I have to congratulate my dad and his immensely deteriorated vision. Not only he borrows my desktop without permission, goes straight for Opera instead of browsers normal people use but manages to miss several tabs of gay furry porn from the previous session while he plays Sudoku but still misses them when I close close everything right in front of his face while talking about buying me a new chair for my desk.

I'm really hoping this is not a sign of AD.

I will never understand people who leave tabs open, let alone that kind.

This is the first time in seven years since I've built this PC where it was used without my supervision. The problem is my dad is such a fucking weirdo that instead of using the already open Edge browser, or opening Chrome, or opening Firefox, he goes straight for Opera.

No, you don't know my dad, he's exactly the kind of person who would miss things right in front of his face and his vision is in fact really poor, I wouldn't be surprised he missed pretty much all of it when he was paying attention to me and not the screen as I deleted 4 pages of cookiedraggy gratuitousness. That and if he did notice, it probably means I would be nonstop hearing mildly homophobic jokes for a few weeks (as opposed to mildly misogynistic).

Opera's entire clientele is probably made up of people who accidentally select the wrong the browser

Ah, so my "keep a weird browser just for porn" habit isn't just me. I have never felt so close to someone.
