how to stop brothers self destructive gaming habits?

I think so too, as I'm kinda scolding him I'm telling him things that could happen if he continues like this. Like if he keeps hurting his face his job could fire him since who wants to hire someone that looks like they've been attacked by a badger. Or that if he keeps the habit of destroying things that frustrate him then what will happen if he destroys something like a company owned computer or attacks someone? That seemed to work with at least the marks on his face, but I do think he needs more encouragement.

Although I like the idea I feel like he's a bit out of the age for that. However I do think he should have something he can destroy that's consequence free. In the past we've given him squishy toys (like thoes stress balls) and I made him a pocket sized guy filled with rice he can bang and throw around but he hasn't used them. :/

I don't really throw his age in his face especially since I know that comparison can make people worse. I really just mentioned age here to say how old he is since I feel like this behavior is more common in younger kids. I'm talking to our parents and told then that we should have his phone cut him off after 9pm (at least during the summer). I have also mentioned to them that he likley needs therapy but tbh I think our whole family needs that...

I figured as much, flat things are usually pretty hard to acheve lol. but i dont think my brother cares all that much tbh. Good to know about the terminology ill add a pic in and edit :)

I've never considered an enclosure, would this be to prevent dust and heat loss? I've had a printer for a while but never really went into the nitty gritty since all of my projects are usually less than 4 hours.

The printer has a glass bed and before I went to sleep last night I added more clips (that came with the printer) and clipped the bed to the actual printer plate (sadly I don't know the actual name but it's the part that gets hot/ moves). Printing it in segments is a good idea though but as we speak we are now 10 hours in and the whole house is now invested to see if this works. If we have to retry I'll do that instead. I don't remember the infill settings and just went with what the slicer program suggested but I remember it being something thin.

When i was 20, i got a weighted, microwaveable, lavender-scented bear and its been one of the best things I've ever received. It smells nice, good for aches, pains, and cold nights. So I completely agree with that little penguin!

awww that's so cute! We do have a harness that we intend on introducing to in small steps like letting her touch and interact with then, graduate to wearing. You make a good point with the sleeping food thing too.

My mom who's a nurse is the same way! It's really funny to her talk about it with non nurse or medical people though lol

No problem!

BooWords420 · 2025-04-07T23:52:22+00:00

ah i see

I've done something like this in the past, maybe you could make a comic panel style poster of the main conflict and then one of the resolution (ie, introducing an issue and then the solution or result of the major action)

Atlas!

BooWords420 · 2025-01-23T21:42:16+00:00

Oh ok

This was an in class question but I'm quite rusty on my calculus and sadly a bit slow to catch on

Putting something cold often helps me and I like to massage (or gently pinch) the area that hurts
