I went very quickly from "hey, I'm saving $100/month by not having spectrum" to paying for like 8 different streaming services.

Saw something yesterday that said something along the line of “we should have a service that combines all streaming services for a monthly price that each household can get with a certain signal.”

It got a chuckle out of me.

kind of disagree. My kids are awful at standing still and looking at the camera and smiling, so when we've done pictures with a photographer who is good at getting kids to do that, the pictures turn out better. We can take decent quality pictures of the kids on our phone, but it's kind of nice to have much better quality pictures of the whole family once a year or so. It's fun to look back at them now that the kids are a little bigger.

Listen, bro. Your wife doesn't read the boards. This is a safe space.
 
I legit enjoy looking at pictures of my kids when they were littler than they are now. Brings me a lot of joy!
 
The amount of toxic masculinity I have to spew into this thread to balance out BBD and Juice is exhausting.

My wife just gets super stressed about the pictures and about how everyone looks and that we all match and inevitably things to do not turn out perfectly and it's just not an enjoyable experience. I also have ptsd because my mom was crazy about yearly professional photos for Christmas cards when I was growing up. Maybe I should just take pictures with your family.

hmmmmmmmmmm
 
I gotta admit, I have heard enough about Demi Lovato's depression, substance abuse, and sexuality to last me a lifetime.
 
Maybe its my body image issues but man do I not give a shit about pictures anymore. At all. My wife freaking loves them and I feel bad because I get nothing from them.

I am a little worried that its related to the fact that I am slowly becoming an emotionless human being. The combination of Corona and teaching has really sucked the emotion right out of me. I very rarely get excited or upset anymore. My wife is a stressed out new mother who's filled with emotions and I've got nothing.

How many years you got in? And yes, teaching makes you dead inside after a while. You see too many kids going through too much just absolutely horrific shit.

I’m feeling pretty flat recently too. Just hard to get excited about shit at all. Even getting my first vaccine shot was just sort of a “meh”. Couple weekend excursions coming up and then a wedding in Austin post-full vaccination hopefully will help me break out of the funk a bit.

I'm doing shitty. I finally finished my game room (what some might refer to as a living room) with the last pinball machine. The Classic Lord of the Rings from 2003. I've had it for a month or so, and put up my high score on it the other day, just destroying it. However, it's a very dark machine with a dark playfield. Staring at the same spot for like 20-30 minutes made me really fucking dizzy to the point where I couldn't play pinball anymore for a few hours. Then tried again the next day and same fucking thing. I'm hoping it's just that one dark machine that's doing it, but if it turns out my eyes can't handle playing pinball I'mma be reallllly pissed.

I feels this on a real level
 
But I wish I could grow a beard that thick and full and luscious. But my creamy genes do not allow that.

do you see a therapist? thinking of yourself as an emotionless human being is quite a statement.
