I originally started them because I thought it was the books behind The Expanse show but after realizing my mistake I sorta got used to Jeffrey Kafers voice (acting) and liked having them around. There are comfort books now and I found out that there's a part two of the series...it's never going to end and I'm okay with that.
For psychical books I'm reading Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers by Gabor Maté & Gordon Neufeld and it really resonates with me. Both my parents were working with (troubled) children/youths when I grew up so I've listened to countless discussions about parenting, upbringing and child psychology around the dinner table all my life. This book seems to bridge my parents view with my own because parenting is vastly different today. I've been having trouble combining/navigating my own experience/upbringing with this new dogma and what to pass it on to my own children because my own childhood was not without issues I've come to learn.

Comment on Favorite quick play tabletop game recommendations in ~games.tabletop
elcuello LinkI’ll recommend Zombie dice. Simple and pretty fast game that’s fun especially if you punk and push each other a bit for playing too safe. Second most pick would be Las Vegas dice game about money....I’ll recommend Zombie dice. Simple and pretty fast game that’s fun especially if you punk and push each other a bit for playing too safe.
Second most pick would be Las Vegas dice game about money. A lager set than Zombie dice but still easy to take with you and great if you’re 3 or more.

It’s so simple and still hard to explain to others because it honestly sounds dumb.
+1 for Wavelengths. Great conversation starter.

elcuello Link ParentGreat article. When talking about secrecy vs privacy I’ve always liked the analogy that you lock the door when you go to the bathroom. That’s privacy and have nothing to do with hiding something....Great article. When talking about secrecy vs privacy I’ve always liked the analogy that you lock the door when you go to the bathroom. That’s privacy and have nothing to do with hiding something. Although secrecy also has its place as the article mentions.

I rarely look at usernames and I like to think it’s me unconsciously trying not to judge based on experience and recognition. Come to think of it maybe it’s also because I try to avoid taking too much accountability towards who I’m interacting with…furthermore to be completely honest maybe I’m envious of the eloquent “power” users and secretly wish I was one myself.

I’m having trouble with the tips as they don’t seal my ears canals enough and it creates a lot of noise when I bike. It’s my ear canal that’s strange I think so I’ve ordered some Comply tips and hope they do the trick.

Great noise cancelling and amazing depth in sound. I listen to a lot of metal so that's really important to me. Maybe you can get them cheap some place as there's a 4 out now so I don't think they sell them in the official store anymore.

elcuello LinkEnsiferum have always been a great gateway to heavier metal and harsh vocals when you wanna take the plunge from the more main streamy metal. Plus they're just fun.Ensiferum have always been a great gateway to heavier metal and harsh vocals when you wanna take the plunge from the more main streamy metal. Plus they're just fun.
