Get him stuff that helps the family so he doesn’t feel useless and guilty. That’s number 1. It’s awful to feel like a burden to everyone, and that doesn’t go away no matter what is said to you.
Second, stretch bands to put around limbs and pull. It feels amazing. You don’t realise how little you move and how little muscle you use while subconsciously “nursing” a broken bone.
Something insanely complex that involves both arms to use or solve. It’s just funny as shit. But also, I swear I recover faster.
If there isn’t a good local joint, I like Marco’s. They tend to be a lot better at cooking and topping. When they’re on their game, their pizzas taste like 80’s pizza commercials looked and it’s amazing.
Where I live, we have a chain called Cottage Inn, that started on city over. They’re my choice pretty much every time. They’re open late for delivery, and make better pizza than the big chains 100% of the time, plus, since the mega-corps have increased their prices so much over the last couple years, Cottage Inn is basically the same price as well
Started /m/[email protected], still playing Stardew Valley (I went up 100 hours in about a month!), and still slowly progressing on My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom -Pirates of the Disturbance- as I yell about on the /m/otomegames weekly threads. I have also been trying various /m/[email protected], including a billion bananas and Squareixion.
For transparency, just a subscriber on most of those communities, but I do mod /m/otomegames.
I really liked kbin too. Left Reddit early into the migration and went straight there. It got too buggy to use, so I went on holiday to bsky for a minute (not my thing). When I came back, it was gone, sadly. So, here I am.
Happy belated father’s day, from someone who is glad you made this comment. I appreciate you highlighting this issue, because this is something that is sorely lacking in progressive discourse; it’s getting better, I think, but that is likely due to people like you helping people like me to understand how caring fathers are usually not respected or appreciated by the world. (Edit: like you say, “appreciation” towards fathers is usually limited to financial support, which completely ignores the vast majority of what it means to be a father (and also marginalises full-time dads whose partner is the working parent))
Chessboard, bro can play a tournament by calling his move and having his opponent move his piece. Queen to e7, checkmate, and his opponent has no choice but to move his piece!
Firm supporter of local stores and businesses. It also does help that I have a few good places in walking distance and a healthy city centre. So if I want and weather permitting I can sit on their patio and wave to acquaintances.
