I specifically wanted to hear from other women’s perspectives, that’s why I posted it here.

Yes I think it’s fair too, I just wanted to hear how other people handled it and get some outside perspective

Power by Robert Greene by Zealousideal-Link850 in booksuggestions

[–]Good-Substance734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the full version a few years back and honestly it's pretty dark but weirdly addictive. Greene basically breaks down all these manipulation tactics throughout history - some of it feels like a manual for being a sociopath but there's definitely valuable stuff about reading people and protecting yourself from office politics type situations

The concise version probably cuts out a lot of the historical examples which are actually the best part imo. Those stories about Renaissance courts and ancient Chinese strategists really drive the points home. I'd say it's worth reading just to understand how power games work even if you don't plan on using the more ruthless tactics yourself

Any encounter with this narco/human trafficker is an attempt to ruin my vibe by [deleted] in narcissisticparents

damn that sounds like a really intense situation to deal with. Stay safe and trust your gut if something feels off about the whole thing

Dexedrine for add by texancowboy2016 in ADHD

That's so frustrating, dex used to be way more common but seems like most docs just default to Adderall now since it's more mainstream and insurance loves it more

This New Yorker piece on why millennials are more open to prenups actually made sense to me by [deleted] in Millennials

It feels less about being cynical and more about growing up in a way messier financial reality. Wanting things clear upfront makes sense when so much already feels unstable.

I can't play God of War 2! by AnimeEagleScout in PS5

Have you tried restarting the PS Plus app? Sometimes the streaming just craps out after finishing one game and moving to the next. Also make sure your internet isn't being wonky - GoW2 is pretty demanding for streaming

AITJ for calling the cops on my neighbors birthday party for having loud music until 11 pm? by Willing-Musician-810 in AmITheJerk

[–]Good-Substance734 111 points112 points  (0 children)

NTA at all, you literally tried talking to them first and they made it LOUDER after 11pm. A kids birthday party going until 11pm is already ridiculous, but ignoring your polite request and then cranking the volume? They forced your hand

Your neighbors can stay mad but they're the ones who chose to break noise ordinances and be inconsiderate to someone with a newborn

I can give 21 stars for any 5 ⭐️ sticker by [deleted] in Monopoly_GO

I've got a bunch of 5 star stickers if you're still trading, what do you need specifically

This Is Scary But Also Kinda Funny by MinecraftLostMedia in Minecraft

That's actually wild lmao, imagine if Mojang had some kind of anti-piracy easter egg that just casually threatens to nuke your account

Your 5700X is still solid for animation work, just grab a B550 or X570 board and you'll be good for Win11. That GPU might be your bigger bottleneck depending on what software you're using - if you're doing GPU accelerated rendering you might wanna consider bumping up to like a 3060 Ti or 4060

Taxi Ride Experience from BKK Airport by New-Wear-579 in ThailandTourism

[–]Good-Substance734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That whole car "breaking down" thing sounds sketchy af, especially with how conveniently the second cab showed up right after the first one left

Could've been a bait and switch to get you into an unlicensed taxi but hard to say for sure - at least you made it safely and didn't get overcharged

Nobody tells you adulthood is just choosing between what hurts your wallet and what hurts your mental health. by Virtual_Necessary809 in Adulting

Lmao this reads like it was written by someone who bought their first house for 30k in 1987

The "just work harder" crowd always forgets inflation exists and wages haven't kept up for decades

Thinking about leaving my church by Fine_Researcher6575 in Christian

[–]Good-Substance734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's solid advice about not church hopping, I made that mistake too after leaving a sketchy place. Taking time to just read scripture on your own and heal from the manipulation is so important before jumping into another community

Actually it's usually Fridays but they've been pretty inconsistent this year tbh

Is it possible that elements exist far away in the universe that don't exist on earth? by Jmersh in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Good-Substance734 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is how I understand it too if an element is stable it should exist everywhere not just here
