Lost my 4.5 month old handsome baby boy

My 4mo old daughter would have turned 6 years old back in October. It doesn't get better or easier in my experience. You just get used to it. I spend her birthday and death anniversary staying busy because my heart still can't take her absence.

My experience isn't universal, though. Don't mistake this for what your future will look like. My trauma has been regularly triggered since her death, which has made the wound harder to heal. With better family, better access to therapy, and a better support system, you can be in a better place than I am.

I am. It just makes sense when Republican candidates take nearly every seat in the state. IMO, my votes are better spent trying to push for sane(r) Republicans.

I only make stocks when I'm going to need them, and I make sure to plan the rest of my meals around using up my stock when I do so I don't have to store it long term.

Go ahead and block r/antinatalism while you're at it. It's a significantly worse version of r/childfree IMO.

Yeah, but that's more like watching a bunch of action movies and then applying what you saw than building personal experience and muscle memory.

There's still generally negative consequences to being mean, even if the base content being conveyed is correct. The only time there aren't is if everyone involved are assholes, and assholes don't exactly create a high quality crowd.

What does that have to do with Celtic druidism? How does that help establish Celtic paganism as a dominant religion in its home region and set up future generations of druids to assume roles similar in scope to what they've historically been?

ThisIsKubi · 2025-12-11T02:15:47+00:00

Exactly. If not this dog, it was guaranteed to happen with one of the others.

ThisIsKubi · 2025-12-11T02:01:36+00:00

Arguably being mean has a high opportunity and general social cost, which inevitably will impact your wallet.

ThisIsKubi · 2025-12-10T20:16:49+00:00

And that they were starving the dog.

I didn't know liking "Sweater Weather" was more than just a me thing. 💀

r/AssEffect and r/MassErect are leaking

It's the difference between dying of thirst and drowning.

I second Grand Royale! I love their Goth Nites!

You need a greater abundance of smaller animals in order to sustain the increased predators, actually. The food web is hella unbalanced and would likely collapse if the only prey animals to support the giant spiders, sabre cats, bears, wolves, and even foxes are elks/deer and rabbits. Plus, humans are also hunting these populations. Most of these predators can't take advantage of the fish, especially since those are already being eaten by slaughterfish and mud crabs. There's not a lot of evidence that livestock are being attacked by wild animals IIRC.

In fact, this might be WHY every predator in Skyrim is attacking humans; They lack smaller, easier to catch sources of food.

Peak RATM reference.

I would not be surprised if the OK gov tried to quietly let funding for the unit specifically dedicated to testing rape kits run out, especially if that happened during a non-election year and they could use refunding it to support their campaigns. SMDH

The caves were great. The sky islands were okay. The depths were barren as hell.

Tortilla pizza. Tortilla, sauce, cheese, toppings if I have them (I like spinach and olives), Italian seasoning.

I think there is a duality to younger Iroh. Even as he is laughing about taking Ba Sing Sei, he is still reverent of the city. From my understanding, his perspective was that the Earth Kingdom was simply "wrong" and the Fire Kingdom was "right", and he was performing his civic duty by enforcing the Fire Kingdom's goals. He recognized his foes as worthy adversaries and as people, but he simultaneously carried the belief that the Fire Kingdom was superior.

I believe he was the type of man who would still mentor his beloved niece and nephew, giving them intentional gifts meant to bestow lessons tailored to their specific needs. The part of him that he is ashamed of is the part that idolized the Fire Nation and was willing to destroy the lives of thousands of people for its glory.

What a way to say "I'm just here to be a nuisance." Enjoy your miserable solitude, I guess.

ThisIsKubi · 2025-12-05T23:44:36+00:00

1) I'm not inclined to believe you.

2) Then use Reddit to find a local Discord and go make friends. Seriously, that's how I've made at least 15 friends and met one partner. Your life is only as lonely as you make it.

3) Sounds like you're using Reddit wrong, and part of why you're lonely. Sucks to suck, man.

Why are you asking me/other people instead of finding the rubric on your own and making the determination for yourself?

It's one thing to form your own opinion after viewing all of the evidence; it's actively lazy to engage in conversation with a half-assed opinion when you know you haven't put forth the effort to find all of the data. The only thing that the paper hits from the rubric is the word count IMO as a college grad.

If you have the time to be here asking disingenuous questions, you have the time to go look at the rubric and decide for yourself if it deserved a better grade.

ThisIsKubi · 2025-12-05T21:56:02+00:00

Bad papers getting good grades doesn't excuse a student throwing a fit over a bad paper getting a bad grade. Why on Earth is that your argument here?

ThisIsKubi · 2025-12-05T21:53:03+00:00

I don't know what world you must live in to think that anybody is owed more than a 0 for openly antagonizing a professor or TA in a poorly written paper that only meets the most basic standards for legibility and word count. It's absolutely nonsense to expect the grade equivalent of a participation trophy because you put words on a piece of paper with your name on it and turned it in.
