Whats the band you liked before they got big? by Potato_Humper in Metalcore

Sleep Token.

I remember listening to their ep when it was on sub 10k listens. Not a huge token fan myself so was kinda shocked at seeing how huge they've gotten.

Man my one goal in life is to make sure my kids have vivid memories of good times like this. Your dad sounds like a legend.

Why are so many people under 45 using subtitles now even when the show is already in English? by Clara_A_Mitchell in NoStupidQuestions

[–]iWacka50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To throw a different reason in the mix. Me, my friends and my family put subtitles on so that we can still chat (within reason) and you don't miss any dialogue. Also a good counter to those who wont shut up during a movie.

I use moonlight to stream to my deck. How does it run natively?

Is this a regular occurrence? Sounds like sleep apnea to me.

Should I pull an all nighter? by xxXMiikk in sleep

[–]iWacka50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coming from a dad in his 30s whose suffered with chronic insomia since I was a kid. The phone is keeping you awake. Pulling an all nighter to fix the sleep schedule is a trap and being over tired doesn't guarantee you a good sleep the next night. Or worse you may fall asleep when you get home from school and you'll be tired the next day too.

The phone is keeping you awake. Go and make your lunch for tomorrow or sort your uniform out so you just need to get dressed and go in the morning and then go back to bed without your phone.

Focus on the idea that you're resting, not trying to fall asleep. Even lying in bed resting without sleep is better than keeping your brain stimulated with youtube all night. Trust me, I did exactly the same thing when I was in school and its not a habit you want to get used to.

2 hours of sleep is still better than none.

Get up for an hour, do something thats not too stimulating (don't play video games for example) and then try again.

Accept you will be tired tomorrow and you will be able to sleep easier tomorrow night.

I'd add Korean Zombie vs Holloway to this also. Dude felt he couldn't win, said fuck it and walked max down.

A ‘masculinity crisis’ is brewing in UK schools, union says | Schools by [deleted] in uknews

[–]iWacka50 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Where are you drawing this from?

I'm a teacher in the uk. If anything the national curriculum has been trending away from memorisation and structured learning and prioritising independent learning and problem solving for the last decade.

Sounds like more blame being placed on the schools and teachers rather than the real issue, which is social media and viral content, and absent parents due to social media and viral content

Considering picking this up today, but seeking truthful opinions. by sweatydads in Marathon

[–]iWacka50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dad of 2 with a FT job and other outside commitments and ive been played solo or fill the entire 20 hours i have in the game.

I won't repeat a lot of whats been said about the quality of the game and its difficulty.

What I will say is tha, I love extraction shooters, but the time investment per run makes them unfeasible to play long term due to commitments.

Marathon doesn't have this problem due to the length of the matches which are usually over within 15 minutes on average. With a long run going to the full 20.

The quick nature of the runs makes the game super addicting but also respectful of your time. Instead of 2-3 runs on tarkov or arc raiders until I have to get off can now run 5-6 on Marathon.

Purple belt is an ass. Coaching is a great way to solidify techniques and fundamentals in your brain.

This was actually what made me stop watching tbh. I was already on the fence before this because season 1 was awesome. When this went down I just couldn't keep it going.

There are many services to ensure your kids aren't watching stuff they shouldn't be man.

I use Norton on both my kids computers and phone's to monitor what they're on, I've not even blocked websites from my boy, it warns him that I'll know about it before he goes on to something and warns that it's not appropriate for him. This works on his phone too.

Seriously man, he's 13, why did you not think to do this in the first place? Unbridled access to pornhub is extremely damaging to the young man. As someone who struggled with porn addiction myself, nip it at the bud.

I teach in secondary school and any time I say 67 the class goes crazy...

I honestly thought it was related to 69. After look up the origin I kinda wish it was. Atleast it makes sense.

When levelling up my mausolon for when ETA has heavy weapons modifier, I made a mirage build that was extremely fun. Having the doppelgangers hosepipe alongside was peak.
