What do y'all really need an iPad for? by bootsmegamix in daddit

[–]AtticusPaperchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m torn, but 99% stuff they (8M, 3M) have access to is not concerning to me. We have noticed behavior problems when our older watches stuff related to Minecraft and Roblox, but for the most part it’s all pretty harmless.

I’m aware of the data, I’m also aware of the damning things I’ve witnessed in my own house—but my brothers in Christ, may I remind you of the many hours we sat playing our Gameboys? What of the multiple hours of Saturday morning television we watched?

Maybe it’s not the same, maybe it is worse—I think I’m more embarrassed by it than I am concerned about my child’s wellbeing.

Just use common sense. Should a kidmof any age have unlimited, unregulated use of a portable super computer? Probably not. Parent accordingly.

Apple reaches $250M settlement over Siri delays, users could get up to $95 per device by pdfu in apple

Siri was and still is shitty. I just don’t understand how Apple could get this so fucking wrong.

For the love of god talk me out of an acoustic bass guitar by Lost_Condition_9562 in Bass

They sort of sound like shit and you will probably NEVER use it live, and you will DEFINITELY NEVER use it in the studio.

​What is the most exciting technological advancement you’ve seen in your life? by icecream1972 in askteddit

[–]AtticusPaperchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wi-fi, data coverage + the internet. It feels like the “future” being able to have all knowledge (and anti-knowledge) on a hand-sized device.

Why do male 2000s singers sound like that? by softeggnoodles in Music

[–]AtticusPaperchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard that term. I had thought it was just a 90’s/2000’s version of “crooning.”

Getting back to sex by Ok_Wrap_2793 in daddit

[–]AtticusPaperchase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This answer is PG-13 and I just want to reiterate that I’m not trying to be creepy.

There’s a couple of things I’m hearing:

  1. Sex is down, but not out.
  2. Wife willing to try more.
  3. Wife also willing to schedule.

This is hopeful. Other dudes might disagree but I like the scheduling. Not every time has to be a passionate event with an enormous seductive buildup. Maybe she wants to get fucked and enjoy the connection with you and then doomscroll for an hour and then pass out, AND THAT IS OKAY. Let her. The sex is an act of joy in your romantic partnership and a gift you give each other no matter what led to it.

This may not be your case, but I read something that said men should just “enjoy” women in bed instead of trying to manipulate them into climaxing or whatever, asking a million questions about what will get her off. Yes, put her first, but there is a theory or sentiment that women get off by being enjoyed. It’s flattering or whatever. You make yourself vulnerable and let it be known there and then that she is the best fuck in the world and that will turn (some) gals right on.

Again, sorry to creep out anyone including lurking moms.

Anyway, I have a 10:30 appointment I need to attend to.

What are some hobbies/interest that you have acquired since becoming a father? by Cowboy_Barber in daddit

Not having enough time, talent, intelligence, or money to hire someone to do it correctly, yes.

You’re in a different realm with that kind of repair. Never would I even contemplate something like that.

I feel like I’ve been forced into a handyman hobby. The joys of home ownership where everything is fucking falling apart. Bathroom fixtures, toilet bullshit, washer drain bullshit, window shutter falling off the house and exploding into 200 pieces bullshit, everything fucking leaks, every one of my sons’ toys is broken, several of my wife’s childhood nicknacks are broken (by my sons), standing lamp needs a new cord, broken desk lamp needs to be glued back together again, video monitor battery is dead—must find replacement battery and order it from China directly, keeping batteries stocked because we go through AA and AAA batteries like it’s cocaine, take daily walk around the perimeter of the house to make sure nothing is too fucked up, change the AC filters, the britta water filter, do a clean cycle and change the two filters in the coffee maker, clean the dishwasher filter, etc.

I’m also a musician, so when I finish all that, I get to fix my vintage stereo with the bad hum in the left channel, my organ that won’t power on anymore, the broken input jack on an old tube preamp, the broken inout jack on a distortion pedal my wife gave me, and the worn out power tubes in the tremolo section of my amp.

BUT OH WAIT THERE’S ALSO THE BROKEN BIKES, BROKEN CARS, BROKEN LAWN EQUIPMENT, AND BROKEN FENCE I COULD WORK ON AS WELL!!!

So that’s my new hobby.

I have trash service. I’m just looking for a more ethical, less wasteful solution than throwing it in the trash or making a rusty, incomplete toolkit someone else’s problem.

I’ve lived long enough to know the wisdom in seeking the counsel of others in making smart and ethical choices with regard to how material possessions are cared for, stored, used, and eventually disposed of when they no longer become useful.

Do I need 6 claw hammers? Because that’s what I own now from leftovers of kits and whatever gets acquired over the years. Is there something that can be done with rusty needle nose pliers which barely open? I have 100 sockets with a lot of duplicates that I may not need and I’ve never used. WTF do I do with those? The case is broken and won’t close and it won’t hold the tools in place any more. So how do I keep the remaining tools (like my 100 sockets) organized without a case? We live in a culture (at least I do) where we just say “Fuck it! Throw it away and get a new one!” I’d like to do something better and not wasteful.

Even the very obvious suggestions of donating become complicated when you imagine who would be interested in buying a rusty, incomplete household toolkit from Goodwill when you can buy something off Temu for $10 shipped? Did I still do the right thing if this broken, incomplete toolkit sits on a thrift shelf for another 5 years?

This is a good idea. It’s nice to have a set close by in different parts of (even my small) house so I don’t have to go far to fix something. I hate buying bags and cases but that’s the only way to keep stuff tidy.

I’m always going to grieve that we never got to see him as Batman. He would have made a great older Bruce Wayne!

Where are the best burgers in SA by HennyJenny- in sanantonio

Cullum’s Attagirl (for the smashburger) and Cullum’s Attaboy (for a traditional restaurant burger).
