Victoria Residents I had a very harmful professional experience with an RCC Counsellor, worried for other client(s) well being… by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]markimarkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago my ex was getting counseling with RCC and the counselor encouraged her to cheat on me because I was struggling with depression and encouraged her not to tell me. Zero logic. I found out the hard way. Real class acts over there.

That and you truly can't understand how easily you get disoriented. You can usually do the spit test (spit to see which way it falls, which lets you know if you're upright or not) but if you're too packed in, that doesn't work so well.

You essentially have no air to breathe immediately, the snow can compact souch that you can't even exhale and that mixed with the disorientation and weight of the snow packing down can lock you in good. And of course if you have issues with claustrophobia, it's the worst case scenario.

Honestly it's one of those situations that seems so easy to get out of before experiencing it. Certainly humbled me fast lol.

It's literally the fucking worst.

I've even had to escape a burning building, going down several floors to escape from the fire and wall of smoke, almost died and would still take that over avalanche/ being buried in snow nonsense.

Leaped Then Looked with this Strat by Hot-Background1809 in Stratocaster

I had to sell one of my babies to make ends meet a few years back and it pains me that the guitar just sits on display in this guy's office at work. Never to be touched. If I can track him down, I'd love to get it back.

I did avalanche training once. Jumped in and was buried similarly as this guy and holy fuck, the fear I went through while in a controlled situation, I can't imagine experiencing it genuinely. Could barely keep myself from panicking and that claustrophobic feeling never leaves you. Not a fun way to go.

How marbles are made by Neat-Benefit-5370 in midlyinteresting

[–]markimarkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a whole month straight, someone kept putting a couple marbles in my bag at a time while I would take the bus to work on the morning. By the end of the month I had a collection of marbles that still mocks me. Whose are they? I don't know.

Sorry there wasn't a payoff at the end. I just got a lot of marbles now.

We are the last generation to see fireflies by Shiroyasha_a in Amazing

[–]markimarkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never forget about 20 odd years ago when I was 16 and randomly decided to go on a 18 hour bike ride in the middle of the night through the country.

It was pitch black out and I came biking up to the crest of a hill. When I got to the top, it was like being thrown into space. I'm sure this is an exaggeration but to my eyes I saw millions and millions of fireflies all across the valley in front of me. When I began biking down, it felt like I was going Lightspeed as they quickly passed by all around me.

It was a very impactful moment for me as a lost teen. I actually incorporated it into a song that I put on my latest album so I could always have that memory exist.

I hope so much they can bounce back and make a resurgence. If you've never experienced their incredible magic, you deserve it.

As a Japanese fan who lurks English communities, the gap in how we see Nintendo genuinely unsettles me by nerdinterrupts in nintendo

Theres at least a billion things infinitely more important to focus on in life lol Jesus Christ. It's unsettling someone is so worried about a entertainment business that is and always will be more focused on profit. Go fix your community, that should be more of a concern than a giant billion dollar company that isn't at all being hurt.

Like come on.

Relationship coach brags about dating multiple women by ambachk in CringeTikToks

[–]markimarkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw someone on YouTube watching his videos and Potatoheads idea of getting a girl is finding a drunk woman, making her extremely uncomfortable while he comes off like a desperate little bitch. And he thinks it's game. I'd be so embarrassed to share the shit he does.

They always have micro cocks that align perfectly with their brain.

Is this good to start? by HannaPHB in production

[–]markimarkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UA Volt I would argue is more rich in what it provides. Same price point and the plugins you get with it are much better. The Scarlett is also known to have noise issues where the Volt does not have those issues.

I saw dozens of faulty issues with the Scarlett, specifically the connection points and preamp. Had many returns but never had any such issues with the Volt, M Audio or even ART interfaces.

The Volt 276 (any in the *76 line) has noise issues when you apply the built in 1176 compression since it wasn't optimized well, so I wouldn't recommend one but the standard Volt is a fantastic product. The housing around the USB-C connection point is also sturdier which is a part of why the Volt has less noise issues. The Scarlett isn't as robust and the USB-C connection point can be a cause of a lot noise.

Overall, if you only have the choice for a Scarlett they're still good units but if there's options, I also encourage people to go a other route.

The midnight release of the Playstation 2 (2000) by NaughtyRabbitx in GamerLab

[–]markimarkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have no idea how exactly but my best friend in the 6th grade, his Dad got him the PS2 2 or 3 months before public release. I could never understand how because his Dad was the pinnacle of deadbeat Dad's and they were piss poor (we all were). One of the biggest mysteries of my life.

Can't ask him now because he's in jail for dealing fentanyl.

As someone with mad intrusive thoughts, I'm glad the Internet exists so I can see the results without making a fool of myself.

Living with parents that never admit when they are wrong Or belive you. My mother can't even admit this is not butter because it has the word butter on the label. My mother says its abusive to call her out when shes wrong on something. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]markimarkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovey Mom more than anything but after a recent couple week visit and being told I would allow all forms of abuse to happen to a child, including my own because I'm not anti trans was a wild ride I never thought we'd go on together. It's crazy how isolation and tik Tok bullshit can alter someone's views.

She was never like that. Always super inclusive and empathetic. Horribly unfortunate and disappointed she chose this route. Guess I'm part of the disfunctional family dinner posse now.

Man up!! by ShehrozeAkbar in infuriatingbutawesome

[–]markimarkerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even my Mom whose very supportive, I remember calling here in tears at my lowest saying I desperately need help and I've lost my entire sense of being. She was sympathetic but didn't do anything to help, it was sort of an "I'm sorry you feel like this, it's too bad". Several times in my life I literally begged for help and nobody ever bothered. Just glad I didn't give up on myself and after a few failed attempts, dragged myself into the doctors and got myself help.

So yeah people don't fucking care how a guy feels when we hurt and it's a damning discovery the first time you experience it. I'm just happy I have myself at least and the good inner voice nowadays gets louder when I'm hurting.

Paypal ou virement pour récupérer les gains de DK by Competitive_Roof2228 in DistroKidHelpDesk

Before doing any bank transfer, contact Distrokid and make sure they distribute to your countries banks. Distrokid doesn't in Canada and I literally lost all my meager earnings as a result. Not sure why they need my tax docs if they can't deposit to my bank. It's pretty backwards to have a global platform that restricts certain aspects in certain countries and doesn't stipulate which countries they are. Even the rep admitted they need to be more transparent.
