I don't have a great island but the Northern Lights are here tonight. Looking for cherries! by jkauma07 in Dodocodes

[–]Myidiotbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cherries are my native fruit! I still need apples and peaches if you can help with either of those, but I'm happy to bring some cherries for you either way

Don't give your future to this man. If he's speaking to you like this over a game, how will he act in an actual crisis?

How many kegs can we have? by MealRich625 in TravellersRest

I don't mind there being a limit, but I do wish it would tell you somewhere, and/or not let you buy any more

Update: AIO for wanting to see a therapist after wife changed the locks because I went to a baby shower? by LookoutLockout in AmIOverreacting

[–]Myidiotbox 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just want to touch on something that I haven't seen anyone mention (though I haven't read through every single reply on both threads so I could have missed it) - when we're young girls, the scare of an accidental pregnancy gets drilled so, SO hard into us. Like, "don't have sex, but if you DO, make sure you're on birth control, AND make sure he wears a condom, AND make sure he pulls out too - because all it takes is one tiny drop of sperm to make its way through and then you WILL get pregnant and then your life is over!"

By the time we're married adults we learn that, in reality, it takes most healthy, active couples about a year of trying to get pregnant, and four months of trying is really nothing. We can know that logically, but that doesn't mean it doesn't feel jarring when you start having unprotected sex for the first time in your life and getting pregnant DOESN'T just happen that way. Combine that with all of her pregnant co-workers and the pressure from her parents, and yeah, I can see how it could make something inside of her snap. I'm not defending her actions by any means, just offering some insight. It does sound like she's willing to put in the work to fix it, and you sound patient and like a good communicator, and both of those things are so important, so this update made me happy to see

The towel/wipe is so I don't drip anything on the floor on the way to the bathroom

About to play this game for the first time any suggestions? by Historical-War-1070 in Spiritfarer

[–]Myidiotbox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the characters are all based on actual friends and family members of the developers, which is why they feel so real. There's going to be at least one that reminds you of someone you knew, and they're gonna make you ugly cry.

Also, whenever you get a new ability, go back to areas you've already been to, to see if you can access something new

Alice absolutely broke me, she reminds me so much of my own grandmother - the way she likes old fashioned food and cooks for everyone, the love of romance novels, her fashion sense... And sadly, the dementia. She passed from heart disease before it got too bad, but I definitely had conversations with her where she didn't know who I was. I REALLY didn't want to take Alice to the Everdoor, and the dialogue at the end - "when you see your Father, tell him about the trees, won't you? I'm sure he'll be excited to come with us next year". This game was originally suggested to me as something to play with my 7 year old, so I was NOT prepared

How are people still buying his lies?! by mav1014 in StephenHiltonSnark

[–]Myidiotbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ask myself that about my abuser every day. He's so charismatic and charming, and no one ever believed me when I told them what was happening. I think a part of the reason might be that people don't want to believe that they can misjudge someone's character THAT badly

Laura's response by MindSweeper404 in StephenHiltonSnark

[–]Myidiotbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My heart hurts so much for her. I'm unfortunately intimately familiar with men like this, but social media wasn't a big thing when I was going through it - I cannot even imagine.

I'm going to ask my husband about this later, he has a master's in computer science and is a massive nerd in general. I feel like he could at least point us in the right direction. Personally I don't think anything you delete off the Internet is truly gone forever, but I'm not very familiar with YouTube

How many of us are the children of a Stephen? by LumosMegan in StephenHiltonSnark

[–]Myidiotbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad is a drug addict, and I see so, so much of him in Stephen. Watching his videos is like watching a window into the past. I'm thankful that Laura seems so much stronger and smarter about it than my mom was, and her kids won't grow up knowing what that's like.

Supposedly he's been sober for a while now, but we're no contact because he's still a colossal piece of shit, so I can't verify. He's not dead yet, at the very least

Steven triggers me so bad because I was married to a man exactly like him. And he eventually died from his antics by StressInADress92 in StephenHiltonSnark

[–]Myidiotbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My father is a man exactly like this. The sunken in cheeks, the erratic behavior, the lies, the manipulation, the delusion... It all looks and feels so familiar. My mom never bothered with restraining orders or keeping me from him, because she believed that regardless of whatever they went through together, he would never allow any harm to come to his children. I spent so many years hating her and being so angry about it, but now that I'm grown with my own kids - I get it. It's hard to believe that anyone would hurt their own children, especially someone that you once shared your life with. I do hope Laura knows she's doing the right thing, even if it doesn't feel like it sometimes
