  • It doesn’t have to be creepy or problematic, but your son would have to know what worrying things to look out for. Nothing wrong with having a chat saying “hey just because large age gap friendships are rarer, i wanted to make sure you’re on your guard…but your friend might be awesome, just have your eyes open”.

    What specifically worries you?

















  • Seriously though, there’s a potentially great reboot opportunity there…

    It would have to be very intelligently written to avoid the “reboot with women protagonist” clichés/pitfalls, the fact that 007 is a woman would have to strike just the right tone… misogyny would probably need to be faced with a good dose of “ok boomer” smirking, it would absolutely have to pass the Bechdel test…

    But yea, that would be the first James Bond I’d go see in 2 decades, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie.


  • “My” can, but certainly doesn’t always imply ownership. It implies that the qualifier for person B in the sentence is applied to their relationship to me, person A.

    My banker, my hairdresser, my dentist, my accountant, my contractor, my neighbor, my boss, my elected official, etc.

    Probably not at all on you, here, but this is a good example of “exaggerated progressivism” or fake-woke/politically correct speech. It weakens the credibility of the progressive movement and gives conservatives silly exaggerations to point to and mock, when this kind of stuff emerges.

    Just my 2 cents!
