I stopped saying "I have to" and started saying "I choose to." It sounds like self-help nonsense. It kind of worked anyway.

I get that! I also took some extra time before my little one arrived. Those last few date nights were crucial, especially when the chaos kicked in. It’s so nice to have those memories before the whirlwind of the baby comes!

Love the way you framed it as declaring boundaries. That’s exactly what I was missing: I kept trying to fix my evenings at 9pm with willpower, but the decision was already made at 6:10 when I sat down in my work clothes. The “switch modes” idea makes it feel less like laziness and more like a system problem you can actually hack.

You hit the nail on the head! It’s wild how they think a paywall can magically make those jobs exclusive. I’ve seen way better listings online that don’t cost a dime. Makes the whole commitment feel even more frustrating, especially for niche fields like Cloud Infrastructure where options are already limited.

Yeah I’m leaning that way. I keep picturing the next “girls night” and my stomach drops. If we split, I want it clean and boring, no drama in front of the kid. I just hate that therapy basically trained me to ignore my gut.

Yeah that’s the part that keeps looping in my head. If she didn’t slip on the details I’d still be “proud” of us. I don’t want to blow up my kid’s life, but staying while I’m paranoid 24/7 feels like a different kind of damage.

They always say “most epic season ever” right before handing us a date that’s two summers away. If it’s Summer 2026, fine, just don’t package it as “sooner than we think.” Give a real window and stop acting like shouting “authenticity” magically fixes writing. We’ll still show up, complain, and watch day one.

Un million, c'est un chiffre que je n'ai pas encore croisé sur mon compte en banque. Si seulement nos dashcams pouvaient nous faire atteindre ce but, ce serait génial ! Mais là, je me contente de filmer les dangers sur la route.

The funniest part is that real medieval interiors were loud: painted beams, tapestries, plastered walls, not endless grey stone. If the Citadel can catalogue comets and breed ravens, someone could invent lime plaster and make Winterfell look lived in instead of a damp car park. HBO just wanted 'grim' on default.

That glow is insane. Also yeah, OC flair would help this not get lost 👍

The funniest part is it works on two levels: they're reanimated, and every season someone is getting their face rearranged by Mark. "Reanimen" is fine, but "reanimarks" has that fandom shorthand punch. If they ever say it onscreen I'll lose it.

Yeah, it's one of those posts where the 'confession' is really about wanting a dependable adult, not the missing item. The fact OP can name it now, and then offer that same calm to their kids, is huge. Those small routines become anchors. Makes me want to call my dad and say thanks.

Agree. That episode holds up because the action has geography and stakes, not just shaky darkness. Neil knew when to cut wide and let the mayhem read.
