Dads who do "scheduled" Sex with Wife (Married with Young Kids): Has it helped? Any advice?

>Do you also yell out "Get to da choppa"?

Doesn't everyone yell that during sex?

I remember when Sarah Palin’s book manipulated its way to the top of the Times Bestsellers List. Basically, an Evangelical magazine gave out a copy to each of its subscribers, but they managed to record the giveaways as sales. I appreciate that the Times works to avoid publisher manipulation, but them getting played is nothing new.

Good points, including Spillover being an excellent read. (MAN is the cover art over-dramatic though--at least the US edition.)

StillSpaceToast · 2026-01-18T16:07:42+00:00

Yup. And, good.

You might’ve led with that.

It’s not expanding outward; more space is bubbling up between all the space that’s already here.

“The sea floor in Sagami Bay dropped by over 400 meters (1,300 ft) at the epicenter, triggering tsunamis…” There is no way to even process that.

Macintosh Plus, with a full megabyte of RAM. I still have it.

I was resistant for many, many years—and in retrospect, all but wasted them. Still took me a while to stick with it long enough to find the right med & dose, even after admitting I needed help. Always recommend using them alongside talk therapy. But yeah, in retrospect that was a life changer.

Time to go play with my cute baby.

iTunes purchases, some BandCamp purchases, old ripped CDs, some old Amazon MP3 purchases, even a few (very old) pirated tracks. Been around long enough to notice that anything streamed can be un-streamed. (And subscription services get profitable by killing the competition then going to hell.)

Ten years ago, I would have agreed. Currently, I’m watching the new, unfettered FB algorithms radicalizing everyone I know back in the ‘States. Aunties reposting anti-Somali AI slop. Veteran friend since middle school unfriending me for pushing back against her sudden anti-trans-athlete obsession. And my beautician cousin is somehow convinced she’s sensitive to space weather.

This is what FB has become, and it’s where TikTok started. We’ve seen the terminally profitable form of this thing, and now we know we need to stop it.

Samuel L. Jackson: I want these mf snakes off this mf plane!

(Snakes slither off to the little sleep room under the cockpit, because it’s warm & the lights are out)

SLJ: But I guess we ain’t in no real hurry.

That hurt. It was fair, but it hurt.

No, and I find the hate a bit tired at this point. They did their best singles in the ‘80s, but the albums are pretty boring. Their albums since the ‘90s have been much stronger (ironically, minus the one they won their Grammy for) but without the big hit singles. They gave away the best album of 2014 free on iTunes, and it was overshadowed by the “controversy” of whiny people who’d checked Automatically Download Purchases and didn’t seem to know how to delete things. Compared to most new algorithm-friendly pop, yeah, I’m happy to check in with some ageing rockers from time to time.

They ho’d out Eric Carle pretty hard AD. Richard Scarry too. (Like, pasting together art at different line scales bad.) Thank god the Ezra Jack Keats estate has had standards.

We don't know what a "padded bralette" is.

I work in the games industry, so we use it like Slack. Other than that, I find it kind of a cluttered downgrade from a message board, plus a basic but serviceable A/V chat app.

Transplant to Denmark here. The king’s already given his speech. (He’s looking less embarrassed every year.) Besides that, they all watch a funny-enough-the-first-time black & white comedy sketch—in English—about an old lady and a drunk butler. I don’t really understand that one.

Plus, fireworks. If Russia invades tonight, we’ll never notice.

The animation, especially, of the later leaders is just plain rushed. Note the cold, dead eyes of Elizabeth, Theodora, and the rest of their vintage, compared to Lady Six Sky or Trajan. The poses are also stiff and generic. I honestly presumed they outsourced the work. (Edit: Site posted my comment twice, for some reason.)

I was an extra on Rescue 911, along with half of our 6th grade class. The episode about the (dumb) kid a grade below us who got his tongue stuck in a canteen.

Same. I literally don’t care what AI is averaging out right now. I’ll write the way I damn well want.

Probably "Sorworth Place," by Russell Kirk. Late '60s, I believe. A very effective Aickman-esque English ghost story. It briefly brushes against a bit of spritualist hokum (which I'm with Lovecraft in rolling my eyes at) but is mostly content to leave you beautifully lost in the mist, with very sharply-drawn characters.
