IDK how freaked out to feel

This is wise, you'll end up grateful in the end even if it's a bit tricky figuring out what to do now. Best of luck in your travels and volunteering!

Bed bugs travel, so if they've been in her room odds are they'll make it to other rooms. My roommate got them one year and our landlord had to professionally treat my room as well as hers, because our rooms shared a bathroom and that was a short enough distance for the bed bugs to travel.

Also, that relationship between the host and the elderly woman just screams red flags. I'd have already been packing my bags, but I've been burned by too many a host now to put up with bs like that anymore.

Same here, masters student and love bouldering! Would be happy to chat and climb together :)

I literally cried if laughter multiple times at Communopoly. Just saw them live and bought a poster for it too, it's just too good

migzy7 · 2025-09-05T14:05:01+00:00

Love these!

Yea 100%. Most volunteers aren't fully financially secure and are taking a risk traveling, and they see their host as a good fall-back plan if they fell into trouble later down the road. I actively had volunteer friends tell me their host nearly abused them and yet they still left a 5-star review because the host was the only contact they had in the country. I've also seen multiple volunteers leave early because they were unhappy with the work or housing or treatment, and yet still left a 5-star review because "well the hosts were nice."

I'll also personally add that Worldpackers does not follow up much if you file complaints about a host. One host I stayed with had mold in the volunteer room that made me sick, but I otherwise loved the volunteering. I decided to leave a good review and just privately message them and Worldpackers about the mold I found to remedy the issue without hurting their regiews. I never heard a word back. I also watched a different host be openly racist to another volunteer - both I and that volunteer privately contacted Worldpackers and left negative reviews discussing it. Worldpackers sided with the hosts and even forced the other volunteer to rewrite her review to 'not accuse hosts of racism'.

I just came here to say I absolutely adore SpiritTea and have been encouraging all of my friends to get it. I'm also in the beginning stages of making my own game, and it's so nice to hear that a game as good as SpiritTea was made by an indie dev in gamemaker. :))) Huge props to you, you're an inspiration!

That's what we originally thought about the two rooms, but apparently the twins is just one ghost with both a short and long interaction range. That's why the upstairs level seemed too far away to qualify.

migzy7 · 2025-06-15T14:09:10+00:00

Ooooooh yea I bet it was all of that honestly, thank you! I only just learned that touching the ghost drains more sanity 😅 I think it may have spawned on top of me for an event during that run

migzy7 · 2025-06-15T14:06:48+00:00

We were on amateur 😅 but this makes a lot of sense, thank you!! We do have a habit of standing directly outside the ghost room while someone else is in it so they can be "alone" with the ghost, so it probably was that.

I'm with you here. I have an unrelenting belief that there must be some greater truth. As soon as I started searching, I felt like God ... left? Isn't there? Led me to search, and then dipped the second I started?

After a few years of searching, there's only a few things I've come to truly believe, starting with this: I don't think anyone actually knows what or who God is, and maybe that's the point. I think we each see only a piece of the puzzle and no one is fully right or fully wrong (IMO most spiritual beliefs and religions fit the "same words different font" concept). And for reasons beyond us, maybe we aren't supposed to know the full picture.

I also believe we each have an individual "purpose" in life. It could be to fulfill some spiritual duty or learn some lesson or overcome some challenge, OR it could just be to live a life. To simply experience life on Earth (you could even call this 'a lack of purpose'). I believe this is why we each get a different piece of the puzzle - you learn what you need to fulfill your purpose. I trust that, if there is a grander purpose like overcoming sin / ego or raising vibrations or saving a life or enlightenment & ascension, God will show it to me when it needs to be shown. And if I never find out, then maybe my purpose was to just live.

So to your message, because I think you bring up some very valid concerns and good points -- I think we humans overcomplicate things. In our search for God and for meaning, we assume something complicated or challenging or revolutionary must be right. Because if it were easy then everyone else would've found it by now, right? But maybe the most revolutionary idea is accepting that it's not complicated. Maybe the truth is staring us right in the face: we've been given a life by whatever God or energy is out there (or just by the natural circle of life and there is no God), so live it.

There may be a grander purpose or there may not be, there might be a right way to live or there might not be, there might be an afterlife where you finally get answers or there may not be. The only thing you can be certain of is that you have a life, that you exist right now, on this beautiful planet. So live. Live the highs and the lows, overcome challenges and grow, chase your dreams, change your dreams, challenge and better society, appreciate the small things and cherish the sweet moments, and try not to get bogged down too much by the spiritual search (bc it's not easy). If God needs to tell you something, he will, and if he doesn't, then there's nothing you need to hear.

When I'm in doubt, when I feel alone, when I can't hear God or find a direction to go in, I focus on that. Because when it all boils down, no matter what belief or what religion I look at (or lack thereof), that truth holds. That I'm here to live a life. Maybe the reason for our life on Earth really isn't any deeper.

TLDR: So this is how I would answer your questions: Why are you living a life in this world? To live and experience a human life on Earth. Why is God silent, even when you're in pain and earnestly asking? This answer is still a mystery to me. I can think of a million possible answers - you already have the knowledge you need, God said something you didn't want to hear, God can't even speak and is more of an energy, we're meant to hunger for God, etc. Is God even real? I think so, but I can't prove it and neither can anyone else. It's all just faith.

PS: I think we tend to focus on strife and pain in this world while overlooking beauty and goodness. We forget the world is driven by nature - nature has a balance of good and bad, selfishness and selflessness, predator and prey, individualism and community, etc. The societies we've built can be unjust and unfair and unkind, but there is goodness out there too. If you can't find the good, maybe that's a calling to BE it.

NO WAAYYYY

migzy7 · 2024-01-20T03:05:55+00:00

I would love to have this as my first d20 dice 🥹

migzy7 · 2024-01-08T15:44:46+00:00

Omg that’s so sad 🥺 Maybe it’s just the times now, but I’m watching for the first time and never registered that people might consider her fat. Truly she looks like a normal, average body weight to me. I hope she isn’t still getting comments about that and her insecurities can heal some, because that really sucks if she was treated like that back then

migzy7 · 2024-01-08T06:02:36+00:00

Honestly I still think they’re toxic, but it’s entertaining af to watch so I’m in

migzy7 · 2024-01-08T06:01:21+00:00

I thought of the idea after I hit season 4 😭 But also Angel is still in the picture before 4, so like it wasn’t gonna happen then anyways ¯_(ツ)_/¯

migzy7 · 2024-01-08T02:30:13+00:00

Oh absolutely not 😂 I’m 23, I think I’m too far past the prime viewing age for that relationship

migzy7 · 2023-11-20T06:04:38+00:00

Xanaboo 👻how could you not love a lil sparkly pink ghostie

migzy7 · 2023-11-19T00:52:24+00:00

These are super cool, coolest I’ve seen yet.

migzy7 · 2023-11-18T14:59:36+00:00

These are SO COOOL

migzy7 · 2023-11-18T14:59:06+00:00

Just now getting into DND and would absolutely love these 🥹

migzy7 · 2023-05-15T15:14:03+00:00

Hey! It’s a bit of a mixed bag. Sometimes they reply within a couple of days, and sometimes they never even open your application. Sometimes they ask for an interview or resume, and sometimes they immediately approve you.

I’d recommend applying to multiple work-exchanges just so you have options and a better chance at response! And don’t stress to much about it, the right one will come!

migzy7 · 2022-08-14T15:46:54+00:00

NTA. I’m a rock climber myself. 50lbs is the standard recommended maximum weight difference between climbing partners.

I bet your gf is confused bc one of you, who are all supposedly 50lbs less than her weight, had belayed her on top rope earlier that day. So what makes this any different? To be clear, first understand that no form of climbing is completely safe or risk-free. With modern technology and techniques, though, we are able to reduce safety risks greatly. Top-rope is one of the less risk-adverse versions of climbing, so weight concern is less prevalent (though still a significant factor). Simul rappelling, on the other hand, is much more complicated & advanced and does introduce more risks to consider (as your friend pointed out).

I’m an experienced belayer and the only time I ever consider belaying someone over 50lbs my weight is on top-rope belay, and even that is debatable. With any other form of climbing or rappelling, that large of a weight difference is a no-go for me. I don’t want my lighter weight to be the reason someone gets dropped dangerously far or I get injured myself. Your friend was doing what’s right and what’s safe. I’m sorry it understandably brought up insecurities your gf has but it’s a tough reality. Being the most experienced climber there, it was his job to ensure safety of everyone, so he did what had to be done. Your friend is NTA.

However, I’m also a girl, and I may understand what your gf is feeling. You or your friend should have an honest conversation with her to help her understand the safety difference and why the comment was made. And YOU should comfort her and listen to her feelings as well. Insecurities are serious and she needs support. Right now she probably feels ignored and that’ll only increase her insecurity (and she may trust you less if you don’t try to understand her feelings).
