@soigomaa Man, threads like these tear me up. I am blessed to have had a good childhood and to have parents close by. I’ve also semi-recently had my first child. I feel the bittersweetness of watching both my parents and my boy getting older. Caught in the middle. Life is strange.

After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.

@ThatARCGuy Rock.

What’s the most useless ARC Raiders throwable?

@BullyEsq @ayroned This guy gets it

getting me and mom one of these for when the baby wake up in the middle of the night

@DESI0RE What is the advice? I’d love to hear it.

People without children CAN in fact offer people with children parenting advice....

@ronbski3 @ValerieAnne1970 @Rach4Patriarchy Hate to hear that. So what did you guys do? Did he stay home with mom with plans to wait until kindergarten? Trying to plan this stuff out for our son as well. Hoping the wife will get to stay home soon.

Jordan Peterson is awesome. Fortunately I am in a high demand industry and the more I work the more I make. We never even considered anyone else raising our children. I guess it helps we started off that way. At this point we would be losing money if she went back to work. We put our first born in preschool just to prepare him and socialize and it was terrible. The teacher had no patience and my son started crying as soon as we dropped him off. She snatched him up put him inside the door and walked off to let him cry. Not a single comforting word to him. My sister in law was watching the cameras and said they snatched him up during the day too. This is in a the effluent neighborhood and a highly regarded preschool. Of course, when they set him down behind the door and walked off, leaving him crying my wife immediately pulled him out. I went down there and threatened to destroy them online. Be careful out there people.

Jordan Peterson shares a truth most modern families don’t want to hear: “Daycare under three — especially in the first year — is really not advisable. There isn’t any form of care that can replace a mother’s care in those early years.” He calls it “quite remarkable” that we’ve engineered a world where staying home with young children has become a luxury for most families — “as if by design.” Decades of unchanged research shows the critical attachment window in the first 3 years is uniquely supported by consistent, responsive maternal care. Disruptions here correlate with measurable increases in stress reactivity, behavioral issues & emotional difficulties. The question that is frightening to ask: Have we made motherhood incompatible with economic survival on purpose? Parents (especially moms of young kids): Do you feel this pressure — that staying home feels like a luxury you can’t afford? Or have you seen the difference in your own children between early daycare vs. being home those first years?

@TheARCcentral Had guys going to help him at the end. Knew about the sniper. Chose to sit outside of cover in the line of sight of the sniper. Dumb

Raider solos a matriarch Just to get sniped at the end. Brutal

@yearncel Idk man take 15 grams of glycine and you will conk out and wake up feeling nice

Maybe it’s just me but over the years i’ve never felt an ounce of difference from any kind of supplement combination I can buy directly on amazon. All just seems like cope

@heteroplasmic Is that because it is urban?

I think this kind of parenting ‘aesthetic’ is much more appealing and aspirational than the tradwife sourdough sack dress homeschool 21st century does 19th century vibe pushed by Twitter pronatalists.

@ReviewsPossum What studies? Genuinely curious

The father determines the sex of the offspring because he can contribute either a X or Y chromosome (mothers always contribute X). Studies have found that men who work in high-stress environments tend to produce more X-chromosome-carrying sperm. It's believed this is an evolutionary adaptation. During prehistoric times, when a tribe was faced with hardship or disaster, it was beneficial to have more daughters since they would grow up to become mothers and ensure a stable population in the future. When it comes to reproduction, a single male could do the job of a hundred, at least in principle. So it makes the most sense to have more daughters than sons. This property carried over to modern times. High stress (as one might experience in combat or while working a physically demanding or dangerous job) triggers the hormonal changes in a man that favor daughter-producing sperm.

@CaptainCons Coterie are quite good just more expensive. We personally really like Member’s Mark (Sam’s Club) for the value. They are adequate, if a little boxy

Life comes fast One day you’re 28 and watching the Final Four at a bar with your boys Then you blink and you’re 41 arguing with the internet about diapers

@0xgaut We poors enjoy our Evenflo travel systems Lol

one day you’re 25 and the next you’re getting sorted into one of the four stroller houses for your baby

@JAMALIFIED @GinoMachino What’s the date, big guy?

@GinoMachino Without taking a single point of damage is a lie. There are always bones or items stepped on that fling themselves at your leg for physics reasons that don’t make sense.

After months of preparation and practice, I've managed to beat all Elder Scrolls games 1 through 5 in a row without taking a single point of damage. A run many thought would be impossible. If Elder Scrolls 6 comes out in my lifetime (surely) I look forward to doing this again with it included

@interesting_aIl Contract-relax is so useful. This is basically what Progressive Muscle Relaxation videos do for you. This will work for other parts of the body as well!

A neck hack for releasing neck tension in 60 seconds! Do not try if you have existing neck issues

@Watchman_motto I’m like you, it doesn’t feel like an issue. However, eventually the tracks deepen and the hump grows. It will scrape vehicle undercarriages and potentially start a fire. Drag it, rock it. We have a box blade for a tractor for this purpose

I share about 100 yards of drive way with my ~70yr old neighbors. For some reason he’s obsessed with knocking down the center grass in the middle of the tire ruts and covering it with gravel. He talks about it all the time, probably 30% of all conversations I have with him are about this. He’s asking if I want to pitch in for more gravel, etc. When I put my parents in a guest house behind the barn, my dad started talking about it too. He got some roundup and sprayed his section of road. Am I missing something here? I see no problem with it. It looks fine. It occupies 0% of my mind. I’m prepared to spend 0 dollars to remedy this “problem” What is happening?

@notivagoanciao @portugassis I’m the same way Lol

@portugassis Não consigo ser fdp em jogos, dou bom dia pra todo mundo mundo e obedeço a lei, fazer o que

Em Crimson Desert você pode invadir a casa da galera à noite, entrando sorrateiramente pela janela, render o morador dormindo, enfiar a porrada nele até te dar dinheiro e depois deixar ele amarrado enquanto você saqueia o resto da casa. Só vale a pena em casas de nobres, que vão ter dinheiro e itens de valor. Depois você vai na igreja mais próxima, compra o perdão divino e está tudo certo 👍

@wrong_speak I’m no pro IT guy, but often am the de facto IT guy where I work. This happens all the time. Judge is a prick for venting his stress on that guy

I've been there. The IT guy was actually trying to keep things light. I cant tell you how many times I've gone to someone's desk, who swears on every person they love that there is a massive problem and there isnt. I think it's usually because people are rushing and overlook a step or type stuff incorrectly. But when I show up, they calmly do it to prove it's not working, not realizing it was a user issue the entire time. The tech was trying to minimize the issue so the job doesnt think there is this massive technological issue. So essentially, F this judge.

@David_psicologo My compassion for him wore thin after having to listen to his lines over and over on the long trip back to Hernand Town

Crimson Desert te rompe el corazón 💔 Una de las misiones de forajido me llevó más allá de las montañas para capturar a Simon de Montfort; un tipo cuyo delito era robar miel.😂 Los aldeanos lo describen como alguien bastante molesto y raro pero cuando lo capturas Simon sólo dice: ¨¿Qué más iba a querer un oso sino miel?¨ Simon fue un niño al que le dijeron que esperara con un tarro de miel mientras su madre lo abandonó... y él nunca dejó de esperar. Nunca dejó de comer miel con la esperanza de que volviera. La historia de Simon refleja cómo el trauma puede hacer que desarrollemos conductas compulsivas como la de comer miel hasta reventar para no sentir el profundo sentimiento de abandono y cómo Simon terminó por creer que era insuficiente ya que su propia madre lo abandonó y le hizo sentir que no era nadie importante.💔 Simon regresaba cada día al pueblo con la esperanza de encontrar a su madre. Algo que nunca pasaría. Por eso decidí entregarlo a las autoridades ya que al menos así tendría un hogar. ¿Lo dejasteis libre? 👀 @CrimsonDesert_

@GamingSinceNES I got the cloak at the shai village in a chest behind a shed building. Force punch the wooden planks

I get the Crow helmet and chest in Crimson Desert and I think, "Hmm... where do I get the cloak, gloves and boots? 🤔" so I give in and I look it up. Yeah... 😒 I'm looking everything up from now on cause there's no way I was finding all those other pieces without help. 😐

@SpawnYaardReply I did the honey eater bounty and that one alone has turned me off on bounties until they add more drop points. I’m not gonna listen to those voice lines over and over again. Lol

Bounties in Crimson Desert are a bit of a pain.😑 Look at this video that is sped up👀 There is only one place where you can drop bounties, so irrespective of where you pick up the person, you gotta go all the way down to drop them off and collect bounty 🫤

@BalashNash @ArcRaiderAlerts Is this with crossplay turned on? I play on PC + crossplay off and I feel like I can talk to anyone

@ArcRaiderAlerts None of the above. Not even rats. It feels like fewer and fewer people are using voice chat these days, claiming they don't have a microphone, but for me, that was the most fun part of interacting with others.
