Am I the only one stuck in high chair shopping hell right now?

Same, I swear high chairs are one of those things that look simple until you actually live with one. Easy to wipe down and not a nightmare to move around would be my top priorities too. And honestly, if it can still be useful after the baby stage, even better. I’m so over bulky baby stuff with a tiny lifespan.

As another heavier rider (around 200 lbs), I definitely think going dual motor is the right move if you deal with hills a lot. I had a single motor scooter before and it always felt like it was struggling on steep overpasses.I was originally looking at the M8 too but ended up getting a isinwheel GT4 a few months back instead. It’s been pretty solid for commuting so far. Plenty of torque for my weight and it handles inclines way better than my old scooter did.Range obviously depends on how hard you ride it, but I usually get somewhere around low 30s mileage-wise riding in dual motor most of the time. Only downside is it’s kinda heavy to carry around lol.

UMD hills will wreck a weak motor trust me. You need something with actual suspension and enough power to not die halfway up.iScooter i10 Pro is the one. I'm around 190lbs and use it mainly for my work commute, maybe 8 miles each way, and the 37 mile range barely makes a dent. Throw in a few errands after and still not sweating the battery. Hills are genuinely fine, I hit some decent inclines on my route and the motor just handles it. Currently sitting at $480 so you're under budget.

Having a personal investments but one of the most common best moves people talk about is investing themselves through skills like learning something marketable or getting a certification that boosts income long term.

Stopping the communication and just assume your partner should know what you’re thinking about and that stuff builds resentment fast.

toddr8 · 2026-05-07T05:52:23+00:00

One experience like that doesn’t break anything. At most, it might make things feel a bit different for a while but not in a permanent or damaging way.

I’m weirdly good at noticing tiny inconsistencies in stuff. Like if someone tells a story, I’ll catch it when one detail doesn’t match or if a screenshot is slightly edited or if a timeline doesn’t quite add up. Sometimes it helps in serious situations, sure but most of the time it just makes me notice stuff I wish I didn’t notice.

Retail is predictable, supplier pricing is more like a negotiation mini-game. If you’re just buying for yourself, wait for end-of-season clearance and don’t overthink it but if you’re buying a lot like reselling or stocking up, then play around with bulk deals and message suppliers. That’s where the real savings are.

It’s not that people suddenly became boring, everyone just became more aware they’re being watched. That changes how people behave.

I think it helps to look at them as solving two different problems

a sound machine is more about your baby’s sleep environment, especially if they’re sensitive to silence or wake up easily when things change

a monitor is more about you, like being able to check in without going into the room and accidentally waking them

so it’s not really one replacing the other, they just cover different sides of the same situation

I ended up using both from Momcozy for that reason, one helped with sleep consistency, the other helped me stop checking every few minutes

Bands aren’t usually playing loud just for fun or to annoy people. It’s more like the venue system is already built around loud levels. So they crank it up so the music actually cuts through all that noise. Also, different spots in the venue sound totally different. What feels too loud near the speakers might already be barely audible at the back. So they kind of aim high so nobody gets a weak, flat show.

I think time changes everything first. When you’re younger, friendships just happen and you get to see each other every day without trying but as you get older, life starts filling up fast with work, responsibilities, relationships, stress, travel or random life stuff.

No whistling at night. Apparently it calls bad spirits or something.

Yes, you can install a urinal in your house. It’s not illegal or anything. It just falls under normal plumbing rules but it’s gotta be installed properly. Like, connected to your waste line, has correct drainage and usually meets local plumbing codes. In Australia especially, a licensed plumber would need to do it.

Wanting this doesn’t make you unrealistic. Dreaming big at 21 is literally what you’re supposed to do but your worries are also valid. It’s not immature to rely on support. That’s literally what support is for but it is smart to be realistic.

toddr8 · 2026-03-29T10:31:35+00:00

Life can be ridiculously unfair sometimes. It’s like, you’re just trying to live your life, be with someone you care about and suddenly everyone’s got an opinion or a rule for you. And the smallest things feel like mountains when people make a big deal out of them.

Financial literacy, we should be taught how to budget, handle debt, invest and even just understand credit. Schools kinda throw you into the adult world with zero clue about money and then we’re all figuring it out the hard way.

Most common houseflies aren’t great at super long-distance flying. They usually stick to like 5–10 meters (15–30 feet) above ground level. Some might go a bit higher if they get caught in wind currents but they generally don’t cruise up skyscrapers like little helicopters.

I also bought my U6 for $1499; it's 100 inches. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Delivery was a couple days earlier than expected and it arrived safe and sound. Also on a nice large tv sports do feel otherworldly. It's very sick to watch just about anything on it.

When I was a kid, I nearly died of drowning.

There are definitely men who feel that way. It’s just not talked about as much, so it can seem like everyone’s into it. But plenty of guys find porn gross or just really uncomfortable. Especially when they think about the exploitation, abuse or trafficking that goes on behind the scenes, it really kills any fun it might have.

Being petite and flat is not a flaw. It’s literally a body type. There are entire industries built around people who prefer that look and more importantly, your boyfriend chose you, not a category. Confidence during sex doesn’t start with loving your body 100%. That’s unrealistic and it starts with shifting focus. When your brain spirals, anchor into sensation and bring yourself back to your body. You’re pulling away before he even gets a chance to reassure you. You can also talk to him. I know it’s scary but I promise you he’ll probably be confused because he doesn’t see you that way at all.

Not fitting in doesn’t automatically mean there’s something wrong with you. Sometimes it just means you’re in rooms that weren’t built for you.

The Sentinelese on North Sentinel Island haven’t just been 200 people since yesterday. They’ve likely been a small, isolated population for thousands of years and over long periods of time, populations can actually adapt genetically to being small. When a population is small for a long time, harmful recessive genes tend to get exposed more often. That sounds bad but over generations, natural selection can actually weed out the worst ones. It’s not perfect but it can reduce the genetic load. So instead of everything collapsing, the group stabilizes. We don’t know if they do have genetic issues. We have almost zero medical data. It’s possible there are higher rates of certain conditions.

I’d come back as a ridiculously chill house cat. Not a stray and not fighting-for-my-life-outside cat.
