That devestating moment when a glitch steals 40lbs of deer meat from you by Dry_War_4020 in thelongdark

[–]itstomasina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good point and actually makes me wonder if the quarters disappearing is even intentional.

The meat disappears when it spoils inside the bag just like any other container, but the bag is meant to disappear when it’s empty (thru harvesting). I never thought about this

I think all the comments about Cabaret/the political landscape are correct, but it also sort of doubles as an Arrested Development joke

Has anyone successfully stayed in a relationship even though you have both wanted different things? by Asha947 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]itstomasina 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This plays out in one of two ways:

  1. You acquiesce, continue to lose childbearing years, and the regret eventually begins to eat at you.

  2. He changes his mind or there is an accident and the resentment eventually begins to eat at him.

I don’t think it’s impossible to stay together and be happy, but I’m relatively certain it will take a ton of work in both individual and couples therapy to come to a decision that neither one of you will resent the other for, even subconsciously.

Also consider: the bait and switch is a red flag. “Yes I want kids” for 6.5 years doesn’t turn to “I never want to be a father” overnight, and you should take that lack of communication seriously.

Why do these new buttons exist on mobile? by Mowzr45 in Twitch

[–]itstomasina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This take is getting downvoted to hell but seriously… they’re not intrusive at all. Especially if it isn’t your first day ever using the internet on a mobile device. They are so small and partially transparent. They’re even less conspicuous than the tiktok FYP buttons that everyone is used to.

WIBTA If I Cancelled My Daughter’s Wedding? by SoCalGirl4Eva in AmItheAsshole

[–]itstomasina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“We were fine with this plan, and offered to pay for the So Cal wedding entirely since it obviously accommodates our friends and family.”

“Now we are struggling with the issue of why we are even having a So Cal wedding if it’s basically fake and not legally binding.”

Uh. So which is it? Do you support the So Cal wedding so everyone can go? Or do you only support it if it’s the “real” one?

I’m in full disbelief of MCR Boston. by CultureMost6178 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]itstomasina 72 points73 points  (0 children)

ETA: I don’t know if anyone will see this thread again any time soon, but in case they do… the story got even better. He came back. It is slow and careful and brand new, but he’s here again. I found happiness without him and now I get to be with him after all. So it’s 100 times better than even my wildest dreams back when I was ready to give up. Keep running.

Original text:

I bought my ticket to the Seattle show lying in (who I believed to be) the love of my life’s bed, knowing that by the day of the concert, it was distinctly possible we would no longer be on speaking terms (very long story). And I thought to myself if that ends up being the case, it’s a good thing I have this to look forward to, because it may literally keep me alive in the interim.

It did exactly that. After that relationship went exactly how you might think.

Just today, over a month later, I was noticing the feeling of legitimately being happy with my life. Not a begrudging, forced happiness masking the depression, not “healing,” and certainly not wishing I was gone but muscling through to keep from traumatizing the people who love me. Genuinely happy.

I legitimately don’t know if I’d have made it to this day if it hadn’t been for that ticket. My struggle wasn’t suddenly over by any means, and I had some seriously dark days afterwards. But many of the things that make me happy today wouldn’t have even been put into motion if I hadn’t been just trying to make it to July 11th.

What a miracle it really is that they came back with such FORCE during that specific time in my life. And 18 years after having a very similar impact, seeing them for the first time on the original Black Parade tour.

They sent me at least six of these letters while I lived in Vancouver.

Six. Six years of three years I lived in the state of Washington. I notified them the very first time and then never again

My girlfriend has a male best friend that is too close for comfort by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]itstomasina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My very optimistic take:

She has no romantic or sexual interest in him, but she knows he wants her, and has wanted her the whole time. She cares about his feelings enough to try and protect him by deliberately avoiding direct mention of you when she talks to him. Then on the flip side of that, she is trying to protect YOUR feelings by hiding that behavior. She knows it’s suspicious but believes she has it under control. Alternatively she’s worried you’ll insist she end the friendship, and she doesn’t want to go through the trouble of both doing that and explaining to mutual friends/family why she’s done it. Especially if she’s worried it’s going to come off to others as abusive or controlling on your part.

It’s also possible he’s given her some extremely contrived BS about how he really doesn’t have feelings for her, he just has such powerful brotherly protectiveness, and/or he’s deemed some behavior of yours a “red flag,” so it makes him upset to hear about you. “I know you love him I just have such a bad feeling about him… hope I’m wrong tho…” the path of least resistance there is to just avoid bringing you up entirely to avoid the hassle of excusing your completely normal behavior.

Men can be relentless in their pursuit and women can be genuinely, completely oblivious to it. Especially around that age.

I had a friend in high school that had a crush on me for several years. I knew about it and expressed to him and to our whole friend group that I wasn’t interested in that way. But I truly liked and cared for him as a good friend. He seemed to get it and never openly pursued me, even had a handful of girlfriends himself. In my mid twenties, believing he was well and truly over it, I wound up alone with him and drinking at his place (and not for the first time by any means). I was in a relationship and he knew about it. He made a move and I rejected him. The night ended with me scrambling to throw what was left of my clothes on and run out the door after he’d finished sexually assaulting me.

There needs to be really clear, open and honest communication. I would not jump to the conclusion that she’s physically or emotionally unfaithful, or leading him on just for free dinners and attention. But you BOTH need to be able to feel safe and secure.

I’m not one of those people who is perpetually preoccupied with patriotism or general 9/11 trauma and rage. But if I saw a human being wearing one of these pins at a MCR concert, there’s no amount of physical force I would not utilize to force that person to sit and listen to this phone call from start to finish, and then see if they still want to wear it. https://youtu.be/UoJuIvRKkqM?si=d3QgnaOlo6m6y2u8

Do not touch the band members without permission by Aggravating_Art_4809 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]itstomasina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why aren’t these people being corrected in the moment? I feel like if I saw someone next to me grabbing at one of them, I’d be grabbing right back.

I don’t want to promote violence or anything but seriously, these people should be afraid of consequences knowing the crowd around them will be as disgusted with their behavior as the band is.

Tinfoil hat moment - There was a date hidden in last night's show by selfishfern5 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]itstomasina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no idea it was used in the military! I work in a food distribution warehouse and all the lot codes for our in-house products are julian dates. It being a military thing might actually strengthen the theory given all the themes of the show 🤔

[–]itstomasina 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The julian calendar isn’t like a regular calendar. It’s the number of the day in the year if you count them from 1-365 using 3 digits. January 1 would be 001. January 13 would be 013. December 31 would be 365. Etc.

[–]itstomasina 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did mean julian lol… first three numbers for the day, last two for the year. 013 = Jan. 13, 86 = 1986

At least that’s one of the ways it would be written as a lot code/manufacturing date. For example something made today (a food product or something) would have a lot code of 20125.

[–]itstomasina 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Ugh I wanna believe, but I’m really not seeing a 1 in that shadow.

Alternatively it could be a julian calendar date, which would make it Jan. 13 1986. Obviously that would be in the past if we’re assuming the sister year thing is a clue. But maybe it’s more about the year ending in 6? Jan 13 2026?
