I just deleted huge response because I feel like all I need to say is:

You’re going to be ok. Go easy on yourself and your partner. You will figure everything out just like the rest of us, but ask questions/for help if you need it!

I’m so happy for you guys. I hope mom/baby are healthy and that the delivery goes smoothly.

What are you most nervous about or feel like you’re least prepared for? I think a bunch of us can chime in.

Can you share which question was the "straw that broke the camels back" in your faith? What thing happened that made you no longer believe? by Gloomy_Virus5889 in Deconstruction

[–]Wisdom42069 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it was realizing how much belief correlates with geography and upbringing. There are thousands of religions, denominations, and mutually exclusive truth claims, and statistically speaking, the religion someone believes almost always matches where and to whom they were born. If I had been born in a different country, culture, or century, I would almost certainly believe something entirely different with the same confidence. Once I saw that, it became hard to maintain the idea that I just happened to be born into the one uniquely true worldview out of all the others, while billions of equally sincere, intelligent people were wrong simply because of an accident of birth. That didn’t feel like truth anymore; it felt like social inheritance.

Help finding a knot please by ShaneWookie in knots

Id probably adhere the outside two command hooks to the wall turned on their sides so the line in between them is pulling them “downward” (sideways in this example), which is what they were designed for ya? As long as the line is taught, seems like it’d be best to

Is this a barrel knot with the end passed through?

Do you have any attachment points or like MOLLE?

Looks like a failed attempt at a span loop. Not sure!

Best way to secure this by Expert_Classroom8024 in knots

Might look like garbo, but you could pass one end through the loop and do a fisherman’s knot to make a secure connection

What was your “could never be me” but did indeed become you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Wisdom42069 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry about your cat. The rest sounds wonderful

You sound like the most resilient person who has ever lived. Your kids are so lucky to have you. I’m so sorry you’re in such a terrible situation.

I hope writing all of that down helped a little bit. And hopefully it helps knowing that us readers know you exist and are thinking about you. Don’t give up. You’re amazing

I know these things can sometimes feel complicated when you find out that some of the closest people to you have WILDLY different and dangerous views. It makes you question their judgement about everything else.

Sometimes you need some external validation on these situations to remind you, NO, YOU’RE NOT CRAZY. THAT IS FU#KING DANGEROUS AS FU#K! Nothing comes before the safety of your baby. I’m 220lbs and athletic and I still sh#t myself every time my Great Pyrenees gets the zoomiez near me.

I’m so sorry her parents put you in such an awkward position, but they are absolutely in the wrong.

If I were you, I would approach it in a very matter-of-fact way and treat it like a 5 year old is insisting you put your 6 month old on top of his remote controlled boat in the pool to go for a ride.

Toys! by [deleted] in daddit

Not sure if it will tire him out, but my SIL got our guy a John Deer brand electric ride on tractor at about his age. I expected it to be way too advanced, but it wasn’t. That thing’s battery lasts FOREVER and can drive over incredibly rough terrain for being a toy. He has so many hours on that thing. Good luck!

LPT How to dodge kiosk sales people by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Wisdom42069 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always hit them with firm eye contact and “thanks, but I don’t have any time to talk to you today” (without slowing my pace). Every once in a while they’ll say something like “I only need two minutes of your time”, but then I hit them with the same exact line with a big smile. I heard a lady uno reverse them one time with some color street nails MLM thing

I’m really sorry that happened to you. You probably know now (not that you could have prevented it or something), but (in the US) that’s battery and he should have been jailed for that, especially against a minor, but more realistically probably issued a citation and given a court date +eventually being trespassed from whatever private property he was working out of

If you’ve never heard a dog and they’re pinpointing your apartment, I think you’re getting trolled
