I had no idea they were from 2047-2052

I like how you think.

This is fascinating, confusing and somewhat concerning all at the same time. How can someone be a goth raver? Is bipolar disorder required? If so, are they taking in new members?

Yeah I’ve also seen the gatekeeping and purity tests that come with these tribal arrangements in all of their variations. This is such common issue for me that at some point I had to make a gif about

I don’t think I’ve seen any in the wild, at least based on what I saw come up in a few searches. They look like fascinating life forms though. I wonder if they’re nocturnal or just crepuscular and what their feeding habits are. Nature truly is a marvelous thing.

Thanks for the fun reply. Just maybe stay away from glow sticks for a while if you don’t want to relapse.

Umm… What are you… nvm.

Also, are we not going to address your username being in gothic font? (don’t curse me pls)

They’re new in the geological time frame I live in, young goth.

You can’t just go around in life cosplaying cyberpunk 2077 or mortal kombat outside some kind of nerd convention willy nilly. We live in society. There are rules.

Ok but I meant vanilla goths. Not these new modded versions.

ok ok… Schindler’s list then

There’s no way that’s a thing

Is that a thing?

yes. they use ecorotation.

I think my brain just exploded.

I don’t know what to expect from lemmy anymore tbh.

idk about marrying but I’m in my early 40s and have long term dated a few mothers, some with kids in their late teens. In short, it entails responsibility and tact.

Being a recurring kinda-parental / adult figure in a kid’s life has an impact on their notion of what adults do, don’t do and what kind of adult they aspire to be. This entails responsibility. Forming any kind of meaningful bond then having it go away has an impact on anyone, but on children it can be harsher. If you have a heart you don’t mess around with a mother that you’re not really interested in and you should only meet their kids if you’re serious in wanting something stable/long term.

Basically It entails a lot of responsibility that you can either assume or risk making not only the mother’s, but some poor kids’ lives harder. If you don’t care about any of that, that’s up to you (but also, you’re an asshole).

Lots of wonderful women are mothers, though, and many are more than worth the extra care.
