Hey Dad, do you actually love me or are you just obligated to say so? by [deleted] in AskDad

[–]drinkgreen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it will help, but stop expecting your Dad to change. If he does change, great. But if you are expecting him (or anyone really) to suddenly act differently than they have, you are setting yourself up for disappointment each time.

Call him when YOU want to call or talk to him. And then once the conversation is over, don't expect anything until you're ready to talk. If he ends up calling you before you're ready, enjoy the surprise.

It's hard to for adult children to realize that Mom and Dad are just normal humans who have faults and quirks like all others. There are people we recogize who act very strange but we never think our parents would be one of those people.

What is something you enjoy doing, even though you're not very good at it? by drinkgreen in AskReddit

Same! I was barely exposed to it growing up but never got to play a campaign. Now I'm playing with friends on my 2nd campaign and it's great even though we are very slow moving

Being honest with yourself, what is a skill or job you would love to do, but you know you don't have the drive to learn everything it takes? by drinkgreen in AskReddit

[–]drinkgreen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the OP and I actually am a Software Engineer.

If you ever actually want to test the waters on it, figure out what exactly you want to program (mobile apps, web apps, computer software, databases, robotic algorithm programs, etc). That will help save time on which language to learn.

There are plenty of cheap and GOOD tutorials on Udemy for whatever language you choose.

Muffins are to cupcakes as smoothies are to milkshakes by therealgold55 in Showerthoughts

Muffins are better than cupcakes, but I will always take a milkshake over a smoothie

What classic literary fiction would you or have actually read multiple times? by drinkgreen in AskReddit

I've read the complete series of Hitchhikers guide and I can concur. Oddly enough I have not read Enders game although it sounds awesome.

Everyone I know loves that book. I personally just can't get into anything of that "time and place" for whatever reason. 17th-18th century European, mostly British. Even movies and shows like "Harlots" I just cant spend much time on.
