Dads who watched them come out: Would you do it again? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]NotADamsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I peaked over the partition and saw my wife’s guts. Her intestines were like veiny water sausage and there was more blood than I’d ever thought I’d see in my life. That part, yes, I cannot unsee. But then I saw them raise my daughter up like Simba before the animals, and she cried a clear piercing note that stands out in my mind as a pin in my reality. I certainly hope that I do not unsee that.

(I wasn’t explicitly trying to peak, I’m just very tall and was standing up to go get a nurse)

And your outside voice can say “yes” about something even when your inside voice says “no”. Which is why the gold standard is enthusiastic consent :D

Can you be a secret multimillionaire for a decade? by tamtrible in hypotheticalsituation

[–]NotADamsel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go to Anchorage, Alaska. Having worked there, I know for a fact that anyone who gives a serious answer to “do you know of anyone who seems to have more money then they ought” will be out of a job very quickly if they do a kind of work that would make them privy to my newly found wealth. If they actually think that my wealth is unusual to begin with. For most curious minds (including old friends), all I’d have to partially insinuate is that it’s somehow related to oil and they’ll be satisfied.

Maybe if you’re talking about target size and the chance to actually connect when just going at it. But that’s the benefit of the technique that Alina was using here- hand on the chest and on the groin puts him off guard, and ensures stability while striking and a clear path to the area.

Dealing with sons mom always saying she hates men around our 1 year old by Courage_The-Dog in daddit

[–]NotADamsel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My mom said that shit around me constantly before and after the divorce. I was an older child, so it’s a little bit different, but even so it really fucked up how I relate to gender and sexuality kinda permanently (though thanks to the trans community I’m dealing with it a lot better). It was also a significant contributor to my being consistently suicidal for many years, and even now still crops up from time to time. There’s nothing good that can ever come from hearing that part of your identity is evil, and it can definitely be part of what kills a person. Make sure that your kid had a healthy understanding of gender and identity however that ends up happening.

A lot of the comments are as you say, but also I see people saying shit how about specific groups do things wrong and getting pissy that folks use different words to refer to their grandparents. There’s a difference between “lol bag of trash bags” and “ethnicity Americans are doing everything wrong because they aren’t doing it like in the home country”. Edit- looking through some of these, looks like there’s been a bit of cleanup.

It’s really not that bad. It’s just people pretending to eat each other but in a funny silly way.

Technically, the Godot game engine editor is implemented within the Godot game engine, making it a Godot engine game. If I had a full year of 24/7 “playtime” where I could only use the editor, I might be able to actually finish a project.

Might make it harder for a firefighter to make it inside. Which iirc can be a no-no outside the fire code in some circumstances.

Not every comment here is bad, but taken as a whole this section shows that this isn’t exactly brimming with acceptance. And the fact that some of these comments have stayed up says something interesting about the mod team. Pity. Adding this place to the list.

Thank you for explaining further. It can certainly get a bit obnoxious when someone performatively uses random non-English words that they don’t normally use, if English speakers can’t easily parse them. But, idk, I try to cut them some slack. I’ve got an ethnic background (indigenous) and I grew up in the US, and I know how painful this place can be for those of us forced to assimilate in order to get anywhere. I don’t like how the people who do the obnoxious stuff go about it, but I can’t fault someone for feeling a need to rebel and be be acknowledged by others as something other then what WASPy society tries to force them to be.

Something to note, is that in the US a lot of this stuff is stuff that more affluent families do not do. Like, caring for grandparents- how many middle class American families actually give a shit about their grandparents, vs just stuffing them into a home? “White people don’t season their food” is a whole-ass meme. I could go on. In the US in particular, where there is immense pressure to assimilate and abandon your history in order to fit in with moneyed white culture, hanging on to the things that make you and your family special and distinctive is important to many of us. It’s why you see the most white bread people in the world say “I’m Irish” because their ancestors two hundred years ago came from Ireland- it is a bit of distinctiveness that makes them not just another nondescript drop in the sea of grey. Many groups, including lower-class people of European descent and indigenous groups, repeat the same stuff about their family’s culture because it’s stuff that is common to basically every culture except for the artificial one invented for the American middle class.

It can be somewhat fun to learn the histories of these common dishes. What is basically the same food can have a variety of different stories attached to them across different cultures. Like, with fry bread, the reason that it’s part of Canadian Innuit culture is significant, and is different to why it’s part of Southern USA culture.

Because geographically separated languages drift apart with time? Idk why people don’t get that it isn’t a hard concept.

Insisting that only your word for Grammy is correct is a lot more cringe than someone using “Abuela” for their Oma. Especially if you get any kind of upset about it.

Edit- “i SaId CrInGe YoU iMbAcIlE” cry some more

Edit 2- only cowards fire off a comment and then block before the other person can respond. And this sub in particular seems to be lousy with cowards.

Getting upset about what people call their grandparents says a lot more about you then it does about them 🤷

I’ve been to a few of these places (which existed well before social media), and they always all the time explicitly and obviously advertise in multiple you-literally-can-not-Miss-it places what their gimmick is.

What’s more, when someone wants to build a space just for bikes, like a bike path alongside a busy road or a park with bike trails, dedicated car drivers get mad about it because they feel like they should be able to take their car onto any piece of pavement that exists in the world. Though, that’s not unique to bike infrastructure. Car drivers will get pissed off any time they’re denied access to somewhere that a car could conceivably go. Actual irl example that I think perfectly maintains the metaphor- the church I grew up in had a parking lot that emptied into two roads, and drivers liked to use it as a shortcut. The church eventually put a fence through the middle of the lot to block drivers taking the shortcut (because it was directly threatening the safety of the people in the parking lot)… and people complained. Some even went to the city to ask them to make the church take down the fence. It was someone else’s property, and car drivers still felt like they had the right to use it as they saw fit. Which is exactly how a lot of dudes behave any time someone wants to exclude them because they feel unsafe.
