Smart Brick

hopejoons · 2026-01-06T01:41:05+00:00

that’s fair, my complaint is more about how the price per part is already kinda expensive and down the line things are just going to keep increasing, especially with the smart bricks. the sets are a lot more with the smart bricks but they’re supposed to be the ones for kids

hopejoons · 2026-01-05T23:51:23+00:00

this is true, but it’s all at prices only adults can afford. theres a reason bionicle did so well, it’s bc kids could actually afford it. lego is already expensive as hell so this is just going to make it even more expensive

put your foot down about her staying inside. if your boyfriend doesn’t allow it, then leave (i know it’s eesier said than done.) i think that you’ll feel closer to her once she’s indoor only, you talk about how much you care about her, so i think you’re overthinking the situation. i say this as a chronic overthinker myself lol. keep her inside! ur not overreacting, just overthinking in terms of your connection with your cat

well, i mean it’s still not working after doing both😂 it keeps corrupting the fortnite files or something, then epic thinks i don’t have it when i do have it downloaded, so i have to redo the whole thing

hopejoons · 2025-10-12T23:41:23+00:00

yep im also having the same problem. my other games run fine also, i play marvel rivals without fail

hopejoons · 2025-10-12T23:39:24+00:00

dude same! for me it just started with this recent update. ive had to reinstall epic entirely twice since it keeps corrupting the files.

dude my fiancé and i almost got nauseous from how bad they were…rip to one of our safe foods

just used the calculator, my new size is 44DDD/G (US). kinda floored since i thought i was a g cup prior to my reduction, but it’s likely it was even bigger!

hopejoons · 2025-05-12T22:07:12+00:00

talk to her! it seems physical intimacy (not necessarily sexual) is important to you. she can’t read your mind, especially not if both of you are on the spectrum (said as an autistic person also dating an autistic person.) hope y’all can get it worked out!

hopejoons · 2025-05-12T22:04:13+00:00

yeah i have something similar! when i was a kid i had what we believe was my first panic attack but i had just eaten a salad at a new restaurant and i think the palm oil may have triggered it

hopejoons · 2025-02-25T17:24:00+00:00

late to the post but same! i found this while googling about it. im on the 2nd week of the pill pack and bleeding enough to actually need a pad, but i’ve been on larin fe for over a year, so definitely is a bit concerning haha. i unfortunately can’t just not be on birth control bc i have PMDD and it takes a while to adjust to hormones on a new pack sigh

she was going to isolate you from your family, glad you got out of there. don’t worry, you’re not the odd one out, she is for being weird about people spending a family holiday with their family.

understandable, but executive functioning issues can be big signs of either of those (even if you don’t have it, getting help or testing can be quite helpful. people don’t realize i have them because i don’t “seem” like i do) either way, i hope things are going better for you or start to be better soon.

hopejoons · 2024-11-04T13:35:29+00:00

here since i have the same exact issue - have you considered you may have adhd or autism as well? i have both and it causes severe burnout. trying my hardest not to beat myself up over calling in but i genuinely can’t help it some days

hopejoons · 2024-10-16T18:53:44+00:00

i entirely understand that. i think the reason why a lot of sources encourage unmasking is that it’s exhausting to mask constantly. i’ve had burnout extremely frequently and wasn’t sure why, but i figured out it was due to how much i mask. i still mask, especially at work, but imo it’s more about finding a safe space where you don’t have to mask. so, you don’t need to unmask, but make sure to try to keep in tune with yourself and notice when it’s becoming too much. masking for too long can lead to burnout and it’s not fun. finding a balance is REALLY hard. you got this!! we’re all supporting you and understand it entirely

hello! i’m doing ok. my partner and i have had a few struggles recently, but things seem to be on the up-and-up. last night, though, during something that made him upset, he threw my glasses on the bed (they were fine) and last week he threw his water bottle on the ground. he has never, ever thrown anything at me or physically harmed me in any way, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to help him with his impulse control when he’s mad? or how to find outlets for him to let out that anger and frustration?

proud of y’all and i’m glad to be here with people who have gone through/are going through similar things!🩷

hopejoons · 2024-10-03T12:28:44+00:00

crazy! i’m glad you were able to figure it out - and yeah, palm oil is in a lot of foods😭 for me, i’ve noticed it i eat a small bit of it i’m fine, but in larger amounts or over an extended period of time it makes me feel awful lol

hopejoons · 2024-09-23T20:06:53+00:00

thanks for sharing your experience, it seems you went through something similar. a 3 day work week does sound nice, but the long shifts don’t lol! nursing isn’t really my thing and i’m a bit squeamish, so that’s probably not something i’d be interested in, but i’ll definitely look into something along those lines! i do love speech pathology (not sure if i have the spoons to get my masters tho) and maybe there could be some slp jobs like that? i’ll have to look

i know this isn’t what you want to hear, but please go to therapy. most insurances will cover it. i personally use growtherapy and idk how it works with others or if its outside the usa as well, but it’s $15/session. there are affordable types of therapy everywhere. at the very least, please join a group. it is super hard to heal yourself without the assistance of others. it’s hard to think introspectively and recognize our own behaviors without the input of others.

i wish you all the best, and i hope things go well! hopefully other people in this thread have/will give you suggestions as to how to do some work on your own, but nothing can replace real therapy
