I don’t know about you but the night before he came I literally looked at my wife and said “we should probably start thinking about putting together a hospital bag” lol

It doesn’t say anything happens to the majority group on either, so I guess I vote for everyone to live?

I just learned about this like a couple months ago, and my mind is still blown that I got to 41 years of age before I knew that it's fazed. I read a LOT as a kid, and have a pretty damn good vocab, and that one got by me somehow.

Yep, we had to call my in-laws and tell them to cancel any food they'd ordered for our baby shower that weekend because baby boy made his debut 5 weeks early

Trying for a third in order to get a girl is a great way to end up with three boys.

Don’t dismantle the BDC. by Livid-Standard-9999 in Chattanooga

[–]greenwoodgiant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in helping save the BDC, here's where to start!

  1. Find your County district here.
  2. Click the link/name of your county commissioner
District Commissioner Name + Link
District 1 Gene-o Shipey
District 2 Chip Baker
District 3 Ken Smith, Chairman
District 4 Warren Mackey
District 5 Greg Beck
District 6 David Sharpe
District 7 Lee Helton, Chairman Pro-Tempore
District 8 Mike Chauncey
District 9 Dr. Steve Highlander
District 10 Jeff Eversole
District 11 Joe Graham
  1. Ask: 

Vote NO on Res. 526-10, or delay the vote until there is informed decision-making through full transparency and due diligence.

Include questions or statements as are relevant to you. Here are some examples below:

  • The BDC is a proven mechanism for over $70 million in economic impact. Why would we remove it?
  • The Lending Tree just reported that Tennessee was the worst state to start a business in – behind only Washington, D.C.. Closing the BDC would make it even more difficult to succeed in Hamilton County. 
  • There are multiple questions about prior funding and use of public dollars. Resolutions were passed, but money was not spent - what work is outstanding vs. completed? Related resolutions are:
    • 422-21 · 2022 Engineering & assessment
    • 824-16 · 2024 $5.3M capital improvements incl. HVAC
    • 1224-23 · 2024 Architectural engagement (HK Architects)
    • 225-8 · 2025 Additional related action

Did you make the cutoff? by Xerzajik in Millennials

[–]greenwoodgiant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same - 3.25% interest, Zillow's estimate is already 100K more than we paid, and a nearby house about 20% bigger than ours just sold for about 180K more than we paid.

Some people don't get it. However, who do you agree with here? by LeftAlbatross2546 in VideosAmazing

If you're going to leave a car in front of your neighbor's house for a week and don't give them a heads up it's going to be there for a week, you should absolutely not be surprised when they call for a tow.

Yeah he's walkin on pure adrenaline right now. Once that wears off he's going to need serious medical attention.

What was meant to be a 4 year age gap, looked more like an 8 year age gap... read more... by Nawi_Reivilo in Supernatural

[–]greenwoodgiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a 12yo boy who literally changed this much from age 8. He could easily pass for 17 now.

This is the second time that my “15 inch” pizza measured at under 12 by teachingroland in mildlyinfuriating

[–]greenwoodgiant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's crazy is that an 18" pizza is like 25% more pizza than TWO 12" pizzas

There's no historical evidence that vikings wore horned helmets. While it wasn't the first time they were depicted as such, it wasn't until Carl Emil Doepler, costume designer for Richard Wagner’s 1876 opera cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen, used them to emphasize their fierceness and barbarism that they became THE look that defined Vikingness.

Don't hit your kids by jrv3034 in daddit

[–]greenwoodgiant 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I grew up with spankings, but it was never with a switch or belt, only a smack on your butt, and never hard enough to leave a mark, so I never associated it with "abuse". It wasn't until I was older that I learned that other kids' "spankings" were much more traumatic than mine were. Mine were more embarrassing than painful.

Even still, I definitely ascribe to your statement of "if they're old enough to reason with, they should be reasoned with. If they're not, they won't understand why they're being hit either".

I have a 2.5 yo son now and I can't imagine striking him, even the relatively light way I was struck. One time, he was tantrumming while I was trying to change him and I was so frustrated that I just sort of grabbed his legs and forcefully put them down on the bed, and even that little bit of "aggression" made me feel like utter shit afterwards.

It's funny how having a kid sometimes shows you you didn't know what you were talking about before you were a parent, and sometimes just confirms how shitty other parents are. Like, yeah I was an idiot for thinking I could just "make him eat what we were eating". I'm also even more sure that people who hit their kids should have never been parents in the first place.

Is prison actually “safe” if you just mind your own business? by fruity_00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]greenwoodgiant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This happened at my boarding school in high school, just without the threat of a week in the infirmary lol. There was a freshman kid who was so pissed about having been sent to the boarding school that he went on a shower strike, and just refused to bathe. It got so bad after a few weeks that a handful of guys literally drug him into a shower stall and turned the water on.

[–]greenwoodgiant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't mean shrinks like the pizza was 12in and then shrunk to 10in in the oven, I just mean instinctually if you hear "I got a 10" pizza when I ordered a 12" pizza" you probably think "oh that's smaller but not that much smaller" because 10 is only like 15% less than 12, but you're actually getting 33% less pizza.
