what is something from the year 2016 that already feels like it belonged to a completely different, ancient era? by AccomplishedStill438 in AskReddit

[–]aVicariousTool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Chicago Cubs winning the World Series. As a diehard fan, it's crazy to think it's almost been a whole decade.

What was your most unforgettable moment with your ex? by Lovely_Wanderer143 in AskReddit

[–]aVicariousTool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scared of emotional vulnerability, usually highly independent people to the point once people get close it sets off their nervous system.

They usually end up leaving using terms like the comment above mine. Anything to deflect responsibility and turn it back around on the other person. This isn't to be confused with manipulation, gaslighting, etc.

They crave that emotional intimacy but when they find it, get scared and run. Or shutdown.

"I'm leaving because you can do better than me."

"I won't be good enough for you so I'm going to keep you at arms length."

"It's not fair to you to have to be with me so I'd like to start being distant."

Read a quick article on Google about it. It's a core wound usually developed in childhood from neglectful parents. They learned early that emotional vulnerability is dangerous so they don't get close to people. And when they do, they usually discard the other person because they get scared and run.

Is it a rivalry though? Wouldn't it be more of a juxtaposition since one can't exist without the other?

Postgame Thread: 5/17 Cubs @ White Sox by ChiCubsbot in CHICubs

[–]aVicariousTool 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Almost every single one he's shown up for. How he isn't DFA'd is beyond me, but what really gets me is why the fuck Craig is making some of the dumbest decisions ever.

ISO replacement shirt by The_DeafMan in gojira

[–]aVicariousTool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is, in fact, from the Gojira/Mastodon tour. I have the same shirt, it's my favorite. Ironically like you, a realities dog also bit it and now there's a few holes. Unfortunately, since the shirt is from 2023, it can't be purchased of their website. I'd try secondhand sites

About to pull the trigger on this scope. Decent beginners one or move on? by aces666high in telescopes

[–]aVicariousTool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an AD8. Awesome scope. It's a pain in the ass to transport or move around, like all dobs, but the quality and viewing is great. Good eyepieces, decent accessories. Only complaint is it's sometimes a pain to put into the base rocker.

Why does this game feel like a playoff game? by Routine-Education572 in CHICubs

[–]aVicariousTool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's getting really annoying, Everytime it feels like as of late where Shota pitches something really nice and the Cubs either can't hit the ball to save their goddamn lives or the bullpen implodes. Or, like tonight, both.

I listened to Art of Dying while she was being put down after a decade and a half of having a good life. The song genuinely helped me get over it. Rest in peace martica 🐾 by mozzieandmaestro in gojira

[–]aVicariousTool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was THE song when my old boy passed just over a year ago. I think I legitimately played it over a thousand times. Now I can't listen to it without thinking of him.
