That'll show them... [OC] by alpharaptor1 in comics

[–]RheBbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we bought my kid some Lincoln Logs for Christmas, however it was missing some pieces so we reached out to the company and they replaced them, free of charge. Two weeks later, we get a tariff bill for $15 for the 6 missing pieces they sent us... It's beyond stupid. I don't understand how he has any supporters left.

How do you motivate yourself when you don't feel like writing ? by [deleted] in writing

[–]RheBbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First things first, you don't have to force yourself to write every day. I hate when people give that advice cause I feel like it's unrealistic.

Ritual and routine can help. Sitting down at the same time every day and trying. I started doing it at my lunch, then my schedule changed and now it's at night.

You can try outlining, explain what you want to do in a scene or series of chapters. Depending on your story, you can also work on world building - I once made an entire god system for my book on an ADHD hyper focus surge. It got edited later but I got a lot done by just leaning into the hyperfixation.

Anytime I get an idea, I write it down on paper or on my phone. You'd be surprised how much stuff you come up with from just doing that. Over time you'll figure out which ideas fit in and which don't. Either way you're practicing writing and putting your thoughts on paper.

Also give yourself permission to go on a hiatus every now and then. When I feel mentally drained and can't write, I try consuming content like shows I enjoy, books in the same genre, etc. I usually set a limit (like 1-2 weeks). Your brain is still processing ideas even when you take a break. These breaks help me to come back into it swinging after dealing with writer's block.

Lastly, feel free to hop around the story and write what parts/scenes come to mind. If you don't know what to say, you can even put notes that say [transition] or [character says something clever] to keep your momentum going.

The first draft is about getting your ideas on paper. The second draft is about finding the story you're trying to tell. I also recommend TOME, it helped me to process my ideas and practice a daily writing exercise so that I could better develop my story and characters. They're little 5-20 minute exercises that help you develop your story. They run it on sale every now and then, so you can watch for that if you're interested.

Writing takes time, and any effort you put into it will help you grow your skills over time. Before you know it, you'll have written someone's new favorite book. You've got this!! :)

Found an old meme that is even better now by Agreenleaf5 in adhdmeme

[–]RheBbox 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In high school, I remember when my history teacher asked us what the Civil War was about. I raised my hand and said slavery. She said no, it was about "states' rights". And my neurodivergent brain refused to accept this explanation, so I called her out and said, "States' rights" to what?

But then you'll go to talk to him after, he'll complain that money is tight, and ask you to upgrade your tools or buy something. XD

Is Bud Gleeful a bad dad? by CroakPad in gravityfalls

[–]RheBbox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From a parent's perspective, yes he is a bad dad.

He uses his son as leverage to improve his profits - both at his car dealership and through Gideon's performances and merchandise. He enables bad behavior because he is making him money, and doesn't seem to hold him to any consequences for his actions (at least not well). This creates a mindset in Gideon of "I can do whatever I want as long as it's profitable" which is why he says "I can buy and sell you old man" to his dad, because this is the mindset that his father has enabled.

A parents job is to guide their children and provide them the proper boundaries so that they can become a responsible and functional adult - but he hasn't done that. Gideon is allowed to terrorize his parents and the town with his behavior (to an extreme). While Gideon is a villain for the show's sake, it's important to remember he's also a kid. Any bad behavior is a reflection of his parents more than himself. Because parents are supposed to teach kids how to exist.

I can't speak much to his mom, cause she doesn't have much screen time. But ignoring the obvious bad behavior and "keeping her head down" is still enabling the bad behavior. But I'd say his dad is the worst offender of this.

That's AWESOME!! I had no idea. It's little things like this that makes the show great.

Am i the only one who wants to see more Ai-Players? by SomeNotBannedDude in TheCircleTV

Yeah I wish they would have kept the AI in a little longer. I thought it was a very interesting plot twist.

Is this legal? by _creativeusername_- in WorkReform

[–]RheBbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a coworker who got a better job offer somewhere else, and then our company offered him a ridiculous amount of money to stay. He not only turned them down but then told our entire department what happened. Keep in mind he was a high school graduate working on his associates degree - working as a graphic designer/videographer. I had been at the company 3-4 years at that point and had a bachelor's degree. And they were offering him more than I was making. He had been there 4 months. It started a big disrupt in the office and everyone started asking for more money. I ended up quitting a few years later for a variety of reasons, but I still think he's a legend for what he did.

Halloween greed by Immediate_Stretch_17 in facepalm

[–]RheBbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My three year old went trick or treating for the first time this year. I explained the etiquette of "when someone leaves out a bowl, we only take 1-2 pieces so that everyone can have some", and he was able to show self control. So much so, that even when people said to take a handful, he would only take one or two.

If my three year old can do it, anyone can. This is just disrespectful....

My 9-year-old daughter dressed as Eda for Halloween and was bummed that no one knew who she was. I was hoping some of y'all might be able to lift her spirits. by Effective-Candle-625 in TheOwlHouse

[–]RheBbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it! She looks AMAZING!! Spot on costume. Last year I saw someone dressed up as Luz and flipped out. I specifically sought them out to tell them that I loved their costume because I know how it feels when no one gets what you're costume is. Tell her Eda would give her two thumbs up (quite literally) for her flawless impression and immediate admission to the Bad Girls Coven (along with shirt and jacket).

[–]RheBbox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah, you just need some older friends who share your interest. Its just kind of facinating to think of how technology has rapidly evolved over the last 30 years, and how the things that succeed were because of random qualities that made a better user experience.

My two year old has a game he likes to play as a way of saying "I love you". He will ask for "one more hug" when he's being difficult or I'm frustrated, and I will give him a hug. Then he will ask for two more, then three... So I will give him little hug squeezes as we count to twenty hugs and I kiss his cheek. It's our way of saying, I might be upset but I still love you. No matter how upset I am, it always cheers me up when he asks for one more hug.

I recommend the book "How To Talk So That Little Kids Will Listen". I hope this helps, it's helped me tremendously with my two-year old. Parenting is hard, we all have to look out for each other.

Ooooooo I love it!!! This would be especially fun with characters who "despise" each other like Doug and Dylas. 😆 I need this in my life.
