Tinker Tuesday for April 1, 2025

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.

If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

So I see "dadmaxxing" and think "that's hecking wholesome", and then I read the rest of the comment, what a ride. Hang in there, bro.

It is kinda wholesome tbh. I enjoy the extra time with the little one, who is actually 100% cooperative when she's alone with me. As opposed to the screaming obstruction she turns into in her mother's hands. According to my wife that's because with her she's not afraid of being honest, whereas with me she's terrified into obedience. Screw that view. Conservative parenting fucking works, and to hell with self-sabotaging housewives. As if a kid being turned into a dissolute, undisciplined third-generation depressive whose only aspirations in life are sugar and screentime were somehow preferable because it means nobody has to ever buckle down and do anything they don't like.

We spend pretty much the entire weekend at the playground, and are looking forward to summer, which we intend to spend entirely at the pool, like we did last year. Anyone who tells me that this is somehow worse than keeping her locked up indoors and telling her to let the adults stare at their phones is full of shit.
