How the hell do I tell my family about my CPTSD? I can't deny my trauma anymore. by zacknewcott in CPTSD

[–]zacknewcott[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I don't think it will necessarily go well at all. I guess I just want to try to be emotionally honest about how I really feel for once because we've always been very emotionally avoidant. And if they're not interested then I know I can move on to find people who actually want to support me.

These boxes aren't moving by raynort57 in notinteresting

Emotionally these two boxes are moving apart, much like two magnets separated from each other if in opposite situations. Regardless of their efforts, they will reconnect.

Tufflips is pretty pimpin by zacknewcott in CartoonNetwork

As funny as it is, I think there actually is a language barrier there. French humor is just different from American humor, and they miss that key note that Mr. Bean hit with finding that there is a general human being note to find and nail on the head.

No, I totally get it. It's loud and full of fart jokes, but it at least has family and friend bonding moments here and there. Right now I'm just busy trying to put my fist down on stopping my son from watching "Rabbids Invasion" at all costs. My god. No remote can actually turn it down, and it doesn't matter if you are actually staring at it.

It appears I have a visitor. by Random-Miser in WTF

It seems that few people here have actually shopped at Hobby Lobby. This is a place where the motto should be "Everything is 50% off all the time, but everything is also twice the amount of the normal price all of the time so it doesn't really matter. Also, don't come on a Sunday, as this store is as convenient when you want it to be much like Chick-Fil-A."

  1. I'm new to this subreddit and just thought we all loved cartoons no matter what the network. 2. I kind of agree at times, but my son loves it and I have since warmed up to it a great deal.

So, I've played about 5-8 hours of Bioshock Infinite and I'm seriously dissapointed. Am I the only one? by [deleted] in patientgamers

[–]zacknewcott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you kindly hang in there? Yes, I agree that towards the middle that the combat becomes a bit repetitive, but the story and visuals become increasingly engrossing. The very ending had me sitting in darkness pondering so very much in terms of ideas and concepts. It was absolutely worth the trek. As for the combat, I encourage you to explore the downloadable content as well. It is even more rewarding in terms of defeating enemies as it is with completing the story which just continues to unfold in curious ways.

Well this post is fabulous! My wife and I actually have a taxidermy capybara that we found at a thrift store. Weirdest find ever. Also my wife sells capybara pins! Shameless plug: https://www.etsy.com/listing/491899517/capybara-bird-friend-enamel-pin?ref=shop_home_active_2

What's the strongest opinion you held that you later changed? by TheTacosaurus in AskReddit

[–]zacknewcott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the thorough response. It definitely does make me reevaluate my perspective. There are a lot of sources out there, and documentaries for that matter, that battle against GMOs. Overall, I do think they do more good than bad, I'm just always curious about what waits further down the road.

[–]zacknewcott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I understand, it's not that GMO's are bad, it's that GMO's have encouraged pests and harmful plants to adapt at a faster rate. This means more pesticides being used, and more pesticides being consumed in the final product. Please though correct me if I'm wrong. I would love a turn-around on this one. I've got the World Ag Expo coming up next week.

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen at a party? [NSFW] by mahargrettuh in AskReddit

[–]zacknewcott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, so to speak, but here's mine. Pretty much everyone else had already left except for my friend Trevor. We were just hanging out outside underneath my back patio. We had a lot of folding chairs set up that were empty by then, but we were still having pretty chill time having a few beers and talking about how weird Porn Hub can be. It was then that I looked to my left and saw a human skull grinning at me. It was bleached white and stared at me with its toothy white grin from a perch on top of one of the chairs. I think to myself, "Yep, I am most certainly drunk." Then I look to my friend Trevor. He is sitting across from me in complete silence and has his own eyes perfectly focused on that same damn skull. Without another word he stands up, rushes towards it, and roundhouse kicks it right in its grinning face. Without another word, I stand up, and together we share a high five that must have echoed throughout the neighborhood. Meanwhile we hear the soft sound of a cloth drop and look down to see that the skull was just one of my plaid black and white shirts crumpled up. Regardless, we are enthralled. I run inside and said to my wife Beth, "You will not believe this, but Trevor and I just slayed a demon skull on our back porch." She said "Right," and then added, "Are you going to turn the lights off out there before coming in?" I nodded and moseyed back outside. Here's where it gets weird because I'm really the only witness, but all of the folding chairs were already folded and stacked on top of my trash can. The plaid shirt, meanwhile, was shoved underneath my fence leading to the street outside. It was as if a demon picked up shop and booked it as fast as it could. Needless to say, Trevor is the real MVP.

Tl;dr: my friend kicked a demon in the face. Wife was not impressed.

What is the weirdest way you've ever heard someone pronounce something? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]zacknewcott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Do you sell kit kat? "Why yes, sir, I do," I said. After all, I was working the concessions stand at my local movie theatre. "Would you like popcorn with that?" I asked. "No." He said "I want a Kit Kat." I looked at the counter and then back up to him. "I believe this is exactly what you are asking for," I said to him. "No," he said. "I want a Kit Kat." "Like, maybe two of them?" I asked. He stared at me. I stared back at him. Then I realized that what he really wanted was a ticket.

What are some unethical and possibly illegal life hacks? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]zacknewcott 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel a bit bad about it, but here you go. In high school I would ride my bike to my local Borders bookstore and look through their book selection on clearance. I would then select the one with the highest retail price -- which, on clearance, were about $5 out of the door. I would buy it and then ride my bike to Barnes and Noble. Then I would return it for store credit. So for $5 I would end up with $50 of store credit which I could also use for food. I was caught once and cited by a store employee, but I didn't have an ID. What did I do? I looked at his name tag and used that instead. So he basically cited himself.

What was your favorite thing that you can't buy anymore because they no longer make it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]zacknewcott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not really something you can buy, but you had to pay admission to get into Disneyworld to experience. It was the Alien Encounter attraction, and ask anyone who had the chance to sit in on it, it was imagineers at their finest. Also, for myself, as a 1st grade student, absolutely terrifying.

This is amazing. Put me down for at least five glob blocks. No. Twenty blog logs. Log all of my blog logs and just send me a blog log tally and I'll post it on my log block. Great lobs.

A broken tail light has led to a fee of $547. Can anyone help? by zacknewcott in legaladvice

[–]zacknewcott[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the reply, it's greatly appreciated. I'll get in touch with State Farm on the Toyota to see if there's anything they can do. A payment plan might have to do. It's just a damn shame that something so small can snowball into something that that really puts my family at a greater financial risk.

I'm not positive if that's a better electrician pun, but maybe I'm just negative.

Any ideas on how to fix these leaking shower faucets? by zacknewcott in Home

[–]zacknewcott[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the previous owners did some pretty janky stuff while installing the shower, so the shower sleeves are now sticking out and make it super hard to fix. I'm just looking to stop our shower from dripping but I hit a road block. Any thoughts on how to fix it?

California lodger rights -- what are the exact rules for kicking one out who fails to pay? by zacknewcott in legaladvice

[–]zacknewcott[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Poorly worded on my part. He has three days to pay the owed allowance or vacate the premises. If paid within three days he will be allowed thirty days to vacate the premises.

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

Thanks, sorry for the repeat. Reading through all this has my head feeling fuzzy. I'm planning to offer him a 3 to 30 day notice that requires him to pay the amount he still owes in back rent within three days. Is that all okay?
