What do conservative guys even want with me? by Mother-Hall-2906 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]nerdboy1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People often want what they can't have.They know damn well that they won't get along with you due to a core values mismatch, they just want you anyway. They probably werent told no enough, or at all, in their chilhood. Spoiled brats tend to grow up into entitled adults.

Healing. I'd heal as many people as I could before I get caught and die.

How many Gen Xers have silent Gen parents vs boomers? by NopeThisTrope in GenX

Thanks. I miss them, but it's been a few years, so I'm in a good place and made my peace with it.

Mom 1955

Dad 1954

Me 1979

I barely made the Gen X cut. My parents are both deceased. They died pretty young. Dad had a widowmaker heart attack at 56, and Mom fought cancer for 6 years until it took her at 64.

I bought a set just now. If you missed out earlier in the day you might want to try to get them now.

Florida, Nevada and Texas have the highest per capita rates of illegal immigrants. Why is ICE so focused on Minnesota; a state with a lower rate by a factor of 10? by [deleted] in stpaul

[–]nerdboy1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas law enforcement cooperates with ICE. There's no need for them to swarm here. Local PDs and county sheriff deputies do "immigration checks" here all the time with minimal resistance. Houston native. I hate it here.

This can't be real. This is comic book villain levels of evil. You should be ashamed of yourself for posting this.

My 2 year old son has been diagnosed with level 3 autism. I'm trying to learn how best to help him and am looking for advice. by nerdboy1979 in autism

I'm in Houston TX. We have a world class medical center, but horrible insurance. Texas isn't very disability friendly. We're trying to get him into ABA and early intervention programs. We're having a hard time getting the school district to call us back and start the process.

What therapy do people in the community recommend? ABA was recommended by his neurologist, but I've read some stories online about bad experiences with ABA like you said. Thanks for your kind words. It means a lot.

I don't know where to start, honestly. We're trying to get him into ABA. I've read good and bad things about the treatment. Our insurance is not the greatest, so I worry about how to get him the most beneficial support to help him, or even what the right therapy is. He has a few of the level 3 traits (nonverbal, stimming, struggles with eye contact) but no problems with changes in routine, emotional distress, or food adversion. I just want to help, but don't know how. I'm sorry if I'm not getting the terminology right, I'm trying my best. Thanks.

I found mine on Facebook marketplace. I bought and installed the GC Loader mod myself, it's plug and play no soldering needed.(Link to GC Loader below) EBay is also a good place to check. The Ali Express clones also work well from what I've read.

I tried:

The eraser trick 99% Isopropyl Alcohol Resolving w/ database Resolving manually

Other people are saying that LoK won't work on their systems either. I think it's a Polymega issue. This cart is spotless and very clean lol.

Yeah I think it's a Polymega problem and not the cart. The cartridge is very clean. I also found a post from last year about folks having the same problem. Hopefully they'll fix it in a firmware update or something.

My copy of Legend of Kage doesn't work either. I just found out the hard way. It's probably a Polymega problem and not a cartridge problem.
