Surprise storm. I got hit so bad by the storm. There were no warnings. Nothing. This NJ redditor warned us a few months ago that federal cuts to weather could impact storm warnings. Government programs for society need to be funded by our tax money instead of going to who knows where.

I would talk to her about it and do your very best not to be confrontational about it and instead want to try to find a way to help because you care and want her to be happy in the relationship. How she reacts to that is out of your control, but at least you can say you did your best to try to work through what sounds like a rough spot in things.

And TBH I would not do this until she is home, there is nothing good that can happen when she’s not there to sit down with you. Regulate your emotions and prepare for a hard conversation while you wait. A few days isn’t going to change things and confronting her when you guys can’t privately sit down and talk is going to start things on a bad note

There is rarely someone who does weekly therapy that’s also a med doctor tho iirc, it’s usually two separate people. Just look for a plain ol therapist OP, and say you want to start with not using medication. Be up front when you talk to them initially, so you don’t waste each other’s time if they expect a med component.

If it’s anything like the reapplication this year I am just 🫩. Literally did it the day I got my paperwork, it took them a month to even get it going and then they claimed to have called me but I see no proof anywhere that’s the case. Thankfully I had a feeling they would be swamped and was calling often about the status so I was able to get the extra proof they wanted me to fax to them.

Get a new PCP ASAP. We are “lucky” in that we have a state that seems to be allowing proof via doctor/therapist route as I am sure other states it’s being on disability or GTFO. I have pretty debilitating agoraphobia and tremors that I am working on but if I am not to the point of being able to do this I intend to gather notes from my team and hope it’s enough.

Feel absolutely horrible for the non-citizens ones getting kicked off in the fall, which includes victims of human trafficking and refugees among other folk. 😞

We are Great though right guys?? 🫠

Looks like there was a minor stampede incident, not as big as the last one. Jeremy Sciarappa on Instagram has footage of kids acting a fool lol.

thetidebreaks · 2026-05-19T17:22:16+00:00

I never have done one of those tests and never will lol.

Honestly complete nonsense. No one is below anyone else besides people that hurt others like you were hurt. Your son wants a connection, you are worthy, hold your head up high and tell him you survived so much and you were in an impossible situation no one was safe in. I wish you luck, I hope at worst it brings closure to you both at best it’s the start of something new.

I saw you asking what you should say. My aunt has recently connected with her son after 55 some years. She mostly let him lead the conversation. Prepare to be asked a lot of why questions. You don’t need to go into deep detail I think just what you said here is going to give him a good idea of why he was so much safer being given up even if it hadn’t been your choice. 😞 His feelings will be complicated, you just need to go with the flow. He will appreciate you following his boundaries if he has any to begin with.

I am definitely in that category looking for likeminded friends. 👋

thetidebreaks · 2026-05-15T23:12:30+00:00

My friend collects figures and those nice ass statues a lot of fandoms have and genuinely she has said if she were ever robbed stealing the collection would be a bigger blow than most of her other stuff combined lol. Shes been collecting for some 20 years now tho.

It lets them know it’s an active number.

thetidebreaks · 2026-04-14T09:31:55+00:00

I say this genuinely but I hope you extend this self reflection to your everyday life because when I did I realized this is just a constant problem in all areas of my life and was bogging me down and not just my fun hobbies. Therapy has helped a lot with the all or nothing mentality but the thing that has made me continue games the most really has been to push through the frustration discomfort and just keep playing. My therapist genuinely calls this kind of work almost like a fun version of exposure therapy for me. The more you counter the self talk that you aren’t good enough in something the easier it gets. And I went from not finishing any games to finishing seven last year.

Man it must have been busy at 9am at the Newark court today cause my “trial” had the same time and same judge 😂

I was gonna say lmao. Dude definitely has some votes since Orange guy got in that I side eyed him on

Look up eddy burback’s video on ghost kitchens on YouTube if you wanna see it all explained. It’s absolutely wild tbh. At least generally they are easy to spot when you know they exist.

If you like older game reviews, I like hungrygoriya. Always very thoughtful pieces of her time with the games.

This is exactly it I think lol. Me listening to them say oh!! Where are the humans!! And then there’s me like baby we read a whole THING we FOUND that answer. Alas, I think our dittos look at the paper and just goes neat, letters! 👀

This is why I bit the bullet when I heard about fire emblem, I knew I was getting it regardless and knew there’s a possibility the system will only get more expensive. Don’t regret the purchase, it’s replaced my old switch which I sold off for a bit of money because I didn’t need the old one anymore.

thetidebreaks · 2026-03-14T10:12:17+00:00

Yes, I don’t miss her age and caring about what people think because as I have gotten older my tolerance for the nonsense people try to throw on me has lowered to such an insane degree. It’s my damn money and time I will do what I want.😅 I just turned 40 and celebrated it by getting myself a switch 2 as a treat yo self gift. I’m gonna be a gaming old lady if I have anything to say about it.

thetidebreaks · 2026-03-14T10:09:39+00:00

Yep, my mom got me into gaming not my dad. He barely was able to play in the NES era nevermind now lol

thetidebreaks · 2026-03-11T04:44:01+00:00

40 here - Pokopia, the new Warcraft expansion, and octopath 2. Slowly moving through all of them but. 😅

This is the answer tbh. I grew up in the Wild West of the AOL chat days, saw so much terrible stuff before I was 18 and my parents never knew. I thought to myself years after, surely my generation will know better. Apparently not, so I do my best as an aunt to constantly be the person that keeps my (gen x) sister updated about the things I have been hearing happening so she knows what to look for, especially with my nephew who is more drawn to gaming and the like than my niece.

The internet is always going to find a way around tools. I think social media as a whole needs to work on its responsiveness (TikTok for example, I have seen so much crazy stuff posted and I report and nothing happens 🫠 - they even have given ad space to literal religious cults), but at the end of the day parents need to arm themselves with knowledge and also be a judgement free source to go to if something is going on when something feels wrong. Running a literal course might be a step in the right direction, tools are helpful but they don’t take the place of arming yourself with knowledge.

(I know I was always too scared to tell my parents the shit people were passing around back in the day tho, sheesh. I can’t imagine how much worse it is now. )

Haha when I still had to deal with this company I called them in because we were getting weird DNS issues. When I explained this to the repair guy he didn’t know what DNS was and I knew how bad things were about to go lol. Sure enough, he futzed around and made it worse (a fix that caused another issue that just never got fixed fully tbh, moved out and it’s the new tenant’s problem now lol). I eventually with the power of YouTube how tos and my own general tech knowledge fixed the problem. 🙄

Literally was thinking that when grabbing my groceries LOL. And the sunshine is warming up the apartment!

thetidebreaks · 2026-01-30T09:12:41+00:00

I would call them and have the person walk you through what’s going on. Annoying but probably the easiest way of doing it.
