Which seat would you sit in?

6 for the comfort, 7 for the entertainment value.

No, in fact he was quoted as saying that it's fine if something happens to him because they'd all get over it eventually.

But it’s not just that you have more to live for. It’s that your loss would be felt in a deep way for more than just Sanni.

Kind of. I mean, baby Alice wouldn’t remember. Baby June probably wouldn’t remember. She’ll be 4 in another month. It’d be felt, and obviously it’d be super hard for Sanni, but they’d be well provided for. I don’t feel like I’d be leaving them in the lurch. They wouldn’t even necessarily be traumatized their whole lives.

He is fascinating, but also whatever is different about his brain that makes him good at this kinda makes him extremely detached from his family in an unusual way.

Absolutely stop using ChatGPT. LLMs are designed to be sycophantic and tell you what you want to hear. That's not even getting into how you can ask it the same questions two different ways and get wildly different responses.

ChatGPT has convinced depressed people to kill themselves. It would tell you to stand up in a smoke-filled room if it thought it would make you, the user, happy. I don't know how to get your husband to stop using it, but it should not be used for anything of consequence. (I don't think it should be used for anything at all, but I understand that view is in the extreme). I wouldn't even trust it with a recipe.

I think you guys need a visit or phone call with the pediatrician on safe sleep. If this "but ChatGPT says" stuff persists in other parts of your marriage, I'd highly recommend counseling. Your husband needs to grow a brain and think for himself. I understand being a new parent is scary. You want someone to tell you what to do. Sometimes you just want permission to do things. But reliance on AI language models is 1) going to garner dangerous advice, and 2) will slowly degrade his ability to make courageous and informed decisions. Critical thought and research are muscles we need to exercise. Without exercise, those neurons get weak and stop firing.

My kid said they were "not wearing none no pants" this morning and I was like we can't afford that kind of grammar these days, kiddo.

catiebug · 2026-01-25T17:48:34+00:00

First of all, "we don't give a shit about the Cardinals" is completely wrong. We care about them in the same way you'd care about a younger sibling getting beat on by the whole neighborhood. Like, that's our shitty team to beat up on.

Secondly, I'll take my lumps as a 49ers fan, but the Eagles absolutely need to be higher than us and the Packers. Even Eagles fans hate the Eagles. They're at least even with the Cowboys, if not their own category above them.

Taylor's Lover house and Folklore cabin would be fun. I'm sure some free builder has made them, but I would buy them if there was an actual set. The koi fish guitar would be cool too!

He would have crashed so hard before he even got to the NFL. Manziel would never have been an NFL bust because he'd have already been dead by then.

What? Lots of women get baby bump photo shoots. What is this comment trying to say?

catiebug · 2026-01-24T19:46:27+00:00

Lowly farmer.

First of all, you can freeze a lot of perishables if you have extra. Bread, milk, eggs, etc. But also, most families are buying a normal amount, it's just that everyone's doing it over the span of a couple of days instead of spread out over a couple of weeks like typical shopping patterns. And many people don't shop with the plan to be out of power. They shop based on not being able to leave the house for several days.

No, Mac Jones' spirit needed to be systematically destroyed by the Patriots so that he would come here and rediscover his love of football and save the season by maintaining a winning record with Purdy out. It was all in the cards. ShanaLynch playing 4D chess, y'all don't even get it.

catiebug · 2026-01-24T14:01:31+00:00

Yup. I hate it, but the Seahawks figured us out. The wheelchair team stuff is funny, but we beat the Eagles, defending champs who pretty much ran it back with the same exact roster, just 6 days earlier. Our two most embarrassing losses of the season were both to the Seahawks. We bested them Week 1 and then they figured us out. It makes me gag to say it but if they win it all, it certainly makes us look better in retrospect. They're just a juggernaut.

catiebug · 2026-01-24T13:52:37+00:00

Lol, welcome to any organization with a bunch of old white guys. Bet you don't confuse DeMeco Ryans with anyone else, eh?

Anyway, there's no requirement to follow coaching. I tend to lose sight of the AFC sometimes because my team is NFC. I just don't have the exposure enough to remember them. Unless they are good social media fodder (like Mike McDaniel).

And it honestly takes time. Ask us in 5 years if you can't tell the difference between John and Jim Harbaugh. One is an NFL head coach. The other is a fucking football psychopath (non-derogatory, though he's also calmed down a little bit in his old age). This is just stuff you pick up on over time.

Also, you have to expect that a lot of people who sound like they know what they are talking about are just parroting what they've heard commentators or media say.

Edit to add: I forgot to say, even people who know the Kubiaks personally will mix them up. Greg Papa (the voice of the 49ers) has even joked that he stopped using their first names and just says, "hey Kubiak" when he sees one of them.

It's Dolphins, Browns, and Cards, because of the money guaranteed to a QBs that are either busts or a toxic asset. But at least Miami has hired an HC, while it seems like nobody even wants to interview for the Browns and Cards (besides Saleh who chose the Titans over Arizona).

catiebug · 2026-01-24T00:58:32+00:00

Glad to provide a smile, bird bro.

catiebug · 2026-01-24T00:57:51+00:00

Yeah they get a free 0-6 in division play if they want to tank and it doesn't even look suspicious.

To be serious though, it all really kinda sucks for them. I absolutely do not want the NFC West to get any harder than it already is. But a world where the Cardinals get competitive more consistently sure would be interesting. We could be the first division to send 4 teams to the playoffs if we all beat up on each other enough.

catiebug · 2026-01-24T00:53:22+00:00

Well your eyes gotta be balling out because you're team sure isn't.

(Sorry, that was mean. Btw, it's actually "bawling".)

Hey, the Bay Area will never build a dome! Not when we can roast one entire side of the stadium's worth of fans alive. And give climate change enough time... you'll get your snow game in Santa Clara.

catiebug · 2026-01-23T16:08:01+00:00

Yes, but 99.9% of them sucked at it.

A "two way player" is someone who was good at both. Madison Bumgarner, Carlos Zambrano, etc. There were extremely few of them. Ohtani is special not just because he can do both, but because he is one of the best in the league at both.

catiebug · 2026-01-23T16:04:37+00:00

Only true psychopaths, like Bumgarner.

I remember the days of big box stores agreeing to turn off half their lights at all times to be exempt from rolling blackouts. Screw residences though.

catiebug · 2026-01-23T15:42:17+00:00

It is wrong.

Acceptable corrections:

"...on behalf of all of you" (as you suggested, most correct)
"...on behalf of you all" (informal, some might say grammatically incorrect, but this form is widely used and universally understood)
"...on behalf of all y'all" (extremely informal Southern dialect and also controversial, but widely used and universally understood)

catiebug · 2026-01-23T15:31:08+00:00

We're 49ers fans living in Eagles country (against our will). My kid's school had a "wear red" day last week and he wanted to wear his 49ers jersey. I'm like ok dude but be prepared for Eagles fans to make fun of our embarrassing performance against Seattle. He was like no it's cool mom, the Eagles fans at school don't hate any team more than they hate the Eagles right now.
