  • My boys spend most of their day outside in the field doing various farm chores and absolutely love it. I have to drag them in for dinner most days. My 4 year old has his own hand saw and can pretty accurately measure and cut boards for me while practicing better safety protocols than I’ve seen on most job sites, he learned addition and subtraction by counting how many eggs we get a day which he made one of his daily chores, I had to cut the arms down on a post hole digger and add new handles because we were planting a bunch of trees a few weeks ago and he wanted to be the one to dig all the holes. My 2 year old is always right behind him usually covered in dirt having a ball. I think it’s fine if my 4 year old asks to play a bubble pop game every couple weeks or my 2 year old pretends to be on the phone with his grandma a couple times a week. They won’t even stay inside long enough to watch a whole movie before getting bored.


  • It’s easy to switch profiles if you know where to look, but tricky enough that my kids can’t to it. It’s just a small icon when you pull the topbar all the down. It’s pretty quick too.

    Apps are completely separate. I have some apps I use for work and personal stuff installed separately on different profiles and there’s no data exchanged or leakage.

    As far as I can tell they might as well be 2 separate phones.

    I’m also on Grapheme OS so I’m not sure if there’s any difference on stock android but I’d assume it’s the same/similar.









  • I’ve only known them a couple years, but I think he wasn’t always like this. From what I hear he was a pretty cool guy back in the day, weird, but cool. Nowadays he watches YouTube shorts all day and complains about how everyone’s being brainwashed on tick tok. So I think he thinks he’s a free thinker while actively being brainwashed by the same thing he thinks he’s avoiding.

    At the same time for someone to be so heavy into so many awful opinions they had to have always been there. Maybe he just hid them before but feels like he can openly talk about stuff because of the state of the current world.


  • They do… And I really don’t like to talk bad about children because it almost always comes down to the parenting, but they were some of the most miserable, rude children I’ve ever encountered. They were awful to my toddler in so many ways.

    To be fair they’re both girls and they had to hear their dad go on a 20 minute rant about how all women should quit the workforce and stay at home continuously popping out as many babies as they can because they’re less capable than men but more nurturing. That started from me saying “a single income household should become achievable again”.

    For a little more context that no one asked for but I think adds to it: his wife is a full on doctor, hard working, comes home and takes care of the kids and the house, and is an actual person.


  • I had a coworker over the other day because my wife loves his wife.

    At one point he’s telling me that they’re coming out with AI sex robots that can do EVERYTHING and he’s going into detail like he read the spec sheet and got excited. He’s telling us how it will be the end of humanity because all men are going to divorce their wives, ditch their girlfriends and stop dating because they’re just going to be fucking robots.

    I said I don’t see that happening on a large scale. I’m sure some guys will, but I doubt anyone who’s going to give up women to fuck robots would have been procreating anyway and we probably wouldn’t lose out on much in the gene pool. His wife started cracking up and agreeing with me, calling these guys freaks, and my coworker got real quiet and sulked into his chair.

    So I know at least 1 person who would love to go to a robot strip club.




    1. My now wife and I had a shared checking account before we were engaged. We lived together and had shared bills, so we would both just put what we could into the shared account and pay the rent and utilities from there.

    2. My wife’s ring is moissanite and cost like $900 at the time, she still pretty consistently gets compliments on it. I spent what I “saved” by avoiding a diamond on a down payment on a house back when that wasn’t 100k.

    3. I didn’t have a savings account until my wife and I fully combined our finances. My checking was my savings. I’m not a big spender so it was never a problem.

    4. I got nothing here.
