  • When I was in middle school I began to have terrible GERD related symptoms and none of the doctors I saw back then ever gave me medicine to deal with it or the anxiety I was getting from it.

    It was so bad that even raising my heart rate would sometimes cause my stomach to pulsate in pain. My anxiety made it worse and I would sometimes get excused from gym class because I didn’t want to spend the rest of the day in agony.

    My gym teacher took this personally and gave me shit the whole time. He wouldn’t lose a chance to get back at me the whole year. Once I came into gym class with him yelling at me in front of the whole class for putting my clothing in the wrong locker & then getting pissed since he had to break my lock to get my stuff out of there. I knew for a fact it was my locker as he was the one who showed me it at the beginning of the year.

    I once had to miss school because I was at the doctor’s getting what I think was an X ray scan of my stomach. My gym coach was so pissed I wasn’t there that he started giving a whole speech to our class about “What the measures of a good man are” and kept giving me as context to them as what wasn’t a good man.

    Then there was when I had to quickly leave his class one day because I had to go to the bathroom from GERD related shit again. This got him so mad that he forced me to stay after class so that I had to run a mile by myself as he yelled at how bad I was doing when I started throwing up.

    I fucking hated that guy. I was dealing with so much misery by just trying to get through the days back then and had to deal with that antagonist prick who hated me when I was 12.





  • Yeah it was the moment when I realized Lies of P reminded me of playing Sekiro when I stopped lol. I’m just disappointed they make you have to parry. Not parrying lead to me getting combo locked during that first carnival boss so many times. Getting hit multiple times without being able to dodge or parry after the first hit was annoying.

    Heard that the game has a dodge/roll upgrade a bit farther into it but I just didn’t have it in me to deal with more of the parrying to get that far.

    Grateful the game was on gamepass so I was able to check it out before buying it. Hopefully my friend that’s 100% Sekiro will give it a try soon. He might enjoy the combat more than I did. He never dodged in bloodborne but instead stood still and just parry’d the bosses until it worked lol.

    I tried the game for a few hours but I just couldn’t get into it.

    Something about the dodge mechanic was not feeling right and I hated the overreliance on blocking/parrying. It’s the one mechanic I’ve hated in all soulsborne games and never used when beating the games.

    Also noticed how some enemies seem to have their attacks rubberbanded onto you even when you dodge.

    Realizing I would have to rely on the parrying for the whole games was what made me finally stop playing today. I just don’t find that fun or enjoyable.

    I’m hopeful that they can rework the dodge more, but that was also my hope from playing the demo too and I still don’t like it as it is now in the full game.




  • My sister was being sexually harassed online by a guy online for years. He would cyberstalk everything she did and she then tried to get the police to help after she couldn’t handle it anymore.

    The cop that came to our house blamed my sister for it. Told her she must have done something to get this guys attention even though she never met him or spoke to him before.

    I told another person I knew about the guy and she messaged him. The guy sent her a dick pic. She was 15.

    If you wanna watch a half hour documentary about how pathetic the guy is, then please watch this video with over 500k views about him. It’s crazy to think my sister called the cops on the guy over a decade ago and because of that one cop, the guy was able to so much bad he got half a million views online for it.

  • My hatred for CenturyLink is only 2nd to what Suddenlink put my family through. It took an FCC complaint against Suddenlink for them to come fix our phone lines/Internet/security system that were all down for a full month before they actually came to fix it. They had to actually reply to the FCC complaint within 10 days.

    I only made that complaint after a Suddenlink worker said that there wasn’t an outage like we had thought for the last 3 weeks. They then said the automated message that stated “your location has an outage” was fake and just what they were using to stop people from calling.

    We worked from home and had to rely on mobile hotspots. Was all during covid so it was even harder for going out to have a safe place to work.



  • The one I kept hearing during HS was the serial masturbator who looked like Harry Potter.

    Basically there was one kid who would constantly start jacking off during classes. Wouldn’t stop when told to stop.

    Was three grades below me so I was luckily never in the classes where it happened. So many people I know weren’t as lucky and saw it.

    I got no idea why the school allowed the kid to still be on the campus.

    School turned into an early college one after I started, so those kids were dealing with enough already to then deal with constantly seeing a kid jackoff in college level classes.
