Here's a telegram group I've just made:

Could go for Discord if there's more interest in that.

Your parenting mojo

But anything that helps you understand your brain and personal issues better will also help with parenting. So also try:

The Happiness Lab

Hidden Brain

School of Life (YouTube channel)

People online tend to recommend therapy to everyone,and I'm sure therapy is great if you can access it. But you can read, listen, watch, learn and improve through self reflection....and heal wounds you never knew about.

The thing I'm really missing is finding a good dad group or parent group to join. I would love some peer support.

I'm good with my parents. They have their normal human flaws, which I accept happily.

Are you a parent yourself? It's really difficult. You can't help but bring a lot of baggage. There's a podcast I lesten to, to improve parenting that runs a workshop called "taming your triggers". Having children exposes a lot of wounds and personal baggage. It's really difficult to recognise and address those on yourself as a parent. Your description of expectations from a parent are so idealised, I would argue that there are very few individuals in the world who are actually successful in being that good and selfless.

This is interesting if you've got an hour to watch a philosophy video(link goes directly to 53min if you just want to watch a few minutes).

I've gotten this feeling back recently when I started playing Fragpunk. I would highly recommend it. The unranked PvP modes are chaotic, fast paced and have tons of action with crazy ability cards you can add. It's been a great change from the sweaty FPS gaming that's so universal now.

I'd like to thank Apex for banning Linux, otherwise I would have never bothered looking for Fragpunk.

I would also like to thank Marvel Rivals for being an unbalanced hell and forcing my hand to ditch it. It got tiresome having a team full of people who don't bother staying together or coordinating, who run into the line of fire one by one. In Fragpunk unranked games I don't have to care at all what the team is doing. Like old CoD lobbies or Team Fortress 2 lobbies, in Fragpunk you can just go out there and have fun and look at the scoreboard at the end to see what other people did.

Cut it off after the first 2 points and it sounds ideal.

A bunch of 4-5 guy friends who are open to talk about anything with the motivation being to get a better understanding.......where do I sign up?

The movie is great and well worth watching.

This note has a very "or else" vibe.

Let him try to aim for it..... As long as he doesn't neglect his education and other opportunities then there's no harm in giving him some years to figure this out himself the hard way.

Virgin is always a rip off and only worthwhile if you don't have BT fibre in your area.

Try stacking discounts (sales + O2 simcard discount) and negotiating aggressively at contract end.

Shit, my comment is taken.

I'm getting better at finding new ways to break my installation. Now I don't mess with things and just use it as is. Might start messing with stuff on my laptop rather than PC so I can mess up there instead.

Understandable. I went to New York expecting it to be an urban hell. People in Manhattan were more pleasant and friendly than London. I guess the short term visitor experience will also be very different.

Which app are you using?

Where did you visit in the UK?

Because I live here and I disagree. If it was London (as it usually is) then I'm really going to laugh.

You say this sarcastically, but there have been podcasts that talk about how I credibly effective this tactic is.

1+2=3

There's no place for a number 1. If you're not going to shit, then you're not allowed to pee either.

Well? Is it?

I rarely use the key as shift. It's reassigned to a different function when tapped and that's what I use it for most of the time.

This question is way above Lemmy's pay grade. I hope your situation gets better. People are right in saying that if self-help fails then it's time to give professional help another chance if that's accessible for you.

I do listen to a lot of podcasts and have recently heard something relevant from an expert in the field:

Your post history also indicates that you're routinely steeped in the worst doom news that social media serves up. It seems like it would be worth taking a break from consuming this material and find alternative ways to spend your time.
