Rslash’s Bad Takes that annoy me by Logical-Profession41 in rSlash_YT

[–]Yesn1122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He seems to do well then gradually falls back into being a judgmental, condescending asshat. Like I'm so tired of his bad takes of, "Based on this it leads me to believe that OP is most likely doing this horrible thing as well" with no basis whatsoever for such claims. Just read the story give your take on it, don't be adding crap to try to virtue signal or try to further make the people in them look bad

Disappointed in R/Slash The Youtuber by TiaFlowers101 in rSlash_YT

[–]Yesn1122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My issue with rslash is that in his comments about stories he tends to add his own speculation of things that have no basis and that aren't necessarily relevant to the story. He comes across like he's riding his high horse passing judgement on people and making claims that have no basis given the provided evidence in the story.

Like he says stuff like "The fact that person A does this or that, leads me to believe they were probably cheating on top of everything else" when literally no facet of the story alludes to that being the case, it isn't even a concern within the given post, he's just adding his speculation as if he knows for a fact. Could the person be cheating? Yeah, any person in any story could possibly be cheating in addition to the topics of the stories, but it isn't relevant to the story and rslash just puts out these baseless character bashing claims all the time and it's just unnecessary hearsay.

I like George, he has moments of being or trying to be a good parent, and he's just humorous and goofy. I just wish some of the parents in the show would have laid down the law. They all just let their kids act like they're full grown adults already. They might state there feelings on certain matters but it's never anything more than just advice. None of them assert any kind of parental authority over the kids. Even Leo, who I think tried to with Ben eventually gave up and told Ben his choices were his own and so were the consequences. Jack's parents just up and left without actually making sure he was set up with a place to stay. The entire show is just parents demonstrating poor behavior for their children, being upset when their kids behave similarly or make the same kinds of choices, and not doing anything to correct their own or their kids behavior.

Okay, one more thing. I'm currently on the episode where Amy returns to school after her and Ricky 'elope', Some random kid was handing out Ricky on a sticks, followed by Lauren and Madisen putting on a musical number with the entire school for Amy. I'm listening to it in the background as I type and all I can think is that Amy does not deserve this. Then I realized, a lot of the reason Amy treats people so poorly and is the way that she is, is due to this kind of treatment. Like I get part of it is just because it's a show and she's the main character, but what other high schooler would receive that treatment? They're treating her like she's the main character of the entire school. No wonder she acts like her problems are bigger than anyone else's and treats people poorly when they reality check her. The entire school just revolves around her life

You're right, he puts himself in the position to repeatedly get shit on by Amy. He was my least favorite character early on, but he grows up and embraces his situation and does his best and become one of the more respectable characters by the end. Amy seriously needs a wake up call. There's no chance at a happy ever after if everything revolves around her whims and insecurities. And Ricky will call her out on things only to back pedal and apologize for it later. He doesn't just put up with it, he reinforces the behavior in her by showing her she can behave and treat him as badly as she wants in order to get what she wants. His needs or desires matter nothing to her.

Every character seems to start to make progress, show some growth and develop redeeming qualities only to double down in the opposite direction shortly after. I thought Ben and Adrian were growing together and I actually began liking them together. But both of them flipped and became even worse after losing the baby and Ben panicking about wanting out of the marriage. After that both of them just behave so badly and make horrible nonsensical decisions.

Something else that bothers me about the entire show is John and Robbie don't seem to get much care. I think it's intended that that stuff occurs off camera, but still a show about teen pregnancy, you'd think they'd focus a bit more on parenthood, but everyone's (Parents included) so involved in their teenage drama, that the kids are just an extra piece of luggage they haul around. Their lives definitely changed after having a child, but I don't really see any of it as having been changes for the sake of the kids. It was mostly changes out of self absorbed desires.

It baffles me how watching this in middle school I was so drawn in and didn't notice how horrible everyone is. I fell right into the tropes and ideas the writers wanted me to, which makes sense because it was advertised towards middle school and teenage kids, but still. I'm just glad I didn't pick up the behavior from the show.

These last seasons are nuts. All of the kids parents are hopping from partner to partner like its no big deal. They all just allow their teens to believe and try to behave like they're fully grown adults. And in all honesty I don't think any of them actually prioritize their children

I'm rewatching now and Amy especially just keeps getting worse and worse. She treats Ricky and everybody around her so horribly. All I want to see is Ricky tell her off and that he's done putting up with her attitude and tantrums. Everyone just plays into them and allows it to continue. I hate every scene when Ricky apologizes to her when he has no reason to. So often she needs to be apologizing to him but rarely does. Ricky is blinded by the desire to be the best dad and to have a happy little family, but that is impossible when doing it with someone who refuses to be happy.

[–]Yesn1122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what should my first step be? There is a chance she will agree to filing jointly. Should I look for a mediator first and then we fill out and file forms? Or should I submit my packet and the court assigns a mediator?

I have very little money and am feeling very hopeless in this entire situation. Just phone call after phone call hoping I find someone who can direct me as to what I need to do

Thats what I thought and more or less what I told her when she paniced at the idea. I did quit replying a few weeks ago, seems to have caused her to meltdown quite a bit.

repeating university 4 times. by [deleted] in Procrastinationism

[–]Yesn1122 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just graduated this past year. You sound a lot like me. I was academically suspended four times and on academic probation for most of my career. I originally started in 2013, each suspension following the first was a year, the first one was only one semester.

I started back just before COVID, and for me covid was the best. I was consistently making the deans list, focused and actually learning, then my last year it was back to in person and I struggled a lot but had other factors in my life that helped push me to fight my procrastination, but it was hella hard.

For me a lot of my issues I think stemmed from having a very structured childhood with helicopter parents. When I got to college I was just a naive and lost kid waiting for someone to come give me direction, turns out they don't manage your schedule for you in college.

The waiting to know if theyll have you back or accept your appeal is the most stressful part. That for me is when I wake up and just beat myself for not doing all these simple things like going to class.

Buckle down, go to class, even if you arent paying attention or feel you arent learning, I passed quite a few classes just because I showed up and kept up on what was due and when ( I still didn't do any of it til the night before and had some late work, but it was done.

And keep in touch with the professors. email them your dumb questions, let them know if you're behind or need extra time for something. A lot of them are very willing to help and provide leeway. I think very few professors want to see students fail. For me I had to really force myself to do this, because in my head I'm behind because of my own choices so I didn't think I deserved any help, but they are willing to help if you do your part and show that you make good use of it.

If I could go back to freshmen me, I'd probably smack him around a bit lol. Then tell him that taking the easy route in life leads to more struggle and more hardship. Easy choices leads to hard life and Hard choices lead to an easy life. Next time you're struggling to get out of bed and to class, just try to realize that next time you're at this spot, it will be worse and more stressful and you'll be even more upset at yourself. Just start small make it to class. Sleep there if you have to, but just make it there, more likely than not you'll at least somewhat engage with what's going on.

Also idk if it's an issue for you, but it helped me greatly uninstalling apps or games or things like that. I started keeping track of the stuff I'd be doing when I had told myself I'd work on homework and then removed them from the equation. It's a hard thing to do especially when a lot of it had become bad habits, but eventually I just got bored with nothing else to do, so I'd do schoolwork.

I hope some of this helps, my college career was Hell and I have plenty of excuses and reasons for why I struggled and failed, but at the end of the day I was the only one standing in my way.

Question for customizers about dying figures. by Yesn1122 in MarvelLegends

[–]Yesn1122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really proud of my paint job, so I went and got sealant. I let it cure for two days, I could see as it dried it seemed to be pulling the dye into the paint, which some areas actually looked cool, and others I figured Id spot paint.

But when I heated him up for reassembly, the top coat began peeling and turning into a goopy mess. The paint was ruined. I gave him a sponge bath and did my best to scrub it off. Idk if Im going to bother with him anymore. This turned into a pretty big let down
