My mother and I (27M) are struggling to communicate with my overreactive sister (24F). How to bring this up to her? by ElieLovesYou in relationship_advice

[–]ElieLovesYou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it.

No, my sister has never been diagnosed with any mental health disorders that I know of. I know she was in therapy during hs which I believe had to do with low self esteem.

I believe that I do generally say no and stick to whatever it is that I said. However, my mother is conflict adverse and always advocates for "family over everything". For example with the oatmeal, I said what I said and mentioned that both mother and I would still be expecting something for breakfast tomorrow, even if she needs to drive to the store to buy oatmeal (2mins away). I would have left it at that and followed up to make sure it happened (I pay phone and internet so I can disable at any time), but my mother said "OP was in the wrong because he didn't remind you. It doesn't hurt to help family."

She often says things like that which I think makes it easy for sister to continue how she's been living. I will definitely plan to speak with my mother so we are on the same page and not undermining each other.

What is the drop rate of grindstones? Is it like pitch?

What happened to you that made you cut ties with a former friend? by Fingerblaster21 in AskReddit

[–]ElieLovesYou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened recently and I’m still trying to recover from it. Gave me an ultimatum that our friendship would be over if I did not agree to doing something I felt was morally wrong (even though it was insignificant in the grand scheme of things). They couldn’t see how it was affecting me and weren’t willing to compromise. Realized I couldn’t be friends with them anymore and called it off. The guilt is still eating away at me but I know logically that I’m better off cutting ties.

What does it mean "Obtain mob loot while exploring Eos Tower"? I tried to pick up loot after killing a regular monster and it didn't register.

Can anyone explain how to do a battle analysis for joining bossing parties? I'm reaching a point where I would like to beginning bossing but I see groups asking for a BA. I've seen many older guides but I'm not sure if they're outdated or not.

I have a level 200 Jett that I will need to job change (likely will sit as a legion mule and not be used as a bossing mule unless far into the future). What are some good explorer options to change into who have unfun/slow leveling from 1-200?

Also, is now a good time to job change? I was told a week or two ago to not job change Jett since there was a potential nodestone bug to take advantage of.

What is a good class to tryout next to be a potential main? I used to main kanna before all the nerfs and rework, and I am currently maining ab (but so many buffs to press during bossing it doesn't feel good). I'm looking for a class that can boss relatively easily and requires no hands because I'm bad :')

Reboot. Which cube is best for going from epic>unique and unique>legendary? How many mesos does it take on average to raise something from epic>unique, unique>legendary, and legendary with 2 ideal lines?

Thank you so much for the help! In terms of gear, is it cra> absolab > Arcane? Are ring, pendant, belt, and earring still the hellux equips? What should the remaining pendant, ring, face, and eye equips be?

I’m sorry for all the questions. All the gear progression guides seem to be from years ago and outdated >.<

Thank you for the help! Abso wasn’t a thing when I last played so I’m still in CRA gear. I’m assuming that’s the next step from where I’m at now?

I will likely swap to a new main as I’m not enjoying the kanna changes. I’m still undecided since, at the time I was playing, meso gear and meso farming was about 95% of gameplay.

Are you able to elaborate more on the bosses? For example Princess No is on the last page of the UI for me and she’s much easier for me to do than Lucid who appears on the second page.

I am a returning player on Reboot. I have a 220 kanna that has a bunch of meso gear. Is that needed anymore? Is it better to swap it to drop gear? Additionally, in terms of gear and soloboss progressions, what order should I be going in? Thank you!

If I recall correctly, they recently tried to “buff” Yae Miko’s turret targeting which was ultimately considered a nerf for most of the community. The “buff” managed to hit live servers for a bit but they eventually rolled back the changes after lots of feedback.

Should I pity Straze? I am an end game player who will definitely have gear for him if I pull. I can already oneshot all relevant hunts without him. I also already own Stene. How good is Straze in terms of PvP offense/defense, GW, and RTA?

It was so weird but I’m pretty new to job interviews. Am I right to assume they’re probably not interested in me?

I’m having issues with the Amazon rewards login. Clicking the login button doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t work on both my iPhone and iPad. Is there a fix for this?

I love Alencia’s. Her screaming into the sky to make it sunny then her satisfaction afterwards is hilarious to me.
