  • Hate to put it this way but my read is in ten years you and that kid are going to be pretty close and I kind of doubt you’ll still be with your SO.

    Kind-of-not-caring-that-much is a pretty normal dad thing like others have stated. You show up, you be yourself, you do what you gotta do, there’s no single “clouds open up and your entire brain floods with dopamine and seratonin while angels sing YOU’RE A DAD YOU’RE A DAD” moment.

    But the fact that you can just be kind of normal turns out the be one of the things your kid likes about you. They start following you around or spending time with you to get some time away from Mom. They bring you little problems and you get to teach them things about the world.

    And then you blink and they’re a teenager and suddenly they’re too cool to say “I love you Daddy” anymore and you aren’t prepared for how much that hurts.

    So anyway that’s how it happens. Btw for what it’s worth, I don’t think it was just tiktok brainrot that gave your SO rose colored glasses about parenthood: evolutionary biology has its own ways to compel women to want to have babies just like it has its own ways to compel men to go along with it. That’s… why we’re all here.


  • My kid loves roblox because its controls are pretty much completely ideal for her ipad and apple pencil

    Roblox is entirely unplayable to me because its control schemes inevitably break all my millennial expectations and I don’t have great internet connectivity at home anymore. It hurts me and makes me angry, lol. ANY game that properly works with an Xbox controller is superior for my personal experience because of decades of that paradigm. Touchscreen controls are death and other control schemes are second class citizens in the modern landscape





  • How do people manage to invent intricate phrases?

    It seems like nowadays no matter what you do there’s a word for it and it’s probably considered something horrible by someone somewhere.

    For the set of all things, there is usually someone who doesn’t like said thing, yes. That is how people and things tend to work, since there are so many people and so many things.

    The tone of this post makes me think you did something shady lately and you’re laughing off getting called out. And who’s unironically saying ‘kts’ in 2025? Cringe
