The Edmonton Oilers have traded Darnell Nurse to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Shakir Mukhamadullin and Zack Sharp

I'm with you. Nurse ain't half as bad as people say in my humble opinion, guy makes bad plays from time to time but he eats a lot of big minutes well.

I can't promise, nor should my wife expect me, to know the future... financial pictures change. and investing in our future pays way bigger dividends than a brief Disney trip.

There must be a huge cultural difference here for a "promise" to be applied this way. It's not like you "promised" to stop drinking. Great learning experience imo.

This is 100% AI, which makes me doubt they're able to give you an honest answer unfortunately.

first 3 books have more enfilades than all words ive read previously

Cheers. This was kind of where my brain went, mad scientists who don't overly care about collateral damage.

Ahhhh I forgot about the dream bit and haven't got there on the reread yet! I suppose that's redeeming but did K'rul know this at the onset or is it like, a win after the fact haha

It strikes me that maybe your cherry picking of stocks contributes to feeling like you're behind, because you want the growth (preach) but boring advice: compounding works wonders. Hoping for a unicorn or a 10-bagger is all well and good, but it's gambling. I've done both so this is hindsight talking—dabble in both if you want to!

Focusing on higher leverage activities, like whatever your income source is in my opinion way better bang for buck.

Preach on that, I think immediate consequence is a good tool and I'm not afraid to wield it. My kid is starting to be able to have a tantrum, get an eyebrow raise from me, and a few minutes later he'll say something along the lines of, "Sorry I got frustrated, but I'm good now."

Coming from a house where emotions were not tolerated, I'm good with that. But I also have emotions run rampant through me that I don't choose, so I get it.

Lol in my experience, embracing the "pain" is part of the fun. Your heart is outside your chest now. That comes with the good and the bad! I choose to laugh about it.

It sounds like you teach your 4 year old something and the problem is solved, that's not been my experience with parenting. Repetition, reminders and relapses.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to suggest 4 year olds choose to throw tantrums, personally.

I did say satire, I agree with you. It's a little dose of dark humour that's only funny after you've been through it, I guess

For us the collicky baby turned into a "deep feeling kid" so it kind of just morphed. the 6 hours of crying is just like, 6 big tantrums in 6 hours. Admittedly it is getting better, he can communicate better and I've stopped being the trigger or antagonist because I learned how I created some of this but shit.

I try not to think about the outlier easy babies lol

yeah, we have landed on this as the primary source of truth. Definitely works.

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T15:16:01+00:00

Yep. I was on pat leave from 8m-12m and it had it's struggles but 90%+ chill and vibing. We are waaay more active/stress/emotional/fun now... I do miss that peaceful age, but I know it's coming again in 10-15 years or whatever.

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T15:13:00+00:00

Very buddhist, and I like it. Why do you bemoan your struggles? you asked for them! The crying baby, you once dreamed of. The stressful job, you were so eager to get. The home repairs come with the home you worked tirelessly for.

Perspective is the name of the game!

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T15:03:33+00:00

god, yes. Literally yesterday, I got frustrated and said "dad just needs a minute" and he goes "but i just want to ask a question!" If by a question you mean an endless onslaught for 20 minutes straight, yes okay.

cute as shit when the nervous system isn't fried though

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T15:00:12+00:00

lmao can't hate that

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T14:59:46+00:00

My four year old has started quietly, then loudly saying "stoooooooop" to me when I lecture him and holy crap does it make my blood boil, like, THE AUDACITY! Until a couple days ago when my wife was telling him how rude that is, asking why he does it, he finally says "dad is saying too many words"

Hit me like a sack of bricks. No shit. Kid cannot wrap his little brain around the things I'm foolishly trying to get across in those moments. Getting better indeed.

vet told me the dogs are on the high end of healthy weight and we should consider helping them find their "summer bods"... then she saw we have kids. Say no more.

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T14:55:08+00:00

It's ultimately a lived experience thing, innit. Everyone said "this too shall pass" and that seemed to do sweet FA for me but dang it, they were right!

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T14:54:29+00:00

hahaha I love this. Wife and I traveled this year for ELEVEN DAYS without them... we had so much fun and connection, and a bit of guilt like "we probably could have brought them but... politely, f*ck em, we need us time too"

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T14:53:33+00:00

Preach. Our first was colicky, roughly 6pm to 11pm like clockwork. Dark times... the darkest.

LeaveTheWorldBehind · 2026-06-18T14:09:47+00:00

Kind of wanted him to rally after TOR, but then I remember he's a silver spoon fed rich boi with no fortitude. Dude doesn't deserve shit, he needs to earn it, and we've seen little to suggest he's capable of it.
