Just finished watching The Day of the Jackal on Peacock. I enjoyed it, especially that a few loose ends were wrapped up nicely. And they left themselves a good plot for the 2nd season which has been confirmed. There are tons of plot holes, but if you can overlook that, it's a fun watch.
Watched episode 6 yesterday afternoon. Did not expect that ending at all.

I badly wanna message a relative this Christmas Day and tell him how much I hate him and how much of a worthless scumbag and see you next Tuesday he is. And so many other mean things.

Someone talk me out of it. Not because it’s wrong, but because he doesn’t deserve to hear from me.

If I do this on Christmas he’s going to think I’m having a miserable one. But I struggle with the urge to do this several times a week.

New Years may be better. I’d love to tell him happy new year! Another year closer to your death you piece of shit.

This is not a good idea. Live your own life for you, not to spite someone else.

I have a similar situation with my father and I don’t even think about him unless I get reminded. No interest in talking to him today or any other day, not even to brag about how I’ve done well despite his bullshit.

I think you should do the same. It helps my sanity a lot to just go full no contact and stick to that.

Morally, I do not want to be spiteful to people. All bets are off when it comes to him.

I've been feeling fine after screaming about it with my friends and their family earlier. But I will go full blown verbal e-assault him if I ever hear from him again, because he does have a number that I don't know of to preemptively block it. He's blocked on the line I know of. Unfortunately, we know there are ways to circumvent the block, which he's not tried to do at all.

Maybe if he croaks I'll get a little money. I'll take it, but I won't be upset if I don't get it. However, if he dies with nothing, potter's field he goes. I won't put in a penny for any of that. Mr. Blue Collar Working Man should have had enough money to do away with his remains. If he didn't work hard enough to have any money to honorably do away with himself after he was gone then that's his problem. Now of course those aren't my thoughts on that. I have sympathy for those who die without money to pay for themselves to be buried/cremated, but he doesn't and that's exactly what he'd say to me if I died without a penny and he had to pay for me to be cremated. I've already made sure he has no access to anything I leave behind. I can imagine him outliving me and inheriting my half a million dollar home or the rights to it if he's somehow ''Next of kin''.

Sorry you also have a similar relationship or should I say no relationship with your dad as I do with mine. I don't long for a good relationship with him at all. I just wish I wasn't made to feel like nothing by him. And by nothing I don't mean like I don't matter to him as a son, but nothing as in I can't even say I look good.

While not at all the same temperature of your emotions, anonymously send him one of these:

I do feel like it might make you feel better initially but it also opens a line of communication you don't necessarily want to continue. Plus, if you initiate, it looks like you care. Silence shows you don't or at least don't want to give the gratification of them being in your thoughts. Maybe anonymously send of those dildo mailer things or a confetti bomb. Those are fun.
