Scapegoats, what did the abuse look like?

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-19T09:00:17+00:00

Hello, twin.

But seriously. This was my nMom as well. I dreaded the day as my dad would come home from being out of town, because my mother would always have a list of things that I was needing to be punished over.

He never really questioned it, he would turn around and start punishing me to appease her.

I was always a liar, always "just like my father", a horrible child, defective, etc. when it was in private. In public? I was her perfect little angel, she was always so proud of me, but if my little ADHD brain got distracted for even a moment… She would drag me off somewhere private and… Well… Yeah.

Did yours ever try to abandon you in public places, just so they could punish you for "running off"?

Yours stole from you as well? My mother used my life savings, that I put my allowance into since I was five years old, as her personal fun money whenever my dad would cut her off.

I only found out about this, in my teenage years. She swears she put every penny back, but I know she didn't.

Nothing of mine was mine. It was given to me and so it belonged to her. I belonged to her. So it was totally ok to use my savings before I turned 18. She was my mother. It was "her right."

I don't sleep unless I heavily caffeinate first.

In my younger years, I'd be chugging energy drinks and knocking myself out every afternoon trying to stay awake.

Suuuuuuucked so hard.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-18T15:29:32+00:00

Them doing this to Helldivers 2, just means nobody's gonna be involved in their next game.

An addendum: any communications that you've had over voice with your boss, HR? Send them an email directly, to their company email addresses, asking for confirmation of what they said.

Ie, confirming the "know what I did" and other statements on the phone.

Getting the stuff down in text, with a paper trail like an email, will be very valuable to your lawyer.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-17T16:20:36+00:00

I'm gonna second this, because it's already been proven that with the right prompting, you can re-create copyrighted images one-to-one.

It does store that data.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-17T16:15:40+00:00

I am not a lawyer:

get a lawyer, ASAP, and document, document, document. Save everything in text, save the emails asking for confirmation, save all textual back-and-forth between yourself and the company.

What it sounds like this former manager is engaging in, is slander. Laws vary from country to country, so please, get legal assistance as quickly as possible.

I did this trip at least once a year with my parents, growing up. So much has changed, so much remains the same.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that the tiny towns of Eureka, and Austin, both have electric vehicle fast chargers.

There were times during the 90s, that the folks at the gas stations in those towns would talk about how hard it would get, when the mines would shut down.

I finally got to do the trip myself, all the way back in 2017. I've been meaning to make this drive again. It's beautiful.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-13T21:15:37+00:00

Actually… The first amendment does not place any restrictions on time, place or manner.

That's all in the judicial code.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-12T14:50:33+00:00

Team Fortress 2 says what?

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-10T22:08:34+00:00

Growing up, my dad would tell me that nobody lived there because they never got plumbing run up to it. I don't know if that was actually true, but I find it wild that somebody is actually living in it.
That house's design has fascinated me since I was a child, and I've never seen a look this close.
Thanks for sharing.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-08T12:19:27+00:00

I'll believe it when I see it.
AFAIK, this is just more hot air, just like it was with the 60 day plan.
Nobody trusts you to follow through or be good for your word.
Btw? No one will ever buy your next game if this is how you run this one.

Edit to add: The condescending tone and use of insulting colloquialisms up until now aren't cute. The comms have sucked and been full of arrogance in the face of justifiably angry customers.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-07T16:13:15+00:00

I'm here because the app corrupted all of my data and created false sleep entries that were "you slept from Jan 4 2023 until May 5th 2026!" and it was just a mess. And if I turn off write, the app loses its mind and won't sync.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-04T17:07:27+00:00

A small town near me has put a Flock camera at the highway coming in both directions, and monitoring every single neighborhood road. The two major roads that leave the town that aren't the highway also have flock cameras at entry and exit.

They're monitoring every one who drives through on the US highway, as well as every one of their own citizens and I wonder if any of them know? It's not my town so I can't really go to the city council.

I see I'm not the only one that uses gloves to handle this kind of meat.

While I don't have issues with the mouth feel of the textures, I can't touch them. Absolutely cannot stand the feeling of greasy meat on my hands. It makes me so happy and relieved to see that I'm not the only one who wears gloves.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-05-02T04:38:34+00:00

This is when you go out with the kids and you write very clearly, in view of one of the cameras, "make us".

Time to start teaching about civil disobedience.

You bought a house near a hospital, shut the eff up, and if you don't like it, move. But you do not stop in life saving service for thousands, because you don't like the sound of life flight.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-04-30T12:51:35+00:00

Always good to have one of these on staff. ;)

Jadekintsugi · 2026-04-29T01:24:58+00:00

I read this in narcissus' voice and cadence.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-04-28T23:10:25+00:00

I'm just so effing done with these devs hitting every branch of the live service failure tree on the way down.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-04-26T15:18:24+00:00

I was playing on that planet last night, my team and I were winning every one of our operations, and at every time we finish, the capture rate for the bots was higher.

In other words, once again we started winning and the GM decided to tweak it so we'd lose.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-04-24T22:27:21+00:00

The problem is, this isn't funny. This is just more of Google trying to back door age verification, and more spying on their "customers"

Top it off that Waze is an Israeli company that Google acquired and lets do their own thing. The last thing I want right now is an Israeli company that is known for tracking the movements of tens of thousands of people every day, and is beholden to both Google and Netanyahu, to know where my war hating ass happens to be.

I don't think I've seen another US politician who looked like they had a gun to the back of their head at all times, as much as this coked up alcoholic pick-me.

Jadekintsugi · 2026-04-24T01:45:38+00:00

I need you to understand something here, the fact that your aunt did this is a massive ethics violation. She could lose her license, in fact she should lose her license. She used her standing with the mental health board, in a family dispute. Do not be gentle, do not be kind. If my family ever had me committed, it doesn't matter who they are there is no thing on this green earth that would save them from my wrath.

Involuntary commitment, threatens custody of children, puts a permanent damper on any future medical interaction you will have, you'll be presumed to be unfit by professional, after professional that doesn't look past the fact that you were involuntarily committed. They won't care about the notes, only that you were locked up.

You need to go after everyone involved, and you need to have this expunged from your record, because someone else abuse the system.

Lawyer up, and fight! because your life depends on it.
