As funny as this is as a Dad there's absolutely no way I wouldn't wear that out, and yes I'm a muffin.

When I was 35 my father had his 3rd child. 2 years later I had my first child, 2 years after that I had my second. The only thing that gets to me is he isn't necessarily the grampa I want for my children. He's busy raising his own kid and I get that but it'd still be nice to have a more active grandpa. Just my two cents and something to keep in mind if your kid is going to possibly be expecting within the next handful of years

Agreed I think it'd be pretty crazy fight. If it didn't hurt the animals involved I'd pay-per-view it for sure. From what I read they fight for territory, family protection, securing a female and to keep their rank. However, I am not a gorilla expert but I did stay at a holiday and express once.

This is some death stranding vibes

Gorillas fight a fair amount so to say they have no training isn't correct.

Say what you want this is is an interesting thought, although the polar bear would most likely win because of its sheer mass. The gorilla has a lot going for it. A silverback can get to almost half that weight and has a greater bite force, intelligence, agility, and reach. They can also throw punches of up to 2300 lbs of force, which could easily break a bone or skull.

I'm sure Insurance will deny his claim because he deliberately flooded his restaurant..

I showed my sister a documentary called Idiocracy.

Thinking that they're just doing anything they can to crash the stonks so they can buy low.. Agree? Guess it doesn't matter if the market never recovers and nobody wants to do business with the US

In the same exact boat except Worked for a small company with a private owner and I took a jump to a giant corp (for the money) and absolutely hated every second of my life while I was there. Went out for a beer with my old boss, (the owner) a few months in and told him my current stateof mind. I didn't ask or discuss coming back but the next day he sent me a new job offer with things more catered to my own personal goals and a bit of a pay bump.

I returned, It was never awkward I really enjoy going to work. I feel valued and when I left it made both the owner and I realize how much we benefit each other. I don't have to take work home with me or ever stress about it. He's super flexible with time off and if something comes up with my kids.

This allows me to persue things that interest me. I've learned c+ c# and some angular and made a crappy indie game. Ive learned the piano, guitar and how to sing. I'm starting a cover band with friends and none of this would have been possible because I would have been mentally and physically drained at the other place.

That value alone is hard to put a price on I just didn't know until I hopped ship.
