Okay, I'm going to do as best as I can to explain this without sounding like a weirdo/explain in a way that makes sense.

In my cast of characters in a leisure writing product I'm doing involves a small gang of Belarusan fellas (boomers and late millenials). All are fathers (adoptive and biological).

The three millenial fellas move to the US in their early 20s. The majority of their american friends/found family are on the more liberal side (pro choice, feminists, etc). Naturally, the millenials's views shift from more Belarusan/Slavic/E. European (although they're already fairly chill to begin with) views to match theirs.

I have a funny idea of the Belarusan boomers to joke how the millenials's liberal friends 'radicalized' them...in this case, by having them be more 'involved' fathers than they (the boomers) were as fathers. Nothing extreme, just closer to the level of the mothers of their kids.

HOWEVER! Even though this book is just for fun, I want it to be as accurate as possible. I don't want to unintentionally feed into stereotypes/misconceptions about Slavic/Belarusan men. I don't know why.

HERE's where I need help; I want to know what your Belarusan dads are like. I want to hear about mens' expectations/roles as fathers. Their attitude about more 'modern' parenting (more of an even division of childrearing and general household duties).

Anything helps :D

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! BIG FELLA IS BACK!!

(TW for Racism and Suicide mention)

- among the first words out of my grandmother's mouth upon me telling her that a man just attempted to end his own life via gunshot in the waiting room of the ER of one of our local hospitals (at the moment he is alive but in critical condition, so keep him in your thoughts please and thank you).

i asked her what difference does it make, and she clearly wasn't expecting me to ask, because she stammered something about how some people 'struggle'. sadly, asking about race is one of her Things (bonus points if it's regarding someone doing something wrong) so while i'm not surprised, i'm just disappointed that she had to bring it up NOW, of all times. just ugh.

Hi, apologies in advance as this is probably gonna be a dumb question, but I have an idea for a writing project and my knowledge of Non-Mono is limited.

I believe I know the definition of unicorn hunting, but the only examples I've seen are older (middle aged/etc) seeking a younger bisexual woman. I have yet to see a couple around the same age as their unicorn.

My question is, would an older woman being the 'third'/secondary partner/third to a younger established hetero couple (10 year age gap, 34/24ish) still count as a unicorn/unicorn hunting? Would it be considered a 'reverse unicorn'?

Again, sorry if I sound like a dumbass, but I'm curious and want to be respectful by using the correct terminology. Thanks :)

(before anyone asks, YES i turned on defensive mode after this, i kept forgetting to do it until now, and i haven't been on the sub in a while so forgive me if this has been asked already)

so apparently other players can either teleport themselves to you OR teleport you to them now (i haven't played since december so forgive me)? the other day, i was out collecting when what looked like an actual goddamn ogre of a player came up and attacked me (i turned my back for a second so i didn't see him ride up, assuming he didn't teleport to me that time), shot me and killed me. i chose parley because i wasn't about to let that freak ruin my Relaxing Cowgirl Time.

i got a notif that the parley ended because the player went offline; okay, whatever, no skin off my ass. a few minutes later, i swear, the motherfucker literally appeared out of nowhere (and i was fully watching the screen so i would have seen him if he rode up to me, but he didn't), blasted me so hard with a shotgun that it nearly killed my horse too (she's fine but hoy fuck). parley again. idk if the guy exited the game to end the parley and somehow remembered my username or some shit and teleported to me or what, but he found me again. i didn't catch their username but i'm 95% positive it was the same person because their character was exactly the same (like a human Shrek with blue overalls)

luckily, i didn't see them again after that. had a run in with another pair of creeps later on, but it was just a regular ol' trying to lasso a female-presenting player to do god knows what, but there wasnt any hackery, so not important.

AND THEN! i was in the middle of nowhere checking my map when i literally fell through the goddamn world into saint denis in the middle of what looked like some kind of impromptu player meetup. literally just two dozen or so players just standing around. i fled before it could get ugly so i didn't see what became of it.

also, idk if this was a hack or a mod or what, but i saw a KID player in that mob (as in, their avatar was an actual child); if i hadn't been in a rush to get away, would have taken a picture. but i swear to god, they were playing as a kid.

not to sound like a total pussy, but i've never been more terrified during a play session. has anybody else been dealing with this lately?
