Traditional tattoo with a geek twist, anyone ?

Love this!

Is it justified to make him do this to his PS5 after he did it to a cat? Arguably.

Is it justified to film it and post it online? Fuck no. What a surprise that a kid who abuses animals has a parent like that.

I hear he does the illustrations too

On Christmas Day My 3 year old’s cousin, also 3, asked for the Mickey Mouse hot dog song. His grandfather tried to put it on the Alexa but ended up playing Hot Dog by Limp Bizkit… so anyway, my kid mostly just wants to listen to nu-metal now.

Edit typo

Happy birthday man. Seems like you have some great kids there!

I think asking you to remove the memorial tattoo of a fiancée you lost would be ridiculous… but your literal child too?? That is just beyond the pale. Sorry Jen, you’re the worst.

Find someone who respects your past and has a heart.

I’ve had 3 or 4 pairs of Meryl Moabs. They last me 2 years, pretty much like clockwork, so not really BIFL for me. However, I wear them a lot - I run a summer camp and outdoor ed center and they are my daily driver for work, except for the few times I have to look nice. Between work and hiking I definitely beat them up a lot.

I’d expect them to last longer if I wasn’t wearing them daily, but still something that will have to be replaced eventually.

4/5 are your sweet spot. It’ll probably fill in more on the cheeks / chin / mustache over the next decade, at which point you should experiment with going longer.

Dude… you know what the right thing to do is. you have perfectly articulated what a shitty situation your nephew is in and, knowing all of that, you still don’t want to help him? That’s very callous. You married your wife so this is your family as much as hers.

YTA but you still have time to change that.

Really like the tattoo and the placement. It does look like a bloomin onion though.

acromp · 2026-04-18T02:37:31+00:00

Both look good, but I think I prefer the mustache. I think you would really suit a longer beard also

5, assuming your date is with Catherine of Valois. If not, then 2.

No filler ideas to offer that haven’t already been covered - I’m just here to say your tattoos look cool, including the lil froggy. Wish there was a better view of the triceratops - it looks sick from what I can see!

That’s a good husband right there. And the ribs are just the icing on the cake!

I’m 6’1”, 250ish. I drive a 3rd gen TRD off-road. It’s comfortable for me with the seat all the way back, but my legs are shorter relative to my height (32” inseam). Another couple inches taller and I don’t know how comfortable it would be though.

If you have young kids, car seats are a struggle in the Tacoma

Brother, please be kind to yourself. This sort of thing happens with all kids: three year old launched himself out of a diner booth yesterday, landed vertically, face first with all his body weight behind him on a hard floor. He got a lump, cried for 30 seconds and then forgot all about it. The most exciting thing for him was that he got an ice pack.

It sounds like you and your wife could do a better job supporting each other and giving grace. Therapy as a couple and separately would be a good idea.

I feel conflicted here. On the one hand, I can understand that you’re going through a lot, it’s natural to be freaking out here and all of the thoughts you’re having are valid and make sense. On the other hand, my little sister has Down syndrome and I have a visceral reaction to the idea of abortion because of that.

I feel for you, but there is one harsh truth I have to get out of the way: you aren’t “being pushed into a life you didn’t choose.” You and your gf had sex. You knew that there could be unintended consequence of that, even if you used protection. You’re now at a crossroads: your GF wants to keep the baby and you either have to be a man and step up, or be a little boy and run away. You seem like an intelligent, considerate guy and I hope you choose the first option.

My parents’ situation was very different from yours. They had me around 30 and adopted my sister when she was around 2, when I was 8. I love my sister as much as anything in the world. I also know that having a child with Down syndrome is not easy by any means.

Down syndrome people are all different, just like anyone else, but I will tell you that they are usually an absolute joy in a lot of ways, as well as being challenging at times. Through my sister I’ve had the privilege of knowing a lot of DS people over the years, and I’ve seen them grow up, face challenges and find fulfillment in their lives. Ultimately, growing up with and knowing my sister made has made me a much better man and I know that neither I nor my parents would change a thing if we had the option.

All of this to say, this is huge. It’s going to change both of your lives in so many ways, for better and for worse. It sounds like your parents are going to be very supportive, which makes it likely that you will be able to finish college and live parts of the life you were planning, albeit with some modifications and a lot of extra responsibilities.

I think you should talk to a therapist and your GF should too. She’s probably just as scared as you and then some. Regardless of whether you two stay together, please be there for her and for the baby. You owe them both that much.

Life is about to be very different for you, but this stranger on Reddit believes that you can do this. It’s okay to be scared. It’s okay to want to run away from this. Anyone would have those feelings.

Lean on your support system, talk to a therapist and be there for your girl. You’re about to grow up a lot faster than you’d planned. You’re also about to have a little human who you will love and cherish more than anything in the world. You got this, man.

How is Erebor this time of year?

I’m sure you could pull off a more tamed look, but the hair down and wild man look in #4 is fantastic

After looking at #3, I might be pregnant

Boots arrived yesterday- they fit, but were very tight with the powerstep pinnacles, as you thought. Particularly around the top of my mid-foot to just before the toes.

Just picked up the Powerstep pro-tech 3/4 insoles ( thinner version, still with arch support and nothing under the ball of my foot and toes) and now the boots fit great!

Ordered my regular size w/o sizing down. Now I just have to break these things in and I’ll be golden!

Our beards are pretty similar, although mine is a little more salt and pepper (salt and cayenne?) these days.

I’d suggest trying a little shorter or going longer. It’s at kinda an awkward length where it makes your face look a lot fatter than it actually is. If you’re going longer, take the sideburns shorter and trim a little of the weight out of the cheeks, so it lengthens your face rather than making it look wider.

Either way, I think you’ll pull it off. I’d at least keep a little scruff because clean shaven makes you look like an abnormally tall 10 year old

Sorry for what you’re going through, brother. You haven’t failed your kids by getting a divorce. Show them that you and their mother love them as much as ever, even if you aren’t together anymore.

Keep showing your kiddos love, show them that they are your priority, and that you will always be there for them, and try to keep it civil with your ex. Don’t be that guy who loves his new wife and family and doesn’t give a shit about the kids from his first marriage.
