wha? Nobody wants to touch the possibly underage girl? Phrasing! Also, I couldn't comment earlier, because I just spotted this thread. Also also, I have no fucking idea about what I just saw.

apparently, every now and then...... they just pick a phrase from a song and offer up short video representations.
Another one is small waist, pretty face and big bank (ass)
I've seen a couple before this one........but this young lady struck me as a prime example of how deceptive looks can be.......especially with a skilled hand with make-up

Aren't the kids in Aussieland getting up to all sorts of weird internet challenges and trends?

Well, you're more sociable than me, I think?
And you have at least one offspring?
And you still play video games.......no younger connections in that arena?
Plus, you're online.......soooooooo

1. I do get along with the Mrs very well.
2. I remember......... you didn't do any Dad stuff earlier?
3. Really? I stopped playing pretty much after Super Mario World and the controllers got more than 6 buttons. I just assumed you big time players hooked up with others online. My cuz is always playing either war games or space travel stuff with others.
4. No point, really. I was just leading with the faulty impression that you're more friendly and sociable than I am. I'ma have to keep you on speed dial.

Of course, but the internet seldom featured in our activities together back then. We played sports together, watched films and TV and played offline video games against one another... amongst other things. 3. I prefer to rely on myself to achieve my gaming goals in GTAO. If I played other games, I might take a different approach with them... but I don't, so I won't. 4. As I've indicated before, I have nothing against people... at a distance or in small numbers.

1. Yes...... I mean No. I don't think I've ever lived alone for very long. Always found a way to pick up a roommate or partner within a few months.
2. Trust me...... more than most people, I can totally understand how even the whole 'Blood is thicker than water' saying doesn't always hold up to scrutiny.
3. I get that. I'm pretty much that way offline, too
4. I'm the same. Once their numbers start to grow, I start looking for the exit door. Now that I'm in my 5th decade, I'm noticing even funerals are social events that I attend out of respect, but quickly look to get over with.

1. It was something I always wanted to try... and I even had a few brief, but tantalizing experiences over the years. However, I didn't go "professional" until about 7 or 8 years ago... and once I did, I never looked back. In fact, it probably contributed to the estrangement about 6 years ago. 2. I have no idea if that's an issue or not... He might be just as stubborn as I am. 3. Even when I went back to further education, I found I preferred to work alone rather than in groups. Pass or fail, I prefer to do it on my own merits... and I don't see why I should give someone a free ride on my skillset. Gaming is just a natural extension of this. 4. Know the feeling. I didn't even attend my mother's funeral. My lad preferred to go to school and I drove to the town where her care facility was located, to pick up her effects and belongings and pay any outstanding bills.

1. Interesting. Well, I'm glad it's turned out to suit you for the best.
2. Not that there's anything wrong with that, too.
3. Totally get meritocracy. I've always favored a similar type of situation in the workplace, as well. The better or more efficient I do something, I should reap the rewards.
4. That is probably something I'm going to have to confront in the next decade. I'm thinking I'll do a bare minimum to continue to show respect......but that's about as far as that goes.

1. So far so good. 2. Not at all... it's good to see he's a chip off the old block, with the chip on his shoulder. 3. I did most of the real work at home... then socialized in class. 4. I loved Mum... but the old woman they paid their respects to that day bore little resemblance to her, especially after years of steadily growing dementia. It's one thing to lose someone suddenly, to a traffic accident or a heart attack, but it's something else to watch them disappear, a piece at a time, over the course of several years. I've been to my fair share of funerals over the years. It's bad enough when it's someone else's family member, but when it's your own? Forget it...

2. Funny and understandable sense of patriarchal pride.
4. That is one thing for modern times........ people seem to want to live longer.........but at the same time seem to be oblivious to just how many others are not going out gracefully in their sleep. Parkinsons and similar diseases are absolutely horrible afflictions. Truly sad for all involved.

4. "One thing for modern times"? I was under the impression that had always been a thing... I plan to live forever... or die trying.

Have you seen any Tom Segura stand-up? "People say 'I wanna live to be 100!'.....REALLY? Have you seen 80?"

The trick is to control the aging process. And not all 80-year-olds are the same...
