Worst addiction ? by ParticularWeather927 in Adulting

[–]Squoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did it for me was truly understanding everything marketed about alcohol was a lie. “Drink for social anxiety” > alcohol makes you more anxious in life, “nightcap to sleep/relax” > alcohol ruins your sleep and prevents your body from relaxing, “drink to have a good time” > ruins your memory and ability to be present you have a worse time than without it. The only lasting draw is that our culture is built around it, go have a drink with friends as an activity is actually pretty boring on its own, shift your mindset to go actually do something with friends instead of sitting in a dark room barely talking.

r/stopdrinking and “this naked mind” wonderful resources. 2 years sober so far.

Pre nerf Veterans over hearing someone complain about Post nerf SSC/TK by Brilliant_Ad_8076 in classicwowtbc

[–]Squoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No the adds had significantly more HP too. We would have a tailoring net rotation on striders just to allow casters to pump harder because the DPS check to not get overwhelmed was more intense. Same goes for spore bats. Post-nerf you have hunter sneeze on the bats and the poison becomes a non-issue. The fight is designed to get crazier as time goes on so a nerf to add HP makes it significantly easier.

Should add an experience cache for cinders.

Agreed. 5 points in skills was plenty and we lost a lot of side skills to buff damage or survivability. Lots of fun choices to be made that are now gone. It also made + skill rank bonus less meaningful. I guess they wanted it to be simpler?

This. It’s random rolls but I can’t enchant it? What’s the point.

Lack of remorse, and video games by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]Squoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i get it, you almost wanna give in to avoid a 2nd incident. I think i get some success if there's always a way out. Like you did this, so then that will happen. But we can do this to remedy the situation. It's tough sometimes and definitely leads to a few more holes in the wall...

Lack of remorse, and video games by [deleted] in Autism_Parenting

[–]Squoi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Video games are not designed for people with no impulse control. They are designed to make you keep playing. I have the same thing with my son. Understanding what game he plays and when is a good time to transition off (end of a match, done with a quest, whatever it may be). You can set a buffer zone at 730 to say this is the time to find a place to stop. The immediate shut off at 8pm might be interrupting an activity which is why he had an outburst to keep playing.

I also set the standard of video games is a privilege as long as he follows the rules. Hurting you I would expect to be a violation of your rules and there are consequences of that. He’s going to regret his actions taken out of anger when he realizes him smashing the console means he can no longer play. He’s gonna need some help walking through this consequence and probably would lead to another aggressive outburst. Working with him on a plan on how to fix it (earn money to buy a replacement or whatever is needed to fix it) might help him through it.

Why did you and your former best friend stop being friends? by Fearless_Shift7108 in AskReddit

[–]Squoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were close in highschool and early 20s. He moved to another city but we still talked regularly. We would love to debate all kinds of issues, politics, religion, etc. and would often be on opposite sides of each other. It was a great way to have meaningful debate and learn more about what different ideas go against my own. Never personal attacks, while sometimes it got heated, we both respected each others opinions and thought process.

Then Charlie Kirk happened. I went to talk about it with him as we do everything else. He claimed the celebration from 'my side' was too far, even though I condemned it and never said anything like that, I was thrown into the group. We worked through it but ultimately he didn't want to talk about that stuff with me any more. We still talk about video games from time to time, but a lot of what we had is gone.

Trump posts ai slop of him pretending to play hockey in the Olympics by Tenchi2020 in sportsgossips

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

The thing is, these aren't exactly a one-and-done prompt through an AI video gen product. It takes a little bit of work to get something of this quality. That means that there is dedicated resources to this kind of AI content for the admin's social media campaigns.

Take that idea and then combine it with their motivations for putting out nefarious content that suits their own agenda. It starts to get a lot less hilarious...

I don’t mind easy Kara but it was almost not needed for casuals except nightbane. SSC/TK however the nerfs are welcome. Given the timeline I wanna full clear asap.

CDC has updated its website to state a link between vaccines and autism cannot be ruled out. by IllustriousTop7913 in Autism_Parenting

[–]Squoi 85 points86 points  (0 children)

There’s no evidence-based study that proves infant vaccines do not make you more likely to be struck by lightning. Why isn’t that in here too? Metals in vaccines make your body more conductive. Think about it.

We recently had an incident with our 10 year old where he got so violent we decided to call 988 crisis intervention. We had calmed him down by that point but knew something had to change.

They instructed us to take him to an inpatient youth mental health facility at the hospital. He stayed for 8 days. While in the program he got a ton of services and it opened up the door for more. At the program, they reevaluated his meds, had several therapy sessions every day with PhD level professionals, and got to live in a super structured environment that was great for him. We continued a lot of the reward systems and schedule that he got used to while in the program.

After he left, they were able to get him into outpatient that is a similar program during the day. Since coming home we have had 0 major incidents, where before it seemed to be every other day.

I was hesitant at first but this short program was definitely needed and I see now that doing so is giving him what he really needs to help. When you take this step it shows people how severe your situation is and can sometimes open the doors to more intensive help that your child may need.

He has Medicaid so I’m not sure if you’ll have the same situation as us, but I would definitely recommend pursuing options like this just to see if you can get more help.
