2023.06.05 03:08 AssumptionFuture534 Parent posting pre transition pics of their minor kid
A friend is dating a woman with a trans daughter (13). The woman has asked me questions about lgbtq issues because she doesn't have anyone in her life to ask (I'm cis lesbian). My best friend is trans so I've been able to help her with resources I know about as well as asking my bff.
Recently, on fb, she has been posting memories of her daughter and her brother from various times in their life. I told her posting pics pre transition is like deadnaming. She said it didn't matter bc her daughter isn't on fb. I told her it does matter for a variety of reasons. It tells cishet folks on her page that's ok and her daughter has lost her mind when she has been misgendered and doesn't like pictures or anything with her dead name on it around the house so it's extremely disrespectful.
I asked my friend why his gf keeps doing it and he also said it didn't matter because she's not on fb and then double downed with "can't a mother have her memories?!" Yeah, sure. In private. I'm a mom and if my kid came out to me, I would try to do things that I know all the trans people in my life don't like. I'd certainly never, ever post a pre transition pic again!
This is doubly irritating bc the mother is a good ally in some regards...has gotten her gender affirming care, supports how she wants to dress and things like this, but just for some reason can't stop doing this.
They're Jewish and it's like if I posted some meme about jews on ig that wasn't great and said "oh, it doesn't matter bc they're not on ig anyway" It does matter! And you can't guarantee your kid will never see your fb.
I'm not sure how else to try to get them to see this is messed up. You can't really ask the 13 year old for consent bc there is still the parent/child power dynamic. And I don't like that they aren't listening to a member of the lgbtq community about an issue that impacts trans people, during Pride month no less.
Ideas? Thoughts?

2023.06.05 03:08 POSIC-and-proud Feeling like my F/O wouldn’t want to put up with me, might need support :/
I’ve been thinking about one of my F/Os all day. I’ve been daydreaming about spending time with him around the house, cuddling with him, just general ficto thoughts <3
I was having a nice time until I had to do the laundry. I was really overwhelmed, and ended up not being able to formulate complete sentences without a significant struggle (gee, thanks autism :/). Later, I was putting my dishes in the sink, and the sink dripped a little bit of water onto my hand. My reaction was a string of frantically-muttered “no no no”s while I rushed to get a paper towel to wipe off the singular freaking drip of water >:(
There were a few other small things that happened after that, and I’m currently taking some time to de-stress, but my whole thought process since those incidents has been “my F/O wouldn’t want me around when I’m like this”, and “I would be a burden to him”. I have another F/O who I know would be supportive, and my main ficto partner has repeatedly shown me compassion during episodes like that, but it’s a little worrying that I may not be able to expect that of this particular F/O, as well.
(While I can communicate directly with my main partner, thanks to System Stuff, I have no such line of communication with the F/O who this post is about, so my thoughts on his behavior are just guesswork at the end of the day)
In his canon, he’s pretty empathetic toward others, but at the same time, he has a bit of a temper with his family (he’s provoked violent fights before, and called people some really nasty names). It’s hard to explain, but I’ll try: while he definitely is a kind, understanding person deep down, he can still get pretty mean to those he’s closest with. He’s supportive in his own subtle way over some things, but over others, he’ll resort to yelling and/or hitting. I don’t believe he would hit me (although that could be wishful thinking). However, given that multiple other people have yelled at me before, I’d say it’s possible that he would yell too.
It helps a bit that this behavior is mostly because of the way in which he was raised. The rest of his family largely acts the same, so it’s probable that this is just generational conditioning that could be unlearned. When alone or not caught in a confrontation, he’s almost completely civilized, and seems to actually be one of the sweetest people in his family, if not his source as a whole! In fact, he’s so genuinely caring that he dies trying to save his brother’s life.
Still, some of his actions have me worried that, should I have such an episode in his presence, he’d belittle/talk down to me in an attempt to “fix what’s wrong with me” or whatever. I think he’d want to help, but wouldn’t know any other way besides insults.
I’m mostly feeling stable now, and this has given me a good opportunity to vent my feelings, although the insecurity over my dysfunction and his behavior hasn’t gone away. If anyone has any advice, please feel free to share!

2023.06.05 03:07 Salt_Blackberry_1903 Some appreciation for Elle me Dit/Emily by Mika
I found this one randomly in the song radio playlist for Alors on Danse, and it’s been on repeat for the past couple of days. I misinterpreted it at first, cause my French isn’t too great, but after a few listens, I started to really relate to it. Maybe a bit too much. 😅
I found the English version afterwards, and I thought it was really cool how closely the lyrics and the meaning match the original.
What do y’all think? It seems like there are a lot of folks who have grown up with Mika and Elle me Dit, so that rocks too.

2023.06.05 03:07 Numerous-Dimension53 DLC idea I just had
So, what if Nintendo made DLC for Tears of the Kingdom that takes place after you defeat Ganondorf. It could be an option on the Home Screen, kind of like master mode from BOTW.
I was thinking that this new game mode could be you earning rupees, scavenging for supplies, and searching for expert builders to help restore the entirety of Hyrule.
Not only was I thinking of fixing up old settlements such as Lon Lon Ranch or Akkala Citadel, but maybe even Hyrule Castle to. What I would love is for Link and Zelda to open up underneath the castle as a museum or memorial. If you could restore the path down to the sealing room and add exhibits along the way. Once you get to the room with the murals, someone could go over the imprisoning war, such as Purah or Paya.
This is something I would gladly pay $20 for.

2023.06.05 03:07 Hot_Subject_1338 StarFox Alternate Timeline Story Dialogue Part I: Bill’s First Adventure & Falco’s Transformation story
Fox “I like you better without your helmet on, Bill.”
Bill “Thank you Fox! But wondering to ask, how did you receive your merman form?”
Fox “Well I tried to go scuba diving at the different world, but got hit by a sudden wave and saved by a Prince of an underwater kingdom.”
Bill “Did you see anything while being underwater?”
Fox “Well had a tour of the kingdom before meeting a king, while Krystal discovered that the Corrupted Mayor had a stolen artifact hidden from the unaware townsfolk!”
Bill “Wow! Sounds like a great adventure you had…”
Fox “Hello General Pepper, is there any new missions for us?”
General Pepper “Actually there’s no mission objectives available, so you can just go to whatever you’re planning to do.”
Fox “I was thinking of bringing Bill along to see the underwater kingdom.”
Bill Grey “I don’t know if I should go with you and I might just drown when going there.”
Fox “Don’t worry, Bill! Andorf can open a portal for us and Slippy can give you a modified diving suit to wear.”
Bill “Well I guess I can come with you then…”
General Pepper “This will be your first exploration adventure to the underwater environment, so I will be waiting to debrief you later!”
Bill “Thank you General! Are you ready… Fox?” startled to see merman Fox
Fox “I’m already prepared and ready to go for a swim!”
Slippy “Hey Falco, how was the underwater excavation?”
Falco “Oh, we found some interesting artifacts at the underwater ruins, and Leon was helpful fending off those sneaky thieves!”
Leon “Happy to help out my partner and I’m still envious about your merman form…”
Female Lombax “I’m glad you were able to help them, my love!”
Leon “And I’m guessing you found your new beloved girlfriend from the enemy’s stronghold?”
Falco “Yes Leon! She does almost look familiar to Katt, but she is still perfect for me.”
Leon “If you’re done hugging her, how did you become a merman?”
Falco “Morning after visiting Fox at the Warlord’s floating fortress yesterday night, I took one of the dark-crafted smoke bombs from Maku’s apartment.”
Slippy “He brought five smoke bombs back from the visited seaside city. You must’ve taken one for personal reasons!?”
Falco “Yeah, sorry about that Slippy…”
Leon “So what happened after you took one of the smoke bombs?”
Falco “Well, I went to the beach shore near Corneria and was waiting for a few soldiers to arrive. Few minutes later as they arrived, I threw down the smoke bomb that released a transformation mist in a mile round radius.”
Slippy “What happens next?”
Falco “When the mist was released and spread out quickly from the smoke bomb, our uniforms were quickly shredded into pieces and we were instantly transformed into mermen. It’s like a sudden tsunami washing over our bodies as it twists and merges our legs into fishtails below our waists.”
Slippy “It’s just like what Maku described when he saw the human civilians transform into merfolk!”
Falco “That’s right! We couldn’t stand back up, but quickly crawled into the shallow water of the beach shoreline. Then, I used my functioning wrist communicator to call for transport to the Tower Headquarters.”
Leon “Did you ever have second thoughts before deciding to transform into a merman?”
Falco “Not really, but I did have an infiltration plan to get into the enemy’s underwater smuggling shipwreck stronghold.”
Slippy “Maku debriefed us about your situation and crazy idea!”
Falco “So moments later after Maku arrived at the Tower h.q., I explained my infiltration plan to the frustrated young wolf. Then one of the servants of the Shredder slipped a stealth sleeve on my right arm and buckled a slave collar around my neck.”
Leon “You wanted to look like a captured slave? Interesting…”
Falco “After being carried to a fountain at a high populated area in the city, I asked Maku and the silent servant to find a high hidden place to observe from.”
Leon “Guessing you don’t want them to be seen or the plan won’t work easily, right?”
Falco “Yeah, the Abductors will flee from capture when they walk into a big ambush!”
Leon “So, what happened next?”
Falco “With the General’s soldiers fake sleeping at the city, the Octillean soldiers came through the portal throwing dark magic crafted smoke bombs at the fleeing civilians. While they are collecting the transformed Cornerian victims, one of the Octillean soldiers found me already prepared and waiting in the fountain’s shallow pool.”
Leon “So he picked you up and carried you through the portal to the underwater stronghold?”
Falco “Yes, I was carried into the underwater smuggling shipwreck stronghold before the transformed Cornerian soldiers and civilians came through the portal to be sorted into different prison rooms.”
Leon “Okay, so what happened after that?”
Falco “After arriving at their underwater smuggling hideout, the dark Octillean mastermind recognized the enemy in front of him and appointed me as his observation guest. Good thing I didn’t get killed and I got my own private bedroom within the underwater smuggling shipwreck stronghold.”
Leon “I’m guessing you also met your new girlfriend while exploring the underwater stronghold?”
Falco “Yeah, but I’ll tell you that story for another time. Anyway, where did Fox went from here?”
Slippy “He went to Maku’s underwater kingdom with Bill, so they’ll be back at HQ later.”

2023.06.05 03:07 itsmeidea I cut off my best friend of 7 year because of her boyfriend
TL;DR!: I cut off my best friend of almost 7 years because of her controlling boyfriend, who basically put restrictions and limitations on our friendship because he doesn't like when she's not with him. Because of him being in so much control, we spent every night in (that we hung out) usually having drinks, or smoking and he didn't approve of it even though the reason we don't do what we normally used to do anymore because of him (she would usually have to go to his afterwards, and cut our hangouts short). I understood that our frienship wasn't healthy where it was and decided to cut her off over text message, and realized that this is a messy situation that I needed to get out of. She was really mad at me for it, but I also couldn't handle the constant ups and downs of her relationships and her dumping all of her issues on me about how terrible her is, just for her to flake on me for him the next day.
Me (21F) and my ex best friend (21F) have been like two peas in a pod since ouR freshman year of highschool. We would tell eachother everything, and we became like family to eachother. Im now about to be a senior in college and this year would have been our 7 year anniversary had I not ended it last week. In the last year of our frienship she got a boyfriend (21M)! I was super happy for her, but after a certain amount of time I was no longer hearing from her, she wouldn't respond to my texts and she got completely engulfed in her relationship to the point where she completely forgot about our friendship. What sucks about the situation, is that she would only reach out to me to vent about her boyfriend. But it honestly didn't sound like normal relationship things, her boyfriend is actually extremely manipulative, makes terrible comments about her body and emotionally abuses her. It got to the point where they would get into huge fights whenever we would hang out, and I wouldn't even want to hang out with her anymore because she was either absent-minded (texting him), or fighting with him because he was mad she was out with me. He's even driven her to the point of being suicidal, come to me for help and then completely ditched our plans to hang out with him the next day. Recently, we haven't been able to go out much or plan days together because she's so worried about pleasing him so a lot of the time we've hung out together we have drinks or smoke at my house. Recently, her boyfriend pointed out that it was pathetic what we did when we hang out, because she recently threw up because she drank too much and asked her if "this is what you guys think is fun?". And at that point I realized that no matter how much I dislike him and how he is with her, I'm not that great of a friend either and I wish we could go out more but she's so paranoid about going out with me because of him. I cut her off because I realized the friendship wasn't good for either of us as the problems in her relationship were taking a toll on me, as well as the activities we had previously done together in our frienship were non-existent. I sent her a text that night and let her know I did not want to be friends anymore and wished her the best, and she hates me now and is making me the bad guy. Am I wrong for cutting off the friendship? It's nothing like it was before, I can't rely on her and the only thing we do when we hang out is drink and smoke, and her issues with her boyfriend take a mental toll on me because I can't change the dynamic of our frienship because he has so much control of it. Was this the right think to do?

2023.06.05 03:07 carla-someone Extreme pain from knee injury
Back in January I subluxated my knee in cheer. I did rehab and it was feeling better. I tweaked it about three times since the injury doing random things (climbing onto a boat, someone bumping into me, etc) but each time it would just be sore for a few days and got better again with exercise and rehab.
A few days ago, however, I was playing volleyball with friends and it popped again. It was hurting a bit but I was doing exercises and it was feeling better. Then last night I was out with some friends and I leaned back and bent my knees and my knee just gave out and I fell. It popped again and I was trying to massage it. It was hurting but not insanely badly until around 2am when I started getting very painful shooting pains down my knee, calf, shin and ankle. My hip is also sore. The pain was so bad I couldn’t sleep the entire night. It was nonstop for about 7 hours until finally my dad decided to take me to the hospital. They took an X-Ray and nothing is broken, and I have to make an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon to get an MRI in the next few days. They think it might be a small tear because my kneecap is a little high, but not a full one because I can still bend it and put some weight on it. They prescribed me Percocet, but painkillers are honestly not helping much. I finally slept for about five hours, but the pain started up again when I woke up. It has been nonstop shooting pain for about 17 hours now. My toes and foot and also feel tingly which feel a little better when I try to stretch my hamstring and calf. My friend told me her cousin tore her ACL once and had very similar symptoms, so that’s what I am worried about. It’s not even so much the knee itself that is in so much pain, it’s the calf and shin that hurt so much.
Does anyone have insight on what might be going on? I’ll have more answers when I get the MRI, but I’m in so much pain I’m desperate for some answers. What should I do about painkillers not really working too?
Sorry for such a long entry, thank you for any suggestions or insight!

It’s not even so much the knee itself that is in so much pain, it’s the calf and shin that hurt so much.
Does anyone have insight on what might be going on? I’ll have more answers when I get the MRI, but I’m in so much pain I’m desperate for some answers. What should I do about painkillers not really working too?
Sorry for such a long entry, thank you for any suggestions or insight!
2023.06.05 03:07 London-Roma-1980 CONFERENCE MATCHDAY 1 PREVIEW
The time for figuring out conference strength is over. It's now time to figure out who the best is in each conference. In a way, this is a more important segment of the season, taking up 2/3 of the time and a majority of the games. From the MEAC Celebration Event to the Conference Tournaments, everything is on the line here.
And fortunately, the concentration of the top 25 in six conferences means we've got a lot of important games. We even kick off with a battle between two top 10 teams! Let's get to it.
*****
#6 Michigan State (9-3, 0-0) at #7 Michigan (9-3, 0-0). Michigan's struggle down the stretch, with two consecutive losses, leaves them behind their rival in the current rankings. But right away, they'll get a chance to fix it.
"Little Brother thinks they mean something right now, huh?" Juwan Howard joked. "We're ready for this. Forget about Big Ten, tournament seeding, ranking. We just wanna whup 'em."
Both teams faced off against top competition in the non-conference schedule, but Michigan holds the bigger upset, knocking off Duke in a stunning development. Michigan State, meanwhile, lost one of their three games with a short bench thanks to a brawl against Notre Dame.
"We're not doing that again if that's what you're asking," coach Tom Izzo said. "We're going to prove our might on the court by winning the game."

LINE: Michigan by 2
*****
In addition to the conference play, there will be two sets of non-conference games going on during this season. One is a series of exhibitions in the ACC, as the North Division, Charter Division, and South Division All-Stars play a round robin. The North draws from Boston College, Louisville, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse. The Charter draws from Clemson, Duke, NC State, North Carolina, and Wake Forest. The South draws from Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami of Florida, Virginia, and Virginia Tech. Each squad sends three players to the All-Star showcases.
In addition, the MEAC teams will play an 8-team "in-season tournament" called the Celebration Tournament. Opening matches and positions in the bracket were decided by random draw. Your performance in the tournament is the second tiebreaker (behind in-season head-to-head) for conference standings.

2023.06.05 03:06 stinkyspoiledtea AITA for thinking she’s crazy & blocking her?
For context, there is a lash lady I used to go to about 5 years ago, I went to her like 4 times total. She always gave me backhanded compliments that made me feel bad about myself so I stopped going, and then just stopped getting lash extensions overall because I hate the way they look on me.
This lash lady and I used to follow each other on IG but after I stopped going she unfollowed, and so did I.
Fast forward 5 years, I am now a fashion influencer with a 6-figure number of followers, and often up to a million views on my videos.
Today, this lash lady decides to repost a selfie video I took of my lashes back then after she did them in 2018, with my name with a heart next to it in the caption. She tagged me, and sent me a request for the “collab” feature so that this video would show up on MY PAGE. It was up for a few hours until I noticed, and when I did, I immediately blocked her.
Part of me feels like an asshole because I shut down her trying to rev up business in a bad economy, but another part of me feels like I’m not being an asshole because she was trying to use me for my following.
Idk why this is causing me so much anxiety, I just need to know if I’m in the wrong here.

2023.06.05 03:05 Express-Reindeer7806 Learning to ride a dirt bike/motorcycle
Looking for somebody local to the area that has some experience/interest in teaching a new rider. I’m a 26 y/o male about 5’9 125 and have always wanted to learn to ride so I finally decided to make this summer the time. Currently borrowing my coworkers beat to heck Yamaha 125 since I figured with my small size it’s probably a good spot to start. Yesterday after work I hopped on for the first time on my pavement street after watching countless “how to” YouTube videos. Familiarized myself with the controls and Figured out the clutch engagement point first and was actually able to shift up and down to third going probably less than 20 mph on my street and decided to stop on a high note. Want to get out again and learn proper riding technique from someone with the experience to show me the ropes instead of me just winging it and hoping for the best. Would be looking to meet up anywhere in our surrounding areas, have my own bike and helmet and would of course be willing to pay cash for your time! Any advice would be highly appreciated! Especially on how to practice before signing up for the safety course and going and buying my first bike. Thank you in advance

This way, we can do the “sourcing” part done for you and place you in a high-paying offer ASAP. We can’t guarantee done-for-you placement for EVERY single person who takes us up in the program gets placed. So because of this, I’m also going to give you… Free Bonus #2: My Done-For-You List Of Perfect Clients™This is a hand-picked list of perfect companies who need remote closers who are not are clients (at least yet, 😉 It’s a DFY list of small FB and Linkedin Groups as well as other segmented lists of perfect clients. How do I know it’s perfect? Because it’s the same exact list my team uses to prospect for our clients. So we know it works 😉 And remember: I’m already giving you copy & paste outreach messages so you can land a contract, fast. They’re the EXACT messaging templates I used when I got my first contract with NO experience. I sent 54 of these templates and got 5 offers within 7 days!Free Bonus #3: Sales 1o1 Crash Course™Strapped on time? If you invest TODAY, I’ll give you a special training series I originally created for Tony Robbins & Dean Graziosi. You can go through the crash in just a couple hours and know ALL the essentials to start remote closing or setting – NOW. Combine this WITH the rolodex + DFY lists, you could have a gig in as little as 7 days!BONUS #4: Ascension Masterclass™Remember how I was telling you these business owners HATE taking sales calls? Well, guess what’s the only thing they hate MORE than taking the actual calls? Managing the sales team. Believe me: This is the LAST thing these business owners want to do. And because of this, they’ll pay a hefty % of the profits to a sales integrator who can do this FOR them… The Ascension Masterclass™ is currently the ONLY training material that shows you how to go from closer → sales integrator.BONUS #5: Access To The Vault™It’s one thing for me to teach you all the tactics and sales techniques. But how much faster would you be able to learn it if you could see it in real time? In the vault, you will have access to personal call recordings and breakdowns of ME. That way, you can simply model my behavior to start making big money ASAP.BONUS #6: The Interview Cheat SheetSimply by using the copy-and-paste message + DFY list of clients I give you, you’ll sit back and watch as opportunities are falling in your lap. Now, once you’re talking with the business owners… what if I could give you the right answers to every single question they’re going to ask you? That’s exactly what the interview cheat sheet is. I’m basically giving you the answers to the test, before you take it. How do I know it’s the right answers? Because I’ve consulted over 1000 sales teams and am considered the industry leaders in that space. Believe me, I know all the questions. Hell, half of them learned from me, anyways 🙂 Imagine how blown away the business owner will be when you nail every single question that they ask…That’s exactly what this cheat sheet will do for you.BONUS #7: Elite Subcommunication & Tonality™2 closers. Same scripts. Different results. Why? I’ll show you subtle subcommunication & tonality cues causing avg. salesppl to miss easy sales. And, you can deploy power cues & triggers that make you WILDLY persuasive to most prospects.BONUS #8: Inner Game Of Sales™Ever struggled with inconsistency? Sales slumps?

2023.06.05 03:05 DatDuderOverThere The car I am paying for isn’t in my name
Ok, so here’s the story. About 2 years ago the car I had had broken down and I had to get a new car. Instead of getting a beater car that wouldn’t last me very long, I took out a loan and bought a 2017 Buick Encore. The loan was taken out through Michigan Educational Credit Union and my dad had co-signed the loan for a much lower interest rate. Then when I went to go buy the car and right before I took it home, the guy at the dealership said he accidentally put the car in my dads name. He asked if we wanted to switch the car into my name, and called my mom asking what they should do and she said to leave it in my dads name. Now, here in present day, I would like to put the car into my name (my mother had threaten to call the cops on me and report a stolen vehicle if I wasn’t home by 1:00 AM) and my mother is saying that “You can’t because your dad co-signed the loan, so you would have to take out a new high interest rate loan” to do so and I was wondering if that was true. If it isn’t true, is there any new payments or financial problems that may arise from me (20 year old male with no criminal history) having the car in my name.
NOTE / I have made every payment on the car for the last two years now. The reason for the co-sign was my dad had a better credit score because I hadn’t had a chance to build mine up.

2023.06.05 03:04 JumpJumpBat Anyone sick of consumers refusing to take responsibility for their choices?
It seems that anytime someone brings up how our choices affect people or the environment everyone immediately shuts it down with an, "It's not our fault! It's big corporations!" It's like everyone refuses to be held responsible for any of their decisions nowadays.
I recently had a friend tell me about how worried he was about climate change and then in the same conversation complain about this how this artist he likes is telling people to bike to work and recycle.
Yes, big corporations do atrocious things to workers and the environment, but they only do so because we as consumers have deemed it acceptable and continue to buy from them. There aren't functional alternatives to every harmful product/practice, but that isn't an excuse to do nothing.

2023.06.05 03:04 PelotonBay Player Commendations/Teammate Ratings for PvP
2k would benefit from top to bottom if there was a built-in commendation system. After every game you get the opportunity to rate your teammates with a simple ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down.’ After which you can elaborate a bit more if you choose with simple options such as low skill/low iq, high skill/high iq, straight up trolling, good communication, quitting etc. Your average teammate grade and win percentage will also factor into your rating to keep a certain level of fairness and transparency. The end result would be the player base being split into 4, maybe 5 different tiers. Players with higher ratings (perhaps 90th percentile and above) would mostly play on comp servers with one another. There’s also servers for 70th to 89th percentile, 40th to 69th (nice) and below 40th percentile lobbies for the true shitters out there to run amok on one another. I believe a fully fleshed out system like this would be a step in the right direction towards improving both the toxic element of the game and need for skill based match making/balancing.

2023.06.05 03:04 MusicZealousideal431 My friend (22f) is facing homelessness and our mutual friend (23f) is acting crazy.
I (23f) have two friends Abbie (22f) and Sharon (22f)
Abbie was with some people for about four years who got into a ton of debt. Not going into details but she was basically kicked from their home and they are trying to take legal action against her for false crimes in hopes of getting some lawsuit money. So far they have no lawyers willing to take their case so it’s safe to say Abbie won’t be getting charged with anything.
Abbie is now couch hopping until she gets back on her feet. She has been staying with me occasionally, and I give her food and access to all of my apartment utilities whenever she needs. I’ve known her for a very long time and am decently aware of the details of her situation.
I went down south for a weekend to visit my friend (23f) who just got out of brain surgery for a grand-mal seizure. I hadn’t seen this friend in almost a year and wanted to show her a good time after she stayed in the hospital for almost two weeks.
Que in our mutual friend Sharon (22f). She met Abbie through me about a year ago and has also been helping her. But I found out that she is trying to dictate where she works and has pressured her to sign onto the lease with Sharon and her boyfriend Ted (24f). Abbie confided that some people have been harassing her telling her she’s at fault for being in this situation, and said that so many people don’t understand what she’s going through.
When I was hanging with my sick friend Sharon sent me a bunch of texts saying that I’m not stepping up enough, I should feel ashamed for “abandoning” Abbie to hang with my other friend, I’m trying to pressure Abbie into giving me money (never did), shouldn’t even be involved since I don’t do enough, Abbie has every right to cut me off, all my advice is stupid, I don’t understand since I’m “rich”, etc. Then condemned me for introducing Abbie to other people and taking her out - saying that she’s not ready to hang with people who she doesn’t know that well. Abbie has been isolated for the past year living with her ex-roommates, and has said many times that she wants to go out and be with others.
Mind you they didn’t really talk for almost a year and Abbie stayed with them once.
I told her she’s overreacting and that she is causing issues that don’t need to be added to Abbies plate right now. She’s now giving me the silent treatment.
I’m not sure how to resolve this. I didn’t wanna cut Sharon off since she’s been a healthy friend before all this, but I don’t want her causing any more issues. Any advice on how to calmly diffuse the situation?

2023.06.05 03:04 JarOfHate I have no hope
I have been isolated a really long time. I have zero self esteem and no one to talk to. I have always been like this as far as I can remember. I don't understand how someone can be so broken. I feel like I don't understand what's expected of me. I have destroyed every relationship I've ever had with anyone. I don't know how to communicate anymore I feel this heavy doom over my head and I don't think it's going to go away I feel cursed and i want to get rid of the negativity in my life I wish I was ignorant again. It seems like I'm not happy and down right pathetic without someone in my life. I have this constant pressure to succeed or I have no control of my life and I'm not very successful. I definitely ruined my life this time. There really is no hope for me i don't want a lot in life just someone who cares about me. all I've ever heard is how I'm too much for the people I get close to. I know I'm whining this is probably the problem. I cant leave myself alone anymore at all and lately I feel extremely numb or like my mood tanks for no reason. I don't know how else to let this out. I don't even feel human anymore. It's all dark and pathetic. the fucked up thing is I had what I wanted in life and I ruined it. I never deserved what I had I don't know if I can pull through this one. I wish someone could understand. I hope I don't get backlash I'm not really looking for support I feel like this is all stuck inside

2023.06.05 03:04 Dont-Drink-Lava What are y’all’s top 5 favorite YOASOBI songs?
Just a random question, I wanted to see how my options lined up with others’.
submitted by Dont-Drink-Lava to YOASOBI [link] [comments]
- 海のまにまに (Going With the Sea) - I like the outro and the color scheme of the music video.
- あの夢をなぞって (Tracing That Dream) - first YOASOBI song I really liked, the novel it’s based off was good as well but the MC was caught in a really unfair situation
- ミスター (Mister) - I like the more robotic MC, super cool character.
2023.06.05 03:04 nipplesaurus I had one rule: "No dating co-workers". Then I saw Lindsay...
Hi all. Just discovered this sub tonight, hopefully you can offer some words of support, advice, and maybe encouragement.
I have changed names for anonymity.
A bit about me: Male in my late thirties. Painfully shy with girls all my life. Had a high school girlfriend for two months, and a more serious, three-year relationship in my late twenties.
(Here comes a long backstory. Skip to *** if you want to skip most of it)
I went through a phase of trying (mostly very unsuccessfully) to date co-workers in my early to mid-20s. It alway ended terribly, as I worked with these girls closely twice a day, it led to some very awkward situations that I finally decided ten years ago to just cut out altogether and never try dating co-workers again. Shortly after taking the vow, I met a new co-worker (we had the same job) and we very quickly fell for each other but I turned her down because of the vow I made. I don't regret it though, other than feeling a bit bad for rejecting her, because I met my first serious girlfriend very soon after.
My ex and I dated for three years and were very much in love. She genuinely wanted to marry me, but I just couldn't get myself there with her. Frankly, as much as I did love her, I also resented her because of her controlling and insecure ways. Not going to go into too much detail there, but I was a film student and she essentially wouldn't let me watch movies because she was afraid I would see naked ladies, which she was very insecure about. Add on top of all of that, I was growing increasingly depressed due to the stress of work, feeling lost in life, and the way she treated me.
Anyway, we mutually decided to break up but we still saw each other, had sex, etc. She went away for an internship on the other side of the country and we kept in touch. I expected us to get back together when she returned in the fall but she didn't call, text, anything. Then I found out she had gotten pregnant just before she left for back home and that, combined with my preexisting and growing depression, sent me into a nervous breakdown.
I finally recovered enough to move on but the hurt remained and honestly, I still loved her very much. I decided very firmly that I never wanted to get back together, even after my ex started calling me again in 2020, but I still couldn't fully get over her. Call me wimp, whatever.
Then last year, I met four new girls (not all at once) and tried my hand at dating again, but each effort went down in flames. Still, it was good to try to get back out there. But still, I couldn't get over my ex. I would have episodes of pure sadness, remembering the love. I couldn't even look at the pictures of her or us in order to delete them. They just lived on my phone.
***
Then last year, I was working in a great [but unfortunately temporary] job that I loved, and rarely had to come into the office. But one of the rare occasions I did, and I saw this super cute girl, Lindsay, had started working there. She was working in another department, and in a job that had a high turnover rate so she probably wouldn't be there for long. And to top it all off, I noticed that she bore a striking resemblance to Shirley, a woman I had worked with for twenty years and have always liked (as a person) and got along great with. Turns out Lindsay is Shirley's daughter.
I returned to the office and my permanent job this past January and Lindsay sits just on the other side of the cubicle. She is in a junior position in another department, and I am much more senior, but I have absolutely no authority or influence over her, so anyone reading this who is concerned about that need not be.
I told myself, "Yeah, she's cute but I don't date co-workers. Nope. Never again"
But then I noticed that Lindsay is not just super cute, but absolutely gorgeous. Like stunning. I can't take my eyes off her. She is quiet and shy like me, and a snappy dresser. I resisted and resisted, telling myself no, but I can't resist anymore and decided that I have to break my one rule. I would never forgive myself if I let her go.
An interesting thing happened too: falling for Lindsay has given me the emotional break from my ex that even all four of those girls last year couldn't. Finally, two months ago, I was ready to delete all of the old pictures of my ex and I. And it wasn't that hard. I was finally ready to fully move on.
On April 11, I got a really bad haircut during my lunch break. Really bad. But despite that and the total blow to my self-confidence it gave me, I ran into Lindsay at the end of the day and introduced myself. I was not the lively person I wanted to be (because of the haircut) but Lindsay blushed and smiled when I said hello, then left me with a "have a good night"
The next day, I waved hello. A week or so later, I was passing by her and began smiling ear-to-ear completely involuntarily. She blushed.
Since then, I have been falling harder and harder and I swear she is getting more beautiful every day. I steal glances whenever I can, and I'm 99.99% sure I have caught her doing the same to me.
Three weeks ago, I was standing at my car and she came up behind me and said bye, but kept walking.
I also did what I told myself not to - I found her TikTok and Instagram. I'm old fashioned and want to learn about a girl by actually knowing and talking to her. But I got weak and looked at her profiles. Turns out she is super single (at least as of last month) and looking. But she is also super shy, turns down dates, and doesn't talk to anyone. We're two peas in a pod, as the saying goes. The Instagram I found is her old one; she started a new, private one a couple months ago. Should I follow her? Is that weird? It's weird, isn't it?
So why don't I just ask her out, you say? Well, that's difficult. I am only in the office Monday and Friday. She's part-time, I'm full. On Mondays, we finish work at the same, on Fridays, she leaves an hour earlier than I. Plus she is in the different department, surrounded by prying eyes, so it would be awkward for both of us if I walked up to her desk to chat. And she never leaves her desk except to use the washroom or chat with her co-worker friend at lunch. So I only have Monday to catch her going out the door. And timing that is difficult. Sometimes she stops to chat with her co-workers, other times she leaves soon after me but has her earbuds in so when I am at my car and she walks by, her back is to me and she can't hear me. Plus, what am I going to yell, "Hey you!"? We don't even really know each other.
I'm old, time is getting on for me, and for all I know, the world could end next week. She's looking, I'm looking, so why don't I just go for it? I'm afraid. But mostly, I feel like I have no idea what to do. Like seriously, I feel completely lost and a little helpless. I met those other girls, but those conversations/connections happened more organically. I didn't have to pursue, really. With Lindsay, I have to make a move. A move at work. With people looking. Or if not that, I have literally thirty seconds once a week to try to nab her. But I can't get her out of my head and I can't let this chance, however slim it may be, slip away because I was scared.
As I mentioned, I have known Lindsay's mom for twenty years. I could ask her if Lindsay is single. Shirley has always liked me, and she's very nice. Is that a good idea?
tl;dr: I'm shy. Haven't dated much. Had some romance with co-workers years ago but said never again. Had a long-term relationship that ended and it took me years to recover. Saw acute beautiful girl at work, she is also really shy. I said hi, don't know how to go further, due to working apart and not having much opportunity to get to know her.
Sorry for writing a novel. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

2023.06.05 03:04 GuvnorJack How to clear acne starter pack
I see a lot of people still insecure about their acne from all ages and after going through it for almost half my life so far I wanna share some things that have helped me get it under control.
submitted by GuvnorJack to teenagers [link] [comments]
- WASH ALL THE TIME. Shower daily if possible, especially when you know you’re dirty. In addition, make sure to keep your complexion clean, not too oily and not too dry, wash your face and moisturise and your skin requires. Keeping your pores clean and correctly oiled enough is key to keeping them clear.
- Additionally people underestimate the effect of things other than their face. If you touch your face often, keep them soapy clean, and your hair is a bigger factor than you think. Especially people with longer hair I know aren’t the biggest fans of regular thorough washing but trust me it’s worth it, because if it’s even framing your face let alone on your forehead etc, it will cause breakouts if it’s dirty.
- Hydrate. You can never drink enough water as it is but keeping well hydrated helps your skin heal and reduce blemishes and pimples really well. I suggest drinking at regular intervals, especially when you wake up or go to bed to keep it flowing regularly to clear yourself up.
- Pop Pimples well. A lot of people are against it despite finding it entertaining. I’ve always found more success popping whiteheads with clean hands and then washing the area after.
- Eat healthier. I’ve noticed times when I’ve been eating more things like chocolate and sugared drinks my complexion takes a turn for the worse, so cut them down if you don’t mind going without.
- Get in the sun. It can be difficult, but even on cloudy days it’s worth getting some decent sunlight time. If you get the chance to relax in the sun on a very bright and hot day especially though, take it. You’ll feel better after having your face in natural light and a tan helps even your complexion and make blemishes and redheads less prominent.

Background: Previously had metermon setup to send unencrypted data from my gas meter so I could see my gas usage inside Home Assistant. Worked like a charm for 2 days until I powered it down and moved the unit.
