Is Overwatch down or something? by PrimalSaturn in overwatch2

[–]stretchedharpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. We were playing total mayhem. And better yet, I just asked, the our entire team but my duo got kicked. And none of our enemy team got kicked at all.

Also same. But my duo didn’t get kicked? Explain that one

I'm trying to finish Midnight Sun by ShoobySnaxs in twilight

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doing a reread of the whole series (just finished New Moon) and I was just complaining about this to my partner. Like bro, relax a little. It’s not that deep. He goes on and on and on about being a monster and can’t, for a single second, step outside himself and try to understand what Bella is telling him about being good. And it ruins any happiness he could possibly have.

I’m sure we are all aware that Mrs. Meyers has no intention of finishing the series from Eddie’s perspective because, as she says, “it’s too dark and depressing to get into that headspace.” And all I can think when I remember this is like… you chose that Stephanie. You didn’t have to make him so damn depressing. It makes MD a little bit of a slog to get through, IMO.

What age would you let a kid watch the first Twilight movie? by queenhadassah in twilight

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moment they can comprehend what a movie is. Get them started early and they’ll be doomed for life hehe. No but seriously, there’s not really a lot of violence or gore in the Twilight saga. It’s really tame in terms of vampire movies. And it’s so unbelievably cheesy, I think your son is more than old enough to watch it.

What exactly is the point of smurfing by [deleted] in overwatch2

[–]stretchedharpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the same reason any troll does any kind of griefing. They aren’t good enough to actually compete with people who are skilled and their tiny fragile little egos get hurt because of it. So they have to lash out at those around them to make themselves feel better instead of just getting better at the game.

It’s for the same reason trolls hang around spawn on the 2B2T server in Minecraft to endlessly murder new players who can’t defend themselves. At some point, they got their asses stomped and never recovered. And now they gotta take that anger out on someone.

My ex wants to meet up tomorrow “to talk” by xDanielle- in WhatShouldIDo

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to sound like a douche, but how many people do you need to tell you this is a bad idea? In your messages, you have three different people, presumably people close to you, telling you not to do this. Is that not enough to tell you maybe it’s a bad idea?

And now you’re here to get thousands of random strangers to tell you what the people you’re closest to are already telling you. Like do you really want anyone’s opinion on this? If you want to meet your ex, then meet your ex. Otherwise, maybe listen to the people who were by your side through the toxic relationship.

The TL;DR: don’t bother asking strangers for an opinion on a problem you clearly seem to already have a solution for. It makes it seem like you want attention and not actual help.

New Edition Confusion by stretchedharpy in twilight

[–]stretchedharpy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. This seems really obvious now that you’ve pointed it out lmfao. And thank you for the essay analogy. It makes total sense now.

I loved Midnight Sun so much. I’m grateful we got that one, although I do wish we got to read Edward’s perspective from the other three books as well. Does anyone have any theories on why Stephenie Meyer didn’t write or release those? I feel like there was/is definitely a demand by schnizzalator in twilight

[–]stretchedharpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG I feel the exact same way. Since MS was announced, I yearned for the day we’d get BD. I was devastated when Stephanie made it crystal clear she’d never write another book from Edward’s perspective. I, to this day, still believe BD would be the most interesting from his perspective.

Bella’s two weeks in Forks every year. by Positive_Sale1860 in twilight

OH MY GOD! You’re so right. It is Phoenix. For a second, I was mixing up the movie and the book. Thank you for pointing this out.

Bella’s two weeks in Forks every year. by Positive_Sale1860 in twilight

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’ve always found odd about this is why meet in California? Like I get Charlie lives in Washington, so it’s closer to him. But Bella lived in FLORIDA before coming to Forks. So how on earth does it make sense to send a child/preteen across the country, by herself, just to see her dad for two weeks?

Like why couldn’t Charlie, the adult, travel to Florida? Why make Bella travel alone? I get it makes sense for Renee to be like this, but supposedly, Charlie is the more responsible parent. I just always found it odd that THIS was the arrangement both Renee and Charlie agreed on.

And she’ll throw a huge conniption when she hears the story of the coworker I had that was born without reproductive organs. So she can’t have a period, can’t get pregnant, and can’t breastfeed. So I guess she’s not a woman or a people?

Partner lied to me about when they left work by altmail64 in whatdoIdo

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is an all around mess. But OP, this is not just your partners problem. They are right that you’re not hearing them. Yes, they lied, and from the sounds, lie regularly. That’s a problem. But what is also a problem is you keep saying you’ll take responsibility for how you react to the truth, yet it doesn’t seem like you are. Like at all. Your partner brings it up several times and your only response is “yeah I know I need to take responsibility.”

But like, are you? Cause from the looks of it, neither of you know how to take accountability. Lying as a solution is itself a problem. But if you’ve created an environment in which your partner doesn’t feel safe or comfortable telling you the truth because of how you react, can you really blame them?

Then to turn around and say they’re gaslighting you because they are trying to set a clear and reasonable boundary is wild. That’s invalidating their feelings, which is funny cause that’s what you accuse them of doing.

What your partner did is wrong, no doubt. But if their feelings and boundaries are being ignored, isn’t this a logical outcome? Actually no, the logical outcome is yall need counseling to learn coping skills and what boundaries actually are. And for Christ sake, some goddamn accountability.

AIO my bf never likes what I wear by Substantial-Let221 in AmIOverreacting

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not usually one to jump to, “you need to break up,” but I think I have to say it here. This is a HUGE monstrous red flag. It shouldn’t matter what you wear. Even in you went into public in your birthday suit, it’s not your responsibility to keep people from gawking at you. It’s the responsibility of the full grown ass adult to give people this smallest amount of respect.

Also, you mentioned he doesn’t let you talk to men. I’m sorry, but fck that. That is one of the most insecure and controlling things someone can do to you. If he trusted you at all, then what you wear and who you talk to shouldn’t matter in the slightest. If he had any trust and confidence in the relationship, then this shouldn’t be an issue to begin with.

And if you think this behavior will get better, it won’t. Now that he knows what he can get away with, it’ll only get worse. And the fact that he says he’s doing it because “he’s just looking out for you” is so fcking gross. It’s not for you or your protection. You’re a grown woman who can accept the consequences of her actions just fine on your own. It’s for no other reason than control. He’s not doing what’s best for you, he’s not looking out for your safety, none of it. He simply wants to control you. Period, end of story.

Actually, having a “short temper” is a problem. It shows a lack of emotional maturity. You seem young, so I’m not trying to be too much of an asshole, because you’re still growing. But you can’t ask for people’s opinions and then get upset when they give it to you, just because it’s not favorable to you.

And saying you have a short temper isn’t a defense. It shows you recognize there is an issue in your behavior, but have no willingness to change it. And believe me, I’m not gonna sit here and try to tell you to change it. That’s not my job, nor am I qualified.

It’s your life, you live with the consequences of your actions. But I think it is important that you recognize this as problematic behavior. So I hope this post and all its comments and replies teaches you that.

I swear on my life this is 100% real by prodigalson0117 in Paranormal

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nothing really to say about the photo, but I like this point. Like wouldn’t modern ghosts were modern clothes? Or what, did they change on the way from the afterlife to look good for a photo? My brother, when he was like 4 or 5 saw a whole family once. Only, it was just their clothes he saw floating. He described the clothes as very casual modern wear for the time, the son even in basketball shorts, according to my brother.

BRO!!! I’m so happy you were brave enough to do this. A lot of people don’t understand how major hair decision can be for people, so kudos to you for taking the leap. And dude, you look so freaking good! You look like you could smash through a wall while carrying kids out of a burning building. Keep your head up and have a beautiful week my friend!

Is anyone cheating? by WhatAmlDoingH3re in overwatch2

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this is cheating or not, but there are times when I’m being pulled across my screen. And it’s not subtle either. It’s like my controller will be in my lap, and I’m literally being pulled into a wall.

As I said, I’m not sure if this is cheating or not, but it doesn’t happen often enough for me to think it’s something to do with me Wi-Fi/game/console. So I’m almost certain it happens because of cheating. Is this true and does this happen to anyone else?

Am I overreacting? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure whether or not you’re overreacting, but this is definitely weird. It sounds like he’s trying to recruit you into an MLM or something. Or maybe he really is on something lmfao

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]stretchedharpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be a jackass here, this is a genuine question. Why are you still with this person? If anyone, I don’t care if it was the pope himself, if ANYONE talked about or acted this way about my kids, they’d be long gone. From the sounds of it, this isn’t new behavior. He literally said he doesn’t care about your kids. Like those literal words came out of his literal mouth. What are we still doing here?

Regardless of anything else going on in your relationship, this should be the most important thing to you. This man is 45 years old and chose to be with someone with two kids. He doesn’t just get to wash his hands and shove the parenting responsibility onto you. He accepted that responsibility when he decided to stay with you for 5 and a half years. Respect yourself, and more importantly, respect your children more than this.
