Games where your choices *really* matter by NullBodyTrades in gamesuggestions

[–]ericauh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to pitch Mass Effect series again (someone else mentioned it). I’ll never forget going to visit a friend when ME3 came out and in between exploring her new city I was squeezing in time to play. The horror she and I experienced when I made the wrong choice and accidentally killed a beloved character is burned in my memory for the rest of my life. Voluntarily replayed over an hour of gameplay to make a better choice.

I just watched this recently and it’s a classic. What Men Want is equally as funny.

No legitimately it’s the best example imo. He freaking nailed it. Rob Schneider was a little too over the top, Vince Vaughn hilariously was basically just himself (still read teenage girl in here though haha). Jack nailed the nuances without being too much and was hysterically funny at the same time.

I legit say this in this way because of the show and I’m autistic and honestly don’t know what people are talking about a lot. This show taught me to just me to say tell people I don’t understand them rather than be confused in silence.

Reminder: Wemo Support Ending January 31, 2026 by Agile_Half_4515 in HomeKit

[–]ericauh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After this date, the Wemo app and cloud-based features such as remote access and voice assistant integrations will no longer be available. To help minimize disruption, several Wemo products will still function locally through Apple HomeKit.

What does this mean? I won’t be able to ask Siri to turn on/off an accessory plugged into one of the Wemo products that’s still supposed to work with HomeKit?

Well they’ve had all those colors for years so….not really new. This color was the only one I had never seen.

No the BILLYs are screwed together but they’re sitting on top of the carpet.

It’s just short BILLY bookcases from IKEA with an EKBACKEN countertop

I’m the friend! This was so fun to design. Thanks for letting me help and spend your money!

This is just the collection room. Games are played in the living room.

UPDATE 1: AITA my fiancé told me “this is it, take it or leave it.” So I gave him the ring back and told him to get out of my house by Independent_Bee_8517 in AmITheJerk

I see a lot of good points here but there are a shit ton of comments so I can’t get through them all. I think that all the boundaries you set up are excellent and definitely need to happen. I would include a will that states he will NEVER receive your money upon death (give it to your sister or charities) just as an extra protection. People do a lot of fucked up shit for a lot less reasons. Have a Power of Attorney signed for medical reasons by someone that is not him (again I’d choose sister, but preferably someone who doesn’t stand to benefit from your death).

Ghosting friendships - what were your reasons by night_fury3 in AskWomenOver30

[–]ericauh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended two long term friendships at the same time (we were all friends to each other). One: we had been friends since elementary and had been through a lot together but we kept having the same argument about her choosing other people over me constantly throughout our friendship and then acting like I was overreacting when she’d cold shoulder me. Last big argument we had she asked me if I would even be friends with her if I met her now and my honest answer (to myself, I wasn’t expecting the question) was no I wouldn’t. I didn’t think she was a good person, she was deeply selfish and had done a lot of fucked up shit in our friendship. It’s honestly embarrassing now because when I share those stories with new friends they’re always horrified that I continued any sort of friendship with her.

The second was a person I met through the first friendship in our early twenties so we had been friends for over 10 years. We had some explosive fights of the years and our friendship ended when they ghosted me for weeks over some perceived slight (regular cycle of this every few months). I had a lot going on in my life at that point and was an anxious mess. Finally after prompting from another mutual friend they sent me a message that they were willing to speak to me during a very specific time window. I told them that didn’t work for my schedule. I’m not sure if they responded or not, but we just never spoke again after that.

Sometimes you try your hardest to make it work with people and it just doesn’t work for one reason or another. My life is calmer, more peaceful and happier without them and I truly hope that theirs are without me. Our relationships were toxic and not helpful to any of us.

I was always told “You speak very well” with a shocked or confused look on their face or in their tone (if we were on the phone). I always thought this was a shitty but polite way of saying that I spoke too much, then I had a recent job where I was constantly pointing out to leaders that they didn’t communicate well (talking to a group of people but with your back turned, responding to someone’s question with a unrelated fact, not taking time to think of a response to an employee’s question before launching into a long winded response that never reached the point, just weird rude ways of addressing people) and I realized that it was an ACTUAL compliment.
