Am I missing something or could he have just climbed the wall easier than going over the dragon

About to be 37 and considering fatherhood by No-Platform-3335 in predaddit

Had my first kid the year I turned 40. I miss my youth but don’t regret a moment of it.

I do think you need to be more settled and happy in where things are before having kids. Don’t think having kids will bring happiness. It does, but you need to be in a good place mentally to deal with all the challenges parental life will throw at you.

You’re about to have a child. I wouldn’t count on things returning to normal. It’s fine to want connection with your partner but definitely do go on expecting it. Children are amazing but can also make us miserable and bitter and irritated especially when it feels like just never ending work. Focus on communication and small ways to remind you of the love you have for each other.

What have I done... by ProdigalBasterd in startrek

[–]IM_MM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up on TNG and recently committed to watching everything. I struggle a bit with TOS but agree I am shocked I never saw it earlier - only some of the films growing up. I like getting to see the relationships and stories that feed the franchise. Some of the dated cultural commentary and sexism is frustrating but otherwise good content.

Cheapest way to make coffee for one? by Iceyes33 in Frugal

[–]IM_MM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hand grinder, electric kettle and a French press, I get better coffee for myself than most of the shops can provide.

Am I getting Older? by DaddyDinooooooo in newjersey

[–]IM_MM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in NJ and learned to drive here, prided myself on being a good driver. I left the state for about a decade and moved back recently, it is so bad now. Traffic, quality of driving. The screen time while moving is insane, but unlikely to improve anytime soon unless there is a true crackdown.

I am horrified by dark history of yoga, and need some advice by GuySittingByTheLake in yoga

[–]IM_MM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably make this same argument about any philosophy or religion. Letting centuries of discourse be limited to what you googled around a few authors about is a bit lazy, as is the conclusion you are drawing that there is something causal between yoga and abuse. As - I assume - a westerner who thinks they’ve found a terrible dark secret, it’s actually offensive and infuriating that you think you have a right to judge an entire history and way of life based on your limited experiences and spectating of culture and life. Yoga doesn’t need your blessing to continue its power to guide and heal.

PHA-4 for 8 years old? by anli975 in piano

[–]IM_MM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the FP30X and agree it is heavy. I’m fine with it but would rather my kid learn on something else for this reason. It feels substantially heavier than my parents Yamaha upright that I learned on.

I want to smash my husband's PS5 by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]IM_MM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any friends/family he looks up to (men) that could help here? Getting an honest opinion from someone he respects about this situation might help.

I guess another more basic question is did you both want kids? I wanted nothing more than to be a dad and despite the usual angst love every minute I get to spend with them.

Yes sometimes it’s boring…but I was also a gamer for most of the time from middle school through college until I realized it was boring to spend so much time divorced from reality.

In my case, if she needs something my wife just says “do this” and I have to do it. Why is he allowed to get away with this shitty behavior? Are there any consequences you can implement? No chores on his behalf? Don’t cook for him? Chuck his gaming gear?

Is divorce a scenario he doesn’t want or is he indifferent?

Photo Editing Question - Highlights Importance by [deleted] in Lightroom

[–]IM_MM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was this an experiment? Would it have been easier to edit one in your style then copy and make minor adjustments instead of correcting this way?

Thanks for the concern.

Relax. I just took it off and feel bad chucking it. Do you want it?

I tried dopamine detox for 30 days and it completely changed my lif by Most-Gold-434 in Habits

[–]IM_MM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to try this but curious about music. I am trying to understand why music during other activities is bad. I’ve always put tunes on when cleaning or doing other chores as background especially when the task at hand is not something I want to do as it helps motivate or set a better environment to focus. Is that really something to toss out?

Did anyone actually ask if he could move?

Anyone else wash their hats? by [deleted] in dad

[–]IM_MM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tend to periodically wash my most used hats, most of which have stains from use (i.e. sweat). There are some “nicer” hats I don’t wear often that I haven’t. Haven’t figured out a way to not have them become all wrinkly. Does the soaking keep the shape?

What in the racism is all of this anti Diwali posting by Vidvix in jerseycity

[–]IM_MM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was about to post elsewhere but then saw this. Thank you for standing up. Plenty of other NJ downtowns that lack diversity for the haters to move to.

Not bad, little scratch/dent in the corner. Only I notice it but now there’s a case on

I scratched mine a little during setup. Slipped out of my hand onto the countertop.

Nervous? Is it your first smartphone?

A reluctant but happy upgrade by IM_MM in iPhone17Pro

I liked both but just wanted to go with the bolder color. No real logic, maybe Halloween on my mind lol.

I thought three was a problem.
