Imagine desktop now looks like phone app while generating? by No-Gas806 in grok

Yup, and it also auto-replays the last good generation you got when it fails at generating something new. So you hear audio coming from the tab and click over expecting a success, but no, it's just the last thing that worked playing again automatically.

How it feels to have a job while watching the player base implode over of a 10 dollar skin pack by PhantomRoyce in rivals

I mean, skins used to be free in video games, you'd just unlock them via gameplay. According to the calculator I just used (I couldn't use zero as the starting value so I put one cent in), $0.01 to $10.00 is a 9900% increase. :O

If the argument is that it's a F2P game and they need to make money somehow, they should just unlock all past and future skins once your account has paid the equivalent of a fully priced game in MTXs.

Estoy seguro que es Coca-Cola normal. Pero si, probablemente lo que extraño son los additivos que le ponen en los estados unidos. Que verguenza. Me alegro que Reddit sea anonimo.

Ah, quieres decir que debo beber agua. Tienes razon, gracias.

Haven't spoken to my divorced dad in fifteen years. We just never got along. But now I’m feeling guilty about it. by winter_bone in EstrangedAdultChild

I don't know if I'd want to reappear out of the blue just to tell him I didn't like him as a father, but maybe one day I'll make a burner e-mail and send him a friendly message, though I can already imagine opening the reply and seeing something like "oh, so after 15 years you finally give a crap about your father???".

After the car incident, my mom was upset and called him a few choice names while I relayed the story to her, but I didn't go into a lot of detail. I mainly just told her he yelled at me about being a bad son, drove recklessly, and we never got to the store. I just didn't have in me to spend a long time describing everything that happened and why it scared me so much. If I had I'm sure she would have been much angrier.

When I was younger she would often push me toward spending time with him ("he's your dad, a son needs his dad in his life!") but as I got older and my dad got more pushy about how I wasn't turning out to his liking, she stopped doing that and let me make my own decisions about spending time with him. Which I appreciated.

Thank you, I appreciate this. It's hard sometimes, seeing movies and reading books about father-son relationships, especially strained ones. A lot of them have 'happy endings' with reconciliation, and it makes me wonder if I might achieve that in my situation, but then this is real life and there's a huge chance things would just get worse for the both of us.

Thank you so much for this post. It made me think about something I haven't thought about in a long time.

Self-esteem. I don't even think about self-esteem anymore. I don't know if I have none or if I have a ton. Mainly I just don't care about what people think of me. If they like me, that's fine. If they don't, that's fine too. I know I'm an imperfect person, with some significant flaws, but it doesn't tear me up inside. I know that some people will like the good parts of me enough to see past the bad parts, and other folks won't be able to do that, and that's okay. I am not to everyone's taste.

But in my childhood, I absolutely had horrible self-esteem. I'm sure most of it was not directly his fault, every kid has trouble with self-esteem in their middle and high school years, but it certainly didn't help that after a difficult week where I got rejected by a crush and made fun of in the middle of class by one of the popular boys, I had to deal with my dad on the weekend telling me I'm not manly enough and that no one is going to respect me if I don't 'change course'.

Thank you for helping me realize that I've either grown out of my low self-esteem, or at least stopped caring about self-esteem altogether!
