    1. You are a generous and responsible parent.
    2. All I can say is that my ex's parents basically didn't do shit for him, and his father was very wealthy and his mother got a positively palatial alimony check in those days, and yet he was left to his own devices for higher education and early adulthood, and it showed up in his adult habits in that he did really spiteful things regarding money because those needs weren't met. I'm sure because you are this supportive your son will feel confident and responsible and be well grounded in life because he didn't have to think about having his needs met, which is the ultimate wound really.
  • You're not reading this clearly.

  • I'm giving the answers the urology group told me, and also what I think. I am not saying do it, and I did say I don't agree with it.

  • I hope so. I get what the urology perspective is. It's honestly horrible to go through past infancy after 3 months of age, so being honest with your ability to do the necessary care is the most important thing. God it was a horrible thing to listen to though.

  • I worked in pediatric urology so I'll give you their perspective first. The urologist's assistant said the thing to do is assess honestly whether you'll keep up with your child's hygiene, if you are comfortable ensuring they'll clean their foreskin as they grow up. My friend says she really had to stand over her son and tell him to wash his penis again and again. Boys are not the best at hygiene sometimes, so as long as you are comfortable ensuring he does so, don't circumcise. If you don't think you'll be comfortable with that, be realistic, because boys get what's called phimosis where the foreskin becomes stuck and doesn't retract, and while there's a cream called betnovate you can apply to relieve this, if it becomes chronic and there's scarring, having circumcision as an older child is much more of an ordeal, as they have to go under general anesthesia. These are the pros and cons.

    I think circumcision is a bad idea and don't recommend it myself because I've heard a baby crying during one personally and that's horrifying, but this is what the medical reality of it is, so be honest with yourself about what you can do as a parent. It's honestly a terrible thing for them to go through without anesthesia as well. Bullying be damned, anyone who is offended by a normal penis isn't worth your time anyway.

  • Must like the endorphins.

  • This makes me miss Flyingsquid.

    Me, a couple of days at most when I had Norwalk.

  • My pug who passed recently would eat literally anything. This includes raw potatoes that he dug out of the ground himself, very hot peppers off the plant (he was delighted with this), a jar of dried soup beans, and a bag of slivered almonds. The first two I simply never thought he'd think to eat, the beans and almonds I thought were out of reach and weren't. He was absolutely fine each time and very pleased with himself. When my ex would bring the grocery buckets in, he would be waiting and take a chomp out of anything he could reach, celery or lettuce or peppers. It really was cute despite the horrible poops he would have, and I miss him awful.

  • I keep my lunch in my work bag all day, not in the fridge, unless it's salad where it should be crisp.

    I did the European thing where I kept eggs on the counter. It's best that way. Real unwashed farm eggs, not shit from the grocery store.

  • Dancing. I did go to a party last week with a DJ and danced my ass off anyway.

  • No, that's narcissistic as far as I'm concerned.

  • I use YouTube music but I am going to change to Tidal. I'm so sick of YTM. It crashes all the time and stops playing randomly in the middle of songs. I tried Spotify which I hated, and Apple Music which seems to have different licensing for some stuff and doesn't have a lot of the classical music I want, but also has a lot of stuff that's nowhere else. It also mixed terribly. If Tidal pays artists better then that's better anyway.

    Also, two words for you: Metrolist and SimpMusic. Find your way. :)

  • I had a friend who lived that way for years in Baja, just went over for work and went home, loved it there.

  • All the time.

  • Aww I'm sorry. Welcome to Lemmy!

  • Apples with razor blades in them and whatall.

  • That is....all the things.

  • I just didn't happen to know about it until my aunt told me a third cousint did a family tree recently and identified a few distant relatives who are indigenous, so it was interesting for me is all. I knew I was partly Quebecois but I didn't know about the Habitant part either.

    It's just really visible now. I looked at r/Canada a few times and I'm just horrified at what they say. I'm not saying it wasn't present but they're normalizing saying deport people.

  • And smallpox!
