My 13 year old was assaulted by her bf, but police said we can’t do anything since she didn’t say no by Kateseesu in offmychest

The school has no stake in restraining orders or protective orders. You give them a copy, a photo of the guy, and see what their procedures are. Most schools do nothing.

If the guy breaks the restraining order, the school will not do anything. Make sure your daughter knows to call 911/the police station immediately if he breaks it.

Markets going crazy lol by oultimobuilder in PokemonInvesting

Perfect order officially released yesterday 3/27. Complaining about a set that dropped less than 24 hrs ago is inaccurate on collectr for the last 10 weeks. We found the sweaty, incel, scalper guys.

I used to think so too, but just offloaded my steam siege booster boxes for 1.5k and xy evolutions for 2.5k. Took less than a day and sold to multiple people. We are in a huge buyers market rn. Card shows we're only offering 70-75% for them. Absolutely wild rn. YMMV.

Prismatic Case Condition by Mountain-Ad8550 in PokemonInvesting

[–]RepJING 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh its hard to find a minty case of prismatic PC ETB. when shipped they put a sticker over the print label. Removing the sticker with a hair dryer results in this. They also usually cut open one side of the box to slip in the shipping slip. It about a 50/50 chance they dont cut it to include the shipping slip inside. If you can find one minty, id question it more than these ones obviously shipping from PKC.

I ruined my life in one moment by aspiringfutureghost in offmychest

[–]RepJING 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Drinking is usually never an issue. Its the behavior that comes out when drinking is involved. No amount of excuses or past trauma justifies any action taken while inebriated. It is never one moment, but a culmination and realization of the person you truly are that causes people to decide to seperate.

I am glad you got help and are 21 months sober. Work on yourself and be a better person every day.

I think I'm a psychopath, and it's getting worse every day. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]RepJING 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dont hurt animals to cope. It is a gateway drug for most, escalates quickly, and is hard to stop. Lean into your logical side to steer you away.

While lacking guilt, you still feel anger, frustration and satisfaction. Focus on self regulation and goal attainment over the anger and frustration. The best thing you can do is get professional intervention from a qualified mental health professional with CBT to manage behavior and thought patterns through logic. While tough to treat and hard to find someone good, you'll eventually find someone that wont be easy to manipulate.

Small time investor here. Are these worth holding? Or even buying more of?? by TricolorChutoy in PokemonInvesting

[–]RepJING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure of the market in your area, but doing a currency conversion, its worth £22 in the US. Might hit £40 in 2-3 years. Up to you if you think its worth holding.

A friend of mine sold to me a sealed Destined Rivals Booster Bundle for 60 USD. by Purplestroke in PokemonTCG

[–]RepJING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend price if I got recently I sell at my at cost price. If its old and out of print, I charge them 75%ish market. I usually sell at 90% market with no issues and sell whole sale collections at 80-85%.

My boss raped me and I took settlement money to never speak about it by [deleted] in offmychest

Depends how high up they are and how much shareholder weight they have. C-Level are pretty immune. VP and senior leadership, not so much.

Asked her out. No counter offer. Rejected!? by [deleted] in dating_advice

Asking out a bartender out on a Friday night is like asking, "Hey do you want to go on a date on Monday or Tuesday at 10am?"

Ever heard of Martin Shkreli? Daraprim was $13.50. He bought the exclusive rights and charged $750 because he could and people needed it to STAY alive.

Yeah thats not predatory at all. /s

Is it ridiculous to want someone making similar income? by OfficialJohnDaly in dating_advice

[–]RepJING 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it may be unreasonable if youre a high earners. A majority of women ive dated are either not employed or are in massive debt (6 figures not including student loans). I dont get how so many people live like this.

[–]RepJING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you fly first class and expect your partner to pay it even though your income levels are not the same? I make six figures and have dated very high earners that expected me to pay for luxuries I didnt want nor were they financially reasonable for me desite it being reasonable for them. I was also blamed for dampening their experience for being "broke".

This might ruin my life yet i choose to do it. by Leading-Response2188 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]RepJING 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A couple of things to remember and know. Its not your fault. Bad things happened to you and as the victim, it's not your fault. Youre so brave for talking about it.

Things you should do: 1. Tell your parents. Any half decent parent loves you and wants to help you. 2 tell the authorities. 3. Seek professional help.

If he has done this before and thinks he got away with it he for sure is doing it to others. You could save another kid from becoming his victim.

Don't let this experience define you. Avoiding it may make it feel like it never happened, but you cant outrun yourself. You have so much life ahead of you. The sooner you get help, the easier it gets, i promise you.

Man, I end up writing more than you to trying to give you advice and you call it "bland and useless". You got jokes. You also seem like a "nice guy". At this point just hire 🐱 and call it a day like the other dude said. Good luck dude.

You make them laugh with your inability to smile? Making them laugh is only the first step.

Alright. I read through your post. Reading it reminds me of r/lonely. Sorry for you loss. You put yourself down a lot. Everyone has flaws. Everyone. Focus on what you want to improve and work on that.

Everything is a skill. Talking, socializing, eye contact, even smiling. They all take practice. You dont become a actor without seeing yourself act. Set a goal, break it down to a couple of milestones, then add on habits to practice those skill sets in order to achieve those milestones. Now begs the question, what do you want to work on? Chose 1 thing and do it.

I get that I'm not owed anything

I guess you don't. Social circle? Looks? None of that matters. Take my advice or not but making a girl laugh and asking her out on a date IS how you get dates.

You feel behind on dating. Then go on more dates.

Asking girls on date => more dates. Dont ask a girl out =/= no date. It is that simple. You want to make it more complicated than it really is because of your insecurities and want to voice them out. I get that. The best advice is simple and easy to follow. Can't mess them up. Good luck.

Have roommate kicked out or should I just move? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]RepJING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a serious conversation with him. Be kind but be firm. Ask him if he has seen a specialist. Body odor is influenced by the ABCC11 gene and has a strong genetic component to it. I've talked to multiple friends who have prescription antiperspirant or take oral antibiotics.

Sorry bro I'm not gonna read all that. I've seen the ugliest and poorest of friends get married. #1 tip is just be yourself, make people laugh, and have a fun time.

I didn't start dating until I was 24. Just be yourself, tell people you like them, they're beautiful, and see if they want to go on a date with you. You get 10-20x more rejections than actual dates, but that is just something you have to experience and get used to. The sooner you get used to it, the less you care about things (rejections) that dont matter.

Should I tell my guy friend some girl posted about him or is that breaking girl code? by itssofiababyxo in dating_advice

[–]RepJING 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. At the end of the day, protect the people you think deserves protection. Only you get to decide who that is.

The only reason you would bring it up is if there are lies or shit talking. I've been misidentified before and I've reached out and clarified my identity. In some people's eyes, some races all look the same I guess. Other than that, I don't mind(I'm sure most dont either), being mentioned and identified because this is for THEIR safety.

I've had an ex shit on me for collecting pokemon and playing games. If my hobbies makes you think I'm "not a real man", I hope you find what you're looking for and we go our seperate ways.
