You should study what makes you defensive. The topic you avoid, the joke that irritates you, the question that feels insulting, the feedback you instantly reject. Defensiveness is usually the guard dog sitting in front of a weakness you have not trained yourself to face.

Reminder for all young parents:

You only get:
- 1 Summer with your baby
- 3 with your toddler
- 9 with your child
- 5 with your teenager

This time is precious. Don’t rush it.

Saw a man at church with work boots, sunburned arms, and three kids climbing him like a rock wall. His wife looked at him like he hung the moon. That man has more status than every rented Lambo larper on the internet.

Rarely do I take an over the counter supplement and actually feel it working. I will say that L-Theanine is an exception. I'm pretty high strung. I'm someone who would legitimately benefit from a benzo prescription, but honestly I've seen what they do to people, so I won't take them. This mellows me out. It makes me feel like I took a lower dose Ativan, but no drowsiness or foggienes. I don't feel high or not alert, I just feel calm every day. Not sedated at all, just not stressed or anxious.

I take 200mg in the morning and 200mg at night. Legitimately my favorite OTC supplement I've ever taken. Totally worth the money.

In low trust environments, be polite and cordial, yet brief. Minimise attack surface: share little personal information. Ignore provocations and be unprovocative. Be unopinionated. Express uncertainty when pressed. Do not emote. Avoid attachments. You are there, but not present.

@TheLaurenChen If you don't have the right to live with your own people minding your business then rights are meaningless.

We'll fight this until our freedom of association is guaranteed.

Nearly every boy is ready for more responsibility than you are currently giving him.

"He's not ready" almost always means "I haven't started preparing him." Readiness is built intentionally. It's not something that just happens with age.

Your son will rise to whatever you ask of him. Equip him, encourage him, then ask for more.

Traveling while you're a child is something you hold on to forever. I remember every trip we took. We weren't rich, so we weren't renting out private islands, but even short weekend vacations to the beach are memorable. All of my best memories are family vacations.

If you can afford it, take the kids on vacations. Even cheap weekend ones. Have them help you pack, get them excited and make a big deal about them. They're going to remember them forever and that's something priceless.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

It is nearly an impossible task to convey just how amazing kids are to someone who doesn’t have any.

The best way I can describe it is this:

You spend your whole life thinking you understand love.

Then one night, you’ll find yourself standing in a room at 2 a.m., just watching your newborn baby breathe, just to make sure they are still alive.

And you realize in that moment that you would burn the entire world to the ground for the slow rise and fall of that tiny chest.

You become braver and absolutely terrified at the same time.

You start looking for exits in restaurants and worrying about that weird stranger in the parking lot.

You discover a capacity for anger and violence you never knew lived in you until you think you might need it because someone might hurt your kid.

The first time you see your kid, the entire world changes.

You realize you are meant to live for them… not for you.

And it feels good. It feels right.

Like a key to a door you have always been looking at but could never open.

And one ordinary afternoon probably while you’re folding socks or something dumb, it will hit you…

This is how your parents loved you.

This is what she felt watching you sleep.
This is what your dad felt every time he watched you walk out the door.

And you had no idea.

You spent your entire childhood with no idea.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It’s so beautiful, words fail to describe it.

It’s just right, it was always meant to be this way. ❤️

[The Driven Man @Thedrivenman]

Your children always wanting to be in your room, in your space, or just near you is really a sign that they feel safe with you. They love your presence, your energy, and the comfort of the home you created for them. That's not something to take lightly. Job well done.

Underrated life advice: Make yourself easy to root for. Be kind. Be reliable. Celebrate other people’s wins. Work hard without complaining. Carry good energy into rooms. You'll be shocked by how many doors open for you by making life better for others.

[Rook ✝️ @41KOOR]

A few expectations that I expressed to my wife while we were dating.

1) No arguments in public.

2) No degrading speech about the other, publicly or privately.

3) Publicly defer to me in an honorable manner (even in disagreement), and if you deem the matter to be important, bring it to light in private.

4) I demand and ensure you are treated with honor by all who interact with you. Zero tolerance policy.

I've never found a windshield wiper setting that truly satisfied me.

[Paul Templeton @Paul__Templeton]

Let me speak plainly.

The managerial state has no right to demand “social cohesion” from a people it has deliberately replaced.

You cannot flood a nation with millions of outsiders, destroy its identity, and then lecture the original population about “cohesion.”

This is not a social policy.

This is demographic conquest disguised as governance.

I owe this system nothing.

No loyalty.

No compliance.

No respect.
