This is not a good reason to have a baby
Currently at the Top of the Charts on Reddit:
If i get my wife pregnant around next week, i will get a 2 week paternity leave during world cup next year from Showerthoughts
Read the comments. They funny.
Example:
And you’ll have a brand new alarm clock to wake you up at 3AM to watch the game, depending on what time zone you’re in.
Ha, amateurs. You just sleep at night like normal and when the wife says “it’s your turn” you roll over and act like your the heaviest sleeper in the universe. Totally unrelated to why I’m divorced, she said I didn’t listen or something.
Maybe it’s just ‘cuz my work gave me a month paid paternity leave but I loved the newborn age. They sleep like 18 hours a day. And no real complicated needs. Cuddles, food, diaper, burp, etc. It’s not like they wake up from a nightmare with an existential question like “What happens when we die? How do we know nightmares aren’t real and this is just a dream…”Admittedly even when they are sleeping all the time when they are up won’t necessarily coincide with when you may have wanted to be up, but so long as you nap when they do it’s awesome.
I miss naps..
I miss naps too.
Also, warning: some of the comments are nasty. But, you know, reddit, Internet, whatevers. There’s some good stuff too. Enjoy.

Amazon Prime Day
It’s Amazon Prime Day, baby!
What the hell is Prime Day, you say?
Why, it’s a way to save money!
Why is it called Prime Day?
Because in order to get the deals from Amazon, you have to be an Amazon Prime member.
See? This is how they getcha.
That said, Amazon Prime is a pretty good deal. You get free 2-day shipping and access to a giant library of video. Basically it’s like Netflix but with Amazon. And Amazon has different shows in some cases, especially their own content, so if you want to be one of the cool kids and watch, like, everything, you need Amazon Prime.
Among the deals to be had:
Shop Amazon Devices – Prime Day All New Fire Tablet starting $29.99
That’s a sweet deal on an Amazon Fire. 30 bucks. You can watch video, read books and digital comics, and play with apps. Imagine getting an iPad for 30 dollars. Now forget about that because it’s not going to happen. But an Amazon Fire tablet for 30 dollars, that you could get, at least on… PRIME DAY.
So go check out what’s on offer. Here are a few links to get you started.

The Death of Captain Marvel, Two Dollars on Kindle
I recently sung the praises of the first ever Marvel Graphic Novel, The Death of Captain Marvel. That comic… sorry, Graphic Novel (it’s in the title!) is now on sale from Amazon for only two dollars on Kindle.
That’s right! TWO DOLLARS. Reading comics on a Kindle Fire (or an iPad) is a great experience. While I still enjoy comics in print, there is a lot to be said for reading digital comics. For one thing, they don’t take up any room in your house. For another, they are often much cheaper than the print version, and at two bucks, you can’t go wrong. If you’ve never read The Death of Captain Marvel, go buy it now. If you HAVE read The Death of Captain Marvel, go buy it now because it’s really good and you should read it again. Or buy it for your kids. It’s very good and very cheap. What else do you want?

Skirting The Dress Code
Fun story about a group of kids who protested their school dress code by wearing skirts, hence my enormously clever “skirting the dress code” headline. Bam!
(The pic below is because this is a LINK to story elsewhere. Get it? A LINK? Have I over explained it yet?)
Based on the other links below, this is not a new idea. Regardless, I like it.
They wanted to wear shorts, but were told that breached their school’s uniform policy.
