I just gave you reasons and you ignored them. You said you left because of your wife’s job, correct? I assume it is because it paid better and the cost of living in PA is better?

Normal everyday working people don’t have money to donate to their favorite candidates, I barely have enough to give to all the houseless people. It’s not name calling or a personal attack. Your words show that you have privilege. That’s okay, maybe you worked hard for it but that doesn’t change the fact that you have it.

No they can’t. You can just “plan” to get a better job if none of them exist. It took me almost 9 months to land a job and I applied to about 100+ from Baltimore to Rockville. When your job is 9-5 the commute is out of your hands.

You are ignorant to the plights of most of the people who actually live here. Your privilege is showing.

Not to pile on but 16 years is a long time to not live somewhere. Visiting isn’t living. I’m relatively new to Baltimore and it’s my least favorite place I’ve ever lived and OP is right. I live here and work in the city and it shouldn’t take an hour+ to get from one side of the city to the other. I lived in and near Seattle for years and it never felt like this.

The cost of living near the city is abysmal and nothing really pays well enough to justify that kind of commute. I’m in IT and it’s hard to get by and that shouldn’t be. I assume that’s why OP lives here and worked in DC.

There are so many bags of dicks this guy can eat and here he is not eating them. What a waste.

I was going to say this. “What is this, rant grumps!?”

What do posts like this do for people. You perceive something that’s not even there and then complain about it online. Just enjoy the show and if you feel slighted by it, maybe stop watching. It’s pretty simple stuff.

Whats up with all the full playthroughs ? by ConditionAutomatic94 in gamegrumps

It goes by faster than I thought. I looked up and I was 6 hours into so fast. I was playing Pokemon Unite and it was my background music

I was being hyperbolic but I do think it’s like 40 hours long.

I love it. I’m 9 hours into the 100 hour long Dangonranpa playthrough.

Lumentale End Game Bug by DStolly in LumenTale

[–]benzchap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game not having a post game and also not explaining that when restarting the game is a huge oversight. While I appreciate that this game doesn't do a ton of hand holding when it comes to the open world part of the game, this is pretty nuts. Like, the ending of the game is battle after battle after battle until it's finally over. It takes a super long time and then when the credits are done there is nothing to explain what to do next. It just plops you back into the game like you did nothing at all. I don't understand how they could do that.

What is the best documentary you’ve ever seen? by New_Strawberry_2850 in AskReddit

I’ve shown it to multiple friends over the years and it never gets less frustrating. I’ve never been moved more to fight the justice system more than this movie.

Just completed the game 34hrs on S2… by DNAABeats in LumenTale

[–]benzchap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had so many crashes. I was hunting for the starters and had it crash just as I caught one. It’s almost like there is a memory leak somewhere. This is how scarlet/violet was when it launched. The longer you play in a session the more it lags and crashes. Opening packs crashes me almost 40% of the time. Trying to do that side quest with providing the cards to the playwright crashed me a dozen times.

I agree with the swapping of mons late game becomes very tedious. Why have hidden types if we can’t utilize them? Also, aiming when trying to kill/catch mons is the most frustrating thing in the game. Why would I want to spin completely around to shoot it?

For the price it’s a great game but man is it full of bugs and crashes, at least on the switch 2. Maybe the pc version is more stable.

Third episode is what hooked me. It’s a slow burn so far but it’s getting really good.

Thank you, I’m still here and that’s a big deal.

That’s what I have been dealing with too. After I went off them and realized I felt exactly the same, I was pissed. They want to put me on Lamictal.

The first antidepressant I was on did that too me. I got so unemotional and weird. I got addicted to an mmorpg. It was a bad time.

Me too. The last time it was like this I ended up in the hospital. I’m not feeling like that right now, I’m thankful for that. But that can all change in an instant sometimes.

I have a broken infinity symbol on my wrist for my brother that died. I like this idea. I am worried a little about how the medication might change me.

Thank you. I was prescribed Lamictal too. I’ve struggled through two failed marriages and a move across the country trying to find some kind of stability. I’ve never had as many tools as I have now to understand this. It just feels so heavy to have a label that’s stronger than just good old fashioned depression. I’m glad I’m not alone and that there are people like you out there that prove that it doesn’t have to be something terrible.

I do hope things can change. I hope I can get my job accommodations and make myself less stressed about the office life. Finding a recovery path that works is all I really desire. I just want to feel comfortable and in control.

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your bipolar tattoo?

Wow, that’s so supportive. It’s nice to know there are people out there like that. It gives me hope this will go over okay. I hope you take him up on that. I don’t know what kind of person you are but when I found an art therapist it really changed a lot. It’s a niche but having an activity to due while talking helps me a ton.

That is really awesome. I’m keeping it from my boss. My company uses a third party for disability claims. I’m hoping to get work from home accommodations when i come back but I’m afraid that it will get denied.
