i'm a ... god, what am i?

i'm a dad starting on blended family life who gets money for thinking about computer stuff (they call it "software engineering") and my hobbies are a mix of stereotypical and "wait, are you an extrovert?!".
What is something dumb you care strongly about? Like, have too much opinion about.

Mine's toilet seats.

What genius put these two push buttons next to each other? I turn off the car, intending to turn off the radio, at least once a week.

Hell yes I work at GM (now) and talk shit on FCA. 😅

Okay, but ... what's with the fart jokes? Is it a trans-people-on-the-internet thing? Is that just my feed on bluesky?

Okay, this week: I've parented, I've coached, I've emotionally supported, I've unpacked, I've driven like it's a job, and I've cried a lot. Today, I just want to chill out and play Silksong. Maybe ride my bike. But can I ACTUALLY make myself take care of Dane today?!

When I was younger, narcissism basically meant vanity. Maybe arrogance. But wow, personality disorder and emotional abuse and something I needed to really prioritize protecting myself from? Not communicated at all.

Child support is such a weird solution to the problem. Hear me out, I gladly send money to my ex so she can maintain a similar standard of living for our kids at her house. But it's such a flawed implementation. Unemployed? Same $ amount. Literally double my annual income? Same $ amount.

Can someone explain why a previous owner of this house wanted the top two receptacles on this wall to be controlled by 3-way switches above them? But also ... not high enough above them? Old work boxes, one receptacle has an open neutral, even looks INTENTIONAL ... wtf

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Got out of bed after 11, went and bought a fridge, shall be delivered tomorrow, now all I gotta do is empty the old house, clean it, and mow. How hard can that be?!

Like dropping 3.5mm headphone jacks on phones, refrigerators that magnets don't stick to are just so obviously worse. I think whoever does this on purpose hated their childhood.

I MIGHT be grinding collectibles in Mario Kart World. That's good, yeah? Mental health break or something...

Okay. Since Friday, I've been going full bore on moving work. So tired. Prioritizing rest today, with one more push to get finished on Friday.

As for me and my house, we ... are the neurotypical ones.

i often have a hard time finishing projects. i get to 80% and keep starting something else. now it's that, but the gf and i have two homes to finish emptying, but all we want to do is unpack and set up spaces in the new house! it's AuDHD all the time over here.
August 25, 2025 at 2:24 PM
cuz of course the first morning at the new house becomes emotional overwhelm due to your trauma with your dad during childhood. just like everyone says... /s

It is so wild to see my girlfriend's stuff, and my stuff, in the same space! The littlest things catch my attention! Even body wash I left at her place, being in OUR new shower, is like "WHOA THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING OMG!!!"

Moving Day. movers brought 3, not 5, team says the quote is way low. new fridge doesn't work. electrical problem in the master bedroom. i'm not sure how to not get overwhelmed at this point. but hey, my gf is stupid excited. that helps! 😅
