    At 16, her personality is visible, and her taste in partners has probably shown. If she’s into guys with ties to drugs, violence, etc, this might actually be a step up.

    It still has the glaringly obvious issues OP was asking about, but you don’t always get to choose the cards you’re dealt. This could be the least harmful choice available.

    There is so much additional context needed to say with any confidence. The first thought would be that he can be a good provider (i.e. money) and her other prospects are not very promising. Another could be power, and how that could be extended to the family.

    There’s yet another possibility that they aren’t actually ok with it, but are only presenting that face in public. Teenage girls are notoriously hard to control, and this might be the fastest/easiest way to get her to end it or learn a lesson.

    There are still a number of other possibilities, many involving religion, that there’s no way to know which might apply to your situation.


  • Thinkpads are extremely well documented. For how to repair/replace parts, you need the HMM. Just Google for “Thinkpad t14 Gen 1 HMM” and you should find the official PDF on their site. That will tell you, step by step, how to replace the keyboard.

    As for the part itself, you can again check Lenovo’s site for all compatible parts (FRUs) and find the item number and details. While I wouldn’t recommend buying directly from them due to cost, this should give you the information needed to find it elsewhere. eBay has tons of Thinkpads being sold for parts, and many of these will be parted out. You should have no issues finding what you’re looking for.




  • You are helping - they clearly need the additional training, and you’re doing everything you can to supply that. Their job can’t be relying on you.

    They shouldn’t (and almost certainly don’t) have delegation authority.

    For corporate bingo, the keywords are upskill, cross-training, and bus factor.


  • Don’t show. Guide them to do it themselves. Never be the one to actually do it beyond the first time.

    If they still refuse to learn, make them take notes. Make them read to you their notes from last time. Make them tell you what each step is and means.

    Make asking you the hardest option for them to get what they want.



  • There isn’t just one reason. The biggest one currently can be directly tied back to porn. It’s also not just the simple existence of porn, but with our excessive consumption of it.

    The fact that nearly all porn is the same in this regard is also a factor. There’s also a generational factor, in that younger people experienced almost-exclusively shaved partners and porn in their formative years.
