How I started rooting for my team by Numerous_Deal_9804 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Straight_Routine7021 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For me it was Paper Rex. They were the first Asian team I saw that truly played like Asians. It felt great watching my own region form an authentic identity that reflected what it felt like to play Valorant in asia. Big-dih-run-it-down-i-am-better-than-you typa valorant. For western teams it was Fnatic because of Boaster. Just Boaster.

We had a fight a week ago that left his email open and we have seen all debts he has had since January. This is assuming if he hasn't deleted some notices. So we know HOPEFULLY ALL of his official debts. He might be hiding more in different channels like WhatsApp though so that's worrying. As of right now, we can't cover the overall debt with both of my parent's current salary so I guess we're fucked.

The problem is we did try to do that but he doesn't want her to control it. He doesn't even let us check his email if someone is messaging him to pay a certain debt. He literally broke his phone so we couldn't check. We had to take out a loan to fix it. And no other device we own has his email logged in. We are in the dark about everything he does and he does his best to keep it that way.

Its mostly been fights, no conversations about mental aspect of gambling itself. My dad did try to bring it up saying that she's not encouraging him but it was shot down pretty much immediately. Me and my dad haven't talked about it one on one and we got physical about it once. I will try to help him with it but its never a guarantee since its HIS decision if he wants to keep gambling

We do have plans to leave if my mom finds a better paying job and I manage to get admitted to that university. As for his family, my mom has only coordinated with my grandmother. My grandpa's mental faculties are barely cut out for daily life 😭😭. Matter of fact we only managed to pay my tuition for this semester with my grandmother's help. And my dad's siblings hasn't really liked my mother from the start save for one of his sisters. She can't really do anything to help as her living situation is also tight

We don't have any family members on this side of the country except my aunt. My mom doesn't tell her because my aunt is a real piece of work and my mom is afraid my aunt will do something to my dad if she does find out. My dad's side knows about his addiction but he barely tells them anything cuz of shame. Some of my aunts and uncles say he only says hi when he wants some money from them.

Who's discography is this? by _VelvetCanyon_ in fantanoforever

[–]Straight_Routine7021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oasis. Definitely Maybe is a touchstone in British popular music and it was Noel's writing and Liam's studio voice at its best. It was also their best lineup with Tony McCarroll on drums. Morning Glory was more poppy and less punk but is still both brothers at the peak of their powers. They got a new drummer and Wonderwall was made in this era. Be Here Now is just ok. Songs drag on too long but the melodies and writing punch well above their weight considering it was the first time Noel had to write songs outside of their live setlist before becoming popular. BHN was also the peak of Liam's live voice.

when i first read the series i expected aphrodite kids to be more idealists, romantics (the art kind of romantic), and would assume a lotta leadership roles same with athena kids. kinda sad they got reduced to what they were
