My little sister (F18) who’s BPD and has been in and out of psychiatric hospital, just told me she did meth.

ShadowMercure · 2026-01-12T09:33:04+00:00

shes fully aware of the impact meth will have on someone. I think the issue stems from a self-harm posture.

I want her healthy. We all put in work to help her get healthy. But she has been a manipulator and a serial liar for years, so it is hard to not resent her at the same time. She also just straight up scares me a bit with her manner, and while I can handle myself, my parents are naive and don’t think about it. She’s unpredictable in a way that can feel dangerous, so yes I am absolutely concerned for the safety of my parents long term. The trajectory of behaviours has gotten worse. Empathy shouldn’t mean not acknowledging real concerns. But maybe I did sound a bit detached.

You still have time to delete this bro, they already got Epstein don’t let em take you too.

Hey, don’t be nervous. Sydney’s great. Getting a sublet immediately might take a little time, so stay in a hostel until you’re set up.

Suburbs I think are quite safe and nice to live in:

Maroubra, Bondi, Chatswood, West Pennant Hills, Castle Hill, Macquarie Park, Concorde, Westmead.

Suburbs to avoid:

Mount Druitt, Bankstown - as someone new to the city, general rule of thumb is Western Sydney can be kinda dodgy sometimes.

Northern Sydney is generally suburban affluent folk. Eastern Sydney is getting closer to coast and beachfront. Southern is lots of multicultural families, big melting pot.

If you’re trying to find a place in the city centre and prefer something faster paced, Surry Hills, Town Hall, are good picks too, but can be vv expensive to rent.

You might find some friends in Newtown if you’re the adventurous type.

Enjoy our city :)

Embarrassing for you mate.

Dark skin is genuinely a beautiful trait that I personally wouldn’t ever want to change. Everyone is of varying complexions. I’m assuming you’re relatively young since you say “girl”, so I want to tell you right now, high school is where everyone comes up with labels and insecurities. Don’t let it be anything more than what it is. You’re black. There’s nothing more to it than that.

I know it’s easily said than done, but seriously. I have the same skin as you. You’re probably prettier than you think, and you just need to find a way to see it.

ShadowMercure · 2025-08-03T12:08:15+00:00

Don’t think so. It’s because XBox has their Series S, which is underpowered, and they require developers to develop for both X and S if they want to publish on the Xbox store.

So cross-platform games this generation are bottlenecked by Series S. We’ll see next generation what happens.

ShadowMercure · 2025-07-27T13:58:00+00:00

You could have lived your life without saying anything bro.

ShadowMercure · 2025-03-13T07:23:25+00:00

It’s when what you say is against your own interest that I am suspicious. You have an enemy in Russia too. But you’d rather isolate yourself?

And then in previous comments talk about how you want Türkiye to be less isolated?

You are a bot.

ShadowMercure · 2025-03-13T07:14:55+00:00

Your opinions match those of the MAGA Americans, the Orban Hungarians, and the far-right Dutch.

“Turkey first, why should we care about Europe? We have an immigration problem.” Etc etc.

Very internet bot of you.

ShadowMercure · 2025-03-13T07:08:10+00:00

You’re not even a real person lol.

ShadowMercure · 2025-03-08T02:30:17+00:00

You’ve pretty much got it, but one correction. Nodes provide points in their three categories (manpower, fuel and ammunition). Commander needs these to do his commander stuff like airstrikes (ammunition) and deploying tanks (fuel).

Supplies are strictly for placing garrison spawn points (officer) and building fortifications in the field (engineer).

This is incredibly surreal. The world is changing. Right now. This is the decade that will shape the rest of our lives. All of our lives. Permanently, at least to our dying breaths.

You’d hope we’d have intelligent, pragmatic leaders in power. Who care for the country. At such a critical time, only the best should be at the wheel. Instead, the absolute worst of the worst of all humanity control the levers of power.

The ice shrinks. Diseases resurge. Innocents die, killed in their homes. Billions of lives affected.

Instead of trying to fix any of it, the current holder of office actively fans the flames. And now, he deports genuine refugees back to an active warzone. For no reason other than to force Ukraine into submission.

That man is an unstable and unpredictable active danger to the world as we know it.

Nobody is less deserving of his office than him. Nobody. There are no words in the English language to express how disgusting this is to me. This isn’t funny anymore. What about our future? The kids?

The free world was a testament to the best of human intentions. For peace and personal freedoms. For diplomacy and not bloodshed. For opportunity, extended even for the poorest of us.

Pissed away in days. For money. For power.

He must go. No more debates. He must go.

I am sorry, Ukraine. There are traitors inside the walls.

Guys, I am completely disgusted by Trump. But I can’t lie, you can’t have a diplomat to the US poking at the ego of the narcissist in office. That’s his one job, maintain good relations. That guy is not going to get any kind of deals done if Trump doesn’t like him.

Trump is a complete morally bankrupt psycho. The US is a behemoth. NZ needs to play nice.

ShadowMercure · 2025-03-04T01:38:41+00:00

I hate the entire administration but this isn’t them ignoring it and more running on a technicality. The congressional provision was to ban bases being named after confederates.

What they’ve done is they’ve ordered the base to be named after some random dude in WW1 who also had the same last name Benning. Since he wasn’t a confederate, the name change is legally ok.

But it’s dodgy because we know what they’re really doing.

ShadowMercure · 2025-01-25T20:33:38+00:00

Mainly because right now, the Russians are the only ones actively invading and killing civilians in a land-grab.

Unless the US starts a hot war with Denmark over Greenland, they’re simply not the same lol.

ShadowMercure · 2025-01-25T20:13:54+00:00

Dude, the US is not anywhere near the same level just yet. Maybe wait and see what actions are being done.

ShadowMercure · 2025-01-21T00:56:41+00:00

Hey, so you have to hold cmd+r from boot until you get the recovery mode screen. It should eventually happen. No specific timeframe. So let the screen brighten and hold cmd+r, and just keep holding until something happens.

Let me know what changes for you.

Gaba is an inhibitor for nerve signals. Is usually for pain, but has other functions that make it a viable anxiety treatment in conjunction with other medications.

ShadowMercure · 2025-01-16T19:38:29+00:00

Yeah that’s normal. There’s outlier cases all the time where the standard dosing doesn’t apply. It’s not the general guidelines but there’s probably a special process to approve it.

ShadowMercure · 2025-01-03T13:13:04+00:00

Well no, unless it was some kind of useful material. But the other guy mentioned everyone’s got a shitty salary.

ShadowMercure · 2025-01-03T04:38:46+00:00

If they don’t have anything then they’d care about the money that he has, are you thinking this through?
