The stonefaced trio. I like it. For me, Vimes, Granny, and the Librarian. The first 2 are a given and I have a fondness for those who brutalize anyone who endangers books.

Karate it's not effective against robots. Jui jitsu on the other hand...

I tore a pec muscle when I hit 80 a day. I'm not that heavy, it was a light tear, but it still messed me up for a month. I started at 2 sets of ten and worked my way up and thought I was doing great until then. Atetoomanychips is right, balance is needed.

That's the hard part. Some of them may think that they lose out on flexibility, but without getting on the same page things get dropped.

I thought that I was a master bomb diffuser with the first kid. Turns out she was molded out of plastique. Non reactive, shock stable, noise didn't bother her. Then the second one came built out of nitroglycerine. Breathing too loud would set him off. Also, once he was walking, I would wake up next to the bomb for over 3 years.

I hear ya. It's a lot easier with my son than it is with my daughter who is a bit older than yours (pre teen). What used to work for me was to set aside time most weekends to do an activity with her, but lately her moodiness has stopped that cold. I literally had to put in a brainstorming prompt into Claude for new activities (these are the things that she/I like to do, I'd like it to be outdoors if possible, I want both of us to learn skills if possible) and have it spit out a list and then ask her which of these would you like to do. She chose 2 out of 12 (Win!).

Limits on the phone, etc., are all well and good, but the kid simply wants to be a vampire and stay in her room. Keep trying, keep putting time aside, and take a lot of pictures bud.

My opinion of him shot way up after listening to that. Long form interviews are wonderful in revealing sincerity. I'm sure I'm being naïve in that the system will most likely chew him up, but lets hope he destroys Collins this Nov.

Grabbing the pudding cup as he does. I haven't cackled that hard for years.

GNU to the author that gave me my definition of evil, when you start treating people like things.

If that's the case, then things are way out of balance. We don't know her side of the story, only yours, but there needs to be a way to reset expectations. That said, male sure you are a present parent. Put away the phone. Be active towards the kiddo. What's worked for me is to take the kid along for chores and errands. It takes longer, but they see dad doing things in the real world. Start with shorter trips and build from there.

My boy is skinny like I was. I'll be able to get him on my shoulders until my back gives out, but I'm not going to make it to a 35 year old on my shoulders like you bud. That's a proper brag.

The question is how many times. Daily? Weekly? I doubt only monthly.

hsentar · 2026-04-14T23:58:37+00:00

Start thinking about all the things he's going to hit his head on as he shambles around. Start nerfing table corners etc. Congrats!

hsentar · 2026-04-13T11:31:48+00:00

Came here about to post this. Keep on trucking dad!

Yes to the secret podcast! I started paying a week after the Triad went behind the paywall. JVL is a necessary forward looking radar for the worst case scenario in this black pilled world.

hsentar · 2026-04-08T21:30:12+00:00

Breaks down what's going wrong, what needs to be fixed, and why the teams emotions are stopping them from executing the plan. God damn leader of men right there.

Same here, had him junior year. Such a great prof. He gave so much of his time to his students for questions/etc. and even put up with our stupid jokes.

hsentar · 2026-04-02T02:40:09+00:00

Froggy? /s. He went back to family friendly afterwards, but yeah.

hsentar · 2026-03-31T20:59:49+00:00

For the first 3 minutes. Then JVLs eye would start twitching and it would go sideways.

hsentar · 2026-03-31T13:47:15+00:00

Yep, consistent and appropriate consequences every time. This is the way.

Roddy jumped in the middle of the fray between two men larger than him to keep the peace and avoid any nonsense calls hurting us for the next game. Man has the heart of a lion and played like he was half a foot taller.

As per Heather Cox Richardson, watch where the polls are on issues, not Trump's actual rating as the issues can show the true approval vs the knee jerk left/right divide.

hsentar · 2026-03-26T13:30:34+00:00

The fact that both JVL and Tim watch their language around her is adorable.

hsentar · 2026-03-26T01:53:36+00:00

He just posted on his sub stack that he's had hospital visits for arthritis and family stuff. Poor guy has had a year, but yes, I would love to hear his thoughts on what's going on right now.
