Person after my own heart

OP is the correct answer. The reason vampires can't enter homes is because of the positive mental energy built up around the house as a threshold. Giving consent to a vampire to enter is allowing them a pocket through the threshold. Said threshold is built up through regular living. A family home with a stay at home mom and three kids will have a stronger threshold than an apartment lived in by a two-job worker. Some stronger vampires can break through weaker thresholds (depending on source). There are multiple supernatural beings that this threshold can (supposedly) stop, not just vampires. So just because someone else tells them they have legal permission to enter a home doesn't mean they'll be able. It's magic, not legality.

-What do you do for a living now? (Without doxing yourself)

-How do your son's friends respond to you being so young?

-How is your relationship with your son?

Not a movie but rather a season, Your Lie in April. It's around a 7 hour series so sorta super deluxe extended edition movie adjacent if you're up for that. Fireflies and Silent Voice have already been mentioned, this is the honorary third place in my opinion.

The tankies are far and away the largest problem. It's the number one reason why lemmy hasn't grown. Even when I signed up years ago from the reddit exodus every post I saw was heavily cautioned with "it's filled with tankies". And now every mention of it is being scrubbed for that reason. The second problem is the smaller size but see reason 1 for that.

Third problem is the sign up process being so excruciating. I understand it's to prevent bots but for every 2 bots it's preventing it's probably also preventing 1 actual user from signing up. I love this place despite the small size, because I can just sequester off all the tankies entirely on Connect, but if the creators don't realize they're actively standing in the way of growth by the actions they're taking and step away from all their moderation actions to focus on administration and development instead the outlook doesn't look too great.

Was convinced into one by (what seemed like at the time) a fairly cool lady who was married, husband had his own couple girlfriends, was an open marriage all above board, I thought I'd broaden my horizons and see how it went. She had no one outside the marriage and it quickly became VERY apparent why, hoo boy was that woman a horrible horrible person when she wasn't pretending to be likeable. Never gonna mess around with that again, monogamy or nothing for me.

It's because the south is VERY Democrat but the north is full of republican rednecks which skews the electoral map

How do you reconcile their views on deportation, human trafficking, LGBT stuff, etc etc etc etc etc with you finding them to be a "wonderful" person? Personally anyone who believes in what Trump is doing is by definition a monster and any niceties they may show other people is either psychopathy or because you happen to be the right color. It's like the standard bad date test; if they're a shitheel to their server, they'll eventually be a shitheel to you too.

The fact that NH motto is "live free or die" and yet it's the only place within like 1000 miles in any direction you can still get in shit over a joint is laughable
