I have a “No clocks in the bedroom” rule. As a person who has struggled with falling asleep, having a bright glowing display constantly reminding me how tired I’m going to be in the morning just gave me more anxiety and made it even more difficult to fall asleep.

I still have my watch and my phone, but those are things I need to purposely move to look at.

A projector clock sounds like hell to me.

Hah! Up until this exact moment, I thought it was “The cross eyed stare that you gave to me”

Alanis Morissette did the song named “Ironic” in which she gave a bunch of examples of things that were not actually ironic, which in itself is ironic.

It actually ended up being great! She was very patient in the store and was super happy letting me hand stuff to her so she could put it in the cart. She wanted to help and she loved doing it! She was asking a lot of “what’s that?” for everything in the store, and I got to explain to her what different things were and how I would use them in a recepie. It did indeed end up being a fun daddy/daughter day, and my wife was pulling up just as I got back to our apartment so she was able to help out with carrying the groceries. Then I was able to get some meal prepping done while my wife kept an eye on our daughter. We even were able to squeeze in a trip to the fall carnival in the evening and I got to take my daughter down the Super Slide for the first time. She absolutely loved it.

So now I’m exhausted, but all in all 10/10 day, would do it again.

My daughter is taking a nap, and my wife is out for most of the day coaching soccer. Things are peaceful now, but when my daughter wakes up, I have to do the grocery shopping for the week and start meal prepping. Not sure if you guys have dealt with a toddler in a super market, but it’s a nightmare. Then I have to figure out how I am going to get the groceries up to my 3rd floor walk up apartment while wrangling my daughter. I can’t just leave her in my apartment while I make trips because toddlers are basically constantly trying to kill themselves, and it’s my job to make sure that doesn’t happen. Then I have to start meal prepping with a toddler in my care. This is another set of challenges. I could wait until my wife gets home, but then I’m shopping late and won’t be able to cook until tomorrow. And if I have to cook all day tomorrow, then we don’t get to go on a family bike ride, and this time of year is so perfect for bike riding. I could order the groceries online, but they always fuck it up and then I end up having to go to the store anyway.

This might not be as big as some of the other problems people are having today, but man, I could really just use another set of hands to help me through today’s responsibilities.

I don’t condone their actions or views but I remember when that sub existed and I can shed some light on the fat hate redpill train of thought.

They tried to justify it saying that fat people were a drain on society because of health issues. They took up space in hospital rooms that could otherwise be used for “healthy people with real problems”. Like they saw being fat as an issue that the person could fix by themselves, and they shouldn’t take up medical resources. And they drive up insurance costs for companies because being fat is like a pre existing condition etc.

But what was it at the end of the day? A hate group. I get that America and other places have issues with weight, but the solution is not hate.

Absolute is crazy. I work at an organization that uses it. It lives in the bios level and is essentially a root kit. I understand how it is useful for lost/stolen devices, but it way over steps a lot of boundaries.

Wife and I bought an apartment in April 2018, great deal, great rates.

The we had a kid in 2023.

We have a second coming in 2025

We need to buy a house, and have no idea how the fuck we are going to make it happen. We’re not even that bad off, we both do pretty damn well, but we are about to be facing $4k/month in childcare, and even with the huge pile of down payment money we have saved, we wouldn’t be able to afford the mortgage.

We still own our apartment though, which is better than renting. I keep telling myself “We will figure it out, people have done more with less”, but man… If this was like 5 or 6 years ago we would have been living large.

I always look at things like these and are tempted to buy them. There is so much cool audio gear out there that I feel like could “up my game”, but then I realize I have no game and already own a bunch of fun production gear that collects dust because I don’t have the time or energy to make music anymore.

I considered selling some of my stuff, but want to hang on to it just in case any of my kids pick up the hobby and all my stuff is cool and “retro” at that point. Shit it is almost already cool and retro - Akai MPC1000, Korg Electribe SX ESX1, Korg KP3, Dsi MoPho, a couple other bits and bobs.

But yeah, always tempted to buy cool new awesome shit that I would never use.

There’s a rumble in the Bronx

There’s big trouble in little China

The spice must flow

Yeah that one was weird. Like the dude was always singing about being horrifically depressed, and then when he hung himself it was like surprised Pikachu face

Sausage Link and the Meat Patties

Plain NY slice from the window on the counter. Something about that 2nd heat up really brings the crisp out.

Not me but a buddy of mine was a “Cheese Monger”. I always found that one pretty funny.

Also when I was in high school, I was going through a book of prefessions in “Careers” class and I found “Chick Sexer”. Heh… Heheh… Chick Sexer.

The spooky orange filling Oreo Cookies. They just hit different.

I don’t understand why anything anti capitalism these days is automatically communism. It’s such a large swing from one side to the other. I just want my taxes to pay for healthcare, infrastructure, and education instead of wars and prisons. I want to stop getting fucked by corporations that have infinitely more money than I can ever imagine. I don’t think that makes me a communist. I’m just anti-fucking-the-people. Capitalism can fuck people. Communism can fuck people too. I support Corpo-Politico-Celibacism. Stop the fucking.

Edit: Okay, fuck the people. You guys must have this figured out.

Similarly I have a discord server with friends. One of the text channels on that server is dedicated to sharing links to music. One of my friends has very similar music tastes and posts stuff I have never heard. No idea how he finds it, but it certainly makes it easier for me to find new stuff.

Thanks, Kev.

Kicks down door

“I’m here to kick gum and chew… Wait…”

BLAM BLAM BLAM

Hold the phone… You’re telling me that it’s possible that Bob Marley also shot the deputy? Wait… Did he even shoot the sheriff? And if so, how can we be sure that it was in self defense?! Oh man, my whole world is upside-down now.
