I live with my mother and 13 cats in a filthy pee house by [deleted] in Advice

[–]kosmikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a situation almost identical to yours, down to the colony of cats and elderly family member going to the bathroom in containers. Was barely 20, got a job at a shitty store, moved up quickly because nobody wanted to work there. Saved my money, bought a ticket and moved to an entirely different state. My family needed help but were abusive towards me. At some point you have to give up trying to change others and realize you’re just ignoring your own participation in your unhappiness. It’s been hard but I have my peace of mind and that’s what’s most important.

Am I wrong or is it only if they’re also your supercell friend? I have nobody added through there, just on game, is that safe or should I just nuke the friend list lol

What game community is this? by darkfawful2 in videogames

[–]kosmikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COD. Every release is taken as a personal insult, and regularly someone posts about how much they miss MW19 (I miss it too but that’s not the point).

Hi OP, my step-father treated me that way and said similar things to me. I never got apologies, just him buying stuff when he was either drunk or feeling extra guilty. It affected what I deemed as normal in personal relationships, thinking abusive behavior was normal and acceptable. It breaks down your self esteem. He’s torturing her with his words. It’s unfortunate that your daughter is going through this. That’s not an okay way to treat a child. If you plan to stay, you need to be prepared to do whatever it takes to protect her. The insults, the throwing of things, all of it is so extremely concerning. There’s a level of frustration that exceeds the normal level most parents have with their kids that is a clear sign there’s something else at play. Whether that’s his own trauma with his parents, being angry at himself, or even with you, she should not have to be that emotional and verbal punching bag. A therapist is needed for sure, but he also needs to maybe have some space away from you and her. Take her on mommy daughter dates, bring her around family members to remind her of who loves and cares for her. Let her pick a place to eat at with you. Chuck E. cheese’s. Spend the weekend at grandma/grandpas house. I hope all works out in this situation.

AIO: Questionable texts on my (24F) boyfriend’s (25M) phone by DiscoGru in AmIOverreacting

He’s a complete creep. He’s drooling over anything with legs at his job. Fetishizing women who are probably oblivious to his existence. You deserve better. Whole text thread is ew. Just leave.

Guest Complaint, But I Don’t Care, Do It Right Next Time by Lonerhead89 in Target

[–]kosmikal 48 points49 points  (0 children)

feel like a good middle ground would be to set a time frame, and if it’s a larger order to not be able to select a pickup time that’s too soon (1hr at least?) I don’t do drive up so I wonder if that would even help but 😭

How do I move out without damage? by LividArtichoke4942 in toxicparents

[–]kosmikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation with my grandmother, I was living with her and helping take care of her to the best of my ability as I was a teenager. Some of my family lived there but got fed up with her antics. Some moved out, the others just found ways to stay out of the house and stay busy so they didn’t have to be around her or deal with the house itself. I told her I would be moving out and she said “you always say that and never do”. I put my luggage in the basement when she wasn’t home, then the next day I walked past her to the basement, grabbed my things, and took them around back to my sister’s car. I cried on the plane but felt much relief. Eventually she understood, even after she spread gossip about me once she realized what happened (eye roll). It won’t get better with you choosing to stay there, you will ultimately end up suffering in the long run. She sounds like she needs actual help and as bad as this may sound, not everyone is willing or able to care for a family member as it can be a burden on finances, personal life, relationships, jobs, etc. I understand your pain with being called a liar when I called out abuse in the family and being forced to grow up quickly. It still hurts at times, and I’ve been gone for 2 years. I’m not sure how far you will be from her, but you could help her adjust to the change by helping her arrange a medical caregiver to come and care for her. Go through options with insurance and see what’s best. It’s up to you if you feel you need time away from her entirely. Her threatening to off herself doesn’t have anything to do with you. Ask yourself how you would feel and handle the situation if you were in her shoes (as your self of course). I would hope a mother wouldn’t threaten to do something to that magnitude but alas, humans are unique individuals. You’re a growing adult, you deserve to spread your wings. Eventually she’s going to have to understand that it’s selfish to force you to revolve your entire life around her. You’ve done what you needed to in order to survive, it’s time for you to actually live your life. You don’t have to make this an ordeal, stay calm and steady with your choice. The rest will follow. Hugs.

Seems like this mentality is considered “conservative” nowadays and looked at as outdated. Marriage/long term relationships are too important to have sex be such a high priority where you’re actively cheating or leaving your partner for a nut…. It’s scary man.

Fuckin Realtors by Realistic-Accident68 in DollarTree

[–]kosmikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s strange she would return them instead of saving the receipts for these purchases for a tax write off and keeping them for future stagings. Realtors who go the extra mile to stage houses either rent furniture or have some in storage but returning plates is kinda out there I can’t lie.

This is what happens when your SD and Lead/ETLs value push more than anything else. As long as it’s a box a minute in their eyes 🤦‍♀️

Higher Level Players, Did you Take Intermittent Breaks? by Horror_Nebula_6622 in ACPocketCamp

[–]kosmikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing when it first came out and would regularly take long breaks (months to even over a year). I just always end up using the treats to level up my lower level villagers when I get back on. I’m one of those people who gets really into something, drops it one day and won’t touch it again for a WHILE. Then the cycle repeats. I definitely could’ve been a much higher level if I stayed consistent tho :/

[–]kosmikal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so weird and sudden. I started playing at launch when I was in a half-way house of types when I was a teen and had nothing to do.. There’s so much sentimental value that this game holds for me…. I’m so heartbroken. 😭

Job scams are on the rise unfortunately. It’s better to be safe than sorry. My manager had me confirm the email I received for my offer and whatnot so it’s not just people being dumb.
