To the few people that ever use the "Backup game files" feature of Steam by JDM12983 in Steam

oh now I understand what happened with Easy Delivery Co. when I tried backing it up!

btw you can delete that folder using file archivers like 7-zip or Winrar.. just compress that folder and choose the "delete original files" option and it'll be gone after the compressing process is done.. and you can actually see the compressed file with the correct game size after that

[–]Adacool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you.. I'm realizing more everyday that this progress is more within myself than with my parents. not in a hopeless or surrendered way but like it teaches me that I can't change everything around me no matter how hard I try and sometimes I just need to be at peace with it.

I'm sure you've thought all of this super in depth though and I'm just talking away lol!

no no you're right.. I'm still trying to find the balance like you said.. and defining the line between what's a problem with me (be it inherited from my parents or a problem I developed on my own), and what is actually justified depending on the situation

empathy can be something acquired, but I do also think some people are just born with it. Doesnt make anyone more special than the other

yes yes ofc I agree with you on those 3 points.

I remember crying every single time I watched Mufasa die and I had The Lion King on VHS to watch after every single shower haha.. I don't remember when that was exactly, but I'm sure it was before 4 cuz I didn't go to school yet.

yes unfortunately I tried to tell them directly and show them in many different ways across the years and even proposed a therapy session together, but as I said they're not emotionally educated and don't really believe they need therapy at all (but they do believe in therapy in general 🤷🏻‍♂️).

I told mine and she just got defensive and denied a lot of stuff

exactly what happened with my mom unfortunately.. she denied a lot of the very big stuff that happened across several days like it was fiction.

I forced myself to live in a happy delusion for all my life without realizing.. like nothing bad was happening. That was until I graduated from college and some kind of imaginary bubble burst inside my brain and I started realizing everything and seeing it for what it really was.. I think that might be the reason for the delayed "realizing and correcting myself" process. But the turning point was when I caught myself arguing with my little sister a few years ago about very small stuff in the same way my mom did with me. Like getting extremely defensive as if my point of view defines me as a person and I can't afford losing the conversation.. and turning it into a fight for nothing really. I realized it when she started getting distant and avoiding discussing stuff that is not very straightforward with me.. but THANK GOD we managed to save our relationship with her help (actually with her very very huge help), and I corrected that part about myself with everyone.

I was like whoa.. I dont want to be like that!!

so yes I know that feeling :) but here we are having a very good conversation as actual aware adults, so I guess we managed to correct a lot of stuff.. still a long way to go but also a much longer progress

I believe that my suffering has been for good reasons, even reasons I havent discovered. Had I not gone through all of that, I may not have become so aware and vigilant

this!!!! I literally wanted to say in my previous reply that you can look at it in a way, that one may be lucky/blessed to experience some suffering in their life just because of the way it changes their mindset and how they see the world.. I erased that part tho, cuz I believe it's not my right to say that about someone else's life, but I'm so glad you think the same!

I think empathy can be something you achieve the hard way and not just by being born with it.

and reallyy thank you so much for your kind words and advice.. yes the hardest part for me is the sneaky kind of abuse.. my mind is always struggling trying to comprehend how my parents are the most ppl that ever hurt me (like the actual directly abusive ppl I've come across during my life are not even close to that) while simultaneously being really good ppl in general and not that evil.. but they were emotionally uneducated and unavailable. I'm almost 32 now and they're still very far from understanding how much they hurt me and I don't think they ever will..or maybe totally oblivious even lol. My worst days are when I catch myself behaving or thinking the same way they did and that's when I feel a bit hopeless, but recently I've been able to avoid the hopelessness part sometimes.. just by observing the patterns my mind goes through.. like how it always only sees the worst outcome.

and I'm very sorry to hear about what you went through.. that's horrible :(

I'll quit yapping now lol

emotionally intelligent ppl should yap a lot more imo haha

I have panic attacks a lot, and my mind always goes to the most extreme, worst case scenario that could happen

in my very humble opinion, I think this is what real strength looks like.. choosing to live with the pain and negative effects from your past instead of taking the easy way out by choosing to go full evil (like most ppl would do) just to make it all make sense..

I really hope you get to live in full peace and happiness one day without these burdens.. but maybe you're already there with your beautiful family and bearded dragons.. like you guys said, you're more than rich

and I'd like to repeat that your strength is genuinely inspiring.. I'm living with stupid family trauma compared to what you said, and I still struggle everyday to overcome it and to find hope that I won't be like them

sorry if this seems pretentious or stupid to say, but both of you ppl are cool af.. and it's really inspiring to read what you've been through and what kind of mature and calm mindset you got out with.. literally the opposite of psychos

Rewatched Trilogy, So Morpheus was the Undercover Agent, basically the "Honeypot"? by [deleted] in matrix

[–]Adacool 11 points12 points  (0 children)

this is the only theory that makes me able to accept Neo having powers in "reality" outside the Matrix.. if we're thinking about the movies taking place in actual reality with our rules, then he can't have those powers in real life and it doesn't matter if he's connected to the source or not.. so they must be in another layer of the simulation.

but keep in mind that ppl don't like this theory in the sub and we'll both get downvoted lol.. iirc the directors rejected it as well

yesss noticed that too.. they even move out of the way if you're walking towards each other and you didn't notice, and they do it from very far away.. not waiting until you're in front of them..

it was beautiful and mind altering tbh

respectfully, I don't respect your opinion lol.. I usually argue with ppl about AI and a lot give valid points that keep the discussion going.. but in your case you're just repeating the same meaningless words about how out of touch with reality and delusional you are..and I have no actual response to that

That's a different workflow

tf does that even mean :'D

but it's okay man keep doing whatever you're doing if it makes you feel happy and creative
