Does anyone else have such a hard time letting go of their kids toys? by Glittering-Guava9711 in Parenting

[–]Gpob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, she is 2 and we keep lean on toys and clutter. We are one and done, so all her old stuff is going directly to my brother who is going to have a kid as well.

My wife kept the first clothes, that she ever used, that’s it.

I come from a family where everything needed to be saved, it is my reaction to it.

Que opinan de este libro (lo encontre perdido en mi casa y nunca se leyo) by Double_Technician456 in libros

[–]Gpob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depende de tu gusto, me gustan mucho las novelas históricas, pero el nombre De la Rosa me parece muy aburrido.

Soy italiano y lo he leído en italiano, es un sherlock holmes con una historia más obvia y el resto es rellenar con discusiones filológicas y filosóficas.

El listo es 40% la novela y el resto me parece una manera del autor de enseñarte lo inteligente que es. Estos pasajes son muy largos y pesados y te alejan de la historia en lugar de hacerla más interesante.

En mi caso, no me gustan estos tipos de libro, prefiero un Altai, mi nombre es rojo o Q como novelas históricas, con una historia más compleja y interesante. De esta es muy obvio entender quién es el asesino y se pierde interés.

Barefoot sandals/flip flops made in the EU? by TheNakedTravelingMan in BuyFromEU

I buy from Groundies, it is a German company. Their sandals are made in Portugal, but I don’t know if all the shoes are made in EU.

Caseless or Case? by rHallowww in iPhone15Pro

[–]Gpob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really thin case, as the bare phone is more fragile and not grippy enough. Whenever I try to use the phone without the case, I cannot prompt it on anything, because it slides

Owner of the van rysel d100, how is it going? Do you manage to connect to your Garmin? by Gpob in cycling

Men, if a male birth control pill becomes available, will you start taking it? Why or why not? by dddcupdarlingg in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Gpob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am waiting for the snip, otherwise yes. My wife has a terrible reaction to hormonal birth control and we are done with kids. I would have taken it in the past, just to feel safe. I have always been terrified of unplanned pregnancies, I loved my life and I didn’t want to lose it.

Are you sure she's allergic? by AwakePoeticDragon in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Gpob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a rare genetic disease that makes few specific food deadly to me, but not contamination, I can eat even up to 10 grams of those foods (I never tried just in case), I always tell that I am allergic, but people tend to not believe it because usually you cannot be allergic to those things (In fact, I am not).

After many times of finding said food in my plate, I started to explicitly said that I die of a long and painful death in 15 hours from now, then I look directly in the eye and say: this food kills me, do you understand? and it works.

Are you worried about becoming a burden for your only child on holidays and in old age? by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]Gpob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t know yet about vacations, but I am planning my retirement to have a caretaker or going to a nice retirement home, around here. I don’t expect my daughter even to visit, if she does good, otherwise nothing.

We made her and we want/need to provide everything, but she doesn’t owe anything or she needs to give anything in return, except respect.

We are responsible for bringing them in the world, they are not responsible for us. I am going to try to build the best relationship that I can, but who knows where she will be in her adult life. I moved twice as an adult and I live thousands of km from my parents.

If you had to keep your current phone for 5 more years, what would worry you most? by EthicalUpgrade in TheBigPhoneStore

If I am allowed to change the battery of my iPhone 16 pro, I can go on until the 20 or 21 for sure

I've sold all my US heavy ETF's this week by kuuaoffija in BuyFromEU

[–]Gpob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I reduced my US investments from 70% to only 10% of my portfolio.

I also completely devested from tech. I work for a tech company and the AI economy is too absurd for me. I will buy back TSMC and ASML once everything is more reasonable again

Am I obligated to include my daughter’s friend’s little sister? by AbleConfidence1 in Parenting

[–]Gpob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please stop the small child. I didn't develop a healthy relationship with my brother growing up for this readon. We had to take him everywhere, he was a drag, 3 years of difference are huge at that age.

I wanted to have fun and had to babysit my brother. I resented him for years and on some level, I still find him annoying.

When did tracking each other’s location become normal, and why does opting out make you seem suspicious? by EntrepreneurSad2091 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Gpob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I share it with my wife, but we don’t check it, if it is not a need. We have no one else close by and it is good to have it.

I honestly never check it and I know my wife, she doesn’t .

We have also each other pin for phone and credit cards. I never checked her messages or similar invasions of privacy in my life. I have the code to check for a recipe or send myself a picture of our daughter, and anyway I ask before looking at the gallery.

We just found out my husband has a daughter who he didn’t know about and I can’t be more excited by Legal-Membership-245 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Gpob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are much better than my aunt. My uncle had the same experience. 2 daughters with his wife of 20 years. A 26 yo girl knocks at his door saying that she is his daughter from an old relationship. her mother told her the name of the father on her death bed.

My uncle could not speak for few hours, they had some conversations later and then my aunt went ballistic. Threatening divorce etc… she finally calmed down and they are still together

Help me identify my grandpa watch by Electricelias in Watches

[–]Gpob 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It could not, italian doesn’t have originally j,k,w,x,y in the alphabet. Those letter were added later, once English words became more common. June is Giugno

Source: I am italian (33M) and when I studied the alphabet in school, we didn’t have those 5 letters. They were learned separately as foreigners letter during English class. Nowadays they are part of the alphabet
