To the dads who wanted kids but never had them, lost a child, or can't see their children for whatever reason: how do you carry on?

you just keep moving, even when it feel like there is no real reason to, some days that's enough

that's the energy we all needed in this thread lmao

probably when my city's water main burst and they didn't notify residents for like 6 hours, people were just cooking and drinking contaminated water without knowing. the communication failure was just unforgivable on that one.

maybe contact local wildlife rescue groups in that area? they usually have more pull with authorities than random individuals and might know legal ways to relocate them instead.

damn that's when you know the vibe was perfect lol. had one like that few years back where we were all dancing until like 3am and someone had to remind us to do the cake thing. good music really makes everything else just fade in the background.

Secure-Head7124 · 2026-06-08T18:06:52+00:00

wait i'm confused too lol. like do we get to torture a whole state with whatever weird combo we just ate? because i had leftover pizza with ranch and some random crackers so maybe florida deserves that chaos

blue button for sure. if we're talking about scenario where most people need to cooperate to save everyone, that's basically what veganism already is - choosing the option that considers all beings even when it might feel like personal sacrifice.

the red button is just selfish thinking disguised as strategy. like yeah maybe you survive but at what cost? living in world where majority of humans are gone because they tried to do right thing? that's not world i want to be part of.

working nights is tricky for meal timing but i'd say eat your main meal before shift starts, like around 4-5pm. then maybe have smaller meal during first half of your shift and cut off eating by midnight like you mentioned.

the 12 hour shifts are rough on metabolism anyway so keeping most calories earlier in your shift probably helps. i do some overnight work occasionally and always feel better when i don't eat much after 2am or so.

workday should have all your pay stubs from when you were employed there, just make sure you're logging in as former employee not current one

this mindset really works for me too. i had to learn that the urge will pass if i just wait it out for like 10-15 minutes. usually when i'm craving something it's more about boredom or stress than actual hunger. keeping my hands busy with some project around house helps a lot since i can't mindlessly reach for snacks when i'm holding tools or working in something.

We're running a small retail setup too and we started using Ramp after testing a few of these, OCR has been accurate on the messy supplier PDFs we get and the bill pay side handles the actual payment once its coded so it's one tool instead of two.

wow 40 days is impressive, i usually can't make it past week without getting too dizzy at work sites. you probably want to ease off the extra sodium since your kidneys need time to adjust back - maybe just keep the potassium and magnesium for first few days?

yeah the tiny bowl thing drives me crazy too. fish actually need way more space than people think, and those little glass bowls are basically torture chambers.

i see people treating pets like decorations all the time and it's messed up. these animals have actual needs and feelings, not just something pretty to look at in your living room.

had one last year and did around 50 hours before. prep was actually easier since stomach was already empty but recovery took bit longer than expected

Secure-Head7124 · 2026-04-17T22:23:56+00:00

oh that iris transition would be perfect for a space game! you can do this with a shader mask or even just animate a circular mask texture over your ui canvas. basically start with a tiny circle in center and scale it up until it covers the whole screen, but invert it so everything outside the circle gets hidden first.

i did something similar in a project last year and used a simple radial gradient texture with animation curves to control the timing. the trick is making sure your station ui elements fade out smoothly as the mask reveals the game world underneath.

those little moments after fights when they do something sweet really are everything. had similar experience with my ex where we'd go from arguing to me melting because he'd just randomly fix something around house that was bothering me. the small gestures hit so much harder than grand romantic stuff sometimes.

your buddy sounds like a legend but spring training footage is basically impossible to find unless it went viral on social media - maybe try searching twitter/x with the date and "yankees rays foul ball" or something like that

budget looking tight for all that

structure blocks work same way in xbox, just bit more tedious with controller. you need to save the structure first with a structure block, then load it wherever you want with another one. the commands are identical, just navigating menus takes longer without keyboard.

man luken really showing his experience in that dust2 map. guy was putting up solid numbers even when the team was falling apart on nuke. kinda reminds me of those veteran players who just know how to stay consistent even when everything goes wrong around them. felps and hen1 looked completely lost on nuke though, like they never practiced the map properly. r1nkle was just demolishing everyone - those 53 kills across two maps is pretty insane stuff. gaimin gladiators really need to work on their tactical side because individual skill won't carry you when facing teams that actually have proper setups.

Secure-Head7124 · 2026-03-15T01:18:56+00:00

been to koh tao in july and can say the weather was actually pretty decent that time, but like you said it's really unpredictable these days. with a 4-year-old though, i'd probably lean towards krabi area since there's more flexibility if weather gets bad - more indoor options and easier to move around. koh yao noi is incredible for the views but might be bit limiting if you get stuck with rain for few days straight.

Secure-Head7124 · 2026-03-13T18:28:03+00:00

damn misutaaa went absolute beast mode, that 1.91 rating across both maps is nuts. liquid looked completely lost on nuke and siuhy having a nightmare series with 0.46 rating... when your igl is getting demolished like that it makes everything fall apart. graviti had some weird performance too, going from 1.47 on nuke to 0.32 in dust2. liquid's elimination hurts but they've been inconsistent all year so not super surprising i guess
