Sounds like her parents are trying to force you into a shotgun wedding.

Ultimately, it's up to you if you want to go into a marriage that is very much going to be unhappy (I know currently and grew up around lots of terible pregnancy / stay together for the kids marriages) Personally, I'd just setup child support arrangements and discuss with her what role, if any, I would have in the child's life and politely, but firmly, tell her parents to fuck off (you're both adults).

Edit: And if she doesn't want to have a baby, I would also support and assist with that.

How do you all feel about Reuters, Associated Press, National Public Radio and BBC

Recommend them all. They're pretty unbiased and highly credible. I'm also a monthly donor to NPR :)

I tend to just stick to the wire services (Reuters, AP) and fill in with NPR/BBC and some local news stations that aren't owned by Sinclair. I tend to avoid any and all that have clear bias or try to appeal to emotion. I just want the verified facts.

For topics related to technology and privacy, TechDirt is pretty solid. They don't pull punches and are very well researched.

I'll edit this comment if I think of any more specific ones.

We need people that will safeguard certain lines that may not be crossed.

Exactly.

"We finally won."

What did it cost?

"Our humanity"

If people are so willing to cross those lines, what are we even doing or trying to uphold?

I do both, but mostly the tea is just to stretch out the coffee supply. e.g. Instead of making a second up of coffee, I'll make tea instead.

Every time I grab it from the cabinet lol.

Goes good with cham-pag-ney.

I'm happy he's not spewing hate anymore. However, I abhor (and denounce) how that came to pass and remain genuinely disgusted at the sick, bloodthirsty mob social media turns into when shit like this happens (or attempted happens).

I am very much not an "ends justify the means" kind of person and firmly believe that kind of logic is extremely dangerous.

How does this make me feel? Well, disgusted. Disgusted that there's more gun violence in the world, disgusted that people are cheering it on, and disgusted with pretty much everyone's knee-jerk takes on the matter. I can forgive celebrating his passing as dark humor / gallows humor. I can even understand laughing at the schadenfreude due to the guy's stance on exactly this kind of thing. But for people to be praising the suspect or calling for more is firmly crossing the line into psychopath territory.

Again, the ends do not justify the means.

I can feel in my bones that the other shoe is about to drop, and all these people salivating over the bloodshed are not going to be happy when it does. Violence only begets more violence, and people need to understand that and not be cheering it on.

I usually alternate between Risa and 10F unless I'm posting for a theme event happening in 10F. Like to diversify my Trek-adjacent shitposting lol.
