Schedar,

I’ve experienced exactly the same with my son. He was in hospital for about two weeks but is now absolutely fine.

Really scary and distressing time, I still get wobbly when thinking about it… but the doctors and nurses will look after him.

I hope you’re doing okay. At least as okay as you can be. Don’t forget to eat and sleep yourself.

Schedar,

It’s not meaningless at all. It is important to have people who genuinely care and are trying to do what’s best for the community to take part.

If you have the time and the motivation then absolutely go for it. Try to make your part of the world that little bit better

Schedar,

Congratulations! Do you have a name ready or are you going to wait and see what fits once she’s here?

Schedar,

Same here! Although my partner has no concept of “too cold” so we’ll end up on the beach in the middle of winter too.

Talking to our little boy our plans for the beach are:

Make a smiley face, Find Seaweed, SAUSAGES!

Schedar,

Hope he’s doing okay, sending some good thoughts!

Schedar,

Has there been any reviews out yet about how it plays on PS5? I am planning on getting it for PS5 (once I finally finish BOTW) but haven’t seen anything yet about what it’s like on PS5 compared to PC

Schedar,

Bit early to tell, but I am looking forward to some good evenings planned.

Have a few social evenings this week that are just for me rather than family - (games night, pub trip, a work do etc). Very much needed as I’ve been feeling a tad isolated recently with work.

Just happened to all land on the same week, but they (mostly) kick off late enough that I can still help with the little boy bedtime routine so I don’t feel like I’m shirking parental duties. It wouldn’t really matter , my partner is awesome and would be plenty happy for me to have a few nights “off” - but always better when they dont come with that self inflicted guilt!

Schedar,

House buying is the absolute worst. I hate it so much…

You have to decide so much, on so little information and time. Hell you can spend longer researching a cheap kitchen appliance than a house.

Even when it’s all sorted it’s not really… not until you finally have the keys.

The only way I could be stay sane was shifting my way of thinking… eventually you will find your home and before long you’ll be making memories in it and will absolutely love your house. Every house you missed on was really a good thing in the end as it will lead you to that one house, your proper home.

Schedar,

Obviously they aren’t serious… why is this still generating headlines?

Fan Ports PlayStation Classic [WipeOut], Dares Sony To Shut Him Down And Make Its Own (kotaku.com)

WipeOut was Sony’s initial first-party exclusive for the original PlayStation when it launched back in 1995. The anti-gravity racing game was phenomenal. Now it’s abandoned. So one dedicated programmer took it upon himself to excavate the game’s leaked source code and make it playable for free in any web browser....

Schedar,

WipeOut 2097 was my first WipeOut game and I absolutely loved it. I’ve still got the soundtrack saved on Spotify for when I need a high energy boost.

Schedar,

Exactly what I was thinking.

I mean it is important that this kind of stuff is thought about when designing these but it’s going to be a whack-a-mole situation and we shouldn’t be surprised that with targeted prompting you’ll easily gaps that generated stuff like this.

Making articles out of each controversial or immoral prompt isn’t helpful at all. It’s just spam.

Schedar,

My family as a whole. I’m extremely grateful and happy to have such a good & close family. This includes my direct family, in-laws and friends (who really are official family as god parents now!)

(vent) god I hate customers

I’ve said it before on beehaw but I work pizza delivery. You’d think it would be an easy job, just drive around and drop off pizzas and enjoy music, but holy shit the amount of pure hatred I’ve gotten from customers over the dumbest little thing is just insane. I had a guy call me, a white-male, a racial slur because we...

Schedar,

I’ve only had a little bit of retail experience from my teenage days and even with that this just brings back such flash backs. People getting mad at a kid just because the store didn’t have the DVD they wanted or because they’ve been asked to park up at the drive through and wait 5 min for their food.

Personally I think any business owner, especially a home delivery service like pizza, should be firm and quickly blacklist customers who act like this. Delivery drivers put themselves at risk, they are lone workers going to random people’s home. It should be treated seriously.

World would be a lot better if people who treat service workers poorly quickly found that they could no longer get service at all.

Schedar,

Just gave me flashbacks to when I forget my debit card pin.

it was a pin I’d used for years, used it multiple times a week if not every single day

Then one day I went to the cash point and just blanked. Lost it entirely. Poof.

Had to go through the hoops of requesting a new pin and I wasn’t able to get any money out at the time.

Wasn’t really a big deal at all…. But I totally get that weirdness of just banking on something that you had used so many times before without issue. Freaked me out for a while about how my brain could have just randomly deleted that bit of information that had seemed so solid before.

I’m not trying to compare my little inconvenience to your situation but just that you aren’t alone in the camp of suddenly forgetting a password that you’d known for ages.

Schedar,

Work has been crap but as long as I compartmentalise that bit the rest has been lovely.

Have had a really enjoyable (and knackering!) weekend with friends and family.

Schedar,

exactly what I was thinking. That big starting number is misleading at best.

What kind of discussions are y'all interested in having?

Although I don’t fully agree with the sentiment expressed by this thread, it did get me thinking about leaning even further into contributing to an environment I’d like to participate in. I personally much prefer dedicated discussion threads to discussing news stories myself and reading through the comments it seems like...

Schedar,

I just finished listening to “how to be perfect” by michael schur. It could be a bit cringe at times but it was a really interesting listen (especially when confecting it to The Good Place)

Definitely got me to think a bit more about moral philosophy and my own choices day to day.

One personal philosophy I try to follow is that I really try hard to think the best of people…. Assume the best rather than the worst.

Most obvious example is when driving: if a driver is going too fast/too slow/not indicating/drifting/hogging the middle lane etc etc…… they probably aren’t trying to be assholes, maybe something in their life is distracting them, maybe just made an honest mistake and now feel bad about it all day because they realise they weren’t quick enough to wave a sorry in the window and so on.

Schedar,

I’ve been listening to lateralcast.com a lot recently. I also like the guardian “Today in Focus”

Schedar,

I do like all kinds of holidays. Relaxing with a book holidays, city breaks, friend boozy holidays, exhausting family holidays etc

My ideal holidays though is a nature/wildness focused holiday (but staying somewhere nice… I can enjoy camping but it isn’t “ideal holiday” material). USA National Parks, Canadian Rockies, The Nordics, Safari etc

Schedar,

with chicken meat since it has a smaller impact on the environment.

I had assumed that a plant-based burger would be better for the environment than a meat based burger (including chicken) - or am I entirely wrong here? (I guess there is complexity depending on the type of “plant-based” burger and the type of meat and where it was sourced from etc)

Schedar,

I agree, that is the major reason I try to choose plant based options. I was just thrown by @Hirom saying about chicken being better for the environment, I’m assume they meant it’s better than beef (which it is) but not as good as the plant-based versions.

Good Omens: Season 2 is finally upon us, and it's wonderful. (www.imdb.com)

I loved the first season because I’m a huge fan of Pratchett and Gaiman, so was a little nervous that the next series, with no source material to adapt wouldn’t hit the mark. But then I saw that Neil had asked John Finnemore to help him write it, and that sealed it for me. No one could replace Terry, but John Finnemore comes...

Schedar,

Just finished S2 and really enjoyed it. A bit sad that I wasn’t able to resist and watched it all in just a few days.

Maybe I’ll go back and rewatch the first series

Schedar,

The biggest barrier I’ve seen around me from other Dads is mostly about positive father figures and the expectations of society of what it is to be a good Dad and supporting partner (this is also mentioned in the article which I agree with).

I was absolutely shocked at the bare minimum that other Dads seem to do and get away with. People who I’d normally consider good,thoughtful and responsible people just seem absolutely oblivious to the struggles of their partner and what it takes to be a properly equal parent.

Discussing it (gently… as it’s never my place to butt into other people’s parenting styles) the running theme was that they are using their own Dad as a sort of base line, trying to be genuinely better than what came before, that’s admirable …. But this base is often so low in terms of being “hands on” that changing the odd nappy and spending some time playing every now and again is seen as a big step up.

There is also this feeling that somehow paid work is more important or harder than parenting work. Which is absolute nonsense for most jobs. “It’s my day off!” “I’ve finished work I want to relax” - Sorry but no, when you get home it’s now time to 50/50 parent at the very least. (Edit: somehow this view doesn’t reflect when Mum is also a working…. Dad needs a break as he’s finished work… but Mum doesn’t get a break when finishing work and has to go straight into parenting)

Of course there are exceptions as long as both parents have really good communication and discuss what works for them and are both genuinely happy with the arrangement.

This doesn’t reflect every situation and every Dad… I have Dad friends who are great and absolutely true 50/50 parents… but most that I know do sadly fall into what I’ve described.

Society in general needs to be promoting positive role models for what fatherhood should be and stop with the bumbling idiot dad who’s only role is to “bring home the bacon” which is so outdated and generally harmful. We need that base line of being a good Dad to be higher… Basically we need more Bandits.

I would argue though that if “Dads want to do more caretaking” they absolutely can. The barriers for Dads are much, much lower than the other side of the coin “Mums want to have a career”.

What is unnecessary gendered?

I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can’t even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what’s between their legs.

Schedar,

Baby, toddler & kids clothes…

Obviously neutral clothes: vests, t-shirts, shorts, trousers etc are grouped so often grouped into boy/girl - makes absolutely no sense.
