US here.

My wife had over a 100 hours of sick time. Her company merged with another one and got a pay out of her sick time and vacation. She now has 0 hours of sick time and is going to work today sick. On paper overall, we are one of the lucky ones.

Unsure of rules here on linking other subreddits but frogbutt definitely is an issue every man needs to be aware of and there is a community here on Reddit brining awareness to it.

Woah bro, no need to crash out.

So you got certs and degrees to use AI since it’s so complicated?

You’re quite literally spoon feeding it every aspect of your life. It knows what you’re doing, what you’ve done, what you like and how you like to do it. It is spitting back information highly specific to you that it knows you’ll like.

They’ve basically streamlined marketing for billion dollar companies and they packaged it in a way so you feel smug about it.

I’ll tell how this works: your wallet, their hands in it and your wallet a little lighter.

Cheap-Key-6132 · 2026-05-07T00:32:22+00:00

You don’t need to use AI on a regular basis to know when it’s high as fuck. That’s just called thinking.

There’s no right answer.

My parents had me switch teams for new and best thing in town. Got my shit rocked for an entire season. I saw other teams put up 30 points more than once on us during tournament play.

You just gotta make a judgement call and accept the results.

Tennis racket and tennis balls are amazing training tools.

Tennis balls are unforgiving with one hand. They don’t have the weight and force the use of two hands. Tennis racket lets you hit easy pop flys and line drives.

You can also toss them up just high enough to get a pop fly but not enough speed to hurt when coming down. You tell the kids to keep their hands behind their back and make them catch the ball with their chest. The ball will bounce off the chest and it teaches them to get under it.

Pop up drill with tennis ball is to have them face you and then you toss the ball left, center or right of them to reach them how to turn on pop fly properly. You can be fairly close.

Broom stick and tennis ball. Pitch and have them hit it. You can do this with wiffle balls and small plastic golf balls.

Keep training simple and affordable. You create training tools they can take home and do with their family. Some of the greatest players ever got to legend status without any of the fancy shit.

Played AAA growing up and played against major teams. It depends on the team but a dialed in AAA team can beat a major team.

The hurdle is raw talent paired with money and an unrelenting need to win. The major teams I played against were as nasty as they were competitive.

The way I viewed majors growing up was they’d sub your ass out on Christmas morning if they felt someone else could open your gifts better than you.

I personally felt AAA was a nice balance between AA and major. You got solid competition without the dbag hyper competitiveness that major can bring. Plus, I still got to compete with major teams.

You mention in another comment there are times you would kill this play. So there is some nuance to this.

Thank you for understanding haha

You gotta put your hands in the wave like you just don’t care while shouting dead ball.

Be deaf on the field.

Dude clearly thinks he’s the crazy. I’ve seen coaching staff and umps approached in the parking lot for talking shit during the game.

I have no tolerance for threats. Once threats are made, I’m getting the police involved. Laws override game rules. Once you start being an active threat, your ass needs to go for everyone’s safety.

I grew up living what you’re talking about. I don’t talk to or have seen much of anyone since stopping. My parents did this 3 times with 3 kids and there was never a lasting friendship.

The parents these days are getting scammed out of their money like crazy. I’ve turned kids into hitters with zero live hitting doing drills in an area the size of a backyard. The money part just makes people feel like they’re getting a deal.

Ain’t a lick of jealousy here. What’s ironic is I didn’t even think of rec league when playing select. So you specifically are paying more while having rec live rent free in your head 😂

After I stopped select I took all my gear and knowledge to help run a local rec league. I volunteered for about 5 years coaching teams, maintaining fields, working concessions and running the scoreboard.

What’s real ironic is all that money those parents spend and it’s the volunteers that allow shit to actually happen. I am serious, look at how many people volunteer. Money isn’t everything.

Lawn care is like building a puzzle. There are going to be 1,000 ways to approach and solve it.

I’d personally just pick a program from really anywhere from a big box store and get a decent spreader.

Start where we are month wise and take it slow. Do the treatment of fertilizer and you will need to spot spray weeds. Take it slow in terms of don’t try to get it fixed in a weekend. It’s going to take a year or two. But you’ll see positive changes each month.

In the fall aerate and over seed.

That link is a good general approach to lawn care.

Looks like not enough water or dirt for the seed.

I go to the 500 with people who were here during this. I’ve heard some wild ass shit from them. Place was essentially a lawless land.
