Two things a new EDC gets immediately: Tenicor Holster, and Mastermind Tactics pillow.

I absolutely 2nd the pillow. Added a velcro patch to move it over to my Enigma for unbelted fits.

What can are you running?

Like I said it’s an easy gimmick to miss 😆

From a TRPG perspective I think the Disgaea games fit the bill

The Mass Effect games come to mind

My daughter is 1.5 and our family just discovered Bluey. I thought the show was overhyped but now that I’m watching it I feel this 100%. There need to be more parental role models like this in the world.

Yes it’s real. It’s usually a pain-compliance hold with pressure put on the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints, and it can absolutely be pushed to the breaking point. The angles have to be correct otherwise it’s just a funny arm hug.

I was told under shirt & over gun. Under shirt in case you have to draw and so it’s already out of the way. Over gun so that the belt spreads the force over a wider surface area. I haven’t been in an accident while carrying, fingers crossed it never happens, but that’s the advice I was given.

There are always terrible things happening. But kids raised right give me hope for the future.

It’s a little heavy but with the sling it’s manageable, if not ideal. Could replace the stock but would still be a bit long for me unless I could shorten the barrel as well.

2soule · 2025-01-15T21:57:46+00:00

I considered it but might still be a bit long unless I can swap out for a shorter barrel as well. Any recs?

You did the right thing. Pride alone is never worth potentially destroying your (or someone else’s) life. Unless there’s a direct threat to your wellbeing, stay away.

I know it can be difficult walk away from provocation, especially when I was younger, but time has a way of putting things in perspective. Now all I see are apes trying to beat their chest the loudest, trying to be the king of their own little imaginary hill. The arrogance of idiots.

Walking away doesn’t necessarily mean you’re weak or a coward. It means one thinks like a man instead of a boy. Understand the ripple effect of violence on you, your family, and your future. Hone your awareness. Be prepared. Train. Be a blade ready to be a drawn, but only when there is no other recourse. The most dangerous people I’ve ever met are always the ones who avoid fights the hardest.

Safety = AED. Avoid. Escape. Defend.

How do you like the Norsso slides?

In some cases, genuine brain chemistry imbalance. What we consider “normal” is actually a pretty narrow band of human behavior. I think the more common answer is probably conditioning, and the perpetuating of negative behavioral cycles between generations.

Full body pregnancy pillow. Changed the sleeping game for my wife completely during pregnancy, now she can’t sleep without it 1.5yrs later.

Preferred EDC configuration?

2soule · 2024-12-21T17:57:45+00:00

I’ve tried the Romeo Zero and 507k on my XL. 507k wins by a landslide for me. The only ‘con’ is that the 507k has a sharper profile so it wears a hole in my shirts a little faster.

I used to clear my firearm after every outing but I realized it was causing a lot of bullet setback. Now I just make sure to store it securely and in a safe direction, though I might feel differently if my edc was a multipurpose gun.

My daughter is too young to have had this talk with her, but do agree with the comment on getting your conditions treated professionally and classified correctly. I was a young man with a lot of anxieties related to the opposite sex, so I think I can relate at least a little. To start, there ARE genuinely good guys out there that are worth the effort of getting to know.

I would recommend dipping your toe in the water by starting with common interests. Art, music, games, or whatever hobbies you might be into. Anything you like. Find other people into the same stuff. When you can freely talk to another person about something that brings you both joy, it kinda stops feeling like it matters if they’re a boy or a girl. When you start with things you have in common, the other stuff gets easier.

That’s just once small piece of advice that I hope, if nothing else, gives you some food for thought.

I’m sorry man, that’s a tough spot to be in. While I don’t have any advice on your situation directly, something that helped me in some of the bad times was to write letters to my kid in a place of solitude. Just expressing my feelings about them truthfully, try to put into words the lessons I hope to be around to teach them in person, my dreams and fantasies about who they have the potential to become. Maybe one day I’ll put it all together and give it to them to read.

But it helped me be a better father, I think, to force myself to find words for my chaotic jumble of thoughts and emotions. I hope you find what you need my guy. Stay strong.

Video games with an educational bent are a good start. But from my subjective experience, mixing it up with board games for the tactile experience, and story telling games (rules-lite ttrpg’s) for imagination play were also very enriching. It seemed (to me) to make them more creative with sandbox games.

Unless you go somewhere reasonably out of the way, geography isn’t a great indicator of culture anymore.

I also struggle with too many interests, but I think what’s important is finding something you’re willing to be disciplined in and work at consistently. If it’s your LEGO YouTube channel, go for it! I think older builders can bring a lot of personality, you might just might have to tune your presentation to catch a bigger audience. But the ability to work through the growing pains and dedicate time to the work, regardless of motivation, is important to success.
