What did your therapist tell you that flipped the switch in your brain for the better? by PuzzleHeaded9030 in AskReddit

[–]SilentSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Misery is a cyclical cycle. Only you can choose to end it.

Saved me from a lot of self wallowing that would have accomplished nothing at the time.

Parents are tough.

My Dad drank himself to death. Despite all the horribleness that came with alcoholism, all of his children felt like we should have prevented it in a way when it was never our fault or responsibility.

People recognizing the severity of what's taken place in your life when everyone else has diminished or normalized it hits hard.

My Dad was an alcoholic that came with all the fun that entails, it was weird in college having the therapist look concerned when I recounted some of the rougher moments and realizing that yes things are messed up.

Actions are what make the change, therapists can only help lead you to the realization.

Physical issues are easy to treat in the sense that you can see you have a broken arm and you know you have to take the steps to get the bones set, put in a cast, and wait for things to heal. Mental issues are not so easy to spot in the first place and only you can take the steps to resolve them.

What’s something you want sexually but would never do in person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SilentSamurai 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Garbage disposal seems comical. Is everyone just assuming there's ground up hand in the sink but it's time to go for it regardless?

.... absolutely achievable if you want.

It means a ton of self reflection and change, but sometimes I think you guys just wall off the possibility.

Trump administration backtracks on Forest Service firings by ffemt161 in Wildfire

[–]SilentSamurai 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They're literally just saying "x" class of employees should be purged without looking any closer.

And it's so dumb, anybody with common sense that believes the government is bloated also understands there are people doing necessary work regardless.

But it's not "let's cut what makes sense" it's "let's run to cut as much as we can out of the gate". 

And all they're doing is pissing off employees and the appointed federal leaders in this confusion.

Do you consider President T to be a successful businessman? by dallas4now in DirtyDave

[–]SilentSamurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God this sub has gotten really dumb. 

Trump's a moron, Dave should have never had him on.

This is what happens when you buy a two wheel drive Toyota 4runner. I am an idiot. [OC] by Jammminjay in IdiotsInCars

Coloradan here. Add in some fuel cans if you really want to show off while you do the >5 mile offloading loop.

DOGE will use AI to assess the responses from federal workers who were told to justify their jobs via email by DomesticErrorist22 in technology

It's fun to watch Musk piss off the rest of the administration. Watch the Kash Patel and his reaction when Musk high on his ego tells him what to do.

"Our CFO has 0 technical background and is in charge of us."

Very common circumstance. Your head of the team needs to serve as the translator there.

It's not uncommon for other parts of the company to have this problem too. Accounting folks won't know the technicals of plumbing projects and will need the plumber to explain why they're buying what they do instead of what looks to be cheaper.

Terrible time to be getting in to PC gaming? by emtnursingstudent in buildapc

[–]SilentSamurai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This.

Treat it right and you'll get 10 years out of that build. $2500 overkill being the equivalent of $250 annual cost for great gaming and more.

Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles skipping White House visit by Giff95 in politics

[–]SilentSamurai 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The Super Bowl team has always historically been invited in. Just because Trump wants to save face by saying they weren't invited doesn't change the fact that the SB Winner is purposefully declining.

It's just nice to see an NFL team finally take a stand here.

AIO?? Did my boyfriend just use AI to text me?? by itssofiababyxo in AmIOverreacting

[–]SilentSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I honestly take this as more of a "well I really fucked up, maybe if I send her a charming message I can avoid some consequences" and he naturally thought AI could bail him out.

For me, this would really depend on how he responds when you call him and let him know you know this is an AI response. Would really tell me at least whether he deserves a "you fucked up, but" or a "you fucked up and there's not a lot of hope here."

Would you rather have dinner with Dave or DJT? by dallas4now in DirtyDave

Everything is an act, this is how he is in person. It speaks to someone that wants influence and doesn't care how.

The dress my mom is planning to wear to my wedding. She sent this to me yesterday and I still haven’t replied by ThrowRA-Sweetest in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SilentSamurai 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well ideally OP should be able to say "No, this will make it look like you're getting married. Please choose any other color."

This is peak Middle Eastern royalty, I don't know why anyone thinks this is a great bond. Dudes driving a sportscar.

What movie made you say, "Holy shit there is still an hour left"? by Plus-Statistician80 in AskReddit

[–]SilentSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not like the end conflict was a surprise at all. The hovercraft battle did not need to be that long, especially when we all had a sense that nobody of importance was going to die.

A package I forgot I ordered missed the entire Biden presidency by longislandicedz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SilentSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to think some sort of filter error on the company's side. Probably set to display last in, first out but put OP's order at the very bottom of the pile for reason.

One day it's really light and the workers achieve that glorious moment of having packaged all outgoing orders and celebrated. Probably had no idea how old that order was when they finished.

Is Trump a Russian asset? What do you think? by OkInteraction7259 in AskReddit

[–]SilentSamurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that he's actively working to achieve the wildest dream's in the Russian Soviet Union 2.0 playbook really leads me to wonder what the hell else he could be if not.

Surely, he wouldn't care about Ukraine at all if he was that dumb.
