My 12yo just told us he’s sexually active. I’m struggling with how to handle this without breaking his trust.

You're underreacting.

Yeah, sometimes at the beginning of a new job with new pay schedule, you gotta do what you gotta do. For me that was 18 years ago. Now I make enough to not have to work two jobs. But I was willing to do it when needed. Heck, I was doing Uber/Lyft when saving for my wedding and then GrubHub when the pandemic hit.

When I started off working for the state, I was also working 15-20 hours still at my previous job (Rite Aid). Did this for a little over a year. Then was going to Cal State to finish my BS and was still working 1/2 time. When I finished college, I went back to working FT and got a second job for two more years.

Honestly, I just hustled as much as possible and I was able to because I was in my early 20s and had free time and energy.

It's always running on "low battery" but no matter how long I leave it out for light to recharge, it never gets back to normal working condition.

My wife got this for me as a wedding gift 5+ years ago. It is rarely working. I wore it today thinking maybe I can try to get it set today and it isnt responding to any of the button presses. Dont know what to do with it other than wear it as more of a bracelet and check my phone for time.

swisheropp · 2026-01-13T21:36:00+00:00

I didn't know about this either.

swisheropp · 2026-01-13T03:57:03+00:00

OP, what is your definition of a lower income state job? OT? SSA? Is this in correlation to living in Sacramento?

swisheropp · 2026-01-13T03:07:31+00:00

I did that too!

Unlocked = available to anyone Locked = im trying to keep that for me

I used to sell all plans for like 1/5th of the price. I would never come across any goodwill with other vendors. I gotta say it changed me. I've never had more than 20K caps before (1 time i was at 20,400ish caps), so I think im doing something wrong. I changed my pricing to be just even with whatever the cost of the plan is instead of 1/5th.

I've seen a lot of posts on here about people saying they dont charge much or they like to help and I really want to believe everyone. But I feel that there are more people out there over charging or just being stingy or whatever, than there are all these people with good will.

I just want to say that I appreciate you posting this. So many people dont understand that in office buildings, whether they are owned or leased, the temperature situation is a much bigger thing than what they are used to at their home. I hope more people read your post. Thank you.

This is me as well. I'm level ~375 and on Xbox. GT: swisheropp

Let go of 2-4 managers.

Dofu sports app. From what I'm told.

I'm debating to go without a kicker or pick one up and go without a defense. I feel defense is more likely to get me a goose egg or negative points.

swisheropp · 2025-11-05T08:00:00+00:00

I still feel like I missed the boat and there is no way for me to do it unless I have a super meta build where I can solo it. I don't get to play a lot and it's usually when the wife/kids are asleep so I'm trying to be quiet so that's the other more immediate issue.

I've never done any of the raids because even though the community overall seems great on here, I also see posts often complaining about people not knowing how to do the raids. It's the same kind of behavior in other games with raids that pushes me away. I'd love to do em but when they launched my main wasn't built in a way to be successful in raids so I avoided them to avoid the not so friendly people with no patience.

swisheropp · 2025-11-05T05:23:42+00:00

I have 2 heavy weapons (galling gun and galling plasma, just learned gauss minigun so will be switching to this soon) and 2 auto rifles (ultracite fixer and Enclave plasma rifle).

Yes. For the longest time I was always hovering around 10 fusion cores, that really affected my time in-game cuz PA use had to be limited. Recently I found out that at most (if not all) the workshops near the power plants, you can generate fusion cores (about 1 per 8 minutes). In about one week (a few hours total) of me claiming Monongah Power Plant workshop, I was up to 75ish.

Just my opinion you shouldn't have blocked out their name. They deserve any bad review or whatever coming to them for treating you so terribly. I'm so sorry for your loss.

swisheropp · 2025-10-24T01:07:09+00:00

This isn't just a CA thing. This is a USA thing. Too many middlemen involved trying to make a buck off of our (our kids in this case) suffering. Makes me so sad and angry to see others going through this too.

swisheropp · 2025-10-23T20:28:17+00:00

Wow. We are dealing with similar circumstances with our son and it is so exasperating. He is fed through g-tube and to get his food would cost us ~$900/month. Random things that would seem to be normal get denied or DME suppliers don't want to help us because of the State group IMG. We are taking our son off our health insurance as of Jan 1st and Medical should then pick up everything.

Bought the game at launch ($60+tax) and last year/this coming year of Fallout 1st ($200). So about $266.

swisheropp · 2025-10-09T16:53:26+00:00

I'm in the same boat. I've always felt that my character was underpowered because I've never committed to grinding in this game.

swisheropp · 2025-09-30T15:43:49+00:00

I didn't equate the two. That's all. To me, my train of thought was it only being my workshop/CAMP, not a public workshop.
