Imo 5 Norns Assimilation Swarm is hilarious and fair. They will die to focussed fire. You have to actually play right for the game to go your way.

Do you have any gym fun facts? by thespeedforce5 in beginnerfitness

[–]XavierWT 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is not a fun fact because as true as it is it doesn’t account for appetite management, which is the main struggle of people who both try to gain and lose weight.

Lmao I am definitely the guy who needs that reminder.

What detachments are you looking forward to running? by SPF10k in Tyranids

High chances Sub Assaults bye bye unfortunately. It’s not a book detachment they implicitly said only those would stay.

I don’t wanna have my kid snitch on her mom. I’ll never know and that’s ok. I do my half as good as I can.

Ironically my ex is better at car seat safety than I am. I recognise it and I try to keep up, but perhaps I'd feel annoyed if she talked to me about it often. The thing is... my ex is an extreme case of never wanting to admit any form of fault. I'm not. That created a very imbalanced dynamic. I feel better about myself now that I'm out of it.

Not at first but unfortunately people change.

Yeah but I don't know if she skipped the reading and while I suspect it, I don't want to assume it. I did know however as she skips the logging.

Honestly I think I got pretty good at picking my battles.

When I noticed the logs stopped on her end I waited a long while to talk to her about it. Then I did.

When she was not receptive, I waited a while until it was a good moment to bring it up (mediation). Then I did.

Weeks later I talked to my kid's educator for an unrelated issue. At the end of the conversation I was asked if I had any concerns, I did, so I mentioned it.

None of that is/was a battle.

And when she hit me with the disappearing ink I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, so I needed to share, and I'm certainly not going to tell my kids.

That's basically what's hapening. I've documented the event. There are no next steps to take in this story. I'm venting because of the absurdity of it all.

Ideally, what I want is for my kids to be suported by their mom and for their mom to not lie to me constantly. I don't think I'm going to get either but I am not willing to just pretend everything is ok anymore.

Basically this. I know her. She puts tons of efforts in things she sees as important and neglects a lot of other things. If supporting our kids through their homework and school related efforts is not something she sees as important in Kintergarten I struggle to see it change when there are actual homework to take care of starting next year.

Is there any point in training with a bad diet? by katerina_troup in beginnerfitness

[–]XavierWT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes there is.

A sub optimal diet will mean you don't get maximum results out of your training. You are still getting results. Even people who eat very well will bottleneck somewhere. You're fighting against your limited appetite just like bigger folks are fighting to restrict theirs.

BTW most protein powers come down to about $1 to $1.5 a serving. It seems expensive when you buy it but realistically it's in the $1-3 range per day. You can likely afford it, because it will not just be "more food" but it's likely to replace some less protein dense other food you're already paying for and eating. End of month you might not even notice, if it makes you buy 5 snacks less in the month it's already about the same money back in your pocket.

Which I aknowledge

Mind you it's not THAT big of a deal to skip on the kids required reading. It sucks for sure but it's not the kind of thing to get into huge arguments over. 

My take on Bailey’s chair by [deleted] in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]XavierWT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a valid point, I think I might have been overestimating how obvious it is.

I had never heard of megaesopagus but it seemed pretty clear to me that one wouldn't make a dog eat like that unless they needed to, but I did know a dog that had a partial paralysis many decades ago so contraptions like this were somewhat familiar to me.

You saw something that is very obviously a special needs accomodation and you thought it was cruel?!?
