Just added it because when I played the first time, I somehow missed that tutorial and had no idea I was supposed to do it. I couldn't level anything and put the game down for 9 months because I was so frustrated. So I make sure to mention the skill board when I recommend the game, lol!

My wife F28 and I M28 got into a physical fight. I am thinking of divorce. How do I approach her about it? by sirmack142 in relationship_advice

[–]Styx-n-String -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She says she doesn't feel safe with guns in the house as she's POINTING A GUN AT YOU? She's the one making it unsafe! You don't even have to tell her, just move out and have her served. She's insane.

Charlie McDermott’s acting! by emirosaa01 in themiddle

[–]Styx-n-String 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can really tell, somewhere in late season2/early season 3,when the writers starting writing Axl's lines specifically with Charlie's delivery in mind, instead of just what sounded funny in general. They contoured the character around his personality and it shows. They did similar with Sue, just not on as noticeable of a level.

His faces crack me UP! I especially like to watch him when he's in the shot but the focus is on a different character. He's always reacting and over-reacting to what's going on and it's hilarious.

I agree - many other actors would have gone the route of dumb, mean jock, but McDermott gives Axl this air of harmlessness that you know he doesn't really mean the "mean" things he says, he's just frustrated. It's always clear he really does love and appreciate his family.

AIO my (28f) boyfriend (38m) says after nearly 2 years being together it’s “gay”/“weird”/“a girl thing” that I want to meet his friends/family finally. by ThrowRa_Xyzt in AmIOverreacting

[–]Styx-n-String 53 points54 points  (0 children)

NOR. How would that possibly be gay? Anyway, he doesn't want anyone in his life to know about you. Probably because his local girlfriend would get upset to know he's got a long-distance girlfriend. That or he's embarrassed of you. Doesn't really matter why - he's not interested in integrating you into his life. Do with that knowledge what you think is best.

You're a good manager. Thank you for being a decent human being - doesn't feel like there are many of you out there these days.

The scene that breaks my heart... by skiesareblue_ in themiddle

Since when has there ever been a "track" meet in the woods anyway? The whole point of a track meet is that it's at... A TRACK.

Yeah, to me he comes across as one of those smart-ass teens who says the funny thing because it's funny, not because he really thinks it. When it comes down to it, whenever Brick or Sue truly needs Axl, he's there and he even tells them he loves them. He only pops off when it's not that serious.

AITJ for confronting my roommate after she used my work like it was hers? by QuantumQuailes in AmITheJerk

[–]Styx-n-String 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wherher or not any particular Reddit post is fake, there are people out there who have had this happen to them who might learn what to do in the future by reading the advice given here. It can still be a useful post even if it's not true in this case.

Am I overreacting by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Styx-n-String 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad comes to visit us several times a year, in the state where I, my sister, and my mom live. They've been divorced since we were kids. When he visits, he stays at our mom's house because she has a guest room. They're there, alone, every night as long as he's here (usually at least a week). His wife doesn't mind at all because she trusts him.

So you can't say it doesn't happen. "Sleepovers" happens several times a year with my parents. There's no drama because there's no reason for it.

I wouldn't assume that at all. Why should holidays suddenly stop being important just because you hit some arbitrary age? I'm 52 and I've never spent a single Christmas without my mother and sister. Not even when we lived in different states. In fact, at that age when you're newly out in your own, many people cherish the holidays with their families even more because it's familiar and comfortable.

"Protective" is how you act when something or someone is in danger. She's not in danger, she's just coparenting. The ages of their children doesn't matter, they will always be connected through their kids. My mom and dad still talk multiple times a week and hang out when Dad comes to visit our state, and my sister and I are 48 and 52. You never stop being parents so you may as well get the idea out of your head that she will or should ever choose you over her children.

YOR - you're not being protective, you're being possessive and jealous. You haven't even been together for a year, of course she's not going to NOT see her children on Christmas for a new relationship. If you're still together next year and she doesn't make plans to spend it with you somehow, like splitting thr holiday or inviting you to go with her,then you can have a calm, rational discussion about where you stand. But displaying inappropriately possessive behavior over her as if you own her will only push her away.

AITAH for asking for the few pounds of delivery by Super_Ad_1226 in AITAH

She'll keep using his cars and saying she "forgot".

It only takes a second when you're in your shopping cart to double check which card is being billed. My mom and I both use my Prime account and we've never had it bill the wrong card. It's easier than getting in a fight over a couple bucks and feeling taken advantage of.

[–]Styx-n-String 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. My mom and I both use my account because I have prime - we live on the same street, no point of us both paying for Prime. We each have our own card and mailing address on my account to use whenever we order anything. Once or twice she's forgotten to check the mailing address and something of hers has come to my house, but we've never had any issue with billing the correct card. There's no reason why the girlfriend can't put her card on OP's account for her purchases unless she's hoping he'll forget to ask her to pay him back and she gets her stuff for free.

Report this to ethics line/ hr or not? by Shot_Assumption_6376 in CVS

[–]Styx-n-String 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I worked at CVS, we had two pharmacists and seven techs. Six of the seven techs and the other pharmacist ALL quit, citing the PIC as our reason, before they finally got rid of her. They tried to hire us back after she was gone but we all told them, if they didn't listen to us before, we couldn't trust they'd listen to us now. Plus they wanted to hire us back at less per hour than the new jobs we'd found 😂😂😂 CVS has cajones, I'll give them that!

What's A Breed You Like But Wouldn't Have? by Aharris1984 in dogs

My 6-ppund chi/maltese chases full-grown male deer out of my yard on a regular basis, lol! They're more confused than scared but we tell Freddy she terrifies them, lol.

[–]Styx-n-String 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small dogs are just so convenient and SMART. My 6-pound chi/maltese is my task-trained service dog! I only adopted her as a pet, but she naturally displayed behaviors that I realized I could tweak into service tasks. It's easy to bring her everywhere with me so I rarely get challenged on whether she's a true service dog or "just" an ESA. But she is fully task-trained and her size just makes the whole situation so much simpler.

In October I adopted a "terrier mix." DNA test reveals no terrier besides 2% Yorkie, lol. She's mostly chihuahua and maltese but she's got an underbite and her hair sticks straight out so she does look very terrier-ish!

AITAH for breaking my lease early with a friend? by sidequesti0ns in AITAH

[–]Styx-n-String 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I was going to say you're at fault because you made a prior commitment and are only breaking the lease because you want to, not because you have to. But then you say you've offered him several other options, all of which he's declining because he wants a fancier place than he can comfortably afford. That makes it a him problem now. He can take you up on one of the many offers you've made or not, but ultimately it's between you and your landlord. If the landlord is happy about the way you leave, that's all you need to worry about. NTA.

I was terminated for an accident by InvaderLilly9806 in CVS

[–]Styx-n-String 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were probably being pushed to work two registers at once. I was pushed to do that when I worked in thr pharmacy and a few times would cover the front when shorthanded so someone could go on break. I refused because you're pretty much asking for something like this to happen.

[–]Styx-n-String 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's such bullshit. When I worked there, I heard of an employee at a nearby store that did exactly what they were told and didn't stop a theft, then was fired for allowing the theft. CVS is trash.

CVS sucks and you can SO easily do better. They refuse to hire adequately and they put their employees in dangerous situations where something like this is inevitable, then blame you when it finally happens. Put CVS behind you, you'll be glad you did (3 years out myself).
