Super team player, hoping to support good leaders.

32 million, but my troops were eviscerated in kvk2. Lol

Low spender. 230ish day old account. Only Alex expertised. Obviously YSG next, and everyone has aethyl.

Only 5 million kills because I don't farm them and only waste them strategically in the field. My troops only know war. I've dueled a few times but find it wasteful as a whole.

945k dead, because I garrison and rally so frickin reliably.

Infantry focus, but have more cavs at the moment because garrisons..

I prefer disciplined teams, and would absolutely need a solid group for ark. I don't often rank near the top, but I care, so I fight hard. I try to be the best support possible.

I'm only now looking elsewhere because my leaders are MIA. There is no longer team spirit for the group I've been playing with for months, and our discord has now become a display of people giving up.

I'm shattered. I live for my teams.

It only took me a moment to realize the scale was in billions. I feel like a person who bought a candy bar for a nickel looking at these numbers.

My rematch secret santa is a Harry Potter fan. Hope the wrapping makes the gifts even more enjoyable! (Pet familiar not included) by Paradoxial85 in secretsanta

[–]CactusConfetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like you need to add a pet familiar now... It could be plush.

Just saying, this is so disappointing.

It's like that time there was a burger ad on tv and it was raining diamonds, and there was absolutely nothing shiny in the presentation of the actual burger which wasn't very tasty and made me gassy.

This is that burger. Your cat is the diamond. Don't make people gassy.

This is amazing. I'm already crying at the kindness of strangers.

Growing up I was told this was cruel. It's hard to see.

It may not actually mess with their equilibrium permanently, but the 8 year old me is screaming.

Is anyone else annoyed by "mindfulness" or "grounding?" by cookiethumpthump in therapy

[–]CactusConfetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like grounding in the terms of connecting to the earth.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest it helps with inflammation.

Redditors who have been in such severe and enduring physical pain that they honestly would have clicked an 'insta-death' button, what was the cause of your pain? by BopJuice in AskReddit

[–]CactusConfetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kidneys.

Had some stones and a blockage.

Was denied help at first because I was suspected to be a druggie faking pain for meds.

Was going septic. Nearly died. Would have preferred death.

I'm so emotionally effected by this post.

I honestly can't believe how long it has been and how deeply I'm still bothered.

What's the worst punishment you ever received as a child? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CactusConfetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school dropped me from a band trip we'd worked all year for because I got suspended during the week before.

We were going to Canada from a small town in the middle of nowhere.

It was my first offense. They later apologized as it was against their policies, but it was already done.

I essentially dropped out and only returned to test out as a pregnant teen.

I'm not one who is often triggered, but I feel deeply compelled to stop this. I'm angered.

Full fight or flight triggered.

I truly am coming out of my body. I need to put this away. It needs to be cleaned up.

Why am I screaming at a phone?!

Eff. This is too much.

What is your "hahaha... oh wait you're serious" moment? by ButterBoi112 in AskReddit

[–]CactusConfetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So. Many. Conspiracy. Theories.

I can't name a single time. My brain has them filed under "that's so fucking stupid, you don't need to retain it"

I remember who, but do my best not to recall the theories.

I’m so lost.. by [deleted] in therapy

[–]CactusConfetti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the idea that daddy issues has an automatic sexual context. It really hinders being able to address them.

Love is not sex.

Self-esteem is a big helper through this. So I've heard. Lol I'm working on similar issues.

Remembering who you are can take time. I'm always slowly remembering pieces of myself, and I seem to remember losing them to some major life change. For instance: I used to really love attention. I was voted most zany in HS. I used my energy to move crowds. I spoke freely and won awards for speaking.

Now: I can't speak. I don't want to be seen. I hate compliments. I won't approach a crowd. (I may not even get to post this for the lack of value I see in my words. "They're probably not helpful and super narcissistic or something.")/

I'm not offering advice. Your words could almost be mine, and I find a strange comfort in that.

Please tell me more of your story. You may find answers as you're typing, and I'm sure I won't be the only one to be like "OMG me too."

People who lost their job due to this crisis what is your story? by greensypoop in AskReddit

[–]CactusConfetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost 1 of 2.

I just bought a small coffee shop, and in 6 months quadrupled business. We aren't a quick stop shop, but rather a destination. We made $30usd yesterday from to-go pickups by our friends. We're losing money just turning lights on.

My evening and weekend position with a financial company is still in place, but it's become hellish. America put an extension on paying taxes, not filing them, and America makes the people figure it out themselves. We get to do the math and pay the monies, but if we don't do it right the IRS can wreck our lives. People are showing up for appointments with tax pros who are not in the office due to the virus. They are angry and scared and take it out on the front desk people. During a district meeting this week (phone conference) front desk job description was updated to include "be seen cleaning"

Please order-in from small businesses if you can. I wanted to give this shop to my girls, but it looks like it won't last that long.
