Pain of Mind posted:Does the 40 hour work week work for two working parents? It feels like every weekend is spent cleaning. It ain't easy, I'll tell you that much! I have a job that's light on meetings and micromanagement, and my wife is self-employed so she largely sets her own schedule. We honestly couldn't have had a kid without the exact working situation that we have now, and even then we're struggling in some spots (namely not having enough spare cash each month for childcare). I can't imagine how people worse off than us get it done, unless they have idle family around. It's hosed and they deserve better! E: We've also spent the last three hours cleaning and doing other miscellaneous housework, heh. Definitely should have taken more time over this break to do that but it's nice to have done what we did!

Blowjob Overtime posted:I cannot imagine the life of two full-time working parents. We're DINKs and my wife works 60 hours every two weeks, which is only five 12-hour shifts in 14 days, and I still feel like we aren't keeping up on a lot of responsible adult stuff. I suppose the time I spend getting high and playing video games while she's working could probably be used more responsibly, but that's what I look forward to during the soul crushing workdays! You quickly figure out what's important to you, and the rest slowly falls by the wayside. As our kid has gotten older and become more active I've made sure to keep time set aside for running and the occasional bout of weights, and let other stuff like my on-and-off gaming hobbies slow down or stop entirely. Now if only the kid was less involved, I could actually take the time to inventory and sell some stuff for the hobbies that I'm OK with giving up

EmbryoSteve posted:Most of the time that 45 mins to 1 hour I am too fried to play any games and just drink a protein shake and watch my 55 gal community planted tank while zoning out on my phone. This is huge. By the time our kid is down for the night and the dinner chaos cleaned up, we're both fried and it takes an hour of zoning out for us to actually want to do anything specific on the night. Though I'm making a conscious effort to do less mindless forums and Discord scrolling this year.

T-Square posted:I assume most of these dudes probably ignore the dozens and dozens of switches and toggles and gauges and think you can just grab the throttle slider thingies and “steering wheel” and control a whole rear end airliner? (but maybe you can idk, I definitely don’t think I could land one that’s for sure) I imagine that air traffic control operators are at least trained to be able to talk a stranger through landing a plane, the way 911 operators can talk someone through giving CPR while trained first responders go to their location. Now, whether or not a random airplane passenger can execute on those instructions is an entirely different story.

Right there with you, with the bonus of my kid really enjoying headbutting us when we put him in bed with us.

A beer on Friday night and Saturday is just enough for me. Too much else going on in my life right now to drink much more than that and we're not really social enough to drink a lot with friends (we weren't really pre-COVID either, to be fair). The previous owners of our house actually have a four-seat bar built in next to the kitchen and even left a mini-fridge behind when we bought the place. Our realtor also gave us a cocktail shaker kit and drink recipe book and housewarming gifts, and they've gone completely unused. I wanted to have at least one party with the bar in place before we rip it out but at this point I doubt that happens.harperdc posted:Nine month sleep regression continues on. I’ve been up for two and a half hours and it’s almost 5 am. The little one is like a wound-up toy as soon as I put her into her crib, it’s absurd. Right there with you bud. I'm at least finally making headway on getting our basement in a state where my wife can use it as an office and we can put baby into his own room. If I figure out how to get our guy to sleep through the night again I'll let you know

I truly believe that "the dream job" doesn't exist in certain industries or lines of work unless you actively create it. Like a guy with whom I was in high school band ended up as a sound engineer working for the big movie studios in LA, says that's his dream job, that's really awesome! Nobody is dreaming of being a middle manager, or running a hedge fund, or doing most other "desk jockey" types of jobs. The best you can do in those cases is tolerate what you're doing and try to figure out ways to make it your own, either by pushing the job you have in the direction that you want or finding something/somewhere that does allow for it.

I guess you could be forgiven for not remembering the McDonald's Szechuan sauce craze from a few years back, there's been a lot of news to absorb over the last several years. Also my understanding is that it's one of those shows where a distressingly high % of the population identifies with the character who is supposed to be anything but an aspirational example, a la Walter White in Breaking Bad. I tried watching it a few years ago but wasn't feeling anything after the first two episodes

Don't forget the NBA getting ready to go on strike in response to the increasing fervor of BLM protests that summer, and Obama stepping in and talking them out of it.seiferguy posted:There was so much pro-police propaganda through the form of those extremely racist commercials that aired during the world series about an increase in crime, a bunch of dipshit op-eds from major newspapers about how bad it is to defund the police. It works on Gen X and boomers, maybe less so on Millennials and zoomers. I've gotten a couple of fliers for the same Dem candidate in our upcoming mayoral election here in Philly, and the top item on his list of promises is "end the culture of lawlessness that is wreaking havoc on our city". I assume that's just coded speak for putting more money into the Philly PD Fortunately there's a pretty hard leftist running for city controller which has a hand in the city's budget, I hope she wins.

I wonder which IP will be the one that sends the revival/reboot/rehash trend in TV and film back to hell where it belongs, or if it will merely be a casualty of the larger streaming media collapse that people keep warning about. Like I saw last week that there's an upcoming (maybe even available now?) reboot of the early 90s Power Rangers run, like who the gently caress was asking for that?
