Yeah I'm trans and my wife is a cis lady and neither of our current legal names are our birth name. No one's used my birth name for at least a decade but when we visit my in-laws I'm the only one who doesn't call her by hers. Always amuses me when I stop to think about it.

How old is she? Our guy just turned 21 and he loves "jumping" but still doesn't get any air, not sure if he's behind or just doing his thing.

My in laws' garage door. Happy to report that after almost three weeks here he now yells "OPEN DOOR" and insists on pressing the button himself whenever he's brought to/from the car.

 

We're moving into a condo where the previous owners removed a wall-to-wall closet that used to be in the second bedroom. We need the storage space so I'm planning on reinstalling it, but the articles and plans I've found so far are not very helpful. Everything I see has a lot of complex wall framing with hanging double doors, but I literally just want a small space with sliding doors, like the unit used to have. How much more complicated do I truly need to get than installing some tracks for sliding doors with a few hang bars and shelves behind them? Is there a particular disadvantage to doing things that way vs. how Google seems to want me to (besides babyproofing)?

I made it to the clinic roughly on time despite a sick wife and baby, and there's only one person at reception who's taking five years to solve one client's issue.

Actually there's two but they're both working on the same problem. And I'm not even the first person in line.

This must be some alternate time-line bullshit, Supernatural ended after five seasons like God intended and everything else is some kind of weird decade-long shared hallucination.

I proposed publicly to my wife but a) I knew she wanted to get married, b) I am super reserved usually so doing it publicly was more meaningful because it was more difficult, and I think most crucially c) I didn't film it for the socials. There's definitely a genre of public proposal that's super cringey but it's not really fair to paint them all with the same brush.

The Connect app allows you to filter out an instance, but it also hides comments from any users logged in to that instance. Which cam be a bit distracting, though all you have to do is press a button to reveal them.

 

I've been blocking individual porn boards from All but the vast majority are hosted on a specific NSFW instance. Is there a way to just block everything from that instance instead?

My 9-month-old is just starting to get into assisted walking, and I always compare his attempts to QWOP. Only a couple people have gotten the reference and it makes me very sad.

This was the joke in my household as a kid, never not funny.

I grabbed the Batman pack off the Steam sale - Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight. I had played Asylum on PS3 way back when but got stuck on one of the late game fights and never went back to it. Very fun, I'm a pretty casual gamer and it's good at making me feel capable even when I'm just doing average. Almost done Asylum and looking forward to getting into the other two.
