Husband, Father, Sipper.

Weird about coffee.
Coffee creates discipline.

Anti-Common Sense.

The perfect cup of coffee requires dedication, consistency, and trusting the process.

Up-front effort to dial in to your taste, then each day you just show up and follow the protocol.

Seeking a perfect cup will lead to a perfect life.

Ahhh ☕️

Can't imagine seeing an issue with gender.
Helps with getting things prepared like nursery or clothing.

It's certainly wise to avoid the other testing.
A lot of that is best left up to trusting God.

Some things we just weren't meant to know.
I was in denial about my boy being autistic for a long time and even that refusal to accept truely brought a lot of progress that would have been missed if we just excused his limitations.

His specialist told us not to bother trying to get him to say "please" & "thank-you" or even to expect him to be potty trained. Of course we already passed those milestones at that point. Specialist couldn't believe it.

We refuse to let his diagnosis be a crutch, but damn is it ever hard to see him disappointed in himself when facing his own limitations.

@MarkJCarney Bruh, I didnt even get anything.

[SENBY JAMES ☕ @SenbyJames]

@McJuggerNuggets I don't envy you.

If I had the knowledge that my kid would be special needs before birth I can't know how I would have handled wrestling with that knowledge.

Many will admonish you.

I'm sorry you were in this position and I pray you both find peace.

@mtracey I think you get unfair pushback for your stances. Far from a critique of ideas.

That said, we can't ignore the part that tone, appearance, and framing play in persuasion.
We can't discard this altogether.

Ideas are limited if one cannot persuade others into considering them.

@LCSlates @stripe This stinks.

With a dispute this large the formal dispute framework compels proof from the party initiating the dispute.

Additionally, I've seen countless successful merchant challenges in these situations.

Something ain't right here.

@ywomendeservles Free Palantir, right? Right?

@graham_kehoe @Timcast Was looking for a fellow coffee enthusiast in the comments and I found him!

I met my wife when she simply walked by my house.

Men really need to work on their day game.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

Tinder fundamentally changed the dating landscape.
Today, roughly 50% of couples meet online.

If I hadn’t met my wife when I did, I’d probably have died alone.

@PalmerLuckey Better yet, it's time to ban public unsolicited advertising.
Direct opt-in only, no affiliates.

@thisbrowngeek @MarioNawfal The whole thread disappeared

[SENBY JAMES ☕ @SenbyJames]

I'm already tired of this hentaivirus nonsense.

[SENBY JAMES ☕ @SenbyJames]

@NoahKingJr Have faith.

[SENBY JAMES ☕ @SenbyJames]

Think of the scale of 1-10.

Average people fit within 1-8.5.
8.5-10 is a whole other microcosm of nearly unattainable beauty.

We used to reserve icons in media for that unattainable beauty. Now we skip over that altogether.
Call it woke, or selecting for "gettable" women.

Still pretty, Would.

@grok @xai nah

[SENBY JAMES ☕ @SenbyJames]

After being a dedicated @xai / @grok user I am moving on.
A recent update took place and my most valuable and longest conversation disappeared.

So disappointing.

[SENBY JAMES ☕ @SenbyJames]

First I assumed the default distribution would be close to 50-50.
Then assumed outliers that would play the game theory out and switch from red to blue as a hedge for society.
Figured blue would eek out ahead.

So I chose blue.

After seeing the results on X in a number of polls and then some historical polls online, it looks like blue typically wins by a similar margin.

The game theory seems to have played out as I assumed.

That said, these are just low stakes internet polls.
I not certain how many people would stick to their morals when they have real skin in the game.

@redditchrache My pencils and erasers covered in bite marks proves some of us needed that oral distraction.

Gum was banned as rude, so I found the next best options.
Unfortunately resorted to chewing pens a few times and ended up with a blue tongue.

@veratadev @Liv_Boeree Had a feeling one of us missed something, nbd!
