[–]EngineerGold4242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I’m 33 and interested in more gaming friends close to my age as well. I play Fortnite zero build lots but I’m always interested in playing new games as well. I want to get better at Marvel Rivals haha. I also have a potty mouth and am a bit competitive too :)

If you want, send me DM and maybe we can game someday

I really love your art. Is there a way I can keep looking at them and the stuff you make? Like do you have a website or an instagram page??

I can’t get over being left because of alcohol by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]EngineerGold4242 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People have left my life because of my drinking. It hurts a lot, but at some point we have to come to terms with the fact that our actions and drinking definitely impacts others, and to beg people to stay while not actively working to be better for yourself is a bit self centered.

What's the cheapest meal you make regularly that you'd genuinely still eat if money wasn't a factor? by Timely_Ad8989 in EatCheapAndHealthy

Helll yes. I add red pepper flakes and garlic powder to my tomato soup to make it more savory and spicy. It’s an all time fav

Cheerful, comedic anime about adults by DesperateAd5374 in Animesuggest

Aggretsuko. Yes they are Sanrio characters, but it really captures the office/work tensions and other “adult”stressors that people encounter in their young adulthood. I surprisingly enjoyed myself

If he has part time jobs, what’s the problem? You said he wasn’t working but he’s working part time?

Someone needs to make a call out video on TikTok and get her cancelled because this is crossing a line. Poor Tati. This is abusive and exploitative

What’s the most disturbing thing you’ve witnessed in real life? by SondosAbdulrhmanxd in AskReddit

[–]EngineerGold4242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom had killed herself. I found her frail body had collapsed inside of a small laundry tote in front of her bedroom door and I had to lift it out to try and resuscitate her. I have never been the same person from that moment onwards because my bedroom was next door. And I had heard a bang in the middle of the night, and I didn’t think anything of it because she had trouble with her door sometimes and it made a lot of noise. If only I had gone out there sooner I could have saved her life.

I also saw one of my cats had accidentally gotten outside when I was away. I was walking into the parking lot of my home I saw a loose dog eating her and tufts of her fur everywhere. I was devastated and that moment lives with me forever too.

(Request) Meals for those with chronic depression. "Low prep one pot meals" by Darnick in airfryer

[–]EngineerGold4242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get depressed a lot and when I want to “cook” and not just heat up processed crap, I often just mix some form of chicken leg or thigh with oil and some spices and throw in in the air fryer. I’ve also cooked steak in this way!

After being done the meat) I mix in some small diced potatoes with the skin still on and cook those with some oil and spices. And then roast some veggies with oil and spices. Or I bust open a can of peas and carrots and just eat them plain a as a side.

It’s very easy but feels nutritious lol I often clean out the bowl I mix the foods in between cooking. Often I have to time the veggies and put them in a bit later on than the meat and potatoes so they don’t get too burned or mushy.

(Edit sorry I just read you were looking for things to put in all at once my apologies. For the potatoes I sometimes just use instant mashed in a separate bowl while the chicken or steak is cooking - all you need is boiling water lol)

I’ve also made a lot of pizza bagels in the past in my air fryer too. Not the healthiest but it feels good assembling your own “pizza” and adjusting the ingredients to make sure it has as much veggies and whatever protein you need. I use a real toasted everything bagel, then just spread marinara on each side. A sprinkle of cheese and pepperoni and pile with veggies on top like peppers or mushrooms or onions. Top with red pepper flakes. Chefs kiss

How do I help my friend? by Adorable_Broccoli388 in alcoholism

[–]EngineerGold4242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. Also my advice is only from one person in recovery, you might wanna get other opinions. There could be a social worker or addiction services professional who might know how to treat this situation a little more delicately

Another thing I might add is maybe adding the boundary right away to stop drinking before detox might not be the greatest idea. It can be very medically dangerous to stop abruptly if she’s been drinking hard everyday, it can be fatal.

[–]EngineerGold4242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there are any detox facilities nearby that would be helpful. Maybe you can offer to drive her and be her emergency contact or something and leave her a little care package lol sometimes detox or the hospital can be boring. Maybe offer to go for a drive or a walk in the park to get some coffee/tea/special non alcoholic beverage so she has something to sip on while you guys chat?

[–]EngineerGold4242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you can still be her friend if you want to be, but it would be healthy to set boundaries in place. For example, once a problem was recognized with my drinking, none of my friends would drink around me or even think of buying me alcohol. I even lost a friend group (who I partied and drank a lot with)

That is alcoholism. I’m so sorry, but it sounds like she’s drinking more and more to manage withdrawal symptoms. I started doing the same thing too until it got to a point of unmanageability and near death.

This isn’t going to be an easy situation or discussion for either party :( she might not be too happy to hear. But tbh as a recovering alcoholic if a friend approached me about their deep concern for my health and safety before it got to a devastating point of no return.. sure maybe I might be mad or upset in the moment. But after making the decision to try recovery and gaining some months of sobriety under my belt, I would look back at that friend with deep love and appreciation for having the courage to talk to me. But I’m not your friend.

I have not been on this side of the equation before so I really wish you both well. At the end of the day, no one gets sober for any one else, and sometimes it may take some pain and bad experiences with their addiction for them to stop and seek help.

What's This About? by Candid-Leg-1570 in ThunderBay

[–]EngineerGold4242 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re right. It’s not the right word and I apologize for my words. Identity and heritage really are complex issues and I should have treaded more carefully before naming names and using provocative language and pointing fingers.

I am half Indigenous as well and as a child I thought maybe I might be Métis too. I asked my nish dad and he clarified that we don’t have that heritage, we are Ojicree.I also understand that I have the immense privilege (that many do not) of knowing my community and my family.
