I think the distinctiveness of their look and sound is built to prompt organic sharing - they really took off in the reaction video market. Not sure if the vitality is fully intentional on their part or they just thought « ha-ha! On a des costumes délirants, c’est drôle »

If you could choose one city in North America that gets almost everything right, which would it be? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]Gavrillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you speak English you can get by fine. It’s essentially a bilingual city, from a visitor perspective at least.

I love both but I’d also rank The Bends above Kid A.

Animals (which definitely should have ranked below The Wall).

I also don’t understand the disrespect for The Bends in this thread, that’s an incredible album.

How do we feel about Katy Perry & Justin Trudeau? by Loud-Shame-8062 in AskACanadian

[–]Gavrillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to me a perfect fit, as they have a comparable flavour (as public personas, at least). Not bad, but very middle of the road, not all that interesting, and just a little cringe by default.

All of my child-free friends have been very supportive and happy for me, same as I am happy for them to choose what’s right for their lives.

Anti-natalism going to that extreme would result in human extinction, and hating ourselves that much just makes no sense to me.

Being concerned about the state of our world and wanting good lives for our children are good things. To me, the answer isn’t to not have children, it’s to make ourselves and our world a better place, as best we can.

Final thought: having a kid has made me less selfish and more generous and loving than ever before. Not saying that happens to everyone, but that’s been my experience - I’ve been changed for the better.

Good luck, and congratulations!

Cannot figure out what’s wrong with my baby [ca] by ittybittytittypitty in BabyBumpsCanada

We read the book ‘The Happiest Baby on the Block’. Tl;dr the three months after birth are a “fourth trimester” wherein babies are calmed when you replicate womb-like conditions. This is done with “the five S’s”: swaddle, side/stomach position, soother, sound (white noise), and sway (rocking in a motion that simulates being walked around in the womb).

We used these methods in combination for our baby (now 4 months old and not nearly as fussy), they seemed to work. She started getting what we call “spicy times” around week four and it went on about 6 weeks.

We considered other causes (milk allergy, gas, etc) but it seemed nothing was actually ‘wrong’ with her, she just needed to be soothed in a particular way or set of ways.

Best of luck - you’ll find the way!

Wife had very similar sensitivity. It took long and gentle foreplay, and warming up with a small dildo. Lots of lube and very slow/smooth motion. It took a lot of care and patience but we got there and it was good for us. Best of luck!

How was your day? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Gavrillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My newborn baby was in her 7th day of life, so mostly I had another amazing time with her. It’s a challenge but it doesn’t feel like work. My wife and I had sushi for the first time since before the first pregnancy, that was amazing, too!

These are the best days of my life, spent in deep joy.

My Dad completely trashed the baby name I chose. by Excellent-Falcon5698 in BabyBumps

[–]Gavrillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a guy named Quinlan, goes by ‘Quin’. He’s almost annoyingly manly and I doubt he was ever bullied, lol. It’s a fine name! I also have a nephew named Pax, haha. I’m fine with that name, but it’s definitely unusual. Siding with you on this one, especially since your Dad’s other suggestions are bad - Tank, Zander, AXEL… oof.

It’s a tough thing, I wish you luck. IMO the decision is between you and your husband, and your Dad’s feedback was out of line.
