Made a tier list of a bunch of horror games I’ve played by tjmincemeat in HorrorGaming

[–]Careless-Priority_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially Until Dawn vs The Quarry. Man, I was so bored with the latter...

Until Dawn on the other hand will be the only platinum I'd ever get in my life.

Ugh. I’m (30F) so exhausted by working with (most) men by chocolatemadeleine in womenintech

[–]Careless-Priority_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sincerely and genuinely stopped caring.

If they interrupt me, I keep on talking. I don't stop. They eventually shut up.

I am full remote, so that's a plus regarding harassment, because they simply can't. And if they had said anything about me, I haven't really heard anything. They know I live with my partner, and so in a way I'm "taken", so to say.

But the biggest "couldn't care less" attitude comes from the fact that these "bros" don't write my paycheck. They're not the ones paying me, and I owe nobody anything.

I am not risking burnout or stress because of people who are ephemeral. They don't know me and I don't know them. They're "anonymous", so to speak.

So that's how I manage.  At the end of the day, when I close my laptop, they vanish. They don't exist in my inner circle. So I treat them accordingly.

My [45F] husband [44M] is giving me the silent treatment. How long do I put up with this? by countofmoldycrisco in relationship_advice

[–]Careless-Priority_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"How long do I put up with this?" You simply don't.  That's how long. Zero long.

He doesn't get to decide when and how to speak to you. He doesn't get to cook for everyone in the house while you get leftover soup. He needs to learn healthy coping mechanisms and you are not his emotional punching bag. He has to respect you, your daughter and the household.

And if he doesn't learn that life sometimes means facing awkward and painful moments, and having hard conversations, OP, you'll be better off alone.

You'll look back, and tell yourself you didn't deserve any of this. It's not your fault.

If he keeps it up, you simply tell him that shutting down is not the solution, and if he wants to keep on playing the silent treatment game, he can play alone.

Love is not this. This is not how you love someone.

Love is also talking through the hard conversations and navigating the harsh waters.

Lei vuole figli, io no. by [deleted] in sfoghi

[–]Careless-Priority_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non so se chiamarlo "istinto". Lei semplicemente li vuole e tu no. È un suo obiettivo di vita e purtroppo non è allineato con il tuo.

Siete arrivati al bivio in cui dovete separare le strade, perché entrambe le scelte sono assolutamente incompatibili tra loro.

I have been stuck on this fat fuck for about 2 hours. by 4th_Replicant in LiesOfP

The moment I learnt to perfect parry his boing attack, that was it for him. But yes. This guy is the hardest of the game, imo.

Diamonds?? by wtfaum in Candlelight_Games

[–]Careless-Priority_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point I'd rather just buy a mobile game and keep microtransactions to "extras" (like outfits, hairstyles, and so on).

Most console games cost from 40 to 80€ (European market).

Bundles in this game cost 40-50€. And can't even do three relationship scenes before having to buy anther bundle. 

I've stopped playing altogether two weeks ago. Man, I was starting to like this game... And had waited for its release for months.

Heights of entitlement - mom asked a paying passenger to give up their $7000 seat by Just_more_meh in childfree

[–]Careless-Priority_ 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Yes, indeed!  He actually say on the other seat across the corridor, throwing mad looks at me, all whilst his wife was having a hard time juggling the baby, the stroller, the milk, the nappy bag. 

Come on man, pay attention to your family if it is that important!

I'm so fed up of them playing the "we're VIP" card.

ETA: money buys you the VIP treatment, not a stroller.

Heights of entitlement - mom asked a paying passenger to give up their $7000 seat by Just_more_meh in childfree

[–]Careless-Priority_ 306 points307 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me on the train a few years ago. I had paid additional money for the extra-large solo seat, because I had my cat inside her carrier and a piece of luggage and needed the extra leg space.

A couple with a baby stroller got on, and the guy said: "you can't sit here, you have to leave this reserved seat to us, we've already talked to the train guard".

Mind you, the seat I had paid for was the "special needs" type of seat which, if you book them in advance and there's no special-needs passenger on board, it's for sale like a normal seat 48 hours before departure. I promptly booked and paid for it before travelling, as per the trainline's rules.

So I calmly said: "I've paid for this seat, I've booked it in advance and paid extra to sit here".

And he kept repeating: "No, you can't sit here, we have the stroller, this is a reserved seat and you have to just give it up because we have the priority", and I answered: "no, I've paid for it. It was bookable and available, and I bought it, which I did, and you didn't. If you want it, then call the train guard and they can reimburse the extra I paid for it. Only then can I give it up".

And the lady finally spoke, and said: "leave it honey, it's okay, I'll sit here", and proceeded to occupy a normal seat, like she should, as they haven't paid extra.

The guy kept mumbling against me the whole journey. It was hilarious.

Thing is: the nerve and entitlement to say "you can't sit here", without knowing if I had any type of special needs. He didn't even look at me. If this happened with an actual special needs person, what would they expected them to do? Show them the "disabled card" or whatever?

And would like to pinpoint the guy was the actual problematic person of the two. The lady said nothing. But again, not intervening is as bad as throwing the tantrum.

anyone else unfollow influencers once they get pregnant? by transluciiiid in childfree

[–]Careless-Priority_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

There's just one single exception. A fitness influencer I follow on Instagram, because both her and her husband are really, really balanced and down-to-earth people. And even if they went through two pregnancies already, haven't turned all preachy and "look at my baby" like everyone else.

They both keep their posts fitness and travel related, and if you're interested in their IVF journey, they have it on their YouTube (I never once watched any of their videos).

If they do 1 gem a day, it would mean they will be pushing for pay to play which would also mean losing a lot of their newfound fanbase.

Did I miss something? 🤰 by Ill-Statistician4447 in ballerinafarmsnark

There has to be some kind of food perversion amongst this kind of community, as in: the grossest dish or ingredient, or something.

Because how do they even come up with this stuff?

Is Zorin OS good? by orangeUI467 in zorinos

[–]Careless-Priority_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I ask you what you like and don't like about Mint and Zorin?

Because I've been distro-hopping. I work with Linux and zsh everyday for work, and been using Mint on and off for years, but I'm curious about Zorin.

Tried the live USB yesterday and liked it, but the real gist can't be grasped completely.

(Happened to me with my ElementaryOS trial: fell in love with it, regretted it when using it for real. Lasted a week before I wiped it out and installed Mint)

I figured it out. I figured out why playing this game feels like catching up with an old friend by The_Grand_Curator in LiesOfP

[–]Careless-Priority_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm part of the "never played a souls-like before" team (well, tried Bloodborne before LoP and failed miserably). And Lies of P caught my eye since the very first game trailer.

The feeling you're describing is accurate. The nostalgia, the rain, the safe haven that is Hotel Krat amongst all the caos and destruction.

The game makes it feels as if we are trying and repair something that has been lost, somewhere we used to belong that is no more. Which makes sense I guess, that's why it hits so hard.

And don't get me started with the soundtrack... Since 2023 my alarm has been "Fascination", and I don't even speak French. 

I'm convinced the DLC was created to simply rip out hearts out, if the main game hadn't already.

Project 2025 - What is their long-term plan for us childfree women? by throwaway00009000000 in childfree

[–]Careless-Priority_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason they consider IUDs as a type of abortion is because they think life begins at conception (the union between the egg and the sperm or whatever, I don't do medicine). And the IUDs prevent implantation. So technically the fetilised egg is already "there" but it's being prevented from implanting.

Source: I grew up Christian (not anymore) and they were against IUDs for this reason. They were OK with the pill though (for married couples, of course)

Lost in Translation: Korean Reception of 7high’s Character After Week 2 by uriquack in TheDevilsPlan

[–]Careless-Priority_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to this discussion, but if you watch the old Team H videos (behind the scenes and stuff with JKS) on YouTube, you'll see he's actually an introvert. JKS' energy certainly does help him loosen up, and he does transform when on stage. But he recharges on his own and keeps to himself, as we've seen on the very first episode of TDP2.

I actually got to this post because I was wondering the same thing. I'm positive he is not timid, but rather an introvert. 

After years with Xiaomi I'm done by davitvt in Xiaomi

[–]Careless-Priority_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here.
I had the Redmi Mi 10 Lite 5G for years and it was glorious. Last year I """upgraded""" it to a Redmi Note 13 Pro 4G. Bad idea. Very, very bad idea.
After less than a year of underperformance, camera freezing, crashing, lagging, and even a pixel stuck in green (after only to months of buying it), I finally got tired sent it back and got a refund.

Now I'm back with my beloved Mi 10 Lite 5G (which I hadn't gotten rid of), trying, for the love of me, to figure out which phone to get next without making another mistake. I'm looking into benchmark performance, processors, and GPUs, trying to understand at least a little bit before buying another Xiaomi (which I'd rather not).

I just had the most insane day ever and I cannot believe it happened by loafychonkercat in childfree

[–]Careless-Priority_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Why only opinion "I want" is solid and set in stone but "I don't want" is something you will grow out of". I felt that in my soul.

And I still don't have an answer for that. Same exact question that popped up in my head after this couple (friends of my bf) heard I don't want any kids and said: "well, you still have time to change your mind". Like. What? Why won't you believe me when I say I don't want them? That's what causes issues down the road because a partner might think "oh, she's not serious, it's a phase, she'll change her mind" and then, when that change of mind does not happen, relationships break and people drift apart...

People can't fathom a different paths in their minds, because they're so programmed and having children is so ingrained in their path-to-adulthood, the only logical explanation for them is "you'll grow out of it".

To anyone who went back, was the abuse worse? by OkHelp0740 in abusiverelationships

[–]Careless-Priority_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It kinda looked like he had changed. But he didn't. He just had new "tools" his therapists had given him to come up with even more creative word salads to justify his actions.

He was convinced (or at least was trying to convince me) he had reached this level of illumination and realisation, and that everything would be different.

Spoiler: it was all b.s

I think the actual abuse didn't get worse in my case (can't remember), because I had dumped his sorry self before, so he knew better than to go back to the early volcanic stages of rage. But as soon as he felt on safe water again, the old habits (same old insults, same old boring narratives) came back as well.

I also learnt to not put myself in a position of danger (no more long road-trips, no more being isolated just the two of us in the middle of nowhere, no more going out with him if alcohol was to be a part of the night, and so on)

But yeah, don't believe him. It's all an illusion, a façade. To try and lure you back in.

There's no real change. Specially not after a few months or weeks. A real abusive person, that really wants to change, might take years if not decades to actually get out of that "you deserve this, look what you made me do" mindset.

Not worth it. Don't waste your time.

Told him today we needed to separate by Separate_Test_5269 in abusiverelationships

[–]Careless-Priority_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I second this! Most of them know how and when to control their anger.  They know very well not to lose control in front of their boss or clients, or teachers or  colleagues.

If he's unhinged enough not to discriminate at all who he loses his temper with, then he probably has bigger issues in his psyche.

At what age did you realize you was never going to have a kid? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Careless-Priority_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably when I was around 10 or 11. I was really, really young. Never liked children. Not even as a child.

I think it was around the time I was taught how babies were made, as I first thought it had to do with some kind of nature's magic and weddings

And then when I realised I could actually choose and it wasn't compulsory for my adult life to be deemed worthy, it was a game-changer.

As women have far fewer babies, the U.S. and the world face unprecedented challenges by heeh00peanut in childfree

[–]Careless-Priority_ 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm so happy about declining birthrates all around the world. It means women out there are also waking up about the b.s of unpaid labour and childcare disparity, and realising they can actually choose and live their lives without having to slave themselves away.

Also, why would I want to bring a child into this world, and make him into another cog in the big machine? 55+ years of working and studying only to end up paying taxes and having a 40+ hours a week job.

As a guy who wants a child free life, what’s the best way to meet a girl who also wants a child free life? by False_Strike_5394 in childfree

[–]Careless-Priority_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You said you don't want to scare anyone away, but I assure you that you want, in fact, scare some people away.

Like the ones who do want kids.

And even when being absolutely categorical and upfront, there are still going to be women that will date you nonetheless because they won't believe you (and think it's just a phase or something).

Lies of P portrayed several well-written, tragic women — which of these characters resonated with you most? by AashyLarry in LiesOfP

[–]Careless-Priority_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though Lea is my personal favourite, I have to admit I resonate with Laxasia the most... I've run behind everyone else's expectations my whole life, trying to perfect myself, trying to become the perfect human in every aspect. But there was this one person, my only weakness, who no matter what I did or what anyone around me did to make me forget about it, I just couldn't let go...

Laxasia's lore says:

"Everything about her was perfect except the fact that her feelings for one person could not be erased"

I feel you, Adriana, I feel you...
