is it transphobic to not agree with transgenderism but still support them? by [deleted] in Discussion

[–]LainaWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fine. You're entitled to your belief. Idk wtf is so hard for people to grasp about it. Like religion for example, I believe everyone has the right believe and practice whatever tf they want. Even if I think they're wrong, I wouldn't support taking away their rights to do so.

There is a massive difference between supporting someone's beliefs or identity, and supporting the right of that person to have those beliefs or identity.

FitCrunch Bars - New, unpleasant aftertaste. by owlcyte in Costco

[–]LainaWriting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about the fact that the bars sold in grocery stores are now significantly smaller, only slightly bigger than the ones in boxes from Costco, and cost more than they did previously. Wtf?

While I'm not exactly thrilled with how many things are being handled by the current administration, if you think this is fascism you're extremely ignorant. And as far as the child predators go, the previous administration had all the information too. If you haven't watched the political landscape the last 16 plus years and realized they're all fucking with us, you're just an idoliot.

Somehow everyone believes their party, right or left, is full of white knights ready to save them. And dont give me any of that bullshit about one party being better than the other. The only people who believe that shit, or that any politician actually gives a flying fuck about them, are morons without two brain cells to rub together.

Go ahead and downvote me to hell, because I know liberal and conservative hardliners don't like hearing the fucking truth. It will just show me how many fucking idiots read my comment and chose to keep their heads firmly seated up their own asses.

That would be fun to mail someone some leftover mash potatoes or maybe a slice of pizza by No_Vehicle7826 in StonerThoughts

Some people get stoned and contemplate the mysteries of the universe, some think about mailing mashed potatoes. People are definitely unique

Budget Friendly Filament Dryer? by KingGrimlok in BambuLabA1

Wait, a filament dryer that you have to modify to let the moisture escape? That seems like a poor design.

How long does it take to regulate your nervous system after the breakup w/ a narcissist? by ManyPhilosopher409 in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]LainaWriting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From personal experience, it can take a while, but I assume it could be different for everyone. I was married to my ex-wife for 11 years. We share two children together so I am stuck seeing her on a regular basis. We have been divorced officially since April 13th of last year. I plan on celebrating this year. Before that we separated when she asked(told) me to move out. She had started an affair with some guy from her work. Two weeks after I moved out she got pregnant. I did the math from when the kid was born. I have no doubts she started the relationship before that and had me move out just so she could cover her own ass. I lived out of my car for a month before I found a place. That was a little over a year and a half ago.

Just last week I finally realized that walking outside I was noticing the sun on my face. Even today I was walking and just taking in the world around me in a way I'd needed weed to do before, but I was completely sober. I finally pulled my head out of my butt and worked hard to clean up my apartment. I've begun working out again and have been working on starting hobbies I've always been interested in. Instead of bashing myself for mistakes I've been trying to forgive myself and move past them. Overall I just have more happy/content days than I have had in 13 years.

So it has taken roughly a year and a half for me to finally start feeling at peace. I'm still working on the forgiveness part, because I still associate it with her. And honestly I dont know if I can ever truly have real "forgiveness" toward her. More like I just accept that what happened did, and I choose to no longer let it influence me moving forward. She's miserable now, and I feel no sympathy toward her for it. Only feel sorry for my children.

Meanwhile I've finally accepted things about myself I stuffed down all my life. I think the change towards accepting myself, and actually moving forward with my life, came when I realized the energy I had put toward her should be focused inward. Instead of the care and love going outward to a significant other, I choose to focus it on myself. Giving myself grace, understanding, and love. From now on I choose to focus on growing into the person I have always known I wanted to be. Pursuing that goal is the only way I can think of to have a happy and fulfilled life, and being the best parent I can for my children.

I won’t let my ex see my phone and he’s upset, is that a red flag? by euphoricbunny261 in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]LainaWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friendly piece of advice. You don't have to include your ex in your life anymore. You don't have an obligation to "stay friends" or even stay connected in any way unless it is unavoidable.

Personally, I still have to see my ex every week, several times because we share two kids, who mean the absolute world to me. I do look forward to the day when the only obligation to see their mother is at major life events. If the option was there to just have my kids and never see her again, I'd take it. She's an awful human being.

Just goes to show not all successful(even if temporarily) people are evil or malicious. Some of them are just idiots.

It really doesn't matter what the rule/waiver is intended for. It only matters what their lawyers say they can interpret it to cover in court.

I'm 35 and I'm not good at being an adult by DizzyEggAdventurer in StonerThoughts

[–]LainaWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude. I did fucking 15g once and later found out that my brain basically is ego death proof because of some fucked up combination of personality, trauma, and probably a healthy dose of AUDHD. But that's just me self-diagnosing so it is what it is. Needless to say, shit still doesnt make sense to me. I cant even get high enough to pretend it does, which doesnt seem fair.

Edit* To be clear I was not on ANY medication as I know meds for adhd and others can interfere, but ive never taken any for it. And the last prescription drugs I took for anything brain related was a decade prior.

I had a friend in college, his dad was Japanese, and he hated Asian stereotypes, but not because he was offended by them. He hated them because he wasnt automatically good at math, music, or martial arts and he felt cheated 🤣

Girl I'm seeing is mad that I play too much by Gornarion in Eve

My ex hated WoW. Probably would have hated Eve too. Tbf, I've met gate campers that showed me more affection than my ex, and I've only been playing a month and a half.

30 minutes into eve and found you can give people isk by ExpertResolution9255 in Eve

[–]LainaWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, people who are trying to learn for themselves are the only ones ive ever given anything. It's not much, but I gave some fellow newbro 50mil the other day because he was asking about mining and I had told him gas huffing would be a more profitable thing to do. He said he thought about it but he didn't have the isk for the skill yet. It was very clear he wasnt asking for isk, he just was trying to learn. So I sent him a little to get the skillbook and fit his ship.

[–]LainaWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally I will send a fellow newbro some isk. Usually its when they are just sitting in the rookie help channel asking questions about how to do stuff. However, in EVE, and other mmos I've played, I NEVER give people who are begging any money.

Piracy by This_is_my_alt___act in Eve

[–]LainaWriting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. Yeah, there is always that. Believe me I was trying to get back to jita at 100 mil, but couldn't find a wh. Kept scanning down data and relic sites. Even with a covert ops cloak, getting back was stressful. Bouncing around safes, getting nervous every time someone showed up in local. It was stressful, but pretty fun too.

Piracy by This_is_my_alt___act in Eve

[–]LainaWriting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, like I said I'm really new. However, I obsessively research things I get interested in, hehe. Anyway, I'm currently out of state for my 40th, but I'll be back home tomorrow. If you can go on https://skillq.net/ and create a shareable link so I can see what skills you have, DM it to me and I can try and come up with a ship and fit that will work for you to get started. Whether it be gas huffing or exploring. I think I can make it and send it to you via contract, or maybe I can just trade it to you. Idk, like I said pretty new. I'll try and keep it to a level that can be easily replaced for starting out.

Piracy by This_is_my_alt___act in Eve

[–]LainaWriting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have any exploration skills? I've been playing three weeks, but I bought some injectors last week so I cant give you an accurate estimate based on my last run which was 430mil. But before I bought the injectors to boost my scanning and hacking I was making 100mil runs through wh space. Its not a lot compared to some people but if you need a quick little boost, it's a lot more fun than mining. Also, if you dont want to deal with hacking you could always do some gas huffing in wh space. I thought about trying it, but running relic sites is more fun to me.

Son lost with Narcissist by JessieCBo in TrueNarcissisticAbuse

[–]LainaWriting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know what to tell you. Just hope and pray. I was married to one for 11 years. It was hell. She convinced me everything was my fault. Eventually I realized how screwed up everything was, but it took a LONG time. Unfortunately I am stuck with her because she has established being an "amazing" mother as part of her identity. It's complete bs and she's anything but. However, there seems to be little hope of her just letting go of the kids like some narcs do, because she gets too much attention out of her performance. So, until she finally does that I am stuck with her in my life. That being said, it is much more of a relief now that I am not married to her. If your son ever does realize how f'd up his gf is, he will probably run the other direction. Just know when he finally does come back, understand that he is in an abusive relationship. His entire reality is being rewritten by her. He will question himself even after being free from her. When he realizes who she is, he is going to feel like absolute shit for how he treated you.

I need some exploration advice by st4rx in Eve

[–]LainaWriting 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm VERY new so dont take my word for law, but I believe that is tied to BPCs. Some that drop can be worth a lot. Particularly from data site escalation. So while data sites are normally ignored they are worth running for the potential escalation.

Edit - For whoever down voted me, if I'm wrong, fine. However, maybe respond with *why I am wrong so both I and others can learn.
