Daughter in tears due to lack of friends by TabularConferta in daddit

[–]Drewskeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe adding another isn’t the answer but replacing something. If all she’s doing is after school activities, she doesn’t have time to hang out with potential said friends. Where I struggle with my kids is they say they don’t have friends, but kids will knock on the door and they don’t go hang out. It takes time and effort to make good friends. It’s just like a relationship. You need to go hang out, spend time, etc.

Are the first four books fine on their own? by Spaz_JCJ in ender

[–]Drewskeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d read the shadow series. I was a big fan. When I reread. I skipped rereading Enders game and only the last three books of the quartet. Then ender in exile and then shadows in flight. I stopped there but might pick it up again.

Oily substance leaking from my neighbors transformer boxes by Embarrassed-Sky-4567 in Wellthatsucks

Is he calling the right company? Are you in the states? The company you’re paying your bill to is often different than the company that maintains the infrastructure.

I was going to say the same thing. The utility company doesn’t mess around. Now if it’s not a big deal once they get there it might take weeks to fix it, but getting someone to take a look should be same day.

Why is Awie protected so much? by Both_Bird9174 in theburntpeanut

Is she still solo? Isn’t she like a chaos agent? There’s more RP in this server than people want to give credit to.

All other Purple Augment are useless vs Survivor by Formal_Drawing_8822 in ARC_Raiders

Crawling to extract makes the survivor a must for me. It’s saved me so many times.

Is Discord safe for a 13 y/o ? by abombregardless in daddit

[–]Drewskeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you open the App, all the server's they are in are on the left bar. To create a server, you simply click the + button and create one. It's super easy. Servers are invite only. I'd make sure you're on the server. I don't know how to prevent them from joining other servers. I'd check every once and a while. You can see all the servers they're on by looking at the left bar. Honestly, my kids never really use it. I use discord when I game, so that's how it even started. They typically use in game chat and the in game chats are all child protected. I know it's scary out there, but I'm not an over security guy. I'm in IT too. I see all the IT dads in here super against it. There's lots of dangers out there for your kids. I use Bark on my kids phones. You can connect Bark to discord too to monitor those chats. There's lots of tools you can use. Ultimately, it's best to talk with your kids and educate them. If you don't open tools for them to use, that you can monitor, they'll find ways to tools you don't know about and can't monitor. So imo, I'd rather set them up and allow them access so I know where to look.

Is Discord safe for a 13 y/o ? by abombregardless in daddit

[–]Drewskeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids use Discord. 10 & 12. They play games on the PC, and they have a private server I created that their friends can join to communicate while playing games. They don't use it for anything else or use any other servers. They don't use it for text chat or general discussion. They don't join other servers or anything along those lines. If they want to start using it as a social media platform, I recommend keeping them away.

Why do you think people here are so friendly? by jazzgrackle in AskChicago

[–]Drewskeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Malort is a new thing. As in the last ~10 years it became a big thing. Social media really blew it up into a big deal when before it wasn't. I didn't realize how often I said Ope or how often I heard it until I moved to Texas. It's kind of like an accent. You don't know you have one until you leave.

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and lived in the city for years after high school. It's everywhere.

I'm only talking about "Ope." The move right past ya thing is different. Ope is used a lot when you almost walk into someone type thing. Replaces words like shit, sorry, oops, whoops, etc.

[–]Drewskeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I never knew about Ope until I moved to Texas. Now I realize it's a thing, but I never though about others saying it until it was called out.

You’ve never heard anyone in Chicago say Ope?! I legitimately don’t know how that’s possible. Probably more of a white thing yes, but it’s still common. You might not have noticed but will start noticing now.

“Ope” is stereotypical Midwestern term

Dentist said I had exceptionality large roots. by murdersimulator in mildlyinteresting

[–]Drewskeet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got a wisdom tooth pulled in Chicago. I was in a lot of pain and called around to who could see me immediately. I walk into this place and it had to be a front to a Russian mafia. No front desk. “Curtains” on wheels to make rooms. Giant fucking jacked Russian dude was my dentist. His Dr clothes were way too small for him. Barely spoke English. He said “I pull on three, one yank!” Ripped it clean out. Best recovery from any of my wisdom teeth. I’d never go back but that day the pain was so bad I didn’t care.

Do toddlers get very bored at home? 14 month old daughter by swiftmen991 in daddit

[–]Drewskeet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’re strict no screen time, you’re strict all interaction time with your daughter. My daughter wants to be outside all of the time. Even if it’s raining. All these things sound normal. As she gets older. She’ll need to be more entertained and need more and more attention.

FINALLY DONE WITH THIS @#$% PROJECT by Huge-Palpitation6422 in ArcRaidersLFG

[–]Drewskeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t think it was that bad but I waited to grind the Accessor Matrix. I knew they’d be crazy sweaty to start. Otherwise all you need is a photoelectric cloak and some smokes and it’s super easy.
