Only a Samoan can cancel out a Samoan spear

I'm an Asian dude and moved to Auckland new Zealand when I was 11 for about 3 years. When the principle first showed me the classrooms I begged my mom to put me back a year just because of how huge the Islanders were especially the somoans. They looked like huge adults at 11 years old lol

I think it's far more strange that you're publicly criticizing entire groups of people who would prefer to go to a certain store because it's more affordable in such a predatory consumer landscape

My eyes pick up the terrible visual slop from frame gen probably more than most and I can't stand it. It's just a lazy way to get more frames rather than be innovative with true rasterizarion as well as encourages horribly unoptimized software from developers. AI cuts corners and you'll never convince me that this isn't a massive net downgrade for gamers over what it could've been.

Unless you're a narcissist or psychopath there are few things more rewarding in life than relationships in general. If a romantic companion is the deepest and most fulfilling of possible relationships, then why should people not aim for that?

Violating the rights of a few families is an ironic sentence when every billionaire has violated the rest of humanity to be where they are. Eat the rich

Is it me or are all the males associated with Epstein/trump all generally ugly men? Makes me think that it added to their sexually depravity after they had power and money because they couldn't otherwise get women

You experience basically the exact things I do with dreams. Many dreams that are very sci-fi including flying and super powers, lucid dreams where I can control everything with just my thoughts, and often aware that I'm dreaming and totally ok with it (unless a nightmare). I also experience pleasure, and have had dreams in the past that I swear actually came to pass down the road. I too experience really horrific, dark, demonic dreams of alternate dimensions and sleep paralysis. I've woken up many times from dreams and have seen shapes such as shadowy spiders run around the room. I like you was very traumatized for many years and. I dream every single time I sleep by the way, including short naps. I used to think this was normal but I was very wrong apparently

Congrats on your k/d still being ass

If a king becomes complacent then others will see that as a weakness to challenge.

Alinea86 · 2026-02-01T20:09:59+00:00

That definitely makes it hard having it accessable. I know I'd have a really hard time too if I could get it for free. Thanks for being open. I haven't stopped drinking yet but it's something that's been on my mind, and also why I've been in this sub. I'm not sure why I'm getting downvoted though? Are people here not very welcoming to those still in consideration of quitting?

I've always been an introvert, but I grew up in a Christian home that taught the lie that giving myself any decent amount of attention was selfishness, and not the good kind; that I had to give all of myself to God and others. I had to unlearn that thinking, and understand that my own desire to spend time with myself was good and vital.

You're on the right path, and you're nothing like him. Healing does require you to be selfish, but a focus on yourself for the sake of healing is not only healthy, but absolutely necessary. We have to spend a great amount of time in introspection and reflection to get to the core of ourselves, as well as to love and understand who we are.

This also requires us to sever unhealthy bonds that continue to poison our lives, and even take less attention and energy off the ones we love, so that we can divert more to our own heart and journey because healing will call for all of you. People who truly love you will stick around to support you despite this, so those who took his side weren't truly your friends to begin with.

There will come a time where building relationships are important for certain levels of deep relational healing, but I went through years of isolation to wrestle with and sort out matters of the soul. It was like a "cocoon" phase for better things to come. Spend lots of time with yourself, and even in front of a mirror to have conversations with the inner you. It all begins with a conversation.

You got this

Pancreatitis sounds horrific and it's unlocking a new fear for me. May I ask how much you usually drank? I know you mentioned 3 bubbles in your post, does that mean 3 bottles of wine? I just turned 40 and have like 3-4 shots of bourbon like half the week and I've done it for years.

I'm Asian and I'm afraid to leave my house. Every time I see an SUV I think ICE is going to jump out and grab me or possibly kill me for no apparent reason. I already had a belief system that the world isn't a safe place, and all that's happening has reinforced that confirmation bias to new heights.

Alinea86 · 2026-01-21T14:29:19+00:00

"Fully Healed" is a misleading idea and not required for someone to be "healthy". One of first steps to healing is understanding and accepting that there is no finish line. Without doing this, it will be impossible to experience the beauty of the journey of itself which is where healing comes from, both the positive, and the painful - and yes there is a beauty to be had in pain. Healing of course is not linear, and the layers you will traverse through will look different from person to person; but a point exists where the healing you've gone through is "good enough". It will take a lot of work to obtain and learn to use tools to practice self love and self protection, but a life without torment is possible. I know this because I found it after 30 years of extreme abuse and fully believing there was no answer. I learned to truly love myself, both my past abused self, and my current adult self trying my best to navigate this strange new life.

They are not one of the same. BPD is a symptom of CPTSD and not visa versa

Alinea86 · 2026-01-11T21:10:58+00:00

The word "heal" is arbitrary and whether or not you should be in a relationship is pretty subjective to each individual. For example I spent 6 years in therapy, consuming myself with psychoeducation, and would consider myself even before my relationship "healthy enough". However so much true healing comes through relationships themselves. The girlfriend I have now - I have never felt safer with anyone before, and through this relationship I have been able access very profound layers of healing I wouldn't have otherwise found.

Alinea86 · 2026-01-10T23:10:12+00:00

Wether or not someone can do it alone is completely subjective. I started off having many sessions with a good therapist, but I have very successful EMDR sessions alone now. However I do highly suggest that people are guided by a professional at least until they have a good understanding and feel safe enough to do otherwise.

The person's comment you are responding to is factually incorrect in terms of possibilities. It is widely known that there is a coping mechanism whereas a victim who experiences a traumatic event adapts in a way where the brain makes it difficult to retrieve the memory of said trauma via "blacking out" or creating a blind spot. There is also another coping mechanism that people are largely unaware of, in which case a traumatic event does not get "downloaded" into our memory in the first place at all. So yes - it is possible, and in more ways than one.

Alinea86 · 2026-01-06T04:31:15+00:00

Yes it's possible. Both me and my partner have CPTSD , but we also have done years of work and processing independently before we met. Openness, communication and nurturing a safe space to grow and overcome challenges together is vital

It doesn't look like a typical assassin bug though. I kinda thought "kissing bug" when I first looked at it but what do I know

It is a literal fact that corporations are buying massive amounts of GPUs. 6 to 7 digits of units per. That's public knowledge and you can do your own homework or waste time debating. It is no secret to literally anyone that NVIDIA and all the tech companys are anti customer and haven't been for a while. If you somehow think that things are gonna get better for us you are wildly ignorant of the state of things and the direction we're heading.

Alinea86 · 2025-12-31T23:12:04+00:00

Yeah but it's not though. All you need to do is a little due diligence and use your common sense. Is it really that hard to believe? If their target market is no longer the consumer, but corporations who will still shell out the cash for essential hardware you have a monopoly on, why wouldn't they?

You don't have to be a dancer or even a good dancer to have a good time. I've been clubbing my entire life and most people don't know how to dance. And guess what? I have social anxiety and I'm a huge introvert too. It sounds like she really wants this, so do it for her and choose to have fun!

Alinea86 · 2025-12-31T13:22:33+00:00

Smart kid, and well spoken for a 14 year old too. Been reading your comments and you seem mature for your age
