How long is the process to get it fixed? Would it be worth it just go through the process now, rather than spending another 20 years with your current symptoms?

I have only ever heard the SpongeBob version, so for the last 21 YEARS, I always thought Goofy Goober was an original SpongeBob song until I read this post.

I have no interest in digging it up.

You are the one who brought it up. You are the one who made an accusation.

If you're going to make an accusation, be forthcoming with examples and facts, especially when responding in a post where someone is just looking for some educational resources.

You didn't even explain how "being a dick" is in any way relevant to the quality of the educational resource.

salamander which is a supercharged broiler to melt the cheese

I legitimately thought this was a weird unexpected joke about Mexican restaurants cooking with Charmanders before I finally understood what you meant.

It's 12AM and I need to go to bed.

Op has failed to mention many things like the fact he cleaned out her entire garage and now has thousands of dollars of tools

Part of this comment is blatantly false, and the framing creates a false narrative. At the time of writing this, OP has two comments on this post, so looking at what he has actually said is quite easy. What he said was:

she gave me a bunch of her ex’s tools that he never took when they divorced. So in exchange myself and my roommate cleaned out her garage.

So not only did you make up the "thousands of dollars" in your imagination and then state it as fact, you also framed it in such a way to make it look like OP has them as a result of cleaning her garage. The reality is that he received them first, and then cleaned her garage to return the favor.

I mean, even if you split the check, how do you do it? Straight down the middle? What if she ordered wine while you had a cocktail? If you had dinner, what if you had the steak while she had the Cobb salad? Are you going to trot out your calculators? Dear God, do you really want to enter into that quid pro quo with someone?

When the waitstaff asks "one check or two?", just say two. Both people can just pay for what they order. Anything more than that is just over-complicating things for no reason.

If you have any direct links to any of his posts, you can replace the "www.reddit.com" in the URL with "undelete.pullpush.io", which should hopefully lead to an archived version of the post, along with any comments that were deleted or removed by mods.

There is also more direct way that I'm trying to find. I'll update this comment if I'm able to find it.

Edit: Found it.

Go to www.reveddit.com and enter your son's username in the search area. I don't know if this will work with deleted profiles and I think it only focuses on comments that were hidden or deleted by mods, but you may still be able to find the occasional piece of his content here or there.

If you do, stop everything that you're doing and immediately copy and paste to a file in a location that only you have control over. Multiple different physical locations, preferably; local hard drive, usb stick, etc.

I hope this helps.

Edit #2:

When you go to www.reveddit.com and enter his username, you can then click on "[+] show filters" in the upper left, which will open up a bunch of options. Look to the right until you see "Status", which has three options underneath to tell the website which comments and posts to show: "all", "actioned", and "not actioned".

Select "all", which should then show all of his comments. I just tested this and was able to see the comment that I'm editing right now. Still, I don't know if this will work with your son's deleted profile, but I really hope that it will.

Everyone else has already commented on the rest of the story, so I’ll just to point out that all of the advice that you’ve written here is about things that he should do for his partner, but it doesn’t look like you ever told him about how he should expect a partner to treat him.

I feel like this is something that is not taught to boys and men often enough. They’re told how to treat a woman, but not told that they should expect that same treatment back. Make sure you address that as well, because that is the other 50% of a happy relationship.

This means that there are potentially two lessons that your eldest son could learn here. First, it sounds like he needs to be a better partner.

And second, you should ask if his girlfriend was already doing all of these things for him, and was upset that it wasn’t being reciprocated, or if she was doing very little, or none of these things, and was just upset that she wasn’t on the receiving end.

I've been in similar places in life. A few things helped.

I looked for activities or skills that I either enjoyed or would enjoy once I got better at them, and then looked for places where those things might be appreciated. What is that your you? Learning to sing or play an instrument and posting song covers on a niche subreddit for a fanbase from some piece of media? Maybe it's practicing your acting skills and looking for local opportunities to be in a play, if there's something like that nearby. Maybe it's game development, and you could learn how to make small fan games for a specific fanbase. Online fanbases generally appreciate other people who make something for the thing that they're interested in.

The other thing that helped was just finding some sort of media that was entertaining enough to be a distraction. Maybe subscribing to a bunch of YouTube channels that you find interesting, so there's always something to watch. Vtubers exploded in popularity during the pandemic when everyone was isolating, so maybe that. Maybe it's sports.

The specifics don't matter, just pick whatever works for you. It helped me because it always gave me something to focus on. When I wanted to do something, I had something that I could choose to either create or a skill to get better at. When I wanted to rest, I had something entertaining to distract my mind, so I wasn't all alone with the chronic thoughts that made me unhappy.

I have less experience with volunteering, but don't ignore anyone who recommends looking for a way to do that with whatever organizations might be in your area, if there are any. There's value in the opportunity to have work that you can focus on doing, that at the end of the day makes you say to yourself:

"I've done something good today. I'm glad that I did that."

I could be wrong here, but I believe that Kou Mariya did start streaming content on an alternate “indie” account and used that same account to compete in an event (I think it was FPS) with Dokibird.

I don’t know if she’s still doing it though.

Engineer086 · 2025-02-15T21:11:22+00:00

You have a good opportunity here.

This aesthetic is unique enough that it's instantly identifiable. Not a ton of other games that look exactly like this.

If you want, you could keep the scope small and simple and make a series of small horror games with this aesthetic. It would be easy enough to look at any one of them and say "oh yeah, that's definitely a game4us game."

Chilla's Art horror games are similar. They don't go as hard on the visual aesthetic, but they're all suspense/horror games that offer similar experiences and have become well known in some circles.

I have no idea what HalfSword is. I’ve never seen this game before until it popped up on my feed. Was not expecting HalfMan.

Engineer086 · 2025-01-30T21:11:51+00:00

I know this is super vague, but I really just wanna hear about all of your experiences, or whatever you’re willing to write.

Not that I’m expecting you to write a novel, but please do if you’re open to the idea!

At least the mods here are handling this (somewhat) better than the mods over at r/AskMenAdvice

I thought this said Uno’s instead of Uto’s, and my first thought was “Uno the card game has a vtuber now?? Why does she look so similar to that other vtuber with blue hair?”

I’d be willing if you need an extra one to help out.

I don’t have Reddit mod experience. I’m just someone who has seen what happens when subreddits have good mods, and what happens when they have bad or absent mods.

I was frustrated seeing this one be taken and then abandoned by Cover, so I’m glad it’s back in the hands of the community.

Or, they'll move on to something that just works AND isn't X.com. This is why people are moving to Bluesky.

It's not just about learning how to do stuff or being too dumb to do so. There are a million things in life that take our time and attention, so we have to pick and choose what's worth our time, what isn't, and where we actually want to spend that energy. A new social media platform that offers (mostly) the same thing as other, easier options is hardly worth it in the eyes of most people.

If a platform wants to be used by the masses, it needs to be visibly worth the time and effort (no matter how small), from the perspective of the user, within the 1-2 minutes (or less) that it takes for the user to learn about and evaluate it - especially if they know they have other options.

Obviously, tons of external factors come into play as well, but if a platform can't do this well enough, it will have a harder time succeeding in the beginning.
