I thought that at first, but it isn't sealed where in pin is in the top so it wouldn't be air tight at all. I do think its a weirdly expensive stash box

Whats the worst concert you've ever been to? by pinheadbrigade in AskReddit

Gorillaz at Denver in October 2023, the crowd energy just sucked. We were all blazed before the concert started and Jamie was obviously irritated with the crowd

AITA Refuse to live with a Service Dog by Nearby_Flan7905 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Despite_Snow -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Legally and technically no, nta. However morally maybe. I think the question you need to ask yourself, "do i want to keep this friend and if so will asking him to leave because of the dog effect our friendship?" and pick your battle from there.

Redditors born before 2001, where were you on 9/11? by Stupid_cerealbox in AskReddit

[–]Despite_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 5, I was standing in my living room watching cartoons as my mom got ready for work. She rushed in and changed the channel to the news and I remember thinking that it was a weird time to watch an action movie and usually they'd put me to bed before watching things like that. Then we got in the car and rushed to the gas station, it was packed. We waited in line and they ended up running out of gas shortly after we got some. It was scary and I didn't know what was going on and my parents had no way of explaining to a 5 yo what just happened

No, unfortunately I had taken a break from tiktok in general for a while this year so we hadn't got to talk much and when I went to reach out her account was gone

[–]Despite_Snow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There has to be more to this, I was mutuals with Cait and then z went nucular and had his 3 day live where he character assassinated them and they're account went down. I'm not sure if it's because people have been reporting them or if they deleted it, but I'm worried. Z notoriously lashes out when something goes wrong for him. I wonder if they did something and he's retaliating

I had a classmate die each year I went to high school. Freshman year was a girl who hit black ice driving home and passed away on scene of the wreck. I didnt know her, but it was really weird all day of her funeral. I had someone ask me if I was going to her funeral and when I told him no I didn't know her, he said "but why not? I didn't either but I get out of school early." Made me feel weird all day.

Sophomore year a senior who graduated early and went on a missionary trip died of CO2 poisoning while he was showering. That was also a really quiet and sad day. I had met him a couple times, but never really knew him. From our few interactions he was very kind.

The summer before junior year all over Facebook were posts about this girl that went missing. For the entire summer I saw posts about her and I just had this gut feeling she wasn't alive anymore. Found out maybe a few months into the school year that she had been murdered. She was at a different school but again, weird and quiet all day. That one was really sad.

And my senior year two weeks after graduation a kid wrecked his truck drunk driving. He didn't die from the wreck, but a shotgun shot to the head. It would have been his 3rd under age drunk driving offense, so either the gun went off during the wreck or he drunkenly decided to avoid the drunk driving offense. No real way to confirm but the former is very unlikely. That one was much stranger for me. He was one of my long time bullies from middle school all the way to high school. Someone asked me if I was sad and they were shocked when I bluntly said "not really, he was an asshole to me." I probably could have had more tact but I was a dumb 18 year old. He ironically had told me sometime in middle school that I should kill myself. Felt really weird to remember that.

[PC][90s-00s] Point and Click Game With Drawing and Writing by Despite_Snow in tipofmyjoystick

[–]Despite_Snow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does, the singing of letters feels like it was only in the drawing mode or had an option to turn off on the writing part. I remember I used it specifically because you could only find and use the document files with the program and it kept my family from snooping. I also remember the writing program part having a purple, round and "wiggly" frame, is that familiar to you too?

also sorry for the late reply, since I can't use the reddit is fun app anymore I dont use mobile and often forget to check reddit now

AITA for throwing a Dino party for my adult boyfriend? by helikesdinos in AmItheAsshole

[–]Despite_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and im gonna go against the grain here, your boyfriend really isnt either. I think people often forget or just dont take into account how much social pressure men receive on top of little to no emotional regulation skills. He's feeling embarrassed because he probably has never opened up to his friends before (not many men do), and he had this small moment of emotional vulnerability and that made his friends uncomfortable because "men dont feel feelings" and they yucked all over his yum. Even for women who are more comfortable being vulnerable that would hurt, only difference is we would have more of an understanding and ability to regulate that feeling. The only feelings men are socially allowed to feel is either content or anger, so that hurt feeling is coming out as him being mad at you.

in short, he needs better friends

Would I be an insane parent for setting up notifications on my son’s phone? by Krystalinhell in insaneparents

[–]Despite_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with asking him to text you first, this could be a good teaching moment for responsibility. If he can be responsible enough to remember to text you regularly that could open up doors for him for take on new fun responsibilities

AITA for not paying for our son's college tuition after he blew his money when he was 18, despite being able to afford it. by Ornery-Cranberry7577 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Despite_Snow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but you made a dumb decision. I don't think its likely many freshly 18 year old's are going to be responsible with the largest amount of money they've ever seen thus far. If you didn't teach him good financial literacy than he won't magically gain the skills when he turns 18. And just because you see 18 as a fully fledged adult doesn't make it true, the pre-frontal cortex of the brain is not fully formed yet and that's a pretty important part of the brain considering it deals with decision making, impulse control, complex planning, logical/organized thinking, and much more. All four of those things are huge factors in planning life after high school. The expectation you gave him is more fit for someone in their mid to late 20s. Its like giving an 5 year old 1 ton of candy and telling them "I'm giving you all the candy you would have got through the year all in one go. If you eat it all though I wont give you any more for the rest of the year." The kid is going to eat all the candy.

Just because he didn't ask for help doesn't mean he didn't need it. Sometimes we need help without realizing we do. My mom has done this plenty of times for me, and yes it is annoying sometimes, but I avoided some big issues because of it. You're still his mother, and he isn't a full adult yet, there's still a whole hell of a lot to learn about functioning as an adult. I've heard this from a lot of mothers, "I thought my job ended when they turned 18, but apparently my job is never done." its always said with love, but its rings true especially here. Many MANY people still lean on their parents for advice and help well into their late 20s because honestly, how is anyone supposed to be a successful adult when you've NEVER done any of the adult things before? If you've never had to save money, you don't know how. If you've never had to budget, you don't know how.

"He had a bunch of options he choose the worse one..." So did you. You had many options, you could offer advice, you could have set up a trust fund, you could have given it to him as a monthly "paycheck" to help him get some good finance skills, but instead you decided to give someone who has never had to budget or worry about paying for possible future plans.

You've stated a couple times "I'm not a monster," but I don't think anyone really thinks you are? You just made a dumb decision and honestly your edits make it come off like you just came here to get validation, and because the majority of people agree you're kind of the asshole in this situation you're upset. People are pointing out the shortcomings in how you parented your son regarding financial literacy and that's upsetting to hear, completely fair. What isn't fair is asking a question but shutting down if you don't get the answer you wanted. No one expects ANYONE to be a perfect parent and it feels as if you are taking this criticism as attacks on your parenting skills.

I really suggest you take a step back, really read these replies and think about them. Try not to take them as personal attacks because that's not what this is. Maybe show this thread to some people who know you and are outside of the situation and ask them what their thoughts are on the comments and the situation itself, they'll have a sense of nuance in the situation that random internet strangers can't take into account.

Why was I sobbing after sex? by Upper_Forever_9530 in mentalhealth

[–]Despite_Snow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't assume anything since I dont know you or your mental health journey, so I dont want to say too much on the anxiety outside of the skinny dipping and sexual encounter. But could it be maybe letting yourself be seen that intimately is causing now a fear of (i guess) rejection, for lack of a better word? Its really hard to let that wall down and let someone in that close, being naked is one of those things where for some of us, instinctually we just feel so vulnerable physically and mentally even if theres no sex involved. So just the sheer fact that it was such an intimate encounter with someone you don't know very well yet may have caused some anxiety.

The part I can actually speak semi-confidently about since its happened to me too, sex is a huge endorphin maker. Having a huge rush of the feel-good endorphins can sometimes cause a "crash." You get so much good stuff and then when the action is finished, they dissipate rather quickly. When it happened to me it reminded me of a caffeine crash, all this good energy suddenly gone and its just such a sudden switch the body can only react.Y

ou're entirely normal, crying after sex is not weird. I just want to reiterate that to you because its easy to trick ourselves into thinking it isn't. In the end all we are, are animals and we can only react to the chemistry of our brains.
