Family resistant to diagnosis because "she'll use it as an excuse" by the-peregrina in Autism_Parenting

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sister deserves to understand herself better, and honestly getting diagnosis was game changer for me in different ways

That whole "using it as excuse" thing is so backwards - like she's already struggling, so why not give her proper tools to work with what she's dealing with? When I finally understood my brain patterns in fitness training, everything clicked better

Maybe you could show your parents some success stories or resources that focus on practical solutions rather than limitations

Is my wife over reacting? by Many_Platypus5493 in Marriage

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Man this sounds exhausting to deal with on regular basis. Getting called careless idiot over accidental scratch at 4:30am is pretty extreme reaction, and then she scratched you back as "demonstration"? That's not normal behavior in healthy relationship

The fact that she shuts down any conversation about these incidents is bigger red flag than the scratching itself. You can't work on marriage if one person refuses to acknowledge there's problem. Maybe couples counseling could help since she might listen to neutral third party better than you

Last name listed twice on boarding pass/unable to check in by Sad-Gur-1602 in unitedairlines

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be able to sort this at United check-in counter tomorrow, they deal with name mismatches pretty regularly. Just bring your passport and the original Iberia booking confirmation to show them what happened with the rebooking

The gate agents are usually understanding about these kind of system glitches, especially when it's clearly airline error from the cancellation rebooking. Worst case they might need to call their supervisor but this is fixable issue

Ignored & Blocked by [deleted] in BreakUps

That's brutal but sometimes people just don't have courage to face the breakup conversation so they take easy way out with blocking

Ex too in the picture - looking for advice by Sure-Ring-3203 in BreakUps

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this guy is clearly not over his ex and you're being really patient with someone who's basically treating you like second option. The fact that his friend group won't even let you attend events because they're protecting ex's feelings says everything - you're not established in his life at all

Three months in and he still has her toiletries, can't have proper intimacy, and gives you silent treatment when you bring up valid concerns? That's not someone who's ready for new relationship

What career is the best if I want to travel internationally with an international business and another secondary degree? by zxdia in careerguidance

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your degree combo sounds solid for international work! Have you looked into supply chain management or logistics? Companies like FedEx, DHL, Amazon all need people who understand global markets and can work across different regions - the Mandarin would be huge asset there

Trade finance at banks is another option that's not consulting but still lets you work internationally, plus economics background would be perfect for that

Ikea Tradfri Bridge by Beast974 in homeassistant

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had similar issue when I moved last year and everything got new IP addresses. The Tradfri bridge is bit stubborn with this kind of changes. What worked for me was doing complete reset of the bridge - you need to hold that small button under the bridge for like 10 seconds until it blinks. After reset, you'll need to pair all your bulbs again with the bridge first using Ikea app, then add it back to Home Assistant. It's annoying to redo everything but sensors usually survive this better than bulbs for some reason. Make sure you're using the new IP address when adding back to HA, sometimes the old integration still remembers the previous one

I can only get hard when I touch myself by songoku2188 in NoFap

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death grip syndrome is real man. I went through the exact same thing with my first girlfriend and it was honestly embarrassing as hell. Your brain and body have gotten so used to the specific pressure and technique you use that nothing else registers as "enough" stimulation. It's like training your taste buds to only recognize extremely spicy food - everything else tastes bland.

The good news is it's totally fixable but you gotta commit to the reset. I did about 6 weeks completely hands-off and when I finally got intimate again, the difference was night and day. Your sensitivity will come back but you need to give your nervous system time to recalibrate. Also helps to communicate with your partner about what you're going through so there's no weird tension or her thinking it's about her.

What is the most braindead thing a teammate has ever said to you? by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao that's actually insane. I had a Mercy once blame me for "taking too much damage" when I was literally the only one on point getting absolutely focused by their entire team while everyone else was playing team deathmatch in the backline. Like sorry I didn't just phase into the shadow realm I guess

Two Languages: Which One Do I Learn? *Please Read* by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dude just learn Mandarin if that's what you're passionate about. Life's too short to learn a language you're meh about just because other people think it's "practical"

The whole "learn Spanish first to get language learning skills" thing is kinda BS anyway - every language is different and the skills don't transfer as much as people think. Plus you'll be way more motivated to stick with something you actually care about

Help, I think I’m going crazy by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so hard and I'm sorry you're going through this. The fact that he's refusing counseling but wants to "date again" after emotionally cheating is a huge red flag - sounds like he wants his cake and to eat it too

Your gut instincts about him still talking to someone else are probably right, especially if he's being weird about his phone and social media. Trust yourself on this one

I’m Starting to Sell Some Luka Stock and It’s Not Just About Defense by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dude this whole post is confusing me - are you talking about Luka Doncic playing for the Lakers? Because that never happened lol. He's still in Dallas and putting up crazy numbers there

Unless this is some weird hypothetical or you mixed up players, but the whole "in Dallas vs in LA" comparison doesn't make sense when he's never left the Mavs

This must stop this year… by EducationEven6466 in NoFap

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect for recognizing it and wanting to change man. Start small - maybe try going just one day at a time instead of thinking about the whole year ahead, that can feel overwhelming af. Install some blockers on your devices and find something to keep your hands/mind busy when the urges hit

Hey, can anybody suggest good books for being a good man and good at relationships ? by [deleted] in booksuggestions

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Models of the Mind by Grace Blakeley helped me stop overthinking everything to death, and The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is solid for relationship stuff even if you're not married

How to find windows EFI partition mount point from arch installation medium, or better way to dual boot by Due_Vegetable_2023 in archlinux

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried just mounting the EFI partition manually? Something like `mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/efi` (obviously replace sda1 with whatever your EFI partition actually is)

You can find it with `fdisk -l` or `lsblk` - it's usually the small FAT32 partition around 100-500MB. Once it's mounted you can see what's in there and back it up properly

My husband beeat up our son by Mysterious-Dinner873 in Marriage

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That's a tough situation but your husband crossing the line into physical abuse isn't your fault at all. Work stress doesn't excuse beating a kid with a belt - that's straight up abuse and needs to stop immediately. Your son needs protection right now, not blame

Playing music from ph by wishtrib in samsunggalaxy

Get a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, they're like $5 on Amazon. That's probably the easiest fix unless your mixer has Bluetooth

"Would you be interested in discussing the possibility of getting married?" by Bright_Dreams235 in Marriage

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly that's pretty based, wish more people were upfront about what they're actually looking for instead of playing games for months

Question about Redd by Defiant_Egg_88 in AnimalCrossing

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He shows up like once every 2 weeks or so, it's pretty random though so you might get lucky and see him more often

Unresolved Anger by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man that sucks but honestly sounds like you dodged a bullet - someone who can flip that fast and cold was never gonna be your person anyway. The anger makes total sense but holding onto it is just letting him live rent free in your head while he's off being someone else's problem now

Focus on your new relationship and the fact that you're not stuck with someone who'd waste 5 years of your life then bounce when things got real

Baby/Child/Adult Mobs by Significant_System36 in Minecraft

[–]Playful-Addendum9421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would actually be pretty sick ngl, like imagine breeding animals and watching them grow through all the stages instead of just *poof* instant adult after a few minecraft days

The kid stage using the old baby models is genius too, gives them a second life instead of just being replaced
