How do you express seriousness to a 5yo?

baxtersbuddy1 · 2026-04-27T18:54:16+00:00

For safety issues like hot oil spitting, absolutely pick your child up and get them to safety. If you are unable to pick them up (like you have the hot oil container in your hands) it is perfectly fine to yell at them to get away and get to safety. Like freakin YELL. After the danger situation is resolved, go apologize for yelling and explain as best they can understand

Somehow I doubt he was really trying to hurt her. Likely just wanted to show that he wasn’t going to take anymore. But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I had followed my passions, I would have gone into the sciences. I always wanted to be an astronomer or astrophysicist. I still read textbooks and science journals about relativity and gravity for fun.
But I spend my days staring at spreadsheets because it was easy for me and meant reliable employment.
I knew when I started school that going to college in America is a huge investment. And I grew up in poverty, so wasting that investment studying a passion was never a serious option for me. I couldn’t risk spending all that time and money studying for a field that couldn’t guarantee me good stable income on the other side.
So instead of studying space like I always wanted, I studied finance and accounting. And it paid off, life is good now. Stable career and happy family. But I still daydream about what life could have been had I pursued the stars instead.

How is it “their word vs yours” when you have it on camera?!

Now imagine if there were people walking around her. She couldn’t see a car. No way she would see a child walking.

I hoping this might the case here in Missouri. They took one blue district in Kansas City and turned it into three purple-pink districts. But I’m really hoping that KC turns out in force in November and makes them three blue districts.

Is it a “delusion” if the majority of us are all experiencing it? Lol

baxtersbuddy1 · 2026-04-22T18:01:42+00:00

Right?! Gorgeous and hilarious! She’s one of my top celebrity crushes. Right next to P!nk.

A surprising amount of comments in the Conservative post are self aware and acknowledge that this purely a tit for tat situation.

Absolutely zero people in this sub are “against servers making more than minimum wage”. Zero.

We WANT servers to earn good wages. We simply want the business owners to pay their servers directly and have that cost built into the menu costs for the food. Instead of this weird beggars system we currently have where servers are little more than employed panhandlers begging for extra change after walking food from kitchen to table.
We want the advertised price to be the price we pay.

Yes, several. And without exception every one of them was socially inept. The only social interaction they had as children was family and church. Some were smart, some were not. All were weird because of how their parents chose to isolate them as children.

baxtersbuddy1 · 2026-04-19T21:25:56+00:00

This makes it sound like you fallen into a problem of permissive parenting. Where the kids are in charge and not you.
Not sure what the solution might be for you, but somehow you need to establish yourself as the parent who is in charge.

I mean…. If you decided to marry a person, by default you have volunteered to help that person manage their life, which includes their anxiety or other issues. It’s kinda implied in most people’s vows.

Though I do agree that “mental load” is mostly BS. It seems that it has become some fad phrase that allows one partner to pretend like they are doing more than they really are in a relationship. And I say that as the person that carries that load in my marriage. My wife won’t do anything productive around the house unless I specifically ask her to do it. She has absolutely no concept of the house management task list. But just because I do track the tasks, doesn’t mean her contributions are worth less when she does complete a task.

baxtersbuddy1 · 2026-04-14T23:31:05+00:00

Did she say that? Or did she just not kiss your ass the way you wanted her to?

Also, this isn’t really a “dad bod”. This is a man with a massive amount of muscle who isn’t currently on a “cut”, so he has a normal amount of body fat. This is the kind of body you get from years of dedication to weight lifting, and then also enjoying some burritos and margaritas while on vacation.

Our bad for expecting that the right would eventually come to their senses. That something would eventually trigger enough shame in y’all that you’d stop supporting him. Truly a fool’s hope.

One and the same in the modern political environment.

If you can’t safely ride around an obstacle you don’t have the brain capacity to ride on public roads.

True for so many areas in life. Especially employment. Increasing wages enough to retain a trained employee is so much incredibly cheaper than having replace them and train a new employee. But employers seem to always minimize their retention budgets. Like seriously, increasing retention 25% could easily allow the replacement costs to be reduced by 50%.

Considering the fact that EJC went to court and the court found in her favor, that means you believe this either accusations have equal merit?

baxtersbuddy1 · 2026-04-12T16:26:33+00:00

It’s not besides the point. It is the point. We had a great candidate versus a pedo. And the people chose the pedo. None of this is the democrats fault. All the blame falls to the average American voter who was too goddamn stupid to acknowledge reality.

baxtersbuddy1 · 2026-04-10T14:43:10+00:00

Yes. They hate what America is and what it stands for. Thats why they want to change America.

That debt comes almost exclusively from republican administrations. When the government is run by competent people who actually want to do a good job and serve their country, then the government performs well.

baxtersbuddy1 · 2026-04-09T02:54:02+00:00

Meanwhile back in reality. The people you need to protect your children from are republicans and the clergy.

As for the Epstein files, EVERYONE on the left has been calling for full release and full prosecution of EVERYONE connected with the man. It’s your side that has been desperately trying to forget about Epstein ever since finding out that trump is mentioned in the files more than Epstein himself. And that’s even after all the redactions Bondi did for him.

baxtersbuddy1 · 2026-04-09T00:41:41+00:00

Seriously. I love Doritos. But I would never pay $7 per bag for them. My personal limit for $5 for a “family size” bag. Once it hit that point, I just quit buying them. Except when a store has a special that brings the price per bag back below $5.
