Yeah, but I can chastise people. I get nothing out of chastising AI.
- Comment on how did you and your partner change after having a baby? 4 days ago:
When kids start to communicate, it gets so much better. Mine are 7 and 4 now and so we are over that hump (and only have three bedrooms and) permanently, but babies are frustrating AF, and that frustration rubs off on everything. My daughter, I can sit and really talk with her and find out about her day and her needs and her desires. My son is still a buffoon but I get glimpses of an actual person in there, and I love it.
Things are definitely harder when your kids are younger. They don’t communicate, you get frustrated, your partner is obviously frustrated as well, and it unfortunately carries into your relationship. My wife and I write letters to each other as the year goes along and plop them in a box. I do my best to not make it this rosy depiction of a wonderful life. I unload how some times can be difficult. It helps me remember that shit ain’t always perfect, and that’s that. It helps me let go of some negative feelings, and remember that some issues are acute for any number of reasons.
I always joke with people that I didn’t form this immediate bond with my children. I’m not sure it’s even a joke, but I make it a joke now, because my bond with them is immense now. The joke now is that I love them both so much more than their mom, and my wife understands it completely. And it’s not because of some love lost over the last 11+ years I’ve been with my wife, but that this relationship with my kids has just grown to a level I didn’t quite understand before.
So I dunno, I try to compartmentalize some of the bad times. They sure have existed. I try to remember that there’s always some rationale for intolerable behavior, and that sometimes you can’t just wish that trigger away, and that we need to just eat shit for a bit. And so that letter to my wife frequently helped me communicate about those times I was a less than ideal partner, as well as the times she was. And surely it was a vent for the times our kids could be little monsters.

I’m from Jersey (New). I go down the shore, and while down the shore I go to the beach. This is how it’s always been and always will be (until the shore comes up to me because we’ve destroyed the environment)!

Once again, a shitpost that gets dissected to death. Don’t worry OP, you’ll get them next time, Lemmy just can’t help itself.

Yeah, not even clicking on them works, that was my first test. I don’t care though, I know what it’s supposed to do, it’s more about using a moving picture to get a feeling across, and so long as it works for all yous guys, I’m happy.

Jerboa.

Hey thanks for letting me know. I’ll take a boost wherever I can get it.

Funny. Doesn’t work for me. And I’m the one who put it there! Good to know though, I can stop adding disclaimers to failed gifs.

Maybe he’s doing a reverse Joaquin Phoenix, going from music artist to actor, just with more antisemitism.

- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, the complaining about spotify’s free tier is something I just don’t get. I grew up listening to the goddamn radio. No choice in what to listen to and ads all the time. But when your jam came on, it felt great every time.
I’m on a family plan with some friends. I’ve discovered a ton of new music because of Spotify. I’ve gone to many shows, bought merch, vinyls, for bands I never would’ve known had it not been for Spotify.
I’m just not sure what people want, but it reeks of entitlement. If you’re gonna pirate music, by all means, go to town. Nobody cares.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I go on Reddit and come here and I nod along and I’m like yes, yes, and then I leave and sometimes it feels like coming up from being underwater. We are quite literally surrounded in propaganda. It has never been easier to disseminate opinions, especially when the majority of our communications (mine for sure) come via text on a screen. It is in every single facet of our lives.
And so I talk to my brother and he always tries to get me to think more, he’s a smart guy. He says things like “Who benefits the most” from whatever, opinion I’ve talked to him about, and so frequently it goes back to corporations. I don’t want to get overtly political, but personally the best way I try to think about things is linearly: this thing we are talking about, trace it to its logical end point and origin. And then feel helpless again.

Well, what are the fundraisers for? They have them by me, for PTO, for the band, for sports, etc. Extracurriculars. We’re not fundraising for school lunches and books (yet).
- Comment on What would this list look like for your generation? 4 weeks ago:
It’s a slippery slope between saying something ironically and having it become part of your lexicon.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 4 weeks ago:
It used to be so much more Linux, but replacing that with politically charged statements parading as memes isn’t a much better alternative. My two least favorite parts of Lemmy are how every conversation is somehow just one degree of separation from Linux or Nazis. Meme about dogs? Now the conversation is about genocide.
- Comment on Put him on the cart. 5 weeks ago:
You know, it should be obvious, but until you brought it up here, I was guilty of thinking of it as just some colloquialism (which it very well may be). But if you think of the suffix -oid, taking “humanoid” for example, you get something that isn’t presenting itself as a human. But I didn’t come to that conclusion, I just was like, wow, they bop the Pope with a hammer.
So thanks.

Have a daughter also, so I know it all too well! Our focus is “It’s normal but private.” We will see how that goes.

My wife texted me the other day:
You know that yellow slide out son carries around? Well, he started sticking his penis in it, you have to talk to him now.
He’s 4. It’s just what boys do.

I have a three year loan at 1.9%. Why would I cough up an additional $20k now, when I could hang on to my cash and, at the very least, leave it in an account that earns twice that (and then some) in interest?
- Comment on We are so cooked 1 month ago:
Say what you will about RFK, but he’s broken clock right on a couple of issues, pesticides being one of them. Sure, maybe his rationale isn’t right, but his end game may be a benefit. Unfortunately it’s at odds with Trump’s complete destruction of regulation, but he (RFK) seems to be chugging along. I think making America healthy is good; I don’t think pesticides or ultra processed foods make kids transgender.

Ha, I told a joke in middle school and they had to call the police, so I feel ya. It was 25 years ago.

- Comment on Yemeni shopkeeper during US bombing. 1 month ago:
It’s weird, when I’m around my kids, I feel like my ability to make decisions is improved, I feel like I’m less prone to any sort of panic. There’s something about having them with me, I suppose it’s that I know that I need to be the one to “figure things out,” that helps me see things more clearly. Or perhaps I’ve just matured a bit. Or perhaps life has just beaten me down so much that nothing is new.

Scrolled far too long to find even a mention of Zebra. Uniball is the intro to good pens, but Zebra is where you land.
