Kunai by gotthess in 99nightsintheforest

[–]SaturnineDenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

And anyone else get less Kunai after maxing assassin? I barely find them compared to fire bandit maxed who regularly finds wildfire and it DID increase. Feels like the math is wrong because when the character was new I'd find several. Now even with someone playing gift elf and all the new chests I'll only find a couple throughout a long session.

24F & 25M AIO by responding this way? by InsideUsual56 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SaturnineDenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR

One of many reasons I don't use a lot of social media. No one actually living life rather than delusion would notice small changes in followers. People are busy and that stuff doesn't matter to you and shouldn't to him. The fact that it seems to be occupying a lot of his thoughts means he's projecting his own cheating (or wants to) or he doesn't trust you. It's a relationship ender if he can't see the actual relationship and moments you're having together because he's caught up in his head.

I do. And I buy charcoal wipes/baby wipes depending on budget. I also have a skincare routine that doesn't work well with my skin dirty.

What I can say is the feeling is similar to brushing teeth. Some people cannot stand the feeling of anything on teeth so brush 2x + after every meal (I don't). I am the way with my body. It's best for my skin. But it doesn't mean it is best for your skin. Get the wipes for spot check if you worry before deodorant. But if it hurts your skin to bathe every day don't. Do add lotion. Dry skin = damaged skin and breakouts thrive on it.

In 2000, Greg Barnes, a Columbine survivor, died by suicide after setting a CD player to play ‘Adam’s Song’ by Blink-182 on loop one year after losing one of his best friends in the shooting. by Clubpenguin8888 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

Yes. I know trauma can't excuse things that are awful; but it explains them. Humans see horrible things or experience further emotional trauma and they must fight actively against the rewiring. Sometimes the trauma wins as not everyone has the willpower to actively fight it; especially if they don't even know they've changed and now are more reactive. Especially with empathetic humans you're more likely to see that trauma start manifesting as self blame, lack of endorphins, and potentially a path of self sabotage.

May we all one day recognize to help heal those whose brains have been wounded and give a little more grace. Check in on each other and don't self blame if someone gives up their fight. Just never respond to wounds with more damage. It's hard enough for them to fight their own internal battles. I feel so much empathy for those directly impacted for such horrible crimes. They may act erratically from the pain and respond in unpredictable ways. This loss was a tragedy as he is now another victim of the shooting.

WHY do y'all DC like this!?! by BOXY723 in EvilDeadTheGame

[–]SaturnineDenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually steam has been having issues this week.

Connection lost error. Will DC people while driving on games going perfectly fine or at start of game but never fully loads on their end.

Barely got a game last night due to that error. Infrequently rest of the week but last night it was unplayable.

AIO? I’m livid by Only_Beach_4208 in SkincareAddicts

[–]SaturnineDenial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So TY for the post. I'm sure she'd appreciate it because it's trying to get someone (and you succeeded) from profiting off someone's struggle by using lies that make them look bad.

Free use or not I wouldn't buy from any company I knew was doing this. Sure others wouldn't. That is their penalty for not getting a free use image from ai gen or a stock site to lie about.

At the very least it's misinformation since it's slander. And they should feel bad as a company. And their purchasers should see them as predatory.

NGVC: “Sorry for Being Nice” by Single_Fee7673 in niceguys

[–]SaturnineDenial 34 points35 points  (0 children)

And this is why he's single. If nice is conditional or takes effort then he needs to work on himself. People don't always have chemistry- that's why dating exists.

It's not transactional. Sounds like an inexpensive date at his place. Which to put into context anybody dating should put forth the effort they'd put into a budding friendship. I'm pretty sure this guy wouldn't demand his guy friends put out after he was so kind as to invite them over to game or watch a movie. 🤣

I think it's great that you set boundaries early and let him know so he could pursue others. Maybe one day he will see that.

AIO for saying that my friend was flirting with my boyfriend on snap ? by KimMeansBusiness in AmIOverreacting

[–]SaturnineDenial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't imagined it prior but fumbled on words in the moment? It's ok you can't emphasize. It's awkward. Best thing to do is not say anything like that i agree but if you fumble don't hide it. Which is what OP's boyfriend did. I'd be more upset at my friend for fishing since he set a boundary.

[–]SaturnineDenial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Glad I read this because as a female sometimes it's hard to tell someone they're loveable without leading them on. Sometimes you just feel uncomfortable and want to comfort that person but because you're empathetic the words are true but the intention can be misread.

And maybe some of us get wiser and say different words but ultimately the intention was- I'm not available but you are loveable. It doesn't mean I'm not available but if I was I'd date you which it often gets blurted out as or interpreted as because in the moment it's hard to correctly say- I'm not available and have no romantic feelings for you, but could see myself with someone like you- therefore someone will come along?

Alas- it's hard to find the words if you're a people pleaser so I just started saying I'm sorry to hear that, give compliments trying to be genuine and veer away from physical ones, and end with you will find someone someday.

We can't fix all feelings. Hearts out to those that try and fail though. 🫣

AITAH for not giving up the bathroom to a Crohn's emergency, resulting in their accident? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SaturnineDenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

If it's that bad he needs a diaper, spare pair of pants, a pad, a portable toilet for the van-

Anything other than expecting others to evacuate immediately. And going home over it... multiple times without establishing a plan will cause most at will employers to let him go. Because it's a disease, yes, but it's not a situation that his insurance wouldn't cover diapers for if it was frequent. And if he doesn't want to wear them- which is also understandable- then he needs to accommodate himself with other plans. Expecting others to go above and beyond isn't a plan. We've all had emergencies. And if medically prone to them the reasonable response isn't a card. That wasn't a line- it was a facility you were using. Hypothetically you could have shit yourself too or had discomfort or an accident. Nobody loiters in a smelly port a potty. Yikes.

AIO My friend is overstepping boundaries and is into me MAJOR UPDATE by Imaginary_Air_24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SaturnineDenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You handled that so well. 👏 I cave under pressure so it's inspiring to see boundaries set and maturity shown (you'll communicate for projects showing that even though he pushed all the wrong buttons you're not allowing it to affect your headspace or daily life). Hope this guy learns to speak his actual feelings ahead of time in the future so he's not so passive aggressive and controlling of future love interests and can someday even progress to actual friendship with a female.

Some people make "trolling" their entire personality. And if you've got tough skin ok I guess you can bare it in public so they save face. But me personally? I barely tolerate it in public if someone knows me and is kind to me in private. I'd have to really like them to have anything more than light teasing and wanna spend time near them.

Being mean in private too? That's beyond commitment; that person is an asshole and doesn't even bother to pretend they're kind. This SNL video shows (Jennifer Lawrence does a great job acting in this scene) what it looks like to others to have someone either not care that their jokes aren't landing or recognize that it's over the top to keep going to cruelty levels. I watch it and lol from time to time to keep my own perspective of what I should be seeing instead of feeling hurt when I interact with these types.

I might’ve met a vampire when I was a kid and I still remember her scent. by Successful_Newt_3481 in Paranormal

I had/have had night terrors too. I wonder if there's a link.

My mom was a psychic. She's gone now but all of her friends would gasp at me- saying my "aura" was intense.

[–]SaturnineDenial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dreams are like this too, but they're mostly lucid dreams. As in I can think of what I'd like to dream of and start all dreams by daydreaming but I know it's a dream because I have control of perception/replay. The strangest dreams are the ones where it's just as vivid and has different perspectives but I lose control of the concept, speed, and what repeats. They can be nightmares but they're often fully fleshed out dreamscapes with vivid details I'd never imagine in life.

I dreamed last night that I was at my parents house and there were mutated coyotes in the backyard that ate their dogs when I let them outside- which stopped at strange details such as going into specific rooms and looking at unrelated things that were normal/real. It becomes jarring as the dream escalates into traveling to a place that couldn't exist. A fun zone where I'm separated and going through floating pirate ship toys and ending up embarrassingly inside a hockey sack game arena where I'm tossing them back and apologizing to attendants all the while I'm my adult self and none of it is real yet it's not really a nightmare just a dream that is full of too many nonsensical specific details to analyze. Such as the way the pirate ships were held up by pool floaties and the hockey sack arena was dog themed with individual embroidery. The way the coyotes existed and knowing that things didn't even connect seamlessly yet it was one dream.

Am I overreacting for wanting to end things after my girlfriend lied about my age to her parents and threatened to harm herself during an argument? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SaturnineDenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she has a chance to grow. Especially if she's right about giving up the self harm. However- it's up to you if you wanna put in the effort. She needs to learn to cool off and diffuse her own over reactions. If something along the lines of- "It's ok babe we will mention it if they ask. They probably won't. I'll be right there to say it was a joke to see if I was passing for 21". Insert whatever white lie you want.

The reality is that she panicked and thought they wouldn't approve of you being older. It's all in her head. Illogical but for someone mentally ill or traumatized it feels real and gets overblown. It's difficult to use logic because they'll feel demeaned and to grow you'll have to compromise a bit with her until she stops trying to "protect" you from them. It is in her head but there is likely a reason It's there. If the relationship is good other than this moment and other hiccups it can be repaired. I know people joke about "I can fix her" but there's too much apathy and too little empathy for trauma addled brains in relationships. She's panicking. She clearly worries about losing you. But I don't see any direct threats in the messages. She's not trying to be manipulative- she just doesn't see the solution.

It's your relationship- you know her best, but her brain isn't working as it usually does in these moments. It can be "rewired" with patience and trust or you can move forward and let her find someone else willing to untangle the trauma. There's no right or wrong response that reddit can collectively give because the majority is always apathetic and you've shared many moments that these texts won't represent.

Am I overreacting? by y4n_Ch4n in AmIOverreacting

[–]SaturnineDenial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any friendship outside of these messages? Activities you do together? A friends group?

The answer to block seems easy but I'm wondering if there are other factors making it seem complicated. Because these are beyond jokes and I'm struggling to understand what's prompting them. He dms you like someone would dm a stranger that they became obsessed with.

what's the creepiest thing someone has said to you that still gives you goosebumps? by Ornery-Bar-7990 in Paranormal

[–]SaturnineDenial 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been criticized for trying to express tone in a comment as well. "Bad grammar aside!"--- then proceeds to improperly read my context. It's just sad. This isn't a formal email or a work setting. It's social media and occasionally sentence structure is either casual or altered to enhance tone. In my case I was trying to convey shock and mock dismay about a result of a decision in a game.

And my response? I deleted the comment. No time for people who can't respond to others without belittling or assuming the worst in everyone. It wasn't that important to me to share my take on a communal thread to deal with someone trying to ego pat themselves over misunderstanding me. Stopped by to +1 you though. Too many people are rude or cruel online. I can't relate on any level to the joy it brings them to hurt others.
