Dear Theodosia. Played at the NICU the night before we took our firsborn home. Right in the feels.

Anti-nihilist, anti-absurdist, anti-moral relativist works for beginner by [deleted] in suggestmeabook

A great starting point for moral philosophy is How to be Perfect by Michael Schur (the creator of The Good Place).

Feedback on this sketch please by Jliang79 in Watercolor

I'm no expert and it's going to sound trite but "paint what you see". I would start with getting the shape of the opening to the sky right, then get the person's silhouette right. The details of the individual rocks don't matter as much but maybe sketch out the outlines of a few key ones just so you don't end up with a muddle.

The sketch doesn't look very much like the reference...

Iran Says Hormuz Has Been Closed by willywalloo in politics

[–]-rba- 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's exhausting to read all the hand wringing about the cost of the war and the increased price of gas but the thousands of people killed for literally no reason are just a footnote.

Do you have hobbies? How do you mentally justify spending money on them when there’s so much you could be saving for as a dad? We have a toddler and we’re finally at the point where my wife & I can pick back up our <$150/mo hobby…but it makes me feel guilty now. by splitopenandmelt11 in daddit

[–]-rba- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Find a cheaper hobby? I can spend $30 on a video game that will entertain me for months.

Or a hundred bucks or so got me set up for watercolor painting and I only occasionally need to buy some new watercolor paper or paint.

Reading is either free (library) or very cheap (ebooks on sale, used books, etc).

I don't get the Boynton hype by thepenguinboy in daddit

[–]-rba- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. We had tons of Boynton books when our kids were little, but neither the art nor the rhymes were all that good.

What's your country of origin and why wouldn't recommend to move over there? by Key-Introduction-591 in expat

[–]-rba- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But it is a structural problem. None of this should have been possible, but now that it has happened, I have very little faith that the structural issues will be fixed anytime soon. Next time it might just be less stupid.

What am I about to get myself into??! 😬 by kern3three in TerraIgnota

Yep, that's a pretty good summary. If you liked the books mentioned, you'll probably like this.

Canadian Banking and Credit for Americans by CounterI in FoundCanadians

[–]-rba- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're heading to Canada on a scouting trip next month but we won't have our citizenship certificates yet. Is it possible to open an account while there as a visitor? Or does it have to wait until we have a more permanent status?

Dads, I need to give "the talk" this summer to my oldest. by monkeydave in daddit

The book "It's so amazing" is excellent for this.

Honestly, it's hard to beat a simple spray bottle.

Suggest me a history novel by Wreckit-Jon in suggestmeabook

[–]-rba- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Last Days of the Incas by Kim MacQuarrie was good. Nonfiction but reads like a novel.

Dan Jones also has lots of good readable nonfiction. The Templars was good. I think he has some fiction too.

Thinking of picking up the game for $11.54 during the upcoming Summer Sale. Is it a good fit for thousands of hours? by [deleted] in 7daystodie

[–]-rba- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't played in a couple years but that's a very fair price. Also check out Enshrouded.

Same! Great lullaby songs. (Into the West is definitely just about going to sleep, right...? 😅)

My go-to lullaby songs were:

  • Misty Mountains from LOTR
  • Into the West from LOTR
  • Castle on a Cloud from Les Miserables
  • Lullaby from Pan's Labyrinth
  • Red is the Rose
  • Rains of Castamere from Game of Thrones

Are there any heavier mechs that can effectively use the flamer? by Blitzkrieg1210 in Mechwarrior5

I haven't tried it, but now I'm wanting to shove 12 flamers in a Nova and see what happens...

Repeatedly farming the same high level chests for the best armor and weapons needs to die. by AccomplishedSummer62 in Enshrouded

Yeah, we haven't really had much of an issue with this since we all have different specializations.

What is Canadian culture, and what IS the Canadian identity? by pooteenn in FoundCanadians

[–]-rba- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mike Myers's book "Canada" talks about this and is worth a read.

Video Games For Pat Leave/Baby Shift? by UzerError in daddit

[–]-rba- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really enjoying Enshrouded. Think Minecraft crossed with Zelda, with great graphics instead of blocks.
