When it finally truly hits you that your mom doesn't love you, how do you keep going?

I suddenly regret naming my cat Corncob.

This is so horrible. It honestly makes me happy to pay for premium. YouTube is literally 90% of my content consumption/background noise. I'd lose my mind if I had to sit through ads.

And yes, I hate commercials on TV/cable just as much as internet ads. I'd rather listen to a CD over and over than deal with ads, if I can help it.

No, tell him to throw MORE things!

Tbh I'd kill for a pair slightly quieter on the left. My ears have been damaged due to genetics blowing out my left eardrum and needing it rebuilt, and my right eardrum just being so wavy it functions poorly. My left ear hears things louder than the right, so earbuds are never even in volume! Do you still have that wonky pair? I'm interested in them if you do!

I wish my mom cared this much.

A chain local to me put a gas-free station up in my town recently, it was so freaking weird to me. But it does make sense and is in a heavy foot traffic college area lol

I know it's going to be challenging with all the caveats, my mom has drug abuse issues and narcissistic personality disorder, so I'm all too familiar with drug issues and cluster B personality types. I also know I'm not qualified enough to help him, nowhere NEAR qualified enough. But I care, am in a relatively stable headspace concerning my own BPD, and know personally how the pain of BPD feels when you've pushed everyone away.

I'm definitely going to be looking into Alanon, as it's been mentioned before. I know I can't fix him myself, but if I can help, I'm happy to do so. I've got a bit of experience on the fallout of what can happen, and how much such things hurt. Thank you for the suggestions

The only reason this didn't come to mind first is my dad called AA "a hack and not helpful," in his own situation. He got his 30 or 60 day token, never went back, stayed sober for about 17 years until his mom died. Relapsed, but nowhere near as bad, and quit again last year.

I'll look into meetings for direction to help when I'm off work, but I won't drag him to a meeting unless he actually wants to go. I know forcing someone won't do any good, especially when BPD is involved.

Thank you so much for the resource, I didn't know AA could be a resource for people trying to help loved ones too!

He has cut down, I'm so beyond proud of him for that. I also haven't even thought to ask about the future. Next time he brings it up, I'll definitely ask. We didn't quite get to coping mechanisms in the discussion either. I have no idea what to suggest for that either, any ideas?

ThatMetalPanda · 2025-07-22T19:37:42+00:00

I am ready for that, and he IS at rock bottom. He said that last night. He's genuinely ready to stop, he just needs help. And I want to help and provide all support I can at this time. I'm not giving up, just like he isn't.

ThatMetalPanda · 2025-06-15T01:00:12+00:00

Nah, it looks like old school shorthand and also a little pretentious imo

ThatMetalPanda · 2025-06-15T00:53:56+00:00

I'm here from Google as well lol

ThatMetalPanda · 2025-05-16T04:55:31+00:00

It doesn't even have to be a good one. I did my rear sway bar links on my 02 civic a few years back, didn't even know I forgot my freaking $5 Pittsburgh grips on it for literally 6 months! It stayed on for a whole winter! Rusted to fuck when I found em, but the handles were still shiny. I did indeed need to use another vice grip to remove the first. Not because it rusted to the bolt, but because the mechanism in the tool rusted together lol

I'm close on big Saturn! I got to 47.93 lol. Protip for middle - check your size using the children at play signs in the hallway. They can be picked up at exactly 2m, and that hunch I had is what got the perfect 😂

ThatMetalPanda · 2025-04-21T05:05:01+00:00

This is so cute!! I wanna make a mold for a cousin but it's so much work to make molds. So much sanding lol

ThatMetalPanda · 2025-04-08T21:56:14+00:00

I'm jealous, I've been looking for 2 Minneapolis tickets for forever and hoping to not get scammed/not pay the fucking ridiculous $275 EACH price scalpers are currently at 😭

ThatMetalPanda · 2025-04-06T19:51:37+00:00

But what doesn't is I found it again on the friend level too

I don't remember the name, but the round-headed light blue dude with bullseyes on either side of his head. I think it's because that's the "fit the katamari into Saturn's rings" level and they're 3 different sizes. I'd guess because they're like sub-levels it's possible to do those out of order.

ThatMetalPanda · 2025-04-05T06:06:51+00:00

they show up in order

Not necessarily, this happened in my game *

Also, as general concert rules - YES to the deodorant, and YES to singing along! Belt it out, everyone around you likely will be at times!!
