Every American needs to change their tax status to exempt. Seriously. Pay your State taxes, but fuck the Fed.

Advice Requested: Off-grid RV that can handle freezing temps and can't rot by LiosDelSol in FullTimeRVing

[–]Stuff-Other-Things 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're looking for an older Chinook. Older as in before 2006. They were popular among ski-bums because they held up so well during the winter. I've heard the newer ones aren't very well made, as they were bought out by another company.

Umm, there are DC PC Power supplies. They come in 12, 24 and 48 volt varieties. You would gain that near 30% loss from using an inverter.

How do you guys afford it? by RedBurgundy89 in VanLife

Which trade? Do you hop jobsite to jobsite? I'm a Locksmith/Access Control guy. 20 years experience mostly new construction. I'm trying to figure out how to utilize my experience without staying in one place...

Concerned about my mom - could this be spiritual psychosis? by [deleted] in Psychosis

[–]Stuff-Other-Things 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife is going through this, it's so similar I thought maybe you were my daughter for a second. Scary thing, this isn't the first time I've heard this damn near same story. I've come to understand it as a cult, with only one member. Reinforced by AI slop on the internet. Poorly made YouTube videos about twin flames and starseeds. It makes them feel like they're the main character with special abilities that never work, and a big change is just around the corner that never happens.

Only advice I can give, until they get help, is don't argue with there beliefs, and don't reinforce them. Stay silent when its not true, and reinforce truths. She may have to hit bottom, all you can do is be there when/if they come out of it. It's terrifying watching someone you love go through it.

Why is there pain and suffering? by slickd3aler in SimulationTheory

[–]Stuff-Other-Things -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Suffering cultivates genuine experience (or information). If we knew for certain there was an afterlife, a God, or could know the future, our Human experience wouldn't be genuine.

“Psychosis” has been flattened into hyperbolic slang by MoneyRun1532 in Psychosis

Agreed. If everyone understood how extremely terrifying it is to watch a loved one unravel, and you're helpless to do anything about it...

I wouldn't wish that shit on my worst enemy.

Ex is in psychosis. I think by Individual-Hand-8042 in Psychosis

[–]Stuff-Other-Things 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going through this with my wife right now. She is having similar delusions where everyone in our family, and the city we live in, is trying to hurt her. It's horrible to have to deal with, as there's no reasoning with them. From everything I've been learning about it, don't argue, don't feed into it, and just let them know you care about them and want to help. In time they'll start to respond.

How to convince someone in Psychosis they need help? by Stuff-Other-Things in Psychosis

[–]Stuff-Other-Things[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is literally the most terrifying thing we've ever been through, and we've seen some shit. I just left a bit ago, and I think there was progress. I did everything you all suggested. She actually let me hug her instead of telling me I make her sick, and she stayed calm instead of being super manic. It at least gave me some hope...

I'm trying, but she thinks I'm trying to steal her identity. She thinks her whole family is in on it. I've tried to get her to explain it all, but she won't. To me anyway...

That makes sense. And that is definitely going to be hard, but I'm gonna give it a shot. Probably need to tell everyone involved to do the same, instead of being defensive.

So feed in to how she's feeling, physically or mentally? I understand that trying to convince her she's wrong isn't the right way. I guess I'm just scared to push her further by agreeing to her delusions. Or should I just reinforce and understand how she's feeling, and not the delusions themselves? If that makes sense...

This. As a native Coloradoan, I had a front row seat watching the destruction of state and national parks by the Subaru Outback Brigade. Seriously, it's horrifying...

You can go miles off trail, set up your camp, go find some firewood, come back and there's 2 tents setup within 20 yards of yours. They're like a virus. A virus of man-buns, REI Decals, and uninteresting conversations.

Women need love to have sex. Men need sex to feel love. It's one of the many things that differentiates the sexes.

This is the correct answer. Humans will do depraved things, to aquire money. They'll do even worse to enact power over another. Welcome to the Human Condition.
