2024.05.14 09:12 Mickey_thicky Water under the bridge is now apparently no longer under the bridge, as YouTuber Nerd City rampages through a one month old post over on r/ youtubedrama. Somebody brings this to the attention of the subreddit, consequently summoning Nerd City and his desire to respond to *every* comment he can.

Here is the original post. Rather innocuous, it details a video Nerd City had made regarding the recent SSSniperwolf drama.
The OP OP started this chain of events by asking about the lore behind Nerd City, and why there is some animosity towards his channel.
Commentor 1: "I'm a bit out of the loop on Nerd City, what exactly did he do?"
Commentor 2: "All I'm familiar with is he got really into NFTs. He made a whole video talking about this huge NFT scam and how these guys were manipulating gullible people into buying low quality worthless crap, and then he ended it with, "And that's why you should all buy my NFT's, which are actually good because I'm definitely not scamming you."
Little did we know, this comment here had started a ticking time bomb. As if a Humvee driving through the deserts of the Arabian peninsula, unaware of what lurks beneath the sand, Nerd City stumbles upon this landmine of a comment 36 days later, and chaos ensues.
Nerd City: "Do you struggle with nuance in every subject, it's all just binary to you? What about genders, I bet you understand this spectrum, no?"
Completely incredulous to the fact that someone would reply to a pot 35 days stale, commentor 2 shares this embarrassing ordeal with youtubedrama. Now, everyone, grab your popcorn.
Some people can't even believe the entire ordeal is real
Link the post. Please. If this is real, genuinely sad to see. If you're reading this define Marxism genuinely wanna know what you're gonna say lmao
Its him. Doctor Downvote is an alias of his according to a Youtuber wiki. Link is here. Probably best not to poke the bear.
Oh, never. I'm more an observer type. But if he replied to a post that old, there's a non-zero chance he's searching for posts about himself specifically.
To say the bear had been poked would be an understatement. It seemed as if this bear had been stabbed. As if his name had been repeated three times in the dark, in front of a mirror, Nerd City is summoned to this comment section where he begins arguing with a subreddit of individuals seemingly genetically predisposed to suffer from a disliking of Nerd City.
While managing to call the entirety of the subreddit's inhabitants coordinating liars while simultaneously rejecting the claim that he is actively looking for content about him to complain about, Nerd City enters the playing field with this comment.
searched for a tweet about GoT I made and found this club of coordinating liars. I treat people how they treat me. If you’re respectful, I’m respectful back.
Some can't even believe what's happening and even concerned, and others are quite entertained
It genuinely is unhealthy behavior to respond to so many Reddit comments that are this old. Like, it suggests a deep seated issue when you lash out so aggressively at criticism like this. It lowkey makes me worried for your mental health if you’re this upset that ppl in a community disagree with you on something. I’d hate to see what happens if someone irl disagrees with you
Damn I just lost respect for you
Imagine being the guy who systematically destroyed Paul’s nft scam, and then just making your own. Gotta edge out the market, eh?
What kind of weird type of masochism is this? Too kinky for me bro
OP and friends speculate that Nerd City's erratic behavior may be due to unfortunate circumstances in his life.
I kinda don’t want people to argue with him, he might be going through a rough spot and I don’t want to poke the bear more than I already have. Now if he comes to this post and bitches, that’s just his fault, it’s fair game.
Yeah I can’t imagine this person is doing too hot in the other areas of their life if this is how they’re spending their time. Happy fulfilled people don’t do that. At least I’ve been told lol. Edit: oh I just realized that’s actually nerd city and not just some guy. I’d say my point stands even more in that case, I don’t know much about nerd city but no big YouTuber would be doing this shit if they weren’t like actively losing their mind.
He’s got a hot wife who helps him clown on instagram girls, you’d think he’d be living the dream life.
Does she come braless to give him sandwiches (not asked for) with chips as he gets a double kill bot lane tho?
The Bear responds to these accusations not with denial, but with a valiant effort to stand up for himself.
That’s true, but can’t I also defend myself against a mob of fibbers and jerks? I always punched back, this is normal for me when I’m active online.
OP responds by proposing an unheard of solution
Have you considered logging off?
One user speculates that Nerd City might delete his account following these recent events, to which he replies:
I’m not saying anything I would need to hide or delete. I’m on main and reading Reddit notifs while simmering at about 3/10 Annoyed. I’m not happy to read lies, and clapping back when people lie has become underrated IMO
Insane behavior is thinking you can lie in a public forum with other cowardly people tittering word salad exaggerations and not be held accountable. These threads are big enough now that I’ll keep coming and kicking your asses like my enemies until one of your mods starts censoring me.
In what appears to be one of the only comments featuring meaningful insight, there is to nobody's surprise no response from Nerd City
You put all your eggs in a hollow basket. You wanted the profits that came with branding/merchandising without any of the products for consumers; which sucks cause you clearly are someone who cares about their art and presentation with your upload frequency and quality of content. Sucks that it came at the cost of your sanity and creativity. You spent a year on some discount pop-art fit for 3.5g bags, on a quick bag that was late to the party.
When one commentor asks why Nerd City is in the comment section, he promptly responds with an answer.
I’m letting the liars know I found their little liar’s club. Holding it accountable, one might say\
One lone person attempts to stand up for Nerd City, upon which he immediately expresses gratitude
Why do people give nerd so much flack for the nft stuff, on the tbh podcast he seemed really genuine about the whole thing and said that it wasn’t a scam or anything they even had coffezila one an episode which would seem really stupid if nerd was actually scamming people
Thank you. Finally, a single brave person stands up and spits some facts.
The rest of the comment section legitimately just consists of back and forth discourse between Nerd City and other commentors that is basically just identical to what has already been displayed.
Potential flairs !!

2024.05.14 07:52 Clarkelthekat DGG I'm officially 9 years clean off heroin.

9 years ago I went to a faith based rehab as an atheist to "fake it until I make it" because it was cheap.
Ended up being a cult that was run by previous patients. Meaning no one ever left. They kept our identification so anyone from out of state couldn't leave.
Long story short they used us as free labor for local contractors. A sheriff was directing traffic while we were doing road work.
I ran over to him. In one huge breathe I got as much Information about the awful bed bug ridden revolving door forced labor cult and facilities we were forced to live in before the senior(snitch) team leader made it to us. That our food was expired years ago but frozen and thawed the day before we would be served it.
Yogurts expired before 9/11.
He told me be calm and go back. I thought he wasnt going to help. That he was part of it somehow. I was there for 6 months at that point with very controlled and little contact with family.
The next morning at 4 am I woke up to a loudspeaker and dogs barking. We walked out of our room(one room slept 15 people shoulder to shoulder) and all of the "staff" was on their stomachs. We were lead to ambulances and taken to the hospital.
That sheriff still calls me everyday to make sure I made it through another day clean.
When I first called my family they didn't believe me. The sheriff had to go on a webcam with my mom to convince them to let me come home.
This was my fault for being an addict and conditioning them to not believe me. I understood and made promises to immediately go into a secular rehab when I got home.
I did. I have been clean ever since. I celebrate today with my wife, my son and my newborn.
Tomorrow is the anniversary of my mom's death 6 years ago. She got to see me celebrate 3 years clean before she died. It's a bittersweet month. The last thing she ever said to me was that she could trust me again.
I'm thinking about writing in detail the full account of that 6 months I spent there.
Does DGG think it's worth the time writing a book about? There's hundreds of these "rehabs"(cults) around the country. Maybe thousands.

2024.05.14 05:42 Recent-Ambition-3922 Does it really get better? (Grief)

Apologies in advance as this is all over the place but I really need help.
Im 19f and lost my mother to mental illness when i was 15 and things just seem to continue to get worse. For context my parents have been divorced since around 2010, my father is a narcissist and the complete opposite of my mother. My mom was my best friend and her passing was a shock but in hindsight a long time coming i have never been the same since she passed. Living with my father and his wife was really hard for me as his wife would verbally abuse me and got physical (once i was finally 18) and i got kicked out months after turning 18 for not being able to take care of myself properly (dirty room and more). Since her passing ive cycled through friends, had a seizure which concussed me my senior year and the last couple months of school were a complete haze for me, and I now am struggling severely living entirely alone besides my two dogs. In the four years since shes passed ive been on antidepressants, ive been in therapy even since before she passed, i have a stable job, and ive been in a stable relationship with my partner since 2022. None of it seems to make me any better than i was the day she passed. If I think about her too much i start to fall apart, if i listen to a song that reminds me of her i cry uncontrollably, looking at pictures, etc. Im extremely extroverted and need people to be with and spend time with but again I live alone and my partner is a busy person (she is also the only person apart of my support system). I have no family thats local (closest is my 96yr gpa an hour away who wouldnt be able to help me even if he wanted to imo) besides my stepdad who cant remember much and i dont feel comfortable discussing it with him, and ofc my father and his wife which is a no go. My therapist who like i said ive been seeing before my mom passed (she never met her) told me i no longer need therapy as much. Im at a loss because i feel myself falling apart and getting into really bad habits (not drug or alcohol related) and I need help on how to get through this grief. I still think i’ll see her if I go back home, or i’ll see her randomly walking around, that she’ll find me one day; Im in extreme denial. No one that I know has gone through similar circumstances so those who have been through it id really appreciate any words of advice, habits, etc, that have helped you.

2024.05.14 05:41 JPW6 Why is this 21 y/o crisis happening? Is everything over?

Hi! I turned 21 last week and since then I my mind is stuck in the thought that my life is pretty much over and now I'm supposed to work, and soon have a wife and kids and all of a sudden I end up not doing anything that I ever wanted to do.
Just for some context: My senior year in high school and freshmen in college were online (due to covid). This is my last year in college, I'm not really a party guy, but I'm scared that once I graduate I'm going to lose all the possibilities of ever having fun. All my friends think that the good times are long gone and all thats left to do is work and have kids and die.
I'm scared.
Everyone says that time moves way faster when you are older, and I don't want to feel my time running out. This literally is stuck in my head for a few days now and I can't even study for my finals next week.
Did any of you go through this? If so, how did you manage? Is everything over?
(6th time posting this ffs - bro this bot is so strict wtf i cant think of a title that it allows)

2024.05.14 05:39 unkn0wn7777 I need help quitting my problem with masturbaition

I started it when I was 14 during puberty. I eventually started rubbing off to porn later on during freshmen year of high school. I did that on a weekly basis and then during summer when I was 15, it got bad and started rubbing off (with porn) on a daily basis of around 3 times a day since I was alone at home in my room a lot while my friends were busy. Slowed down when sophomore year came but when Covid hit that year, I fell back into that hole. Once school came back and stated to socialize again, it kinda got better but it still was a daily thing essentially. Things happened senior year in my life that kinda made me stop doing it as much, but I still watched porn nonetheless and rubbing off to it. I graduated high school, moved across the country for a new life, and started pursuing my dreams while having a part time job. And I kept rubbing off to porn until Christmas when I was 19 when I decided after that, after seeing the effects it was having on me (and knowing the Dark stuff behind the porn industry), I didn't want to watch it again.
And from then on, I started jacking off to my imagination, and in moderation this time. But I still wanted to quit my sexual addiction nonetheless since I found something in my life that made me want to quit all that stuff.
And here we are today, where I'm 20. I recently grew a closer relationship to God in the past few months. And despite that, I keep on relapsing to jacking off since all that porn I watched for 5 years desensitized me to a lot of the extreme categories. The more I watched porn, the more deeper, dirtier, and disgusting things entered my brain and pleasure with porn. And that's what causing me a problem since the imagination that I use to jack off to was created by porn and the rabbit hole it took me down.
Every time I relapse, I tell myself that I won't do it again and that God would not be happy. And yet I keep doing it despite my knowledge on why not to do it. Even when I try to tell myself not to do it when I'm getting the urges. I keep myself busy during the day so that's not really the problem. It's mainly happening when I'm in bed either when I wake up in the morning, when I am about to go to sleep, or when I wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to fall asleep.
I need help and I'd like some tips to stop this since I don't know what to do. I'm trying to better myself and become the type of person that would be a good role model for my future wife and kids, and every time I relapse feels like a setback from that model of myself. I need to change this about me, not only for me, but also for my connection to God. I am aware that this could be worse as I'm relapsing about every few days if not about once every week, but I still want to quit this problem. I need to regain my pureness.
And to anyone reading this, heed this message deeply: DO. NOT. WATCH. PORN. I don't care if everyone says it's fine and it's normal among people around you, it screwed me up psychologically and I don't wish that to happen to you or others as well.

2024.05.14 04:12 Winger61 Death of parents

I used to enjoy reading some of the crazy posts. Most are made up. Many don't belong as they are child parent arguments. I like the Florida Boomer doing crazy things. Now that's funny But it seems the sub has been taken over by a dark mean group. Many posters calling for the death of their parents. I had a poster try and make fun of the anniversary of my wife's death and called me a bitch. Calling for people with health problems to just go away. To drop a loved one off in front of a senior home and drive away. I use too love reddit, but it seems all the wacko who left Twitte X have come here to spread hate. Maybe Reddit will do something. Of course they won't Edit response: I made a joke On another sub about "the short bus" it seems I offend a few people. I won't try and defend my use of the joke but I can assure it was not direct at kids with disabilities however some of the community took it that way and for those I offended I deeply apologize. Now for everyone else. Boomer stuff should be funny, not mean. I busted my dad's balls to the end. He loved it and gave back what he could till his last breath. Same with my mom, we joked and insult each other but always and I mean always, with love. I deeply loved my parents and miss them everyday. I raised my kid with love, and though they are grown up with famies of their own we still talk daily. For the record my 10yr old grandson also make fun of my age. Like come on old man ya need me to help ya up or don't fall down and break a hip. It's hilarious 😂. My wifes passed away last year at the age of 61. Trust me when I say the people we love can be gone in an instant and too soon. Love them, care for them and always make them laugh. Life is too short and precious

2024.05.14 03:29 gpmartinson Late June early July smoke

Hey all—my wife and I have a trip from St. Paul,MN to the Edmonton area, through the Canadian Rockies and home we hoped to spend a week in Edmonton. I’ve been lurking on this sub for a couple months and I note the concerns about smoke and people remembering the smoke from last summer. I know it’s not a fair ask but what are the odds we will be overwhelmed with smoke on our trip?

2024.05.14 03:22 aniacret White Owl Heights part 6

part 5
"What do you think?" asked Grace looking at the rule set in disbelief.
"I don't know.. I guess the people here are a little odd but being honest, I prefer to play along and follow some weird rules than having to sleep in a box back in the city."
"You're right. It's just that some of these rules give me the chills... But we'll get used to it." She smiled trying to stay positive.
"We will. It's probably just small town superstitions anyway. Let's go inside now, we wasted a good bit of time outside and we will barely make it home before 18:00"
The store was almost empty when we entered. We greeted the employee we had met earlier and got a cart. We gathered the essentials for our first day, plus a few items for dinner and breakfast.
"We should get Jody some of that soda she likes, she hasn't threw a tantrum since we got here" said Grace with a laugh when we were heading to check out.
It was true. Our daughter was being on her best behavior, helping us unpack and keeping the little ones entertained so we can get some work done. She deserved a little treat.
We couldn't find the brand of soda Jody likes so we approached a girl in an employee uniform to ask.
"Excuse me, could you help us find [ brand ] soda?" I asked her. She looked young, probably around 20 years old. She turned and looked at us with a blank expression.
"Hi, we were looking for [ brand ] soda, could you help us please?" Grace repeated just a bit slower.
The girl smiled very wide, almost wider than a human could smile but didn't say anything.
"Maybe we should go, we can get her some ice cream tomorrow" I gently pulled Grace away. This girl was making me feel uneasy. There was something unnatural about her smile.
"Jody will be upset if you don't get her the soda" the girl said as we started to leave.
I turned around to look at her and that awful smile looked even wider. How could she know my daughter's name?
"You shouldn't disappoint your daughter again Paul" the girl said looking straight into my eyes but there was no emotion in her voice. "Changing schools, leaving Tina behind, those girls have been friends since they were 3 years old. She lost it all because of your bad decisions and now you won't even go through the trouble of finding her a can of soda?"
How could a stranger know all that? I was getting really scared. She started coming closer and even though I desperately wanted to grab Grace and run I couldn't move a muscle.
As l stood there paralyzed in fear I heard a voice through the store's intercom.
" Manager Lovac, isle four, urgent! "
The voice sounded distant but thankfully it was enough to make me break eye contact. I kept my focus on her (it? I wasn't sure this girl was human any more) but tried to avoid her eyes until I could find the courage to turn my back on her and run.
She had almost reached me when a guy rushed to us and threw a fistful of something at the creature. She let out a bone chilling scream and bolted out of the store.
Only then I noticed that the guy who saved me was wearing an employee uniform and a name tag. His name was Rey Lovac.
"What was that ?" Grace asked him. She was shaking.
"Don't worry about it, it's gone now. My deepest apologies for this incident sir and ma'am. It's the store's fault really. You see, while we did include a warning in the rules about employees that look different than usual, it's your first time shopping here so you had no way of knowing what is unusual."
I didn't know what to think. What was that thing ? Rey spoke like coming face to face with something that was clearly not human was a normal encounter. I, on the other hand was always a sceptic and never believed in ghosts, ghouls and all that nonsense.
But this was real .
" Please, accept our apologies, along with today's groceries, they are on the house." Said Rey as he started bagging our stuff himself. He even threw in some candy bars and a couple of cans of sodas.
"Now, go. It's almost 18:00. Thank you for shopping with us!" He said cheerfully and walked us to the door.
We found ourselves outside, trying to process what just happened.
"What was that?" my wife asked. She sounded terrified.
"I don't know... But it taught me one thing for sure. Those rules are not just the townsfolk quirks. Our lives might depend on following them."
I looked at my watch. 17:53.

2024.05.14 02:45 JesseRayPalacios Narcissistic "Mother" lied and prevented me from seeing grandmother on Mothers Day....Oh, and she's stealing from my grandma too.

TLDR: My "mother" is a vile evil woman who has stolen from my grandma and nephew, committed crimes and exploited people, had me working at 15 to support the family while she did nothing, and lied to me so I wouldn't see my grandma on Mother's Day. I have a long post on my full story on another subreddit on my profile if you want more context.
My "mother" is a vile, awful person who has committed heinous and despicable acts. To make an extremely long story short, I grew up in an unstable household. My dad wasn't around and my mom was unwilling to work to support us. I was pawned off to my grandparents who lived with us, and they were more parents to me than my actual parents were. Everything my mom has done has been to fuel her ego, and as with many narcissists, to seek validation to reinforce her nonexistent identity outside external validation. She needs validation constantly on how young and beautiful she looks, how rich and great she is, and how she is an excellent and caring mom. Yet a good mother wouldn't have had me and my siblings and grandparents living in a former drug house infested with millions of roaches, rats, black mold, and on again off again running water and electricity. A good mom also wouldn't have sat around having parties and drinking while I, at 15 years of age and two senior citizens, broke our backs trying to sell and rent party supplies and carrying an 800 lb bounce house to customers that wanted to rent them. I worked at 15 like a Victorian boy instead of going to school trying to make ends meet because my parents wouldn't. My "mother" has done everything evil you can think of, from scamming and stealing from innocent people, catfishing other men (while with my stepdad), pretending to be my sister online for validation and money, forcing my sister to be a model and hook up with much older men for the promise of advancement (she was 17 and these men where in there 30s or older), spies on my widowed sister-in-law, had me living in deplorable conditions and having me eat old food infested with roaches and rat droppings, conducting illegal gambling business and money laundering, kept the fact that (some of) my siblings are adopted from them, baby trapped my stepdad, had little to no concern for my mental health and did not help or try to accommodate my sensory issues (I suspect I may have level 1 autism, mostly with sensory issues) and much, much, much more. I have been going to therapy and am currently doing emdr to undo the damage that my evil "mother" has done. She is a master of manipulation, love bombing, and buying people's love, loyalty, and affection. I, for the second time, have gone no contact with her.
Now that there's some context, my grandmother means everything to me. She lives in a convalescent home and my mom has control over her. I wanted to see her on Mother's Day. My mom asked if I was going to come to lunch. I said we were visiting my wife's mom, then coming to the house later at 5. She said that was not going to work because they were going to eat at 1. I said, OK well, if we can't do the restaurant, then take her to the house, so we can all visit her at 5. She said she couldn't do that, and why couldn't we just go to eat with them and then, IF there's time, we could go to my mother-in-law's house for a little bit. I said no, everything has been arranged already, and as usual you don't inform anyone of plans and expect everyone last second to cancel theirs and do yours. We were going to make my mother-in-law a priority, however, there was time for both. She got mad and said she would not be bringing my grandma to the house and I guess that was it. I said, well, I guess it is. On Mother's Day, I called my grandma, and she was upset and crying, asking why I hadn't seen her, and that she had come to visit the house. My mom took her to the house after lunch and didn't tell me. Neither did any of my other family. She said that she wanted to come back home and didn't want to live at the facility. She is fairly healthy and in reality, doesn't need to be at the facility. After talking to her, I confronted my mom and said that I explicitly told you that I wanted to see Grandma, and you said you were NOT bringing her to the house. You did bring her to the house and intentionally did not tell me. Because I did not bow down and follow your commands like everyone else, you deliberately orchestrated this, so I would not see her in an act of revenge to spite me. There was no reason you couldn't have called or texted and told me you were bringing her, especially after I told you I wanted to see her, even if it was at the last minute. It was an intentional act. She just said you are always talking shit about me. I told her it's not talking shit if it's true. She then hung up. This is what she does. If you don't follow the Führers command, bow at her feet, and tell her how wonderful and gracious she is, she will seek vengeance and do things to spite you, to bring glory for herself.
My grandma told me that my "mom" mistreats her, and is collecting pay from the government pretending to be her caretaker (when in reality my mom does absolutely nothing and has no job whatsoever. She dedicates her life to crime, fraud, and scams. She ran an underground casino with my stepdad and when they got busted my stepdad took the fall) but instead dumped her in a conversant home and does not care for her at all. Besides all that, my grandma also stated that she takes all of her social security money and keeps it. This is not surprising because my nephew, who is technically an orphan, having lost both parents recently, is under the custody of my horrible "mother" and he had some kind of inheritance left for him. When my "mother" discovered this, she swept in and wiped it clean. Her greed is deplorable. Wherever there is money, the Sheriff of Nottingham will do anything to get every last coin wherever she can get it. She even charges people $5 to use the washing machine. The most important thing to my "mother" is herself and her endless black hole of needing to be validated and praised, along with the endless black hole of greed. It is her entire identity. I am so enraged, and I can not let these things happen. When will my "mother" face consequences for her actions? She cannot continue to commit evil acts and not only get away with them but also prosper because of it. One of the worst parts, however, is that everyone, even if they have their problems with her, always goes along with what the dear leader says and continues to enable her by telling her she's a good mom and that they appreciate her. She needs to face consequences for her actions, but I don't know what to do. She can't continue to harm people and get away with it. I need help.

2024.05.14 02:44 JesseRayPalacios Narcissistic "Mother" lied and prevented me from seeing grandmother on Mothers Day....Oh, and she's stealing from my grandma too.

TLDR: My "mother" is a vile evil woman who has stolen from my grandma and nephew, committed crimes and exploited people, had me working at 15 to support the family while she did nothing, and lied to me so I wouldn't see my grandma on Mother's Day. I have a long post on my full story on another subreddit on my profile if you want more context.
My "mother" is a vile, awful person who has committed heinous and despicable acts. To make an extremely long story short, I grew up in an unstable household. My dad wasn't around and my mom was unwilling to work to support us. I was pawned off to my grandparents who lived with us, and they were more parents to me than my actual parents were. Everything my mom has done has been to fuel her ego, and as with many narcissists, to seek validation to reinforce her nonexistent identity outside external validation. She needs validation constantly on how young and beautiful she looks, how rich and great she is, and how she is an excellent and caring mom. Yet a good mother wouldn't have had me and my siblings and grandparents living in a former drug house infested with millions of roaches, rats, black mold, and on again off again running water and electricity. A good mom also wouldn't have sat around having parties and drinking while I, at 15 years of age and two senior citizens, broke our backs trying to sell and rent party supplies and carrying an 800 lb bounce house to customers that wanted to rent them. I worked at 15 like a Victorian boy instead of going to school trying to make ends meet because my parents wouldn't. My "mother" has done everything evil you can think of, from scamming and stealing from innocent people, catfishing other men (while with my stepdad), pretending to be my sister online for validation and money, forcing my sister to be a model and hook up with much older men for the promise of advancement (she was 17 and these men where in there 30s or older), spies on my widowed sister-in-law, had me living in deplorable conditions and having me eat old food infested with roaches and rat droppings, conducting illegal gambling business and money laundering, kept the fact that (some of) my siblings are adopted from them, baby trapped my stepdad, had little to no concern for my mental health and did not help or try to accommodate my sensory issues (I suspect I may have level 1 autism, mostly with sensory issues) and much, much, much more. I have been going to therapy and am currently doing emdr to undo the damage that my evil "mother" has done. She is a master of manipulation, love bombing, and buying people's love, loyalty, and affection. I, for the second time, have gone no contact with her.
Now that there's some context, my grandmother means everything to me. She lives in a convalescent home and my mom has control over her. I wanted to see her on Mother's Day. My mom asked if I was going to come to lunch. I said we were visiting my wife's mom, then coming to the house later at 5. She said that was not going to work because they were going to eat at 1. I said, OK well, if we can't do the restaurant, then take her to the house, so we can all visit her at 5. She said she couldn't do that, and why couldn't we just go to eat with them and then, IF there's time, we could go to my mother-in-law's house for a little bit. I said no, everything has been arranged already, and as usual you don't inform anyone of plans and expect everyone last second to cancel theirs and do yours. We were going to make my mother-in-law a priority, however, there was time for both. She got mad and said she would not be bringing my grandma to the house and I guess that was it. I said, well, I guess it is. On Mother's Day, I called my grandma, and she was upset and crying, asking why I hadn't seen her, and that she had come to visit the house. My mom took her to the house after lunch and didn't tell me. Neither did any of my other family. She said that she wanted to come back home and didn't want to live at the facility. She is fairly healthy and in reality, doesn't need to be at the facility. After talking to her, I confronted my mom and said that I explicitly told you that I wanted to see Grandma, and you said you were NOT bringing her to the house. You did bring her to the house and intentionally did not tell me. Because I did not bow down and follow your commands like everyone else, you deliberately orchestrated this, so I would not see her in an act of revenge to spite me. There was no reason you couldn't have called or texted and told me you were bringing her, especially after I told you I wanted to see her, even if it was at the last minute. It was an intentional act. She just said you are always talking shit about me. I told her it's not talking shit if it's true. She then hung up. This is what she does. If you don't follow the Führers command, bow at her feet, and tell her how wonderful and gracious she is, she will seek vengeance and do things to spite you, to bring glory for herself.
My grandma told me that my "mom" mistreats her, and is collecting pay from the government pretending to be her caretaker (when in reality my mom does absolutely nothing and has no job whatsoever. She dedicates her life to crime, fraud, and scams. She ran an underground casino with my stepdad and when they got busted my stepdad took the fall) but instead dumped her in a conversant home and does not care for her at all. Besides all that, my grandma also stated that she takes all of her social security money and keeps it. This is not surprising because my nephew, who is technically an orphan, having lost both parents recently, is under the custody of my horrible "mother" and he had some kind of inheritance left for him.

2024.05.14 00:44 LetsGoFishing91 It's a popularity contest

I have worked for Target for 8 years, I have 4 year prior management experience and 4 years construction experience.
I started out on Inbound and Electronics, I've been a DBO/DPO, backroom team member and am currently working P-fresh, I helped set up the stores ship form store and am the bike buildetrainer, I'm cross trained in every department at my own initiative (including receiving). I worked the truck for 4 years and ran it for 2 (while the TL was busy cheating on his wife with team members and covering for his buddies who got paid to stand around and talk). I got passed over when he left for a guest service TL who had never even touched a box of freight. Then they had me train him on how to work inbound.
I continued to run inbound under this new TL until he went on his paternity leave, he put my name forward for the tempt TL position and Instead our SD put a team member in charge who'd been there about 5 months (I also trained him on working truck). Then when the TL got promoted to ETL he, another TL and another ETL put my name forward for the position and she still said no. Said I wasn't a team player.
I refused to run the truck anymore and switched to POG. Worked there for 2 years until they decided to put me on our remodel team to show I could lead a team (in preparation for being a PML), by every account I did an amazing job! Half way through the remodel our overnight TL moved, they decided to temp promote a softlines team member from another store who had zero relevant experience (the remodel was logistics and gen merch based). They expected me to "support the new leader in their development", so I spent the rest of remodel babysitting and cleaning up after her.
After the remodel was over our PML (my mentor) was promoted to ETL, I applied for his position and was denied the roll because they "didn't want to promote from within the same store". The PML I was applying to replace was promoted to the position from within our store but ok I guess. They say "we have another PML position opening up in 6 months due to retirement!" so I'm told to wait for that one. I wait 6 months and that PML delays his retirement. He does this 2 more times until he finally retires next month!
Last week I had to interview again and the interviews went great! But I find out today they decided to go with a "more experienced candidate".
I'm done.
They have made it clear that there is ZERO incentive for their senior staff to continue working hard and putting in effort for this company. They pay team members who've been here practically 5 minutes the same as those who've been here decades and give shit for raises. Target claims it's about family, it's a joke.
TLDR: Target promotes people who can kiss ass the best instead of people who can actually do the job

2024.05.14 00:42 SweetFedJuices I have some offers and not sure what to choose… + Interview notes.

Hello! So I have a few offers, and I’m not sure the right direction to go… For reference, 21M, married, LCOL area, MBA, recently laid off…
Offer 1: Large telecommunications company in Business Sales. I previously worked for this company, before going to another one and getting laid off. They offered to interview me for a position for the business department - even though I was retail prior. It’s remote with 25-50% travel, and the travel locations are roughly 1.5-2 hours away. The pay is $55k base + a target commission of $40k, and bonus potential up to $15k. Amazing benefits including helping repay student loans. Great company. Interview was FANTASTIC! Super respectful and fun.
Offer 2: Federal government position, in an examination capacity role. It’s 100% onsite, and making around $49k-$52k. Have had a lot of family work for this branch, and some family friends in management and a couple of personal friends working there, in different departments. It’s about a 7-10 minute drive, and obviously federal benefits. Promotion potential up to $130k. Interview was scary as hell, long, and did I say scary?
Offer 3: Large telecom/tv/internet company. Senior level manager in sales. It’s also 100% onsite, however this one is an entire state away, or rather a 2.5 hour drive. The salary is $100k + commission (with a target commission being $40k) + bonus potential up to $25k, and stock options up to $5k. Benefits are good, but not spectacular. I like the company, and like the idea of being at a senior manager making that money early in my careelife especially for my wife and I but worried if I even deserve it? Interview was relaxed, we got along really well, and didn’t take long for the offer.
Offer 4: One of if not the largest Oil & Gas company in the US. In Water Logistics. I would be planning routes, and assisting haulers with emergency dispatching calls - in offer person, so I wouldn’t be the one doing the trucking. It’s 100% onsite and about a 10 minute drive. It’s a 12-hour shift position, 7-days on, 7-days off. Each month the shift rotates, so Day Shift 1 month, Night Shift the next. Pay is $60k, but with overtime can be around $85k - as mentioned by the Hiring Manager, and stated “overtime is built in, so it’s closer to the higher”. Benefits are meh, but they offer $5k in student loan repayment per year (my MBA is only $17k). Company I have always wanted to work for, but at a different capacity, however, they’re typically not hiring because their retention is so high. Their turnover is about 3%. Family member works in there as a HR Director also. Interview was okay, mentioned multiple times that I didn’t have the experience - and the offer was the very lowest they had posted.
Offer 5: Large insurance company. Doing adjustments for large weather events. Pay is $60k and can come with bonuses up to $5k. It’s between 220-240 days of work per year, and benefits are meh. It’s remote, but with travel across my state and some surrounding ones, as needed. Good company and opportunities for advancement, and seems like a good work life balance. Interview was one of those recordings… Only spoke to a recruiter for the screening, and received an interview from the recording and personality exam.
What do you all think? I feel like I want the senior level one, but I don’t really want to move to a HCOL environment, or have to travel that much daily. I feel like I’m blessed to have so many opportunities but don’t want to make the wrong choice.

2024.05.14 00:00 Mythrowaway484 What led you to divorce ?

Like when did you have enough and spoke the D word?
I’m 50+, married for 25yrs, have 3 daughters who all seem to be doing well. 2 of them are graduated from college and 1 or 2 years out of the house. The youngest is a senior in college and doesn’t live at home…but we see all 3 of them 1 or 2 times/month. Wife has us going to weekly therapy and ummm, not sure we’re benefiting from it - at least not me. At home I’m walking around on egg shells. I’m home 90% of the time so that sucks. When I get out for time with friends or something fun then I’m a happy guy with pep in my step. I don’t want to divorce but the egg shell walking is not sustainable for either of us. She just told me she’ll be headed to our cabin solo for a long weekend. A nice break for both of us and time for deep thinking.

2024.05.13 23:41 InsideLlewynDameron Why was ending the Atreides line the only option?

Hi! First time posting in this subreddit since I've finished the book, I'm the annoying husband and coworker that cannot stop talking about Dune everyday. Every time I watch the new movies with my wife or friends they always ask me what the purpose of giving Arrakis to House Atreides was if the Emperor only intended to kill them off. I of course explain the growing popularity of House Atreides and strength of their army making them a threat to the Padishah Emperor. .
But, honestly, I still feel like there were easier ways to solve the problem. In the book it's made quite clear the level of admiration Emperor Shaddam had for Duke Leto, I believe Irulan says that Shaddam saw Duke as the son he never had.
Also, Irulan is a Benne Gesserit, I know she knows the importance of preserving the thousands of years of genetic selection in the Atreides bloodline. I don't see how it wouldn't benefit every faction to marry Paul a Harkonen/Atreides, to Irulan Corinno, promising Paul the throne after Shaddam dies. I guess the Harkonen's would've been pissed but it's pretty clear the Emperor doesn't trust the Baron anyways and the rest of the houses also loved House Atreides so mostly everyone would be happy right?
I listened to the audio book while I was working so maybe I just missed an obvious explanation but I struggle to see why this conflict could not have been prevented.

2024.05.13 23:27 Agreeable_Owl_2197 My narcissistic mother keeps trying to manipulate me back into a relationship with her.

I (29 F) have had a rocky relationship with my mother (58 F) since my father died suddenly in 2016. Early on my mother's narcissism began to seep out of her, but it was so subtle that I didn't notice the red flags. Two years later I married my husband (31 M), and that was when she began to vie for control over me. She even called me on my honeymoon, and not long afterward she sent a passive-aggressive remark to my husband for reminding her that honeymooners shouldn't be disturbed, and that she has every right to love her daughter. So the pattern of manipulation continued without me being aware of it, and then the pandemic of 2020 hit. At this point my mother had become very insufferable. During Easter, she successfully guilt-tripped me into going to a family gathering when I wanted to obey the stay-at-home order, and tbh I did not enjoy the visit.
A few months later, my mother met this man who was fifteen years her senior, and that was when my relationship with her started going sharply downhill. To give some backstory, his second wife died of cancer five months before he met my mother. My sister (27 F) and I not only feel uncomfortable with this man, but our mother and he were moving extremely fast in their relationship; they got engaged five months after they met. Not to mention that our entire family adores him for some reason. Every time we tried to warn her, she would only dismiss our concerns by saying that she prayed and prayed about it, and that she and her much-older boyfriend are meant to be together by the Lord's will. At the time I was battling untreated depression because of my mother's behavior, almost to the point of suicidal thoughts.
Soon it was the eve of my mother's wedding (ten months after they met). She called me while I was working and tried to persuade me to attend her wedding. I replied that I would rather spend some time comforting my sister because I knew she was hurting; therefore I decided not to go. This filled my mother with an uncontrollable rage that I had never seen in her, and this led to the falling-out that would ultimately leave me broken. I tried to no avail to get through to her, but before she hung up abruptly, she told me that she'd pray that God would open her eyes to two selfish daughters. After that she accused my sister of turning me against her, and also got so many of our family members involved in a smear campaign against us. It was one of the most horrible days of my life, almost like my dad died all over again, and I still carry the emotional scars to this day.
I am trying so hard to go VLC or even NC with my mother to this day, but she always manages to lure me back with apologies and promises that we will take reconciliation slowly. However, I'm seriously regretting breaking NC with her, because every time she apologizes for something she still denies that she's done, she reverts back to her old narcissistic behavior patterns and I fall back into the cycle of emotional abuse. Now she feels entitled to have access to my one-year-old daughter whenever she wants, and my husband and I are going to great lengths to NEVER leave her alone with my mother, because we don't want her constantly exposed to that manipulative, gaslighting, narcissistic behavior.

You are not recommended to try spells to bring a lover back if you are going through the following: You know that your relationship with your ex is toxic and the best painful option to take in this is to move on. It is not a good choice to be in a relationship that is un-natural, one that is built on witchcraft. The love spark as to be their at all times.
Even the most powerful love spell may not fulfill the things that are required for a real relationship to be in place. Love should be natural and if your partner looses interest in you, its better that you let them follow the heart. If one door closes, expect another open infront of you.
Therefore witchcraft or love spells should not be the ultimate solution to mending a broken heart in a relationship, one has to make love exist naturally by doing the right things to your partner, the things that will recapture the inner feelings of love and affection as you did in the start of the relationship.
Only if and when all has been tried and failed to work that one should order for my love spells that actually work, and indeed this will be the last nail in the coffin to fix your troubled relationship permanently.

2024.05.13 22:28 SynthFrenetic If you could catch a full-on Beatles set with today's standards, what would be your dream set list?

Let's say it's 2024 and magically The Beatles have reunited and will perform a show passing through all of their career just for you. What would be the perfect tracklist? I decided on a standard of 30 songs which is what Paul plays today on his shows. I also tried to split evenly with every member being a lead singer proportionally to their released tracks (I came up with 10 for John, 10 for Paul, 4 for both, 3 for George, and 3 for Ringo).
I haven't adventured myself much into their solo works, so this show would be 100% Beatles.
This was my favorite outcome:
  1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - Paul
  2. With A Little Help From My Friends - Ringo
  3. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - John
  4. Penny Lane - Paul
  5. Strawberry Fields Forever - John
  6. I Am The Walrus - John
  7. While My Guitar Gently Weeps - George
  8. Blackbird - Paul
  9. Yellow Submarine - Ringo
  10. Yesterday - Paul
  11. In My Life - John
  12. Ticket To Ride - John
  13. Love Me Do - Paul
  14. She Loves You - John/Paul
  15. Can't Buy Me Love - Paul
  16. A Hard Day's Night - John/Paul
  17. Please Please Me - John
  18. I Want To Hold Your Hand - John/Paul
  19. Get Back - Paul
  20. Don't Let Me Down - John
  21. Let It Be - Paul
  22. Across The Universe (World Wildlife Fund Version) - John
  23. Come Together - John
  24. Something - George
  25. Oh! Darling - Paul
  26. Octopus's Garden - Ringo
  27. Here Comes the Sun - George
  28. A Day In The Life - John/Paul
  29. Now And Then - John
  30. Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End - Paul
I also tried splitting the singers evenly through the show, but I also found it interesting to separate the show in a few eras, that's why even though you have little George songs, 2 of them are within 4 tracks. I also avoided the most to repeat the vocalists back-to-back but this still happened.
Speaking of eras, and given the complexity of some shows today, I split them into these. The number in parentheses is the song number.
I think it would be possible for each era to tell a little story, in the same vein as the Sgt. Pepper's concept/Yellow Submarine movie. Not to deviate too much from the music, it could be some quick 5 minutes videos of them rehearsing or telling a narrative as the YS movie, and depending on the complexity, even era-accurate clothing (Sgt. Pepper's costume for 1-8; Suits for 9-18, Abbey Road cover clothing for 19-30)

2024.05.13 22:20 securimancer Day in a Life of a Principal Security Engineer

Day in a Life of a Principal Security Engineer
a securimancer working to keep Reddit safe and secure
Written by u/securimancer
Greetings fine humans. I’m here today writing a “Day in a Life” blog post because someone asked me to. I cannot imagine this is interesting, but Redditors tend to surprise me so let’s do this.
Morning Routine
Like many of us, mornings are when I take care of all the dependent lifeforms under my command. Get in an hour or so of video games (Unicorn Overlord currently) for my mental health. Feed the coterie of beasts (including the children), make coffee for the wife and me, prep the kids for school. Catch up on Colbert (my news needs comedy otherwise darkness consumes), check out what’s been happening on Medium and Reddit, and read a few of my favorite cybersecurity / engineering mail lists. Crack open the ol’ calendar and see what my ratio of “get shit done” to “help other people get shit done” is in store for my day. All roughly before 8am. And the beauty of working for a Bay Area company (if we can call it that, we’re so remote friendly) is that I normally have a precious few hours before people in SF wake up to get things done.
Daily Tasks
Each morning has a brief reflection of what I need to get done that day. I’m a big fan of the Eisenhower Method to figure out what I actually need to prioritize in my day. It’s exceedingly rare that I get a majority of my day focused on work that I’ve initiated, so prioritizing activities from code review and pull request feedback to architectural systems design reviews to pair programming requests from the team to random break/fix fires that pop up, all of that gets organized so I feel like I’m (at least trying) to do the most impactful work for the day. Reddit has a few systems to help drive queues of work: Jira for planned work and “big rock” items that we’re trying to accomplish for that quarter, Harold (an in-house developed shame mechanism) for code review and deployment, and Launch Control (Reddit’s flavor of Google’s LaunchCal) for architecture design reviews. Plenty of potential dopamine hits as “things to get done.”
Meetings
It’s exceedingly rare that I have meetings that could have been an email (and if I do, they’re almost always vendor meetings). A lot of what my meetings tend to focus on are around conflict resolutions across teams as we try to achieve different goals or drive consensus to resolve problems that come up on various programs teams are trying to deliver. Working on Security, you can often get perceived as the “Department of No”, but in every meeting I work hard to make sure that isn’t the case. It starts with getting a shared context of what is the problem at hand, understanding the outcomes that we need to drive toward and inputs into the problem (timelines, humans, trade offs), and deciding how we move forward. Meetings are a terrible way to convey decisions as they are only as good as the individuals that remember them, so lots of these meetings are centered around decision docs or technical design reviews. Capturing your rationale for a decision not only helps make sure you understand the problem (if you can’t write about it, it’s hard to think about it), but also helps capture the whys and rationale behind those decisions for future you and other product and engineering staff.
There’s also meetings that I live for, those that are building up humans. We have biweekly SPACE (Security, Privacy, and Compliance Engineering) brown bags where we talk about new things we’ve shipped or some training topic that upskills all of us. We have biweekly threat modeling meetings where we pick a topic/scenario and go through a threat modeling exercise live, which helps build the muscle memory of how to do technical diagramming, and helps build a shared context of how the system works, what our risk appetite is, and how various team members think about the problem providing multiple viewpoints to the discussion (honestly the most valuable component). As a Principal Engineer, I’m keenly aware of my humanity and the fact that I do not scale in my efforts alone: training and building up future PEs is how I scale myself (at least until cloning becomes more readily available).
Ubiquity
One of my super powers is being everything everywhere all at once, or so I’ve been told by my fellow Snoos. I’ve been told that I have an uncanny knack to be in so many Slack channels and part of so many threads of discussion that it’s “inhuman”. Being a damn fine security engineer is hard because not only do you have to have the understanding and context of the thing you’re trying to secure, but also know how to actually secure the thing. This is nigh impossible if you don’t know what’s going on in your business (and we’re still “small enough” size-wise that this is still possible for one human), so I’ve got Slack keyword alerts, channel organization, and a giant 49” ultrawide monitor that has a dedicated Slack tiled window to keep me plugged in and accessible. I also have developed over many years my response to pings from Slack: “Can I solve this problem, if not who can? Is this something I should solve or can I delegate? Can this be answered async with good quality, or is a larger block of dedicated time required to solve? Is this thread too long and needs a different approach?” This workflow is second nature to me and helps me move around the org. I’ve also been here almost 5 years and, as I’m in Security and have to know everything about everything to secure anything (which I don’t, but I am a master of Googling, learning, and listening), I’ve been exposed to pretty much everything in our engineering sphere. With that knowledge comes great power of helping connect teams together that wouldn’t have connected otherwise.
Do Security Stuffs
Occasionally I actually get to do “security” things. These past two quarters it’s been launching Reddit’s “unified access control” solution leveraging Cloudflare Zero Trust, moving us off old crusty Nginx OAuth proxies onto a modern system that has such groundbreaking things like caching and logs , among other things. But really, it’s the planning, designing, and execution of a complex technical migration with only a handful of engineers. I oversee security across the entire business so that requires opining on web app security, k8s / AWS / GCP security, IAM concepts, observability, mobile app dev, CI/CD security, and all the design patterns that are included in this smörgåsbord of technology. Keeping all this in my head is why I can’t remember names and faces and my wife has to tell me multiple times where I’m supposed to be and when. But the thing that keeps me going is always the “building”, seeing things get stood up at Reddit that I know are sound and secure. It’s not denying people’s requests or crapping all over a developer for picking a design they didn’t know had a serious security design flaw. We’re not a bank (either in terms of money we get to throw at security, or tolerance for security friction), we get to make risk tradeoff decisions based on Reddit’s risk tolerance (which is high except where it comes to privacy or financial exchanges) and listen to our business as we try to find ways to improve ads serving and improve our users’ experience. So I view myself like any other software engineer, I just happen to know a lot about security. And I guess not just security, I know a lot about our safety systems, our networking environment, and our Kubernetes architecture. It just comes with the Security space, that inquisitive mind of “how does this thing work?” and wanting to be competent when you talk about it and try to secure it.
Not everything is 0s and 1s, however. A lot of security is process, paperwork, and persistence. Designing workflow approval processes for how an IAM flow should look like. Reviewing IT corporate policies for accuracy and applicability. Crafting responses to potential advertisers’ IT teams on “how secure is Reddit, really”. Writing documentation for how an engineering system works and how other engineers should interact with it. Updating runbooks with steps on how others should respond to an incident or page. Building Grafana dashboards to quantify and visualize how a tooling rollout is working. Providing consulting on product features like authentication / authorization business logic across services. Interviewing, not only for my own team but also within other engineering and cross-functional areas of the business.
End of Day Routine
Eventually, I run out of time in the day as I’m beckoned away from my dark, cave-like, Diet Coke strewn office by the promise of dinner. Wrapping up document review, (hopefully) crossing things off my to-do list, and closing out Slack threads for the day, I try to pack everything up and not carry it with me after work. It’s challenging being an almost completely remote company with a heavy presence in the West Coast, as pings and notifications come in as dinner and kids’ bedtime happens. But I know not everything can be finished in a day, some things will slip, and there will always be more work tomorrow. Which is juxtaposed occasionally with bouts of imposter syndrome, even for someone as senior and tenured as I am. Happens to all of us.
After-hours work is restricted to on-call duty and pet projects. You don’t want to know how many on-call queues I’m secondary escalation on. Or how many Single Point of Securimancers services that I still own (looking at you, Reddit onion service). And pet projects are typically things that I’ve got desires to do: prototyping security solutions we want to look into, messing with my k8s homelab, doing routine upgrades. Nothing clears the mind like watching semver numbers go up (until you find the undocumented change that breaks everything).
Future Outlook
And finally, what's on the horizon for our little SPACE team? We’re still a small team coming out of IPO, and our greatest super power is networking and influencing our engineering peers. We got our ISO 27001 and SOC2 Type 2 last year and continue to ever increase scope and complexity of public accreditation. We’re close partners with our Infrastructure and IT teams to modernize our tech and continue to evolve our capabilities in host and network security, data loss prevention, and security observability. We’ve got two wonderful interns from YearUp that started and are going to be with us this summer, and we continue to focus on improving our team composition (more women and diversity, more junior folks and less singleton seniors). All of this work takes effort by this PE.
So there you have it, a “day in a life” of a u/securimancer. If you made it this far, congratulations on your achievement. Got any questions or want to share your own experiences? Drop 'em in the comments below!
