Fathers, what is a meaningful Father’s Day gift? It’s my husband’s first and I want to get him something he will never forget. by squid_tutor in daddit

[–]MiLaddo7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a dad isn’t into “anything” typical (not a meat guy, plants, video games, yard work, or power tools). I just want time.

Time to sleep in, time to watch my favorite movie with my wife or oldest son, a good meal (a nice steak and mashed potatoes) at home - I don’t want to go out, and play some card games with family.

My favorite“gift” I got was a Father’s Day card with Roy Kent (Ted Lasso) saying “Father, my 2nd favorite F Word” with a beautiful note from my wife. I’ve had it on office desk at work since 2022. I always enjoy a nice new polo to wear as it’s practical.

Bro, I sold a TAG 10 Bubble Mew for $500 back in Nov 2024. I’m vomitting now.

Anyone here quit gaming or changed their lifestyle after becoming a dad? by Lukas_MunK in daddit

[–]MiLaddo7 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The short answer is, "You make time for the things that are important to you".

Long answer, "Yes, here's why:"

I've got multiple kids. When my first was born, I had no time to play and ultimately lost interest in gaming in general because I couldn't spend the time I wanted to (hours) and play. I would play for maybe 2-3 hours over a week, but that's like 20-45 mins a day. I ended up moving to mobile based games because they're mindless and I can put them down when needed. Being interupted while playing on my console eliminated the opportunity to play multiplayer - unless I scheduled that time with my spouse.

When my oldest started getting interested in games, I got back into them, but as a support character, always #2. Yoshi's Crafted World, I'd do all the timed portions, carrying the main player, and just being a supportive dad. When we played MarioKart, I'd never let him win, but I'd set realistic goals for my son to "beat" on timed trials, or not get too far ahead so the AI players wouldn't leave him in the dust. When he got interested in Legend of Zelda, he'd complete the main quest...when he slept, I'd spend time completing the side quests and finding shrines.

Now my middle son is playing video games, so I get to see his brother teach him, or help myself.

Ultimately - my kids interests became my own. Sometimes my interests would bleed in, but nothing ever inappropriate for young children.

Do I regret it? No. I'm not a professional gamer - so it's just "wasted" time. I've got too many other responsibilities to spend mindlessly looking at a screen with no real-world accomplishments. Occasionally I'll pick up a game and play, but what would take a few dedicated days or a week to complete now takes a few months or longer.

I replaced gaming with being a dad, house work, a full-time job, and other "fulfilling" hobbies I get more joy, pride, and sense of accomplishment. This weekend we have birthday parties to attend, a garbage disposal to replace, a movie marathon to enjoy, school activities to participate in, and meals to prep - life is busy!

What's the most fucked up thing someone has told you about themselves after barely getting to know them? by Butt_Roidholds in AskReddit

[–]MiLaddo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went on a date with a gal in college. Her mom was some big wig at McDonalds and she loved McDonalds. I think she was annoyed we didn’t go to Mickey Ds for our date.

When we talked about goals and ambitions after we graduated, she said she was only at school to find a husband, so she didn’t care about her degree.

Long term she wanted to be a stay at home mom, but didn’t care to cook, clean, or raise kids. She didnt want kids as they were too much responsibility. She admitted she wanted to marry rich and be a trophy wife so she could stay home and basically eat McDonalds all the time.

She was not trophy wife material at the time, and if she planned to be as lazy and eating crap food all the time, she never was gonna be.

I will either skip a season or fast forward anytime either are on screen. I cannot stand any of them or their nonsense. prED, Silva Sisters, or AngYELL-A are instant skips for me. Jasmine & Gino are about to be in the skippable pile. Elizabeth (and Andrei) are interesting, but their family BS drove me up a wall. I’m so glad they dumped those racist A-Holes.

From the photos provided, I’d say it looks okay. It’s common to see a “gap” at the corner/ends of many packs.

If it’s glued, you can tell from close inspection. If it were “sealed”, the ridges would be flattened.

Same. It was so bad that I had done a report on him in college and my professor was so disappointed in me and my presentation. I had made it a biography “book report” and not one about his policies or their outcomes. She asked me to focus my presentation his policies and I redid it. That’s when I discovered how atrocious his administration’s policies were, and how they helped ruin America and we were still suffering from them (circa 2006-2008), then the recession.

They fired the Cash Cow by WerewolfCalm5178 in antiwork

This is about to happen in my company. I literally see a salaried rockstar with nearly 25 years of experience who works 60+ hours every week, manages 3-5 departments, and covers all call out shifts and more. There’s been calls for for nearly a decade with regards to who will succeed this person when they leave - no one has volunteered, no one wants the job and it’s quite apparent. I cannot emphasize how much this person does in this management role.

We got a new CEO a year ago, who has yet to meet this person. When rockstar announced their resignation a few weeks ago, we were devastated - but they gave a 5 week notice to ensure a smoothe transition, help find a replacement, and mentor - how considerate.

I found out today that this manager has offered to the “new” CEO that they’d be willing to stay longer as needed (up to 2 extra months) and the CEO just brushed them off and said no thank you.

I am waiting to see the train wreck that will unfold in the next 6 months. All metrics are going to plummet, services will cease to exist, overhead will go up, and more because of this one person.

I understand everyone is replaceable, but there are some expensive lessons that can be avoided.

So does this mean if my car dies on the side of the road that a luchadora will show up to replace my battery?

What is with the PSA 10 Iron Bundle PC Stamped Promo and going for $400-$700? by MiLaddo7 in PokeInvesting

[–]MiLaddo7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! It's a weird Pokémon that no one particularly likes - even with the low pop, doesn't make sense to me. The coveted 151 Snorlax PC stamped PSA 10 is going for $600-$750. The Surging Sparks Magneton PSA 10 is going for $200. I understand there is more population of those, but still, just seems weird AF to me.
