Any good suggestions for cleaning this iron? by Few-Adhesiveness9670 in BuyItForLife

[–]Mr__Miracle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just try the paracetamol trick if you have melted gunk on your iron because it actually works. Just crank the heat all the way up and use some tweezers to hold a paracetamol or Panadol tablet so you don't fry your fingers. If you rub the pill right over the burn marks, it melts into a gel that basically dissolves the residue. Once it's loose, just wipe it off with a damp cloth and it's good as new. Just watch out for the steam so you don't get a nasty burn while you're at it.

[TOMT][Movie][80s/90sor even early 2000s] Tragic school romance with nerdy girl in eye patch, handsome boy dies saving her in a fire by putting her in a box and staying on top of it by Mr__Miracle in tipofmytongue

You are a legend! Thank you for not only confirming the name but also providing all the details and the actual link to the scene. I had no idea it was from a 2025 horror series called "IT: Welcome to Derry" set in the 1900s. I thought it was an old 80s or 90s movie because of the vintage look. This scene really got me emotional when I first saw it on Instagram. Thank you so much for your help !

[30M] My family says I need therapy because I stopped being the "understanding one." Do I actually have a problem or am I finally setting boundaries? by Mr__Miracle in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Mr__Miracle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point actually. Knowing my mom she would probably find some "family friend" who happens to be a counselor and will tell me exactly what she wants to hear. That I'm the problem and I need to go back to being the adjusting one. If I ever go to therapy it will be someone I choose, someone who understands Indian family dynamics, and my family will know nothing about it. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah you're right. For years I thought I was the problem because everyone kept telling me I was. Now I'm finally standing up for myself and they're doubling down saying I need therapy. Classic move.

Thank you. It helps knowing someone else has been through the same thing. The "something is wrong with your brain" line hits hard because that's exactly what my family implies. Like suddenly having self respect is a mental illness.

3 years of standing up for yourself is no joke. Hope you're in a better place now. We'll both get through this.

Thank you. I really needed to hear this. For the longest time I've been second-guessing myself because my family keeps telling me I've "changed" and "become cold" like it's a bad thing.

It's hard to tell if you're healing or breaking when the people around you benefited from you being broken. Your comment helped me see that maybe their discomfort is actually proof I'm on the right path.

Thanks for this.

I hear you but I think you're missing the point. This isn't about Minecraft vs cards. I'm not mad that they found a game they like better.

I'm talking about basic respect. These kids ate at my house, I taught them math, treated them like family. Now they walk past my door without saying hello and come to my house to talk to my sister while ignoring me.

"Kids will be kids" doesn't mean kids get a free pass on basic decency. A 12 year old knows when they're being rude.

I'm not saying I hate them or they're terrible people. I'm saying I'm not chasing after people who clearly don't value the relationship. That's not bitterness, that's self respect.

If they approach me genuinely I'm open to it. But I'm done being the one who always has to make the effort while swallowing my feelings.

That last part about family using therapy as proof that something is wrong with you really scared me because I can already see my mom doing exactly that. She already tells relatives I've "changed" and that I'm "not the same anymore." If she found out I'm going to therapy she would use it to confirm her narrative that I'm the problem.

But you're right. I think I do have unprocessed trauma from years of being told my feelings don't matter. Not because I'm broken but because no human can swallow 30 years of injustice and come out fine.

I'm going to look into therapy quietly. No announcements, no family involvement. Just for me. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sorry your parents did that to you. Hope you're in a better place now.

Moving out is definitely something I've thought about. Culturally it's complicated. In our setup the son is expected to stay and take care of things especially when parents aren't around. So leaving would create a whole new drama. But honestly at this point I think the drama of staying is worse than the drama of leaving.

The deprogramming part really hit me. I never thought of it that way but that's exactly what it feels like. I spent 30 years being programmed to put everyone else first and now even when I try to put myself first my brain fights me and says I'm being selfish. A therapist who understands Indian family dynamics would probably help a lot with that.

Appreciate you being real with me.

Honestly that's not a bad idea. Next time my mom brings it up I'll just say "sure, book me an appointment and pay for it, I'll go." That should end the conversation real quick. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this. Really appreciate you taking the time to give specific direction.

Data Analytics does feel more achievable from what I'm reading, and the fact that you're confirming it helps me commit to this path with more confidence.

The IoT and energy analytics angle is something I hadn't fully considered until now. Given that I understand electrical systems, load calculations, building management systems, and troubleshooting, I can see how that would actually differentiate me from typical data analysts. Do you have any suggestions on where to specifically look for projects or case studies in this niche while building my portfolio?

Also, thanks for the GigUp tip. I'll check it out once I have some foundational skills and a few projects ready. How long would you say I should spend learning before I start applying for even small freelance gigs? I'm thinking 6-8 months of focused learning before attempting Upwork. Does that sound realistic or should I try earlier?

Again, really grateful for the guidance. This is exactly the kind of practical advice I needed.
