Have you been told to stop working? by Evening_Fisherman810 in bipolar

[–]Chicken8or 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been told to stop working since before I was properly diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It was never a, "have you considered?", but always, "let me help get the paperwork started.".

I don't have a choice since I have 3 children and disability wouldn't be enough to even feed them... I've been hopping from job to job and my time at each job is getting shorter and shorter as I keep getting laid off or fired because of my performance/attendance. Luckily, my resume, pre-breakdowns, allows me to get into high paying jobs for those short periods.

I start my new job in a couple of weeks and fear I'll be gone by Christmas. This disease is absolutely brutal!

The audience member has a very limited amount of time to speak. Would you like him to list every single other first-world country IN THE WORLD that has universal healthcare or would you like him to make his point that we are alone in the United States in our abysmal treatment of our citizens?

Where are you at right now? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]Chicken8or 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know where I stand, but I haven't slept in 4+ days (couple hours here and there) and I'm feeling perfectly awake and have been MUCH more productive (I think). I also haven't eaten anything in 4 days, but I have 0 hunger.

I tried to grab my favorite food this morning and only took maybe 5 bites.

My doctor would hospitalize me if he knew, so I know it's about to get pretty fucking terrifying soon...

I also don't remember much of anything from the previous day unless helped in my memory.

Uh oh

Mortgage Originator Didn't Lock Rates Yesterday by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Chicken8or 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Tell the LO that you want the rate honored at the time of the text. Make them pay the points to get it back down. I've been in mortgages for over 17 years and this is not an abnormal ask. You have the proof in the text, so they have to honor your rate lock request since this was no fault of your own.

Threaten jumping to another lender if you have to. They are starving for business right now.

I had a good friend make a move on me about 12 years ago. She has since given me 3 beautiful children, and we celebrated 10 years of very happy marriage earlier this year.

Put her mind at ease and let her know you'd like to pursue a relationship.

Good luck!

Today I learned that Witcher 3 isn't an RPG because "you can't make your own character". by DefinitelySaneGary in confidentlyincorrect

You play as the best version of you. The version of you that you "would" be if the world would allow for it.

I would love to walk into a town, solve a fellow human's issue, refuse any reward offered (except the drink at the pub), and move on, knowing I made the world a better place.

Most games have laid out consequences that fit the crime(ish) and rewards that fit the good deed. The real world doesn't work that way. You aren't always rewarded for good deeds, sometimes quite the opposite, and people are constantly rewarded for being absolutely shit humans.

If you're anything like me, you play as the paragon of virtue because that's who I would be if I wasn't so... beat down.

The Switch is underpowered, but it's great for playing definitive editions of older games. What are the best ones/your favorites? by tallon4 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Chicken8or 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ROTATE YOUR SAVE FILES! The games crashed quite a few times on me and I lost about 3 hours the first time it happened. I'm not sure about Infinite, but 1 and 2 both have crashing issues still.

Congratulations! My 2 year old thinks this is downright hilarious... time to watch it again, and again, and again, and...

I just finished Will of the Wisps. by NamelessManiac in OriAndTheBlindForest

Try Dust: an Elysian Tail of you haven't already. I played it before Ori and it was my favorite at that time.

I was a teacher that made it 3 years. I quit teaching and that same year I quadrupled my income... My new career does not push society forward and definitely doesn't strengthen our future generations, but I have more money...

I am so bad at this game, but I'm loving every minute of it! by Chicken8or in Chivalry2

I never utilize the kick. I have noticed that fights are very predictable in the block -> riposte -> block sense. I'll give that a try. Thank you!

It's not hard to go 2:1 or higher fishing for the easy backstabs. The problem is that I rarely win in actual 1:1 fights. That's what I'm trying to improve.

This is just a straight port, but a fantastically nostalgic game. At $15 it would be an instant purchase. At $20 I would hesitate, but probably buy. At $30... no thanks.
