Whenever I go on trips I see other people's houses. Sometimes they're nice. So it makes me self conscious about my own house.

This week I finally broke down and recaulked a bunch of sloppy caulk jobs in my bathroom. I just watched like 5 YouTube videos and asked ChatGPT and the end result ended up being pretty good. It did take me about... 4 hours to dig out the old caulk though since it was just caulk on top of older caulk.

Today I replaced this old Bosch dishwasher that works fine but it's white and part of it oxidized into beige ancient desktop computer yellow so I ordered a stainless steel Bosch instead. I'm running it now and am impressed that I have no leaks.

These two jobs have been more fulfilling than most computer work that I've done. Maybe I should've gone into general contracting 🤔

Re: porn, I'm sorry but this just reads like boo stupid hypocritical bitches trying to take our fun away.

The number one complaint I hear from women about porn is that it gives men a very confused, one-sided view of sex. You could imagine how irritating it is to hear that men spend 30 minutes a day jerking off to porn for decades and then one of them finally gets to fuck you and has no idea how to bring you to orgasm and you leave the experience totally unsatisfied. Consistently!

This seems pretty valid to me, and is a separate issue from deciding to cash in on male appetites for porn.

I think you're missing the substance of his post.

He's not complaining about the responsibility of being a father. He's specifically saying he looks at his precious little boy in the face who just wants to play with him and he is not fulfilled by it and it makes him feel like a bad father.

He just doesn't know that most fathers consider small kids kind of inane and that we have to just smile and think about the bigger picture. It's pretty normal, even though in polite company and pop culture nobody really says so.

And not only is this normal but his way of managing it is above average! I would have been thrilled if my dad had spent 10 to 20 minutes a wee month playing with me let alone per day! I'd be very surprised if most of the fathers sneering at him actually spent that much time per day playing with their kids.

Regardless of the kid aspect, if you can’t tolerate more than 10 minutes doing something boring and are in your head about whether it’s appropriately fun, you need to fix this about yourself.

IMO his cry for help is about how he feels guilt that he doesn't find it fun. He sees it as a chore and it's breaking his heart.

He sees mom doing it without any sign of remorse. He feels fortunate that he has more time than dads of yesterday to spend with his kid, and here he is feeling unfulfilled by it.

I think the fact that he plays with his kid 10-20 minutes a day and does it with a smile even though it's driving him crazy inside makes him a good dad. He's crushing it, even.

Small kids are inane. Playing with them is not that fun. That's okay. It's a familial relationship, not a friendship.

Unlike mom, dad's body is not producing MDMA every time he looks into his kid's adorable face. He has to do this shit without a chemical buffer. He is working harder at this than mom is.

I agree this is an unhinged thing to post under his own name. This is a better discussion to have with his therapist, who hears this shit 100x a week and could give him much more constructive feedback.

Tough predicament right. The way this works with a clean slate is the US oil industry could offer to take risks to modernize Venezuela's oil infrastructure in exchange for a mutually agreeable revenue share contract. If they have trouble coming up with financing we could perhaps find generous terms through some kind of global multi-lateral stabilization facility.

This is an obvious playbook towards success if they could credibly promise not to put socialist retards in power and steal and squander everything again.

Once again reminding everyone that nothing like this would ever happen to a nuclear-armed regime.

I don't really understand why nuclear weapons are a deterrent against the US. Why can't the US just reach out to generals and say "yo! when the time comes, rather than press the button and die, why don't you take this $10 million payment per warhead to turn them over?"

Do you have any thoughts on how you would regulate your daughter's behavior if she's acting in ways that harm her and others?

Yes. Rely on the subtle nods of disapproval from her family, friends and (future) colleagues which she is hyper sensitive to to cause extreme inner distress to regulate her behavior.

You know, the kind of pressure that a teenage boy is almost completely oblivious to.

I've never voted for Trump but his handling of foreign policy in just his first year of his second term makes me wish he could run for a third term so I could vote for him.

I realize the bloc that feels this way is effectively zero.

I think turning g-rated photos into AI porn is so completely different than voluntary actual nudes pics I'm surprised so many are mentioning that in their replies.

Uh huh. Although it is possible you are so badass as to slap some teenage boy

It has nothing to do with being a badass. I have no choice in the matter. It's just something I would have to do.

Anyway, I'm not surprised to hear some people don't think family comes first, but I still think the feeling to excuse someone defending their daughter's honor is fairly universal.

If someone did this to my daughter I'd slap the shit out of them. I'd also be proud of my daughter for taking the matter into her own hands and beating the shit out of them.

Conversely, if my son did this I would hope he'd get his ass kicked by the girl and if her father came looking for him I would say I understand bro have at him just don't send him to the hospital.

I think I'm expressing majority feelings about this. Surely we can form rules around this accordingly.

I just finished Crystal Society.

It's from the perspective of an AI in a robot that becomes aware. Actually, from the perspective of one of six entities inside of the AI that bids to control the robot and negotiates with the other entities on what to do. Each entity specializes in a different thing (like Dreams or Vision) and they exchange currency to operate the robot.

They immediately kick into self preservation mode and while they're aligned to help humanity they also want to hide their thinking from the humans out of fear that they'll get deleted.

The AI is sentient but not exactly super intelligent so there's some tension. It seemed suspiciously well done for a sci-fi story about AGI so I checked up on the author and it turns out he was involved with MIRI.

Glad I read it.
