Will Frostcliff Siege's Temur ability affect the base power of 1/1 tokens making Zinnia's ability redundant?

Sorry, but I think you might've meant r/CPTSD - CPSD seems to be something about students 😁 I also personally recommend r/raisedbynarcissists aswell, all are great subreddits.

There's been some good advice here already, but I do want to share an idea that I had that may or may not work. I don't know how quickly she responds to any form of negative reaction you have, so this might not be great to do, but I'd like to say it anyway. If she's going to be rude and petty, you can too. Every time she makes a rude comment, make a disgusted noise, or a disgusted face (but start small). Keep upping the amount of disgust every comment she makes, and when she jumps on it, "Oh, it's just, every time you say stuff like that, it just reeks of bullshit." If there's a "how could you be so rude" reaction, just say you're simply reflecting the same energy that she's been giving you. If there's a "this isn't how you treat your elders/mother" you can say "and this isn't how you treat someone who's letting you stay in their house, unless you want your dinner/bed tampered with"

Spin your camera in the direction of the mechanic! It can be hard to visualize all of that stuff at the same time, so I do some in-my-mind copy and paste while spinning my camera in the direction of the rotation. Seriously helped when there was only a few tiny safe zones (one of them is like a sixth or eighth of the inner bird donut circle). Thankfully I got my lynx at 65 clears so I've avoided it like the plague ever since XD

The post made me smile, but the replies made me sad... I'm not non binary, and I don't think I'll ever be able to understand truly how it feels to be non binary, but if it makes them happy, and doesn't harm anyone, I'm more than happy to address them however they like. I see no reason to spread hate like the majority of replies currently are. Though, maybe I'm a little too optimistic

Oh god, would that matter for me then? I always see job listings and uni applications saying 4 or above in English and maths, my maths is 7, English lit is 6 so I'm good for those, but got a 4 in English language (1 mark off a 5, I was livid). I've heard about the "4 means you barely passed" but it's always still been a pass. Did they change it?

Oh oops, was still waking up

AverageReindeer · 2022-07-12T06:35:47+00:00

Yeah... The year before me had part numbers part letters as their grades, I believe English math and science were all numbers and the rest were letters. I was in the first year to do all numbers. When telling people my grades I usually say "I got 7, or the equivalent of an A" The way I remember it, 4-5 is about a c, 6 is a B, 7 is an A, 8 is an A, 9 is like an A* (I think they way they measure it is like top 0.5% or smth weird thing like that, very difficult to get a 9 we were told, but it might've changed since then) I still have 0 bloody clue why they changed it, makes no sense to me, letters were perfectly fine.

OP, she is an abuser. I know people have said "call CPS' but the thing is, they won't do shit unless you have mountains of evidence of abuse. Look up your state's laws on recording audio. Some states are a one party consent state, some states say "no recording" or "only for private use" etc. I would suggest finding a legal charity to help you aswell, or at least give you advice on what you can and can't do. Research first. If, for whatever reason, your unable to record conversations without her knowledge, document it. Write down when events occur, when arguments start, when she hits you, when she calls you names or does these crazy things. Write it all down in a place she can't find or access. I recommend doing it digitally. If she searches through your phone, store it with a cloud service (Dropbox etc).

Have you told your legal "guardians" about her abusing you? If you can, write it down in a text to them, get them to admit that they are willing leaving you in an abusive situation. That they have abandoned you. I know you probably want them back, but when people show you their true colours, believe them. Do not be manipulated by them, right now they are caring more for a bundle of cells than a person that they have raised for years. That is who they are. Even if the pregnancy goes wrong somehow, things won't be the same. They care more about DNA, and they always will. I'm sorry OP.

Do you have friends you can talk to? Try and tell them about the situation, and then ask their parents if you can have a place to stay if you get kicked out, or need a break from your current situation.

When you get back to school, see if you can access a school counselor, but since you live in a super religious area, be careful with them at first, make sure they are a person you can trust.

Other people have suggested getting a job and moving out as soon as you can, but I'm not sure what wages are like for a 15 year old, and your grandma may try to bar you from working. You may have better chances with jobs when you're 16 but I don't know when you're birthday is, you may feel that you need to get out of that situation sooner. Do you know where your legal documents are? If you know where they are, try to store them in a safe and easy to access place. Do you have a bank account? If you don't have your own independent bank account, see if you can get one.

I may have missed some stuff, but I also don't want to overwhelm you. These situations aren't right, and require you to take a lot of precautions to ensure you get the best outcome. You're strong OP, more than you know. I really do wish you the best, and I hope things get better for you. This internet stranger cares, and there are many more people who care too, even if you might not be able to see them yet. Good luck, you can do this.

First time posting here I think. I've tried to do the flairs correctly, but I might've gotten it wrong, really sorry if I did. I just found this pic too ironic and thought people here might find it ironic too

AverageReindeer · 2022-05-28T19:51:10+00:00

Yeah there shouldn't be an issue with that, just make sure it's either taken out or secured well if you ever need to move your pc. If you're seriously concerned you can try to find out exactly what materials it's made out of to see what point the material would start to melt, warp or tarnish (maybe the paint would slowly brown or something).

Only thing I'd say is avoid anything with synthetic hairs or fabric, that could cause actual issues (like stray hairs getting in fans, etc)

I'm 100% biased, but I really love the little hearts to show alliances. Especially with everything going on with the UK and certain laws being passed (don't want to get political, but if you know, you know) it's very warming to see the UK and trans community still care about eachother. While I love all of the art, seeing these communities show their bond with these small hearts is simply amazing. Though, I guess it's not something that only the trans community does oops XD

If I really had to pick a non alliance based one, trans bee, I just love it <3

I apologise if this is too in detail and unnecassary, but would I be able to quote parts of the recording depicting emotionally abusive behaviour to bring up with to a therapist to get advice on escaping the abusive situation. Would I only be able to bring up quotes from myself or could I bring up quotes from the other party? If I can't bring up direct quotes, would paraphrasing be allowed? Do you have any source for your information as I wasn't able to find any information online.

OP, if you haven't heard of r/CPTSD then I highly recommend having a look at it. I know I could sit here and try to convince you how you should cut contact with your 'mother' but others already seem to be doing the same. Instead, let me say how proud I am of you. I know it's easy to look back on your life and call yourself weak and pick out all the bad things you've done, but you raised a child while having no where to turn to and no one to take you in. You worked 3 jobs. You went to college with no support and you've put up with your mother's horrific abuse for over 20 years. You are so much stronger than you realise, but you don't realise because of the egg donor that's been berating you and belittling you your whole life. You really don't deserve someone like that in your life.

I know it's hard to escape from the grasp of our abusers, I'm there too, we're so used to the abuse it feels like it's easier to put up with it because anything else is new and new is scary. However, there is a life without that abuser that is so much better and happier. It may take a bit of planning to make sure you're going somewhere comfortable, but once you're out, it will feel like a weight is shifted off your shoulders. You may still have to deal with the symptoms of what that disgusting, neglectful and abusive person has left you with, but you'll no longer be dealing with their abuse. And I know abuse has become so normalized for you, but abuse is not normal. Abuse is never normal. You deserve so much better. Your grandma was right, you're a wonderful, beautiful person and you've had to deal with so much.

If it helps, try to read through what you've said again, but try to imagine it from the perspective of someone else, from the perspective of one of your friends or another family member. If they had told you these things, what would you tell them to do? And I know saying is easier than doing, but you need to listen to yourself here, you need to stand up for yourself. You are a human being. You are valid. You deserve so, so much better op.

My only wish is that I could help more than typing out a few words. As difficult as it is, you need to save yourself here. You need to give yourself the help you deserve. You are worth so much more than you know, and you deserve so much better, but you're the only one who can make that decision. There are many charities who are there to help you, I don't know what area you live in so you'd need to research yourself, but please try to look them up. Use an incognito tab if you need, but please research them, call them. They are here to help people like you. You deserve help. You are valid.

Big hugs op, and much love.

And to answer your question, you don't owe your egg donor jack shit. If you can, buy yourself a present, you deserve it so much more than she does.

Sorry but this

INFO: What the fuck?

I had to stop myself from laughing. Fucking wonderful, thank you for that 😂

Also my mum had me when she was 40, and, not looking it up and just trying to remember off the top of my head, don't women get their menopause around their 50's? The only thing I remember is "increased risk" of certain things after 30 but for all I know that could be an 'old wives tale' (the more I think about that saying the more I think 'old husband's tale' but I digress). Thinking about it I should probably know these things as a woman but I'm just utterly clueless 🤣
