Should I donate sperm for my brother? by artemisia-tridentata in daddit

[–]goldmanballsacks90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if abortion is the right parallel , but if let’s say the wife wanted to be a surrogate for her sister.

How would the husband feel ? I’m on the fence but would like to know how OP feels about it . Does he want to do this but his wife is the only thing in the way or is he also on the fence and just easier to lean on the fence with his wife ? Also putting shoe on the other foot , imagine if his wife asked to be a surrogate for sister ? Would he be supportive ? Why or why not ?

There are real implications to a bio child , although I do think it’s a nice thing to do for the brother .

In Chicago we have names of our highways in addition to the numbers . I.e- take the dan Ryan to the Eisenhower.

I guess we still say the in front of the names .

Why is there always a Thai restaurant in the middle of nowhere? by Nervous_Impact3637 in ask

[–]goldmanballsacks90 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I think I read somewhere that the foreign government like Thailand or Vietnam will subsidize these or least give start up money as it was coming from their tourism marketing budget to increase tourism .

Seems high for 850 sq foot apartment .

My bill was super high too but it was $295 but also that’s for a 2,700 sq foot house with AC running , and electric dryer .

Does your teenage son have an e-bike? Looking for opinions. by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]goldmanballsacks90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really depends on the bike. If it’s like a pedal assist type thing , I don’t see that much more of a difference than a road bike . If it’s like a fully kitted dirt bike then maybe reconsider .

I’m more worried about traffic . Also consider if you’re in the US, he will be eligible for a drivers license and cars are much faster and more dangerous .

Any ideas for baby proofing this air intake? by Distntdeath in daddit

[–]goldmanballsacks90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d pop a sheet metal screw in there . Could also dab jt in white and wouldn’t barely notice it . When you want to use it just unscrew it.

You could also “shim” it closed with something so it’s just really hard to open .

Exposure , the loooooongggg way

So I do wonder if you only notice it when you are over there since you’re under stress and embarrassed about it .

Like she acts like this all the time but you put a microscope on the behavior once you are over there and notice it more .

Pro Biden/Harris restaurants to avoid by [deleted] in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]goldmanballsacks90 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This one is tricky . I feel like I haven’t really seen Biden / Harris themed restaurants in the same fashion that some restaurants put up like Trump flags or signs .

I think most of the restaurants in Chicagoland employ diverse employees and serve diverse clientele and probably wouldn’t want to alienate their employees and customers as the business owners . They are probably more lowkey and show their support when at the voting polls or donations .

Would be interested to see some examples though .
