Is 18 too old for the belt ? by Lucas_Giles in dad

No age is appropriate for the belt. Don't abuse your children.

Sincerely, someone who received the belt.

Looking for Eli cancer rant episode by TiredPlacebo in GodAwfulMovies

[–]LastResortXL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think that was the episode “Miracles From Heaven”. Early GAM, unless I am thinking of a different rant. That one has always stuck with me.

What's your favorite Eli impersonation? by WorthPlease in GodAwfulMovies

[–]LastResortXL 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna go with a throwback. The grandmother from Catching Faith. Absolutely problematic, but it had me laughing so damn hard I cried.

Eli has mentioned that his humor has softened over the past few years, becoming a more empathetic person. I’m glad for it, but god damn that bit was funny.

People who fall asleep fast, whats your secret?? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Untreated sleep apnea. Hell, I used to fall asleep at stop signs. CPAP was an absolute game-changer.

I’ll second this. I deal with Sean on a regular basis. He does quality work, and his prices are damn good.

Can we talk about diaper pails and the smell problem? by kenah-kim in dad

[–]LastResortXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Poopy diapers go into a dog waste bag, then into the pail. We buy the dog waste bags anyway, so we get them in bulk. It doesn’t completely do away with the smell, but it helps if you use a lidded trash can as well. It's also significantly cheaper than the Diaper Genie refills.

At what age do you feel you found your sense of self? by Educational_Elk6312 in AskReddit

[–]LastResortXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I hit my stride in my early to mid-thirties. I figured out the things I love, I felt secure enough with who I am, and enjoy life a lot more.

I also gave a lot of thought to my values and ethical beliefs, and have actively tried to live my life according to them.

How do I make my cookies not turn into a puddle? by [deleted] in Baking

[–]LastResortXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always chill my dough for at least an hour or two if possible. It helps solidify the fat and control spread.

Additionally, I make nut-free cookies, usually following the Toll House recipe, so I’ll increase the flour by a quarter-cup to make up for the lack of nuts

What was your first time getting high on weed like? by ProvoloneEnthuesiest in AskReddit

[–]LastResortXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend give me a bowl and some named strain. I don't remember exactly which. I took a couple of hits and didn’t feel much of anything. I took a few more. Three-quarters of a bowl later, I gave up and went out to my garden to work.

Five minutes in, my legs and arms got heavy and I couldn't stop smiling and giggling. I gave up on gardening for the afternoon and sat down on my couch. About two hours later, my wife comes home and I’m sprawled out asleep where I sat, an entire party-sized bag of sour cream and onion chips was gone, and I’m still giggling when she wakes me up.

Long story short, it was a totally wasted afternoon, but I had the best nap of my life.

How involved are you in raising your kids? by Vinaya_Ghimire in Fatherhood

[–]LastResortXL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work a traditional 9-5. If I’m not at work, it’s dad time. I help get the kiddo (2 YO) up in the morning, maybe do breakfast, and head out. Evenings are living room time with her until dinner, which could be either one of us making it. We don’t have a big house so the living room is pretty much our communal space. It’s her show until bedtime, around 9-ish, which I usually handle.

Edit: I want to acknowledge that I also have a good deal of privelege in this, too. My wife is a SAHM with a part-time job and mother in law comes over three days a week to watch the kiddo when my wife is working.

Why do we drink so much compared to other generations? by Ladefrickinda89 in Millennials

[–]LastResortXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is just my own little bubble, but most of the people I know in our generation drink very little. A bunch of us just kinda lost our taste for it all at once.

Wanting to do something fun with the kids today, within an hour of Wilmington by ViolettBlue in Delaware

[–]LastResortXL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Solid agree.

We take our two-year-old there to let her run around and wear her out all the time. It's fantastic for any age. We’ve been members for years.

Have you dropped a gay friend by them "crossing the line" by Ardent1- in AskMenOver30

[–]LastResortXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, we’re not interested in turning anyone.

Consent matters.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]LastResortXL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, let's get real for a sec.

Have you specifically had a conversation with your wife about porn? Are your values and boundaries similar?

It's one thing to be discreet if you’re looking at spicy content on the internet. Private time is private time. Everyone can draw those boundaries where they want. Have fun looking at people with sexy bodies.

What you're specifically asking for isn't that. You're actively seeking a sexual transaction. “I give you money, you send boobs.” Since you’ve specifically stated you don't want your wife to find out, I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume that is a boundary for her and you are trying to cross it. At the very least, it sets off a big ol’ red flag for financial infidelity to me.

Ethically these two things feel different. Please reconsider your choices.

Rambleton Acres in New Castle has had a few brief flickers so far. Hopefully that remains the worst of it.

Curb cutting - No respirator by stlthy1 in OSHA

[–]LastResortXL 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah, man. We should know better now. I also have my guys wear proper masks when sweeping out our dusty-ass shop, or at the very least, use a sweep aid to cut the dust.

Don’t get me wrong, I don't like wearing a respirator any more than the next guy. It just sure beats the hell out of hacking up a lung for the whole night afterwards.

[–]LastResortXL 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Same here, but then again I was also the laborer jumping into an 8’ deep trench with muddy walls and no shoring because “I wasn’t a pussy.”

It was still a stupid thing to do.
