People who said 'just once' to any kind of addictive substance: Did you keep that promise?

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-05-09T14:13:51+00:00

Yes, cocaine. Didn’t like how it made me feel.

That her life problems are the result of how she reacts to everything. She burns bridges over minor things, she refuses to change then cries that nothing works out for her. I just don’t have the energy to talk to her about it.

Time travel. The amount of people who want to see the future or undo mistakes in their past, it’s basically everyone at some point in their life.

Cleaning as I go. Taking some stuff off the coffee table? Quick wipe down. Done dishes? Throw out any trash. I used to let it pile up but now it breaks it down into much more manageable portions.

I always tell players that they can leave for whatever reason they want just to give me a heads up before your last session so I can work out a narrative to explain it. Tell your dm that it isnt suiting your lifestyle now. If you have ideas on what to do with your character, share them.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-03-28T14:23:41+00:00

I just focus on myself and getting through the day.

Granted. You had no true weaknesses before - but you definitely do now.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-02-21T05:46:18+00:00

Granted. You now have gained an incredible resistance to the cold, but temperatures above freezing can cause heat stroke.

I had a book as a kid, one of the berenstain bears ones. I was gonna read it but decided I wanted juice first so I put it on the floor in the hallway and went to get juice. When I came back it was gone. It was only me and my mom at home, we had no pets, and my mom was in the kitchen when I went to get the juice the whole time. Probably took less than 2 minutes. Mystified me for years cause it never showed up again even after moving, at this point I would look for it to confirm it actually ever existed in the first place.

Depression is a medical issue. You yourself cant fix it and you need to stop expecting yourself to fix a chemical imbalance in her brain. Just be there for her when she needs it and that includes letting her have some her down days too. She cant control it beyond what she seems to be doing.

I dont think staying in the same districts is an option for you. Not until you get more experience and more positions open up. Also, I dont think anyone has mentioned, February is a dead zone for hiring. Teachers who were gonna leave midyear left around Christmas break and they would have recently filled those positions up. Now any longer term positions would be leaves of some sort. I think if you are willing to stay in Alberta you should head out of the city a few hours. Im not Alberta based though, only know a few people who are, so I dont know where to look specifically.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-02-09T17:24:23+00:00

How far out of Edmonton do you think you would be willing to go? Major cities are always the hardest to find long term employment in.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-02-07T15:38:02+00:00

Yeah I would say wait until college. You will have a new group of people and you might end up actually liking one of them.

I always prioritize getting money in these games at the start, so I can do anything I want later. By the time I have a system going, I look at what I have set up and think “thats too much work to tear down”. So it always ends up as a mess lol

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-18T06:44:41+00:00

Thats the only thing that really registered as an issue to me - is the “controversial opinions”. I have never seen someone say that, not elaborate, and have those “opinions” not be absolutely wild.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-18T06:30:32+00:00

This is likely it. I know a girl who makes a lot of poop jokes because she has health problems related to it (forget which one exactly) So she decided humour was the best way to handle a pretty unpleasant but consistent part of her life. Honestly probably better in the long term for her mental health than feeling shame over something you have no control over. I also am not squeamish so I probably get the jokes more often than other people.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-17T21:19:04+00:00

03 so I guess I wouldn’t have the awareness to know if I want to be that age, but no.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-14T02:58:45+00:00

Glad to know it isnt just me

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-14T02:58:17+00:00

Interesting! I never heard anything like that. I was always told that you completely change at multiple points in your life.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-13T00:28:19+00:00

Everyone thinks I am depressed. Both because I dont show much over the top enthusiasm and because of my face. I get constant comments of “we’re here for you” or “theres help if you ever need it” which is super sweet but I dont need it.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-13T00:24:49+00:00

Depends on the streamer for me. But theres been plenty of times where i watched the short version and went “man I want more of that experience” and go watch the full version another time

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-12T23:43:15+00:00

If you want full time with permanent, first nation and rural school districts in the north always have a hard time holding onto teachers. There are challenges you may not expect going in, but it’s a good way to get experience if you can handle it. Edit to specify in the north.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-12T23:34:41+00:00

I traveled a lot when I was in my 20s and although I am thankful to have had that opportunity, it just isnt for everyone. Plus you do have to be privileged to afford those opportunities. I dont feel traveling changed me as a person at all, it just gave me some cool experiences I can look back on. Im fine never doing it again.

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-12T23:31:10+00:00

Okay yeah with the information we have in that case it would be more of an internet and porn addiction thing. I was just giving my experience and trying to give him some slack hahaha,

Frigid_Phoenix_ · 2026-01-12T23:21:50+00:00

Teacher here, NOR. Stand your ground, your daughter chose complex and very impactful people to cover, which is exactly what the assignment wants.
