Agreed. It’s not just the right thing to do, EVERYONE does better when momma is happy

Damn y’all talking about 25 years from now, knocking back a glass of single malt. I’d guess a practical thing for a newborn/youngin = no baby was ever harmed by crying alone for a few minutes. That doesn’t just got for Ferber-style sleep training. I’m not ashamed to say there had been times when I was exhausted, desperate for peace and my mind was an MC Escher painting = calmly put baby in the crib, go outside away from the crying, and find some functioning brain cells to rub together. Then go back inside to address the problem. I was reading Band of Brothers at the time, and there’s a passage about ‘even being 50 yards away from the front line can rejuvenate a weary solder’. Not equating warfare to a newborn, but it really stuck with me. PS: For the love of everything that matters…find yourself a system wherein you don’t leave your kid in the car. You’ve got a summer baby and you’re not used to toting Jr around…throw your keys in the back seat (if a wireless fob), put a sticky note on the dash, whatever works for you. My kids are 6/9 and I still have nightmares.

Good luck dude. As you see here, everyone will have an opinion…but honestly I spent the first year trying not to accidentally kill them, the second year trying to ensure they didn’t kill themselves, then at 3 I was back to trying not to kill them. You’ll be fine…though I will fully agree that sleep training in their own bed is critical. Want to have sex again someday? Keep the kid out of your bed. A mistake I made with my first kid was getting caught up in “I can’t wait till…”. Can’t wait until they can sleep all night, or feed themselves, or walk, or get out diapers, etc. All with the goal of ‘getting back to normal’. There is no going back. Embrace your new normal while trying to take it all in occasionally…that grouchy, half-asleep, 3am exhausted feeding watching reruns of Mythbusters will become a core memory. As my pediatrician said when my son was 3 days old: “long days and short years” PS: Watch out for PPD in your wife/partner, be an involved husband/father, and let any intense relationship shit roll off your back the first 6-12 months.

I would have paid a small fortune to listen to MAC and RDC…well…just shoot the gotdamn breeze, if I’m being honest. This place attracts characters, and it’s like my favorite corner of the internet becomes a little darker when one passes on. I wasn’t as familiar with MAC as many of you were, so my words ring pretty hollow…but guys like him are the Machi Cure at Uchi in an otherwise soulless landscape of flash-frozen, microwaved fish sticks that goes for storytelling in the Tik Tok age. Glad his legacy will live on through his long form. “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die” - HST

All the pieces matter

What…no love for Liquid Television?

I’ve always been in the Simpler Is Better camp, so no as a Poke I wasn’t that wild about the bandana thing…especially as it wasn’t that visible. I like the new threads though. Hard to compete with y’all’s white on white though

Fuck RHCP.

This…Tiger King anyone?

…patiently awaiting retort about how criminals aren’t going to do that, so we shouldn’t bother doing anything except ‘enforce existing laws’

Yeah that’s the last time I post shit my wife sends me

Don’t look at Next Door. The only reason I still get alert emails is the comic factor but occasionally there’s the “I’m worried about someone walking through the neighborhood and I’m going to great lengths to describe their appearance without mentioning skin color until the actual black/brown person, who lives there, responds that they were exercising.”

Supposed lineup. Love me some ODESZA, The 1975 is my guilty pop pleasure (Menswear is a masterpiece), always wanted to see Explosions In the Sky. As always I don’t know hardly any of the first few rows, but always enjoy the undercards.

Yes but I didn’t know what RWDS meant until yesterday. I certainly know the SS

So when I posted about RWDS getting added to the list…I didn’t know he literally had fucking SS tat on his arm. WTF

For the weather dude…why the fuck even have a doorbell if it’s going to be answered packing a gun? Wtf

If I got my kids in the car, it’s 100% I’m out of there. Solo, probably 80% chance. No way I’m judging anyone for fleeing in that situation. Always think back to ROT in 2019 at the Expo. We were in our usual RV spot about 11p watching the constant ‘parade’ of drunks navigate the S-turn in front of us when a golf cart with two women standing in the back flips over. One woman in particular hits her head so hard I can hear it over the constant roar. Not gonna YGIFS this, so short version is only myself and one other ran up to help…everyone else (dozens) watched. Pointing directly at a person and telling them to call 911, as you’re taught, they just stared. Had to pull out my own phone and do it myself while trying to see if she was breathing. I was amazed at the bystander effect. Everyone reacts differently, self preservation kicks in.

I didn’t even know it was a thing until today. Yesterday if I’d seen RWDS on someone I’d assume it just stood for some dental school or Relentless Whiskey Dick Syndrome. Oh and add balding white guys with goatees and oakleys to the list.

So now I have to add RWDS patches to things that instantly make me weary? I already keep a close eye on people with Thin Blue Line, Punisher bullshit, 1776, MAGA, Come and Take It, One Family, Pepe, Let’s Go Brandon, and pretty much any over usage of our flag. So now RWDS is basically what the Einsatzgruppen was to the SS. And history will judge this right wing bullshit (I’d call it far right or alt right, but outlets like Fox don’t even try to hide it anymore) the same way we look at the SS now.

Always wondered what the ion cannon would look like in Command and Conquer Generals
