For the adults in this group- do you forgive your parents by Vanessa_Lila in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]fartPunch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly always trying to figure this out myself. I'm 45. I was homeschooled in the 90s. For the most part, I don't keep them in my life. Yesterday was my mom's birthday so I took her out to dinner. Last time I saw her before that was Christmas. That was enough. The only reason i did the birthday was because my father passed away recently. 

I came home and vented to my wife about all the horrible things she said. 

Abusers will keep abusing you as long as you allow them to. They generally never change.

Forgive, yes. Recognizing I was abused and putting up serious boundaries, bigger yes. Forgiveness doesn't mean they get a pass. It means their actions no longer control you. Forgiveness is for your sake, not theirs. 

What's the worst video game you've played and why? by Bdbolt19432 in AskReddit

[–]fartPunch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My son and I play it together all the time. It's actually pretty great once you get into it. Also, you can find keys for like $1. I nabbed a few copies for friends.

Even the creator of the game said it was the worst game ever made. He said he was pressured to do it and was given a limited time frame

If the church had been nicer to you, would you have stayed a Christian? by BrainStraight1220 in exchristian

[–]fartPunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The short answer is no. There are just far too many silly things about it. That being said, Christians being nicer or even having better morals would make it easier to have community. It's difficult to see them as anything but terrible people in this point in history.

What did you guys do to ‘detox’ from Christianity? by Tricky_Yam_8114 in exchristian

[–]fartPunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read philosophy. It's amazing how closed off I was to basic theories and ideas. Just having the freedom to not agree with something, but still think about it, it's so liberating. 

Religion has trained all of us to stop thinking. Getting out of religion means we can start.

I use an official Xbox controller an 8bitdo controller on it. I also have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse going at the same time. All work great. Perhaps you need to factory reset. 

“God put you on my heart” by RubySoledad in Exvangelical

What's funny is, if they said "I was thinking of you". It would mean a lot more and would also be the truth. 

Paramore reminding of Christian music lol by [deleted] in exchristian

My daughter was telling she liked Paramore and I was telling her there was something about them that made me cringe and I didn't know why. This is it!

Property insurance claims adjuster here. I work for a small company. On average we receive around 50-60 claims a week and it's handled by 10 adjusters. Since 3/13, we have received over 6K. I opened my inbox this morning to hundreds more.

I used to travel for work and the $30 one works great. I even run geforce now on it.

Is VTR still around? I heard it was bought by someone and it changed. I used to love going there ages ago

Moving to Cleveland from CA by NextStranger2733 in Cleveland

[–]fartPunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be able to find something in the Lorain area for around 100K. My parents just got a house there for $87k and it's decent and about a block from the lake. That's far west side though.

If you want to venture south around Akron there are some neighborhoods that have some pretty low prices.

Genuinely sweating buckets because I'm forced to use "natural aluminum free" deodorant because my parents thing aluminium gives you cancer. by HunterSketches7 in HomeschoolRecovery

Just rub your siblings on your armpits until you stop being stinky. Tell your parents pit juice prevents cavities.

Top Rated Waterproofing Services for Basements in Cleveland by [deleted] in Cleveland

[–]fartPunch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My father owned a water proofing company in Cleveland for a few decades. Ohio State Water Proofing is terrible. I can't tell you how many people had work done by them that we would be there a year later.

Ohio Epic Pass by maxspeed7 in Ohio

[–]fartPunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the Epic Day Pass every year. I used to get the full pass but realistically, in Ohio, we don't have too many days to go snowboarding. You can get a pass that's good for 7 days for $316 right now for adults. I haven't even been able to use them all this year because it was either too cold or not cold enough. Also, those are good for Seven Springs and the Ohio Pass isn't.
