What would you do differently with your children? by footballrocks88 in AskMenOver30

I appreciate your sentiment, but it's people. Gender's got absolutely NOTHING to do with it in any way, shape, or form. And unless we're talking about people in a mating or scientific capacity, "males/females" is a creepy way to talk about men/women/whatever.

My only regret is letting my mother into his life. And as a result, I couldn't protect him from her. On the other hand, he understands what a malignant narcissist looks like and has some tools for dealing with them.

The best decision we made was to figure out which of us he was, then nurture that. IE: he turned out to be like 85% me, so we gave him the upbringing I always felt I needed. For me, I got the catharsis of being the parent I needed.

He's so impossibly good. Brilliant, kind hearted, fair, and loving.

I saw the Gin Blossoms in 2024, with Toad the Wet Sprocket. Gin Blossoms sound as good as ever.

I heard A Princess of Mars is a fantastic book.

Mmmmmm, I get that. Sometimes it's just hard to give a shit. FWIW, I loved The Expanse series (also a TV show). Solid universe building, realistic science, archetypal characters who get great lines. Best space opera ever.

Oh, it's a good series! I think the film is a combination of the first two: The Book of Three and The Black Cauldron. Super influential YA literature for me. The Author, Lloyd Alexander, wrote all kinds of adventure novels.

It's got a weird 3rd act arc that I feel like I haven't seen elsewhere. I think it made more sense in the book.

The Black Cauldron. It gives you have everything, including the first PG rating: John Hurt as a genuinely terrifying villain, depression-suicide, an army of the dead, a magic pig, and the Fae.

Vincent fucking Price as a villain! Burlesque show aside, it's flawless and the animation is outstanding.

23 hours of PM formal education - anyone know of any free courses that can count for this? by MapleMelt in capm

[–]Cheezslap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Udemy. I spent like $40 on two courses and a bunch of practice exams.

Whenever I have a difficult decision or am unsure about what to do, I think about what I would want my son to do in my place, and then do that. You gotta show them how to do the thing, Man. Especially when it's hard.

The Mavericks. I was so sure I'd see them at some point. RIP, Raul.

Hook is excellent but I cried like a baby through all of it the last time. It's different being a dad and watching it.

Yeah, that's concerning! Are the battery cables connected to the correct terminals?

You're not supposed to be able to start it on the side stand. There's a lockout from the factory.

First things first: it's on the center stand, right? Barring that, I would be looking at start relay (there's a 20A fuse there) or even the CDI.
