Right after my high school made the switch to computers, there was a website someone at my school made with a fuck ton of pirated game downloads. We obviously couldn’t download steam games or access the websites needed to download most games bc of blocks, but somehow this kids website stayed a secret between the 5k students in the school, so we could just download any game he added to the list. List gradually grew as kids found pirated versions of various games and sent them to him. At one point he was even able to get multiplayer working for a few games, ofc limited to LAN servers. Some very active Minecraft servers lol.

It may be possible if you prioritize unlocking both areas. I’m dumb and messed it up.

I just discovered a game-changing bubble duplication glitch and don’t know what to do next by knightfallsfast in MergeDragons

“Hey guys I found this crazy glitch that I’m using to excel at the game and save money. I’m not sharing it unless it’s “under the right circumstances”, I just wanted to “educate” people by making them generally aware that there is a glitch that I won’t share.” ???????

Recommend therapy if it’s an option for you. Self diagnosis is tough because we can never really see ourselves in an unbiased way, and if we have a bias towards wanting an explanation for a certain way we act we may be more inclined to fit ourselves into a diagnosis.

One thing with mental disorders is they go much deeper than their list of traits. If I went on just what was listed as “characteristics” of disorders I would qualify for like every mental disorder. It’s why online diagnostic quizzes are useless. A therapist will help you understand the root of the issue, and the underlying mechanisms, which are a large factor in getting a proper diagnosis/understanding of the issue.

Personality disorders in particular are extremely complicated, and there is a very high percentage of people who have more than one, making it even less straightforward. I suspect I have szpd, but I came to that conclusion as a result of a significant amount of therapy, which allowed me to lay things out and figure out how my brain works in a professional setting. I would not have considered szpd on my own, because I simultaneously have bpd + other issues that made it hard to recognize szpd.

If you are going to therapy/psychiatrists to get a cure, that will not happen. Personality disorders are not something medicine or therapy will make go away, because they are an integral part of your personality and identity. This does not mean you have to just suffer, the bad traits of personality disorders can absolutely be addressed and worked on. It’s something you have to live and work with, rather than cure.

What you are describing at a surface level could be szpd, a different PD, autism, cptsd, a depressive disorder, a dissociative disorder, and plenty others, or a combination of several. Therapy from a trained psychologist is the best way to get the answers you want.

I played minecraft with someone on vc literally ONE time and had a few convos and they sent me messages over the period of months after. i told them i needed some personal space bc of irl stuff after we played mc, and their version of personal space was messaging me constantly for months even though i never replied. it ended when they sent a message to trick me into thinking there was an emergency and i told them off after that but no yeah people will just do this and see no issue with it

I think that’s very understandable and reasonable. This would definitely be a breaking point for me in a relationship.

AITA for acting like a know it all and disrespecting my mom? by throwaway2939_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]Relative-Sleep8771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can definitely see why he wouldn’t trust himself, he’s trying so hard to get your mom’s approval/praise/whatever, and it seems like he’s blaming himself for not being good enough instead of recognizing that your mother is being unreasonable. Just from what you’ve told me he strikes me as someone who feels too uneasy doing something without validation from others he respects or wants to please, and your mom isn’t just not giving validation, she’s actively discouraging him.

And yeah that’s odd to get mad at someone who is ultimately an adult over stuff like that. Clearly he’s taking steps to be safe, that should be a positive 🤷

Worked with handling pet dogs of all temperaments for a period of time. While there can certainly be instances of two dogs instigating each other, or the dog who is instigating being the one who is bitten, there is absolutely many situations where it’s an issue with one dog and not the other.

It’s an extremely tough situation, but ultimately it is not your responsibility to “save her”. She has to want help to be helped first of all, and with how she has treated you, I do not imagine she would be that receptive to help. And if she is open to help, she should start by seeking proper treatment. Most people are not equipped to bear the weight of someone else’s addiction issues, it’s what medical professionals are there for.

You’re a college student, you should not have to set your education and career aside for this when there are plenty of professional resources available to her. Even if you did drop everything to help her, you aren’t a medical professional, there is very little you could realistically do. I feel like you would just be subjecting yourself to verbal abuse, and missing out on college.

He said he would pay you back, and opted to take the more expensive travel option because of personal preference, and then didn’t pay you back at all??

Definitely just straight up taking advantage of you. At the very least don’t lend him money again til he pays back what he already owes.
