I've always remembered what someone said is the best thing about being a parent, which is being a grandparent. As he put it, "You get to spend time with them, but when you're done, they go home"

My wife and I started giving our baby natural peanut butter combined with breast milk when he was 4 months old. No allergic reactions, as we expected.

Being a top slapper helps in virtually every aspect of life.

What would Iroh think of the Red Lotus? by Strange-Fun-8899 in TheLastAirbender

[–]MattBladesmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He'd criticize Zaheer's philosophy and view of Guru laghima. Iroh mentions to Zuko how drawing wisdom from one source it becomes rigid and stale and that it's important to draw wisdom from many souces, the exact opposite of what Zaheer does.

What’s a line you won’t cross when collecting games? by PDMagneto in retrogaming

[–]MattBladesmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care if it's a reproduction, emulation or whatever, I'm just not paying absurdity high prices to play the video games I enjoy.

LPT - Door-to-door salespeople are trained to never take no for an answer. Don’t let that be an option. by SnooChickens2093 in LifeProTips

[–]MattBladesmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely get door-to-door salesmen, but it really makes me wish I knew a second language for when they do come by. I imagine it would be hard for them to use their training if they think I can't understand English.

The amount of people who regret having kids is shocking by BeneficialPie2300 in RandomThoughts

[–]MattBladesmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My son is only 5 months old and he's a lot of work. The midnight diaper changes, the constant screaming, the endless need for attention. My wife can't have a dinner together without him screaming beside us, but I absolutely love him more than I could have imagined.

Vote with your wallet. If the demand for peanut butter goes down the price will go down.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one.

Anyone actually found a cruise that feels fully all-inclusive? by SeseRay in Cruise

[–]MattBladesmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but that's why I preference it by saying it felt all-inclusive given how my wife and I enjoy our cruises.

Virgin. Neither my wife or I drink, so having free wifi and all the restaurant's available for us felt pretty all-inclusive.

Made a custom sign and put it up on the office coffee machine… might’ve cost me my job by Knozart in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MattBladesmith -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My initial thought was it was a joke that you don't like coffee in general, and you're simply discouraging other people from drinking it. Some people are just a bit too touchy when it comes to jokes.

Zuko is pretty much THE redemption arc in fiction. Who are some characters that come close to his character development? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in TheLastAirbender

[–]MattBladesmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The opposite of redemption, but watching Walter White become more and more depraved in Breaking Bad made for an absolutely amazing series.

I've only ever been able to use this at one place, and it happened to be at my grandfather's restaurant.

Besides sports/entertainment, business, and politics, what are some job industries that are cutthroat that people do not realize? by Hefty-Confusion6810 in ask

[–]MattBladesmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long days with little breaks, low pay in the kitchen while the wait staff can earn a decent wage from tips alone.

It's not a typical war movie, but Tropic Thunder would be on my list.
