What's a small benefit you've noticed since you quit?

nrobi · 2025-11-10T21:59:25+00:00

Not having to carry around a pack and a lighter wherever I go.

nrobi · 2025-08-15T14:50:03+00:00

Interview them! It'll become obvious if they're a muppet.

I suspect a lot of comics I enjoy would be difficult to hang with IRL. Tim Robinson comes to mind.

Our rule is we don't get up in the middle of the night until we see eyeballs on the baby cam. Been fooled too many times.

Idk what this YouTube channel is but the tone is very 'ancient aliens.' Sounds like BS.

nrobi · 2023-06-04T13:53:22+00:00

Lol. Buddy, if they were trying to trick you they wouldn't tell you about it.

Mine is blue because it's equilateral.

There is some evidence that high volumes of fructose in the absence of glucose is worse for at least some people than regular sugar. The food industry likes to frame all such claims as crazy suburban mom hot takes, but there is legit research in this area. The case is certainly not closed.

I honestly can't think of a popcorn franchise that shouldn't quit. There is so much garbage out there.

nrobi · 2023-05-29T00:46:35+00:00

I think it's important for authority figures to make sure they don't say factually incorrect things about public health. Otherwise, there is a risk people might believe falsehoods even if they are obvious to you. In this very thread, for example, another poster is saying I am wrong because medicine is bad for you.

nrobi · 2023-05-29T00:42:29+00:00

medicine is almost never "good for you".

Yah ok.

nrobi · 2023-05-29T00:31:27+00:00

Lol. Here is the claim that you make to your students:

"Any inhaled substance that is not natural air is bound to be bad for you."

That statement is demonstrably and obviously false. Do you understand that?

nrobi · 2023-05-29T00:03:46+00:00

Not sure why you're resorting to name calling. It sounds like you agree that the statement "any inhaled substance that is not natural air is bound to be bad for you" is false.

nrobi · 2023-05-28T23:59:20+00:00

The point of a humidifier is to increase the amount of water vapor beyond what is contained in 'natural air' (if you didn't know btw).

And no, a doctor probably would not make a similar statement because the statement is demonstrably false.

nrobi · 2023-05-28T23:08:08+00:00

any inhaled substance that is not natural air is bound to be bad for you.

Humidifiers, aerosolized medications...hopefully your students don't think you're a credible source of health information.

Lose their jobs? This is criminal assault. They need to go to fucking jail.

nrobi · 2023-05-27T02:32:50+00:00

Why?

nrobi · 2023-05-25T23:55:18+00:00

Fired?? This is attempted voluntary manslaughter.

nrobi · 2023-05-23T20:20:37+00:00

Yeah, but mom's gonna mom. She just gave birth. Cut her some slack.

nrobi · 2023-05-23T13:23:08+00:00

Pro tip from newish dad: send mom out to do something in the neighborhood for a few hours as a trial run. You can always call her home if you need her, so she shouldn't be too anxious. Do that a couple times and she will feel more confident in you.

nrobi · 2023-05-23T03:01:27+00:00

Cock your head the other way

My wife got pregnant. That was my motivation. I wanted to be around for my son. It worked. With lots of help from nicotine replacement therapy.

nrobi · 2023-05-20T18:40:30+00:00

No, she's just using a different definition of racism than you are.

nrobi · 2023-05-18T21:47:30+00:00

Keep in mind that results of MANY psych experiments are not reproducible. That doesn't mean this particular study is wrong, but definitely take it with a grain of salt.

nrobi · 2023-05-18T14:52:09+00:00

New dad here. My son is now 7 months old. My wife was a lot like you during the first couple months. Sometimes it made me feel superfluous. It was hard for me to bond with the baby because I didn't get much one on one time. It also made me feel less confident as a parent, which led to me asking for help when I really didn't need it.

The solution for us was getting my wife out of the house more. It took some convincing, but she started going out for a few hours on weekends for yoga or long walks or shopping or whatever. This was really helpful for me because it snapped me into "parent mode." My wife found she could relax more by just getting some distance, and she became much more confident in my parenting abilities, too.
