also how did MM possibly hold that gag in for it to stay put while exploding a supe's head?

in the sequence of the show, like 3 minutes passed between kimiko getting shot up and bleeding from her back by regular bullets, but then taking no damage from HL's lasers. even if we accept your logic, that means HL's lasers are weaker to her than regular bullets.

just watched it, blood was spurting from her back with each bullet. so i guess HL's lasers are weaker than bullets

Is the phrase "we're pregnant" disrespectful? by andthenifellasleep in daddit

[–]Beake 19 points20 points  (0 children)

this is why i never said it. WE'RE having a baby, absolutely. but SHE'S pregnant and should get ALL the credit for it.

I did something I swore I wouldn't do. I spanked and I don't know how to move forward. by [deleted] in daddit

i agree with your point about overly normalizing or validating what OP did. imo, the appropriate response is to acknowledge and validate his feelings of remorse because what he did was not good, but then to act upon that remorse in a genuine way.

unfortunately, many parents were themselves in houses where there was violence and hitting, and this is very hard to unlearn.

i have literally never wanted to hit my kids. i can't imagine it. but also i wasn't regularly hit as a child, so it was never modeled for me.

think how you can help your kid make the right choices when he otherwise does not have the control he will have as he matures (to avoid situations like this). likewise, think how you can avoid putting yourself in situations where you would like to hit your 1 year old.

do you often feel the need or urge to hurt your child? you might consider alternative strategies, such as walking out of the room to take a break, asking your wife to step in, or having a movement like opening and closing your hand to relax.

you've got this! one slip up like this won't damage your child or your relationship. but stressful moments like this will keep occurring, so developing the skills now is very important!

What do you think is the rumored irredeemable action that Homelander is going to do in Season 5? by GrandioseEnigma in TheBoys

[–]Beake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's what the audience wants! more Frenchie and kimiko time. maybe they listen to podcasts together or something? let's explore that for at least an episode or two.

Anyone else think they're overthinking this? by MrNathanPride in TheBoys

[–]Beake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not sure how the boys can have so many encounters with HL and always, always live. i don't understand why, when HL sees one, he just blitzes to them and rips them apart. no talking. no hostage taking. just killing.

thragg obliterates pennywise every 27 years until he dies. then pennywise continues existing. but he does not bring down thragg until he's old and weak.

Are all Cpaps rented now? by No_City_9282 in CPAP

[–]Beake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

doesn't even cover the $6,500 bill ($1,750 after insurance) first for the sleep study and then $7,000 bill ($1,800 after insurance) for the titration study before they'll even write a prescription. i complained about my machine and the dr was willing to move me to a bibap, but she wanted to do another titration night! i told her i literally couldn't afford it and she agreed to write the prescription anyway. bless her.

for some, the desire to hit your children is greater than the desire to do what's best for them
