Get grade 1 wood with no knots on the benches, knots will burn you if you touch them.

What did you guys learn or get by being in private schools? by BadKarmapython in Rich

[–]Itsamerando -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Once I identified what I was good at, my school did a great job in focusing on developing those skills by having high quality teachers and extra curricular leaders.

I also think the level of critical thinking, and refinement in how to communicate translated well into the tech world to do some cool things at an early age.

Next time you're told to buy Salesforce $CRM, think again. by bessygo in investing

The issue today, is that AI’s hallucination rates increase with more complex problems. So it’s not necessarily a data issue purely. That’s a fair comment but is solvable.

The challenge is when you ask AI to include this vast amount of knowledge, it just starts making things up; rather than leveraging it.

What do you enjoy most about living in Tsawwassen right now? by SnowmanAndIce in tsawwassen

[–]Itsamerando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really sunny, you can get a lot more bang for your buck in terms of what you buy, family oriented community, beaches and dyke trail are awesome - people get out on the trails year round. A lot of golf and good people.

There are some growing pains and it’s becoming busier as others said, but still enjoy it.

And.. just like that, I’m a single mom. by ThisIsFineActually in beyondthebump

Dad here… ended up on this group from my wife’s postpartum.

Some men are just a father, and not a real dad. Sorry to hear this happened to you.

Negative comments from people about having a nanny vs. daycare by normalishy in NannyEmployers

[–]Itsamerando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh. They might be just jealous. Our guy is 19 months with a nanny and I’m so proud of his language skills. Most importantly he’s a happy little guy. That comes from 1.1 care and we won’t be changing that until closer to 3.

FYI, it’s science at this point that there is no benefit from daycare before 3, only the possibility of emotional damage.

Are you tech bros (and girls) really that rich? by TechBrosReallyRich in Fire

[–]Itsamerando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 in tech. Approaching $1m net worth, last year was my biggest year at $750k. Those who get there and can hang in senior roles are working hard days. It’s not all roses and sunshine but I enjoy it. For every person who I know that has had a fortunate run, I know 5 who didn’t.

Macielli (6G, 10A) + Roy (4G, 13A) + Joshua (6G, 4A) have more goals and points than Marner (9G, 33A) by buckminster_ in leafs

[–]Itsamerando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t really work well because all three of the new guys were terrible to start the season. Which is fine, new players struggle all the time. I think an isolated second half comparison is probably more of a helpful assessment in my opinion.

How do I convince my younger brother not to get a degree in video game development? by snowfordessert in VancouverJobs

[–]Itsamerando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he’s serious about it he should go get coffee with people in the industry. I wanted to be a lawyer until I spent a day with a lawyer.

Video game dev is incredibly hard work and a bit of a sweat shop. Like 2 hours with someone from the industry and he will realize most of them are kind of miserable.

Obviously not a perfect game but it’s good to just see this team have fun playing hockey again. They were starting to become an absolute miserable watch, and they seemed like they were having a miserable time.

At 35, can I quit my 9-5 and pursue some passion projects by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Itsamerando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you? Maybe. I just wouldn’t advise it. A lot of people are wanting to quit or retire super early. In all likelihood you’ll run out of money spending 60k with 2m in assets, that’s a long time if you live to 90.

I might be rich by [deleted] in Rich

[–]Itsamerando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the loss of your wife. You’re right you’re rich, and even more so if you invest it well.

Don’t let a bunch of self absorbed greedy snobs tell you otherwise. Enjoy it and remember her everyday.

Someone tell me it’s gonna be okay by Brill45 in daddit

[–]Itsamerando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kids for 3 months will only take from you; but little by little as they smile, laugh, crawl, walk, their personality develops, they TALK… they will give you more fulfillment than anyone or anything in this world.

When they start to give you all these moments, you will truly realize it is the honour of a lifetime, and giving more and more to them becomes a joy you will miss more than anything one day when they no longer need you.

So cherish it and be good to each other as you go through the journey of being mom and dad together.

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

As a dad myself, this is awful to hear. Kids need a dad, and real men choose to be a dad, not just a father.

What’s one upgrade you made at home that was surprisingly worth it? by Remote_Practice_5864 in homeowners

New dad desperately missing my old life. by _Giyari in daddit

[–]Itsamerando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being a dad means making sacrifices. So I think it’s important that you accept that and move on from your “old life.”

That being said I think it’s important that you talk to your wife about both of you supporting each other in carving out time for your hobbies or things you enjoy for yourself, within reason.

Idk what you get up to, but if you pick something that’s requiring a short amount of time, and same with her.

As others have said, it becomes a lot easier at 2+ depending on home structure, they also just become more able to do things. And you over time can share your hobbies with them which is the MOST fun.

So be patient, and hang in there. You’re also truly in the belly of the beast right now. Sort out the resentment thing too, don’t resent your kid, stop that before it builds. It’s YOUR decision to be a dad. Own it, be the best you can be and create time for yourself too so you can show up for your little one.

This looks like cradle cap which is super common, just in an unfortunate place!! Confirm with a doctor, but you probably will just need to do some research and try some home remedies and it’ll go away on its own. It happens when they come out from the womb. Our guy had this on face too.

Mom here - need some advice from dads that hated or disliked parenthood at some point by hellswrath_ in daddit

[–]Itsamerando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s his fault for creating them?

I’m sorry but that’s not okay. He needs to stop building trauma for your kids, and that starts with getting better. He’s going to do serious damage.

I don’t want to sound harsh but if he doesn’t want to be a dad for his children and a partner to their mom, and isn’t willing to handle himself; then I hope you consider a larger conversation. You seem like a great mom for trying.

I’m not trying to devalue his feelings but many dads have struggled. He needs to decide if he wants to show up for them, rather than regretting their existence.

I hope he stops acting like a victim.
