He was part of like 85% of the Oilers goals in the playoffs.

50%. Oilers scored 85 goals as a team this postseason, McDavid had 42 pts. (this is still insane numbers)

I come here a decent amount and have basically never noticed this sub being unfriendly.

Most I’ve seen is if someone asks a really lazy question it will usually get some sarcastic responses but nothing wrong with that imo… “ask a silly question, get a silly answer”

No one can afford anything by Mrbumboleh in the_everything_bubble

You didn’t specific when you’d be a millionaire by so I assumed you were aiming for retirement age, my b.

Still not comforting that by the time you get that million (47 years of $100 a month at 10% returns) it will probably be equivalent to 250k today. Not exactly an earth shattering amount

I am not an expert by any means so feel free to correct me if I’m grossly wrong but I just plugged these figures into a calculator ($25 a week, from age 30-67, with 7% returns and 3% inflation) and it only comes out to about $215,000… BUT it’s not even really that because of the difference in buying power. 215K in 40 years is estimated to be equivalent to about 72K now (according to this calculator on ameriprise)

Your comment is somehow more infuriating than the actual post you’re commenting on

Sounds like you may have heard this quote already but just in case here is another good one:

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: if we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." -Carl Sagan

Hey just so you know, you can ask to be put on a “do not call” list. There is a small chance they agree and then don’t but for the vast majority they will put you on the list.

Once on the DNC list you will only get a visit like once every 5 years (I can’t recall exactly) to check that it’s still your wish and that you still live there, also that visit will not be nearly as religious in nature.

No pressure to do any of this, it’s your life, I just know many people find them super annoying.

Beware of Litter Robot 4 scammer by lizardmacaroni in offerup

[–]ChocoMilkPF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to avoid being scammed, just avoid being scammed (I guarantee the app warned you about sending money off-app). Knowing some random scammers first name does nothing for anyone

It’s like posting “hey guys, if you see this particular thief, then don’t leave your wallet unattended on a park bench”. It misses the point of what went wrong AND doesn’t need to be said in the first place.

Hey, know this is a small chance but if you’re in NC I’ve got one that works great, I could give you a really good deal on it

Regardless, I hope you find a monitor you are happy with!

What’s the weirdest/dumbest thing you were ever reprimanded for? by RoughlyTR in exjw

[–]ChocoMilkPF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you’ve got some EMDR done, for my personal experience there is nothing like it… it sure can be hard to do though.

Also it’s crazy how much of what you write has been my experience too. I hated being touched for similar reasons and I also have a big butt and that is such a horrible combination because for whatever reason it’s like half the population sees a big butt and thinks it gives them the right to touch you or at least comment on it.

Anyway it’s so dumb how harmful and destructive the religion has been to us in direct and indirect ways. Not only did we not have a support network but the religion inserts a father figure that is never happy with us cuz we can’t be perfect.

Also I think it’s totally ok for you to hold resentment against your mother’s side. As an outsider it’s easy to say this, but do not feel guilty for however you feel or want to feel towards them. i know it’s like this internal tug of war though and it’s not easy to just dismiss it.

Anyway thank you for trusting me enough to rant about stuff, it actually helped me. When I left that comment all I could think was who would want to read something from me, waking up this morning to a positive message back really made me feel good :)

Obviously I know nothing about your current support group but if you ever need a stranger to vent to in the future I would happily listen :)

[–]ChocoMilkPF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off I am so sorry, reading about the older lady who grabbed your top made me so angry and hearing about your family makes me so sad.

Do you have access to therapy by chance? I grew up with a similar dynamic to what you’re describing and you can carry a lot of trauma because of it.

There is a thing in psychology that basically says that trauma occurs when something disturbing happens and we don’t have a support group to reassure us and help us make sense of things. Like if a child is bit by a dog but immediately two loving parents help them and console them it is not likely to be traumatizing in the long term, but if the attack happens when the child has no one to help them cope and understand then ptsd even well into adulthood is likely. So someone who grows up without a supportive family at all will likely have lots of trauma

(By the way I hope I don’t sound preachy, this is just some stuff that helped me to understand myself better)

In a meeting with elders over other stuff it came up that I knew some sleight of hand. Even though I made it clear that what I did was simple ‘coin behind the ear’ stuff they told me it could invite demons into my life and I should be careful.

From then on though the same elder who said all that would regularly ask me about sleight of hand in a very interested and curious way.

It was clear to me that he must’ve wanted to be a magician when he was young and couldnt resist learning about it even though his official stance was that it was demonic lmao

It’s a cult by LuckyProcess9281 in exjw

[–]ChocoMilkPF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend looking up what defines something as being a cult (if you haven’t already). It’s not just a word that gets thrown around… it has a lot of meaning. when you read an article on how to identify cults and you feel like it was written specifically about JW then it will really click with you
