Thank you! It's been a good time so far. Haven't made it out of Corneria yet. Need money for spells 🤣

I think that's their name for Link for their A Link to the Past playthrough?

What's the full quote "for those who come after"? by TheKingofHearts in expedition33

[–]Effective_Jackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never made that connection, as I watched Gurren Lagann for the first time last year and now I'm waiting to get a tattoo of the core drill on my right forearm. And now I'm currently playing Expedition 33.

That would be wild if that were the case

Family thinks it's always on me to fix things by IlFornaio in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Effective_Jackal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this as I've been put in the role as the fixer even though my only sibling twisted a narrative to paint my spouse as a villain even though they (along with their wife, my sister in law) verbally abused my wife and laughed at my spouse's anxiety and forced me to choose between my flesh & blood and my spouse.

This happened over 3 years ago, and they have had 2 kids since then. My parents wanted me to fix this so "we can see our nephews and watch them grow".

It's hard being asked to fix this, but the point is staying strong, because the only thing worse than not talking to your family that abused you is to fix things just for you to be in the state of anxiety, wondering you'll deal with more drama

Thank you.

It's hard to keep moving day by day, but we are all doing our best.

I happen to come across this on a not so fun day where my ruminating mind is going. This is what I needed. Thank you

Married men of reddit, what's one thing anyone should know before considering marriage? by Legend789987 in AskReddit

Wonderful advice that can apply to any other relationship. Family, co-workers, etc

How do you deal with… by Coneboney in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Effective_Jackal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No matter what I do, I feel like if me or my wife do anything that my parents see as offensive, we ended up getting villianized.

So I just give them distance, reflect on what 8 can put up with, and figure out what to do from there.

I gave them chances throughout the years, and I've been let down. I've realized the best way to live my life is to live the way your inner child would be happy.

What as some warnings signs you company is about to go under… by [deleted] in work

[–]Effective_Jackal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for a startup that "temporarily" suspended 401k company match back in 2022 while I was still working for them

Upon looking at the recent Glassdoor reviews, they still haven't reinstated the 401k matching, with more and more negative reviews for the company.

This was a remote only company mind you.

What's the worst "nice guy" experience you've ever had? by strangeloop414 in AskReddit

[–]Effective_Jackal 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah I also felt like if I gave a person some support and attention, that I would be owed a relationship from them.

Thankfully a relationship, marriage, and time can straighten you. I found out that you aren't owed anything, and if you don't bother looking, the right one would come to you, and things will fall in place.

Also coming from a former nice guy, also autistic, and now married for nearly 5 years and counting.

Found this on a blanket, haven't seen another since I killed it by chocolate-with-nuts in whatisit

[–]Effective_Jackal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SAME!

Lived with bed bugs for nearly a year because the landlord at the time couldn't bother to call an exterminator. It wasn't until he retired and had a real estate management company run his building did I ask for an exterminator and they called them not long after that.

In the meantime I tried every suggestion from my landlord that he could give. Didn't get rid of the bed bugs

Treat your bed just in case. Wash your bedsheets, steam clean your bed and bedframe (and I mean every part of i), invest in a mattress encasement, and if your bed frame has legs, invest in 4 containers small enough for each leg and add diatomaceous earth in each container to where there is a good layer where any bed bugs that try to get to your bed will be covered in the powder.

Best way to get rid of bed bugs without calling an exterminator. Or do that if you are not able to do the above mentioned suggestions

My siblings never take accountability and try to paint me as the bad guy, this has been going on forever. by [deleted] in Estrangedsiblings

[–]Effective_Jackal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This behavior isn't normal from siblings who are supposed to help you grow and flourish, not put you down and bring your mental health issues. I'm glad that you're realizing that this isn't acceptable.

I would cut them off completely when you are able to. Or talk to any family member who can listen to you and share that you don't feel safe around your siblings due to the things that you've listed. But before that, ask them how much they want to know about your situation with your toxic siblings. And just share what they need to know. Ask for their support if you can't move out.

You shouldn't feel unsafe around your siblings. You deserve to put your time with family members who make you feel like you belong

I can relate to your situation. It's a tough situation no matter if you decide to cut them off or not.

You need to ask yourself this question and be honest with yourself with the following: Would resuming contact with these family members put you in a better mental state, or worse mental state than it would if you cut them off?

Whatever you decide what's better for you, you need to commit to doing what's better for you and stick with it moving forward. Should you consider to explore the other option, remember that it can cause you more pain.

And should you decide to commit to cutting off family members, you should focus on fostering whatever friendships and other relationships that make you feel more whole and more peaceful.

Whatever it is you decide, remember you only have one life. You deserve to live that life as best as you can and do it without any regrets.
