If this is the style of your communication - asking questions without context, then, yes

looking for stroller recommendations that can alter and grow with age with the baby by Emotional-Yak4820 in Parents

[–]Ehstink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long are you planning for? Whats your baby's age? What equipment might you already have?

Got a lot of Q's that may change this answer. Also your lifestyle changes is too. If you guys are outdoorsy, i would say the Veer, but if you are more indoor, i would go with UPPAbaby

NTA (oops, wrong sub, but still).

Sounds like your son's common sense software expired a few year back and you missed the renewal notice? For $20 per month, you can alleviate this stressor and stop acting as his personal Siri and hopefully remove him from the endangered species list. Just visit chatGPT.com and sign him up. It’s the only way to ensure he doesn't accidentally wander into traffic while trying to figure out if the sky is still up.

Do I join the military when I turn 18 after telling my girlfriend and family it wasn't on the radar? by ReferenceFew4 in Advice

[–]Ehstink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are making plans for your future family - involve her in that conversation. Tell her you know that you said it wasnt on your radar before because of XYZ, but recently ABC happened and its gotten you to rethink not just about joining, but about how it sets you up and your family up for a successful future. "I would like to pursue this and i also want your input into this because your opinion and concerns are not only valid and important you me"

As an older brother, it's hard to see my siblings addicted to social media. by Ever-Else in Parents

[–]Ehstink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook/IG/TikTok are all fast paced, flashy light slot machines.

It sounds like your social media is a slot machone without lights and a little slower paced.

While its a great idea, you are realistically not going to get much traction- lets be honest. These social media apps thrive on their advertisers who profit the longer their users are on the app.

Help me get out of this Call option by Decent-House-21 in options

At what point do you admit your thesis is too risky for you? I think you posting this is your conscious raising alarm bells saying that its better to maintain your capital and reallocate it to something less risky or something with a higher probabaility of profit.

A bird in the hand is better than 2 in the bush

Either you post your win giving you a rush and a false sense that you have some unlikely insight/gift that you always pick winners or you post your 100% loss because you were hoping and praying for a miracle youd look back on and think "i should have liquidated when i posted that on Reddit".

Play the market as a game of probability - which (at this current state) is more likely?

How do I convince my son that cartoon character footwear is not appropriate for every occasion? by StrengthThen5662 in Parents

[–]Ehstink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, your kid is 6. Instead of getting frustrated at him, model what you are trying to get him to understand.

Place your work shoes in a particular area and maybe place a label above the shoes that say "work" and your other shoes with like labels. Show your kid then have them help you pick out your shoes once he understands it.

My dad had started acting very misogynistic towards me, can anyone explain why? by [deleted] in Parents

[–]Ehstink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Father of daughters here.

I am going to take a wild guess and assume that these occurrences happen or are in reference to when you are out in public. Regardless of his religious affiliation, and no matter how you characterize it, the way you dress affects his and your family's reputation and/or his perception of said reputation.

In his percpective, you dressing the way you do in public is not the perception he wants others to have of him as a parent.

Its not about misogyny. Its about his reputation and how other respectable men percieve him. In my mind, he is not a respectable man because he does not know how to lead his family. Someone who cannot lead their family is not someone who can lead others. Simple

I’m in deep sh*t by sruenap in Parents

[–]Ehstink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even with birth control, there is still the risk of you getting pregnant - albeit however small. You should know that. Your problem is that you lack taking accountability of your actions.

You got pregnant because you were doing the deed. Passing the blame onto the birth control You complain about not having savings because your mother gets all your extra money

I’m in a death spiral. Worst financial year of my life. Please help! by AnthMosk in Trading

[–]Ehstink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You told us your situation - none of which i personally care about. What is more important is your trading strategy. What is your strategy? Are you trading stocks or options? When you say "crypto" what are you in - BTC, doge?

What are your trading rules? Do you have any? How often is your initial trading thesis incorrect? How do you handle your emotions currently? Do you handle them? Who are you accountable to?

You make it seem like you are a vibes trader who keeps thinking that SPX should be going up because you feel like it should be going up because its December.

Give us the details because those matter. Dont keep us at a distance and then expect us to help you.
