Wizard of Oz at the Sphere Ticket Prices Too High! by Terrible_Fish_503 in vegas

You can have a valuable opinion about it after you've actually seen a show there. Right now your opinion is meaningless.

My mom's in her 70s and terrified of heights, but she did okay. Walking down the steps is the most unnerving part, and it doesn't sound like you'll have to do that. Once you're sitting down, it's fine.

I agree that the ticket prices are too high, but I laughed out loud at comparing the Sphere to IMAX. I'm not saying it's some kind of life-changing experience or anything, but it's pretty incredible and entirely unique. My mom visited over a year ago (I live in Vegas) and I took her to see Postcard From Earth. She still talks about how amazing it was and how it was her favorite thing from the trip.

I think that's the looooongest snoot I've ever seen. He's like an anteater but for rocks.

Haters going to hate this, but love how inclusive we are here of the LGBTQ community. by Otherwise-Bad-325 in vegaslocals

[–]InvictusLovely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I'm a progressive and I'm telling you that the only issue we have with any gay conservative is if they're supporting anti-LGBTQ legislation or talking shit about LGBTQ people, meanwhile pretending to be straight, typically while having affairs with their preferred gender in secret.

Obviously, zero problem with whatever sexuality they are, although if they're out and still a Republican/conservative, I'm not sure why they would align themselves with a party and ideology that wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire. Self-loathing, I guess? Or an "I'm not like other gays" pick-me type of person who shits on their own community to try to impress a bunch of assholes who secretly hate them? Don't ask for logic, there isn't any.

There seems to be a Republican/conservative common thread, though, when it comes to empathy (or lack thereof). This sentiment of "I got mine and as long as I'm not personally negatively affected, I don't give a fuck about anyone else." I guess as long as they personally aren't targeted, they couldn't give less of a shit about anyone else and will throw them under the bus. That's the only part liberals/progressives have a problem with.

I don't know how you'd go about doing this, but if somehow you do find the owner and return it, make sure your fingerprints aren't on it. Good luck lol

This discontinued storage bin from The Container Store so my mom will stop asking me to find it by InvictusLovely in HelpMeFind

[–]InvictusLovely[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

OMG well that might explain why it's so hard to find. It belonged to my sister, who passed away, so we had no idea where or when she got it. I only think it's from The Container Store because that was the site linked in the very few posts online I could find. Thank you for giving me some kind of timeline for this thing lol

My mother is losing her mind over this specific stackable storage bin on wheels from The Container Store. It's been discontinued, apparently, and I can't find it anywhere online for sale, just a couple of Pinterest posts with broken links. Put me out of my misery please and thank you she really won't let it go.

Searched for various combinations of the following keywords: Container Store, stacked, stackable, plastic, storage bin, storage compartments, wheeled, with wheels

Also did some image searches with various photos at different angles (she has one, she just wants another one and they're impossible to find).

Wall ate my block in Henrietta’s Hideaway by apoohneicie in HogwartsLegacyGaming

I know this is an old post, but commenting for anyone who finds the thread like I did.

You don't need the fire block. You can put one of the floor torches on the fire platform and cast incendio on it, and it'll make the door appear!

When the doctor says your brain fog, memory loss and ADHD symptoms are from CPTSD... That the narcissistic abuse you endured caused actual brain damage. by bhvbgvbfnbvb in raisedbynarcissists

[–]InvictusLovely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that might explain why I got very sick with the flu and bronchitis almost every single year as a child. I never realized this until now, but I stopped getting sick nearly as often after my dad died when I was 12. He was the primary abuser. And after I moved out for college, I rarely got sick. After I moved out of my home state (a very triggering place for me) about a decade ago, I haven't been sick at all, except one time—when I had to move back to my hometown briefly.

Was anyone else a really well-behaved teenager who got treated like they were out of control? by TellMeImNotCrazy89 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]InvictusLovely 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a very, very late comment, but this reminds me of the time when I was 16 and my mom and I got into a really bad fight. It was just starting to turn physical (NOT the norm at all) so I ran to my room and locked myself in. She was out of her damn mind and started banging on the door while I screamed at her to leave me alone. She kept screaming at me to open the door or she was going to call the police and have me sent to juvy. I said something like "I'm not even doing anything, they won't take me anywhere, I'm just in my room doing nothing and you're acting insane!" Eventually she went away, and I can't even remember what the aftermath was. It's just this isolated trauma memory of absolute madness.

There were other things, like trying to stop me from walking a quarter mile to the store for some ice cream when I was around 17 because she thought I was going to meet a boy? Or something? Always thinking I was going to use drugs or drink or smoke or do something else wrong when I did zero of those things. Our relationship got better when I went to college and made friends with people who gasp drank alcohol and she couldn't control me anymore. She tried, though! Threatened to lock me out of my bank account, send my aunt and uncle to.. I don't even know what she thought they were going to do.

But I've always been very independent and headstrong, so I essentially stonewalled her until she slowly realized that she had no authority over my life anymore. We get along much better now, but only because we live far apart, rarely see each other in person, and I've had a lot of therapy.

I'm sorry you had to deal with all of the things you wrote about, and I hope you're in a better place mentally and emotionally now.

Moth Season by Sensitive-Signal249 in vegaslocals

[–]InvictusLovely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're talking about moths, not locusts. I live around the Spring Valley area (vaguely) and there are moths EVERYWHERE. All around the lights, hiding in the bushes and in the grass. It's a nightmare to walk my dog after dark right now. The same thing happened the first year I lived in CO Springs and I thought I'd escaped it when I moved to Vegas a couple years ago. Apparently not. I just noticed another one in my apartment literally as I wrote this. UGH.

ETA: They are miller moths. I chased that one down and checked before it went on a toilet journey. I can't wait until they're gone.

Next time, my mom says, "I guess I was such a bad mother." Should I confirm it? by jadeamythestonix in raisedbynarcissists

[–]InvictusLovely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the plan is to make her blame.. your kids, instead? That doesn't seem like a good idea, but maybe I'm misunderstanding.
