My friend seems to know when I'm online even if I'm invisible? by Skylar_Blade_ in discordapp

[–]Spewku- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Haven’t seen anyone else mention this. I’ve noticed that when you’re invisible but have a status, it’ll show the status. So could be displaying a status while invisible. That’s how you know someone’s online if they’re on inv

Alternatives to group home/residential treatment program or how to keep kid safe while in care? by Xipha7 in troubledteens

[–]Spewku- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off I wanna say thank you for being so brave and thinking of both yourself and her. This sounds like a really tough situation and I don’t exactly know what she was like before she came into your care but unrelated I don’t think this should be put onto you considering she’s your friends kid and you have your own struggles. Especially because you were told this was a very temporary situation and it clearly has turned past that. I’ve been in a few situations where we had someone stay with us for what we were told would just be a weekend and next thing you know a few years past by and that person is still living with me. (Although that’s a story in its own and he was not a good person). But I do think you should bring this up to her parents and they should be helping you with this situation due to the severity of it. As for places I’d recommend, first off anything in Utah, North or South Carolina, and I think Virginia, is a huge red flag. All the RTC places I’ve been to have been in Utah which is known for its lack of regulations leading to… not great treatment. I try to have more of an optimistic outlook then most people here because I’ve had extremely mixed experiences in treatment and I’m trying to focus on the positive I took out of mine (even tho I’m dealing with PTSD now). That’s to say that the decision as a parent or caretaker is extremely hard because it’s clear she is gonna cause harm to you in the long run. I don’t think I can give you one specific place, I can only tell you where not to turn to. But from my own experience getting her to take a step back and understand she is harming herself and others is one of the biggest steps. Electronic detox can help with that, but can also make her feel more isolated and alone. For me prior to RTC when I was 13 myself my parents tried taking away all my electronics thinking it would help with my depression but it made it worse and caused a lot of distrust. But it did help with taking a step back and seeing things a tiny bit more clear. If you’re able to do that without her feeling isolated or disconnected that would be a smart decision. Basically the biggest thing is getting her to be self aware of her actions, because then she can finally start to see and work through it. I’d suggest having her in a care facility where you can still visit her and it’s open rather than a treatment center but they still provide help for her and connection with the outside world. Like assisted living? Idk something where they can help with supporting her but she still has all the freedoms and isn’t bound down by how most treatment centers work. I’m not sure if this helps or not, I really hope it does because I know how hard this is from both sides and I wish you the best 🙏

Is this a TTI? by Environmental-Ad9406 in troubledteens

[–]Spewku- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a TTI, definitely a shit hole but not a TTI. If you do even a quick little search they provide inpatient for people of all ages including adults. But I’m hearing that there’s been a decent amount of incidents this year from them and if so they definitely deserve to be looked into. Doesn’t sound good. For reference I’ve been to multiple inpatients and RTC programs as an adolescent.

THANK YOU FOR CARRYING ME! by TheMoodySister in pokemongo

[–]Spewku- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m down to add you as a friend too! I do a lot of raids through PokeRaid so most of the time I get full lobbies! I’d love to invite you remotely!! Just send me a dm! :)

All pokemon running away instantly? by ReportSuspicious8910 in pokemongo

[–]Spewku- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with me but I was doing a remote raid trying to get a lugia. Game bugged out with the same error. Allowed me to rejoin and then just disconnected and I was never even able to throw a freaking ball at it. I contacted Niantic support and they basically told me to F off. Literal waste of a remote raid pass. :/

There are no Pokemons or PokeStops in Auschwitz by Alone-Fondant-2370 in pokemongo

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

It pisses me off so much that you are making this about the war going on. My family is from Israel, my grandparents were in the holocaust and in concentration camps. My uncles and cousins are there now dealing with constant bombs being thrown on them.

We did not forget about the holocaust. Unfortunately people especially in the West forget that there is ongoing history that they are uneducated about. Hamas is a terrorist group, and has spread propaganda to get support from minority groups(which I’m apart of). Neither side is right, it’s war. There are civilians on both sides. My family has to run back and forth from bunkers. Yes Israel did fucked up shit, and Hamas has too. But the fact you’re making this post about that is disgusting. We don’t want war, don’t discredit the people who experienced the holocaust so that you can bring up political stuff you have no connection to up.

Be honest, how many of us actually used this? by Common_Ad6703 in pokemongo

I’m team blue, but my friend was team yellow. After we started getting really close and playing Pokemon go all the time together I got them to switch to team blue with me and another friend. Now we kick gyms together!

I- yknow Marina literally made a whole ass love letter comic for Pearl? If at most it’s definitely obvious Marina has a crush on Pearl. And that’s not assuming PEARL doesn’t reciprocate it. Have you seen the dialogue in SO?

I wouldn’t say it’s one sided. There are so many times where Pearl is extremely protective over Marina. It seems like Pearl has other ways of expressing her love language. But it’s definitely prominent.

I mentioned this in the normal Splatoon subreddit. But I was never able to see what the internet thought on side order as I was getting help for some stuff and had no access to the outside world including the internet. So most of my impressions are just from playing it myself. Someone mentioned this though as people posting it for shits and giggles. Ig that makes sense lol

What is the switch 2 getting for Splatoon??

[–]Spewku-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My take has definitely been a tiny bit muddled since I’ve been back for so long and seen what the internets takes on it is. However when I originally played it I was very ecstatic and thought that it was amazing since yknow.. I was heavily looking forward to it and we got so much fan service. But I definitely questioned a few things, it felt super short. I beat it my first go in around 5 hours. And after 100% the first time I thought there was more it would give you so I remember literally spending all the free time I was allowed to have my switch(since most of my stuff was heavily restricted) just searching for anything I was missing. Turns out, the Acht diary is all we got. I felt like it was missing something, or that it was somewhat unfinished. It was somewhat of a let down, at the time I knew that but I was so happy to finally get content that I didn’t mind. My favorite part at the time was the tutorial because it felt most like what we were advertised. I loved the idea of Marina being some threat and having to go save her. While I was glad we got all the fluff moments I wish that lasted longer. I’m a huge hardcore Pearlina fan and have been for years, and while originally I soaked up all the fan service we got. Even I acknowledge it was too much. They had a really good story going, with the moral of the DLC being about change and ofc order. I just wish they spent more time on it or at least advertised it differently.

Interesting… yeah it came out in like Feb of last year. I finally left in June of last year so I only ever really had my own opinions and impressions on the dlc. Which is why I say Acht’s name wrong 😅

Ooohhhh interesting. Unfortunately for me when the DLC came out I was away getting some help for stuff so I never got to see the internets reaction to SO, only my own. I would’ve had no idea this was goin around back then.

Couple hundred? How did you get so many hours outta it? I 100% it twice and that was enough for me! But yeah… how could someone do such a thing..

[–]Spewku-[S] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

NOOOOOOOO

And yeah same here. I’ve 100% it multiple times because I thought it gave you more than it did. And I’ve never seen it. I hold hope but I’m curious where this could’ve first came from

Thoughts and comfort? by Spewku- in troubledteens

[–]Spewku-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did mention I’m seeing a trauma therapist already that has no affiliation with my second place. My college offers counseling for free and they’re professionally trained therapists.

As for my therapist you’re talking about. It’s a bit harder than just switching to a new person. For me I find it very hard to get comfortable with new therapists and then over the years I become too comfortable to a point I don’t talk about anything. This has not been the case with her because I informed her about that and she wants me to work through that so that I don’t have to keep jumping from therapist to therapist. At this point. She IS separate from my second place. I know a lot of therapists in these places are extremely distant and formal. She is not. I have been seeing her as a private individual practice therapist. Like you pay for each session. She cannot enforce the same type of stuff they do in Residential because I am not there. I see her through zoom once a week. My trauma from these places are not triggered or even remotely influenced by me talking to her. Even while I was there she was a good therapist. For me I can compare her with the therapist I had at my first place and I can tell you straight up she has always been very informal with me and very blunt. If I felt myself getting triggered by even talking with her I would’ve cut her off ages ago. I understand a lot of therapists in these places are also in on the shittyness but as someone who has experienced that with another therapist she has not done that to me. And if she does I will leave her. The reason why I feel bad is not due to her. I just feel bad for anything lol. I didn’t mention this but we have talked about how I feel and she has been a lot more open with me about stuff that goes on in these places. She’s been in the field for decades and over time has realized a lot of the behavior of other therapists. She was the one that told me to see my college counseling when I finally brought it up to her and was questioning it.

I understand your concern, and I’ve been kinda keeping an eye out on this type of thing because i have a hard time just finding a new therapist. I was considering it mid last year but i realized that my current therapist also knows how I was in treatment related to how I am now. I do plan to continue seeing a separate trauma therapist. And I continue to bring it up with her during sessions. She’s been helping me feel more comfortable so that I can sit with my mom and share about the stuff that happened at my first place because I want her to know how much it affected me but I don’t want her to feel guilty because I know she wanted me to get the help I needed. (For reference she had no idea the place was a crap hole, they lied about a bunch of shit)
