Should I continue pursuing her or let it go? Need advice (22M)
2023.06.04 08:32 okiedockiee Should I continue pursuing her or let it go? Need advice (22M)
Hello guys! Hope your all doing well in your personal lives.
I know I’m doing alright doing the best I can. I wanted to ask on my current situation on what I should do next with this girl I’ve been talking to for 4 months.
I met her 4 months ago on Instagram and we kicked it off from there. I hit her up and we start talking and calling here and there. We then went out on a few dates and it went by great. We talked a lot more and stuff but I realized that from what I like, my love language is physical touch and words of affirmation. Hers are the complete opposite she doesn’t really invite to hold hands, or ask for hugs or anything within that bracket. The connection is definitely there as for as vibes and speaking and doing things but in terms of deep connection I just don’t feel it.
I like her a lot and like her personality and find her attractive. But usually whenever I speak to a girl I really liked in the past I would have been deeply into them within 4 months. But this girl has been different and till now I don’t feel it only because she doesn’t want to display it.
Mind you I’ve been seeing her a lot so it would only make sense she’s as comfortable as me. She seems very comfortable we have deep convos and nothing is off or bad about her it’s just she doesn’t satisfy my need for love whenever we’re together.
I started acting abit off after continuously softly telling her that “hey I just feel like I’m not feeling much from ur end in terms of giving love” and she told me she’s trying and she is super slow with that stuff. I told her like I’m here to grow with her so idm it’s just like we have gotten much much closer that we’re about to label us together and your still not even asking for a hug or a kiss.
Anyway we haven’t really talked in like 5 days now and she hasn’t chased me at alll or bothered to top up and see how I am doing . We have had arguments before and even then I would still text her and try to talks our differences but whenever something like this happens she’s super non-chalant and laid back and doesn’t really put the effort.
Should I text her first again trying to speak to her face to face or should I just let it go?

2023.06.04 08:30 AutoModerator [Download Course] Dan Koe – Digital Economics Masters Degree (Genkicourses.site)
Get the course here:
[Download Course] Dan Koe – Digital Economics Masters Degree (Genkicourses.site) Our website:
https://www.genkicourses.site/product/dan-koe-digital-economics-masters-degree/
Phase 0) Digital Economics 101
The Digital Economics 101 module will open 1 week prior to the cohort start date.This is an onboarding module that will get you up to speed so we can get straight into the material.This will be required to finish before the start date.
- Gain a deep understanding of all of the pieces in the digital economy.
- Learn about the future of media and code — the front-end and backend of the internet — so you can focus your efforts.
- Understand digital leverage, distribution, no-code tools, and digital assets so you can take part in the mental & financial wealth transfer.
Phase 1) Creating A Meaningful Niche
Every day I hear people going on and on about trying to find their niche.I also hear people talking about how they
don’t know how to combine what they love talking about with
what will sell.You already have the answer.
You just don’t have the clarity. - Develop a long-term strategy to create your own niche — meaning you don’t have to worry about your “competition” playing status games.
- Discover your life’s work, curiosities, and obsessions. I see too many people that are uncertain about this for years.
- Cultivate and turn your vision, goals, and values into a brand that attracts an audience you love interacting with (and that will buy from you, and only you).
Phase 2) Content Strategy
There is one thing that separates those who make it in the digital economy and those who don’t.It’s the
quality, articulation, and perceived originality of their content.The content you post has to
make sense to the people you attract.Everyone has a different voice and tone that they resonate with.
That they are congruent with and trust.It has to
change their thought patterns or behavior — that’s what makes you memorable.That’s what separates you from the sea of people posting surface-level copy-cat style posts.Example and putting my money where my mouth is:
- Become an expert-level speaker or writer on the topics you care about.
- Never run out of content ideas for your posts or promotions (without using content templates — that’s how you stay a commodity).
- Create posts, blogs, tweets, images, and videos that resonate with other’s on a deep level. People will actually ask you how you got so good at what you do.
- Separate yourself from the ocean of B-tier creators that struggle to sell their products, services, andhave their ideas stick in the head of their audience.
- Implement our Epistemic Research Method — which is just a fancy way of saying scientific research method… but it’s for researching your mind to craft brilliant content and product ideas.
Phase 3) Crafting Your Offer
Most people are sitting on a goldmine of skills, experience, and knowledge (
that they can use to help people 1-2 steps behind them).That is what people pay for.Considering
95% of the market are beginners… if you are good at something, you can help them get to your level (
no matter how “basic” you think the information is).Do you not watch basic content all day anyway? People don’t want new information,
they want to be reminded of what works. - Use our Minimum Viable Offer strategy to start monetizing immediately (and have something to improve over time, rather than procrastinating until it’s perfect).
- Have a strategy for reducing the time you spend working over time (as you build leverage and improve your offer).
- Know how to create your own customers from the audience you are building, instead of “finding” the right customer for your offer.
- Take the guesswork out of building coaching, consulting, or digital product offers.
Phase 4) Marketing Strategy
You aren’t making money because you aren’t promoting yourself or your offer.That is literally the only way to make money. Have something desirable and
consistently put it in front of peoples’ faces.In Phase 4, I will show you how to systemize, automate, and be consistent with simple promotions.You will be able to make money without having the chance of forgetting to do it (or letting fear of failure get in the way).
- Learn to sell on social media, in your writing, and across different platforms.
- Have consistent sales coming in while focusing on your meaningful message (no need to sound salesy all the time).
- Learn advanced automation strategies that you can implement at your own pace, especially once you validate your offer.
Bonus) The Creator Command Center
The Creator Command Center is a Notion template that houses all of the systems.This is how you will manage your brand, content, offer creation, marketing strategy, and systemized promotions for consistent sales.
Bonus) Live Product Build & Launch
In the first Digital Economics Cohort, I built out my course The 2 Hour Writer.I have videos showing how I build it with the strategies in phase 3 and 4.There is a bonus module that shows how I had an $85,000 launch that resulted in my first $100K month.I did this to prove the strategies inside Digital Economics work if you stick to the plan.
And, this past Black Friday, I blew my that monthly high out of the water in 4 days.That’s the power of these strategies if you stay consistent with your life’s work.

2023.06.04 08:27 themayorj I can't cope with cats
Hi, I hope this title isn't seen as clickbaity because its 100% true. Sorry its a long one I really need help.
Me my partner and a friend lived together and we adopted 3 cats.
A bunch of stuff happened and now I live with a different person, her 1 cat and my 2. (We're also cat sitting a fourth)
So all 4 cats are under 1 year, with my two being 1 in September, theyre all indoor cats and they're nightmares, I absolutely love them to bits but i cant cope, They urinate on everything (clean litter daily and 5 accessible litter boxes) they climb curtains even though they have plenty of toys. They tare up carpets if they're not given access to a room.
I have more vertical climbing space arriving today and I've ordered pheromonal plug ins to see if it calms them down and I'm hoping to get them neutered on my next paycheque but its just all really hard.
My landlord/flatmate is very strict about where they can climb (so chests of drawers are off bound??) even if theyre not causing damage. And they all have to be separated into bedrooms at night (there's 3 rooms) meaning my two are pent up in a tiny room for 8 hours
She works like 10 hour shifts Monday-Friday excluding Wednesdays. So I'm alone looking after all 4 cats daily, and I have a damaged hand making more things extra difficult.
Obviously she's the landlord what she says goes, but I don't have anywhere else to go. This isn't a criticism of her she's a lovely person and she's obviously just trying to protect her house but my cats would be absolutely fine if it wasn't for the living situation.
Literally any and all advice is welcome! Though please don't take time out of your day to be harsh and critical toward me or my landlord or even my cats.
Thank you all so much

2023.06.04 08:26 HelloYallJustCurious My husband came home wasted
My husband came home wasted on Thursday after a company event. For context we live in a country let’s say like Ireland where drinking until drunk is not uncommon… They had a huge event for clients and he was supposed to make it home by 11pm since they very next day on Friday afternoon he was headed to a bachelor party until Sunday. He promised me he would come home early so he could be with our daughters on Friday morning before the bachelor… Well… He arrived at 5:30am completely destroyed. Apparently the coworkers moved the party to the office (they have a bar there) and he came when the cleaning ppl kicked them out.
He then woke up at 10:30 still drunk and proceed to take a 2 hour nap in the living room. Leaving the girls completely to me. (Which is ok I love them but not the plan) I’ve never been so angry with him tbh just the week before we both drank way too much for this brothers departure improvised party and with the bachelor party coming the last thing I expected was this.
He always told me only drinks in this company events cause he doesn’t go out otherwise. But this proves it wrong. Shows that he was lying to me since the beginning and he does it just cause he likes it and he can’t control it. On top of everything he wasn’t even remorseful and actually gaslighting me for being angry. Telling me “what was wrong with me… To take a chill pill… that the event was so much fun” this part was new to me. He never did this before he was always ashamed.
So I did what every bitchy wife would and secretly dressed up and took a taxi to a mall just to leave him and his hangover to deal with our kids and potentially miss the first night of the bachelor party. But instead his parents came to the rescue leaving him off the hook and diminishing my efforts to make him face real consequences of his stupidity.
He is still on the bachelor thing. We haven’t spoken since Friday. He texted me a couple of times on Saturday saying he was sorry but so very vaguely that sounded more like he didn’t wanna deal with this once he comes back today on Sunday destroyed, hangover and possibly drunk…
I don’t know what to do!! I decided to have June as a sober month myself. Planned on doing some trips on my own which I’ve never done since the babies are born!.. And maybe have a talk to him? But he will laugh at my face if I tell him he has a drinking problem, specially cause of last weekend we both drank like that!
Oh please give me your insight. I feel at a loss. I live in his country and have no family or many friends here!.. He was so far my rock but something feels so off!.. I even low key feel he cheated on me idk why. He isn’t the type but idk. What should I do?

2023.06.04 08:25 Lanky-General7084 Tips for getting help??
I’ve never been officially diagnosed, but I’ve felt pretty certain that I have binge eating disorder for a few years. For a long time I’ve been able to mask my bingeing becasue I also have issues with orthorexia, but now that I’m getting older and have more responsibilities I’m just frustrated that eating feels so out of my control. All I want is to go a single day without worrying about how much I ate, how to stop eating, or what I’m going to do the next day to make up for it. Does anyone have any advice for getting help or opening up to a loved one? No one in my life knows anything about my poor relationship with food and I worry that being honest about my binging will make them look down on me in some way. I know that sounds sort of childish, but I’d love to hear about others’ experiences in finding support :-)

2023.06.04 08:24 _darth_bacon_ I love Deerfoot
Let me just say that most roads in Calgary also have their pros but in my opinion deerfoot is by far the best. I try to use deerfoot as much as possible because I find it gets me to my destination in the shortest amount of time, and here’s why.
It's a 46 kilometre, multi-lane freeway that spans the entire city, from the furthest point in the north to the city's most southerly neighbourhoods.
It has no controlled intersections that create logjams and 90% of the time flows quickly and smoothly.
Sure, it could use some improvements. It was, after all, first constructed in 1971 - over 50 years ago. Many of the access and egress points are outdated, but there are plans in place to make improvements to them in the coming years.
The vast majority of the approximately 250,000 people that utilize the freeway every single day, are fantastic drivers. Yeah, there's a few bad apples, but they exist on every road in this city.
There are definitely far less potholes than many of the city's other streets and boulevards. I often drive from 64th Avenue NE to Glenmore Trail without encountering a single bump in the road that makes me think twice about driving on it.
Also... Deerfoot is not the new Autobahn as some would have you believe. For one thing, on many sections of the actual Autobahn, there is no speed limit.. and the left lane is strictly the passing lane. Period. And seriously, Germans strictly abide by this rule. Neither of those things are true of Deerfoot.
All that aside, do some people speed excessively? Yep, but there's people speeding excessively on every road in Calgary, all day long. This condition isn't unique to Deerfoot, it's only noticed more often because many people are unaccustomed and untrained to drive at higher speeds. This isn't the fault of Deerfoot Trail. It's the fault of government regulations regarding driver training.
I love Deerfoot Trail. I could stop using it and add an extra 30+ minutes to my drive while idling at traffic lights. But I prefer not to. I'll gladly "suffer" when traffic slows down a bit due to congestion.
Thanks for reading.

2023.06.04 08:24 AdAsleep2244 Do I have OCD or ADHD or it's just something that happens to people?
Ok, so maybe I'm overthinking it but I don't know what to do. I know that I shouldn't self-diagnose but at this point my brain is a mix of everything.
It's been a year since I think I have ADHD. I always used to joke about it but idk anymore. My doubts started because my sister saw a video about a woman who had ADHD and told me that I could have it. I saw the video and felt so relatable of what she was saying. All of my life I've been portrayed as the distracted one as the funny one because of how forgetfull she was, but the symptoms were beyond that. I hyperfixate on things on a large period of time, I try to know everything there is about it and I put that on top of everything, I cannot watch anything that doesn't have to do with it, when I wake up that is the first thing that comes to my mind (it can be a tv show, a book or like right now manhwas) and I just spend the whole day thinking about it and feeling the anxiety until I can finally be able to get to do that thing I'm obssessed with. I also can't focus on more than one thing at a time. My attention span is a joke sometimes if I'm not interested or don't put effort on it. I procrastinate until the deadline is close or until I feel extremely guilty (I have more symptoms but I don't really remember right now).
Those are some of the things that happen to me, and its been getting worse in the past 8 months. However, all of the people I had the trust to talk to about my doubts told me things like "it happens to everyone" or "even if you do have it what is the point of getting diagnosed?" I also talked to a psychologist and she told me that since I was good at school it meant that I couldn't have it because I should have presented obstacles. So I had that obsession since I started thinking about it. I saw videos, tik toks, EVERYTHING and sometimes thought I definitely have it, and others like I don't have it because it isn't exactly like this. It's frustrating because I also started thinking that I was making it up just to be interesting, to be different than other people, which I then got mad because I know it's something that affects peoples lives and is not what I should be thinking and it goes on loop.
I recently tried to let it go, because it affected me and made me think everything that I was doing like "am I doing it just for show?" "do I do this usually or just because I think it is ADHD" "I'm pathetic because I wanted to believe I had it just to get the attention of others" So I slowly stopped thinking about it so often. However, here comes another problem.
I read about OCD and Pure O. I never considered this because they always show it as being organised and clean or do things more than once, etc. But after researching I started question if I have it, more specifically Pure O. Maybe I just had a lot of obsessive thoughts, idk. But after I read about it I wondered if I had it.
To summarise there are different types of OCD, some are contamination, intrusive thoughts, rummination, checking, etc. The one I was related to was intrusive thoughts. Now, I know everyone has intrusive thoughts sometimes. But they specifically talked about SO-OCD (sexual orientation OCD) which is when something triggers a thought about you being gay when you always thought you where straight. It's not being gay what makes you freak out, but thinking something that might change your life and how that could affect how you always thought you were, also to not bee 100% sure about it. The thing is, that happened to me. Since I was like 13 years old I spent years, still do, questioning myself about being bi. I wouldn't mind if I were, but what always bothers me and makes me fall on a loop is that I think like okay, I am, but then I think about being with a woman and it doesn't feel right, like I can't see them as more than friends, so I say maybe I'm not. But then, I'm with a girl friend and suddenly think "what if I want to kiss her" or "what if I am in love with her" and makes me feel uncomfortable at the moment, and makes me think maybe I do but then it happens with another girl friend or even with a guy friend and makes all of my interactions with them uncomfortable if I don't find a way to actually know that I don't like them like that. It is something that happens often, is just that right now is not as uncomfortable and doesnt make me panic as much as before, so I can deal with it after a time.
Another thought that made me feel misserable was TOCD (Transgender OCD) It is when you start thinking that you are trans because of a triggering thought or when you are trans you thing you might be cis. It started because I love books that have bls or manhwas that have bls, and out of nowhere a thought came "i would like to be a man" I almost spirall at that, but let it pass. Then I saw in tik tok a comment like that and in response to a tik tok someone said something like "i thought that and then I became trans" just like that I started thinking "what if I am?" "What would I do?" "but I like to wear femenine clothes"(I know that doesnt have anything to do with it but that was an argument to try to tell myself I wasnt) I cried horribly, because it was in my mind for weeks, when I forgot about it, it suddenly came all over again, I tried to think if I actually like my body, if I had body dysmorphia or not, if I felt like a man or a woman. Again, I wouldn't mind if I were, it would obviously change my life but at least it would make me feel like myself. In the end it doesnt bother me now as much, I surely doubt if I am or not, but I can always try to let it pass or try to do something to distract me. I also have more that Ive thought about and make me uncomfortable to the point of disgust and make me panic but Im just naming some to hopefully dont make this longer.
Idk what I have, because I don't know if I have Pure O or Im just psyching myself into it. My brain makes me feel like I am. And what makes me doubt is that idk if it happens to people that dont have OCD but they just dont talk about it. Because, until a few hours I thought it was normal, and because it was related with my sexuality and gender, I never opened up about it.
Sorry if it was too much. Its my first time in reddit. I just needed to vent and maybe know if its normal or if I have to talk a psychologist about it.

2023.06.04 08:24 anonandrew1111 one after another
get ready, this is going to be a post long enough to qualify as a short story.
growing up i always had pets. when i was born we had two cats, who were relatively young, and two dogs, but both of those dogs died when i was a toddler or younger, i don't remember them. we got two more dogs, one when i was one, and another when i was four. i grew up with these animals. i loved them all very much.
when i was nine years old, my dog that we adopted when i was four died. rare disease. extremely sudden. i don't know the specifics but just that i was absolutely devastated, he was my dog, after all, i named him max, after max and ruby, because i was so little and i loved that show. all of my other pets continued to grow with me.
may 2021. one of my cat's health is declining. i am sixteen. she is twenty. june 2nd, she passes away in her sleep. i could get into more details but long story short, that was one of the worst, strongest feelings of grief i have ever experienced in my life, i cried day and night, i prayed for her to just come back, she was even in my dreams. i had never lost a cat before.
august 2021. a feral cat who refused to come inside that we had been taking care of for a year disappears. he just walked off one day and never came back. we still don't know where he went.
november 2021. my other senior cat, also twenty, the first one's twin, passes away. my mother took her to the vet and had her put down in the morning, and did not tell me until late that afternoon.
january 2022. my rabbit, adopted in 2016, has to be put down because she suddenly got an extremely aggressive cancer that was so bad she couldn't even hop anymore. we tried surgery first, it didn't work.
june 3rd 2022. my cat we adopted after our neighbors abandoned him in 2012 has to be put down due to numerous health issues. i buried him myself in our backyard.
august 2022. my dog we adopted when i was one, now seventeen, has to be put down.
six. six deaths in less than fifteen months. it's been almost a year since the last one but it is absolutely fucking haunting. in 2018 we adopted a cat, and in december 2021 we adopted two more, and we adopted a dog today. i have a dog still but he's getting old now too. sometimes when i'm with my cats i just can't help but break down imagining how one day i'll have to let them go. it's overwhelming. all the loss in such a short period of time. i genuinely would not wish this on anyone. it is not *like* losing a member of your family, it IS losing a member of your family, very literally. the trauma of all of this will undoubtedly stick with me for the rest of my life.
your pets still love you even if they're not with you physically. the bond between you is unbreakable; even death cannot stop it. i know that it's hard. but they're with you in spirit and they love you unconditionally. death is just a thing. they are the same as they always were.

2023.06.04 08:22 WeedsterBunny420 Brand New World by NinaBinaBallerina (Dramione fan fiction) *Contains Spoilers*
So…this dang sub has gotten me into many subgroups of romance that I did not think I would ever read. (And I thank you 🙏)
Omega verse stuff seemed weird to me, my first thoughts were nah, knot for me. And then I read some and was like “well, fu— me, I was wrong.” Then came monster romances. Absolutely not, I’ll never be into it! Well guess what folks…I’m in it to win it and I’m down to clown. I’m leaving my life behind and joining the people who search for Big Foot and the Lochness monster. Through networking with them I think I can find my monster mates and assemble my harem. 👹🐉👰♀️🐺🐙 But I digress…
Well, now here comes another addiction you lovely people were determined to add to the list: Draco and Hermione (Dramione👫) fan fiction. I was an avid HP reader back in the day and watch the movies during Halloween and Christmas seasons. Did my pottermore profile: house Slytherin, Lynx patronus, applewood with unicorn core wand. So I already had the signs of someone who would probably be into this, but I wasn’t. Fan fiction was never something I was into. Not that I avoided it, just wasn’t prevalent in my direct world and social circles. But then I found this subreddit…annnnnnnnd that changed. 👀 So I went to archiveofourown.org, signed up, waited to be approved and then logged on to start searching through Draco/Hermione stories. After searching through with my selected filters I came across “Brand New World”. (Side note, that website lets you download the stories as epubs so you can store it on your e-reader of choice) Now I came across this story after reading a few short ones, a couple I liked and others were immediately DNF’ed. (The two I really liked: All You Want by senlinyu and Ritually Yours by Violetemeralds)
Now back to Brand New World, 🛑there are TW’s in this so be advised (Dubious Consent, Forced cohabitation, Implied/Referenced Rape/Noncon, Past Domestic Violence) To start off here’s the summary of the story that’s given by the author: “Draco Malfoy had the perfect plan: use Polyjuice to turn into the Weasel, infiltrate Gryffindor tower, and steal the memories implicating his father. But the Golden Girl had to ruin everything by kissing him. Now Draco's developed a strange addiction for bushy-haired know-it-all mudbloods, and nothing but the best will do.” I was like ok, this sounds interesting let’s give it a shot. Right away I like that the author was able to keep tones and voices of characters pretty authentic to their original presentations in the book. I appreciated that this story didn’t start with Draco being immediately redeemable. He is very much the Draco we all know and hated out the gate: rich, snobby, bigoted, prat-hole. Buuuuut he’s also rich, exceptionally handsome and a bad boy…and who doesn’t love that? Hermione begins the story as the know it all wiz kid if albeit a bit ragged mentally and emotionally from the war and everything that happened. Her and Ron almost seem to start the story off as each others security blankets. the story starts with Harry Potter being dead, and tho it takes till the end, they don’t call him “the boy who lived” for nothing😉 Now, enter Draco Malfoy disguised as Ron. Hermione just got the news she’s selected Head Girl and when she enters the scene she goes to kiss Ron not knowing it’s Malfoy…and sparks indeed fly higher than a seeker. Well from there it’s a lot of cat and mouse, back and fourth, betrayals and redemptions, enemies to lover story. I really liked the storylines. I adored BAMF, sweary Mary, Hermione, she’s the best and she’s my hero. she goes through a bout of depression but bounces back to her badassery I appreciated the redemption arc for Draco, it seemed natural and more realistic than other stories I’ve seen. I think anyone who is into Dramione and also loves soap opera style twists and turns would enjoy this. Also angst lovers would probably dig it as well. The smut isn’t crazy or too descriptive but since the relationship dynamics were so engrossing I didn’t mind. Though one of my favorite steamy scenes is when Draco essentially astral projects himself to Hermione while she’s in bed, and convinces her it’s a dream so he can have his pretend wicked way with her Honestly even the chapter notes, we’re entertaining and amusing. One of my particular favorites: “Draco's toxic level is about to increase. He has a redemption arc, but he's still a spoiled asshole right now. So if you don't like toxic men, paired with eventual groveling, turn back now. For those of you who like fictional men with tons of red flags, enjoy!” I thoroughly enjoyed the HEA’s and would recommend others that are interested check it out.
Now I’m off to find even more Dramione fan fiction! 🤗

2023.06.04 08:21 Longjumping-Leg6358 My experience of attending an event yesterday… still got a long way to go
Yesterday I attended a day festival, had notified the organisers in advance had all the relevant documentation. However my experience at the entrance was not pleasant.
As soon as I reached bag search I declared my medicine. Fine at first, then the security guard saw my grinder and vape ‘can’t bring those in’. Then he asked what my medicine was again, I repeated medicinal cannabis and everything switched. I was told I was unable to enter, ‘we don’t know what is and isn’t prescribed’, that it wasn’t something allowed on site… this was in the open and lots of people were watching. The worst bit for me was when they took my medicine away from me, and opened it up in front of other staff and other festival goers.
I was calmly repeating the communications I had with the accessibility team (I began comms with them 2 months ago) the law, showing my prescription etc but it fell on deaf ears and caused me to have a panic attack due to how I was being treated despite having done everything right.
Another member of staff took us to the accessibility team to resolve the issue. And that team was lovely and appalled I had had this experience. They ensured me that staff should have known about medicines and they will escalate it.
I have had to deal with a lot of internal stigma about my medicine and yesterday didn’t help with feeling like I’m doing something wrong. I know I wasn’t but I am unable to even tell certain friends and family about my medication due to their beliefs and it’s taken me a long time to be comfortable even just medicating before I see them for fear they could tell.
I am neurodivergent and this is the only medication I have found that doesn’t suppress me to try make me ‘normal’. It stops me from becoming overwhelmed, and able to cope in social situations. It is a vital lifeline for me. Yesterday was my first time in 4 years attending event like this, I haven’t attended a festival this big and busy for 7. I have been a medical cannabis user for about a year now and it is a vital part of my daily life. My progress since taking MC is why I thought I would be ok. I did end up having a nice time but I was really affected by that incident. I never felt settled and was on edge all day.
I’ve never had any experience like this before, normally it’s just a ‘oh didn’t know you could get this on prescription’. Maybe I was naive to think I would always be welcomed. If one person in the chain of responsibility doesn’t understand or want to listen there will always be problems.

2023.06.04 08:20 Misfit-for-Hire Misfit's Sober Songs #4 - Impossible Year
Sober Song #4
Impossible Year - Panic! At the Disco The only song I associated with Panic! At the Disco for a long time was “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”. I felt that one was…just okay. Sure, it was fun to yell “closing the GOD-DAMN door”, but the song got overplayed like crazy and so I never thought much of the band. Years later, I came across “The Emperor’s New Clothes” in a fitness class and that led to me discovering I actually REALLY liked a lot of P!ATD songs. Not to mention Brendon Urie’s wildly impressive vocal range. 2018 turned out to be a rough year for me and I started referring to that as the “impossible year” because of this song. Little did I know how impossible 2020 was going to be for just about everybody.
The insanity of the early days of COVID and lockdowns definitely felt like “clouds full of fear” and “a beachfront of bad blood and a coast that’s unclear”. I was isolated at home and suddenly lost the ability to go out and do the several fitness activities I did at the time (martial arts and other classes), which are pretty important to mental health for me. The lockdowns and general chaos also separated me from the person I was trying to have a relationship with at the time. That situation was…ill-advised at best, but it still hurt to constantly miss them. The relationship was strained and ultimately broke. There was no “you and me” for me anymore. Cue “heartache and heartbreak and gin made of tears”. Except I never liked gin. I was definitely a vodka person. I would go to sleep at night and dream, but when morning came and the dreams ended, the nightmare resumed.
In general, I love the theatrical quality of this song and all the stormy imagery.
There's no sunshine, this impossible year Only black days and sky grey and clouds full of fear And storms full of sorrow that won't disappear Just typhoons and monsoons, this impossible year
There's no good times, this impossible year Just a beachfront of bad blood and a coast that's unclear All the guests at the party, they're so insincere They just intrude and exclude, this impossible year
There's no you and me, this impossible year Only heartache and heartbreak and gin made of tears The bitter pill I swallow, the scar's souvenir That tattoo, your last bruise, this impossible year
There's never air to breathe, there's never in-betweens These nightmares always hang on past the dream...
There's no sunshine... There's no you and me... There's no good times... This impossible year…
Here’s to better and sober years ahead. IWNDWYT. <3

2023.06.04 08:20 Whit3ReaperAGA I stoped feeling things for women
When I was 13 to 18 years old I remember those where the best times of my life, I used to have a lot of girlfriends or at least have something going with other girls,not to flex but I had luck with girls,I tended to easily get what I wanted and do what I wanted, even having 2 gfs at once and literally neither of them caring just because they really wanted to be with me,I used to love that feeling, feeling in love, feeling someone really liked me, the feeling of jealousy with my gfs, talking all day with them, or at least have someone to talk to when I was bored, but now I don’t know what happened to me, it’s like if all off the sudden I just lost interest in having serious relationships or have female friends to talk to all the time, when I go out with girls I will kiss them, flirt with them or even have sex with them but that normally is on the first second or third date,after that I lose complete interest in them, like if there was no interest to start with, I would just stop replying to them or just never text them again, like to let them know Im not interested anymore, and man does it suck, I just don’t get that love feeling anymore, don’ get me wrong I will always like women but feeling emotion for them is completely another thing, something I haven’t feel in a long time (3 years ago) right now I feel lost, I don’t know what to do anymore, all I want is to really start feeling that emotion again, butterflies or what ever you want to call it, at this point I feel how Im slowly becoming more and more depressed, more lonely and overall more miserable and tbh it really is one of the worst feelings someone can have and such at a young age it really is sad for me when I think about it, this is the first time I talk about this to anyone, because guess what? I don’t have any female or male friend I feel comfortable telling this to, I just live with it as it is, I hope my life gets a turn around and really hope to someday be happy again, meet someone who will make me see the beauty in life again.

2023.06.04 08:19 commonleaf78 i (20f) so over my "best friend" (19f) don't want to be friends anymore at all HELP
Please bare with me because I will be ranting about a lot of things lol. So I have been friends with this girl ashley for about 3 years now and for the past year she's honestly been annoying me pretty badly. I don't want to be as close of friends with her but it's hard because I am literally her only friend, and I have introduced her to pretty much everyone she meets/talks to. There are many things that she does that have honestly really pissed me off. First off I must add I go to college in a completely different state and she doesn't go to school and still lives at home. So, i do get a break from her which is relieving. Anyways, since being friends with her she has copied pretty much everything I do and what I wear. She buys the same shoes as me and the same exact clothes as me, and the same makeup and literally everything. I get really agitated about that stuff because I like being my own person and buying things that I love but it's annoying when everytime she just goes out of her way and buys the same exact things. Like today we went to buy bathing suits and I was like "oh i just got these two yesterday" and she immediately picked them both up and bought them. Let me know if that's like a normal thing but it pisses me off to the core. Another thing that pisses me off is she just invited herself to my house all of the time - like every single day - and sleeps over every day too, and doesn't even ask. I need my own space and alone time but it's pretty hard considering she just invites herself and I just feel awkward and rude making up excuses and stuff. Also i must add she is the messiest person ever and everytime she is over she completely wrecks my room and I have to clean up after her. Since she stays over all of the time I always make her food as well (srsly feel like i'm this girls mother). she always puts her straightener on my carpet even though I have told her 500 times not to do that because it completely RUINS my carpet, not to mention it's literally a fire hazard lol. My carpet is ruined because of her. She is also the type to make me look bad and feel awkward whenever we are with boys..... which is actually so frustrating to me and immature in my opinion. As mentioned before, I go to school in another state everytime I come home she brings up people from our highschools drama (alot having to do with my ex bf and his new gf) which everytime i show no interest in caring or wanting to know anything because i have grown up and don't even live there half the time anymore, plus i have a new boyfriend. I think she does that on purpose to like make me feel bad about myself or something because i don't know what other reason it would be.... another thing, as mentioned before she doesn't go to school and still lives in our hometown but every single time someone asks her where she goes to school, she says the same school that I go to and tells people she's in the same sorority as me. I went to this school to get away from all those people I went to HS with and to start a new fresh chapter in my life, and she is constantly telling me how she wants to move in the same apartment as me even though she literally isn't even planning on going to school there. I just feel like I can't catch a break. And she also takes so many of my clothes and I haven't seen them since. She is crazy messy and alotttt of my clothes are just scattered around somewhere in her house and I never get them back. She tried selling a pair of my shoes on poshmark- only reason she took the post down was because I saw it and was like wtf???? So she gave me them back, and then the next day of course she sleeps over my house and she just puts them on and wears them to work???? And here we are back to square one, I don't have them again lol. She also tells her ex bf like stuff that I tell her but over exaggerates it and makes me look bad, so now I feel like i can't even tell her anything. Ugh. I just don't want to be friends with this girl anymore but really don't know what to do as I am literally her only friend and have been there through it all, I just don't feel the same. Please let me know your thoughts and what I should do about this and lmk if i'm being dramatic lol.
-forgot to add that i'm simply a convenience to her because when she had a boyfriend she never had time for me or ever asked to hang, and when we did he would always have to be there 🙄

2023.06.04 08:19 hesitant--alien Recap - MBMBaM 662: The Consequence Race
As table setting, I haven’t listened to MBMBaM in three years, give-or-take, so I have no clue what the modren era (😎) of the show is like. However, I
have been hate-listening to a movie podcast enough that I’ve actually turned a corner into liking it, so I feel spiritually ready for this. Plus I’m a little drunk, which has never been a bad decision for anybody ever.
0:00 - I’ve always kind of disliked the intro, especially the “cool baby” part, and sadly that has not changed with time.
0:20 - First time hearing the new theme song, which is fine if a little twee for my taste. I weirdly hate how they deliver the “1, 2, 3, 4” up top, but that’s just nitpicky. We can’t all be DeeDee Ramone, you know?
1:10 - Introductions. Travis introduces himself as “noted intellectual and middlest brother”, and Griffin just says “…And I’m Griffin… McElroy”. I didn’t laugh, but I did actually find that slightly funny, so I’m optimistic for how this goes.
1:35 - Justin has invented a new game that he wants to play called “Simply the Guests” where he tells them who guested on a celebrity’s podcast and they have to guess the celebrity. Travis points out that the title is a touching tribute (to Tina Turner, he clarifies a few seconds later) and there’s a bit where Justin and Griffin pretend not to know she died that Justin interrupts with a parody song. Is this too soon? I can’t tell, but I also only get my celebrity death news from Simpsons memes.
2:31 - I’ve had to pause and restart enough times that I’ve realized how shitty the web player is, since I have to click like three times before it registers as being on the page and actually trying to play instead of just highlighting the button, and if I try to click the 15 second rewind button it usually skips to the ~11 minute mark right above the button. However, I refuse to actually download the episode because if I do that, Jesse Thorne wins.
2:38 - My voice teacher would
not approve of Justin’s technique.
2:58 - Justin only has one round prepared, but expects it will take longer than they expect. Griffin rightly questions if it’s actually possible to play this game based on the information that will be provided. Travis says that sometimes when he comes up with a game, it’s like when you start off at level 1 fighting Sephiroth and die, but it just takes you to a cutscene and is all part of the game. I’m struggling to think of games he’s come up, which is maybe a metaphor for how I never finished FFVII. Justin says it should be easy if their heads are on a swivel, and 50-50 if they’re half paying attention.
4:30 - Justin is giving the guests in order as they’ve appeared: Billy Ray Cryrus, John Carter Cash, Billy Bush, Albert Pujols. Griffin laughs and makes a joke about how his head is on a swivel but it hurts, and I’m shocked and a little disappointed that it wasn’t a joke about how one of the greatest Cardinals of all time has a name that’s pronounced “Poo Holes”.
5:00 - The next guests listed Adam Carrolla, Clint Black, and Gary Busey. Travis incorrectly guesses Blake Shelton. Justin says Katie Couric was the next guess, and Griffin’s postulation of Kevin Sorbo is apparently pretty close.
6:10 - Dr. Drew is the next guest. Travis asks if they would be willing to guest, and Justin says he likes to think they’d have a nice long talk about it. Griffin guesses Randy Quaid. Justin neither confirms nor denies, but instead finishes listing the guests - Sharon Stone, Martin Short, Mike Lindell (the MyPillow CEO), Jim Brown, and Anthony Fauci. I actually kind of like this game, because what the fuck?
8:40 - Justin says he’ll give them an episode title for any celeb mentioned. Travis picks Sharon Stone, who covered “Pandemics, Social Justice Movements, and Animal Actors”. Griffin picks Pujols, who covers “Baseball, Downs Syndrome, and Living the American Dream”, and asked if there were other baseball players on the list.
10:05 - Justin admits he skipped Jimmy Morris because he didn’t know who that is. I didn’t either, but I have the power of Google and in the time it took him to explain why he was skipped, learned that he starting playing for Tampa Bay Devil Rays when he was 35 and
The Rookie was based on him.
10:30 - Travis and Griffin discuss “Sorbo adjacent” celebrities and Justin scolds them for not talking to each other, saying that’s what a podcast is and that he’s trying to do a podcast. To paraphrase a joke from Jon Gabrus, it’s three straight white men talking, we already know it’s a podcast.
11:30 - Travis suggests Dennis Quaid, since he has a strong connection to baseball and Christ. Griffin agrees and Travis is in fact correct. Ironically, that means that Jimmy Morris was probably the most helpful clue, since Dennis Quaid starred in
The Rookie. Justin offers a bonus for naming the show, and says it’s something with “Dennis”. Griffin accurately guesses “The Dennissance”.
13:45 - Justin mentions Morris was the titular rookie, and claims that people forget Dennis Quaid. They discuss the Quaid siblings a bit and advise Dennis to get back in the podcasting game.
15:15 - First question of the episode: “My boyfriend and I were looking for a bar before your Columbus TAZ show and walked by one that looked empty and not our vibe, but it had tinted windows so it was hard to tell. We walked to another bar and inside the door person flagged us down and said someone was looking for us. We were already inside this other bar when the woman who was working at the first bar said she saw us looking in and said “Please come into my bar - we have cheaper drinks. We were confused and startled and decided to stay at the bar we were already at, but we weren’t sure if we regretted it because this person went to the effort to chase us down half a block, cross a busy street, went through a revolving door to get to us. Also, the drinks at the bar were expensive. Should we have gone back to the other bar instead?” - Confused in Columbus. Not to brag, but I’ve been to a lot of bars in my lifetime and can say with some confidence this didn’t happen.
16:05 - They immediately answer that, no, they should not have gone back to the other bar. Travis accurately points out that weird pursuit aside, if they have that little business then 100% of the focus would be on them. Griffin thinks they would have had a tremendous amount of power and would get their drinks immediately, and the bartender might have cool stories. They discuss how bad the design of this bar is that it’s impossible to see inside, both because they crave attention and so that someone will notice in case they go missing.
18:45 - Travis says if he ran a restaurant across from another restaurant, he would go up to patrons at the competitor and try to lure them away. Apparently Tom Green did this with pizza delivery as a TV show, and Justin thinks he would have Shark Tank’d it if it was a viable option.
19:36 - Travis says Tom Green would’ve probably called it “Shart Tank”. I laughed out loud.
20:00 - Griffin says in Austin they basically have to have barkers for the various bars given the amount of competition for foot traffic and Justin thinks they should just go for hyper-local advertising.
21:00 - Travis offers Griffin an investment opportunity, claiming he needs angel investors. Justin is incensed that he isn’t offered the chance, and Griffin says it’s because he has no money but maybe his “crypto shit’s gonna pay off some day”. Justin says he doesn’t have “crypto shits unless I’ve been eating cryp-tacos” (Griffin pitches crypto-salsa) and that Superman hates cleaning up Krypto shits.
21:44 - Travis points out that Superman named his dog after a thing he hates. I swear this had to be a Seinfeld joke at some point, since the two things I know about Jerry Seinfeld are (a) he loves Superman and (b) he’s not funny. Actually, I know a third thing, which is that he dated a 17-year-old when he was 38. Anyway, fuck that guy.
21:50 - Travis pitches having a long stretch of connected bars by buying all the existing bars and knocking down the connecting walls. Griffin and Justin point out that’s essentially the Disneyland model, and Justin mentions the Goofy sour balls.
21:51 - I Googled “Goofy sour balls” and thankfully it was a real candy. Griffin indignantly says that they stopped making them and that “Goofy took his sour balls away”. Travis says “He washed them” and they ignore him. I laughed out loud again, man’s really winning me back. They continue on this riff, making more and worse versions of the same joke.
24:07 - Question 2: “I’m enrolled in summer college courses. In one of my classes, a guy in front of me likes to stretch backwards over his chair with his eyes closed. His head basically ends up right on my desk and he will breathe in my face. I’ve had to move my laptop to stop him from laying on it. Am I the weird one for staring at the guy as he disrupts all my belongings and my personal space? He does it more than five times a class. It’s very awkward and makes it hard to focus on the lecture. Should I say something? Help me brothers, how do I stop this stretching bandit from stealing my peace of mind?” - Cramped College Co-Ed in Canada.
24:57 - Justin has an immediate suggestion. I assume it’s the actual solution, which is to say something like an adult or just switch seats, but nope, it’s the old chestnut of put some jelly on it. Griffin suggests surprise massage. Travis clarifies that they’re definitely ignoring the “excuse me, could you not do that” option, which Griffin confirms because it’s not very funny. This takes me back to when I used to regularly listen, since part of the driving force for me stopping was the sheer number of questions that could be solved by two seconds of slightly awkward conversation. I totally get it, social anxiety is a bitch and I’ve absolutely been there, but the lack of funny kinda stems from the question. They all agree, and Travis suggests adding broken glass to the jelly.
26:57 - Griffins goes back to the massage suggestion, with “dual percussive massagers”. Justin suggests hovering over them and saying “There’s my sweet boy” and Travis suggests a “little kiss on the forehead” which, thankfully, they immediately shoot down. Still, I’m uncomfortable.
28:00 - Justin points out that, if someone actually followed the advice they give, the problem would be solved, it’s just a question of consequences. There’s some more discussion of the Quaids but my spirit is a little broken and I can’t bring myself to rewind to accurately transcribe any of it.
29:43 - Money Zone: Travis says, “Well Justin,” and Justin misidentifies him as Griffin. So far, hardest laugh of the episode. The ad is for Zocdoc, which Justin mispronounces a
lot. I assume any service that advertises on a podcast is actually just a money laundering scheme, medical stuff doubly so, but it does remind me that MaxFun podcasts are the only ones where I can tell the ad copy was done in a single take with no edits. I admire it, in a way.
32:45 - A MaxFun ad for “Just the Zoo of Us”, which is apparently a podcast where they rate animals on their “effectiveness, ingenuity, and aesthetics”. It kind of worked on me, which is to say I’m debating the merits of getting a Zoobooks subscription as a childless woman approaching her thirties.
33:30 - A MaxFun ad for “Feeling Seen”, where the editor likes to play the game of taking a sip of coffee anytime the guest says how good a question is, how smart the host is, or cries unexpectedly. I cannot stress enough how much this makes me not want to listen. I don’t even have anything snide to say, I’m just genuinely put off by it.
34:19 - Griffin introduces the Wizard of the Cloud: How to “Talk Nerdy” to someone, which is meant to help you talk to the “cute nerd in your science class” by becoming more adorkable to them. Justin and Travis are disgusted by the word “adorkable”, which feels like a real split with their brand of appealing to mid-2010s Tumblr users.
36:00 - Travis points out that this article presupposes that nerdy people only want to be seduced with nerdy things, and will shun all other romance. The original pickup line is “Are you a carbon sample? Because I definitely want to date you. If you’ve seen The Big Bang Theory, you already know science and physics nerds are the best” Travis punches it up with “I’ve got a theory that we should Big Bang.” Currently he’s batting a thousand for me.
36:55 - Wikihow asks “Can math be sexy?” They talk about how sexy 8 is and Travis makes a 69 joke, so I retract my previous statement. There’s a gross astronomy-based pickup line saying “Do you mind if my comet enters your solar system” and “Hey, nice asteroids”. Mercifully, no “Can I touch Uranus?”
38:30 - More bad pickup lines, now about computers. Apparently “You’re hotter than the bottom of my laptop” is a good come-on. The video game lines are equally impressive, and Wikihow recommends that distracting gamers away from their games is easier said than done. These are more sexually charged than before, but no more clever.
43:30 - We’ve arrived at
Star Wars. Wikihow says “Jedis are tough nuts to crack, so you may need to use the Force to woo them effectively.” It’s been a while, but I’m fairly certain Jedis aren’t allowed to fall in love and that’s kind of a whole thing with the prequel trilogy. Also, are we not doing phrasing anymore? Cuz Jesus, they should take a second pass at that.
43:46 - Wikihow suggests several “Yoda-approved pickup lines”, and they do some bad Yoda impressions like “pull down some trim, you will” and “wet, you will get”. This is apparently a thing they’ve done before called “Clipping Yoda”. Justin makes a “something something something, I thought they smelled bad on the outside” joke.]
46:08 - They discuss the
very limited situations when the suggested “I find your lack of nudity disturbing” is acceptable, then move on to the
Lord of the Rings lines which are equally questionable. Travis brings up the theory that Frodo doesn’t know Legolas’ name, and now I wanna rewatch LotR.
50:09 - Justin suggests coming up with their own lines, which results in “You make me feel like John Rhys-Davies in
Sliders, cuz I wanna climb in those holes” and Griffin looking up “nerd movies”.
51:40 - Question 3: “My bank has been advertising a home ownership service to help folks buy and sell homes. I usually ignore them, but this time they’ve been offering a chance to win a flattop grill package with a $100 gift card to a very expensive butcher. I’ve been really wanting to get my dad a new grill. Brothers, I have no way of buying a house, let alone sell one. They’re contacting me, trying to help me buy a house. How do I explain to them I’m only entered to maybe win the grill and have no interest in the service?” From the Poor Hopeful in B (?).
53:00 -
First of all. Second, they suggest the asker (a) admits they were only in it for the grill or (b) saying they have a budget of $750 for a furnished home. It devolves into a riff about Bobby Flay and pitches for “Flay Bobby Flay” and “Bob Bobby Flay” to see if he floats.
56:15 - Plugs for stuff and the end of the episode.
Closing Thoughts: I actually enjoyed that, although with a lot of stopping and starting to write this. Also anyone who likes Clipping Yoda may also like Action Boyz, because pedophile Yoda is a surprisingly rich vein to mine. I don’t think I’ll ever actually pick up listening again, since I have about 280 episodes of Off Book to get to first and this whole recap has made me really contemplate my mortality, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it

2023.06.04 08:17 karasuuchiha Part 2 Moass Today or Moass adoption tomorrow
2 Decentralized Finance MOASS Adoption
For MOASS DeFi Adoption we have
@Loopring! which first step is bringing CEX Crypto into the DeFi world of Gmerica🏴☠️! Now to quote our DeFi Partner Bryon :)
“We’re at a major inflection point. Centralization failures left and right. Exchanges + lending platforms losing customer funds. Banks failing because of centralized planning. Judges + courts ruling that if you store your funds on a centralized platform, you’re giving up ownership of those assets if the company fails. Everything is pointing towards crypto. Everything is pointing towards DeFi + self-custody as the future. The world will move to self custody as they learn this is the only way to truly own their hard earned assets. The timing couldn’t be better for our upcoming major Block Trading feature. Access the worlds best liquidity from the comfort of your self-custody wallet. Then experience everything else Loopring L2 has to offer once you’re there. Dual Investments, Staking, Trading, NFTs, Gaming. A true CEX-like experience without having to give up custody (ownership) over your assets. @loopringorg is building the future to enable the world to be their own bank from the comfort + security of their self-custody (self-owned) wallet. Now is the time - this next crypto bull market will pull the world into crypto and we’ll be ready🫡 Step 1: ✅bring CEX users over to DEX Step 2: ✅build the best one-stop shop ecosystem that allows you to #BeYourOwnBank so you never have to leave” Those who are use to a system of lies and thievery with manipulation, where CEXs, Banks, and Brokers don’t actually have your coins, cash, or stocks, will get to see what it is to truly #BeYourOwnBank and to #OwnYourOwnAssets, as the CEXs, Banks and Brokers fail, the flight from all of centralized finance and to secure transparent DeFi will cause a rally of a life time. All 4 paths for MOASS/MOASS adoption feeds into each other, the whole gaming economy of Gmerica🏴☠️ does! That’s our DeFi MOASS Adoption!!! Building the best Crypto Smart Wallet and DeFi Trading Exchange in the world!!!!! (What’s extra interesting is Loopring now has
Block Trades, well seemingly inconsequential overall beyond offering an even better experience on
Loopring what happens when a CEX exchange starts selling the DeFi tokens from their treasury (which is likely not enough to cover the accounts they custodian for) to Truly DeFi wallets?!?!? ;)💎🙌🏴☠️🚀🚀🚀🚀) Loopring also has another trick up it’s sleeve when it added $Pepe, I’m extremely bullish on its prospects when more and more holders jump in, tho it has trillions of coins, that’s not a bad thing it’s actually great for BILLIONS of users :) atm there’s around 100k Holders keeping $Pepe at around .5B market cap, it hasn’t been listed on many CEXs still, so many opportunities in the land of Gmerica🏴☠️ I’m so grateful to be an 🦍 and GMErican the future truly is look bright for us all :) option 2/Loopring is also extra special because of its financial scalability, everything and every asset will run on loopring through
GameStops MP the determination of value will finally be fully in the direct hands of the Players :) PowerToThePlayers PowertoThePeople PowerToTheWorld GameStop now in Gmerica :)
3 NFT Asset MOASS Adoption

2023.06.04 08:17 SlowPerspective6969 I feel sympathetic but also frustrated and disrespected (rant incoming, might delete later)
So I have a friend, G, who has bpd. We’ve been friends for awhile and they haven’t been a bad friend although there have been struggles that we were able to talk through and resolve which I thought they handled well and with accountability.
Recently though I feel like things just keep going in circles in G’s habits and life. Not our friendship but for example G will make a life decision that I tell them will lead to something bad. G does it anyway or doesn’t take my advice on how to nip it in the bud and then I end up hearing about it and being there for the fallout. During the most recent incident I firmly pointed out that right after, they were literally doing the same thing again that lead to their first situation and I told them how to end it. G 100% agreed with me (verbally) but then hemmed and hawed about acting on my advice and I hate to say it but I bet they still haven’t done shit I said to do to this day and are in fact making the situation worse.
G keeps saying things like “I’m so stupid” “idk what’s wrong with me” etc. I’m not the type of person to sit there and call someone stupid especially if I don’t think they are but also I’m frustrated of the same preventable shit happening over and over. G will attempt or vow to make a change in the moment of frustration that can temporarily help their situations but I honestly don’t see any processing and learning happening. It makes me feel like G doesn’t value my time or input in helping them deal with this stuff. So why am I here??
I don’t view friendships as transactional and I don’t expect anything in return for support, even when someone does something dumb. Even something I told them not to do. But this is literally over and over. I feel like I’m enabling this by continuing to show up and “support” but I also know they are hurting so I don’t want them to feel alone.
On the other hand, these are situations that I tell G how to avoid and G 100% agrees and supposedly understands. And then surprise, nothing changes, doesn’t take my advice, and we’re back to square one. I feel disrespected.
I also cannot figure out if/how to communicate this. I want to convey the seriousness but also stress that I’m not throwing the towel in. I just want to see G start making wiser decisions or at least ask for and act on advice more often. I don’t mind being there for the bad times but when they are from 1000% avoidable situations and when I’ve fucking been telling them what would happen since day one and when they admit they knew it would happen, it’s a different story. I love them but I’m tired.
This is mostly just to rant but if anyone has tangible advice on what to say/do next time this happens or how to address this, I’m open.

2023.06.04 08:17 justinwrite2 Criticize my first chapter please!
Totally new to this, would love critique on my first chapter. Give it to me real. I want to improve: this may just be a hobby but I love it!
What you see on Page One.
Read Seekers, until daytime fades to candlelight, For magic is found when ink breathes life to parchment, When bookbindings break and cradled words take flight. It’s the safety of cozying up near the warming hearth, And the rising steam from a wellworn mug It’s that smile when you turn the page in delight.
That cool little quote thing before a chapter starts that gives you background.
West of the Citadel Clouds, Bordering Mountain Pines and fickle Seashine Lies the renowned Port Cardica Where sailors sing and blight-born orphans dream.
Chapter 1
A Slip Away from Death
Like most boys, Jake chose snoring in the pews over memorizing the Church’s proverbs. A clear mistake, he realized, as the Pastor's warning that “prayer follows danger” proved true. Hanging precipitously from the cliff’s edge, Jake recited every Creed he could remember in a futile attempt to appease any watching Gods.
“Prosper in his light, heathentry outside his sight,” he prayed, feet kicking in a desperate search for better footing.
It was a stowaways’ stanza, a tenet meant to share wisdom in ways the thickest of Port Cardica’s orphan dockboys could understand but, like most doctrine, its religious meaning was lost in translation.
Instead, the impoverished boys interpreted it as a practical warning to keep their heads down. Everyone knew the city’s Nobles revered the Book and claimed their prosperity was proof of Gods’ favor. Of course, beggars knew better: one downward glance at them revealed the decay fueling Cardica’s burgeoning wealth. Still, the poor learned to philosophize quietly. Someone was to blame for the hoveltowns, bird droppings, and penetrating seafood stink, and it better not be you.
For his part, Jake blamed himself. If he’d scaled the cliff wall with just a bit more care and a bit less haste he’d never have slipped. Instead he’d been forced to violently slow his descent, bruising bones and trading skin for friction on the vertical slope. It wasn’t a graceful maneuver by any means, but it beat falling hundreds of feet into the freezing current below. Thankfully, years as a guttersnipe had honed his reflexes – his gangly arms lacked the strength of a Swordsquire or the coordination of a Majpupil, but his daily dance with starvation demanded nimble fingers and quick wit.
That experience wasn’t paying off. As Jake shuffled his feet around to find better purchase, his hands slipped on the accruing condensation from the ongoing manastorm. His grip flagged, then failed, and he had neither the magic nor the strength to escape the weight of gravity.
“It isn't written, it isn’t written” Jake recited frantically as he began to plummet. The other dockboys would laugh at his superstition, but he didn’t care. Many claimed the Creeds were lucky, and Jake desperately needed some luck. Instinctively he spread his arms out as wide as possible, hoping to extend his reach and grip onto something.
By some miracle, It worked. The resounding sound of cloth ripping accompanied Jake as he slammed into the stone cliff, teetering to a stop. He hung like a rag doll, held up only by the hem of his matted, brown tunic; the cheap weavings had snagged and torn on an outcropping of stone.
“Aughhh” he mumbled.
He had survived, but everything hurt. Looking down to inspect the damage, Jake saw that his calloused hands were raw and pebbled, but a quick flex confirmed he hadn’t broken any fingerbones. Breathing a sigh of relief, he gasped at the telltale sting every kicked streetrat knew so well.
“Po-Poet’s hand,” Jake swore.
He grabbed the cliff wall to stabilize himself and, seeing as it had worked so far, continued reciting the few Creeds he could remember. A minute passed before he was able to think clearly, but slowly Jake got his breathing under control and continued his self-assessment.
Overall, he felt like things couldn’t have gone much worse. His cracked ribs hurt and continuing the heist would only exacerbate the damage, leading to scarring or permanent hobbling. Jake had seen many dockbeggars with similar injuries from fights or beatings, unable to walk straight without being plagued by the stitchers cough.
For this reason alone, Jake briefly considered giving up. He quickly dismissed the idea – it might be madness to continue climbing in his condition, but he’d come too far to back out now. He’d planned this heist for months, obsessively pathing his break-in while waiting for a night when security would be light. In retrospect, he’d been a fool; his overly cautious preparations left no possibility for a second attempt before his 15th birthday.
No, despite his injury tonight was still his best hope to successfully steal a Scriptors’ Grimoire before Binding Day. Failure would mean enslavement as a Ruddite or worse, full Automation. He’d just have to trust the windy weather to mute his movements and the harvest moons to light his way.
So, teeth chattering with cold and fear, Jake resumed the ascent. His ribs sang in agony as he put one hand in front of the other, slowly turning small divots into handholds, footholds and leverage. Each bouldering movement made him wince, but over the years he’d honed the art of turning sweat and grit into capillary action. He’d had no other choice; richmen shared a passion for building impenetrable estates, forcing thieves to develop an unshaking hand at scaling them.
Five painstaking minutes of climbing later and Jake regained his original position. Salty sweat matted his brow and stinged his eyes but he persevered. He blinked slowly to clear his vision and shuffled his feet left over right, shivering his way across an inch-wide protrusion. Just a few meters above him stood the lip of the granite outcropping and access to the marble fortress built upon it. Jake tasted copper as he bit the inside of his cheek in anticipation – If the heist went well he’d finally change his destiny and be able to swear upon the Sermon’s Book on his own terms.
But first he had to finish the climb. He knew the manor’s sentries rotated hourly, eyes glued to the sky as they watched for flyingmen and attacks from above. He also knew that all these guards would be literate, but none especially gifted. After all, no one powerful enough to be a Writer would stand watch over another man's fortune. The chartered Maji Wordlings, on the other hand, could easily detect Jake if he hadn’t planned for them in advance. He chose tonight because it was the season’s Lenting, meaning the majority of Maji would be in communion until the sun rose.
“What is written” a gruff voice proclaimed, startling Jake.
It was muffled by the wind, so it took him a moment to realize it was coming from directly above him. Jake craned his neck and peered up; to his horror he could see the silhouette of a guard's shadow on the cliff wall.
Petrified, Jake hugged his body to the cold granite, hoping the darkness of the windy night would hide his form. His entire plan hung on the simple thesis that in a world of magidetectors and magflight, no one would expect an unbound to scale the walls. Great in theory, but what if a guard just happened to look down?
“Is Foretold and Forbidden,” another voice chanted, completing the customary greeting. “All safe on the watch?”
“All is safe and silent, as usual,” the first man grunted.
“Don’t sound so upset,” the second laughed. ”We chose this job because it’s easy, remember? No more treading through the mud, no more war with those blasted barren beasts and their infernal warlocks.”
“That’s true, althou..”
The men’s voices were swept up in the wind as they paced further down the stone perimeter. They hadn’t seen him, but, just to be safe, Jake stayed low until he could no longer hear the stamping of metal-toed boots on stone. Then, fingers white and aching in trepidation, he waited another 30 seconds.
Finishing his count, Jake peaked over the edge. It took all the courage he had earned as a thief and every bit of boldness he had learned as a beggar, but he managed it.
The coast was clear.
Jake carefully pulled himself over the ledge before falling into a crouch. He looked around and exhaled painfully, releasing a breath he had not realized he was holding.
In front of him lay an outdoor walkway culminating in a rippling fountain circumscribed by five basalt pillars of progressively increasing height. Everflowing torches adorned each of the columns and burned despite the rain, casting rings of golden light throughout the open atrium. At the foot of the fountain rose a gold-leafed speaker's lectern, a pure white sculpture of the Sermon Book chiseled open upon it.
Jake stared openmouthed at the power radiating from the fountain before abruptly coming to his senses. Without a doubt this artifact was a Magisma, an extremely expensive construct meant to amplify its controller’s magic. Leaving it outside was a casual display of wealth and power meant to shock and impress, but Jake didn’t have time for that.
Instead Jake blended into the shadows cast by the monument as he sneaked his way across the grounds. After passing the walkway the torchlight dimmed considerably, forcing him to hobble his way in the dark. A bright flash startled him, but the acid smell of tobacco that accompanied it indicated the guards he’d seen earlier were smoking to pass the time. Realizing they were distracted, Jake sped up and almost tripped on the jutting crystals of an emerald rock garden. Embarrassed, he paused to listen for anyone approaching.
Everything was quiet except for the constant pitter, patter and hiss of rain from the manastorm. It seemed his home-invasion had so far gone unnoticed, but the hair on Jake’s neck rose. An unsettling feeling of being watched set in and every few seconds he reflexively looked over his shoulder.
Finally, after what seemed like forever, he made it to the Manor wall. Keeping to the shadows, Jake hid behind the tallest thing he could find; a towering yellow flower with leaves the size of platters that he had never seen before. Staying low, he muddied his knees and toes on the damp ground, but thankfully the foliage protected him from the rain. As his eyes adjusted to less light, Jake noticed all sorts of exotic fruits surrounding him; blood red berries in the shape of teardrops levitated inches off the ground, while turquoise bubbles floated up from vibrant greenery, collapsing quickly into little orange stones that looked remarkably like candy. Jake’s belly growled at the idea of tasting these treats, but he dismissed his urges. Stanzas warned that “those who leave riches unread become starving men” but Jake knew hunger well. He would jeopardize his mission by eating something that might make him sick tonight.
Instead, he focused on gaining entry to the manor. Searching his surroundings, Jake located the iron front doors about 6 meters to his right. They were guarded by life-like statues on either side, one a Korai of the Poet, hand outstretched in greeting, the other a two headed wolf, with both snarling maws crying out to the moons. The door itself was blacked with age and inscribed by a massive oval spellwork that glinted in the light cast by a hanging lantern.
Listening closely, Jake groaned at the buzz of silverscripting coming from the insignia. Every thief knew that spellworks grew more powerful over time, and anything audible would be too powerful for any Unbound to lockpick.

2023.06.04 08:16 AdviceAlwaysNeeded21 Feeling guilty for not giving my Mil grandchildren
Me (F28) and my Husband (M36) have been together since 2014, married since 2016. We were long distance for 2 years before we got married, and due to the long distance, culture differences, and severe abusive childhood trauma (on my side), we've spent a long time working on our marriage and ourselves and enjoying life with traveling and discovering. It's not been an easy or quick road, and we are still actively working on things in order to keep our marriage healthy. The beginning of our marriage, we definitely didn't know how to deal with things or how to process things in a healthy manner, it led to unhealthy habits (a lot of fighting, blaming each other, and not working as a team).
Due to this, we've always decided that kids were not in our immediate future (as in, the next few months, maybe the next year), until we feel more ready and mentally settled. I have felt settled with this desicion, if it weren't for one thing.
My mother in law is essentially dying. She currently has multiple types of cancer, as well as the start of heart failure, and she's not looking too good. I love this woman so much, she's been more of a mother to me than my own was (long story, NPD parent, haven't spoken to her since 2011), and I adore her. I know she wants grandchildren, though she has never applied any pressure or even ever asked about when we're having children. She's always stated she's been fine even If we never had any.
Regardless, I know she'd be thrilled to have them. And it makes me so immensely guilty that we arent in a place to give them to her. I want chidlren yes, but I dont want to have my children go through any of the abuse I did, and I'm determined to stop any generational trauma. But it kills me that she may not ever know them.
She's been battling cancer for years, due to the Li Fraumeni gene she carries, and there's little to do. Her recent diagnosis means she may not have much longer to live.
Every day I feel a heavy guilt for not having children sooner, and I don't know how to get over it.
Tl;dr: MIL whom I adore may not have time left, our marriage is not quite ready for children, and I feel immense guilt that she may never know her grandchildren

2023.06.04 08:14 BeCleve_in_yourself Disadvantages of being pro-choice?
Male, 29 here and just for the record (this is only partially relevant to the issue here):
- have been single for 3+ years now
- only had 2 relationships (1 year long and 3 year long, respectively) in my life
Now I'm not too desperate for a relationship right now but where I'm from, my social circle has been putting a lot of pressure on me to get into a relationship. I'm not opposed to the thought of a relationship either, it's just that I'd tried a bit of online dating in the past but due to the flaky, instant-gratification tendencies of most people, I'd given up because I felt it wasn't worth the trouble. Online dating because I'm an introverted guy and don't get out enough to meet new people.
So anyways, a lot of said people from my limited social circle have asked me about my previous relationships since they were surprised someone like me was able to get to experience even two. And they figured a pattern there which was- I could have still been with either of the girls if I'd "played my cards right". See, my thing is- I'm pro-choice. On the very first day of getting in a relationship, I make it extremely clear to the other party that
they need not feel forced to be in a relationship with me and if at any time they wish to leave, they're free to pack up and leave. Having said that, I'd appreciate if they parted with some feedback so I could improve myself and ensure it doesn't happen in the future but if they don't want to share it, that's fine too. And I don't promise something I can't deliver. Indeed, both my partners upped and left one day, however the feedback was vaguely positive both times. The last one I still remember was something along the lines of, "You're too good for me."
Now I've been "accused" by said people in my social circle of not having even tried to convince them to stay. They told me they were shocked that I'd let my ex leave after 3 years of being together, just like that. In my defense, I told them that I had politely asked her to reconsider once but she took her time and informed me that she wanted out so I let her go. Of course it wasn't easy for me! Feels like a spear driven through my heart but when I love someone, I'm ready to go through any pain to see them happy and if their happiness lies in breaking up with me, that's not too high a price for me to pay. However, everyone who I have told this to, in my social circle, disagrees with me and has been telling me that it's okay to be pro-choice but what I'm doing is too much, I should have convinced or persuaded them to stay and that no couple should breakup over small things; these can be resolved with dialogue. I, on the other hand, feel like I don't have the right to influence someone's decisions like that because that violates the sanctity of agency over their own life. I know I don't appreciate someone trying to gaslight me, hence this post.
I just want to get some more opinions on who is right here because the past few days, I've been thinking a lot about this because obviously, this issue is going to concern my future relationships (if any) as well and I'd like to know if I'm in the wrong here.
