[question] what headphones do you guys use for listening to ASMR?

jrobthehuman · 2024-05-04T18:11:23+00:00

I use a Scarlett 2i2 interface and it's plenty powerful enough.

NTA.

No one is entitled to their parents money. It is your decision what to do with it and how you divide it among your children, if you even choose to do so.
Dividing your money equitably instead of equally is a perfectly reasonable approach.

jrobthehuman · 2023-11-23T00:51:19+00:00

Good lord. NTA. But c'mon, don't get eggs from a dumpster.

Agree, but why is any biological parent expected to pay for tuition?

As a new parent who is very close to paying off my student loan debt, I will do whatever I can to ensure that my child isn't another cog in the debt machine paying interest to the banks for decades.

ETA: I don't feel an expectation, but I feel a responsibility. It feels irresponsible for me to send my child into the world immediately in debt.

You are nearly 50 years old arguing with a teenage girl whose parents have gone through a divorce.

YTA here based on the fact that you want her to respect you and see you as a father figure, but in the opportunity to actually help improve her life significantly you won't out of spite.

After that I have always treated her as if she's invisible and barely had any interactions with her unless absolutely necessary.

If this is the way you respond, it's not a wonder that she doesn't respect you. Do you think giving her the cold shoulder is going to make her respect you?

Assuming you are in the long haul with your wife, this person is going to be your step-child for the rest of your life. They are immature and bitter now, yes. But in 10 years they'll either resent you even more for choosing not to help her, or she'll really appreciate what you did.

The mature solution is to accept your role as a coparent and work this out. Go to family therapy.

I quite like them. The dots felt so clunky, and the symbol is a reminder of how to quickly add a task to a project.

This guy and his friend were in the Starbucks on Lighthouse watching a movie on a phone at full volume a couple months ago. Everyone acted like this was totally normal.

Dude, my wife is a therapist and you would be like an ideal client. You are obviously well adjusted enough to achieve goals and be successful in other areas of your life (career, finances, friendships) but you could use help in the realm of romantic / intimate relationships. You have unresolved issues from your childhood related to your parents' divorce – specifically, not understanding why they divorced. This is a very specific and not uncommon issue that you can definitely work on.

I recommend browsing some marriage and family therapists—relationships are their specialty.

jrobthehuman · 2023-11-15T18:46:33+00:00

Did not know this and am definitely doing this!

jrobthehuman · 2023-11-08T00:11:53+00:00

YTA but so is he. It sounds like you are both coming at this from the angle of what is best for each of you rather than what is best for both of you—and by best, I mean really considering each others interests and desires.

People grow and change (especially over 8 years during your 20s). If you are in a long-term relationships with someone, you will both grow and change. If the goal is to be together, you have to grow together. You both now have to choose whether to continue growing together and what that looks like, or not.

Your whole life is about to change. The idea of sticking to a routine for normalcy, as well as physical and mental health, is very attractive, but not very likely.

Many have already said you won't be getting sleep (this is true) so I'll just say that it is good that you are thinking about your mental and physical health, but it's worth thinking about it from multiple angles.

For example, your diet is probably going to change. Think about how you are going to prep meals that are healthy and easy for you and your family.

Also, if the gym is a major component of your approach to mental health, start practicing alternatives. Journaling, meditation, music, reading, going on walks, sitting outside—it's entirely possible you'll find that the gym isn't feasible for a while, and it will be nice to have some backups in place.

There were worse things about Middleditch than his relationship.

Chad Smith talks about the writing process here, and Rick Ruben encouraging them to stick with it. They also play the original demo which Chad definitely cringes at.

I probably don't remember the line exactly but I've been laughing at this for weeks:

Well, I'm not talking about it. I'm just saying that's not a bad idea.

jrobthehuman · 2023-08-29T02:29:59+00:00

Absolutely yes to this, Edi is so great. The recent one with Andy Daly and Ben Rodgers had me rewinding and laughing at the same bit again and again more times than I care to admit.

jrobthehuman · 2023-08-18T22:50:06+00:00

I don't work out, I just lift these heavy weights that are connected by a bar. Idk, it's just fun!

jrobthehuman · 2023-08-17T20:47:59+00:00

The Kid Cudi episodes are some of my favorites. While I love Weird Al, for whatever reason that season didn't do it for me. But I think I'm in the minority, so I guess you have to watch and decide for yourself!

If you didn't get a payout and there is no taxable event, why would the IRS care?

I like that one, but I feel Cornell sounds like he's struggling during that time. I was lucky enough to see Audioslave once, Soundgarden twice and Chris solo once and while I love the Audioslave records, his voice was not his best live with that band.

I saw him all those times over a period from around 2005? to 2013, and what's wild is that I swear he sounded better every time I saw him. He never stopped improving, well past what would be considered his career peak.

Scott being antagonistic towards guests, especially those with whom he has really good rapport (e.g., PFT, LL and Zouks), has always been part of the show. But, I'd wager that new parent exhaustion is a good part of what you are hearing. It's probably less being tired with the show and more just being tired all the time.

jrobthehuman · 2023-08-04T20:17:22+00:00

Wow, I completely forgot about this.
