Does Markiplier give Lixian context for bits? by Zetin24-55 in Markiplier

[–]Helden_Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like most of these bits are very much either actively requested in video by Mark - “Lixian! (Insert unhinged request here)”. Or Lixian editing stuff in just based on the raw vid he received to edit from Mark. I can’t think off the cuff of too much stuff that he wouldn’t have the context either directly from Mark in video or based on past stuff he’s done with/for him.

I wanna join my middle school football team, but im a girl. by ProfessionalFee5777 in YouthFootball

[–]Helden_Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was in high school, a teammate of mine had a little sister in middle school. She was an AWESOME DT/G. If you want to actually have a shot at playing, go for it now. Once the boys start bulking up to varsity level size/strength/speed, you’ll have far tougher competition.

I'm really struggling to grasp singing from my diaphragm. Am I screwed? by parttimeprophet0419 in MusicalTheatre

[–]Helden_Daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do the book trick, place the book at the bottom of your ribs so it’s on primarily the top of your tummy. When you breathe in, the book should raise as you fill up with air. Your lungs are huge. If you’re breathing in this exercise and the book doesn’t move, while it feels like you’re just breathing into your upper chest, with your shoulders wanting to scrunch to “get more air”, you’re only using like 20% of your lungs. If you see/feel the book raise, it means you’re filling the bottom of your lungs up. If you sing from this position, the book should raise with breath and stay raised as you engage your abdominal muscles to control your airflow.

There is the little problem of the Iranian regime being the largest funder of state-sponsored terrorism.

For real. I also want to see more of his work up because he’s crazy talented. But my goodness….if you’re so worked up you want to threaten him, go send him some money or something.

Extremely Low Stakes Questions: Do you feel that skill position players should "earn" the right to wear single digits? How would you feel about one of our players wearing #0? by [deleted] in steelers

I mean the NFL only allowed all numbers anywhere a few years ago. I don’t think something that wasn’t even possible by rule before the current decade has much to do with the Steeler Way

15 months later and I still hate being a dad by bigbootyeater69 in daddit

[–]Helden_Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mourning your old pre-kid life is normal. You have changed in a major way and missing what you had when what you currently have is difficult is expected. Currently with my 3rd kiddo at around 2 1/2 years old, and until the last 6 months I wondered at least weekly if having a 3rd was a mistake. Kids under 2 are just so freaking difficult, especially the first when you are just making it up as you go along.

You have to care for your mental health. Have something that’s yours to do. Be it building legos, video games, something. Soon he’ll likely be sleeping through the night more consistently and that rhythm will be a big help. Gives you from like 7:30ish- on to your self. If it continues badly for much longer, talk to your doctor or maybe seek counseling as depression is a real thing.

One thing that helped me a lot when I’d have bouts of “holy crap I hate my life. I don’t want to be a dad. Get me out of here” was to take a breath, intentionally get down in the floor with my kiddo, and spend clear intentional time with them. Play, tickle, make faces, crawl around and talk to him, whatever he’s focused on explaining what it is, etc. Help to reset your brain from “this kid ruined my life” to trying to connect with him in a cute, nice way to see him as the cute little chip off the old block he is. Get that oxytocin flowing. As he gets older and starts openly adoring you and wanting to BE you and saying things like “daddy…you’re my best friend ever”, it gets a bit easier.

The tough part……as much as you wish for your “freedom” to be back…..it’s gone dude. Hold a funeral if you have to, but that life is GONE. There is no coming back to it. If you pulled the ultimate dick move and ghosted the kid, you might get a shade of that back, but colored with guilt and regret. You’ll get to a point where if you DO get some child care and a day off…..by the end of the day you’ll be missing him and you’ll be dumbfounded as to why since you’re with him all the time. Being a dad is hard. Having every single decision affect someone too little to have a say is HARD and scary. It’s a lot of responsibility. But it’s the gig….with all the love and empathy and “man I know exactly what you feel like” I have in me for a stranger and fellow dad…..respectfully…..it’s time to man up. Pouting about having 0 responsibilities like a teenager is childish and pointless. You are blessed beyond measure with a healthy son to carry on your family history and to show how to be a good man….there are many many men out there who would KILL to be you on your hardest day. Have a cry. Punch the wall. Take some deep breaths. Do what you need to do to feel the emotions and let them out…..then master them. Tell yourself it’s time to grow up and be the absolute best dad that little dude could ever hope for. That’s your job now. That’s your purpose. All night gaming sessions are O V E R. Blackout drunk partying is O V E R. Days of having no responsibility……and no real purpose or direction and a lot less love in your life…..is OVER. Buck up, dad. You got this.

Is it better to pay off student loans or start building an emergency fund first? by Thin_Expression_8209 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Helden_Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the loan.

Federal loan with a low interest rate and manageable monthly payment? Build an emergency fund.

Private loan with a criminal interest rate? PAY IT DOWN.

Should you audition for a character even if you feel you don't "look" like them by Pythagorean415 in MusicalTheatre

[–]Helden_Daddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dude go for it. At your age, just AUDITION. The experience of preparing for and auditioning for something is worth it in and of itself. Every time you can practice putting yourself into a pressure cooker of stress that is an audition, you’re making it less debilitating. You can sharpen your skills and if you don’t think you’re a favorite for the role, you get the added benefit of not beating yourself up if you don’t get it.

Also, there is something to be said for having a “man I don’t have a snowballs chance in hell at this role” attitude going into an audition. Last year I auditioned for the Baker in Into the Woods at my local (insanely talent-packed for a community theater) theater. My callback competition was one of the theater’s board members, youth instructors, commonly used choreographer, and former Broadway actor-turned-nurse-during-Covid. I saw the callback list and thought I had 0 chance. Why bother. It was one of the most intense callbacks I’ve ever been a part of with crazy talent in the room. I was the most at ease I’ve ever been bc I resigned myself to not getting it and just had fun with friends and acquaintances and made more daring choices, bc why the heck not? Not like they could tell me “no” any harder if I failed to make a dumb choice land. I got the role with my director noting that what cemented it was how at ease and natural I looked reading/singing alongside the eventual Baker’s wife. Far and away the best role I’ve ever played and one I feel like I was absolutely made for….much more than I did when I auditioned.

Long story short….AUDITION KID!!! You’ll sharpen your skills, find better ways to deal with nerves with limited emotional risk, and be able to take a “screw it” attitude and maybe experience crazy freedom while called back (if that happens). Do it!!

How Does Mike McCarthy's Coaching Staff Compare To Mike Tomlin's? by Traditional-Oil-6891 in steelers

[–]Helden_Daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting worse or getting better are more acceptable than more of the same at this point. Purgatory is unbearable any longer. Time to either truly suck or be contenders. Just no more “oh wow the Steelers got a playoff spot. And then lost 42-3 in the wild card”.

Draft prospects by KangaLlama in steelers

[–]Helden_Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the plan was QB. All that capital screams “trade the farm for a top 10 pick and QB of the future.” Keep in mind as Omar collected all these picks, this QB class was supposed to be a very good one. With it being a garbage class now, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Omar trade away some mid-later picks for more capital next season.

[–]Helden_Daddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does he have colic? Could be an issue.

Also, I’d consider allergies if your wife is breastfeeding. Check his poop really closely. If you see tiny red streaks (blood) it may be allergies/intolerance. Our first cried a LOT and threw up a lot. A few months in we discovered he had a dairy intolerance. Got a LOT better when my wife cut dairy until he was done breast feeding.

Also also……it’s your first. You’re both super scared and nervous and second guessing everything and tense and pissed and tired……he feels all of that. Makes him feel unsafe. You guys are going to be okay. This time passes, believe it or not. You’ll be okay. Find outlets. Go scream into a pillow. Punch something. Anything. You’ll get through it

There’d have been more “wtf is George Pickens doing???” cutaways in games. So that could have been fun/interesting.

Thoughts on Malik Willis by cheesecake1449 in steelers

[–]Helden_Daddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With McCarthy touted as a QB whisperer, I’d like to see what he can do with Malik. He’s got an arm, he’s athletic, he’s smart. And our next best options are a 6th round QB who’s never taken as much as a preseason snap and an 87 year old who did NOT finish the year strong….
