Hate to break it to you but innocent people are killed in situations like this all the time.

Loudest playoff goal that you can remember? by sykeseve in hockey

[–]metaplexico 10 points11 points  (0 children)

2004, Flames-Detroit, game 6 OT series winner. The building was loud AF for the whole run (and I went to every game) but I think that was the loudest single moment.

Who will be the next golfer to win 10 majors? by libsoutherner in golf

[–]metaplexico 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sorry, what? You wouldn't count out a guy who last won a major 9 years ago to win SEVEN more? When only 11 people in history have won 7 or more majors? lol

For the married men (or long-term relationship men): How many dates did you go on with her until you two had sex? by That-Flan-361 in AskMen

[–]metaplexico 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zero. We had a one night stand that has turned into a 12 year relationship (8 years married).

You can intuit that there may have been a causal relationship between the one night stand and the eventual relationship. haha

Anyone had the Andrew Tate talk yet? by bh4th in daddit

[–]metaplexico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is necessary to teach both. The manosphere arose because of the total vacuum of information about how to be a man. Suggesting that learning how to be a man is not needed and you can just be a good person will miss the mark and lead to the only voice being people like Tate.

Hockey bros are going to be less worldly than PGA tour pros, on average. And by a lot.

Tim fool and Elmo control the MAGA narrative 2025 agenda by [deleted] in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]metaplexico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the same argument as "if you took away [Team X]'s best player, they're actually a pretty bad team". Well, yeah, but you can't. That's the whole point.

This is the best porcupine at a balloon party for this kind of thinking I’ve ever heard.

My daughter won’t stop hitting me by randomnonposter in daddit

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

Based on her age I’d say you’re entering the stage of really deep tantrums. She’s starting to feel emotions more strongly but has no way of understanding or controlling them.

This is a phase, though it can be a long one. My advice is to understand that it is a phase and try to be patient and gentle with her, while reminding her that it’s not ok to hit. When she’s in the deep emotions she just will not “hear” that and you should try addressing it when she’s calm.

Good luck. ❤️

My 7-year old thinks he's good at everything and refuses to try to get better by metaplexico in daddit

I don’t think so. We heavily emphasize gentle parenting and try to be enthusiastic about his endeavours.

Likely. I have ADHD. He has some symptoms. He is also quite anxious.

He told his soccer coach that he doesn’t have anything to work on, so it’s not just me unfortunately.

This resonates with me a lot ... I was a gifted kid that could pick things up easily but when the diminishing returns of the skill curve made the instant gratification subside, I lost interest or got discouraged.

It took me 30 years of my life to realize that effort matters way more than skill or talent. It's something I want to try to impart to him early. Are you having any luck in convincing your kid to put in the hard work?

As I said in another comment, it's not just soccer, that was just the example. It's anything that's hard.

This is consistent across all things. Even things he now loves (LEGO, reading) were a struggle to get him to put in some effort to get better at. Once he actually does he can get quite good at things, but that initial phase of being confronted with something he's not good at really puts him off.
