@SBTradez87@SlumRNA_Dog He'd get a hand-me-down real estate business from his daddy, fuck it up and then grift on church crowds just like he did the first time
His pre-Long Night rendition of Jenny of Oldstones, heraldic knowledge, fierce loyalty and clutch support make it clear. Podrick is the only leveled Bard in the GoT show and the ladies were simply showing professional courtesy.
Here is the Great Secret of being a dad. Moms love the kids when they're tiny and cute. Moms start to be sad when the babies start walking, because "they're not a baby anymore". You, as the dad, probably think the baby is fine, but as dad you get MORE invested in the baby the older it gets.
A baby can't do much. But a toddler can roll a ball to you, be chased around the yard, and jump on you giggling for a tickle.
A grammar-school child can play tag, or hide-and-seek, or go swimming.
Tweens start LIKING the museum instead of just running down the halls. I took 4 tween grandkids bowling last week and it was a blast. They were laughing cheering each other on. Worst bowlers ever but they had gutter bumpers.
Teenagers of course start pulling away, but if you keep a connection by this point they're doing things you like to do. They'll run cross-country, play pickleball, board games, maybe watch your kind of movies.
The older the kids get, the less you have obnoxious chores such as bathing them, changing diapers, cleaning up vomit. In fact you can start making THEM do chores. "It builds character!" They start to laugh at your jokes. Even better, they start to groan at your dad jokes. It's win-win!
Every year the kids get cooler and more fun to be around as a dad. And the fun never stops. I now have kids in their 40s and they are STILL fun to hang out with. Even better, now they have income of their own and they can treat ME to a steak dinner.
Also, the kids have kids of their own - Grandkids!! Grandkids give you all the advantages of kids with zero disadvantages. Grandkid having a tantrum? Diaper filled with Chernobyl-level waste? Hand the baby back to mom. It's their problem. MY job is to spoil them and fill them with sugar.
I have grandkids in their teens, and of course they now are distancing themselves from their mom & dad. You know what's neat - even the surliest teen still loves grandpa & grandma. We get to skip the whole "rebellious teen" thing.
Don't let anyone tell you that having children is a drag. Yes maybe in the very earliest stages as a tiny baby as a dad. But every month makes them more and more awesome.
GROAN: Jeff Bridges went on Jimmy Kimmel's show to promote Disney's new Tron slop — then, at Kimmel's request, got into his Big Lebowski character "The Dude" to deliver cringey lines like "Let's get ICE off our streets and into our beverages"
She has killed and eaten 27 people, 19 of which were children, and you’ve been tasked to hunt her down. You’ve got her treed with your rifle aimed and she looks at you like this. Could you do it?
@couturerob I've mulled over this same problem. There is a fine line that can be crossed which makes interaction with these things resemble prayer. Scary stuff
@couturerob I tried to sit out of the home garden rat race this year only for a massive pumpkin plant to pop up right off of the front porch. My curiosity has me mowing around it for now.
Since he doesn't want to deal in the hypothetical the guy should have asked, "If you had gained great wealth and fame from teaching self control, would you conceal a substance addiction to the point of endangering your life with experimental treatment?"
Is he really this stupid or is he too afraid of being pinned down by a moral paradox? Either way, he wouldn’t make it through an Intro to Philosophy classes
