Very interesting. Since I left windows, this isn’t an issue for me but I will be more aware that this can happen now.

The Tea Party and MAGA also had billionaire funding.

Fantastic advice here.

I’ll only toss a couple of things in too.

If you’re lucky to be taking paternity leave then count the first few weeks as a complete wash of doing “anything”. I recommend nesting in the most convenient room where you can accomplish everything you need to including sleep. If possible, make it not your bedroom. That way you can banish the SO to the bedroom if things are getting overwhelming and a brief break/nap from parenthood can do wonders.

If, god forbid, you have a colicy baby make sure to take sanity breaks. If you have addressed every need and the baby is safe then walk away where you can still hear the crying but can collect yourself. I could never imagine harming a baby until my second and I had to take sanity breaks to stop intrusive thoughts. A sleep deprived brain can only take so much screaming before your animal brain starts screaming itself. If your SO is with a screaming baby all day then any and all time away from them is critical safety need. I used to come home from work and shove my SO out the door.

If you are blessed to have support from friends/family TAKE IT. Don’t abuse it but if someone offers to give you a break then thank them and take it.

If breastfeeding is not possible, do not let holier than thou motherfuckers shame you for feeding your child formula. You would not believe how many times I used to have to snidely reply to people by asking if it would better that my baby die from malnutrition rather than have formula.

lol just out here making wild claims about other people’s bodies.

Damn :(

I hope he focuses on himself. My entertainment means nothing if he can’t enjoy time with loved ones.

I apologize. I was looking to just say that some light handed editing can offset the lighting. My kitchen lighting makes my photos look worse than what it looks like in person.

I think this helps make it look more appetizing. The lights in kitchens can make food look worse in pictures vs what it actually looks like.

I’m aware. Once Gabe retires or dies, I’m going to start distrusting Valve. Once they go public, it’s over.

Fuck pennies. Even back in the 90s, it was annoying to receive.

Only one company has apparently learned how to print money and not be ghouls.

Pick up the trash.

Bring a small bag and gloves/grabber. Clean a section and get a free dopamine hit.

Wild way to hold a writing utensil.

This isn’t the same. A political party operating in its own self interests versus the opposing political party putting it to a vote to offset the damage.

Cancer kills cells. Chemotherapy kills cells. Wow, the same thing.

There’s a difference between symbolic protesting and concrete protesting.

Huh? Of course the fascists decry any show of resistance.

I’d watch this YouTube channel

Do what you can, where/when you can. I thankfully just use it for photo backup which I can easily transfer to my server. So my cancellation was easier than it sounds like it would be for you.

Every little bit helps.

It’s running windows out of convenience but I’ll be swapping to Linux soon.

I have a 16TB server and an extensive steam collection. I already explained it to him and he was fine about it.

Just cancelled my subscription and 365 subscription. $360 back in my pocket every year.
