Planning your days might help? My thoughts here is simply that structure and routine may provide something to focus on, that might help you “push through” the negative thoughts. And if you have any support network, please reach out! I’m sure you’ll struggle with feeling guilty burdening your friends, but times like this are when you do need that support.

It wasn’t you! It was all him. I promise.

Yes.

Without posts, what’s the point of a forum?

At every fast food or restaurant job I’ve worked, we had to verify the freezers were between 0° and -10° F.

I broke my toe on a case of ramen noodles.

Umm. Yeah, you’re a monster for thinking it’s unnecessary.

Interesting. I appreciate the link.

Funny how the US numbers reported are only for a very specific circumstance - possibly taken from conviction rates for such crimes? But anyway, with no data on family/close friend kidnappings, that stat is basically useless isn’t it.

Nobody thinks my country has a history of way too many kidnappings, but America has the market cornered on propaganda.

I wanna say that mindset has no discernable effect on the number of crimes committed, at least when they reviewed the statistics years later. That’s what I heard anyway.

When I was still a kid, we went from bring a plate of cookies to your neighbor and introduce yourself to DON’T TALK TO STRANGERS!!

Wait until you watch Legend and see his teeth before he had work done.

Learned several forms of overtone singing.

If Kirk were an alien…

Oh, I’m not being serious at all, lol.

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a hallucinogenic native to that region. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I found it helpful to also disable this option for the YouTube app.

Good to know! I guess I should admit I’ve ditched windows entirely ever since I got a Steam Deck.

KDEConnect supports Windows.

Look into one of the FireTV devices, but make sure you get one that can be hacked. That way you get network connectivity, but you also get the ability to easily play pirated content as well.

I’d try to find a way to set the issue aside when possible, I guess. I don’t have to support every decision decision my children make, but nonetheless I can support them as individuals.

When it cubes down to it, I guess you gotta ask yourself if you value the relationship you have with your daughter. And let that inform your decisions as you learn to navigate the situation.

Ultimately, though, this isn’t about you, for better or worse. How it influences your own perspective and choices, though, depends a whole lot on the context, all those details the rest of us don’t know.

That’s a good question…

Oh. Wow. Really stupid. I’m so sorry
