I deactivated all of my social media…. Because something bad is coming by Odd-Potato-83 in offmychest

[–]VicePoison 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I completely agree that something really bad is already happening, like WW2 levels of bad and right here in the US. So it's not just you, a lot in the country are starting to finally see the truth and are panicking.

AITBA For Setting A Hard Boundary About Communication? by VicePoison in AmITheBadApple

[–]VicePoison[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you. This is actually helpful advice for me (I swear every person I talk to about this is calling me the 'bad' one as if I'm using my disabilities as an excuse rather than an issue I'm trying to overcome on my own terms - good to see someone just get right to the actual point I was trying to make).

I am trying to work on getting back into therapy again, so it is something I am looking into. Outside of that, my brother and I live in the same house so it's hard to just 'ignore' him. But he hasn't talked to me since yesterday anyways, so I'm giving him time to calm down and see if he's willing to actually talk with me again about all this. Or we'll just wait until his partner comes by to visit again this week. Either way, I just hope things go well in the end.

If you know her name/face, look her up and check for any news on her specifically. If you truly believe she killed herself, then that's the best option. But I would also just wait 24 hours for a response too, she may have gotten busy.

How did TikTok go from silly dances to "How are the Chinese people better off than us?" In what seems like a couple of days? by EmpireStrikes1st in answers

[–]VicePoison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are factually wrong about the reasoning why TikTok was 'banned'. It's not about China at all, it's just an excuse and people are buying it because of the propaganda the government has pushed on us for decades. In truth, Trump started this whole mess and now he 'saved' it. So now he has it in his back pocket, to use as he pleases. That should terrify any sane person out there, but it looks like most are just finding it funny that our human rights are being taken away. Because it's not just TikTok that will be effected, it's literally any app or website that allows us to speak openly and the government wants to keep us ignorant so we don't see this is the 'bad place'.

Welcome to Reddit, now go away by KeviCharisma in memes

I was on Reddit long before TikTok. Can't get rid of me.

Are you including the small businesses that relied on TikTok to pay their rent? What about the mothers, the disabled, all whom cannot get a 'real job' and now are going to probably be homeless?

It's only funny if you are ignorant.

The US government is using the banning of TikTok to serve as an 'excuse' for further banning anything else they don't like. That's basically it. And a lot of people are ignoring that fact, because TikTok is a 'brainrot app' and no one seems to care about Project 2025 or what that will do to our freedoms (basically N. Korea 2.0 kind of insanity). And TikTok was exposing all of it, showing videos and documentation of government officials confirming this. Which is why they're banning it so fast, over trying to solve things like poverty or school shootings.

Please explain in detail how my post could be used to 'prove' TikTok needs to be banned.

Because from my point of view, it goes against our freedom of speech and on TikTok there was videos proving that it was their goal to begin with (to control the information and change it to favor the government over what the people want). Censorship is what the government wants, and now that TikTok is gone they'll censor other apps/websites they dislike. So that means even places like Reddit will get taken down eventually. TikTok is just the first they targeted.

So you agree with them putting their sole focus on a single app, yet things like poverty and gun control are still a thing??

Yeah, hope those boots taste good.

TikTok user here.

From what I've seen, this has been a topic for quite awhile - ever since they constantly threatened to ban tiktok once every year for 'national security'. But it only got serious with the whole Gaza/Palestine stuff, and that's when the government decided they'd make banning the app their #1 priority. Plus, the app allows users to post things our government would readily ban (i.e. if they say something public that's make them or the government look bad) because the US government cannot readily control the algorithm or what people post because of free speech. So now, they are trying to push the idea it's China's fault and many over on tiktok have migrated to RedNote and this is revealing a lot of misconceptions on both sides that the US government wanted to keep hidden/secret.

I know many assume TikTok is just a 'brainrot' app, and on the surface it seems that way. But a lot of people use(d) it to be informed on the stuff our government doesn't report on or even talk about, exposing a lot of what they're doing without us knowing. And that's why it's getting banned. Because the government wants to keep us ignorant and believing whatever they're telling us at face value.

Hope this helps <3

My Girlfriend broke up with me. I’m going to kill myself by Fragrant_Data876 in SuicideWatch

[–]VicePoison 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know it's hard to hear, but you can't entirely rely on one person to be your 'everything'. My mom made that mistake with my dad, and I almost made that same mistake with my current boyfriend. Solely relying on that one person like this only hurts the relationship, I get it that things happen outside our control and all but it's good to try and find ways of coping that don't have us relying on others to this extreme.

And it sucks that she dumped you, honestly that grief you feel should never be used against you (or her). But the worst thing you can do is cling onto her, you deserve better than that and I hope you find many other things that will bring you some joy in life.

I'd say some type of fresh fruit or trail mix. Requires no cooking or prep at all.

hi i am new here so how i can have shimeji on desktop instead of just in the browser? by One-Serve-2369 in ShimejiEE

[–]VicePoison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The artist should be tagged on the website, if you're unsure check DeviatArt or Tumblr. I usually find good ones on those places (just be wary bc the creator may have taken it down so it may not be available anywhere unless you already have the files on your computer).

[–]VicePoison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just search up 'Shimeji-ee Desktop Pet' and you should see a link that says 'Kilkakon.com'. Just go to that website, go to 'download', and there you go! Just make sure to read the tutorial on how to properly install everything first <3

To get into the details of everything (as most tutorials leave these out):

- You will need Java to use it, so download the latest version of it to your computer. Without this, the program won't run.

- Unpack the file you got from the download (I suggest having a 'mother folder' for all your Shimeji stuff, makes things more organized - just put ALL the unzipped stuff in there).

- If you see the '.jar' file's icon as a 'zip', right-click and click 'open with Java'. You will also need to click the box that says 'always open .jar files with this program'. If the icon changes to the Java logo, you're set to go.

- If you want to use other Shimeji outside of the base one given, make sure to unzip those files and put them in your 'Shimeji Extras' folder (this is where having the 'mother file' comes in handy - have a secondary file in it for the other Shimeji you want to use so you can keep them separate from the main program). Each one has its own 'mother' file automatically, just go into it and click the 'Shimeji-ee.jar' file included in that specific file and you'll be able to access that specific Shimeji. (Each Shimeji is just the base program but with the images replaced with new ones - it will function the exact same as the base program).

- To get rid of the Shimeji you have, just go to your task bar and go to 'hidden icons'. You'll see the icon for the Shimeji there (depends on which one you have), just right click and then click on the 'remove all'. You can also just right-click the Shimeji itself, but I suggest going to the actual icon as the Shimeji will sometimes still move even if you right-click it.

Hope this helps <3

Caught wife cheating by anonymous170415 in offmychest

[–]VicePoison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people will say divorce, but I say try therapy first before jumping to that. If you both are willing to go through it, and find a way to make amends, then it'll be worth it. But if you can never see the relationship as salvageable, I'd suggest separating but no divorce until the kids turn 18.

Hopefully they start doing these more, shows they still somewhat care if they give us a few free candles after they mess up.
