  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stuck⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's normal, right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I fast between all my meals, so yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's normal, right?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, must be something else, can’t be my own poor decisions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Based on a true story⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨Call it an excuse. I call it therapy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How about humor?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yemeni shopkeeper during US bombing.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨^_^ I just think skibidibi sounds neat :3⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you from the generation of email chain letters that asked you to scroll down and it’s be neat ASCII designs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3's grip looks the most comfy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3's grip looks the most comfy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As it should be!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've done it again...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  left over spaghetti

  !!!

  But yeah, there’s that whole thing with blood sugar and leftover pasta, I dunno, I’m not a scientist and I have a bad memory, but it’s basically healthier on day two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've done it again...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The last thing I want is to make spaghetti and still be hungry after I eat it. Whole box it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be honest and tell us what you see⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Poop back and forth, forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thinkpad for the win⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was in the Marines and I had to buy some of my shit on my own, so yeah, agree 100%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, sure, maybe in the ensuing lawsuit they could be like hey, her doctor said it was cool, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s a baby being born on an airplane in transit. Nobody wants that, airlines will shut that down, and it’s not discrimination, it’s just a good decision.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious what the difference between how America went about giving slaves citizenship versus countries in Europe. There’s the obvious difference of birthright that’s an issue today, just curious why America ended up here and Europe did not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jus soli is conditional, and doesn’t include hopping on a plane and just visiting a country, the birthing parents have to have established residence in the country. There’s also citizenship granted to children born to parents who are from whichever country it is.

  None of these represent what we see in the US. No country in Europe grants automatic citizenship to children born of foreign parents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure they can. “My doctor said I can!” Well, they say you can’t. Why would a doctor’s note get you on an airplane?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a baby? Use this one weird trick!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally zero European countries do it. It seems to be in the Americas only, and Chad and Tanzania. The concept that this is some human right apparently only applies to he US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nailed it on the head. I think also that you need to include that Canada’s relationship vis-a-vis trade with China will be affected by tariffs the US is placing on Canada, and same with Mexico. I think much of everything is from the viewpoint that China is a bigger problem than Russia at the moment. China is also recovering from some economic turmoil, and one way to do so includes expanding their reach, and so the intent is to limit China in other areas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1987⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was born in '87 and I distinctly recall eating a lot of canned veggies growing up. I’m sure it’s what my mom grew up (in Newark, NJ) eating, and so it probably just passed on down when she was a young mother. I’m curious if canned veggies were just the rage at the time or if it was so because access to the fresh stuff wasn’t as available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, I should’ve mentioned that you definitely won’t. It seems to paint this damned if we do damned if we don’t picture. But it at least paints a picture, versus what can at times feel like this great big unknown. It may also shed some light on some of the motivations for what’s happening. I dunno.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My brother sent this to me the other day and I gave it a watch. It feels pretty unbiased (although I’m uneducated), and seems to have a more macro, zoomed-out view of America and just nations on the whole. I thought it was pretty interesting and it helped to put some things in perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It'll happen to you!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, maybe they misjudged the size of the asteroid and 2032 is it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be fun idk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw Deadmau5 and he stopped to play Rocket League mid show one time. That’s as close as I can get to the prompt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You won’t hear me disagree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think MAGA represents to Republicans what progressives like Bernie and AOC represent to Democrats. Republicans were able to reimagine their party into a form that isn’t just going to follow the status quo that, like you said, has led to a stagnant existence for average Americans over the last 50+ years. And stagnant is probably a nice way of putting it, since buying power has essentially disappeared, on top of wages barely moving.

  So Trump comes in, he says drain the swamp, and you hear that to mean the whole machine, everyone who, for the last 50 years (and some folks have been involved in that government for a good chunk of that 50 years, just perpetuating that status quo) has allowed the rich to get richer at the expense of the working middle class.

  And so you toss on your blinders. You’re not necessarily a bigot, but you believe social issues are a distraction from actual problems (i.e., ones that affect you directly), and you vote in a way that you hope will better your life. It’s hard to blame someone, especially someone just exhausted from grinding through their shitty life, for thinking about themselves. It’s not the right way to think, but I get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gemini wont talk about Bernie Sanders⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dunno if your typo was intentional or not, but all I see in this thread is that somehow a typo is a way to bypass whatever block they have on discussion related to political figures. Which is bonkers. The great minds at the Goog somehow missed a pretty obvious workaround.
