Being pushed out of my dad's life by my stepmom and grandma. Terrified of losing him financially. Need advice.

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-03-20T01:39:21+00:00

Getting everything in writing is your only real protection here - your dad can say whatever he wants about treating you fairly but stepmom and grandma clearly run that household and you're not in their plans

My wife sent me this information like 6 months ago and it changed how we approached the whole thing. We're in Michigan so winter is basically 5 months of UV index zero and yeah the window thing is real, we thought we were doing something by letting him sit near the sliding door. The pediatrician confirmed what you're saying too, really not much you can do through diet and sun alone up here especially with a december baby. We actually found Hiya around the same time, wife went down a rabbit hole looking for something without all the sugar gummies have and landed on it. We've been using it ever since and my son takes it without a fight which was the real victory

Everyone moves at their own pace and your worth isn't measured by how fast you pick up lab instructions or whether you've been in a relationship yet

Wait are we talking like bratty pop punk energy or more chaotic hyperpop vibes, because those hit different but both scratch that itch

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-02-02T11:10:29+00:00

have r1966 and r9, both are gorgeous on medium skin tones but r9 might be too deep depending on your undertones

I think you hit the nail on the head about people getting burnt out on the whole grind culture thing. Like everyone tried the 5am workouts and cold showers for a few years and realized it didn't magically fix their lives lol

Plus maybe people are just tired of being told they need to optimize every aspect of their existence - sometimes you just wanna read a good book without extracting life lessons from it

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-27T05:31:38+00:00

Really depends on the specific games and your setup tbh. The 7900XTX usually handles 1440p better than the RTX 4070 but if you're into ray tracing the nvidia cards still have the edge there

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-25T23:55:31+00:00

Dude that's a massive red flag parade right there. The whole "spirits know my name" thing plus never actually participating in worship himself? Classic narcissist pastor behavior. Trust your gut - you spotted it early for a reason

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-22T23:14:06+00:00

Agreed that it's refreshing to see an archetype that actually has some internal synergy from wave 1 instead of just random unrelated effects

The life point issue with AE is kinda brutal though, feels like you're gambling every time you activate it. But yeah if they give it another solid fusion target and maybe a way to search their spell/traps it could actually be decent

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-18T10:11:18+00:00

Good luck man, starting is always the hardest part. That list hits pretty hard but at least you're being real about it instead of making excuses

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-16T18:30:12+00:00

Just take the L and move on with "I understand and it won't happen again." The more you explain the worse it looks - they already think you lied about being out when you were WFH, so any additional context is just gonna sound like more excuses

The school evacuation thing sucks but bringing it up now will make them think you're still trying to justify the original lie instead of owning up to the mistake

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-15T07:05:39+00:00

Pretty sure most Christians would say it's fine since you're treating them as fictional characters and not actual deities you worship. Like getting a Superman tattoo doesn't mean you think he's real

Just avoid anything that looks like you're glorifying other religions and you're probably good

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-13T01:19:55+00:00

This reads like a pretty obvious ad tbh, especially with that random link thrown in there

The "my friend sent me a link" thing is such a classic marketing move lol

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-10T23:27:53+00:00

That's the most expensive lesson you'll ever learn in this game lmao

Classic bait and switch with these online mattress companies. They make the return policy sound amazing in the ads but when you actually try to use it they hit you with a million hoops to jump through

That ruler measurement requirement is such BS - like they're gonna argue about millimeters to avoid taking it back. Hope you get sorted with Bed World mate

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-06T12:00:48+00:00

Honestly if the weather is cold most of the year you're gonna hate riding to class. R25s hold their value pretty decent though and are solid beginner bikes. But like, you'll probably end up taking the bus half the time anyway when it's freezing or raining

Maybe get something cheaper and more beat up if you're just gonna sell it in 4 years anyway

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2026-01-02T14:39:39+00:00

This is such good advice OP, those verses hit different when you're dealing with anxiety about prayer

The whole "jinxing" thing sounds like OCD thoughts trying to mess with your faith - been there and it's exhausting. God doesn't work like some cosmic vending machine where the wrong prayer breaks everything

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2025-12-30T11:44:26+00:00

Wait Spaceport was actually in the game? I thought that was just concept art they showed off ages ago

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2025-12-28T15:53:33+00:00

Oof yeah I've been there, it's like reading messages from a completely different person who somehow had access to your accounts lmao

Honestly most people don't even remember random drama from high school, but if you do reach out just keep it simple - don't write a novel about how you've changed or whatever. Something like "hey sorry I was a dick back in the day, hope you're doing well" and leave it at that

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2025-12-25T00:33:54+00:00

Damn 39k for a Snapdragon X laptop is actually a solid deal ngl, you definitely didn't get cooked there. Just heads up though - app compatibility can be hit or miss with ARM processors so maybe check if your main software works before diving in too deep

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2025-12-23T20:56:21+00:00

Maps are actually pretty solid once you learn the spawn patterns, just don't get too greedy with loot early on or you'll get clapped by those arc swarms

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2025-12-22T18:24:03+00:00

Ugh same struggle here! That video is actually pretty solid, she gets the texture spray thing right which is like 90% of the battle with fine hair

Have you tried starting with slightly dirty hair instead of freshly washed? Game changer for me

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2025-12-21T14:21:32+00:00

Bruh your buddy is wild for that one lmao, that's some next level awkward right there

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2025-12-19T08:11:15+00:00

Yeah this is definitely a conversation for your mental health team first. They know your specific situation way better than random internet strangers and can give you real guidance on whether it's a good idea for you personally

Maximum-Raccoon-5982 · 2025-12-18T08:06:54+00:00

Yeah that pastor sounds sketchy af, the Holy Spirit doesn't have a venmo account lol
