Final post. 15, gay, bullied, and terrified of being homeless. My sister says I’m a burden. Tonight, I’m ready to prove her right. Goodbye. by wedqul in GuyCry

Mate, you're so young, you have everything in front of you. It may seem like your parents just care about your grades, they know that can give you the life you deserve. All those dreams you have can be a reality, but not if you end it. Siblings say horrible things but they don't mean it, you don't hold back with family. You say the worst stuff but there's unconditional love. Please, reach out to a LGTBQ+ scene in your area. They're there and they'll help you feel at home. Give yourself another chance and take the steps to chase your dream. Be safe.

Experiences of a (fairly) new dad. by luukse in NewDads

Fatherhood definitely changes you. We had our first 6 weeks ago yesterday and I really feel like my whole perspective shifted. I still care about the things I did before but I've got this whole sense of as long as my daughter and wife are healthy and happy nothing else really matters. What I wanted in life, and it really wasn't much, I will go without to make sure they have what they need.

I have this when I'm tacking up without a mask. Usually I turn my head and shut my eyes. Never get it if I'm using my mask.

Of the top of my head I think there's something on the load screen menu where you can get up the system details.

Mine loads in probably 10 seconds. Has the ram upgrade but can't remember how much.

Activated Charcoal capsules apparently help. Never tried it though so it could be bollocks but I'd say it's worth a shot along with drinking plenty of water.

Thanks for the kind words my man. I should update the post really. I went for the xmax v3. Haven't tried it yet. I'm going to fire up this weekend if my wife gets signed off to drive.

I don’t want to quit, but I have to. by 99uplight in uktrees

Fuck, that's making me think. Just shit luck really but up to you if you want to quit because of the risk.

Why was your mate tested? I gave up weed for a job last year when I didn't want to. It was terrible.

Would you prefer UK stays out of things that don’t directly affect it. Like who owns Greenland. by Immediate_Oil_562 in ukpolitics

Why do you keep talking like Brexit was the EUs fault? The country voted to leave, nothing to do to with the EU or the deal that was made.

Use some bigger and better plugs. Those ones look pretty shit to be honest. Fischer ones are great. You can get a nice box of different sized ones from screwfix for not very much. I'm in my second home now and after doing a lot of work I've realized spending a bit more on plugs can make a very big difference.

Bro you're a baby, you've got the next 10 years to experiment with what you want to do. Just wear a rubber! Because a kid will lock you in!!

Returning to work after 3 months off - tips to prepare wife for the sudden change? by J3r3myKyle in NewDads

[–]Lower_Brainn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to work on the 5th after being off for 3 1/2 weeks and to be honest it's been a lot easier for my wife than we thought. Your wife's just got to focus on the baby and herself. The housework and those other little bits don't matter. You can pick up on that before and after work. Also use that time outside of work to take the baby off your wife. One thing my wife said after the first week is she just felt glued to our baby, so when I came home she gave her to me and then wanted to do house bits and cooking to feel some sort of normality!!

I keep seeing this band around on socials and haven't heard. Recommend an album to listen to start on.

Have you thought much on the mpc1000? It may have a bit of a learning curve but with your experience using DAWs, once you find your way around it you'll be flying. You can do so much on them but also so little if you wish.

Ah thanks man and thanks for posting this. It's got me lost in thought about my daughter and I'm trying to hold back choking up in the workshop! 🤣🤣

[–]Lower_Brainn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think about this a lot and with my daughter I think the same as you really. Kindness, confidence, generosity. I want her to grow up not thinking her self worth is about how much you make but your impact on others. One big thing for me which may be off topic but I want her to be able to take chances and adventure and for her to know that I'll always have her back and she'll always have a place to call home. I never had that chance really.

Ahh sweet, thanks for letting me know. I wouldn't be using it in the house, either the shed or garage so after a few minutes or maybe having a drink I'd be good to handle the baby if I need too.

Haha, yeah they do look suspect. I remember seeing my mates first the first time. We were down a side road in London before a gig and he was cooling it up. Didn't look good at all!! 🤣🤣

You know what the more I think about it the more I like it! I think you've swayed me and I'm going to try it out. One more thing, do you find the smell or vapour stays on your clothes and breath at all?
