Same difference.

Mum was taking emails from Republican shits, even though we lived in Australia.

Eventually, between all the shit going on, I decided to go no contact with her over it. It took so long to deprogram myself from a shitty Mormon upbringing, plus systematic abuse throughout teenage years. I wasn’t willing to go through even more crap all over again.

She died six months later.

And if you physically abuse them, theyll become physically abusive.

Grow up.

Fiction element, definitely.

Zero interest in stuff like The Expanse. I enjoy more speculative stuff with some room for weirdness and fun, saving a modest helping of gritty details for the characters and political developments over the actual science.

Shorter lifespans from poor blood flow and other problems that arise from it.
