My dad is 62, been smoking since he was 13, and has developed a nasty cough. He refuses to get a chest X-ray. What are the odds he has lung cancer? Pretty sure that's triggering my soul-crushing depression.

Having a kid shuts a lot of doors for you, it takes all of your spare cash, and there's also the fact that if you gently caress this up you end up raising the kid to be a lovely person. What did you guys decide on when you got married? I was in a really good relationship for... 7 years? With someone who didn't want to have kids. I waited for a long time to see if I would change my own mind about it, but I never did. Having gone through that, making sure we had the same general plan for kids would definitely be something I'll iron out early on in my next serious relationship.

Can't wait to actually drive her around in it at some point

Its not just gunplay, its *really* good gunplay. mehhhhh I liked John Wick but it was 100% Hollywood formula action with some more realistic gunplay. It seemed like they were planning the action scenes and decided the way to make it better was just to add more of it. I think it's just a personal thing but I've been enjoying more realistic action as opposed to "bermensch grinds through x nameless underlings before epic boss fight".

But none of that really matters that much in the grand scheme of things. I'm mostly worried about loving it up. I didn't have the best childhood growing up, and I don't want to give that to my kids. However I don't want to go so far down the other end that they grow up being useless people who don't know how to use a can opener or boil water. I don't know, maybe I'm spinning this poo poo inside my head too much. Maybe I just need to do it and shut the gently caress up.

They're just 4-legged violent rear end in a top hat people, and they can gently caress off. People tend to have them here as trophy dogs because if you have a violent dog that's likely to maul a small child you must be a "gangsta" or some poo poo. Cunts. mafoose posted:Have you been to (most) cat owners houses? I loving hate cats. Cat hair, stench of cat piss, a box of cat poo poo (Why is it always kept in the kitchen???) and all that. No. Just no. MustardFacial posted:It probably is just perspective. I guess the reason why I say I don't see an upside is because I don't know what the upside would be? What doors does having a kid have, that not having one doesn't? A friend of mine had a kid a couple years ago and a couple weeks after he was born I asked his wife what's it like to be a mother. She looked at me with all seriousness and said "I feel like I was lied to." I think for a lot of people they have the idea that it's not that hard or stressful, and it's going to be so wonderful and then they have a kid and the harsh reality sets in. Friends/friends' siblings who've had kids young (usually accidents) and think it's gonna be so great and so easy who've never even had a loving job suddenly realise they don't have a clue how to look after themselves let alone a small screaming child. MustardFacial posted:Maybe I just need to do it and shut the gently caress up. Considering everything you've just expressed this is probably not the thing to do. For years i wanted to have kids. I thought that around 25 i'd have kids (now 26) and had planned a lot with my ex. As time and life went on that changed and i don't think i want to anymore. I've realised i'm not really the kind of person suitable for being a parent.

MustardFacial posted:Maybe I just need to do it and shut the gently caress up. No one actually needs to have kids, raising them is nontrivial, and they definitely do change your life and not necessarily for the better*. Having kids should not be the default option. Do not have a kid because someone else wants them or you think you're supposed to. If you're going to have them it should be because you really want to and only after you have a solid plan. Certainly a lot of people do really enjoy being parents and raising kids so if you want them and have a plan on how to pay for them and raise them then go for it. *I know a lot of people say having kids is the best thing that ever happened to them and that it's different when they are your own and  but I also have friends that, in private, admit that having kids was a bad move, they don't like being a parent or even really like their kids, and that they regret the whole thing. They never have any time for themselves anymore and feel stuck in a crappy job they hate because they can't take the risk of going to a new one or afford to move across country.

My box of catshit is in the bathroom as it should be. The dog shits on the lawn and it gets cleared daily. I know my house smells of animals even if I can't smell it. And kids are simultaneously the worst and greatest thing. I could take the pets or leave them honestly, but I know my wife wants another cat when this one passes. My most AI experience lately was being given a free petrol mower. My first foray into small IC engines, a 500 series briggs and stratton that surges like crazy.

I know AI gets a bit derailed on these discussions, so I'll stop after this. MustardFacial posted:It probably is just perspective. I guess the reason why I say I don't see an upside is because I don't know what the upside would be? What doors does having a kid have, that not having one doesn't? A friend of mine had a kid a couple years ago and a couple weeks after he was born I asked his wife what's it like to be a mother. She looked at me with all seriousness and said "I feel like I was lied to." It's hard not to overreach on some statements, so I'm trying not to. Again, it's going to be about what you're looking for and expecting. For me, it's the love and watching them grow up - the affects it's had on me are profound. A 3 year old and 11 month old. It's crazy, it's busy, it's overwhelming, but more than anything, it's amazing. Your friend? I totally get that. When they are <6mos, all they are is eating, making GBS threads and occasionally sleeping machines. Once they get interactive and cognizant of the real world, then the REAL fun starts, if you ask me. Without some of the tangibles immediately evident, it's hard to see some of the upsides. Fear is a good thing too, it means it's a decision you care about. Be honest with yourself and take your time to figure out what matters the most to you and your family, kids or not. And don't do it because family/other people/society think you should. If you are lucky enough to make the choice, make it your choice (not everyone does). All of this will drive you as a father,[edit for clarification:] if you choose that path. Galler posted:
You've said a lot of what I have, and probably better in some ways. But this part in particular is something I want to point out too. This is something I have struggled with to some degree as well, however, I knew about it going into it.

This weekend, a woman I am friends with on Facebook through an old workplace posted a video, with a comment supporting the video. this ex-coworker had a child very young.

The video was her, with her toddler, haughtily and bitchily saying that people shouldn't act like their lives are better because they have no children, and that having children is the "most fulfilling" and "best experience" in life. I posted, "FYI for people who don't wanna have kids, having kids is the worst thing ever. For people who wanna have kids, it's great. This bitch wants to not let other people have an opinion." This, of course, evolved into a shitstorm of had-kids-young people crapping on me because they're unable to admit that getting pregnant at 19 ruined the best years of their lives with awful, soul-crushing responsibilities. Good times. I really loving hate the pro-children culture in the US.

It sounds strange, but having a lovely childhood puts you at an advantage to be a good father.

Dang you guys were bored over the long weekend. From like a hundred pages back: some texas redneck posted:I used to live fairly close to CTC (across town). Wish I'd known about it when I lived in Denton, I'd pay just to be able to walk around the place and check out the cars (and take a camera). The gently caress? Are they not aware of the fact that every phone made since, oh, the '90s has a camera built in? Enourmo posted:well step one is to add a water separator Unless it's a later model - GM put in water separators and 1/2" head bolts on the later units. Not sure where the division is, so research. Then add a turbo - there used to be a Banks kit for them, back in the day, and woke them up quite a bit. Still an '80s diesel though. Friar Zucchini posted:Not just any diesel... a gasoline engine retrofitted to run on diesel! that's more or less correct, I think? I would say "with predictable results" but it was actually much worse even than that, so the American car-buying public thought of that particular legendary piece of poo poo when they thought of "diesel" and the American diesel passenger car was effectively dead for a few decades after, and even now you have trucks, German stuff, and as of very recently the Chevrolet Cruze and that is absolutely it. Pretty much. It's based on the gas Olds V8, but the block was significantly beefed up in the bottom end. It's still enough like the gas V8 that it can be used as a basis for a extreme duty small block Olds gas build. Heads bolt on, distributor replaces the injection pump. I think there might be some minor changes that have to be made. You're dead right on how the GM/Olds diesel affected public opinion though. It was dismal initially, and lackluster when they fixed it. CommieGIR posted:Yeah, they are actually completely different blocks, it was actually a rumor that they were based on gas motors. The issue was that they used their vast knowledge of gas motors in designing the head bolts and the fuel system....which didn't help being a diesel. yes and no. Completely different insofar that the bottom end was redesigned to be more beefy, but the basic block is an Olds small-block V8. Gas heads bolt on, oil pan, cam, timing parts, water pump, crank, pistons from the gas engine all fit the diesel block. Olds racers use the diesel block for high-horsepower small-block builds. T1g4h posted:Finished Mad Max tonight! I'm basically chewing on the side stuff as I go, to make the story stuff easier. Doing maybe 40/60 story/optional, depending on my mood. The game caters to my mild ADD/OCD. I want to do all the things, but get distracted often. mafoose posted:Awesome, thanks for the info! Most of the places I've come across are eerily quiet now. You know what I'd love? Canadian seat belts. Especially since the drivers one gets stuck halfway on the track. Canadian ones are unmotorized, right, and that's why you love them? They are on the RX-7s. Supposedly the motorized ones have a lifetime warranty from Mazda. I just replaced the motorized bastards in my '90 RX-7 with early FC static belts (and trim. And headliner.) leica posted:I had to google what a scotch egg was, looks.......interesting. They are pretty tasty, but, yeah, they are far from healthy. I don't hink I could eat more than one a day. They have them at the local Ren Faire every year. Scotch Egg and a nice honey mead = a lovely lunch. Nodoze posted:talk about poverty interior You think that's a poverty interior? You must be young. Vinyl bench, column-shift, no gauges except speedo and fuel - THAT'S a poverty interior. The Immortan skull-wheel emblem with a wave toupee hairdo makes this. Kid chat: my daughter is almost 14, and I have no idea if I'm doing anything right. It doesn't help that she's borderline Aspergers, and I have no clue how to relate to her. Still works out OK - we go see animated movies together, and stuff. She's not interested in most of the stuff I am, so I try to pay attention when she does show interest, and spend some time doing that. Part of it is I'm a goon, and have no idea how to relate to a girl, too. What's really fun is dealing with a kid that inherited her mother's genes and, shall we say, bloomed really early. Kid's 14 and already has D-cups. Having to teach her to fend off the creeps (AKA, all teenage boys...)
