Sounds like projection to me.

I think you misunderstood me. A price disparity for the same item and insane financing schemes are both byproducts of capitalism, not byproducts of each other.
- Comment on Would you like to finance your hot chocolate with a loan set at 69% apr? 3 weeks ago:
What is displayed here is a price disparity for the same item. The top bar of the gif identifies this as a side effect of capitalism. The title is talking about insane financing schemes which are also perceived as a side effect of capitalism. That is how they are related, pretty sure OP is making a joke with the 69% reference. The whole mood says “capitalism bad”.

- Comment on If a criminal says a cop planted drugs or whatever on them why don't they ask for a finger print test? And vice versa a cop could also request it to clear up everything? 4 weeks ago:
Not true. In Japan you are often guilty until proven innocent—they can hold you for almost a month for an accusation alone.

We clearly went to different kinds of colleges.

But if it’s just about conquering an ordeal, then there should be more variety. I’d rather kill Madusa than sit through a 4 year degree.

Well, then, pro tip: take an allergy pill, it will keep you from itching too much on your first go.

I see now, I missed that qualifier.
If anyone out there is considering heroin, I’d highly recommend giving it a pass. It makes you feel fearless (William Burroughs called it being the “de-anxietized man”), but it also removes all feelings of remorse and regret, until you inevitably become an insufferable asshole. The addiction creeps in slowly, so you don’t feel it for weeks or months, and then one day, you can’t wake up without it.
If you think this story won’t be you, think again. I once thought the same. I’ve been clean now for 15 years, but it still lurks in my mind sometimes.
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 1 month ago:
You sound like you’ve never experienced heroin withdrawal before. Sick is an understatement. It’s more like legs thrashing, everything hurts, you are simultaneously hungry and not hungry, puking, crying…every negative feeling wrapped into one, and the entire time you have the knowledge that one more fix would take it away instantly. That week feels like a year, and everything gets reduced to a second by second basis.
I’ll take my “being bummed I don’t have weed” psychological addiction any day.

I hear so many opportunities in there. He likes painting, you like woodworking, make wood panels to paint and design the ideas together—you could even paint them while camping and drawing inspiration from what you see. You like gardening, he likes cooking, collaborate on home grown meals together. Hell, you can even design an elaborate garden in the Sims.
There are opportunities to step into each others world and see what fits, but you have to step into his just as much as he steps into yours.

Honestly, from the large list of things you mentioned he likes that you struggle with, and you saying that it would be easy for you to connect with Counter Strike even though other games are on his list, I’m wondering if you are emotionally cut off from your sensitive and creative side. That would definitely make a sensitive and creative kid feel a little lost around you.
Ever been in therapy?

You’re telling me you can’t appreciate art, eating food your son has made, or playing a simple game like the Sims or Minecraft? What do you like then?
And if he’s like his mother, how do you get along with her?

You’re telling me. It’s ok though. Now I have nothing to lose, so I can start over exactly how I want to.

Bruh, that is only the start. Let’s just say I lost her and my best friend of 20 years at the same time. I’m sure you can fill in the blanks.

- Comment on Can being othered and isolated from society stunt growth? 1 month ago:
You keep asking these kinds of questions, seemingly looking for proof that your life is ruined. No one event or period of time defines a whole person. Some of the most accomplished and exemplary people have experienced years of severe hardship and some point.
Maybe look towards making a clean break and creating a new future rather than finding reasons to convince yourself that the past will haunt you for eternity. It doesn’t have to.
- Comment on Anon hates Apple 1 month ago:
Can confirm for America too—I worked there also and saw the same. There are moisture indicators inside the device that the phone owner can’t see, and if those are triggered, then it could have done microscopic damage to the internal components. If Apple fixes it and it dies a week later from water damage, the customer will blame Apple, so they choose to replace the unit when they see the indicators have been triggered.
“Missing parts” is not a likely phrase they would have ever used.

- Comment on Need those unit conversions 2 months ago:
The struggle was real, and there was a lot of variance in prices back then. $30 was in Denton, Texas where they knew they had a captive audience. It was cheaper in Dallas, and much cheaper in Austin.
As they say in real estate, “location, location, location!”
For what it’s worth, I didn’t pay that price very often—I’m no rube, lol.
