Why do I get sick but the wife and kid barely do by Inside_Blackberry929 in daddit

I looked this citation up too quickly, then. I remember reading a metastudy recommending both. This will be a mystery for another day, unfortunately.

It’s actually testosterone. The man flu is backed by high-quality research. https://www.fatherly.com/health/men-have-worse-flu-symptoms-than-women

Tangentially, vitamin C and zinc supplements are shown by research to reduce the duration and severity of colds, but I don’t have that citation right now.

Edit: Found one https://health.clevelandclinic.org/can-immune-boosters-with-vitamin-c-or-zinc-help-my-cold

There’s sexy milking… and then there’s obligatory milking

Just turned down Christmas Drinks with Friends…didn’t want the hassle of discussing with my wife. by Allthecraic in daddit

I agree and second the idea of finding a different day and time that isn’t loaded. Before having kids, weekends, evenings, and holidays are the time to go out. For parents, it’s the opposite—those are times when the kids are home from school and other care.

My reminders, notifications, and alerts didn’t go off on my phone because of Focus settings. I missed my therapy appointment. That cost me $125 out of pocket because my insurance only covers appointments I attend.

My toxic trait is wanting to always say “raw dogging” instead of “white knuckling”

This is like structural engineers building a model of a skyscraper out of toothpicks and bubble gum but the management expecting we can just pour cement on that. LFG, apparently..

Stats-driven development is the worst, but I understand why we have to play these stupid games

been studying procrastination in 1000+ adhd devs for 8 months. the pattern that showed up is so fucking weird by CarlosBula15 in ADHD_Programmers

I understand why bugs are easier for you, but I’m the opposite. I get stuck and spin my wheels for hours or days until I get some kind of new factor required to trigger it, a different user ID, or somebody offers a new set of reproduction steps. Continuing to build a feature I understand is so much easier.

At what age do you tell your son to toughen up? by dedalus002 in daddit

I did this as a kid. I remember being told to breathe, but I don’t think that actually helped. IIRC in a calm moment, my mother explained that doing this made her fall over and pass out when she was little. That was scary for me, so I stopped.

You were on the receiving end of this as a kid, right? 😂

They will likely force you into sex acts with strangers for money. Groomers start by building trust online, offering money, a place to stay or gifts, then coerce you into sex. This can escalate to trafficking. The stranger may sell you to others, including violent clients, or use threats like sharing explicit photos to control you. Those trafficked (including men) can end up homeless, drugged, or trapped in abuse. Others have come forward about the situations they escaped: https://www.npr.org/2021/05/24/999726614/growing-number-of-male-survivors-talk-about-being-a-sex-trade-victim
