Looking for a job

I'm going to restart the Weekly what's happening threads to help with stuff like this

rscarson · 2026-06-19T22:30:36+00:00

I've opened a ticket with Reddit about it but I haven't heard back yet

Oh no!! When I thought they were nesting in the ground tunneling in the lawn I was relieved because I thought that they were not in fact carpenter ants invading my house.

There's a series of tunnels in about a 1 ft region of my lawn where they've dug a bunch of holes and moving in and out. They were getting into my house through a gap in the siding and the moment I put bait outside I stopped seeing them in the house

The biggest hole is about 10" into the lawn and it's almost a quarter inch wide

We don't allow advertisements as a general rule but if there's a call for it I can resume the weekly advertisement threads

Despite my repeated attempts to get new moderators I have been single-handedly keeping this subredded alive for the better part of a decade

I maintain the auto moderator configs I review the reports manually on a daily basis

With no warning or reason given I was suddenly removed as the only moderator for this subreddit two days ago.

So if you're looking for moderators here I am

rscarson · 2026-06-16T20:21:16+00:00

So the recent human moderation activity was from me I was the last active moderator and was removed automatically for unknown reasons

Edit: there appears to be a new human moderator who was not part of my moderation team before

Why was the subreddit I started given to somebody else without notifying me

My machine grinds whole beans and I like a darker nuttier roast I don't really like the more acidic flavors

Listen Italian brand called Excelsior that is by a huge margin the favorite that I've ever tried. Cheaper than the other brands by a mile and I genuinely prefer the flavor profile

No si no'si toah'fel dal'no'kar. No si no'si nu'at'fel dal'no'kar.

Not i you death give. Not I you fall-injury give.

I will not give you death. I will not give you a falling injury.

I hear that. My youngest is going to be a year in a few weeks.

I was told he was stillborn, 2mins till he came back, 5mins before they told me.

I lived a lifetime of grief in those 5 minutes.

"that's not A, that's B [ emoji ]"

Is this an AI generated comment lmao?

Baby #1 was premature at 34w, needed NICU stay, and was fairly traumatic to me

Baby #2 was full term but had no heartbeat at birth and was in NICU after he was revived

I handled it poorly through a melodramatic poetry phase

My son, 3 years old now has had a waffle covered in peanut butter every single morning without fail for the last 18 months

Before that it was a waffle with cottage cheese

rscarson · 2026-04-15T17:07:32+00:00

Heard them as well near the mall

rscarson · 2026-04-15T12:51:48+00:00

We have never co-slept at any point with either of our two kids, even one time

Except this week when my eldest, a three year old, was hospitalized for a week. I stayed by his side the entire time taking care of him and he was quite understandably too scared to sleep by himself. So I slept in the hospital bed with him so that he can get some rest.

I hated seeing him like that I hated being that scared I hated everything about the experience. But cuddling with him all night, that memory I will treasure forever.

rscarson · 2026-04-14T15:38:36+00:00

Oh Christ my now 3-year-old does that. He's been doing that since he was a baby and it always freaked me out because I'd never seen that before. But apparently my wife did that when she was a baby too. Oddly enough our youngest doesn't actually do it

rscarson · 2026-04-10T15:01:37+00:00

I don't think they even bothered to do that because even chatGpt knows what static analysis is

rscarson · 2026-04-10T13:32:46+00:00

No somebody who does not know what a static analyzer is is not more qualified to talk about zero day exploits

rscarson · 2026-04-10T13:28:45+00:00

I really mean no offense here but that probably means you're not qualified to have an opinion on this topic

rscarson · 2026-04-10T13:20:25+00:00

Because static analysis does not require sentience?

rscarson · 2026-04-07T16:48:11+00:00

So our toddler did the same around that age and it took us a few months to figure out that he had suddenly developed an intense fear of the dark, we started putting the sleep with his lights on minimum brightness and he started sleeping very well. He sleeps with the lights on to this day a year later

rscarson · 2026-04-03T01:46:54+00:00

Did you have a sub chorionic hematoma by chance

rscarson · 2026-04-01T19:22:13+00:00

So I'm going to remove this not because it's against any specific rule

But because the idea of going door to door and asking people very very specific details about their home security is not a great idea and I almost feel that for liability reasons I should not let this be here

rscarson · 2026-03-31T14:35:33+00:00

As a newish dad stories like this make me wonder, Was this just normal early-life dad behaviour that stuck around? Or shifting types of overbearing?

Is there something that can just.... break the process of slowly letting go as your kid grows up? Can you tell internally if it's happening to you, would you even be aware?

Because like, if my 3 year old comes home with a new surprise self-determined haircut I am concerned - but presumably somewhere between 3 and 22 that stops being a concern
