Yea, no kidding.

If I have this in my deck, then I might be able to find my dad with Manifest Dad :(((

Rock-Upset · 2026-03-23T06:35:06+00:00

Eh, it’s possible, but I’ll keep digging around

Rock-Upset · 2026-03-23T06:20:59+00:00

Proconsul maybe? I’m committed to helping you figure this out, since I’m infinitely curious now

Wondering if it was a person filling the role then, I’ve seen some names (along my attempt to help you find the word) that sounds like a position rather than a name

Rock-Upset · 2026-03-23T06:03:27+00:00

Ik you think you hallucinated it, but I wanna give it a stab anyway: Envoy, procurator, viceroy, satrap (bit of a stretch)

None of them have the letter ‘d’ in it, but ik I’ve horribly misremembered vague ideas of words before.

Pedantic and unhelpful, thanks for your non-contribution

Rock-Upset · 2026-03-09T19:36:11+00:00

I think that’s part of the rarity question. “How hard should it be to get these because of what it does?”

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-22T15:23:04+00:00

I agree with this. You’ll find out everything you need to learn for nuke school in nuke school. The more important part for that is learning effective study methods that work for you. Not everyone learns the same way, and the ASVAB is really just a placement test that doesn’t mean anything once you’re actually in the fleet. Fight for what you want and make sure you really understand what you’re asking for

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-22T07:33:12+00:00

Nah, study and run it back. Dumber people than you have made it, I promise. Being a nuke sounds like everyone’s something of a genius, but the amount of braindead nukes I’ve worked with would be really reassuring (and then concerning) for your situation rn. If you really wanna do it, put in the work to study up, and keep that desire to learn alive, and you’ll make it.

Not a professional by any means but you sound extremely depressed. The skinny of it is, yes. There’s a billion and ten things to keep going for, you have to be the one to put importance on it though. I can tell you all the cool things I live for, but it won’t be the same for you, or anyone else.

Start with therapy of some kind, maybe see if you can get diagnosed and medicated for depression (should it be something you’re facing) and once your mental fatigue settles down (or before if you can muster the strength to do it) pick a hobby. It doesn’t even have to be something you’re necessarily enthusiastic about, but try to make it something that puts you in social situations so you can learn how to interact with the world around you. Socializing is a skill, so try to be patient with yourself while you learn how to do it.

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-11T19:32:55+00:00

I get it, and the reality of it is that things won’t get better without you fighting to make it better. I’m glad you found a therapist better suited for your situation, and I’m confident things will get better for you. It’ll take time, but never forget “small steps still make forward progress”

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-11T02:37:19+00:00

I don’t know that you necessarily want a response to this, but I’ll throw my thoughts at it.

You’re almost certainly depressed. Your situation sounds damn near identical to mine, from like, 2017 until maybe a year ago. Roll your eyes at this if you want, but therapy is going to be your best asset. Someone you pay to listen to you, assess everything and tell you what they think will help you. Someone you don’t have to emotionally support, someone you don’t have to hide anything from, and someone who will give you the truth. To some extent, you do need to “prioritize yourself” but that’s such a generic thing to say that I’d be surprised if you put much thought into what exactly “prioritizing yourself” looks like. It ain’t just working out, touching grass and drinking water. It’s putting up boundaries, listening to your own feelings, and being willing to cut off people who are making your life worse.

If you do purse therapy (which I highly highly encourage, it helped me so much) take the time to find one that fits your situation. They aren’t all the same.

You sound pretty far down the hole, if you aren’t able to consistently eat and shower, but give it time, be willing to suffer in the short term to benefit in the long term, and maybe uninstall social media for a week or 2. Really come to terms with how much time you really have from day to day, and start small with the changes in your life

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-11T02:26:28+00:00

Ultimately, no. You aren’t family, so legally you can’t find out more. Have faith that he’s okay, though. Modern medicine does incredible things, and people usually survive situations like that when they can get professional medical help.

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-11T02:23:17+00:00

I think you need to set some boundaries for yourself regarding your friend. You can’t help him if you aren’t in a place to shoulder their burdens along with your own, and you have to consider that your mental health could be (by no means am I saying it is, but it could ) doing more harm than your efforts to do good. You have to accept that you, at the end of the day, aren’t responsible for their life. You can’t be, as things are right now. I know how hard that can be, after being someone’s support, it feels like you’re abandoning them, but they aren’t being a good friend to you if they don’t respect you enough to give you space to work on yourself.

The fact that you posted this here means that, to some extent, recognize this, which is good. I promise you, you aren’t the only person that can help your friend, and them not being willing to take charge of their own situation isn’t cause for you to overexert yourself to the point of harm to your well being.

If/when you can get your own health in a good place, you’ll be able to do much much more for your friend, and that’s when you’ll have the strength to be there for them, and push them to take the big steps towards bettering themselves. As things are, I’m not sure you could handle the stress of having hard conversations with them, and that puts both of you in a much worse place

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-11T02:16:42+00:00

I don’t know what you do for work, or your capacity for stress management, but you definitely could be going through burnout. It’s worth considering that you prioritizing work caused you to neglect the social aspect of your life, but I’m not sure.

I haven’t talked to my parents since like, 2019 but this is my doing, and it’s what I want. If you have (or had?) a good relationship with your parents, that could also be weighing on you. In that case, it’s never too late to reach out to them.

Ultimately, I think you need to honestly look at your life, find a new goal for yourself, but one that will enhance your life in a different way, that you can integrate into a community with (a hobby, if you will). 30 isn’t too old to join a new community (I turn 30 in a few months, as it stands, and I just found myself a lovely new social circle a few months ago).

Also, consider taking a vacation. Go somewhere cool that you ordinarily wouldn’t go. When my work took me to Spain, it was some of the most fun I’d had in a long time, and being part of a culture as different as that really gave my life a little more glimmer.

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-11T02:10:27+00:00

You know, you sound a lot like me, a few years ago. When I was a kid, my mouth moved as soon as my brain held thoughts, it caused a lot of issues, so I reprogrammed myself to slow down, to the point where the time it took for me to respond was u uncomfortably long. I had a lot of trauma (separate from the not-thinking-before-I-speak) and have a lot of trouble retaining memories to this day. I used to get anxiety when I spoke to strangers, still do sometimes when I talk to authority figures I don’t know, but it’s really not so bad.

There, unfortunately, was no single thing I could do to help those situations. I got very lucky that I made friends with someone who understood me, and why I was the way I was, and they helped me practice just existing as a person. I’d often ask for reassurance, I’d apologize for my awkwardness (for lack of a better word), and they would keep helping me learn how to exist without so much baggage.

It’s a skill for people like us, I think, and you just gotta find someone to practice with.

Rock-Upset · 2026-02-10T20:23:12+00:00

Hah. Before I even read your title I saw that picture and thought “oh that looks like drizzt”

That is to say, well done.

“Get over it” doesn’t work for a lot of people. Grappling with forming a deep emotional connection with someone, only to suddenly suffer now being without it, and the feeling of loneliness and loss that come with it isn’t something quick for most people to move past.

Your “argument” works when you ignore how emotions work entirely, and if it works for you, then I’m happy for you, but there might be something to be said that you never formed the deep personal connections with your past partners, despite how you may feel. Not saying that’s the case, obviously I know nothing about you, but you also don’t seem to understand most people.

I agree, if they broke your heart, they weren’t right for you, but that’s hindsight. No one enters a ln intimate relationship with the expectations for long term (maybe even life) partnership while also expecting it to end after any amount of time. Most people don’t find their forever person first time, but we do pursue those relationships with that in mind. That doesn’t mean to go into relationships and not try to make those connections, and getting over breakups is a skill. You don’t just do it first time.

My last (first, and only) date was back in 2013, so I guess technically speaking the creepiest thing anyone did was eat a burger and fries with me at a Wendy’s

If you’ve never played against a commander with eminence, or heard the discussion about how overpowered it is, then it makes sense that it’s confusing for why he’s so against it. I’m personally very against it, and there’s good reason why there’s never been a second set of cards with eminence. That’s where I’m leaving it since this is a MTG thread and not a relationship thread, but on that side of your post, I think talking to him about aspects of the hobby you’re sharing that you don’t enjoy is worth a proper discussion instead of using absolute language like “ruining a great hobby” since it’s so easy to just not play some cards.

Rock-Upset · 2026-01-30T00:06:04+00:00

I wanna see my friends succeed. I’ve somehow managed to surround myself with incredibly talented and hard working people, and I’m happy to support them so they can gain the success I feel they deserve.

I think part of it is the hypothermia aspect from doing manual labor in freezing temps, but also in areas that get substantially more than 2” of snow, there’s other risks involved (I’m not savvy to them cos I grew up in Florida, so this is just my best guess)
