If they're too bitter for consumption, they can probably be composted and used in a garden. Either way, we'll get a rich meal.

As far as having a personality and sense of empathy? Absolutely. I also like knowing that people love me for who I am, rather than because I'd have money.

But to not have to worry about affording the roof over my head would be pretty nice.

In our one-bedroom apartments that we still struggle to afford. Not sure how we'll be able to take care of them full time when we're also still working full time.

And people think we can afford to save for our own retirements. Lol.

At today’s prices, a family would need to earn $126,700 a year to afford monthly payments on an average home purchased in 2024, up from $79,300 annually in 2021, according to a report from the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies.

We are so screwed.

Is that really his name? Infantino? Like "infant," but with the diminutive -ino, making it more like "little infant"?

At first I thought that was a new nickname for Trump.

Agreed. The way people act today makes everything before seem purely performative. I’m not terribly surprised that certain family members drank the kool-aid, but to know what became of the same people who held me on the day of my baptism is scary.

I’d like to second getting involved with a group. I found a volunteer organization that’s independent of the government (legally, 100% volunteer-funded) that focuses on directly helping the lowest paid workers. I spend time learning, teaching, reaching out to people who either might need help or want to provide help, and doing miscellaneous things around the center to keep it going (like typing up paperwork.) Small things here and there add up, and even though the world is still burning, at the very least I can see the difference when somebody gets food for their family or their power returned after a shut-off. I feel a little bit better at the end of the day knowing I helped somebody.

And yet people deny that we’re decended from the same lineage. If humans didn’t wear clothes, I guarantee some kid would start a grass-in-the-butt trend too.

having the things we could never have when we were young

This is why I went through a period of collecting multi-cultural dolls in my 20s. When I was a kid and asked my mom for a black Barbie, she got weird about it and made me feel very uncomfortable. All over wanting a doll that wasn’t white. Fuck that noise, my Barbies span the human rainbow now.

True, any gathering of current or former “theatre kids” is going to be weird. But that’s what makes them so fun. (Unless you hate show tunes. Then you’re in for a bad time.)

Maybe HOA members need to be introduced to kink. There’s a safe way to dom, folks!

I wouldn’t be surprised if prudish repression underlies a lot of their decisions too. Oh, the world we could live in if uptight people could simply indulge in powerplay kink now and then.

Okay, this is something I'm going to have to test. This article left me with more questions than answers, especially when the writer claimed that pregnant sims can't woohoo or take a pregnancy test. I can't tell if they mean since this patch pregnant sims can't do those things, or if they haven't played the game enough to know that those things are false. The fact there's a question mark in parentheses doesn't help.

Also, the screenshot showing a child not be able to do something because they're "pregnant" doesn't necessarily mean the sim is pregnant - it could well be a bug related to how the menu is displayed, which sounds possible since it seems to be occuring across the board. The article is about sims being pregnant, but not about them having babies, and I find that an odd distinction.

But I have this game, and the patch is already downloaded. Let's see if I'm a lucky winner and this bug shows up.

To game for science!

Edit: I tried with a fresh, new, mod-free game file. I tried with an old game file both with and without mods. Alas, I was unable to recreate this glitch in my game.

FYI, the Sims 4 version is Wicked Whims.

But I find mods in generally have become difficult to maintain since EA starting putting out a new patch seemingly every week.

Damn, Uncle for the win!

Hey man, I appreciate your post for setting an amazing example of what being a father is. Some young men are reading this and seeing all these supportive comments, and that's going to inform how they behave if they become fathers someday. So, thank you for posting your question. It'll probably end up helping a lot more people than just your son.

I remember showering with my little brother. We would pretend we were puppies, taking turns "playing in the rain." (It was a shower-tub combo, so the shower stream only covered one half of the tub.)

Contrast this to my mom, who taught me how to shave my legs but who forbid me from "shaving above the knee."

That ended when I went to school in shorts and the bullies saw my thigh hair glistening in the sun.

It ended two years later, when I met a cool girl who didn't shave if she didn't feel like it, rocking her hairy legs without a care.

I'm still not that bold, but I found a balance that works for me. Nobody else's opinion matters.

My god, that sounds freeing.

Seriously. "Excuse me, Mom. You put what into where?!"

If your son came to you asking for help, don’t overthink. Do the right thing and help him out, regardless of what he wants to shave.

This should be stitched into a throw pillow. The first sentence on one side, the second sentence on the other side.

It could work for so many occasions.
