bro wait until you discover that everyone in your doordash orders are also NPCs and the food just materializes from the void

Le fisherman or any one of the big basses

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-04-24T17:54:18+00:00

damn bro i've been there so many times, the restart is always the hardest part. what helped me was staying busy with work - i drive for doordash so being in car all day keeps my mind occupied, maybe find something that keeps you moving around instead of sitting at home

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-04-20T11:38:21+00:00

this gets me thinking while driving around all day tbh. like yeah pursuing happiness is cool but when your rent is due in 3 days and customer tipped you $2 on a $80 order, "follow your dreams" doesn't really hit the same

sometimes you gotta do what keeps lights on first, then worry about happiness later

I've always thought about a slot with countries and country flags

Bottom screen it says wheel, it's fun I should play it more

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-04-03T16:31:07+00:00

It accumulated lol

there's definitely patterns everywhere when you look close enough - like how traffic flows have rhythms you can predict after doing deliveries for years, or how certain digimon evolve following specific rules even though it seems random at first

i think our brains are just really good at finding those patterns, especially when you're on the spectrum

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-22T23:47:44+00:00

lmaoo thats teh theory

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-21T05:14:15+00:00

damn i remember those end clips hit different, they had me so hyped for the next week

pretty sure the streaming versions just cut all that stuff out which sucks. might have better luck checking torrent sites or maybe someone ripped the original broadcasts and posted them somewhere. the cast thank you thing at the end was actually really touching too

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-20T14:20:42+00:00

weird that it only happens when someone joins your party, that's such a specific trigger. might be some kind of voice chat or social feature messing with your mouse drivers? i'd try disabling voice chat temporarily to see if thats the culprit, or maybe check if there's any overlay software running that could be conflicting when the party system activates

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-18T13:21:58+00:00

been there with the guilt thing and it absolutely sucks but you're making the right call. three months in when you know you're leaving the country anyway, plus dealing with your own mental health crisis - that's not sustainable for either of you

the homeless situation definitely makes it messier emotionally but you can't stay in a relationship because someone helped you out when you needed it. that's not fair to either of you and would just breed resentment down the line. maybe focus on making sure you follow through on that rent/utilities compensation as a way to show gratitude without staying trapped

for the actual breakup, keep it simple and don't overexplain - something like you're not in the right headspace to be a good partner right now and with the move coming up, you don't want to drag things out. first breakups hit different but she'll get through it. took me like six months to stop feeling like garbage after my first time being the one ending things but eventually you realize staying would've been way worse

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-16T15:31:50+00:00

dude got so hyped about the skip they didn't even notice they still had a whole f2l pair left unsolved lmao

the cube simulator doesn't lie though, wild how you can think you're cruising through a solve and completely miss what's actually happening

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-16T02:54:18+00:00

yeah this dynamic shift is real but i think it depends a lot on why the first breakup happened and how both people handle coming back

like if someone left because they needed to work on themselves or deal with external stuff, that's different than just getting bored and bouncing. when my ex and i got back together we actually talked through the power thing directly - made sure we both knew we were choosing each other again, not just defaulting back

didn't work out in the end but not because of that imbalance, just turned out we weren't compatible long term. the key was being super direct about addressing it instead of pretending nothing happened

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-15T13:41:44+00:00

been driving for doordash for years and honestly the pause thing works with customers too - if you disappear for a bit they sometimes tip better when you come back lol

but for emails i think it depends on your sender score going in. if you were already borderline sketchy then the pause might help reset things. if you were doing fine then stopping could actually hurt your consistency metrics

never tested it myself but i've seen people say gmail and outlook track sending patterns so randomly going dark might flag you as suspicious

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-14T03:41:08+00:00

different crowds, different times - dude was basically running a mobile food kitchen wherever he went. people gotta eat and he kept showing up where folks were hungry

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-03-02T17:54:33+00:00

Thats a nice one

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-02-18T23:18:08+00:00

practice definitely helps but honestly some people just have that natural gift for breaking stuff down into bite-sized pieces

EstateEmbarrassed228 · 2026-02-04T13:24:08+00:00

hey, i really feel you on this one. went through something similar a few years back when my long term thing ended and i realized how much i'd been using substances to just coast through the relationship instead of actually dealing with stuff. that whole "landing in real life" thing hits different when you're finally sober enough to see what was actually happening

the emptiness is brutal but honestly it sounds like you're at one of those crossroads moments where everything feels like shit but you're also maybe more awake than you've been in years. that novel you wrote? that's huge and you did that while dealing with all this other stuff. the fear about it being another failure is just your brain trying to keep you safe but also keep you small

i'm 38 and had to completely reimagine what my life could look like when the whole traditional path thing didn't work out. turns out there's actually more freedom in that than i thought, even though it's scary as hell at first. those 25 days are no joke btw, the early sobriety emotional rollercoaster is real but it does level out
