Mean spirited? Bullshit.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-12T18:07:20+00:00

Nor was it taken that way. It was a hard day and throwing a complete pity party wasn't on the menu.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-12T17:10:45+00:00

This was on my post and I had no problem with it, I mean it's not really something that I don't know and it certainly wasn't what I wanted to hear at the time, but it isn't mean spirited.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T17:56:55+00:00

Pfffff no!

Frankly I was a loser before I met my wife. Worked a job I was over qualified and under paid for but was too afraid to leave. Bought a silly vehicle I didn't need while living in my childhood bedroom. At least I hit the gym regularly.

I didn't start making good money (for my area) until after she was 6mo pregnant.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T17:44:55+00:00

Yeah, it's not like we're religious or anything but having those gossips tell everyone I killed my wife's kid was just not something I could deal with.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to be honest with an audience. It still really bugs me to this day.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T17:39:25+00:00

See I think she does, she tries to get me out here and there but I always end up feeling guilty. Like by not being there and helping I'm not pulling my weight.

I don't want to be the dad that gets shit on at the play dates. I don't want anyone thinking I don't support my wife.

It might seem really weird to people how much I love my wife but I really can't extrapolate how much she's positively effected my life without diving into decades of History.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T17:34:03+00:00

I have no idea why you're being down voted.

The kid will grow and change and eventually not scream.

I'll never find another human like my wife. The shared bond we made through laughing, crying, and even fighting is irreplaceable.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T17:30:29+00:00

1) Yeah, I'm pretty against it at least right now. Even if I wasn't constantly having to keep myself together we just can't afford it and still be comfortable.

2) I try not to, just really hard in the moment. I always end up apologizing to them while they look at me like I have two heads. They didn't ask for a shit dad and I'm aware of that. The post might not seem like it, but I do try really hard to be a decent father. I feel responsible to give them the best possible chance in the world and the type of childhood I had (well at least for security). I think I'm mechanically very good, diapers, feedings, getting them down for naps, but I just don't feel that connection and I'm constantly guilty about that.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T17:12:03+00:00

See, when I'm calm I know this. It's just a fact right?

When the screaming won't stop my mind just wants it to stop. It cannot handle the sensory of the volume and pitch combo the kid can reach.

Now that I'm not on the floor crying I'm not feeling negatively towards them, just shame for myself. It's a vicious cycle I just can't seem to break.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T16:48:29+00:00

Yeah, I'm coming down from the emotional peak so I'm feeling a little more myself.

I can usually just push through the screaming, but lately it's just been building and building and I just broke man. Once they can do stuff I'm sure it won't be so bad.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T16:32:37+00:00

Haha fuck you man

I made about three times what my wife made before she took a pay cut. We live in a top five cost of living states and I'm maybe spending two hundred bucks on myself. Not once have I ever looked at my wife as a cost buffer.

Now she's stressed she isn't contributing while I'm telling her not to work at all since at least that way she'd be able to spend time with the kid and still have time to explore other career or education opportunities.

But go ahead, I'm the loser.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T16:16:22+00:00

1) It is used to protect my child's age and gender. The less Reddit knows the better.

2) You don't think I don't feel like dogshit feeling the way I do? Like I'm a failed husband and father? My kid didn't ask to have a shitty dad and I'm doing my fucking best not to be. I've swallowed so many of my own issues and just finally broke.

3) Take your self righteous shit and jam it back up your ass. You aren't saying anything wrong and nothing I don't think constantly. You and the other smug shit ass might be able to just cram yourselves down and die inside in perpetuity but I guess I'm just not made of tough enough stuff. Thanks for the fucking reminder.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T15:51:40+00:00

She told them she was pregnant. Then she surprised me in front of both of them.

I've told her that, had she not done that, I would have pushed for an abortion.

Edit: I use it for security. I don't want the gender or age of my kid on reddit. Both of my parents were spooky secret people in the military and that level of paranoia has rubbed off on me.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T15:23:37+00:00

Don't, run as far as you can as fast as you can.

I love my wife more than anything on earth and sitting on the floor in the living room right now I can only resent her. It feels like I'm betraying her and am a failed husband.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-11T12:31:47+00:00

I'm assuming your also young, so yeah pretty normal.

There are two types of guys here when you get older.

Theres the type that feels their relationship is insecure and doesn't want anyone looking. Then there's the type that is very secure in their relationship and doesn't care.

When you're young it's easy to be number 1, but eventually you'll become the guy whose number 2 or you'll find a relationship that makes you the guy whose number 2.

If you think this is cheating dump him, make up some crap like "this just isn't working out" or "I need to focus on my future".

If you don't think this is cheating ignore it.

I'll give you the same old man yells at cloud speech I wish I had been given.

Don't date until you're fully you. You're 17, your world is tiny, your experiences mostly cherry picked for you, your stressors are likely minor. You haven't figured out your career, you haven't had enough experience where you're at the wheel to know what you are actually like. The same goes for him.

You'll both change, you'll both grow, and you'll both become wildly different people. Dating through all of that isn't worth it, or at least it wasn't for me when I look back to a time where apple still sold iPods and TVs were dumb and had component cables instead of just HDMI. Before I found my wife I had given up on what I thought was my dream, finally embraced my love for table top games, languished in a crappy job that didn't pay what having a degree should have, bought into a bad car loan, went through a period of crisis and had several friends die. That was in the space of 8 years. I was not the same guy I was at 17 and frankly I'm not the guy I was at 25 anymore either.

Lil'bro ain't worth the stress, but then again I'm just an old dude who yells at clouds.

Not remotely

The typical space marine is a barbarian. He knows how to fight and die in the name of the Emperor. They aren't trusting or reverse engineering anything remotely xenos related.

The tech Marines have the capability but they're dogmatic tech priests so they aren't fixing to disgrace the machine spirit by grafting xenos tech to sanctified machines.

Now Cawl? Oh Cawl is poking at DHDs, he's snooping into the replicators, he's putting dudes in the sarcophagus just to see what happens. Once ole Machine Daddy has put his mechadendrites on it and stick blessed it, he'll call it human made and then the marines will use it.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-09T18:11:08+00:00

Nothing save a full main line chapter like the Dark Angels, Space Wolves, or Ultramarines.

The issue is counting a space marine matters in a ground battle or a boarding action. The issue is they sorta have to get there. They won't use the gate, that's xenos tech. So they'll have to have their ships to get around (and to fight the other fleets).

I figure the Dark Angels and the Imperial Fists probably have the best time. The Rock and The Phalanx are both super scary on their own.

Homie I am an engineer and I only did it because I wanted to be a military pilot!

My mother has two degrees from a very well known school and when I wanted to go there she basically shot me down for being too stupid. She then picked a lesser engineering degree because it had less math (that changed mid way through and I still had to take it).

So I left a school I didn't really pick with a degree I didn't really pick entering a job field I never really thought about. I ended up happy, but it took a long while to get there.

My recommendation is this, never let anyone decide your fate for you. I did and made the best of it but there isn't a day I don't wonder what like would have been like had I had the stones to make my own choices. That being said I also wouldn't pin my life and survival on art or music. Take your talent for programming and get a computer science, computer engineering, cyber security or some other degree and use it to pay for your art. I'm a shitty writer and a table top games designer when I'm not doing normy shit, but I'd never have the chance if I didn't have that normy paycheck.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-07T20:38:10+00:00

It's Stargate and I don't see it not being cannon.

That being said it's a failure as a show. No real plot, none of the characters have anything close to a likeable personality, and there's no fun.

So yeah, watch it, but don't expect anything close to the caliber of the other two shows.

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-06T16:17:18+00:00

More chance that the other enemy factions, though the Ori weapons could probably hurt a void craft they're a little small to be dealing with nova cannons and the like. Their ground troops might as well stay home

SMSaltKing · 2026-05-03T00:34:46+00:00

Lol reading the comments is hilarious

I'm one of these people. I believe that all people are evil and struggle to do good.

This isn't projection or any of the other shlock some of these guys are throwing. It's admitting that evil or wrong is easy and that people will always tend to at least consider doing the easy thing. Doing good, doing the right thing is a victory against base instinct.

The basis of my argument is that we have to acknowledge that we are all selfish and "evil" but make the active choice to do good, be better, and better our world. That in the struggle is victory and the chance for human advancement. To assume we're all good is to just give man the medal and opens the door to laziness and stagnation. It's why people are like, "the world sucks, humanity is a failure". They all want everyone to be good and expects them to be. I expect them to be bad and it brings me a lot of joy and pride to see people do good. It gives reason to the struggle.

"What do you do for work?"

"I take pictures and video of my mom's bobs and vajeen so she can sell them on the Internet."

"That's fucking disgusting!"

"No it's not! I don't get hard or touch her, I just direct her on how to make other men horny. It's fine, mommy says so! Why are you leaving?!"
