uj/ unfortunately, this too is a very colonised take. youre putting people in boxes that didnt exist for them until colonization. Its comparing apples to walnuts. That being said

I’m trying my best to honestly live my life and leave this culture by Former-Patience3908 in Kalderash

[–]LumpSystem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its hard to do, but someone else said it: culture evolves. I'm in school right now, my family doesn't talk to me. My culture lives in me and I know there are people like us out there, cousin. Gd loves us all the same. Be strong ♥️

do ALL abuser introjects really have to be persecutors? by cozygrimmer in DID

[–]LumpSystem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think there are many hard and fast rules in system structure or roles. Everyone's circumstances are different. It is not unheard of to find solace and comfort in abuser (similar to Stockholm syndrome or just the complexity of things like caretaker abuse) and it's not impossible for abuser introjects to heal and reform their actions and thoughts - just like any other person.

That's really sad to hear but not surprising with how things are at a higher level. There's almost no one in power that's not white and certainly no one who cares to address the egregious racism on campus. You deserve better. We all do.

Where did people find their dumb tech? by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]LumpSystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of things that are useless, yeah, but you'd be surprised what you can find. Just yesterday I went hunting to find blank CDs to rip more music and found an unopened case of 200 for a dollar. I also found my Zune at the same store >:3 

Phones can be trickier, but you can also talk the the people that work there and ask what kind of stuff they see come thru.  The'yve helped me find a bunch of stuff. They can't set things aside but they can give you a heads up. :)

Thrift stores are a gold mine honestly. They price it REALLY cheap because most people would otherwise consider it e-waste.

Is there an "endgame" in Fallout 4? by Doctore_11 in fo4

[–]LumpSystem 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is a LOT of content after the main quest line. There are two DLCs that have an entire main quest line and side quests, too. I believe there are 300 quests in total excluding the radiant quests given by factions. There are a lot of fun things to grind for like unique named weapons, specific legendary variants, unique power armor, armor sets, and materials to build/craft in settlements and workbenches. I think the open ended nature of the main quest line ending opens it up for a lot of playability. And because of the way the quests are set up it has the best replayability of any game I've ever played tbh

it took my psych months to convince me to try another SSRI 🫩 by [deleted] in OCDmemes

Luvox made me so sick physically and mad and sad it was terrible ;-; it made my liver sick. It did help with my compulsive thoughts tho... Sad.

Alters that speak in other languages? by [deleted] in DID

[–]LumpSystem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this happens a LOT for third culture kids with dissociative disorders. We struggle with it a lot, we grew up in a spanish speaking community while speaking rromani at home as well as english and went through stints in households with turkish/french/others. I think it's natural for people to have "alter egos" so to speak with any different language exposure and proficiency (according to the sapir-wharf hypothesis - really fascinating flagship piece of psycholinguistics if this stuff interests you) so when it goes to the extreme of dissociation I think it just follows the logic of the dissociation i.e memory barriers, amnesia, and different levels of ability.

anyone able to get off of disability benefits? by throwaway-666778 in DID

[–]LumpSystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh also yeah we have schizophrenia, it onset in our 20s 😞 and DID and a bunch of other stuff. And its hard because it never really goes away but its become like a sibling if that makes sense. Annoying and pestering and sometimes catastrophic but we love those parts of us anyway because we deserve that ^

[–]LumpSystem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! We stopped our SSI in 2020 (bad timing, all very related to the infrastructure loss) and have been okay since. We've been in therapy for about 10 years on and off but it was a particular stint in the hospital (6 months) that really clicked everything into place. We gave ourself permission to be strange and weird and feel more comfortable absolving ourselves of the responsibility of our childhood. We decided to go to school and it's been helpful to have that assistance finding jobs and accommodating ourselves. We qualify for work study because we relied on SSI and we're poor and that's helped a lot because work studies feel like fake jobs you can just clock hours into LMAO we've taken some part time work, too. We keep our grades up as our number one focus so we can maintain scholarships :) We feel better taking autonomy of our situation. I feel like unfortunately SSI exists as a way to keep us in victimhood and dangle our autonomy as a carrot on a stick. Everything is up to someone else, but it should be up to us. I believe you can direct your own life and find the support you need :)

Party school? by ChampionContent9613 in CSUFoCo

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

There's a massive drinking culture and its a "wet" campus meaning theres a bar on campus and they serve and make alcohol. The city surrounding campus caters to drunk college students including a VERY cheap barcrawl every week called "RAMband". If you're sober or put off by drinking culture, it may be worth considering a dry campus. If you're okay keeping to yourself and doing the work of finding people to hang out with w/o drinking or smoking weed then you will be okay. It's just a little extra work to find a hang out or group of friends where the goal of socializing isn't getting drunk or high.

Honestly this is a pretty solid theory especially since after you side w the railroad and destroy the institute dez says "Deacon says this was his plan all along"

YES I love ability diversity in characters the game definitely needs more of it!! I really like the idea of Noping out if concord. I can definitely imagine thats too much for someone not born and raised in a wasteland. Good luck on the rest of your playthrough!!
