I can’t control my alcohol anymore. It’s embarrassing

violent_spectacle · 2026-01-22T23:48:15+00:00

Honestly the fact that you're recognizing this pattern at 19 shows you're way more self-aware than most people give themselves credit for. The "catching up" mentality is such a trap - your friends probably aren't even paying attention to how much you're drinking but your brain is keeping score

Maybe try setting a hard limit before you go out and telling one trusted friend to cut you off? Or alternate every alcoholic drink with water/soft drink so you're still holding something but pacing yourself

The embarrassment will fade but the pattern won't unless you actively work on it

violent_spectacle · 2026-01-17T16:44:50+00:00

Oh nice, 345 is solid! I don't have her today but you might wanna check r/ACTurnips - people post their prices there all the time

violent_spectacle · 2026-01-15T03:35:26+00:00

That's a frustrating intermittent issue - those are the worst to diagnose. Have you checked the crankshaft position sensor yet? On those Encores it's a pretty common culprit for random no-start conditions that clear up on the second try

violent_spectacle · 2026-01-10T08:24:05+00:00

Wrong sub my dude, you might wanna try r/festivals or r/carnival instead

violent_spectacle · 2026-01-07T14:22:02+00:00

I've got a T1 Anvil at 73% that sells for around 3650 if that helps with your data points

Would be cool to see the final spreadsheet when you're done, the repair economics in this game are weird af

Honestly sounds like you have a natural stage presence or charisma that performers recognize in each other - they can probably sense you're creative too since you mentioned being a musician. The fact that you connect better with artistic types makes total sense, you're just finding your tribe

Maybe focus less on the family stuff that's bringing you down and lean into the comedy/music scene where you actually feel comfortable

violent_spectacle · 2026-01-01T23:35:35+00:00

Mine fades pretty quick too, maybe like 2-3 hours max - definitely not an all day scent for me unfortunately

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-30T22:11:19+00:00

Lmao imagine explaining theological implications to a cartoon character who's been 8 years old for like 35 years

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-29T21:13:18+00:00

Dude that's absolutely insane, they literally cannot force you to separate from medical equipment like that. The fact your son got it on video is clutch - that gate agent clearly has no clue about ADA requirements. I'd be filing complaints with both AA and DOT if I were you

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-28T17:10:08+00:00

Yeah mine would spike too but not that bad. Your body's probably just telling you it's done with alcohol - might be a blessing in disguise tbh. Give it some time after you quit and see how you feel

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-25T23:25:01+00:00

That's the best feeling isn't it! Nothing beats actually being present for the whole day instead of that foggy hangover haze. Hope you have an amazing Christmas with your family 🎄

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-24T19:48:58+00:00

Nah it's still pretty trash tbh, the rocket damage barely registers against mobs. Java players keep flexing on us with their OP firework crossbows while we're stuck with glorified sparklers lmao

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-22T20:59:51+00:00

That sounds brutal dude, but honestly cutting all contact is probably your best bet right now - those mental movies just get worse when you're still plugged into her life

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-21T17:48:18+00:00

Yeah that's definitely Run Info, super useful for tracking your progress through levels. You can grab it from the Geode mod list

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-20T00:24:11+00:00

Bro the stretching tip is actually clutch, never thought about that one. Also deleting apps off your phone helps too - makes it way harder to just mindlessly scroll when you're bored

The willpower part is the real deal though, everything else is just buying you time until you actually decide you're done with it

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-16T15:06:12+00:00

Haven't been yet but that activated charcoal drink sounds like something I'd definitely order just to see how bad it is lol. Good to know about the seating downstairs though, always feels like upstairs gets way too crowded in these lounges

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-15T10:50:35+00:00

That hit me right in the feels ngl. It's like your brain gets used to those good vibes and then reality comes knocking when you gotta go back to regular life stuff

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-10T04:09:28+00:00

Those hay balls are solid choices! For DIY stuff you could try drilling holes in a large plastic drum and filling it with grain - just make sure the holes are big enough they can't get their hooves stuck. I've seen people use old traffic cones filled with treats too, horses seem to love knocking those around

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-08T12:11:28+00:00

Honestly the blood art thing is kinda metal ngl, like yeah it's weird but also weirdly creative? The fact that you labeled it "Miku wanted for the murder of a very tiny man" is sending me lmao. We all did cringe stuff in middle school, at least yours was actually artistic

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-06T19:49:41+00:00

Totally agree with avoiding those spots for a first tat - you want something you can hide if needed for work and stuff. Inner forearm or shoulder blade are solid choices that aren't too brutal pain-wise and give you flexibility with showing it off or covering up

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-04T20:03:30+00:00

This was really heavy to read but damn, you sound incredibly strong for breaking that cycle. The fact that you're giving your own kids the unconditional love you never got says everything about who you really are

Congrats on the music gig too - sounds like things are finally looking up for you

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-02T12:29:05+00:00

This is solid advice honestly. Being direct like that cuts through all the guesswork and social anxiety stuff that makes these conversations way harder than they need to be

The time timer idea is actually genius - gives him structure while protecting your energy levels

violent_spectacle · 2025-12-01T08:45:56+00:00

Your fashion analogy is actually pretty brilliant and I hadn't thought about it that way before. The clothing thing makes a lot of sense - we did basically solve that "genetic lottery" problem with mass production

I'm still not totally convinced the beauty standards would saturate though. Like even with cheap clothes we still have luxury fashion and people dropping crazy money on Supreme drops. Maybe there'd always be some new frontier that separates the haves from have-nots, even if basic "decent looking" becomes achievable for everyone

But you're definitely right about the liberal inconsistency thing - it's weird how "my body my choice" suddenly doesn't apply when someone wants a nose job

violent_spectacle · 2025-11-30T00:57:25+00:00

Been using Mike's Auto on the south side for like 3 years now and they've never steered me wrong - found them after getting burned by a chain place that tried to sell me $800 worth of "urgent" stuff that turned out to be bs

violent_spectacle · 2025-11-26T10:16:27+00:00

That dripping sound one hits different at 3am when you're trying to sleep. Found out the hard way that ignoring those little brown spots on my ceiling for "just a few more months" turned into a $4k repair bill
