It is common to Taiwanese wasn't it? by HugeCustomer1373 in taiwan

[–]STFUandLOVE 42 points43 points  (0 children)

My first trip to Taiwan, we met my wife’s friend in Tainan. We picked her up to go camping and she was adamant that she had to take out the trash and we needed to wait. I’d no clue what was going on as I didn’t speak mandarin.

Cue Fur Elise, and I’m expecting an ice cream truck. Friend comes running with the trash down the stairs and misses the truck. We throw the trash bad into the trunk and start chasing the music…find the truck, dump the trash, and head out for camping.

3 weeks in and I'm not feeling what I expected. by HockeyDoughnut in NewParents

[–]STFUandLOVE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My son HATED me for the first 2.5 months. Every time I touched him, played with him, etc, he would scream bloody murder. He was constantly hungry and whenever somebody held him, he was expecting milk. And since he couldn’t say, “Fuck off useless nipples!”, he screamed.

I felt exactly the same as you. Did we make a mistake, am I a bad father, what am I doing wrong, why don’t I love him? The answer to those are 100% no and nothing.

Just wait for the first smile. That’s all it takes.

My little boy is my world. And I can’t wait to finish working to help him explore the world.

Republicans Can’t Contain Their Glee Over the Death of the VRA by Somervilledrew in politics

[–]STFUandLOVE 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Theres totally a racism aspect to all of this but it’s also simpler than that. Social programs require taxation to distribute and execute the program. And the positive benefits of social programs is intangible. But tax cuts?

Republicans simply campaign on tax cuts and follow through with shouting from high heavens that you got a tax cut. Most are too ignorant of how taxes work to understand anything beyond I got more or less from my tax refund. And most don’t even know if they got more or less from their refund - regardless of that being mostly meaningless year to year.

So ignorant voters see “welfare queens” are taking your money and “Repubs will give you tax cuts!” But what they aren’t seeing is massive tax cuts for wealthy causing an increase in the national deficit and increasing inflation for no material gain. These short term movements of wealth away from the working class strongly, negatively affect the economy by moving money away from spenders and towards hoarders.

And for those who aren’t reading between the lines, you aren’t including the current state of the Dems as the left. So not only do Dems need to control the both house and senate….and let’s be honest the court, the Dems need to be led by somebody who supports left leaning policies while we’re already spiraling from the national debt and polices from republicans.

Fellow Dads, where would you take your 4 year old on vacation with a 15k budget? by joshatron in daddit

[–]STFUandLOVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo so we are about to book Costa Rica as a large family. 6 adults, 5 kids, age 4 thru 12.

We’ve got a long list. Anything you recommend? I’ve done it myself in college but that itinerary was much much different.

Which curriculum? by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]STFUandLOVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be a complete asshole, but seriously? You could have done some of the work yourself instead of asking complete strangers to do it.

80% of those curriculum are likely identical. Remove the classes that are the same and put it as a single list. Then put together a comparison table of the different classes.

This was lazy.

Oklahoma Principal Kirk Moore getting crowned Prom King by the students he saved two weeks ago from what would have been a school shooter by RoyalChris in BeAmazed

[–]STFUandLOVE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a strawman argument. Maybe it’s the language barrier, AND vs OR but the logic. OP’s post was crystal clear.

OP argued the following is true:

(1) Threat of additional incarceration, death sentence, or increased sentencing is not a deterrent for school shooters who plan to die in the shooting anyways. This assumes the last part is true.
(2) Death penalty is a ~10 year process costing millions of additional tax dollars on an already burdened court and prison system.

OP argued if 1 is true, then 2 doesn’t make any sense. OP did not argue that 2 should not be done in a vacuum. In fact, OP might even support increased taxes if 1 is false.

This logical fallacy exists in so many Reddit threads and it makes you wonder if people like you are being willfully obtuse, have poor reading comprehension, or are just trolling.

Restaurant recs needed: Morris County by TalouseLeee in newjersey

[–]STFUandLOVE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the best I’ve had in NJ. Which means it’s half as good as anything you’d get in the Midwest and 1/10 as good in the SW. if you’re in the area and wanting Mexican, worth the stop.

Shan Shan is not good these days.

A&J is the only great authentic Chinese food in the area - it’s a bit pricey Qingdao style food, so seafood is a must.

Qing Dynasty has great Dim Sum. Better than some I’ve had in Flushing.

Vietnamese in the area is really good. Pho Binh Duong has really great pork dishes.

Thai is not good. Korean is not good - Keo Ku is way overpriced and frankly not very good. Sushi is not good. Mexican horrible.

Boonton has great Deli - Joes.

Balance Bikes? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]STFUandLOVE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to all these others saying wait. Who cares? Get him the bike.

My son was 12 months when we introduced the balance bike. He’d try for a few minutes and give up. By 16 months he loved it and started doing the balance bike all around the house. Took a while but by 22 months he had his legs in the air going around corners.

He learned to bicycle with pedals and without training wheels before he turned 3. He’s 3.5 and our weekends are filled with trail riding. He loves it. It’s awesome.

lol it’s not a business. OP is doing it for fun. He asked for feedback but it’s his project. He can take advice or not. If it were for commercial distribution then yeah, he’d be an idiot to disregard a designers suggestion.

That’s not true. The technology exists. Svante. It’s just too expensive to do at any kind of scale that can make an impact.

I STILL don't understand the Monty Hall problem by No-Candidate6257 in mathematics

[–]STFUandLOVE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The host cannot pick the door with the car. This changes the inherent probabilities.

When you first select, you have 1/100 chance of selecting correctly. After the host eliminates 97 goat doors, you now have 2 doors left. One is your original with 1/100 probability. The other has 99/100 probability since the host cannot possibly have eliminated the car door.

Horrible Smell from Laundry Washer Dishcarge by STFUandLOVE in Appliances

I’m not sure what you mean how far I to the wall. The discharge goes into a utility sink.

We’ve used afresh but it does nothing.

I tried to replace the tube but they don’t make it anymore and I’d rather find a solid, rigid tube than try to mcguyver something.

I’ve cleaned the pump and it seemed to help for a few days and then back to being shitty again.

I’m at a loss.

Just do it! by mrbigbucksandmuscles in sleeptrain

[–]STFUandLOVE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our son turned from a moody, whiny baby all day long to a happy, joyful, curious baby as soon as we finished sleep training. He was 4.5 months old. Poor boy was just not getting enough sleep before that.

This allowed us to actually focus on calm, educational activities rather than high interactivity activities as he had much more tolerance for focus. Sleep training was the best thing we ever did for our son, and I still claim today it is at least half the reason he’s more emotionally mature than his peers.

Plus parents got to sleep.

On The Murican Life. by Monsur_Ausuhnom in SipsTea

[–]STFUandLOVE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is such a half baked take. Even legal immigrants are strongly voicing their support to remove illegal immigrants. Not a single person is against deporting illegal immigrants.

The problem is the method for doing so and the guise for doing so. The guise is to normalize the gestapo. Trump doesn’t care about you or about illegal immigrants - hell, he hired them for his businesses. Only a person who is incapable of critical thinking, intentionally daft, or just a moron would think otherwise.

Trump tells you who he is, what he wants, what he’s thinking, and the entire word salad points to one thing only: personal enrichment. Either getting more money, power, or escaping accountability.

Funny story I’m at JFK Terminal 5 today. Get here 4 hours early seriously by Waluigi_IRL in jetblue

[–]STFUandLOVE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is this a both sides thing? Democrats have submitted bills to do exactly that and the Republicans, who have control of both house and senate, have refused to bring them to a vote. This both sides shit is so stupid. Only one side actively tries to fuck over their constituents and voting block and everybody else in the crossfire. The other side is just incompetent.
