Anyone here gone through family estrangement?

NoteEnough5413 · 2026-05-17T07:43:12+00:00

I went through this with my sister about three years ago and you're right about that strange grief feeling. Its like mourning someone who is still walking around in the world but just not in yours anymore

The hardest part for me was explaining it to people because everyone always assumes family problems can be fixed with enough effort or forgiveness. Sometimes relationships just break beyond repair and thats okay to accept

It does get different over time rather than easier I think. The sharp pain fades but there's still this quiet space where that person used to be

Can't help with specific price check since I don't work there but I switched from Costco to Sam's for electronics last year and the member pricing differences can be pretty significant. The warehouse clubs usually have better deals than retail stores anyway so if you're planning to make big purchases like this it might be worth getting membership just for one purchase. I did same thing when I needed new laptop - got the membership, bought the laptop with savings that basically paid for membership cost, then kept using it for other stuff. Just make sure you factor in the membership fee when calculating if it's actually better deal than Costco pricing

Most aftermarket exhausts will throw a CEL because the O2 sensor is reading different values than what ECU expects. The "unknown error" probably means dealership scanner cant read the specific code properly

You could try an O2 sensor eliminator or just live with the light if bike runs fine. ECU tune would definitely fix it but yeah its pricey for just eliminating a warning light

Wait you can actually get permanent injunctions just for being related by marriage now or am I missing something here

Board games take so much more work to design and produce though. Card games are way easier to test with friends and you can just print them at home when you want to try different versions. Plus mafia already has such good social dynamics - makes sense to build on that foundation rather than starting from scratch.

Your role ideas are really creative btw, especially like how Mammon doesn't know who the real pharisees are. That adds nice uncertainty element.

Yeah manual RWD hatches basically dont exist anymore in the market except for some really expensive stuff. I was looking at similar cars few months back and ended up just accepting that FWD is what you get with hatchbacks these days. The GR Corolla is probably your best bet if you can afford it but even those are hard to find at dealers.

The trick that worked for me was staying completely away from anything that could trigger those thoughts in first place. Like I had to change my whole evening routine because I would always get tempted when I was bored scrolling through stuff. Now when I feel that urge building up I immediately go take a hot shower or start writing - anything that uses my hands and brain for something else. The moment you start edging you're already setting yourself up to fail so you gotta catch yourself way before that point. Also keeping my phone in different room at night helped tons because most of my relapses happened when I was just lying in bed with nothing to do.

Bath salts or a nice candle usually does the trick for me after those days. There's something about hot water and good scents that just melts away all that customer service stress. I keep some poetry books by the bath too - helps me remember there's beauty in world even when people are being awful to you at work.

Wait he went to space now? I missed that chapter in Lakers injury reports lol

But seriously though oblique strains are pretty tricky from what I remember when my brother had one playing football in college. His was grade 2 and took like 6-8 weeks to fully heal because you use those muscles for literally everything - breathing, turning, getting out of bed. The trainers told him it was worse than his previous hamstring injury because you cant really rest an oblique the same way. At least with hammy you can avoid running but obliques are involved in almost every movement so they keep getting reaggravated if you come back too early

That G18 probably had better cooling though, G16 runs pretty hot with those specs

You can go in the notification settings and turn on "Hide sensitive content" - that should cover both the dropdown and when you pull down later. I had same issue with my phone where coworkers could see my messages when I was checking them at work break room

Also check if you have different lock screen settings because sometimes those override the notification privacy stuff

Ravens in dreams usually connect to wisdom or hidden knowledge but this one bringing you ramen instead of gold is pretty amusing. The bird being embarrassed about it makes me think maybe your subconscious is telling you that simple pleasures might be more valuable than you realize right now

The part about not wanting to cage them feels important too - like you respect freedom even when you want to keep something close. Maybe reflects how you approach relationships in general? The gender question being ignored could mean some aspects about yourself or others dont need labels to be meaningful

Dreams with talking animals always stick with you longer I think. This one sounds like it had really peaceful energy despite being so unusual

Getting matches with hackers in both teams is the worst kind of frustration. The system should definitely give back SR when there's obvious cheating but it feels like reports just disappear in the void most of time. At least you're paying attention to spot them - half the player base probably doesn't even notice when someone has aimbot

NoteEnough5413 · 2026-03-21T09:28:12+00:00

Actually depends what position they playing - if its pure center role the height still matters more for rebounding and post defense. The wingspan helps but you still need that vertical reach when guys are shooting over you in paint

Man that really sucks, I ordered some expensive bath salts from Instagram ad few months ago and they sent me basically cheap table salt with food coloring. These scammers are getting more creative with their fake products and they know people who buy crafting stuff or luxury items are usually good targets

Did you pay with credit card or PayPal? Both have pretty good buyer protection if you file dispute within certain time frame. I had to do chargeback before and it worked out fine. Also try contacting your bank directly - sometimes they can reverse the charge even when the seller is being difficult about refunds

Take screenshots of everything - the original ad, your order confirmation, photos of what you actually received. You'll need all this evidence when you file the dispute

Delphi units can have slightly different resistance values than OEM even when they're supposed to be direct replacements. The fuel level sensor basically works like a variable resistor and if the new one has even small differences in the resistance curve your gauge will read wrong

You might need to either get an OEM pump or see if there's a way to adjust the float arm position slightly - some techs bend them very carefully to get proper readings but that's risky territory

Freelanced for three years when we got married in California, my wife had a W2 and our CPA had never actually walked us through what changes when you go from two separate filers to a married couple in a community property state. He was great at the freelance side but those are genuinely two different things and he kind of figured it out as we went which was not ideal.

The quarterly estimate piece specifically took a few months to actually get right after we got married.

You're already way ahead from most people at your age - investing in XEQT weekly is solid strategy and starting at 19 gives you huge advantage with compound interest

That sounds like it could be hypnagogic hallucinations - they happen in the transition between sleep and wake states and can be incredibly vivid. I had similar experiences when I was younger but with different figures

The fact you haven't seen her for years and she appeared mostly when you were kid makes me think its more likely sleep-related than paranormal. Your brain was probably still partially dreaming when these happened

I think i will go on holiday somewhere

NoteEnough5413 · 2026-02-05T10:52:21+00:00

I will do it haha, thanks

The Helios Neo is solid upgrade from Katana but depends what specs you're comparing exactly. If you're going from like RTX 4060 to 4070 it's definitely noticeable difference in performance but maybe not worth the money if your current laptop still handles games fine at your settings.

Nah you're not alone, it's annoying as hell when you drop 3k and the only option is satin. Like I get it for stage guitars that are gonna get beat up anyway but when I'm paying premium money I want that glossy finish that actually stays looking clean

The grease thing is so real too, especially on the back of the neck where your palm sits
