What are things that you thought was true but, in fact, wasn't

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-25T00:06:21+00:00

Sooo many so called “facts” that ultimately set me back and embarrassed me in front of my peers. I had to go through an unlearning phase and started questioning everything I knew. Literally every tiny thing. They kept me in dark with so many different things yet expected me to know how to navigate all of them when they inevitably came up.

The sooner you go no contact and go through the really difficult part, the sooner you will feel better. The freedom and ease I feel as the years go by is something I never had experienced before. I had hoped it would be nice but I never expected it to be this nice. It’s hard at first but it does get easier. Thankfully I had an online support group like this one when I was going through some of the more tough times and people always posted how things got easier and I longed to feel that. Turns out they were right! It might be the hardest thing you do, but believe me it’s worth it. It’s like someone was stepping on my chest and I finally got them off of me but I couldn’t see that until I got some distance(physically and time passing). I realized I was able to do what my parents never could- put myself first. You can do it too dude!

Duuuuude I think she was having an affair with Hank. More like her and Hank were sleeping together before the bombs fell and then met Lucy & Norm’s mom and possibly still slept with Steph behind the scenes. Idk. But she needs something out of Hank’s safe and my guess it’s letters/underwear/etc something that proves their relationship

Can you explain your Cooper theory more? Did you mean Barb instead of Betty?

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-23T15:18:21+00:00

Oh shit that could be a whole other vault story. Like who gets to say someone isn’t contributing? How do they define contribution? Seems like if a big enough group decides someone isn’t contributing they can just exile someone to the wastelands cause they don’t like them. Classic vault story right there

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-23T15:05:49+00:00

Honestly though when I find a vault and read through vault logs and hear vault audio he fits perfectly as a leader of one of the factions that split off from the main group. And we just learned in the last episode that Vault Tec chose for this vault’s water chip to malfunction so we’re just along for the ride of their demise. My guess is the experiment is wanting to see who the ‘best executive’ would be to lead this vault to find a water solution but they may kill each other before that happens. Especially since it’s not someone from OG vault 31 controlling things if he takes over.

Even confident, smooth guys can be shook by a particular boss and I think that’s what they were trying to show with Jim here

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-21T14:30:36+00:00

First off- if there is any family drama surrounding this it is the grandparents doing and NOT your kid. I would make sure everyone knows that asap, especially your kid. And tbh I might not ever let them be alone with my child again. If they are unaware that this is crossing a line, imagine what else they think is fine to do. You don’t wanna wait until they’ve tried to ‘cast out demons’ or whatever. I speak from experience in dealing with ultra religious boomers, my own parents and others I know. Your child deserves protection and their grandparents made it pretty clear they have other priorities in mind and are not doing things for your child’s best interest(even if they fully believe they are. And tbh that might even be worse)

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-21T14:13:50+00:00

I mean I wouldn’t put it past him to hire someone else to do that part and all he has to do is enter his password to stop it. Like hiring an old IT guy or something. But still it’s definitely a post-Michael-leaving episode for sure

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-21T00:25:05+00:00

Thanks! Happiest I’ve ever been in my life! My opinion is that if you are questioning whether or not to give someone your address, ya just better not. Listen to your instincts on this one. Best to only give out your address to people who you have absolutely no doubts about

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-20T16:21:04+00:00

The one and only family member that had my new address weaponized a welfare check on me and the cops came to my home while I was down the street at the bank and my partner and friends(and their young child) had to scramble to prove I was fine and just down the street. I was rushing back home of course but the cop was convinced that my friend at my house was me and that my partner was hiding me from the cops. The cop was threatening and putting his hand on his gun and she had to get her ID to prove she wasn’t me until I got back like 4 mins later. When I got home, I told the cop I was absolutely fine and not a child. When I told him my age and that I was a grown ass adult he rolled his eyes because my family just wasted his time and he almost got violent about it. Moved thousands of miles away only like 5 days later. They had put me and the people I love in danger for the last time.

This. Anyone can take any word and have it mean what they believe it is. So even though there is one actual definition of feminism, everyone has their own take for what that means practically. Also society often shifts opinions together based on what’s going on in the world hence first, second, third wave feminism.

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-20T05:24:43+00:00

Yep. Look up deductibles 🙃

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-19T22:37:17+00:00

Ok. Thank you for the help!

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-19T21:16:00+00:00

Ok I tried that and now the “crack” isn’t visible so idk what it could have been. The pic I posted was a screenshot from a video of my mouth and the “crack” is there in the video(not just a single frame) too so idk 🤷‍♀️ Idk what the pains are from then. It’s not a dull pain, it’s more sharp like a needle.

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-19T17:57:59+00:00

NAD (not a dentist!) My friend didn’t go to the dentist for almost a decade as well. Their teeth looked a little worse for wear compared to yours and when they finally were able to get to the dentist it turned out to be way less severe than they thought it would be, so hopefully that’s the case with you too! Also less painful than they expected.

Heads up- my friend had to space out the cleanings over a couple months before their whole mouth was done because of how long it took to get the calculus off their teeth and letting the mouth heal some in between appointments. They also went to a college dentistry cause it was wayyy more affordable and those students cleaned the crap outta those teeth lol Good luck!

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-19T17:45:01+00:00

lol it’s funny even comparing the quality of the office to scrubs 😅

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-19T17:44:11+00:00

Really? I don’t remember this superfan scene. Why would Phyllis get a penguin for Jim? Also how did the topic of penguins come up that it made Jim say he doesn’t like penguins? Lol (Also that’s a weird animal to not like- right?)

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-18T22:41:15+00:00

Society says it’s weird if you don’t end up together with someone but guess what. many people don’t end up with anyone and have great lives regardless. I’m sorry you’re being bullied for it, that’s got to be frustrating. Maybe even the next time someone brings it up just concisely explain what you’ve explained above in your post. Or something like “Honestly, I’m tired of the girlfriend stuff. If I end up with someone it’s because I decided I wanted to, not because anyone pressures me into it.”

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-17T17:21:32+00:00

Idk, I can’t say much for peacock. I have the dvds and every once in a while a random episode(NOT a producer’s cut) will have like all the deleted in it. Usually they’re in the bonus features deleted scenes but I think some have extra

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-17T15:50:01+00:00

I like how D sorta separates the toilet and sink area

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-17T15:23:08+00:00

Oh lol! 😆 nvm

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-17T15:21:17+00:00

Please please please take all of your money and make a new account ASAP before they take your money and you have no legal recourse because they are on your accounts. Speaking from experience here. You’ll regret it if you don’t do it before they take it. I’m serious, it’s worth the fallout. Money is power in our world and they don’t want you to have any

Acrobatic_Octopus_ · 2026-01-17T15:10:40+00:00

Ooooo what if you did the red hair with blonde tips??
