there is no reason to believe I am not my father's child. The list of genetic coincidences that would be necessary for that to be the case is long and not worth rehashing. He doesn't have any male relatives that could explain it either. He has one sibling, my aunt, and none of his cousins have ever been in his life, or even remotely local. I look just like my paternal grandfather. I always have. He died when my father was young but by all accounts he was a good father and is remembered fondly.

Next update he'll be cajoled into taking a DNA test anyway and find out that his neighbor (who looks nothing like him) is also the child of his grandfather, and his mom has been having a sordid affair with him for.....

It's just federated chat. You sign up and join a server and choose a mobile app if you need one same as with penny lemmy then use it like a chat app.

I feel like half of these are just experiments to sus out cultural sentiments around taboos and interpersonal relationships. Like it's wrong to cheat on your wife but what if she... or in this case it's wrong to leave your wife over cosmetic reasons but what if I'm just naturally a tiddies man who's afraid of scars? Not gonna give my opinion in either direction it just feels like they're testing out slightly different scenarios each time. Glad I'm finally using resources like this to pull away from reddit altogether.
