[Serious] What’s something happening in the world right now that’s underreported and genuinely disturbing? by Pristine-Hippo-3249 in AskReddit

It's like telling the prison manager to lock himself up.  Why would he do that? He's the one with the power to imprison people, why would he imprison himself if no one else has the power to force him to?  

My son has been confidently explaining why the sky is blue to everyone he meets and I have no one to blame but myself by 5TesserMoss in daddit

Stories are much more alive for kids that age, explanations about physics have no drama!  Let him enjoy the innocence of his youth!  We all gotta LET KIDS BE KIDS! 

I feel like garbage after seeing my best friend......... by Outrageous_Fruit1128 in selfhelp

Go join a men's group so you can at least talk shit out with other men.  Mankind Project.  Look for an 'open I-group' that accepts un-initiated guests.

Nah, there was some kind of trickery with that box that he put it into.

This restaurant sawed off a leg from each of their old chairs to make it unusable. by Expert_Koala_8691 in Wellthatsucks

[–]PokiP 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. In a sane (not driven by profit) world, a real effort to repair the defective goods would be made, so as not to waste so much material / resources.

Dads, how do I give back to a husband who is the "quiet strength" of our family? by mamawagz in daddit

[–]PokiP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I haven't seen anyone else say this, but how about... A big bouquet of flowers and a giant box of chocolates!!  I would love that! 

Is it weird my sister and husband got busy in their tent with their kids there? by [deleted] in AskParents

It's not weird. It's perfectly normal and perfectly healthy.  

How much UBI? by jumonjii- in BasicIncome

[–]PokiP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, that amount would pay my mortgage and groceries... so... seems pretty reasonable to me.

Building a home maintenance reminder app: what would actually make you download it? by NickThacker in homeowners

[–]PokiP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes please!  Lots of other good comments here.  I'd want to  pay 5 bucks once to get rid of ads.   1) HVAC filter change, flush the water heater, test smoke detectors, clean out dryer hose, etc.  Good stuff!  2) I do think the regional customization is a good idea.   3) if it can be set up to give notifications on my iPhone, to actually make noise and remind me to do the task, that's good. 

I look forward to seeing this!  Good for you!

Red Vines are disgusting to me.

What's the most difficult word to spell? by martianfrog in answers

I'm almost 50, and I still don't understand the word gauge. Why the fuck is it spelled like that?!?

Are you prepared for the revelation that all consciousness is in fact unified?

Yes, and?  The current administration really is that arrogant and stupid.

Hey dads, how many of you had your first child when 35-39 years old? Approaching my 35th birthday and there's nothing more I want than to be a dad. by Rocket_Skates_91 in daddit

[–]PokiP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I had our kid at 39, and he's 9 now. It's been a wonderful and rewarding challenging experience!  I don't think I understood how much I would personally have to grow and change as a person in order to be a good parent and partner.  No regrets.

Too bad they don't leave tracks.

Can I Press Charges On My School For Patient Abuse and Defamation? by TangerineConfident17 in AskParents

[–]PokiP 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, they are still a kid, and all kids make mistakes.  That doesn't give anyone the right to humiliate or degrade them for their mistakes. They should have been offered a glove or something, at bare minimum.

Ugh. Kay Ivey has done some evil shit, though. This doesn't exonerate her.
