I miss you like a...

DISCLAIMER This is nothing more than my opinions based off of observation of recovery content from five different platforms. There are likely things that I have missed, gotten wrong, or you disagree with and I am open to discuss that. ALSO, I am in recovery myself(not recovered), so I apologise if any of this appears to be disordered.
It is so horrible that social media must now serve as a platform for the theatrics of eating disorders, it is so highly disturbing. It certainly adds another layer of complexity to the illnesses, as those who have never sought attention for their disorder are taunted to by whoever promotes it on social media. I wish that governments would take this as a sign that more awareness of EDs are needed, but they are never even mentioned.
Treatment NEEDS to adapt to the effects of social media, and needs to stop encouraging those who are discharged to create recovery accounts (I have heard stories of this.)
These poor girls and boys are literally killing themselves in front of an audience, one that is uneducated and unaware of what their response to that content may have on the creator.
Furthermore, the constantly recurring posts of ‘symptoms of EDs that are never spoken about’ are almost always the most common, however that is not what angers me. What angers me is that awareness of eating disorders is so low, despite the fact that social media has made it easier than ever for organisations to spread a message. If awareness of the effects of eating disorders was raised, recovery creators would have no reason to be the awareness themselves. Many recovery accounts use the excuse that they create their content for others to not feel alone, which should NEVER be the responsibility of the sufferers. Those who have recovered or are treatment providers, who have the mental capacity and flexibility to recognise the true effects of their eating disorder should be the voice regarding ED awareness. Those who are still in their eating disorder, no matter how far in recovery they are- until they can confidently announce that they are recovered and their behaviour constantly reflects that (not just 90% of the time), they should not be trying to spread awareness. Most of us in this sub have suffered from an ED, and know that posts can be ‘ED-coded’ subconsciously and unintentionally, in a way that only other disordered individuals may perceive.
Finally, I believe that the transformation videos, i.e. before and after, regardless of body checks, can actually do more damage to those who are not already suffering than recognised. These videos also do damage to those with eating disorders with less ‘severity’. For those who are not disordered, these videos can almost make them feel as though they must suffer in that same way so that they can achieve that utmost happiness in life, similarly to how many EDs may promise recovery after a certain milestone. Whilst I can understand reaping the benefits of recovery is obviously helpful as an oversight, it majorly depends on the content provided as to whether or not it will cause more harm or help.
PS: I will likely edit this as responses come through, as I am very curious to see other people’s opinions and annoyances.

Okay so let’s add context. I’m 15F and my cousin 15F have grown up together our ENTIRE life. My cousin we’ll call her Lay has always been like a sister to me, I love her with my whole heart truly. I take her on vacations, Disney,Universal,Different states blah blah. Now you need to keep this in mind, my cousin has not gone to school since 2nd grade I believe. Now me I went to school up until 8th grade when I had dropped out due to depression. I’ve always been very social. I have a lot of friends and my cousin grew up with some of them.
now, when I was in fifth grade A new girl moved to my block we’ll call her samantha. me and Samantha didn’t get along at first, but we got along recently back in August and we became very close and she’s been my very close friend for a little bit and of course I introduced her to my cousin and I introduce all my friends to my cousin, my cousin and samantha were never Close at first until recently when I had found out they had a group chat without me and it was with another one of my friends, which I had originally found weird but never confronted her on it because I felt stupid.
I should also mention she lives in a different state so my cousin no longer lives out here, now my cousins family is a little poor so they didn’t have a car for a while and I would usually have to pick her up if I wanted to see her, now she has a car and she had recently come out here because I had missed her and she planned on staying in my house
while staying in my house, we went to go watch the sunset with my mother and I got a FaceTime call from my friend we’ll call him, Angel. angel reminded me of some plans we had for the following Saturday that I just completely forgot about and I had told him I guess a week prior that my cousin will be out here, now that’s not an important detail now, but it will be later.
so we follow through with the plans and we go to the mall with my cousin, Angel, my other friend and angels friend. all is well at first but then we sit down to eat, and Samantha had texted my cousin saying I was banned from her house and of course I was very confused so I had texted her asking why and she said I was making snarky remarks about her and somebody told her that, which I’d like to clear up I would never do because I love Samantha and she’s a sweet girl to me.
eventually, she had told me somebody sitting at that table had told her that, but she would not tell me who, so of course I look at everybody, Angel, and his friend do not even talk to Samantha and my friend and Samantha don’t talk due to past drama the only person there who talks to Samantha is my own cousin, but I had told Samantha that, and all she had said was “why would she tell me anything she’s your cousin”
eventually, I was also fed up with the drama, so Samantha invited me to her house to clear this up now mind you I had no idea what was said who said it and what even was happening. But I did go to her house and she had mentioned my cousin a lot more than usual so I asked her if it was her and she still said, why would it be her she’s your cousin.
now me and my cousin and my friend go back to my house, and if I did not mention, my cousin had made plans with my said friend, Samantha, without me while staying at my house. I have included lay in everything I do no matter if she knows the person or not.
now, my cousin had told me she was only going over there for the day but I was still upset because she’s going without me even though me and Samantha made up when I went to her house. It was still disrespectful and I could tell Samantha did not want me over still.
The next day, me and my cousin and my friend wake up, and I had noticed my cousin packing a bag and I asked her why is she packing a bag and she had responded with she’s staying at Samantha‘s house and she’ll be back tomorrow.
and then she abruptly left me and my friend found this very weird, but I let it slide, and I had not said anything. to get over me being sad me my mom, my dad and my friend all went out to a big mall in a different city and I had posted that me and my friend were going to the mall and Samantha had posted some thing a little bit later, saying she hoped we got jumped while my cousin was at her house.
even though no names were named, it was pretty obvious it was about us, and I was upset because I thought me and Samantha were fine.
now fast forward to the next day and I had asked my cousin if she is coming back to my house because I had wanted to bake but she said she had plans at 6 o’clock to hang out with Samantha and my other friend who we’ll call mark.
now this was my breaking point all the pity invites I had gotten in the making plans without me, really got to me and definitely clouded my judgment, but I still don’t think I want as far as she did.
first, she had come to my house to get a receipt to return something and then she had come back to collect her clothes to do laundry. then I found out she had post poned said plans because she didn’t want to drive anymore.
she then proceeded to come to my house a third time to collect the rest of her stuff, but she was agitated and mad and left my house. She then proceeded to text me saying how I was treating her differently and how she didn’t feel welcomed, but I have not treated her any way I was trying to be nice still.
she is now staying in a different home, and I told her to just stay there because I didn’t want to see her anymore after she had hurt my feelings .
at the time of this post, me and Samantha, no longer talk and my cousin has texted me. This has been a couple days since this happened. but my cousin still won’t see my side of the story and has played victim nonetheless.
I should also mention the same day she left my house I had confronted her, and then she had called me yelling at me, screaming at my mother, and other things I shouldn’t even repeat.
now when she was at my house she was talking about going to a different state where all my family lives and now I’m planning a flight there by myself and she seems upset by it but I don’t feel bad
So reddit AITAH?

Okay sorryyyy bc I don’t want my only posts on here to be negative but 🫠 modern is glitching bad again. Y’all told me no glitch this crazy had happened before, so the fact that it’s occurred another time within a few days is crazy?? What on earth is happening on their end and WHY bc it’s beyond irritating.
For anyone that didn’t see the solution when I last complained like .2 days ago- if you switch to classic, you should still be able to play❗️ Also if you’re having the issue and missed a challenge bc of it, make sure you submit a ticket and tell them which one you couldn’t do so you can receive proper compensation once they fix the issue‼️‼️
I’m ANNOYED. Okay. I’ll be playing in classic mode till further notice I guess? Wtf

Soo me and my mom always have bullshts arguments and i am a kind of person that always defend himself from everything and everyone who wants to hurt me I have sister that she’s very kind and nice person she’s 10 years old and she study more than me and she is her favorite child and i study too but i want to enjoy my life i go to gym play games and study and i am a good student in school but she is always comparing me with people who are better than me in any bullsht thing that you can imagine🙃 And when she get mad she always yells at me and humiliating me with words that : -You’re not responsible - -You’re like slouchy- You’re like your uncle(my uncle doesn’t have a job)- And lots of things… And when I defend myself boy words i became the bad guy This isn’t a new problem for me it’s been from my childhood till know Last night my i miss my glasses and she say everything that you think and last week my sister forgot her jaket and she was so nice with her. I know that I’m not a perfect child for her but i’m not that bad :)

Boyfriend of almost 3 years… we have Life360 and he literally has to call me every single time I leave the house or work. Pretty much, he gets mad at me if I don’t spend every single second of my free time on the phone with him when we are apart. He also gets upset and “tracks” my phone usage when we are laying in bed together at night. He sits there and makes comments like “dang you must’ve been on messenger a lot today since you only have 1 notification instead of 9” and will question every thing I do. Any sort of social media. “I thought you don’t use Instagram” or “what does [name] want that they’re blowing up your phone? (After I get one message or one call)”
I feel like I’m not allowed to have any sort of friendship outside of him. But he’s allowed to sit at home when he’s off work and be on the phone with his buddies playing games. Whenever I tell him any stories about anything from work or public outing without him, he questions EVERYTHING like he simply doesn’t trust a thing I do.
I’m totally sick of it. I can’t even listen to music on my way home since we are just sitting on the phone; most of the time with that static silence instead of a conversation since there’s nothing else to talk about”
Then he mentions how “you never seem happy to see me” and “why don’t you miss me” and tries to guilt trip me EVERY single time I mention getting off the phone to listen to music on my way home from work.
I guess I’m asking AITA for feeling this way? Is this just what a relationship is nowadays? F26/M24
Edit: I recently finalized a divorce due to domestic violence and abuse. I don’t want to fall into the narcissistic trap again with someone else.

Hi guys,
Came back to the game a month ago and started a new character Sadida. Liked the class and currently I'm lvl 121 full strength, but now I have some questions regarding the build. I'm playing on TalKasha.
For now I'm running a full black rat set + normal gelano + DT Ivory/Crimsom. My budget is around 2.5mk (poor asf, I know).
At what level should I start changing my build?
Should I go for full set build or trophies based one? I read the full set build is better when you have Dofuses, but for now I just have the one that gives wisdom. So, should I start buying trophies?
I'm a bit of missed at this moment about this, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Hey guys, I was wondering, is the Kill team Kommandos of any use in a regular 40k match? I know they have their own datasheet for 135 points but i feel they're missing a lot of weapons and not really set up the same as their datasheet. Are you using them? If you do, do you kustomise the rules a bit to make them more like the kommando team?

Hey all hope you're having a great day :)
So like most people i'm missing that special person in my life and it would be really nice to find someone that i can relate to, be 100% honest and open with and generally find my best friend.
Hopefully this would start out as friendship and if we click then we click, open to anyone from anywhere :)
Some stuff about me/hobbies
Video games, this is my biggest hobby by far, i play have an pretty big library of games i play so if you game, there is a high chance we would share stuff we could play, a few games i play often, League(i question it too don't worry) soulsbourne games (unga bunga builds) fallout's, i mainly play pc but have a switch and ps4 too.
TV/Film, if not doing the above, you can find me binge watching shows or films, such as B99, the office HIMYM, GoT (we can discuss how shit the last season was forever), Star Wars, Marvel stuff, SAW.
Animals, i have 2 dogs (yes i'll show you lots of pictures) and in general i love animals so much, so i'll probably spam you with pictures of random animals i think are cute or funny :)
Music, i listen to a wide variety of stuff, from rock and metal to dance/pop some electro swing, rap and other stuff, in general if i like a song i'll listen to it on repeat till i hate it but still listen to it anyway.
I try and be witty and funny most the time, I have a stupid sense of humour but will try and make you laugh most of the time, I can be shy to start with but i open up pretty quickly when i get comfortable with you :)
Don't be shy and hit me up if you think we would get on :)

Hello! I’ve been doing lots of research for USJ for our trip in October and just want to check here that I understand everything and see if anyone has any other tips!

1. It’s unknown exactly when tickets go on sale for each period but I should start checking around 2.5 months before? I really don’t want to miss the date so it’s a bit stressful not having a specific date to check!
   
2. I’d like the buy all the available fast passes. It looks like you can buy one fast pass per person but there isn’t actually one that will get you on all rides, so you have to just choose the best combo for you? We’re keen on big rides plus Nintendo World plus Harry Potter. It looks like perhaps the USJ express pass 7 variety may give the most big rides and timed entry for both of these. Is that right or is there an even better option? Are they released at the same time as the entrance tickets?
   
3. It sounds like it can be difficult to buy the tickets / fast passes on the USJ website outside of Japan and that Klook was a bit of a gamble as you couldn’t pick the timed entry, but looking at some recent posts, it seems Klook now also provides timed entry of your choosing. Has anyone tried this and would you say this is now the best way to buy tickets in advance from the UK? I assume the timings are the same as in #1?
   
4. As it’s October, we expect it will be Halloween Horror Nights, which looks awesome. I couldn’t find much out about this yet so I assume I just need to keep checking until it is announced. But it sounds like perhaps there’s nothing special I need to do - I can just buy the tickets as a package once they’re released? Can you also get these on Klook?
   
5. Anything else we should think about or be aware of??
   

Thanks in advance!

The whole project took me much longer than I expected. While I like the development experience of React, lots of things are still missing in Hydrogen.

1. Storefront, checkout, and customer account feels so disconnected.
2. Customer account API is still very new and missing a lot of stuff. For example
   1. you can query and update the subscription plan but the data returned doesn't have the product details and subscription plan details (delivery frequency, discount, etc.) you are subscribing.
   2. you can't add phone number to your user profile during account creation or by editing your user profile.
   3. you can't populate the user information (email, phone number, default shipping address, card info etc.) in checkout for a logged in user.
3. Things that worked out of the box by installing apps in Liquid online store doesn't work in Hydrogen. That means you need to implement it yourself. For example, for tracking pixel you will need to use the analytics module and for checkout page you will need to install a Shopify webpixel extension. Not a major problem but it took me so much longer to sort out and implement.
4. For Apps that are using embedded script and iframe etc, it is so hard to work with all the hydration problems.

I think Hydrogen has a lot of potential but I feel like it is not there yet. For anyone considering moving from Liquid to Hydrogen, I would say give it a year unless you have a very strong reason to migrate now.

Many people are calling for Ned's head lately.
I don't think he's been perfect. He has a positive reputation around the league at least as a person and businessperson. That doesn't mean he's a good scout.
I think it's important to separate hirings into categories one would attribute to the owner, the coach, or the general manager, even though it is reportedly a collaborative process and Paulson has to sign off on everything. It is also essential to note that different coaches have different systems, styles, strategies, and tactics. Players identified as having the skills, disposition, mentality, etc. for particular purposes under a particular coach may not work as well in different circumstances. For example, I'll suggest that having a slow right centerback isn't as much of a problem with a right fullback who can track back, central midfielders who can help cover, and an offense that defends higher, doesn't turn the ball over so often, and is effective in attack. Also, given the relatively sudden and unexpected departures of Porter and Wilkinson, and the transition periods between coaches and scouting/technical staff, it's important to note that there were times when there weren't people in particular roles and the styles, tactics, strategies, philosophies, etc. weren't clear or changed.
While I have no proof and Ned has expressed his enthusiasm for and confidence in Neville, I very much feel like Phil is Paulson's guy. It was said that he had a rapport with Paulson. I don't expect Ned to say anything publicly that isn't supportive. Maybe he actually believed Neville was the best candidate and maybe he still believes he's a good coach.
Using Wikipedia, I documented which players signed with the club or had their contracts extended while Ned was in different roles.
When he was promoted to Technical Director, he was specifically credited with scouting specific players. He's also credited with finalizing the deal with Evander in late 2022, after GW was fired but before he was officially GM. The rumor is that the deal was going to fall apart before Ned took over negotiations. I've italicized those players that Ned might have been involved in scouting, recruiting, signing, or extending who are still on the team. I've also indicated when I think it's pretty clear when a player was brought in by a coach because of some past association. I may be wrong about some and may have missed some. I know there is incomplete information but I only tried so hard. There are also situations where the player was technically signed to an extension in one year but it was effectively for the next season. The distinction between preseason and summer transfer window signings isn't always obvious. Also, many of these players were scouted for some time before a decision was made to sign them and an opportunity presented itself. For example, Wilkinson talked about wanting Lucas Melano for some time. I think Porter was big on him too. We had our eyes on Yimmi Chara for a long time too. Considering that, I'm not inclined to credit Ned with 2017 signings at all, and don't think he had much to do with the renewal or financial decisions until 2023.

Gee, that's the entire roster. Realistically though, I'm only crediting him for 2023 and maybe Rodriguez. He wasn't really GM until Evander at the end of 2022. GW, Paulson, Porter, Gio, and Neville all have had input and in many cases more authority in decision-making up to that point.
Which players came and went under Ned's watch should we not have signed or not let go?
And which players who are still on the roster just objectively suck and aren't MLS-level players? As starters or depth? Who doesn't even have any potential? Who has aged out? Who is good but doesn't fit the system? Who doesn't fit Neville's system but fit Gio's? Note: this is all in MLS-level terms.

1. Rodriguez was great but is now just good and arguably doesn't fit the system. He's a second striker but we only play with one forward. I don't think the 4-4-2 we tried against Seattle was a good idea. Obviously, it didn't work. Maybe a diamond of Evander, Chara, Ayala, and Paredes. We'd need more defense to cover for Mosquera getting forward and Moreno tucking in. But I digress...
2. Evander is good but poorly utilized and inconsistent. He plays to the level of his teammates. He's not a leader. Could he be great? Probably not as a 10. He's got flashes though, so I hope I'm wrong.
3. Loría in my eyes isn't MLS level and hit his ceiling. I'll accept arguments that he's a good sub for the money.
4. Williamson is good but oft-injured, and inconsistently plays to the level of his teammates.
5. Moreno is inconsistent, sometimes played out of position, doesn't fit the system, but has potential. He takes chances, which I respect, but maybe doesn't have the best judgement. Maybe he can learn. I hope so. He tries. He's good. He could be great. He probably shouldn't be the starter all the time.
6. Mosquera is a good winger but terrible fullback. Or maybe he's a good wingback but terrible fullback, depending on how you define the roles. Maybe he has potential. I increasingly doubt it. He doesn't seem to have the mentality for it. He's Alvas Powell 2.0. I'd love to be wrong. He tried last match. If he becomes a good fullback he'll be great overall.
7. McGraw is good but terrible in the system, especially when Mosquera doesn't track back. He's just too slow and sometimes has poor judgement.
8. Eric Miller is good as a sub right fullback and decent as a sub left fullback.
9. Fogaça isn't good and has no potential. I'd love to be wrong. I like his workrate but he's not MLS quality and never will be.
10. Antony is good, not great, and maybe has potential. His first touch is garbage, he's one-footed, and he doesn't make smart runs. He fast though. I don't think he can succeed on a shitty team like ours because he won't see the ball enough. Ideally, he'd understudy to a great winger and learn from them.
11. Mora is surprisingly good. He's opportunistic. He's a leader. He's committed. He puts in effort. I still don't think he's a DP and I'd kind of prefer he was a subto an even better forward but it's hard to argue with success.
12. Diego Chara. He's still very good. People who say he's lost a step are confusing his inability to cover everybody else's mistakes, and his own occasional lapses, with having lost it. He's barely lost anything. He'd look better on a team that wasn't absolute ass. It's sad for him.
13. Araujo. I think he's good but just too slow for this system. His passing is good and he's good with the ball at his feet. His positioning and judgement seem fine, generally. I'd bet he'd look better on a better team too. I could say the same for some former centerbacks as well.
14. Paredes. He's good. He's developed and grown on me. He's pretty consistent and generally puts in effort. He rarely pisses me off. I'd hoped he'd develop into a 6 but that's apparently not to be. I think he's hit his ceiling. He's a great rotator or sub. Not a star.
15. Ayala. He's good. Could become great if he can stay healthy and get more development. I'm worried about his injury history. He's a bit small and can get pushed around a bit.
16. Mabiala. He's just too old and slow now. Good dude. Maybe his last extension was too long. I think the tactics are especially bad for him but he wasn't good enough last season either. Father Time just caught up faster than we expected.
17. Asprilla. Is he good? I don't think he really is. But his moments of sheer genius, his workrate, and his heart make him great. As a sub. Flare counts for a lot. I love it when Asprilla dazzles.
18. Kamal Miller. He's good but too slow for the system.
19. Muse. No idea man.
20. Crepeau. He's great but we sure haven't given him a chance to be great for us yet.
21. Pantemis. He's good and could be great.
22. Sulte. I've only ever seen him be awful. I wish him the best but have no reason for optimism, especially since Muse came on.
23. Zuparic. He's the best player in the league, obviously. He's good. Maybe he was great once. He's not good enough for the system at least. If Neville ever substantively changes tactics I think he could be solid for us again. Seems like his attitude may be a problem though. Who knows what to believe?
24. Ikoba. Absolute mystery to me. I assume the worst from context clues. Wish him the best. I think he, Sulte, and all who came before underscore how wretched our academy system is. Who do we blame for that? Does it matter? I think it does. I'd love to develop cheap players we could sell to reinvest in the club.
25. Bravo. He's great. He could be brilliant. He makes the occasional mistake but that's the price of greatness. He takes risks. He's a fighter too. Love this dude but he still gets underrated and shit on. We're so much better with him on the team. How often do we have good fullbacks, especially a left back. Him, Moreira, and Villafaña are kind of it, right? Farfan showed promise but bringing Jorge back stunted his prospects with us?

I think we are less than the sum of our parts. I don't think too many of our players are scrubs. We have too much invested in central midfield, centerback, and keeper. Central midfield was complicated by injuries and Chara's insane longevity. Our poor DP signings hurt our ability to move on from them in terms of timing and money. Ivacic was still on the books well into the last transfer window. Mabiala is taking up roster and cap space. Zuparic is questionable. McGraw and Araujo just don't seem to be good fits for the system that Neville is trying to implement. Kamal Miller isn't either but Neville doesn't realize that. I'll suggest that Mosquera not defending hurt the CBs last season too, along with the missing attacking DPs.
I don't know what we can realistically do about our problems near-term. I don't think Nevilleball works even with a right fullback who can defend and faster centerbacks. That would help. But the lack of off-the-ball movement, lack of ball progression through midfield, lack of creative runs, poor passing, low pressure, shitty zonal marking on set piece defending, not closing passing lanes, not stepping to the ball; not making incisive, line-splitting passes; not communicating, poor rotations, not making the final pass or taking shots in the box, passing back all the time, slow build-up, not covering the far post, injuries... It's a lot. Some of these problems predate Neville, so he ought to have accounted for them and adjusted accordingly. The FO has denied lack of talent is a problem. That leaves coaching and attitude or mentality. Attitude and mentality often come back to coaching IMHO.

Happens every year on Mother’s Day, I always feel so much worse, so much more pain than usual seeing everybody thanking their mothers or any mother like figure in my life, while I have to go and visit a grave, I miss her every single day so to all the men and women who have lost their mothers I feel you, and I love you guys.

When: Sunday 5-12-2024
Where: O’Hare International Airport, American Airlines
Items Lost and/or stolen:
1. Remarkable 2, The paper Tablet
2. Marker Plus w/ Tablet
3. Remarkable 2 folio case
On 5-11-2024, I flew American Airline from North Carolina to Chicago Ohara International airport. The plane sat right off the runway for about an hour, the plane had no gate to park. Most of the passengers missed their connecting flight. I missed my connection to Portland OR by minutes. I was rebooked for a flight for the next day to Portland via Dallas Tx On Sunday 5-12-2024 at 2:40pm. When boarding the plane, we had to check in our carry-on bag because it was full (I had my work laptop and new Remarkable 2 tablet in my carry-on). We started to taxi out to the runway, then stopped. After about 40 minutes, the pilot came on the speaker and said there would be a delay of about ½ hour to an hour. He then came on to the speaker and said that they were now saying it would be 1-3 hours and he had decided to deplane. The flight was then cancelled. I could not get my carry-on, because it would be going to Dallas and then Portland once a flight went out. I was able to book another flight to Portland 6 hours later. When I landed, I was able to get my check in bag, it had arrived the day before, but the carry-on that I did not want to check in was not there. It would be there in about an hour. So, I waited. By this time, I had spent about 2days or about 30 hours in the airports (they did give me a $12.00 food voucher- you cannot even get a sandwich for that price). I was so exhausted I grabbed my baggage when it got there, and we drove another hour to Salem. By this time, I had been travelling and in airports since Saturday morning at 9:00am and it was now after Midnight Sunday night /Monday morning. I was able to get home about 2:30am.
I slept for a couple of hours and when I opened my carry-on the laptop was in there, but the tablet was gone. I had just bought it just over a month ago and all together had spent $444.99.
I have tried filing a claim, you cannot do that w/o filing a missing baggage report. My bag is not missing. My tablet is. You cannot file a claim w/o original receipt within 24 hours. There is no one to whom you can talk. No one to help you. The one gal I managed to get ahold of was customer service but not for complaints or baggage problems. Her comment to me was “there are over 44 million customers a day with problems, you think we want talk to all of them”. That is what American Airlines thinks of their customers.
I knew my tablet was in the bag when they made me check my bag. They should be held liable. For as long as they held onto the luggage, anyone could have opened it up and took it. I am hoping I am wrong, and it is in the airport somewhere. Chicago, Portland, or Dallas. I feel like I will never see it again.
I know this, I will never fly AA again. They have terrible service, there planes are not in very good shape, just an all-around bad experience. I heard a lot of passengers complain about the airline. No one had anything good to say about them.
How many people has this happened to? Can they just get away with stealing and ripping people off? Making people’s lives miserable by having one of the most unorganized people and baggage and fight handling systems in the world.
Is there a chance a class action lawsuit could be filed? I am sorry I cannot just let them take $500 from me; I work too hard for my money. I feel like they have robbed me.

Hello, I was pregnant for two months Novembe December and then I was not. It was an extremely rough time for me. I was doing everything that I could to have safe sex at the time and yet a baby still appeared, the feeling while pregnant was the strongest feeling of just pure primal I will protect you kind of feeling that I had ever had, and then within just a week may be less of finding out that I was pregnant I had a miscarriage. The only people who knew about it were three of the people the closest to me. I can't help but watch all of the milestones pass me by and not feel something. It is more bittersweet feeling than anything at this point. I feel so much love for my unborn child than anything during these holidays like Mother's Day. I had said something like how things had gone differently I would have almost been considered a mother on Mother's Day to two of those 3 people I had mentioned before, and it created an awkward feeling that I was not intending but just for once wanted to voice my feelings and thoughts on it without feeling pitied by them. Most times I just feel at peace now, I think my baby is somewhere peaceful.
Now the second part of this because I want to get this all out. My family is uber Christian and basically forced me to tell them that I was having sex even though that really was none of their business and that I am an adult. So now anytime I tell them about any issues that I may have that may overlap with pregnancy they feel the need to point it out, each and every time. Not even just with that, if they can make a connection between me and pregnancy they will. They are also narcissists which means I cannot explode on them or anything or i will be gaslit into thinking that I was somehow in the wrong. They just hurt me so much in this way, and I refuse to tell them that I was ever pregnant to begin with because that would just lead to so much more pain for me.
Overall, I miss my baby, and this has affected me more, longer, and in ways that I never knew/ thought that a miscarriage could affect me before.

If anyone has ever attempted and survived did you regret ever attempting? I just did something that completely ruined the rest of my life. I just hurt the girl that i know was the one. I hate myself and i want to kill myself so badly. I know i just ruined things between us and she was the one. she was the one i was going to marry and i will never love anyone else. i know i will never feel the same way about anyone else and i know i will not be romantically involved with anyone else again ever. i’ve never felt so alone and i’ve never wanted to kill myself more than i do right now. i feel like my life is ruined because i know i will be alone for the rest of my life. i love her so much. she was the one and i know everyone says there are so many other people out there and that the end of a relationship isn’t the end of the world but this truly is the end of my world. i will never love anyone else the way i love her. i don’t want to live in regret and guilt for the rest of my life i just want my life to be over now. i can’t deal with the heartbreak and i can’t deal with the depression. i want to stop feeling completely. for context to this yes i’ve suffered from depression for my entire life, awful childhood, have experienced abuse from family and a previous partner. I finally found her and all of this disappeared. i felt like i found something that was worth living for and i was genuinely so happy and felt euphoric for the years i spent with her. now that it’s gone i don’t know what to do. i want to kill myself i feel like there’s no point. i’m just scared to actually do it. i don’t think i will honestly. i don’t have the balls by any means to actually attempt again. (i attempted when i was younger) and i did regret it after but i really do feel like this was my final straw and i don’t feel like i’ll ever be happy again. i think a part of me will always be missing. i have no plans to attempt but i am suffering with suicidal thoughts. any advice helps please just someone talk to me. none of my friends or family know about this so of course im resorting to strangers on the internet lol. i of course do not want her to know this either i am not the person to guilt trip a partner into staying with me by threatening suicide that’s ridiculous. no one knows how bad im suffering and it hurts. everyone has always thought im this bubbly extroverted girl. i’ve always hid my depression from my family and friends well and she was the only person who i felt comfortable with telling. no one knows that i am struggling with this, and i don’t want to tell anyone because i do not want to burden my friends or family and i don’t want anyone worried about me attempting. i have no plans to attempt, its just the thoughts about the possibility of doing this so it can finally be over are eating me alive.

Hello! I am 20 years old and a female. I’m not very big on socializing and tend to be pretty introverted, not because I hate people but because it usually is exhausting for me. I try to look out for people and don’t like to tell anyone about my problems or feelings; I am also someone who cares a lot about people but doesn’t normally voice it, but would rather show it through gifts or acts of service. I like to pay attention to the details of things and people, and I often have a weird feeling that I can “predict” people or know how they will be/are… and so far, I’ve usually been right. I have a strong moral code and will always advocate for the underdog. I think deeply about things and tend to have a lot of empathy. I experience things and feel that I also think of things differently than most people. I have a hard time explaining my thoughts, but I’ll do my best!
I don’t have any kind of mental diagnosis that could affect my mental stability.
My upbringing was actually very positive. My family has been big on religion since I was born, but it’s something that I take comfort in and agree with. It brings purpose to my life and helps me to be the person I am. I have two parents who love me and take care of me, and younger siblings that I love dearly. I have cousins who double as my friends, aunts and uncles who have me over all the time, and grandparents that I love so, so much. Having many younger siblings did tend to get lonely at times, especially when they were younger, but it taught me independence and I do my best to take care of them. I count myself as extremely fortunate to have such wonderful people in my life.
As a job, I currently work as a barista. To be honest, I don’t really like it very much. My coworkers are very nice and I get along well with them, and I also like a lot of our regular customers, but my manager makes it a very toxic and negative environment that simply goes against my moral code. I also dislike the fact that most people that I see, I only see them in passing. I’d rather have few deep, meaningful connections that many shallow connections, if that makes any sense? I do enjoy the idea of getting to make people’s days, and I like to encourage the bashful people and love seeing sweet children, too! Both customers and coworkers tend to tell me personal stories, and I really enjoy getting to know them truly and seeing what makes them the way they are. I also tend to think sometimes that I feel a higher calling. I want to be somewhere truly helping people. I feel that I need to make a difference and positively influence people.
Spending an entire weekend by myself would be nice. I don’t NEED human contact, and can generally entertain myself without becoming bored. I do, however, find it a little depressing when it’s TOO quiet, especially since I grew up with my environment being everything but quiet. Normally, I like being near people, especially if I’m not even talking to them. Just sharing the space with someone is comforting enough for me! Overall, though, I do need to be alone frequently and tend to run away from life sometimes throughout the day. I would probably find a weekend alone to be really refreshing, so I could connect with myself and not other people.
I prefer activities where you work alone. I like to bake a lot, especially because it makes me happy when people enjoy the things I’ve made! I greatly enjoy sharing my food. I also like to read and can also write, as they both provide me with the an escape from reality at times. My favorite parts about both is understanding and connecting with the characters in the stories. If I have a favorite character, I like to think about what they think about and how they interact with the world. I feel like it’s something most people would find mundane, but I could do it all day! I enjoy being outdoors and connecting with nature, but I don’t particularly enjoy sports.
I tend to be very curious about many things. I like to know how people work. Not normally objects, but people. I find psychology to be extremely interesting, and could spend hours watching true crime investigations. If I see a stray cat, I wonder how it feels and what it has experienced. When I see a person who is upset, I wonder what happened to cause it and how I can help. I can normally tell quickly when something is wrong, and I am usually good at figuring out what I can do to help and am able to read people to understand the best ways to comfort them. It makes sense thinking that in my head, but writing it down sure makes it seem confusing!
Taking a leadership position is not my preferred route. If it falls down to me, I certainly would try hard to make sure the people working under me are happy. I’d rather make the people around my happy than the company itself. I’d like to be an advocate for their rights and happiness if anything was unfair, and I would like for us to be a “team” rather than simply a workplace. I’d like everyone to have fun at work and feel like friends and family. I know the world doesn’t work that way, but I can certainly dream, right?
In terms of coordination, I feel that I’m in the middle. I’d rather play video games than any kind of sport. I don’t have the best balance or coordination, and I don’t typically do things that involve having a good sense of either.
I feel that I am typically artistic, and have a great appreciation for art. I’m not great at drawing, but I like to write a lot. I also think it feels nice to express yourself through music. I’ve done pottery and would like to start learning to crochet. I enjoy looking at certain arts, such as music and books. My favorite art in terms of drawing is abstract art. I love thinking of the endless possibilities of what it could mean, and also wonder how the artist felt when drawing the piece.
The past doesn’t typically have meaning to me. I can be sentimental about certain things at times, but I typically focus my energy mostly on the future. I do things in my present life to prepare for the future, and I have a positive outlook on the future. I don’t like to think of the things that I find unpleasant now, because I believe in a good, happy future where the things that currently bother me will no longer be able to affect me.
I typically will jump at the opportunity to help someone, especially if they are in my family. I do my best to make people’s days, and I try to be of service as best as I can. I used to be unable to say “no”, but I have since learned to enforce boundaries and would never do something that goes against my moral code. If I have a lot on my plate and someone asks me to do something for them, I will typically tell them that I will help them when I can or if I have the time.
Logical consistency is something that I find important, but I wouldn’t mind making exceptions for certain things. I take comfort in knowing that certain outcomes will always remain the same, as I get nervous sometimes when things are unknown. Since I normally can predict what will happen with certain people or events based on prior experience, I find it both interesting and disturbing when the outcome is different.
Efficiency and productivity are not my top priorities, but I do find them important. I like to be efficient in the things I do, but I will not go out of my way to find the “best” way to do something. I like to stay a little productive so that I don’t feel as if I haven’t done anything, but I am perfectly fine with sitting around doing nothing, too. It’s peaceful. I don’t like being in a rush.
Controlling others is something I never do on purpose, but I will admit I can manipulate sometimes. I would never negatively impact someone on purpose, but I am able to manipulate a situation if I find something to be unfair. I’m especially able to do this with the way my mind sees connections between people and things, as well as the way I see into other people’s minds and understand their feelings and actions. It sounds scary but I promise, I mean no harm! :)
Hobbies I enjoy include baking, playing video games, watching videos, writing/reading, and just being around people! I like to share the things I bake, and video games are fun because I can enjoy them alone or with my family. Playing games and watching videos, whether alone or with others, is fun and stimulating for my brain in all the right ways! I much prefer to write over speak, as I feel I can convey things better and express myself through writing. Reading allows me to look into the minds of other people and I think it’s just so fun.
Learning environments are something I normally can adapt to. Whether a teacher is strict or laid back, I am normally able to perform the same way. I can understand each side and typically earn the favor of teachers no matter their teaching styles. I tend to thrive better in environments where things are on a straight path, but I do like to express myself through various pieces of writing when possible.
When I have a project, I would much prefer to start it quickly and finish it as soon as possible. I don’t typically “wing” anything, although I won’t be torn up if something doesn’t go exactly according to plan. I’d rather break things up into manageable tasks and prefer to work alone. I strategize pretty well, but for the most part, I use the strategy as a guideline and like to be creative here and there.
My aspirations are to connect with and help people. I feel a calling to do something and be somewhere that I can help people and understand them. I want to make a difference. I want to be a part of people’s passions and learn their dreams. I want to know the mundane things about them. I want to learn, but I mainly want to help.
I fear being left and not needed. I also fear being taken advantage of and manipulated. I feel that I need to work hard in order to compensate for these things. I also greatly fear having no one to turn to. Being alone is nice, but being lonely is my worst nightmare.
The highs in my life are when I can be around people who don’t drain me. That good feeling after someone tells you you’ve made their day. That feeling you get after you and your family beat the level of the game you’ve been working hard at. The feeling after you look around at your clean room. The feeling after you finally quit that toxic job, or the feeling after someone eats the food you’ve made them. For me, all of those things paired with thinking about and understanding someone’s thoughts and intentions make me happy. They stimulate my brain, and give me that “AHA!” moment.
Lows in my life typically include feeling helpless. I hate when you don’t know how to assist someone, or when all you can do is sit with them. I also hate when people are cruel for no reason. I advocate for justice according to my moral code and I stand up for people as well as what I feel is right. I hate when I think I could have done something better. When I’m upset, I become pessimistic and tend to isolate myself. I hate being stuck with individuals who are unfeeling, uncaring, or narcissistic.
I tend to daydream more than I partake in reality. I have a hard time focusing on what is in front of me, and I like to think more on the hypotheticals. I daydream and think in order to gain a deeper understanding of the world around me, but it causes me to miss some of the simple things right in front of me.
Being alone in a blank, empty room would cause me to think about a lot of things. I would probably think of how to improve myself. I might think of birthday gifts for people, or the next thing I want to cook. I could think of nostalgic things, or the problems I am currently facing in my life. I think I would mostly think on self improvement and the interactions I’ve seen between people.
Making decisions is sometimes hard for me. I normally will go with what my gut tells me, unless there is an obvious logical choice. I tend to be indecisive sometimes, and like to make decisions quickly so I don’t have to think about them anymore. I don’t normally second guess decisions I’ve made.
Emotions are a big part of my life. I like to understand people’s thoughts and feelings, sometimes to the point where I will neglect my own. My own emotions can take me time to understand, but I can read most other people easily. I base my responses to things on how others are feeling.
Agreeing with others just to keep a conversation going is something that I find untruthful. If something goes against my personal moral code, I will either leave or change the subject. I will always kindly stand up for what I believe to be right. I tend to choose my battles, but I will never agree with something that I don’t believe in my heart.
Rules, to me, are made to be followed. Sometimes, I don’t mind bending them a little bit, but I do feel that most people should follow rules the majority of the time. I feel that rules keep things in order and are an important structure in certain places and environments.

I’m not sure if i put this in the right tag or not, but i want to know everyone’s opinions on time traveling in the game. personally i tend to time travel throughout the week sometimes, going back or forward a day or two if i missed something or want to do something in advance, etc. i’m just curious of these 2 questions specifically, but share your opinions in general:

1. if you don’t like time travel at all and are against it, why?
   
2. if you’re someone who jumps large amounts of times while time traveling (weeks/months/years), why and what’s the benefit of that as well?
   

sorry just curious, i’ve seen a lot of people either be against it or time travel super far, and as someone who stays within the same week every week, i just want to know everyone’s opinions and personal ways you guys play. sorry if this didn’t make sense, was just thinking about it and wanted to post:)

While I have a great time diving into bots, and I know the weaknesses of other units, how do I handle the chainsaw bois?
I feel like they're missing a weakpoint or something: two headshots with the Senator can kill one, but the spawn rate and head shake make that sort of shooting a bit too difficult to do. They're the main problem I have on higher difficulties. Only reliable way of killing them is throwing a few grenades and hoping.
What are their weaknesses? What tactics work well? I want to see what you all think.

I'd like to catch up on seasonal story I've missed and then get into the lore entries on ishtar.
I know there are tons of videos on YouTube compiling the story but I feel like I enjoy reading a lot more. That being said are there any written media version of the seasonal stories?
