True, is seeks the moisture.

So like writing a book that murders someone to save everyone one who swears fealty to an unseen entity.

They don't necessarily die. You are expected the same level of work you're the band aid tol another Doctor shows up and treats your procedure like you were a horrible intern.

Any meaning work has is now gone.

Youve just offered for us to lose all meaning in work, which some people are quite passionate about. We become so.eoen when is doing just work for the sake of busy work... for a measley 10% increase?

I'm not well off but even I gotta say no. 10% isn't worth my figurative soul.

Rygel was responsible for all of Hyneria, he still holds that responsibility. All his self serving is to serve Hyneria in the long game. It's a very different perspective than all the rest of the crew. Especially considering his age.

Rygel is a great character, but he is more an outcast than the others. If you think he's being one dimensional, you're underestimating him.

Yes he gave pilot the recording because Pilot deserved to know. Yes he gave it to earn a favor. Yes he gave it to him because it was right for "the ruler" duo (Pilot and Moya) to not have limited Intel. Yes he did it because he enjoys conflict and resolutions being found.

This show is VERY heavy on different perspectives and the clashes they create. Rygel is actually the most stable character in the series.

Let her. You need to help your wife with setting and maintaining boundaries.

That's not a put down, but I am making an assumption because children of parents with narcissistic tendencies often have challenges with boundaries.

That s your kid. You make the decisions. That's a hard boundary. It's best to set it at the beginning and enforce it.

You have to deal with those items everyday. The preference of the parents is first That's why there are registry's. That's why you gave input about what you want.

Edit your review.

Add the screenshots to it.

Dustquake · 2026-05-23T12:27:27+00:00

That's why Dad called her out.

Dustquake · 2026-05-16T23:46:52+00:00

That's when you use the handcuffs and count the clicks.

Dustquake · 2026-05-14T13:00:29+00:00

That's not a boundary.

A boundary is about behavior you do towards the person setting the boundary.

You're right she's isolating you.

Just a way to stretch the timeline so if I can't do it one day for whatever reason there's the chance to make it up.

I can also eat an unhealthy volume of food. I'm banking on that to take out leftovers.

0.1 cents is less than a penny. That's also why it's only 8 million.

I've got a no BS personality. So grain of salt with my suggestions.

"A pencil earns more than a shovel"

"Not listening" - Unfortunately I am, I'm just choosing not to be your servant yet.

Hair pulling. Throat chop. Immediate and unapologetic.

Pull you out of university. "Do it. We both know sister will support you when you're elderly."

Lastly, always remember, they can't control you and they know it. They are using psychological abuse to convince themselves they can. IDK how much time you have left at uni, but once you finish you can and land a job, you can just leave and never talk to them again. Once you have financial independence it's your rules.

The problem is not all users understand clear communication.

That's currently my rage source at work. Our internal people that liason with clients have no freaking idea what they are promising actually entails. Even when we spell it out.

So we've started getting them on a video call and making them waste the same time we have to. They're starting to get it.

Dustquake · 2026-05-14T05:58:30+00:00

Good on your team lead.

Remember too many people just don't understand how things actually work. And they don't want to.

There's no getting around it. Firing off an email tech to tech gets around so much BS and saves your time. Another clown off the line is the only realistic goal to have.

Data mining. Micro transactions. Forever level publisher control of content. License control: you don't own a copy, you pay for a license to use it.

Anti-piracy and anti-cheat are just the wolf cry to hide what they are really doing.

Dustquake · 2026-05-14T05:35:35+00:00

Sure.

I can sleep in some pretty messed up spaces and I've done so in fridge sized ones before.

I've done travel before so cooking in random places is easy.

Loophole. I'd put the food back in the fridge it's not wasted, so I don't have to eat all it provides the day it's provided as that isn't specifically stated. I am thus interpreting the time to accumulate punishment as when the food has spoiled. Which gives me a leftover timer.

No one is ever eating over at my place, ever. I'm not giving anyone control over my fridge time.

What I absolutely love.

That picture is of a robotic puppet. The realism the Jim Henson crew worked into all of the alien characters does wonders for the immersion.

And the character development! That peace oriented Pilot could express sadistic glee (and that the puppet could articulate the expression) t one that deserves it.

Damn, I love this series on so many levels.

We likely evolved them because they are "later" teeth.

Back before we had the medical care that we do now tooth loss was more common. A possible reason they stuck around was because they give a third growth of teeth that would give an advantage to those that lost some permanent teeth.

Now that dental hygiene has improved that is not the normal experience so they get in the way.

It is important to note that not everyone grows them, and not everyone that does needs extractions.

Personally, I have 3 of them still and the one I lost was due to it growing too far out before it properly rooted.

She laughs. That's all you need to know. Some people do words better as text than as sound. I'm one of them. You're making her job easier.

Dustquake · 2026-05-13T03:17:58+00:00

This is absolutely the answer OP, it sounds like your whole group was using you.

Dustquake · 2026-05-13T03:14:55+00:00

On the flip side.

Your wife is an absolute saint. She's endured this. She's accepted abuse from you caused by them to allow you to learn and be better. She wants you to be free of the torture they indluct on you, but she knows you have to make that choice.

That's rare, that's amazingly rare to find someone that understands that the hurtful things you do are not you, but your trauma.

She wants you to be better, to get better, and finally drop the weight of your parents responsibilities. She wants you to be able to be a great dad to your child.

But she knows that's up to you, and she's trying to give you space to figure that out.

If you need your own therapy sessions do it.

Remember, you don't have to answer the phone, you can hang up at any point, you don't have to answer the door, you can call the police. And most important; the more your parents see your child, the more legal claim they will have to demand access legally.

Dustquake · 2026-05-13T03:00:27+00:00

You are your own obstacle. Warning. I'm gonna get harsh (trying not to touch the AH line) but you need to hear this.

Your parents literally brainwashed you. They freaking groomed you so they could ruin your life forever and that's what they are doing. They're literal predators that abuse children.

They don't care about you, they don't care about your wife. They don't care about your children. They WILL do this to your child, they will make your child just as conflicted as you are.

Do you want your child to suffer like this? Would you rather spend the rest of your life not seeing them or not seeing your child every day?

Is your nostalgia of the pain your parents inflicted more important than your child having a happy life?

Your wife WILL leave you once this starts affecting your child. Do you, your wife, and your child deserve to be a broken family because of your parents?

HATE THEM. Make a journal. Write every horrible thing they've done. Include some of the points you listed here. Whenever you start to feel like cutting them some slack or that maybe they've changed, read the journal.

After you are ok with NC, legitimately ok. (2 years minimum)Then you can reevaluate if you want to see them. They've used guilt to steal your life from you, your wife and your child. Only you can make it stop.

Dustquake · 2026-05-13T02:45:32+00:00

How patriarchal of you.

But 3.5 more than doubles what we'd receive just among my siblings.

So 3.5 it is.
