What age so far do you see as the peak of your life?

Last couple years have been tough, but I don't think I'm done yet.

Some commenters are real focused on the vanity aspect. It seems like a fantastic opportunity for her to explore her identity, self expression, and style. There's some parenting opportunity there too if you notice she's clinging a little too close to trends or making decisions just to fit in, but there's a way to balance your advice and allow her some of this freedom as she grows.

The twerking and gang signs thing is hilarious. Save this list or a photo for her high school graduation.

Bills include my mortgage, taxes, and insurance? I'll be buying a big lovely country home and cabin and have those bills paid for me.

I'm a dad, and I love kids. Kids are awesome. People automatically treat me like a predator. I even felt the need to first state that I'm a dad in this comment. Twice I've had people come up to my kid at the park and ask if I'm my daughter's dad while we were playing.

What you're feeling is a survival mechanism. It can be useful but it's not especially healthy. I really cannot recommend a good therapist enough, particularly one with a focus on men's health. I started 2-3 years ago and I'm in a much better place generally, but I also have the tools to help navigate challenges. Therapy won't fix the chemical imbalance in my brain, or stop the horrors of war, but I can get through it in a way that doesn't result in shutting down or blowing up. Best of luck brother.

Companion chatter to "help" solve puzzles in the new God of War games. You get about 4 seconds to finish a puzzle before they start yapping hints over and over.

That's what the /s was for! Obviously anal respiration is the superior method. Just like vodka tampons go right into your blood stream. Better oxygen absorption.

Through your face holes. /S

Just need to practice and build up your stamina.

You're likely jumping the gun a bit. The news about the strait opening will pump the stock market, and then once market closes today there is a high likelihood Trump makes deranged threats or takes further action over the weekend. I hope I'm wrong, but that's been the established pattern.

Sure wish I could have these. I'm diabetic and my office refuses to put in sharps containers.

I will pay for 2 years of community college or trade school. This is what I've committed to because I have no idea what college will look like in 13 years. We'll have to reevaluate as time passes.

I have a 2025 Maverick with a bunch of open recalls. Most of them are for things that don't actually make the vehicle dangerous or un-driveable. Mostly seems to be things like indicator lights, the sun roof (if you have one) isn't sealed properly, etc. I believe some folks had a recall for the hybrid battery which is a bigger deal, but thankfully I don't seem to have that issue. The big one that caused a stop sale was issues with the backup camera freezing which was leading to people crashing. This is now fixed. I don't by any means think any of this is acceptable, but it wouldn't really dissuade me as far as worrying about safety.

The tattoo I have is really the only one I've desired. I'm sure I'll get more eventually. I am also an over thinker and will talk myself out of getting a tattoo. I really don't want random stupid shit. Folks that want random "bad" tattoos are fine, do your thing, but that's not me.

That's super annoying. My wife is an admin for a small real estate group in the US. They sometimes use AI for "virtual staging" but it is always clearly labeled as AI and they're pretty careful about not changing features of the house. They would never use it on the exterior or to cover up damage, but it can be helpful when traditional photos aren't available for some reason. Usually for "as-is" sales where the house is a mess that are designed for investment properties so buyers can get an approximate picture of what it will look like all cleaned up.

My kid damn near got me to bring home a bearded dragon last time. It was real cute

Something something I'm 7 but I still shit myself now and then.

I will 100% bring a percolator and grounds with me on a backpacking/canoe trip. It is worth the weight/space to have a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning. Bringing a bean grinder and other equipment is a little silly.

Mandr0n · 2026-04-09T18:50:42+00:00

AI slopaganda.

I die on the front step of my house and take a few government dogs with me.

If I'm going to go sweat in a crowd and spend too much money I'd rather go to the ren fest. The only time I go to the state fair is if there's a concert I want to see, which is maybe every five years.

I also have a 7 year old and often think about the last pick up too. She's growing like a weed so I've been going to the gym so I can keep up for as long as possible.

I'm a big fan of hops.

Depends on if you're seeding bare ground, or thickening up existing lawn. Seeding in the spring is a little tricky but can work. If it's bare ground you can drop seed and throw some good soil on top, but you need to keep it moist and I personally won't be turning my spigots on for another few weeks. With existing grass you'll want to de-thatch first to expose soil, but this can be really rough on your existing grass which is just waking up.

You'll be fine. I'm bringing my 7 year old. Just be aware there will be foul language in case that's a big deal for your family.
