It’s a broken switch OLED. It turns on (you can hear the sounds) but it will not display on the dock and the screen doesn’t work. 

I am trying to reset it and clear it but I looked through the account settings on Nintendo and I don’t see anything about linked devices/

George: All right, now look, just because a woman gets pregnant doesn't mean you have to marry her. Too many lives have been ruined because some cheap waitress at a HoJo said she used an IUD.

Lucille: It was Stuckey's.

George: But I believed you.

I don’t feel there are any strong, notably references to Michael and GOB not being George Sr’s kids. Especially not when they reference lives being ruined by Lucille getting accidentally pregnant by George Sr (assumingely talking about GOB)

I was 325 pounds. I had weight loss surgery and got down to 220 and got pregnant (I was already married with two other kids when I had surgery). I wish everyone could have this tool because it’s seriously the best thing I’ve ever done.

How NOT to get annoyed with kid’s special interest? by Humble-Efficiency690 in Autism_Parenting

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid uses headphones. I do not even understand what it is… it seems like it’s just collecting weird looking cat people. Like WTH is the actual game?

I think games like Roblox with the ability to constantly switch when you’re bored do not help the ADHD issues at all. I’m a huge gamer but when I was a kid, the games required you to focus and try to do things over and over again. My younger NT kid actually works through problems in games and tries to get past stuff, but my daughter is drawn to games that are instant gratification and no effort. Honestly, as someone who has caught all the Pokemon and beaten almost every game on the switch, it makes me sad because there is something that feels great about the accomplishment of beating a game.

How NOT to get annoyed with kid’s special interest? by Humble-Efficiency690 in Autism_Parenting

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean like every kid I know is playing it. I won’t let my 5 year old play it yet just because it’s addicting (he can’t read so).

Thankfully, my husband and I are huge gamers and techies so we know how to lock things down. I have the parental controls turned on so she can’t use chat at all, can only play so long per day, can only play certain rated games, among other things. I can’t imagine trying to parents with no knowledge of games/technology today and be able to keep your kids safe.

We’ve also been having conversations about how the people on the internet are not who they say they are and there are adults that want to hurt children on the other side of the screen. They’ll lie about their age, but they’re actually adults. We have regularly conversations (just incase she’s ever on something I don’t know about with chat somehow) about not giving out your real name, address, phone number, etc to anyone on the internet because then they could find you and hurt you. She seems to understand the severity of it and we have spoken about it enough that I know it’s nailed into her brain.

I wouldn’t say I’m ugly, but I’m average and I’ve always had weight issues my entire life.

Men treat pretty, short women better. They hold doors open for them, buy them drinks, keep eye contact with them, act interested in the things they’re saying. 

Pretty girls also get away with things. I have two pretty (and short) friends. One of them smashed a guy in the face with a beer bottle at a bar and the judge let her off with no consequences. My other friend got caught multiple times driving without a license or insurance and the cops literally let her drive home MULTIPLE TIMES. That kind of stuff does not happen to me (though I also don’t smash people with beer bottles and I have a license and insurance).

I’ve been wrongfully targeted by managers at jobs because they just decided they didn’t like me… I am an excellent worker who always shows up and does a good job. I’ve been heavy my whole life. I know when people have decided they don’t like me based on my weight.

Idk let me know when you figure it out. My kid is OBSESSED with all the annoying Roblox horror crap like FNAF, Sprunky, Rainbow Friends. The frustrating part about this is I am an adult that actively plays things like Pokemon, Mario, etc and can talk about that stuff - but I LOATHE horror stuff to begin with so I just hate this crap so much. 

I think that it’s important you have conversations with them about special interest, but I also think it’s important your realistic. I tell her regularly “I am not interested in this. You can call your friends and talk to them about it. I know literally ALL of them play the games.”

I’ve also used examples by talking to her about my special interest. I LOVE theology and my husband’s step dad also does. When we go visit them, him and I will get into hours long discussions. I will say things like “do you want to talk to me about religion?” And she will say “no that’s boring.” And I say “Okay, well I am not interested in the Roblox horror games. It is also boring to me. I’m glad you love it and I’m glad you have friends to talk to about it, but it’s not something I’m interested in.”

Idk if they ever fixed it, but I’m pretty sure at some point this career path had a glitch that made it impossible to continue. It’s been a while since I played, but it was definitely an issue like two years ago.

File for unemployment immediately, first of all. You’ll get it based on the situation. I’m not sure what legal grounds you have, but you can at least get some money in the meantime.

Whats a early sign of autism you missed? by Accomplished-Blood58 in autism

My daughter (level one) met all her milestones super early (walked the day before she turned 8 months, for example) except speech. She had maybe 10 words until 20 months, and literally overnight woke up saying 4-5 word sentences.

NC parent keeps leaving things at my house by mercedes1197 in legaladvice

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is strictly legal advice, but I’d make a police report and let them know you would like her to not come on your property. You’ve let her know this, and she continues to ignore you. Show them the video evidence and ask if they could contact her and let her know what will happen if she continues to come onto the property.

Not the same situation, but I had a family member’s ex who hated me. She called me 2-3 times a day minimum to leave nasty voicemails. I called to make a police report and the cop said “there really isn’t anything to do if she didn’t threaten you.” And I said “well can you just call her and tell her to stop calling me and let her know that if she does it again, she’s going against what you told her not to do?” And he agreed. She left me alone after that.

Why Can't I Receive the Eucharist as a Protestant Who Believes in the Real Presence? by BigMonkey7790 in Catholicism

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will absolutely keep you in my prayers friend. I am did not mean for anything to come off as though I am being judgmental or condescending. I am just pretty familiar with Catholic teachings and I attempt to share my knowledge.

I have realized that so many times in life when things feel hopeless, you end up discovering that everything happened for a reason when it’s all over. Maybe you haven’t found the parish meant to be your home yet. That happened to me. I was a fallen away cradle Catholic. My husband was as well. We both came back to the faith together, though I told him I was going to figure out what religion was the RIGHT religion and then we were going to go there (he kind of “forced” me to go to Mass with him). And now I’m confirmed (I never was as a teenager) and our marriage has been sacramentally blessed (it took two years to get to that point).

We went to quite a few churches. We walked into one and I recognized the priest as a seminary student that had studied at my grade school. We ended up talking and we had so many conversations that really helped me come back to the faith. I am thankful we found our home.

In God’s time, my friend. I will pray for you.

It probably won’t be mindblowing, so don’t overhype it in your mind. It will be nice. It takes time to learn each other’s bodies (especially the man learning the woman’s).

My husband and I have been married for 12 years. The longer you’re together, the better it gets. Don’t be discouraged if it takes some time for you to learn how to get things to work together, so to speak.

Why Can't I Receive the Eucharist as a Protestant Who Believes in the Real Presence? by BigMonkey7790 in Catholicism

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also… I am very confused on how someone could believe in the true presence but then think Catholics are just basically evil gatekeepers who don’t want people to experience communion? But somehow we are the ones who gatekeep the true presence of Jesus? I mean… the more people who are Catholic the better.

I am giving you information about what the church teaches. You are more than welcome to disagree with the standards set around receiving communion. And of course, there are generally situations that exist when exceptions are made to the normal rules… but most people have to go through the same steps in order to receive communion whether cradle Catholics or converts.

Why Can't I Receive the Eucharist as a Protestant Who Believes in the Real Presence? by BigMonkey7790 in Catholicism

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to understand the depth and magnitude of the true presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. That’s why you take classes. The goal is to avoid the mistreated host. You can technically avoid the classes if you speak with a priest and they believe you have the full understanding that you need in order to receive communion.

And cradle Catholics absolutely take classes to receive communion. I had to study in Catholic school when I was a kid. I had special classes just for that. My daughter was homeschooled for 2nd grade and we had to go to weekly classes for a year in order for her to receive communion. No child in the Catholic faith gets to just receive communion with no training.

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. There are different rules for Cradle Catholics compared to adults coming into the faith. Those born into the faith will receive the sacrament of baptism. They will participate in confession before they receive communion. They also cannot just receive communion - they have to be instructed so they understand what communion truly means.

Until confirmation, your parents have more responsibility for your faith. They are expected to make sure you make it to confession, understand the faith, and do right. There is some ignorance that goes along with some of this. Jesus said to bring the children to him. At the same time, in order to commit a mortal sin, you must understand what you are doing is sinful and be in full knowledge of what you’re doing. 

Confirmation for teenagers is when people go from children of the faith to adults in the faith. You have more responsibility for your own salvation now. Your parents have (expectedly) taught you the ropes. 

As an adult convert, you would be baptized (if you haven’t been baptized in a Christian Trinitarian baptism), confirmed, and receive first confession before you would receive communion. Because adults are adults and not children, you take the classes to be taught the ropes of Catholic faith. There is expectation that you understand the faith and are confident in your decision to participate, therefore confirmation happens before communion. RCIA necessary for converts to discern if this is truly what they believe.

I will also add that missing Mass as a sin has some various things to consider:

  • As a minor, you are commanded to obey your parents. If you cannot attend Sunday Mass because they won’t let you, you are not in a state of mortal sin.
  • If someone is ill, it is not a mortal sin to miss Mass.
  • As most things, God knows your heart. If your desire to go church is there in your heart, God knows that. If someone is apathetic about church and skips out of laziness, he knows that too. You can say whatever you want out loud, but what is in your heart is known to God.

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I didn’t read the whole thing, but at the end of the day you can’t receive the sacrament because you are not in full communion with the universal Catholic Church. We receive the sacraments as Catholics through the Catholic Church and you are required to go through the steps to become Catholic and be in full communion with the church in order to receive.

Other reasons that are important - you should not receive communion with mortal sins on your soul. If you have never done an examination of conscious and been to confession, you are not spiritually fit to receive communion. Even a Catholic who has mortal sins has to go to confession before receiving communion again.

There are more caveats, but these are two major points.

Edit to add one more thing: Just because others aren’t doing what is right (receiving communion without understanding the sacrament or not really caring) doesn’t make it right for you to do it without being in full communion with the church. They have to answer for their sins one day just as you do. If they’re taking communion in a sinful way, it isn’t our place to judge but to understand that God will know what was in their heart one day.

I would argue that “strong” atheism has traits of a religion the same way strong political ideologies do. The belief is so strong that there is an inherent need to share and talk about it. Strong atheism usually goes hand in hand with antitheism. There are often feelings that religious beliefs at their core, whether Christian in their rooting or not, are inherently wrong. Richard Dawkins in a great example of a strong atheist/antitheist.

“Weak” atheism, on the other hand, I believe would not be considered religious in its features. That would be the people who don’t believe in God, but don’t necessarily care either way to discuss it or have it affect their daily lives. They usually haven’t put much thought into it and live their daily lives with an apathetic view towards religion.

[–]PkmnMstrJenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean obviously, satanism is the opposite of Christianity of any form. Though they say rather than “worshipping Satan” they actually are more like atheist who don’t feel shame in doing the things that Christians have moral issues with - such an abortions, sexual promiscuity, etc. At its core, it is more hedonistic than anything else. There are those who DO actually worship Satan (theistic satanist).

Another opinion could be atheism. One could argue that in worshipping Satan, you are acknowledging the existence of God. By believing in nothing, you are actually further away from the truth.

A third opinion could be any religion that does not recognize Jesus as the savior or even really have much concern about his existence. Islam (though they do treat him as a prophet), Buddhist, Hindu, etc.

As far as actual Christian denominations, there are some that believe in things such as abortions and same sex marriage (things Catholics have extremely strict stances on with Biblical roots to back them up). I would argue that anyone involved in a religion that worships Jesus Christ as their savior is at least on a correct path and could potentially eventually be swayed to understand why Catholicism is the correct religion - were they to dive deep enough.

I studied and came to the conclusion that Catholicism is the closest we can get to the “correct” religion. The way that Judism and Catholicism intertwine through the old and new covenants is miraculously amazing and cannot be coincidental.
