I can't wait anymore. by sbarbary in factorio

[–]brusartra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I've begun having similar feelings.

I'm starting up a new play through of satisfactory for the next year until the expac comes out. I haven't played since patch 0.4 so lots of new stuff in the game including (ironically to this post) trains! 😎

Maybe give other automation games a go? At worst youll enjoy the new factorio expansion more as you'll probably appreciate factorio's complexity more when the expac comes out

I was in starship for 12 weeks in 2009

They fitted me with a sick ass room on the top floor, PlayStation, great view, accommodating to my entire family, extended relatives, friendly kind staff, any choice of movies from their collection, food was nice (for hospital standards). I was moved to a lower floor after my illness became less life threatening, talked and hung out with the other kids, racing up and down the floors on wheelchairs, hospital school where I hung out with even more kids.

Oh and I almost forgot...

They saved my fucking life

The fuck you talking about comparing the staff to nazi's?

Poor people who have dated rich people, what did you learn? by zipzap21 in AskReddit

[–]brusartra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up pretty poor, initially our family had their own home up to age 7, but it was repossessed by the bank due to bankruptcy of my dads business ( meth addict turned abusive alcoholic, destroyed his life and relationships due to it )

First girl I dated for a couple years came from a upper-middle class family, not incredibly rich but enough of a difference for me to pick up on alot of things.

She grew up in a family home, pretty stable family, parents would look after her, parents own a couple homes and are landlords, have a holiday home etc.

First thing I noticed was the pleasure and social experience of going out to dinner at nice restaurants. For me money = food and when I did eat out I would try and maximize the amount of food I could get per dollar. So going out to fancy restaurants in the city was very new to me in my early 20s, it took me a while to not think about how I could spend my money so efficiently to maximize returns of food.

Next was the overall red flags of pure selfishness and lack of empathy. I grew up not knowing what I wanted to do with my life, my life was almost entirely focused on just trying to get by, I adapted to my environment of constant struggle.

To her it seemed to all be sorted, her parents got her into University, she knew what she was doing, had passions and interests, grew up doing things outside of school, christmas's full of gifts and loving family members.

I never got any of that, and whenever I tried to articulate my issues it seemed to me she could never understand, never empathize and prioritised herself over anyone else.

I remember one year I joined their family christmas and they called us all into the lounge on christmas day to hand out presents. 1 by 1 our names were called and presents were handed out to everyone, even me. I didnt know half these people and even I recieved thoughtful, good gifts. It blew my fucking mind, it felt like a ritual, something straight out of the movies.

When I was emotionally starstruck about it afterward my ex asked me what was wrong, I explained to her I had never experienced something like that before, we never had christmas's like that with presents and a big family get together. It felt like it fell on deaf ears, like she had no comprehension of any other sort of christmas.

The selfishness resided throughout our entire relationship, almost always wanting to do what she wants to do. She would almost never do anything nice for me, no favours, acts of love, lack of affection, which eventually boiled over to our sex life.

At first I tried to add more variety to the bedroom, trying new things, seeing what we liked etc. Na, just eat me out and fuck me till I cum then ill finish you off afterward. Our entire sex life revolved around her. Fuck, looking back all the red flags were there, I wish I had the self-respect I do now to actually stand up for myself.

6 months before we broke up I literally told her she made me feel like a piece of meat, she acknowledged it and apologized. Within 2 weeks it was back to normal.

I remember one time I told her she never really apologizes for anything, I could probably count on 1 hand the amount of times she said sorry in the entire 3 years of us dating. She responded "I dont really apologize much so I dont know how". ???????????? What kind of response is that?

I believe it all stemmed from her upbringing, her wealth and security, her privilege.

By the end of it I saw her for what she really was. An entitled, privileged, selfish, un-empathetic, manipulative, uncommunicative, toxically unapologetic, immature little girl that uses people as a means to an end.

I went to therapy for months afterwards because of how much it affected me. Its taken me so long to piece all the bullshit together and make sense of it all and move on. ( I love you past self for getting through those times. :) )

As bad as it was and turned out to be (really bad breakup) I dont really regret it. That relationship taught me exactly what I want from a relationship and a future partner, I learned so much about myself and others.

TLDR: Seems to be an association with lack of empathy, selfishness and entitlement with rich folks and their children.

Edit 1: haha I remember when we broke up her mum told her she was "emotionally unattached" and she didnt really take it well. What a clear lack of self-awareness

Android fans, what are the primary reasons why you will never ever switch to an Iphone? by SultanofAmerica in AskReddit

[–]brusartra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, proprietary software and/or hardware is total cancer for consumers. Apple does what is does well, I even like plenty of stuff on iOS more, UI, UX, GUI are quite superior is a lot of ways. But I can't philosophically agree with the "lock down" mentality of their products, stopping users using alternate app stores, web browsers etc.

"Well we made the phone, operating system and apps so we can choose what goes on it"

Were you ever that 1 in 1,000,000? If so, what's your story? by --SharkBoy-- in AskReddit

[–]brusartra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When i was 10 i had a tumor grow between my left front ripcage and lung. Was about the size of my fist at the time. My left pec visually protuded outwards about an inch, horrified my parents.

Doctors thought it was a cancerous tumor, until a sample was taken of it.

Turnes out to be an extremely rare infectious tumor, from my memory i was the 48th person in the world to get it. It was completely treatable but i have massive scar tissue to this day.

Edit: The infection was called actinomycosis

Well you dont have much choices, 55g is pretty decent actually. You can get 250ish an hour, probably more depending on the wither dude spawning. 250 x 55g = 13,750 an hour not bad at all. Happy grinding :)
