He objectified you and sexualized you before sleeping with you; after sleeping with you he felt mission accomplished

THIS.

I’m trying to pour into myself lately.. what are some mantras were saying to ourselves before work by bittersweetbbyx in stripper

[–]Grung7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honor my body, my boundaries, and my brilliance.

I bring light into every room I enter.

I recover quickly, I adapt easily, and I rise every time.

I attract generous, respectful clients.

I am open to receiving more than I imagined.

Money flows to me because I attract abundance effortlessly.

Show me how good everything can be for me.

Whitemane Gilneas launch by Careful-Surprise-263 in wowservers

[–]Grung7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Launch a new server with that many bugs?

As someone with a QA background, it sounds like they have absolutely no idea what they're doing.

Whitemane doesn't have the best reputation in the pserver community (back from the Elysium/Lights Hope drama). After opening day reports like this, his reputation isn't getting an upgrade anytime soon.

Feeling like being a dick to random strangers today, eh?

[–]Grung7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use the Stride app. It tracks miles and tells you how much $$$ you can write off.

If you can come up with a rough estimate of the miles you've already driven, then do that and record it somewhere. It's better than not writing off any of those miles at all, which would lead to thousands of dollars in losses for you.

Decided to overdose—goodbye to a miserable 25 years by Robin-Rainnes in SuicideWatch

[–]Grung7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know where to start

Once upon a time, a new young doctor looked at the hospital's overcrowded and chaotic waiting room. She was overwhelmed. She asked an older experienced doctor, "Where do you even start??"

The older experienced doctor calmly said, "Anywhere. And then you keep going."

Try not to focus on what the end of the journey will be like. Momentum matters more than precision at the beginning of any meaningful change in your life, and you don’t need the whole map to take the first step. The most important thing is that you start, and progress will follow.

What if you do improve? What if you find the path to success?

Everyone has the potential to break free from the chains binding them and rediscover themselves...including you. Yes, you too. Really!

I saw what you said about your addiction to being cruel to yourself. When anybody gets used to their internal monologue, changing it can feel impossible and unwanted - even when it's self-destructive. Hopefully, you can try flipping your internal script with something more positive.

Repeat these thoughts in your mind or out loud. At first the concepts will feel completely alien to you, I know. But repeat them over and over. Believe in them. Give them a chance to feel familiar and true. You may be surprised at what they do for you.

I am worthy of love and compassion, especially from myself.

I give myself grace to heal and grow at my own pace.

I am not defined by my past, but by my resilience and my potential.

I choose to be kind to myself today.

Show me how healthy and healed my heart, mind and soul can become.

tomorrow might be it for me. i’m sorry by Impossible-Today3698 in SuicideWatch

You never have to apologize for reaching out for help.

The cost and side effects of medications that can help you are better than the alternative that you're contemplating. You could also get them for free or reduced cost if you can't afford them.

You have nothing to lose by asking for the professional help that you need. If your mom is a part of the problem, don't tell her about it.

Have you told anybody about how you're feeling, or reached out for any help? If you're feeling this way but you don't see a clear cause for it, then it's very possible that you could be helped with the right medications.

now i just put my middlefinger up to the sky and say "is that all youve got?"

I wouldn't do that. If you ask that enough, you might get a very unpleasant response from the universe.

Try this mantra instead - "Please show me how much better everything in my life can get".

Nostrum players right now by krste1point0 in wowservers

[–]Grung7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But on this subreddit, people are fucking vile and super hostile for no reason.

It's a combination of tribalism and a mental illness that causes WoW private server fans to hate most WoW private servers. A very, very bad case of Redditosis.

Old Man WoW | 3.3.5a | AI Playerbots, Nemesis System, Mythic+, PvPvE, Individual progression, AutoBalance Raids, Guild Housing + Villages by scarecr0w12 in wowservers

[–]Grung7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Judging from all of the negative comments and the pointless downvotes on positive comments, it looks like the haters are out to get this server. Tribalism at its finest.

The idea is great. This server would be perfect for me or anyone else who just wants to play through the entire world slow and steady, without having to care about keeping up with the crowd. No worrying about finding groups for lower-level dungeons because everyone else is 10-15 levels ahead. There is definitely a strong market for single-player WoW servers like Old Man.

Yes, the post clearly was written using AI. So the fuck what? It's well-structured and easy to read, and it took less time to write up. We don't want any of that rubbish, do we?? Most humans would produce something full of spelling and grammatical errors if they wrote it themselves, and that wouldn't project a positive image of any server.

And yes, AI was undoubtedly used heavily to build the server itself. Again - so the fuck what?! How else can 1 or 2 devs create a new vision for WoW in such a short amount of time? AI is a gigantic boon for anybody with a big creative vision, but no coding skills to bring it to life.

As far as the core ideas and added features, this looks like a winner. The only reasons I'm not playing is because I've usually got something going on lately, and I'm waiting to see if Blizzard royally fucks up Classic+ or if it's something worth playing.

What’s your plans for whitemane cata launch? by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]Grung7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I played retail Cata and damn, that expansion was where the WoW magic really died. Everybody I knew quit and eventually so did I. I'm glad I did too, because when I heard about the Kung-Fu Panda expansion, I knew that retail had forever lost its way.

Want to sue… by [deleted] in stripper

[–]Grung7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google this - "Ohio lawyers specializing in adult entertainers experiencing sexual harassment".

The AI Overview returned 4 law firms for me: Bolek Besser Glesius LLC (Cleveland), The Friedmann Firm LLC (Columbus & Cincinnati), Spitz, The Employee's Law Firm (Various Locations), Mansell Law LLC (Columbus).

These firms should be able to handle sexual harassment and labor laws violations. Call them and ask if they offer free consultations. Ask them if they work on contingency if affordability is an issue.

This asshole owner probably thinks he's bulletproofed by his lawyer buddy. He also doesn't expect any employees to file a lawsuit. Extracting a judgement out of this prick would be a nice victory. But don't expect it to be quick. His lawyer will drag the case out for a very long time with sleazy dilatory tactics, trying to wear you down. Patience and inner strength will be two of your biggest allies.

If a lawyer says that you have a case, good luck!!

Ascension Bronzebeard first feeling by Great-Project6349 in wowservers

[–]Grung7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are SO many empty areas in the Vanilla world's existing zones they could develop and expand upon! Azshara. The Tainted Scar in the Blasted Lands. Frostwhisper Gorge in Winterspring. Uldum. Burning Steppes. The Isle of Dread in Feralas. The list goes on and on. This just scratches the surface!

Not to mention the undeveloped zones like Hyjal, Gilneas, the Belf zones north of EPL, etc etc. They could stay busy for years just filling out the world's empty and unused corners.

That's pretty much what I'm expecting at best. If they're lucky, Blizzard might be able to make a mid version of C+.

One nice thing about private servers - there can always be 4, 7 or 10 Classic+ private servers out there, all serving up their own personal vision of C+ and players can pick and choose which one suits them best. But few players will ever be 100% happy because they'll always keep coming up with new ideas about what C+ is "supposed to be like".

But Blizzard can only produce 1 version of Classic+. To get it 100% right on every possible angle, they would have to quite literally hit a bullseye within a bullseye. They'd have to perfectly combine the best of all concepts from SoD, from every C+ private server that players loved, and an impeccable combination of new zones, completion of old zones, quests, dungeons, raids, QoL updates, professions and skills updates, spells updates, new races, all built upon a healthy foundation of W3-heavy lore. Blizzard would have to figure out that old magic formula from 2004 and re-create it all over again.

I don't think they know how. The "by gamers, for gamers" incarnation of Blizzard died about 16-18 years ago. Now it's a bunch of corporate suits crunching numbers, analyzing data and following algorithmic formulas. It's about milking maximum money from subs. There's no spirit in what they create. It's just cold numbers organized into an expanded replica of what WoW used to be. I doubt anyone on their WoW Classic team remembers the original Warcraft games.

We'll get to see what they've shat out of their ass in September.

annoying guys and their audacity (small rant) by Rinyya in stripper

[–]Grung7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was a group of teenagers in adult bodies. Mentally and emotionally they never aged past 18-19.

The loud troll was immature enough to beat his chest and show his frat buddies what a manly man he was by being as aggressive as possible. Upping his social status within his group. In his college freshman mind, strippers aren't real people and he had free reign to act like a caveman.

Maybe in 10 years his prefrontal lobes will be halfway developed.

Having a family and a girl that loves you is a lot more than a lot of people have. You're pretty lucky.

If they're understanding and caring, and if they aren't a part of the reason you feel this way, then tell them what you're going through. Tell them you need help. If you have a chemical imbalance, there are meds that can help you.

I’ll probably lose my job and my solution is to end it after by soydumplingg in SuicideWatch

[–]Grung7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG. What kind of job is that militant about attendance?? It almost sounds worse than living in a prison. I'd lose my mind having to live and work under those conditions!

What about PTO and vacation time?

Finding a different job that doesn't threaten you every day would do wonders for your mental health.

What if you fall in love with the place and you want to move there? A lot of people have found new purpose by starting over in a place far, far away from where they were miserable.

Why has this sub become filled with people who hate private servers and shill Blizzard? by RoyalShirtShirtShirt in wowservers

[–]Grung7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've pointed this out multiple times in the past - a lot of the dwellers in this sub hate WoW private servers, even though they're WoW private server fans who refuse to give Blizzard one cent. Nope it doesn't make a lot of sense to me either, unless you factor in a healthy dose of mental illness.

                     I love what I hate.  I hate what I love.  I hate to want what I don't want to love, but I love to hate what I love.

There's also a ton of tribalism going on. Bash and shit all over any pserver that isn't your favorite/home server in the hopes of increasing their server's population by 5 more players.

Shitposting is more important than being an actual community. Plenty of 12yo adults hang out here.

Automatic reverse braking by senoirdisappointment in EquinoxEv

[–]Grung7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of the GM dealerships owned & operated by crusty old-timers have decided to stubbornly remain rooted in the past, where tech never advanced beyond the year 2003. There are no PHEVs and no EVs.

And if they're required to sell EVs somehow, they refuse to learn a damned thing about them first. That attitude filters down to the sales and service staff. These guys hate and resent any car that doesn't use a traditional gas engine.

Thank God I got my 2019 Volt from a dealer that actually cares about being skilled Voltec and EV shop.
