May more folks listen to you in 2026 than before! This is a lovely little island of sanity on an increasingly insane Internet. May our Father bless you and yours.
Happy new year! I had the best new years eve ever. Started a bit slow, but then some gamma neighbor started making a problem about me throwing bombs out at 10:30 on new years eve. Obviously I called 5 more guys with fireworks significantly stronger than mine. Man, that was so hilarious, what did the guy really think would happen?
I took my mom and son out for dinner at our favorite restaurant/resort on the (now frozen) lake. Had a good dinner, but the strangest thing happened: somehow we got on the topic of the evils of circumcision and both male and female genetical mutilation. I know, not the most savory (pre) dinner conversation, but when you are talking with your intellectually curious son, you never know what will come up. Conversations have a flow, and that is simply what came up. I was telling him, "well, at least we didn't get you circumcised." He didn't know that only Islam and Judaism practice that sick child abuse tactic. I had just told him that when something happened. Well, there was a guy at the next table over who was with a very unbeautiful date (a woman whose non-beauty I had unavoidably seen around town for a few years), who turned around and started to complain about our topic of conversation. He was obviously very triggered. And also seemed to be trying to impress his date or something. It was like a demon had been set off. Very odd. I told him to mind his own business, and that if he wanted to have the manager come over, to go and do it. He started to hem and haw. I said, "Look buddy, I don't tolerate people eavesdropping on our conversation and causing trouble. I am not going to talk to you again. " And turned around. I could sense he anger at being shut down. I felt he had an urge to physically attack, but probably wouldn't, because: 1. He'd be guilty of assault, and my son and I would be engaged in legitimate self-defense to put him down 2. He was a cowardly bully and 3. My son is a power-lifter. His next move: he literally "told on us" to the waitress. Just like the sniveling type we all know from grade school who told on you at the playground. My son said, "I hate snitches." And then he "told on us" to the owner's wife. Haha. Anyway, just a little odd anecdote. Has anyone else found themselves inadvertently triggering weirdos like that for simply talking a little truth? What the? Happy New Year. Be strong. Blessings.

You did the right thing. Doubt I would have been so polite about it.
I actually pondered, "What would Giuseppe have done?" (WWGHD or WWGD) later that evening. And I came to the same conclusion.
Probably would have told him to fuck off because his shrivelled cut dick was not my problem.
