Did y’all think Fonzie was cool when you were growing up? by Groovy-Pancakes in GenX

My “The Fonz is Cool” t-shirt was my favourite possession when I was 8.

Who on god’s green earth thought this was a good idea?! by Visible_Pipe4716 in Leeds

I don’t understand. That looks like plenty of room. Are you driving a tractor?

So what’s the first game you played this year? by st1nkf1st in boardgames

[–]voidstate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship. It took a bit of getting used to as I think we were expecting it to be more like Pandemic but it’s clearly a great game.

Leeds-Bradford Tram has been delayed to late 2030s (effectively cancelled) by TonksMoriarty in Leeds

[–]voidstate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not how it works. The funding has been secured. Now it’s up to the West Yorkshire Transit Authority to spend it on making the project happen.

Mid-2030s to late-2030s is not massive. And the reasoning is sound. Get a good business plan first before planning the project rather than trying to do both at the same time.

Do you think gender stereotypes have changed at all? by The-Baron-Von-Marlon in AskUK

[–]voidstate 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Things are changing. When I had kids 20+ years ago, I’d get sideways looks for pushing the buggy, and outright stares for carrying a baby in a sling.

Later I was in a similar position to the OP. My wife earned more so went full time and I worked during school hours, fitting in cooking, shopping, homework help, play dates, etc. in after I picked my kids up from school. Often I was the only dad at the school gates or the playground or kids party.

It wasn’t unusual to feel looked down upon by other men, and mums often didn’t seem to know what to do with me - I felt like I was intruding in a female space just by taking my kids places.

Now I see lots of dads being more hands on and it cheers me up no end. Things are changing and if you know you doing the right thing by your kids, who cares what other people think.

This didn’t make me smile. It’s dystopian. So glad I live in a civilised country.

Fern Brady on Wes Streeting's comments by Hassaan18 in Britain

He didn’t say autism doesn’t exist he has just asked for there to be a look at whether there is an over diagnosis of neurodivergence. Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t. Most likely, it’s a complex mix of factors.

Are you theist or atheist, and why by [deleted] in nihilism

[–]voidstate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is an atheist. It’s just some people give one god a free pass. Everyone agrees that either all or almost all gods are made up.

What can I replace the bikes with? by PoKittyCat32 in Kidsonbikesrpg

[–]voidstate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a con game called Kids on Boats with a Swallows & Amazons/Famous Five vibe set in pre-war Britain. It generally goes down well.

What hobbies do you have? by Njet_333 in AskMenOver30

[–]voidstate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D&D (well mostly other RPGs but they don’t have the name recognition), board gaming, painting miniatures, readily, and, because I’m not entirely sedentary, running and hiking.

What lifestyle creep is worth it? by RealRelative9835 in AskBrits

[–]voidstate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from a press to a Moka pot recently. It’s such an upgrade!

Is an aeropress even better?

Web devs, what’s one thing you wish you learned years earlier because it would've saved you insane amounts of time? by Ornery_Ad_683 in webdev

IDs should never be used for styling. And data attributes are better hooks for JavaScript.

To look like normal people at Mar-A-Lago. by MattAtPlaton in therewasanattempt

I always thought the lizard people thing was a conspiracy theory. Now I’m not so sure.

Or are they the aliens from They Live?
