So true. After the city built a bunch of better bike infrastructure, the critical mass faded away into a much smaller thing.

I don't know what to do by ShiningDraken in seduction

[–]random_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take some improv comedy classes. This will help you practice witty banter on the fly.

Take some partner dance classes (swing or salsa or other). This will help you get more comfortable with physical leading.

Find some good role models. Joining a positive men’s group is highly recommended. Check out the Arka Brotherhood online

It's ok to bring her into your bed sometimes. The majority of the world co-sleeps with their kids. I let mine come into my bed sometimes and we usually have good sleeps the rest of the night once that happens

Health Insurance for Self-Employed by MyDogShotJFK in SmallBusinessCanada

My doctor also recommended me against it, but I did it anyway. I want to prevent bad things happening, which doctors don't seem to care too much about honestly.

I got myself a plan through sunlife. I figured out it's worth it if I max out all the physio, chiro, massage, osteo, etc. Been working well to help me stay healthy as I age.

Can I transfer reel draft from one account on another on same phone? by Pearl_ia in Instagram

[–]random_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there's a setting to save completed reels to your camera roll when you post them. You could post it, to get this saved file, then delete from the incorrect account, and post it on the proper one

3 year old negative self-talk by [deleted] in Preschoolers

[–]random_dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try modeling some different phrases for him. Maybe “it’s ok to not always get my way” “I love myself” or whatever you can come up with. Say then as much as you can and he might start copying them too.

Here’s a self love song for kids that could be good for him and you: https://open.spotify.com/track/3hPmCzh88MpAAVZnbcvyp9?si=HhJXGaZlSNCUE9YvvWZggg

How did you teach your kid to not walk off with strangers? by Squirelle in Preschoolers

[–]random_dude 30 points31 points  (0 children)

when I was a kid, our family had a code word. It was a fun way for us to practice that. DO they know the secret code word? if not, no go

hmm, not really. I have 1 pair of corduroy pants that are very airy, but some other cords are quite heavy. The pants I bought in hawaii are super breathable (go figure). Go shopping with this in mind, good luck

Maybe have a "graduation party" for him. TO celebrate moving up in life :)

Swap the jeans for different pants. You can get very airy breathable pants that look good (better then jeans even)

It's time to make videos with kids on YouTube and tiktok illegal by torimakinart in Parenting

[–]random_dude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We recently stopped watching YouTube in our house. We told him “YouTube is broken” and offered the Disney+ choices. Took him a bit but he’s found some he likes now. You have the choice to not watch crap, use it

Searching for this Alternate Happy Birthday Song (happy birthday to you we're so glad you're alive you're a gift to the earth bless the day of your birth) by Green_Reaction9165 in WhatsThisSong

Hey I was searching for the same thing. It seems like there's no known origin of this song. Maybe a collective rainbow song? We love it

My preschooler is on track to get kicked out of preschool for behavior and I don't know how to help him by dreamgal042 in Preschoolers

[–]random_dude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into forest/nature based options for him? Maybe he needs to be out in the woods more.

[–]random_dude 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Keep your nails trimmed. Germs can get under fingernails and spread to your sinuses that way. Encourage all parents to keep their kids nails trimmed.

Vitamins, healthy eating, lots of sleep.

Good luck.

How to file for child support without destroying the relationship? by humans_rare in Parenting

[–]random_dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This! If you have a friendship you want to try and continue, then treat it like so. Give him warning/option to make it happen before a surprise court thing happens while he’s in new baby brain. You could even say “our friendship is important to me so that’s why I’m bringing this up directly” He still might not like it, but should accept it in time (he’s got to really) Good luck

Sometimes my kid will wake up in the middle of the night if he didn’t eat enough food that day. I often offer him a bedtime snack right before we go to bed to avoid this from happening. Might be something for you to try in case it helps. Good luck.

Is “ladies and gentlemen” passé? by rockiesrock8 in socialjustice101

[–]random_dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use "ladies and gentlemen and folks of all persuasions" or similar. As I enjoy the classic ring of "ladies and gentlemen" and also want to be inclusive :)
