This attitude is what lets the government and big tech get away with so much bullshit.

“Well it’s happening already so crying about it isn’t going to change anything because you know that protest has never ever been effective even once ever and I kinda like the taste of boot anyways so what’s the big deal?”

I had to look this up; looks like the charges were dropped, which is slightly different from a ruling of innocence. The AG isn’t saying he didn’t do it, just that they can’t prove it through evidence.

I don’t like assuming guilt, especially when it ruins careers before any proof can be established, but I also remember hearing that he was kinda a dickhead… so maybe he just didn’t do himself any favors?

Babies are a great source of stress and responsibility, it’s natural to feel some pressure. You’re not a bad person for doing what dads are prone to doing: looking for a problem so you can solve it.

However, you need to set all that aside. Your job right now is to chill out and be supportive. What will be will be, the challenges ahead won’t be easier to tackle by stressing your wife out and straining your relationship. The practical response to what you’re feeling is to let it go and just be along for the ride for a while.

All that aside, having a baby may come with extra challenges but it also comes with tremendous benefits. Dads lose out on all the good pregnancy hormones and emotions and it’s hard to see the baby as real until it’s in your hands; but the moment that happens your life changes for the better in so many ways.

It is impossible to describe the moment when you hold your first child for the first time but it is a life changing experience.

AA is my airline of choice, so I guess it’s time to find a new one.

Like less than a month ago.

I used bazzite on my ROG Ally for a couple of days before I went back to windows because it didn’t reliably work. Crashes abound and some games that work fine on my Steam Deck just refused to open.

Hopefully one day it gets ironed out.

Learning to work the clutch and feel the friction zone is a more difficult skill than some want to admit.

Learning to drive a motorcycle was a bit overwhelming, I remember my instructor talking about applying the brakes with right hand and foot while disengaging the clutch with the left hand and downshifting with the left foot… and thinking “how the hell is anyone supposed to keep track of all that!”

I do miss my stick shift though, it was more fun to drive even if less practical.

It makes me so angry because children are vulnerable and trusting; exploiting that to get them to believe in nonsense is evil.

That our highest levels of government spend time engaging in high school drama should be terrifying to all Americans.

Ugh I wanted one of these so fucking badly when I was a kid.

He’s begging for money from big oil, maybe possibly potentially related to this particular hot take.
