The narcissistic aspect really nails it. These are people who cannot, are probably literally incapable of, seeing past themselves and their own feelings and views. I love how you phrased it as "they see is young people conspiring to not even have to come visit."

Lots! I'm constantly trying new teas because that's apparently exciting to me. I've done Harney & Sons, Yorkshire, Adagio, a couple of Etsy shops (WildWoodsTea, OpenDoorTeaCT), and ton of local shops (not gonna list to avoid doxxing sorry!)

Comedy. Watch something funny. It's hard to be anxious and amused at the same time, and at least for me, the amusement wins.

I also have a soft plush that I find soothing but ymmv on that one. I don't even know why it calms me down, it's not a childhood toy or anything.

I used to do this with boss fights until I got better at balancing for my party.

Definitely not now, but before, no. Before I moved out, I was mostly supporting them, using the credit card I opened when I went to college. Took me a long time to work that debt off.

I'm a Salesforce administrator.

Best Part - when I get to sit down and create a cool new feature or automation for my org, something that makes everyone's lives easier and better.

Worst Part - having to teach users the most basic shit ever, like how to make a simple report.

Special Edition Worst Part - When I know things that my senior admin should know but doesn't because she doesn't seem to pay attention to anything she hasn't directly touched, despite daily standups.

That's super traumatic! I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Interacting with local people is definitely a good one. If there are any community events, especially recurrent ones, go there!

Mmm sasparilla

Your rage is justified and the phrase "It's an attack on our personal space" absolutely nails it.

When I moved over I searched for versions of all my reddit communities. Sadly, a lot of them are inactive, but I subbed anyway just in case. Then I went onto all and looked for the top handful that had stuff I liked. Now I mostly stick to my subscribed and flip over to all if I run out.

The fact that this meme is using Smithers is particularly ironic

I bet!! It sounds like you had a truly exhausting day!

I guess I'm surprised because I've never been at a hotel that didn't have a lobby open 24/7. Sure you can't check in, but I'm surprised you couldn't plop down in a seat in the lobby and read or browse on your phone until you could check in.

They wouldn't let you chill out in the lobby?

When I was a young teen, one of my friends gave me a floppy disk of midi song files she liked a lot but they mostly had names like "ANIME 2" so I had no idea where they came from. There was one on there I was particularly obsessed with but could never find. Then one serendipitous day, I did. It was The Destruction of Laputa from Castle in the Sky.

Edit: Or it was Sora from Escaflowne. There's been a few times I heard an instrumental or non-English song with no source to go off of.

Oh, good song!

I think I'd like to get this; do you have a brand you can recommend?

Great song!

I am a woman whose father was an abusive narcissist, the list of what I needed and didn't get is depressing to say the least. So I'll boil it down to its essence: Be there when needed. Remember she is her own person, not an extension of you. Try to make her life better than your own. Let your love be unconditional. It may not be helpful advice, but it's all I got for ya.
