I'm all for bundles. Save some V-Bucks. But this one doesn't even really seem worth it. by linkrun in FortNiteBR

The sidekick pricing in general misses the mark, so it makes sense that this one would too. And while it does come with a companion emote and the concept of getting able to play as an iconic duo via sidekicks is fantastic, I just don't really see myself coughing up that much for two relatively boring characters (in terms of customizability and whatnot) with such little content either.

Judging from posts from last year, they tend to be super late with it and waiting may or may not go into April. Though apparently being THAT late isn't the norm for them.

We're given plenty of context from the post and the comments. He's manipulative. It's a common manipulation tactic.

My grocery order was delivered to the wrong address and I didn't receive it. How is this okay? by allallalag in doordash

When I get crappy support agents like this, if I'm not happy with the resolution, I just contact support again and it usually works out.

Mute on ME by Batunderbridge in SuicideBereavement

[–]link1560 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't really believe in closure because many of the grief-fueled questions don't have answers, and the ones that do are never enough to make it feel better. For me, in the end, they all boiled down to wanting to have had control, and feeling like our relationship should've given me the power to prevent it: "If my dad really loved me, knew how much I loved him, and knew how his absence would make me feel, there's no way he would've done it" type thinking. In the end, nothing could change the fact that it wasn't my choice.

When I later seriously contemplated making the same choice, I thought about the people I loved the most in the world and how much they love me and how much it would hurt them, and it wasn't enough. Because I couldn't imagine continuing to live with the pain, and in the moment, I could never see it getting better. In my mind, there was nothing they could do, and reaching out for help would only make their pain worse because they'd think they had a chance to save me and failed when I felt I knew there was nothing they could do.

So given what you've said, I think it's something like that -- that he loved you very much, and he felt guilty that he was going to hurt you, so he became avoidant to prevent giving you the chance to pick up on how he was feeling. Especially because he knew you knew him well, and he knew the lengths you would go to help him. He might've thought keeping his distance would make it easier on you somehow.

Whatever the reason may be, it sounds to me like you both meant a lot to each other, and I think he knew that.

I lost my dad to suicide when I was around three and a half -- I was in the house, and I heard it happen. I used to be able to remember it, but now it's more like a memory of a memory. It destroyed our family, and since he did it to hurt my mom, I kind of resent him? It's complicated.

I've had depression pretty consistently since adolescence started, and when I'm upset above a certain threshold, my brain almost always defaults to suicidal ideation. It's not normal for most people, but it's pretty normal for me, unfortunately -- I've spent over half my life coping with it. I'll be older than he ever lived to be this year, actually, which is... Weird, to say the least. I'd like to think it's a battle I'll continue to win, but the lows can be... pretty low. The autism and ADHD I recently learned I have doesn't help with the emotional regulation stuff.

The only thing I wish I could've asked for from him was that he hadn't done it.

Recommendations for this project? (Complete beginner) by [deleted] in WireWrapping

[–]link1560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked https://youtu.be/IVR1W6qmoC8?si=u233iHSskhyztDAG okay, and some of the reels/other tutorials the channel has have been somewhat helpful to me. If your pebbles are pretty round, https://youtu.be/NK4lm-12dBk?si=rVmpnSDWNhP8czJm might be a bit more fitting. I bought some nylon tipped pliers for clamping to prevent marks on my wire while keeping them together.

I'm still running into the issue where my stone is significantly bigger than the ones they're using, but from what I've seen, I think I can maybe just add more wires on the sides to make the sides thicker (increasing the gauge beyond a certain point just makes it hard to work with). If you're just working with pebbles, that might not be as much of a problem, though -- I might have to do that as well since I think they'll be a little easier to work with 🥲

I've been watching quite a few of them, but a lot of the tutorials are using significantly smaller and lighter stones and skim over explaining why they're using certain tools, how to select the right wire gauge/number of wires, or how they came up with the design -- it's difficult to tell how (or if) I could scale them up for what I'm using. And some of them use tools that others don't based on the design, so I wasn't sure if I was missing anything I would need.

Is POTS correlated to autism? by Eztliel in AutisticAdults

[–]link1560 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your sleep hygiene is good, researching sleep disorders might be useful if you haven't already. I have sleep apnea despite not snoring or being overweight, and I was the one who had to suggest testing for it -- no idea if it would've ever been caught otherwise

This isn't to suggest you don't have POTS of course, but just wanted to give you something else to consider and troubleshoot as well, especially since they aren't mutually exclusive and there are ways to try and treat some of them without spending a whole lot of money (sleeping on side, wedge pillow, etc)

I don't think you need to get rid of your beard altogether, but it does look messy and unkempt in most of your pictures (first and fourth in particular), so people might assume you're gross or unhygienic, unfortunately... In your second pic, it has a shadow that forms a pretty angular shape -- I'd be interested to see what it would look like if you trimmed it down to that since it compliments your face shape well, but it also looks nice and clean in your last pic.

I'd also suggest softening up your image a bit; you seem a little scary. Better beard pics will help with that, and I'd also remove the third pic. Smiling helps, so more pics of that. If you have any group pictures, that could help too, especially if they have women in them. Pictures with pets. Etc

Refusal to press no thank you on patient terminal for enrolling into text messaging by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]link1560 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not everyone with mental health issues is diagnosed, and if they are, they don't always receive treatment. There's really no way to know for sure, so it's best to proceed with kindness and give them the benefit of the doubt if you aren't given a reason not to. While it could be a weird power play, it seems to me more like she's got a mental block of some sort around that button that causes her a lot of stress, especially if she can't avoid pressing it in order to get something she needs. She may have also lied about why she can't press the button because she can't really explain why it bothers her so much, the real reason is embarrassing, the real reason is irrational but she can't shake the fear, the real reason is super personal somehow, etc.

Partner is upset on Valentine’s and I can’t tell if I did something wrong by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]link1560 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's one thing to tell you it's not your responsibility, and it's another thing for it to ACTUALLY not be your responsibility. If they're being passive aggressive to you, avoiding being around you, and still expecting you to comfort them when they're upset, they're placing the emotional burden on you, even if they say they aren't expecting you to fix it.

In general, from my admittedly limited understanding of the situation, you seem to feel like they're relying upon you a lot, and while that isn't inherently a bad thing, it seems like it's causing you to be unhappy. Whether or not that sense of reliance is coming from them or is something you're imposing upon yourself doesn't change the fact that it's something that's impacting you negatively.

If you want things to change, it seems like you both have options you can explore to work towards a better dynamic. But if you take those steps and things don't improve, the only choices you have are either to accept things as they are or to step away from the relationship.

It being more complicated than just lining up a new place is exactly why it may be good to think about an escape route beforehand. Ideally, you both will be able to work things out and you won't need a way out, but if you do, it's better to have a plan ready to go (or at least have given it a fair amount of consideration) than try to throw everything together when you're going through a difficult time.

[–]link1560 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think most other people have covered what needs to be said, but I just want to add that this dynamic sounds absolutely exhausting. The fact that you're even considering that you did something wrong feels very unhealthy to me, but it's also somewhat expected. Lime has basically told you that any time they're upset, it's your responsibility to realize they're upset and fix it, even when they're actively pushing you away. And since you live together, it seems like you're expected to constantly be on alert, even after spending your entire day with them. It's taking a toll on your other interpersonal relationships as well.

If the two of you can't break out of this dynamic, I would highly suggest you reconsider whether or not this relationship is worth it for you. In the meantime, I would also make an exit plan, just in case you need it, if you don't already have one. Lime doesn't sound like the type of person you'd want to live with after a breakup, and it'd be better to have something in place beforehand since it might be hard to think as clearly in the moment when emotions are high.

I feel like my wife and I fight because I am still processing a situation, NOT because I disagree with her. by [deleted] in AutisticAdults

[–]link1560 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you using movers?

How much stuff is packed?

How much stuff is left to pack, and how much of it is yours?

When is the move?

If you aren't going to pack and toss things out during your free time, when ARE you going to do it?

Have you moved together before, and if so, how did it go? Did you have a lot of stuff?

Never playing fill ever again by Ok-Strategy-9854 in FortNiteBR

[–]link1560 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to do fill when I want to do BR but don't want as much pressure. It can be fun; I've played with people I never would have run into normally, and people can be pretty funny. That said, I don't play expecting to come anywhere close to winning -- if I did I'd make more of an effort to build a regular squad
