year old dragon who just chooses/got stuck with a small human body” fuckery just tires me.
