I've never been more glad in my life that my dad had to return his smart phone because he couldn't figure out how to make calls on it.
But could he porn?
I found his collection once as a kid, so I know the answer is yes. But that is already more than I ever wanted to know.
My dad's collection was on the magazine rack in the bathroom.
That must’ve made for some awkward shits… or some pleasant ones…
Ah, the old shit wank
The '70s were a different time.
You prolly got less mental bags than most of Christian background peeps on this issue lol
Same lol
I guess it depends on the age. Mine’s pretty young. He just turned 41.
As a 41 year old man, that's abnormal behaviour. Wtf is wrong with him? Does he have friends, colleagues, family and a spouse in there and do they want to know his taste in porn?
Mah gawd
He does.
Is he aware he does this shit? Does he delete them in the morning when he's sober? Do you know if anyone has talked to him as asked "what the actual fuck?"
Like this is going to significantly and negatively affect his social life, and craters job prospects if he ever has to go on the job hunt again.
Like maybe he needs to be shown how to favorite things instead of posting it to FB to find later?
I'm not particularly happy about it, but many years ago (like 2007-ish) I had to have a talk with my father (in his late 40s at the time) about how to clear browsing history on the shared family desktop. And again about private browsing mode a year or two later when that came to IE and other browsers outside of Firefox.
They usually get deleted quite fast by the FB filter. You just have to be… unfortunate enough to see them during the first minutes in your feed. I told him, be careful what you post when you drink. He’s like: “wdym, I AM careful”. Proceeds to do it again. I’m honestly starting to believe this might be an exhibitionism thing that pops out of him like that due to alcohol lowering inhibitions.
Is he technologically disinclined?
Could have some sort of medical condition. My dad could probably manage a smartphone except he has MS which makes using a touchscreen or small buttons very difficult. I could see any sort of nerve damage to the hands doing the same.
Except for the commentary sentences above the links. Eugh.
Mine is pushing 90. He also pretty much stayed in the 1970s and so peak technology for him is a two-tone Dodge conversion van with an 8-track player.
360 carpet, old sofa, a couple bean bags. speakers everywhere. beer cooler in the middle. sweet ride.
Oh yeah. And seats for the table (which turns into a bed or course) are the speaker boxes. You want it to sound like John Denver is holding a concert right there in the van... until the 8-track goes CACHUNK to change tracks.
God your dad sounds cool
