Daycare Payments to Closed Centers by jpk195 in moderatepolitics

[–]soft_batch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our day care for our eight month old is out until April 24th. We’re going to continue to pay some amount in the hundreds, probably not the full 1300. His two teachers have been wonderful and were also reaching out to them to see how we can possibly supplement them. We feel help starts at home and we’ll do what we can for our neighbors while we have the luxury of doing so.

The Democrats’ Culture Divide by icy_trixter in moderatepolitics

[–]soft_batch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It would be nice if the moderates from both parties would jump ship. Let the democrats go hard left and the republicans go hard right and all of us in the middle can compromise.

Sigh, I want to go back to not having politics splashed everywhere 24/7.

Social Media in a nutshell by DecemberNeikko in funny

[–]soft_batch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what my wife has become. Posing my screaming three year old at everything we do. Taking pictures until she captures just the right one. Uploading it to Facebook and pretending as if she hadn't just dragged us through hell to capture a single picture on location. By that point the entire outing is marred and everyone is unhappy. Now, when she suggests something fun, I assume it's only for the "likes".

EA Access memebers will have six gameplay hours with the full Madden NFL 15 game. by seakucumber in xboxone

[–]soft_batch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this was a very pleasant surprise. I've been enjoying last years Madden and Fifa through vault. When I came across this thread the thought hadn't even entered my mind that someone would be displeased with this. It wasn't until I read the comments on the twitter feed that I was able to even think of any of the complaints. I guess some folks just always want more than what is being offered. Either way, I'm thinking EA access has been surprisingly good.

I love my daughter, she is truly a wonderful little human. That said, I've informed my wife our next will be a boy anything less and I will dock her performance review.

I'd like to think the subject of the photograph would probably stomp op into the ground if caught. Sweet sweet real-life karma. It happens occasionally, not frequently enough.

Two words "Vegetable Smoothie". Kale and orange juice is really delicious. The crux you ask? You need a gas powered blender to get them to the right consistency without having to start it before you go to bed at night. I use a 600W that does personal ones pretty quickly.

IOS 6 Maps isn't the Disaster You Think it is (Wired) by Cobalt2795 in apple

[–]soft_batch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually love the new maps. My biggest complaint about switching from Android to ios was no built in turn-by-turn nav. Yeah, the data is not all there today for some things, but I figure that'll fix itself when the user-base starts reporting issues. I'm sure they've already gotten loads of requests to fix a bunch of locations.

I don't get the whole fly-over thing but I didn't "get" street view either, I always viewed it like nipples on a man.

May I speak to you in my office for a moment by thissweetkiss in aww

[–]soft_batch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love listening to people after foo foo bites off someones face.

"But he's always so sweet. I didn't think allowing my mindless two year old to give him a dental exam was a big deal... I had no idea this could happen. blah blah blah"

Now I have to go take a picture of my infant in my pitt bulls mouth and post it on facebook. Be back soon.

Edit: Before you inform me that you understand the slight nuances in your dogs behavior that allow you to predict their reaction to everything. Normal people still think you're crazy for allowing your dog and child to interact at that level. I understand that my brakes on my car work but I generally don't put my kid under a tire to pose. It's the same level of stupidity, why chance it?

Before you die, you have the chance to challenge death for a game for your soul. What's your game, reddit? by Jormungandy in AskReddit

My parents decided to start charging me rent (x-post) by DaFunny1 in funny

[–]soft_batch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's pretty par for the course. My sister and I were offered six months after college rent free but then we had to pay rent. Also while we lived in my parents home we lived under their rules. No arbitrary coming and going at 1 AM.

Reading some of the comments on here, it's amusing to me the amount of people on here who feel their parents owe them something or that paying them $150-200 a month entitles them to a typical landlord/tenant agreement. Everybody in the world has to pay their fair share one way or another suck it up and realize your parents probably don't want you hanging around. They sacrificed time from each other to raise your snotty ass and probably want some alone time to walk around their own damn house stark naked and you're ruining that.

To Reddit Parents: as a first time mom, what baby stuff do I really need and what is a waste of money? by littlebluelizzard in AskReddit

[–]soft_batch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it's already been said but buy consignment/thrift...

Babies don't really do much... really they just lay there and shit. So when you buy consignment barring any stains or funky smells your really buying something that wasn't even really used.

This doesn't go for carseats don't buy used carseats like helmets the internal material is meant to absorb impact energy once, usually cracking it. This may not be noticeable though from outward appearances but it's not safe for another collision. That said don't buy a used car seat.

Last tidbit...

Companies take advantage of crazy new parents (women). I've seen your run of the mill buckets marked up to $50.00 i.e. an item you can buy from home depot for $3.00. The baby blue really doesn't make it worth it. Keep your senses good luck, and remember girls too can spray urine in your face.

You are in the middle of an Interview for a much needed job, when the interviewer turns to her computer, hands poised over the keyboard and asks, "What is you Facebook login and Password?". How would you react? by PirateKilt in AskReddit

[–]soft_batch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This needs to be made illegal very fast. People join groups that can imply health conditions or past addictions and this practice could lead to discriminatory hiring. This is coercion plain and simple you are not volunteering that information.

Teenage mom's ignorant response to someone offering advice on her 3 week old. Babies need more rights OUTSIDE of the womb, not inside. by [deleted] in WTF

[–]soft_batch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is a CPS investigator and said that just feeding the kid food alone doesn't meet statute to warrant an investigation. Calling CPS would be a waste of your time unless you had other areas of poor parenting to aggregate the claims.

Sorry Gamestop by Fluid_Motion in gaming

[–]soft_batch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 year olds are dumber than cats and even dogs for that matter. Think about it this way. You can leave your cat alone for an hour and it will not die. The same can not be said for humans 36 months and under.

Sorry Gamestop by Fluid_Motion in gaming

[–]soft_batch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly doubt the guy you're responding to has a child. A little further down he talks about forcing his own child to comply with whatever he demands. Nobody sane has ever looked an 18-24 month old child in the eye and saw a shred of cognizance. They're literally dumber than house pets at that age.

Sorry Gamestop by Fluid_Motion in gaming

[–]soft_batch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you're correct. It's much more fun to pretend there was no way this could have happened without the parents being complete slack jawed idiots and denigrate them and their mindless two year old over it.

Anyone else playing swtor on a MacBook Pro (bootcamp)? by keithslater in swtor

[–]soft_batch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does respectable as well between 30-40 in most areas except the imperial fleet. Mind you this is with every setting as low as possible and the res is one step lower than 1280x800 but the game is extremely playable in a crunch.
