It hurts my mind when you say it was before your time and you never had kids when it was popular. You’re both too young and too old to have watched Teletubbies.

I was 10 when it came out, fortunately, otherwise I may have grown up watching what appears to me to have been such a strange show. I recall it coming out and it being very weird.

I’ve taken less work than I could, making less money (still fortunate to make what I make), because I get to see my kids more. Kids are also a huge pain in the ass sometimes, and so I won’t leave my wife with more of a burden than I have myself. We’re a team, and we’re a family. When they get older and more independent, maybe I’ll put the hammer down and make more money, but right now I have the perfect balance and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Unfortunately, probably gonna have to go bash Nazis eventually.

She won the lottery and took the annuity.

Yeah, I turn down invitations to go out after my nighttime board meetings if it means I get home in time to put my kids to bed. I take them to school in the morning and pick them up just about every day. Sometimes they get on every single one of my nerves, but I love being home with them, playing with them, making dinners that they complain about and it makes my blood boil. It’s all part of the package. The whole idea of the silent workaholic dad is just crazy to me. I want to be the one who takes them to the park.

Yeah, OneDrive became an instant uninstall for me because of how it works. I have 2TB of empty cloud storage that I would love to use, but refuse to completely rework my file structure. I am not going to move literally everything. I’ll let you read my boring ass work shit, I don’t care, I let Google do it probably when I upload shit to drive, I just want to organize things the way I have them, because that’s how they work.

They made this pretty sweet advertisement!

So just drink 110 gallons of water a day, got it.

Jokes on the cops, my finger barely works half the time and I have to end up doing my doodle.

I read that he “surreptitiously” gave them to her, which tonme implied some kind of sneaking. On the other hand, I’m confident she was clearly aware of everything but never went public because then they lose all that money.

I switched to Lawnchair when Google starting messing with the search bar. They added features right where my thumb would press to use the search bar, so I was constantly opening an AI search that I did not want. Lawnchair let me stick with a launcher I liked and was used to, but gave me the customizability to get rid of bullshit like that.

And I generally don’t like change, and I certainly don’t want to have to do any work to facilitate a change that I don’t like in the first place, but Lawnchair was incredibly easy to set up and go. Runs basically like an app, you change your default launcher to Lawnchair (and I assume this step is similar for any launcher you’d use), and bam, runs on top of everything and that’s that. Simplicity is key for a simple guy like me.

I changed mine finally after Google kept adding shit to the search bar, specifically AI stuff. And it was conveniently placed right where my thumb had pressed prior to the implementation of this new shitty feature.

I went from the stock Google launcher on Pixel (still using my 6a, til it dies) to Lawnchair. Lawnchair is essentially the stock Google launcher, but I could get rid of stupid features. It looks and performa nearly identically.

What are you talking about? Bald eagle populations are thriving and they’ve been removed from the endangered species list. Are there still shitsheads? Always will be.

We’re in shitpost. Sources should be banned here. This post is dangerously close to just more political shit, but bigfoot fortunately saves the day. We don’t need to get serious. In fact, being serious is the antihesis of shitposting.

This advertisement is exaggerating, I would say.

It’s all shitposts, all the time!

Excellent shitpost, I believe that’s what it’s called.

I don’t want to mess around with punctuation. It’s the same with height. Six foot? Great! 1.91 meters? What even is that!

Let’s remember where we are here everyone.

Yeah, it was 7F when I walked the kids to school this morning. 0C would’ve felt like a nice spring afternoon.

Got into crypto December 2017, which was a high back then, and then everything dropped 50%. But just held on. And so even though I’ve made a nice chunk of change since then, I’ll still hang on and wait for it to happen again.

I did the corona investathon as well. I’m not sure I have any of the same holdings I did then.

I think of it all as gambling, and I treat it as such. I have an $800 limit, because if I lose $800 it doesn’t hurt too bad, but if it goes up 1000% (looking at you BMR, you sweet sweet whatever you are), then you make a bunch. So just gambling.

Then there’s the retirement vehicles. Booioorrrrriiiiinnnnnggggg

I posted before seeing yours here but it really comports with what I believe to be good parenting, and you also gave some good rationale, such as regressions and change of school. Young children absolutely respond in drastic fashion to big changes, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

And societal norms are huge too. I always joke that there’s no pressure quite like peer pressure, and that a child who’s maybe a little delayed in their maturity will have a fire put under them when they see themselves getting left behind by their peers. I had my kids in daycare from six months, because I fully believe that being surrounded by members of your cohort is hugely important in development. On the first day of public preschool, you can tell which kids had some form of daycare prior and which kids spent the last three or four years with mom, dad, or a grandparent.
