2024.05.15 08:31 Prize-Dinner-7418 AITA for getting drunk and turning off my phone

TW: Alcoholism, drug addiction, violence, suicidal ideation, sex abuse
This is going to be a LLLLLOOONNNNGGGGG one. This story goes back quite a way, but yesterday was the tenth anniversary of the ending to this story and I'm feeling it, still got some guilt about everything that happened, wondering what I could have done differently and I just want to vent it out and hope to get some closure from it.
This story started in 2010.
Characters in this story (names are fake, duh!):
Background and intro
I had known Stephanie for many years and we had the kind of friendship that made her BFs and my GFs uncomfortable to put it lightly. We had never crossed that boundary and I wouldn't consider us in the friendzone, we were just friend, but the kind of friend where she would sit on my lap with her arms around my neck or her head on my shoulder.
At the start of 2010, Stephanie met her then boyfriend, Stephen. He tolerated me and my friendship with Stephanie because I also had a gf back then. She liked Stephanie, wasn't at all jealous of my friendship with her, so he didn't deem me too suspicious. Then my gf and I broke up for reasons unimportant and all hell broke loose for Stephen. He became convinced that I would try and steal Stephanie from him. He insisted that Stephanie introduce me to her female friends or female friends of his. Thus began what I called the year of the 50 blind dates. It was probably closer to 20, but still I like saying the year of 50 blind dates. Most of them were unremarkable and never went beyond the first date. There are some fun stories in there if anyone wants to hear them eventually!
In July of that year, I had to switch gears because I had to focus up and study for a professional exam for a certification important to my career. This exam required close to 600-800 hours of study over a 3-4 month period. So I hunkered down, told Stephanie to stop the blind dates for now because I had to focus on that. She respected my wishes and, other a text here or there, we went low contact for the last two months before the exam.
Except for one fateful night in September. Her birthday was in September and she always threw these big bashes at her house. She would throw a big pool party that started around noon and would go on to the wee hours of the morning. I knew she would harass me to go to her party, so I made some quick math and figured I would lose more energy and time trying to dodge her calls, texts and most likely visits at my place than by just going to the party itself. So when she called me to ask, I just said: "Okay I'll go to your damn party, now git." I texted her I would get there in the evening probably around 8. She texted back "Great, can't wait. Now study, bitch!"
So I ultimately get there around 8PM. Basically everybody is already drunk off their gourd. Stephanie sees me, squeals in excitement and runs to me in her bikini and just jumps in the air and slams into me, wraps her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist and gives me a big hug. I hug her back and just keep walking back to the pool where she had started, carrying her with me. I just duck my head around hers and say hi to Stephen, who just glares at me.
She drops back down and I give her her gift. We chat for a few seconds and says "There's beer in the fridge and food in the dining room." I told her I'd be right back.
I go inside and grab a beer from the fridge. I head to the dining room and the table is against the wall with a buffet of sandwiches, tomato pizza, salads, etc. I grab a plate and start putting food on it. I was focused on the task because I was starving. I barely noticed, sitting at the end of the table one of the most stunning woman I have ever seen. I just see her in my peripheral vision and I do a quick double take, quick glance at her and back to the food. I do that a second time. And finally a third time. At that point she is just straight up staring at me and I can't help but chuckle and whisper under my breath "Subtle Guy, sub-tle".
Thankfully she starts laughing too, saving me some embarassment. I look at her and greet her. She says "Hi, I'm Maryse and I'm guessing you're Guy?" I just nod and we start talking. At that point, I just thought I have no shot with her, she's so far out of my league that I'm just gonna talk to her until she sees one of the "models" hanging out by the pool and ditches me for him.
So I'm not feeling like I'm playing for anything, so I'm just myself and not nervous, just talking to her as I would any friend. We chat and she laughs at all my jokes, she gets all my cultural references. She never gets up or ditches me. The plate of food I had made and the beer I had gotten are sitting on the table next to me untouched, I was too busy with the convo to think about food or beer anymore.
After what felt like only 20-30 minutes, Stephanie comes in and tells me, fake grumpy: "So that's where you disappeared to. I invite my best friend to a party and he spends the whole night talking to someone else." I laugh and go: "What do you mean the whole night? I haven't been here that long." She says "Dude, it's 2AM. You've been here for 6 hours..." My jaw dropped and I just said: "Wow, time flies when you're having fun." Maryse chimes in, with a big smile: "It sure does!" That made me happy as you can imagine.
Now I was a little stuck because where Stephanie lived, there's no night service for the bus and the subway had been closed for an hour or so. I figured I would cab it. So I turn to Maryse and tell her: "It was absolutely lovely to meet you and I enjoyed our conversation very much." She says that she did too. I continued with "At the moment, my schedule is incredibly hectic. I'm basically working full-time, studying full-time and sleeping part-time. So I don't have a lot of free time, but if she was interested, whatever little free time I had, I would love to call her or text her to keep on getting to know her."
I see Stephanie in the backgroudnd, looking like a proud mama at how smooth that came out, knowing I was always anything but smooth with women, as proven by the string of blind dates! Maryse has a big smile and we exchange numbers. I go to Stephanie to wish her a happy birthday again. While I'm talking to her, my phone buzzes with a text from Maryse: "Just checking!"
I asked Stephanie "What's the best cab company to call in this area?" Maryse chimes in: "Where do you live?" I tell her where I lived and she goes "It's on the way to where I live, I can give you a ride if you want." Stephanie raised an eyebrow in surprise. I learned later, she did it because it absolutely was not on the way to her place, like, at all. I say that I would love that as it would give us a chance to keep talking.
We get in her car, driving to my place. We talk, she asks me what I'm studying as I hadn't mentioned it earlier. I tell her all about the boring maths I had to study. Much too quickly, we get to my place. She parks in front of my building and we keep talking. At some point, I tell her: "Normally, this is where I would try to "trick" you into coming up to my place..." She interrupts me: "You wouldn't need to trick me. I'm willing and able!"
I tell her that "As tempting as that sounds, I know who I am and I know that if you come up and things proceed to where they're going, I'm not going to be able to study for the rest of the month. I have a kind of obsessive mind and when I find someone or something I like, I can push everything else to the side in favor of that. So to make sure I can still focus on my studying, I have to go up by myself."
She looks at me, a little disappointed but then says, half-jokingly: "We don't have to go up, there's a backseat right there!" We laugh and I give her a kiss and wish her a good night. I managed to stay strong and go back to my condo. Damn it, why did I have to stay strong!!!
My exam was at the beginning of november. During the month of october, we texted a bunch of times and talked on the phone. We went for coffee a couple of times and dinner once. She respected my boundaries and never pushed for more, which I appreciated but also hated at the same time, if that makes sense. The exam came and it was a monster of a Friday. I slept for basically 18 hours after the exam as the adrenalin dropped and my system crashed.
I texted her when I woke up at around 1PM. She was working at the clothing store Stephanie owned. She said "I'm off at 5PM, wanna meet me." I said: "Duh! Why do you think I'm texting? ;)" So I met her at the store downtown. I asked if she wanted to grab a drink, go for dinner, or what. She proposed going to her place and getting some take out. Stephanie who was closing the store at that moment, came up to us and said: "Hey, so what are we doing?" I said: "WE, that is Maryse and I, are going to her place and getting some takeout. Bye!" I'm sure you'll understand when I tell you that no food was ever ordered that night!
Thus followed a whirlwind month of November where any free time we had was spent together, and I wasn't going to complain!
The troubles
By the start of december, things were still going great with us. One saturday night, we were having dinner at a restaurant and I mention that this coming Friday is my office Christmas party, that it's employees only, so we wouln't see each other that night. She tells me: "Oh sure, that's fine! It'll give me a chance to go see some girlfriends I've been neglecting lately." I said "Great! BTW I also got us a reservation at [this great restaurant she had mentioned a few times] for next Saturday, so we could go there and I'll tell you all about my party and you can tell me all about her night with the girls!"
That was settled, I thought. I was wrong. On Thursday, we had spent the evening together at her place and I was about to leave to go back to my place. She tells me: "So are you coming to meet me at the store tomorrow or do I go to your place?" I reminded her: "Neither, tomorrow is my office Christmas party and we won't see each other tomorrow." She said: "Oh right, I forgot." I asked her if she had made plans with her friends like she had mentioned last saturday. She said that they were all busy tomorrow and weren't available.
She suggested "If your party is boring, maybe you could come meet me." I retorted that it wasn't going to be, knowing who was going to be there.
"Yeah but what if?"
"But it won't"
"But what IFFFFFF?" she kept insisting and I kept saying no. After what felt like 30 minutes of that (probably only 2-3 minutes in reality), I had enough and just said to end the argument: "Okay, if it's boring, I'll come. but it won't be." She said: "Cool" with a big smile on her face. I came to learn that that smile meant "Challenge accepted".
The following night, my colleague and I were pregaming in a conference room before leaving for the party proper and my phone buzzes. Maryse was wishing me a good party. I replied. She texted me again. I replied. She texted again, but I was in a conversation with a colleague so I didn't reply or even look at the phone. My phone buzzes again. Still talking, and didn't want to be rude to my colleague. Another buzz. I just kept talking. Phone buzzes differently, she was now calling because I hadn't answered her texts.
"Why aren't you replying to my texts?"
"Hey, sorry, was talking to my colleague Patrick."
"What? you don't want to talk to me?"
"I am talking to you now."
"Why didn't you reply to my texts?"
"Because it would have been rude to my colleague to pull my phone out while talking to him."
"But you're talking to me now."
"Because I thought something was wrong, maybe it was an emergency."
"I wanted to talk to you, that's all."
"Well, gotta go back to the party. Talk to you later."
She kept texting and if I didn't reply right away, she would call after two or three missed texts. After about 2 hours of this, I stopped answering the texts. When she called back, I asked her: "Aren't you supposed to be working?" which started another round of guilt-tripping of "why are you asking me this? you don't want to talk to me?" At that point I had had enough and wanted to enjoy my party. I remembered that the Blackberry (no shaming old tech!) I had had an annoying feature, but I was hoping to put it to good use at that moment.
Whenever the battery would get really low, like less than 1%, it would let out an ear-piercing BEEP for about 3 seconds, reminiding you to charge it and giving you a heart attack all at the same time. It would do that even when you were in silent mode. It had happened a few days earlier when I was with Maryse. I figured, if I press a button on the Blackberry, it would make a beep too that could be heard through the phone. So while I was talking to Maryse, I pressed my thumb on the space bar for a good 3 seconds and sputtered; "what... the .... what?" trying to put on a somewhat believable performance.
She asked what that noise was and I tell her that it was my blackberry letting me know I was low battery and it might shut off any second. I told her "Listen I'm gonna wish you a good night, I'm having a good time at my party so I'll see you tomorrow at 5PM to go spend our evening together. I hope you have a good....." and hung up mid-sentence. I promptly shut my phone off and went back to the party. I concede that I may be a bit of an AH for that move.
The party was great, I got drunk much quicker than I expected owing to the fact that I hadn't had a drink in over two months because Maryse didn't drink so I didn't either when we were together, and we were always together. At 1AM, I went home and passed out on my bed.
This is another place where I may have been an AH. I didn't turn my cell phone back on and I unplugged my home line too, because I wanted to sleep the deep sleep of the drunkard. I woke up at around 1:30 PM, not knowing it was already too late. In my mind, I was meeting Maryse at 5PM to go out on the town that night. Maryse had other ideas as you'll see.
So like I said, I woke up at 1:30PM and was sticky with alcohol sweat, so I went straight for the shower to get clean again. While in the shower, my stomach grumbled with hunger and I started daydreaming of bacon and eggs. That pushed me out of the shower right quick. I dried myself off quickly, tied the towel around my waist and went to the fridge. No bacon.... booo. Looked at the egg compartment... no eggs... booo again. Okay then, how about a cream cheese bagel. No cream cheese, damn it. Look in the pantry, no bagels.... god. I was starting to get angry. Okay, cereals then. I pick up the cereal box, that mofo was empty and I get mad: "who's the idiot who puts the empty box back in the pantry?" I remembered I live alone.
I close the fridge dejected and see the grocery list stuck on the fridge, taunting me with everything I wanted to eat for breakfast written on it. But I felt like if I went to the grocery store hungry as I Was, I'm just gonna pay 600$ and not get one single healthy thing to eat. I then remembered there's a restaurant next to the grocery store that serves breakfast until 3PM. I get excited! I get dressed quickly, grab my wallet and keys, put my boots on, my coat on, wrap my scarf, my tuque and my gloves and go to the restaurant. If you notice, I didn't mention my phone in there.
I get to the restaurant and confirm that they still have breakfast and get even more excited when she confirms it. I order the "heart attack", at least that's how I nicknamed it: 3 eggs, 3 servings of bacon, 2 sausages, and, I guess to give one peace of mind, fruit (or to be precise, one single solitary slice of orange). Now that the food is ordered and coming I figured I would check if I have any messages. I pat the pocket where my phone always is. No phone. uh-oh. I start clutching evert pocket, no luck.
I wonder if I should go back home after the meal before going to the grocery store and decide against it, it would be too long a detour. So I scarf my breakfast down, rush through the grocery store. I get home and set my bags down in front of the fridge. I go pick up my blackberry. I turn it back on. The little tape icon tells me there are messages on my voicemail, at that time there were no red dots with a number in it to tell you how many.
I connect to the voicemail while starting to put the groceries away. The little automated voice tells me "You have 25 new messages." I pull the phone away from my ear, look at it in disbelief as if saying: "are you f'ing kidding me?" So I press 1 to start playing the messages.
Remember: Maryse knew I was at a party with a dead phone, no chargers and I probably wouldn't get home until 1AM. From 6:30PM, when my phone died, to 11:34 PM, when she went to sleep she left me 9 messages. BTW I know she went to sleep at 11:34PM because she left me a message saying "it's 11:34PM and I'm going to bed. Thinking of you." The 9 messages were in the same vein. These are the salient details, but the messages were all much longer.
She woke up at 7:15 the following day, I'll let you guess how I know that tidbit of information! She left me 5 more messages like those from the day before: 7:15 woke up. 7:35 going to take a shower. 7:55 out of the shower. 8:25 getting ready to leave for work 8:50 walking out of the subway to go to the store.
She leaves me another message at 9 that was different. She sounded very excited as if she had had the best idea in the world: "Hey it's 9AM, I'm about to start my shift. I know we're only supposed to meet after my shift, but what if you came and met me for lunch so you could tell me all about your party." I just did my best Scooby-Doo "Ruh-Roh" and chuckled that I blew that, not thinking the calamity that was awaiting me.
Another couple of messages to talk logistics: "I could take my lunch at 12 or 12:30, let me know which you prefer." "I'm taking my lunch at 12:30"
A slightly worried message: "It's 11:15 and you stil have not said if you were coming or not, are you okay?"
The first bomb goes off and I knew I was in trouble then: "Where are you? We're supposed to meet for lunch and you still haven't given me any sign of life, you're not answering your home phone either, what happened?" Reminder: we were not supposed to meet for lunch, she suggested doing so a couple of hours earlier and I never agreed to anything. I guess she told her colleagues I would meet her for lunch and it was now fact and could perhaps make her look bad in front of her colleagues.
The second bomb drops: "It's almost noon now, WHERE ARE YOU? Stephanie says you're probably sleeping off your drunk, but I don't believe her. I'm sure you got yourself a slut and cheated on me. Didn't you? didn't you, you asshole." Stephanie knows me very well, but that wasn't enough for Maryse it seems.
Ensued four more messages from 12:30 to 1:15, where she starts sounding more and more drunk and accusatory, spewing more attacks like in the message above. At that point I already knew it was over, there was no coming back from that. I can understand having trust issues, but that was nuclear. I don't tolerate jealousy because of horrible experiences with a couple of jealous toxic exes.
A final message comes in, and it's a different voice, that of my best friend being more than a little angry: "Hey Guy, listen, Maryse tells me you had a Christmas party yesterday, so I'm guessing you're sleeping off your drunk, still. But call me when you get this. I put Maryse, who's f'ing drunk, in the backstore so she can dry off and "do inventory". She can't be on the sales floor obviously and I just don't feel safe sending her home in the state she's in. Call me to tell me how you want to handle this."
At that point I had finished putting away my groceries and had put my boots and my coat on and was making my way to the subway to go to the store. I call Stephanie and tell her I got the messages and I was coming. She was right, I was sleeping off my drunk and had just woke up (didn't feel the need to mention the breakfast and grocery store). I ask her if she knows what I'm gonna do when I get there. She says that she knows and understands. She knows my bad history.
When I get out of the subway, I call her again before getting to the store. I ask her how she wants me to do this. It's her store and I don't want to create drama in front of her customers. Does she want me to wait outside and she tells Maryse to meet me in the street or do I go in the store and she takes me to the backstore and I do it there? She says to come to the store.
I walk in the store and every saleswomen on the floor looks at me and gives me the biggest case of the stink-eye. They only have Maryse's side of the story, so they think I did all these horrible things. I see Stephanie in the middle of the store and I walk towards her. She shakes her head and points me towards the cash register. I look over there and see Julia, a salesperson that I've known for a couple of years and really like, who also happens to be the biggest gossip in the store. I understand what Stephanie is trying to do. She's gonna make me tell her my story in front of Julia so Julia can spread the "good news" to the other employees and rehabilitate my name possibly.
So I get to the register and say Hi to Julia. She barely acknoledges me. Steph joins me. She asks me:
"How are you?"
"I was better an hour ago, before I listened to those voicemails. I had gone to our office party last night, had a great night, got drunk off my ass, got home at around 2 and woke up around 2."
Julia asks "Maryse told us you were supposed to meet her for lunch."
"No we weren't. I have a reservation for tonight at XYZ restaurant. I was supposed to take the day to do errands, stuff around the condo and meet her here at closing time. She suggested that it could be fun if I came at lunchtime to meet her, but that was never the plan."
Julia asks again "But why didn't you answer your phone?"
"It ran out of battery last night during the party and when I got home, I was so drunk that I forgot to plug it back in. I only plugged it when I woke up at 2. That's when the messages came in."
Julia asks "She says she tried calling your home line and you didn't answer and your machine didn't kick in."
"Yeah, that one's my fault, I knew I wanted to sleep and telemarketers have a habit of calling me early saturday mornings so I didn't want to be awoken by a call for a rug cleaning service, so I unplugged it yesterday morning, knowing I would be drunk when I got home and forget and be angry if I was awakened by a telemarketer."
Julia gave me a hint of a smile, showing me she was starting to believe me. She asked me a few more questions and then she asked what I was gonna do. I told her that whatever I'll do, I would tell Maryse first.
I looked at Stephanie and said: "Can you open the back store so I can go see her?" So we went to the backstore. As we reached the door, it swung opened and out popped Maryse, looking absolutely terrifying, I actually jumped back when I saw her. Her usual perfect makeup was completely smeared, her mascara streaking down her cheeks from the crying. Her hair was disheveled. She was a mess. Apparently, she had had enough of waiting back there and was planning on leaving the store to go home and had put her coat and boots on.
When she saw me, she went into an unhinged rant about me being an asshole for cheating on her, me not being great in bed, me not treating her right, etc. I let her vent everything she had to say, I looked at Stephanie and apologized for creating such a scene in her store. I tell Maryse we should go outside and talk in private. She keeps on yelling, but when I grab her hand to lead her outside, she follows.
When we get outside, her anger had started to wane a little, or maybe just her energy. I was able to talk to her to explain everything, how I had gotten drunk, had overslept (alone) and woke up at 2PM. I reminded her that we were only supposed to meet at 5PM not for lunch. The anger was leaving her and a smile almost appeared on her face. Through all of this I was being very calm and patient with her, which she interpreted as me not being mad at her. I then said in a firmer tone: "However..." and let it hang for a second.
The beginning smile vanished. I continued: "When you accused me of cheating on you, that broke me. That triggered memories of toxic exes who would always accuse me of cheating, not trusting me when I would tell them where I was, snooping on me, stalking me. Because of those experiences, I have a zero tolerance policy for jealousy. I told her that if she was behaving like after only two months of dating, it didn't bode well for the future and I have to protect myself."
At that, the tears started again and she just turned and ran/waddled away. I told her to wait, but she didn't hear me. I turned towards the entrance of the store to see basically all the employees and customers milling around the door trying to catch the drama. I went back inside to talk to my best friend. The mood had definitely changed and no one was giving me the stink eye anymore, but I didn't really care. I was just sad that it had ended, but proud of myself for having stood up for myself.
So AITA for getting drunk and keeping my phone turned off?
There is a lot more to this story and if you want to learn what happened afterwards, then read on.
The immediate aftermath
So I went back inside the store and talked to Stephanie. I told her that I had a reserrvation for XX restaurant and if she wanted to go with Stephen, she could take it, I wasn't in the mood for a dinner. She said "I already have plans for tonight, but thanks for offering." Julia said she would go with me if I wanted, but I just said that I wasn't in the mood to go out. I just wanted to crash and eat a pizza and get into a food coma.
Stephanie said she didn't feel comfortable leaving me by myself and I should join them at her house. They were having friends over to play board games and it could at least distract me a little. I said why not. So brimming with enthusiasm, I went to play bored games. I left early as I wasn't in the mood. I was feeling a little better, but still a bit down. I thanked Stephanie for the invite and left. I got home and just passed out on the bed.
I woke up at around 7AM the next morning and I saw along the corners of the window the tell-tale signs of a snow-drift and got excited as it was the first snow of the season. I pushed the curtains aside and looked on to see a beautiful white carpet outside. It was early enough that very few cars had marred the whiteness. I was admiring it when I noticed that, against the red bricks of the building across the street, there was a pink blotch. As I focused, the blotch became human shaped and I cleared my eyes enough to realize that it was Maryse and she was raising her cell phone to her ear.
On cue, my phone rings. I pick it up. Still sounding drunk, she asks me if we can speak. I ask her to give me five minutes to get dressed and I'll meet her down there. She asks why she can't come up. I say that I'm not sure I want her in my apartment. She says that it's cold out. I say: "Good, then this will be quick."
I get dressed and meet her outside. I'm still bleary-eyed from having woken up 5 minutes ago, but I try to get my wits together. I tell her that we're going to walk to the subway. It 's a 10-minute walk normally, but with her drunkenness, it might take 15-20 minutes. That's how long she has to tell me what she wants to tell me.
She wants to apologize for accusing me of cheating on her. She says she knows I'm a great guy and... I may be the A-hole at this point too, but I start to drift off in my little bubble and start daydreaming about, if I go back to bed, would there still be some residual heat or would it be cold? I could take a hot shower and warm the bed that way. I could still hear her in the background making excuses, saying how she had been cheated on, but I wasn't really listening.
During the daydreaming I notice it got quite quiet. I look on my left and she's not there, I turn around she's a good 5-6 steps behind me looking angry and she says: "you're not listening" I just say: "when you're right, you're right." I tell her that I understand she's been hurt too in the past, and I hope she can work to resolve her issues, but I was done and I'm going back to bed. I was a bit harsh there, but I was tired and still down.
I walk past her and get maybe 10 paces past her when I hear a scream coming from her. I turn around and I see her messing with something inside her coat. She pulls out a chef's knife with like an 8-inch blade. That wakes me the fuck up. Byebye bleary eyes, hello wakefulness. better than a cup of coffee or a red bull I tell you!
So she's got the knife, she's screaming something that I can't quite understand. She gets quiet and then she charges at me with the knife. If I'm being honest I could have stayed where I was and she probably would have missed me anyways, but someone charges at me with a knife, I'm gonna nope out of there. I take a massive side step and once she gets to where I was and realizes that I'm no longer there, she turns her head towards me and says heyyyyy.
At that point, I have a moment of clarity and see what's gonna happen. She's drunk running one way and looking another, I know she's gonna trip. As I predicted, she stumbled over her feet and starts falling to the ground. I start praying to god and anybody who would listen: "Please don't let her cut herself. I don't want to have to explain this to the doctors, EMTs and nurses. I don't want her drunk ass deciding to take revenge on me by saying I did it."
Thankfully, she winds up in a sitting position on the sidewalk holding the knife up and it was clean. Thank god for small miracles. She starts crying and, other moment of clarity, I know she's gonna turn the knife on herself now. I jump towards her and I realize I was right, the knife starts moving towards her left wrist. I tackle her, grab her right wrist and twist it so she drops the knife. I pick the knife back up and put it in my pocket. She looks at me crying and says: "Why did you stop me?"
I pick her up and take her back to my building. In my building there was a couch in the lobby, so I take her there and I sit her down and plop myself next to her. I look at her and wonder out loud: "What am I gonna do with you? What can I do?"
She goes: "Just let me go, I'll be good." I tell her that's not going to happen. I realize I have three options and I give her the three options.
"So here's the choice I give you.
1- I pull out my phone, call 911 and tell them about the attempted murder back there and they send the police to arrest you. I don't want to do that because that could derail your life and not get you the help you need. Besides, they might not do anything anyway as it's your word against mine.
2= I pull out my phone, call 911 and tell them about the attempted suicide back there and that you need to be placed on a 72 hour hold. I could do that, but at the same time, again it's my word against yours, so maybe they don't believe me.
3- I'm gonna hazard a guess here. From what I've seen, you have alcohol problems. So I'm gonna guess you were in AA, had been sober for a while, I want to say 6 months, maybe less, when we met."
She confirms my guess.
"alright so option 3, I'm guessing you had a sponsor in AA." she nods "we call them up and tell them about your relapse and what happened this morning. Can they come get you and take care of you?"
She takes her phone out and picks a contact and calls. She hands me the phone. Someone answers and I explain the situation. They said they were coming right away. I give them my address, they get here 15 minutes later. Maryse had fallen asleep in the meantime, so I wake her up gently and help her to the car. Off she went.
I went back to my apartment and just crashed back to sleep.
A month later
Mid-january, my phone rings and I see Maryse's number on there. I send her to voice mail. Another call. Voicemail again. 5 minutes later, Private number calling. "Gee I wonder who that could be." Voicemail once more.
Afterwards, I didn't get any unidentified callers for a little over a week. One afternoon, I was at work and my phone rings and it's a number I do not recognize. I pick up.
"Hello."
"Hi, is this Guy?"
"Yes, to whom am I speaking?"
"This is Hannah, Maryse's sponsor. we spoke last month." I started fearing the worst.
"Yes, I remember. How can I help you?"
"Maryse tried to reach you last week and you rejected the calls. I think it could help Maryse if you listened to what she had to say. You're obviously not obligated to entertain her, but I think despite everything that happened, you still care about her or you would not have called me that morning."
"You are right, I do still care about Maryse. I'm just not sure how good it would be for her to meet me this soon after everything that happened. I understand wanting to work through the 9th step and making amends, but..." She interrupts me.
"So you know about the steps."
"Yes I have friends in the program. which is how I could guess that she was in the program too that morning."
"You know it's important."
"I know. I know. How about this: we meet in public at a cafe, you would have to be there. Not necessarily at the table with us, but nearby in case she needs help, in case meeting me causes her pain. Tell her I promise to be in a more receptive mood than I was that morning."
So we make an appointment for that saturday afternoon.
I get to the coffee shop. She's already there, and so is her sponsor. I realize happily that she's not wearing makeup. I say happily because that means she understands that this is not a date, but something serious. She's still stunningly beautiful, and I feel sad almost right away.
I grab a coffee and go join her at the table.
"Hey" I say,
"Hey. So this is gonna be uncomfortable, but thank you for agreeing to meet me and for coming, I appreciate it more than you know. I'm sure you heard I quit the store."
"I have, I'm sorry about that, I hope you didn't do it just because of me."
"No, I needed time to focus on myself for now."
She proceeds to tell me about how I wasn't far off with my guess. She had been sober 4 months when we met. Now she had 39 days. She tells me that in AA, if you are single, they recommend not dating anyone new for at least the first year of your sobriety as it can cause issues, similar to what happened with us. I was like her "drug" and as long as I was available, she could get her fix. But the moment I wasn't available all hell broke loose, and that is what led her back to drinking that day.
I told her I'm glad to see her back sober again this quickly and I hope she can get all the help she needs from it. I ask her if she wants to talk to me about her drinking.
She starts to share a story about how she started drinking at around 11 years old. When puberty hit her, she got into a deep depression because the sexual feelings she was starting to feel were triggering responses. As a child she had been abused by two of her uncles repeatedly and her parents never believed her. They accused her of trying to make herself interesting. That was until they caught one of those uncles red-handed.
They finally believed and took the necessary steps to protect their daughter. But they were poor and they couldn't afford therapy. So she never really got help for it. At 11, she started self medicating the depression with alcohol. When alcohol wasn't enough, she added drugs.
At that point, I was full on crying. She asked me if I wanted her to stop. I told her that she doesn't have to stop. That the tears are there because that was one more thing we had in common. I was also a survivor of sexual assault as a child. In my case, it wasn't a family member, it was only a stranger, so it only happened once. But I also self-medicated with alcohol at the onset of puberty, switching to drugs later on too. I was lucky to avoid the pitfalls of addiction, but I was still dealing with my demons, slowly making peace with them.
So there we were, sitting at a coffee shop, both crying and holding each other. I tell her that I think it's great she's getting help for her alcoholism and addicion, but was she doing anything to help with the underlying issue, the original trauma? She said no, she couldn't afford therapy. I tell her that I am a member of a survivors group and if she is interested, I could get her into a meeting and perhaps learn to heal that part of herself too.
She said that she could give it a try. I tell her I have to talk to the other members to know if I can bring someone new and I would let her know. If they said yes, we would go to her first meeting together, I would introduce her and then we would coordinate so that I never went to meetings where she was. I wanted to do that because I wanted her first few meetings to be about healing and I didn't want our own history to be intertwined or mixed in with that.
After that, we left both feeling content and, while not necesarily happy, at peace if you will. Later on, I contacted Stephanie who was one of the "pillars" of the support group (that's how we met) to ask her if it was okay for me to bring in a new member to the group. She said sure. She asked if it was anyone she knew. I told her she would have to meet her at the meeting if she decides to come.
We were having a meeting the following day. I called Maryse, told her the time and place, and she said she would be there. She came to the group meeting and was shocked to see Stephanie there but Stephanie kinda guessed that it was Maryse I was referring to.
I introduce her, we start sharing stories, talking about how we're feeling, etc. The meeting was good and Maryse liked the vibe. So for the first six months after that, I never saw Maryse and we planned which meeting we would be attending to ensure we didn't cross paths. She started feeling much better.
After maybe 2 and a half years, she finally felt ready and she started dating again. She met someone and she fell for him. They were together for about six months, she looked happy. Unfortunately after about six months, she caught him cheating on her. We tried supporting her, being good friends, cursing his name, doing all the things we could to make sure she didn't relapse. But on April 5th 2014, she ODed on heroin. She was hospitalized for 2 weeks after that.
Hannah took her in and she set up a room for Maryse. She was still in a fragile state, so a group of her friends and I started taking turns watching over Maryse, making sure there was always at least one person there with her to keep her company.
Despite our vigilance, on May 14th 2014, when Hannah was out running a quick errand, she was gone maybe 15 minutes tops, Maryse found a way to cut her wrists and she died. We found a note saying that "the OD was not an accident, and neither was that. Thanks for everything you did for me. I love you all, but I can't do this anymore."
It feels good to write that story (I'll just ignore the fat tears rolling down my face!). Thanks for reading this far and sorry for the long story, I just started writing and couldn't stop. I apologize if it was a bit of a bummer.

2024.05.15 08:08 ProHunter4life Testing Out Remington's Upgraded 870 Fieldmaster Shotgun

Testing Out Remington's Upgraded 870 Fieldmaster Shotgun
870 Field Master
Hey there fellow shotgun enthusiasts! Have you heard about Remington's latest iteration of the classic 870 pump-action shotgun? They just reintroduced the 870 Fieldmaster with some sweet upgrades over the standard Express model. We're talking a classy walnut stock, sling swivel studs, drilled and tapped receiver, and even three choke tubes right out of the box. All that for just a Benjamin more than the Express. I took this fancy new Fieldmaster out to the range to put some shells through it and see if these upgrades are more than just superficial. The initial impressions are promising - the action cycles smooth as butter and it ejects shells like a champ thanks to the improved barrel and chamber finishing. The walnut stock also gives it a refined look and feel. This is shaping up to be a winner, but stick around as I put it through its paces to see if it holds up over time!

First Impressions of the New Remington 870 Fieldmaster

When you first pick up the new Remington 870 Fieldmaster, you'll immediately notice the premium feel. Compared to the 870 Express, the walnut stock and metal finish are a big upgrade. The wood-to-metal fit is tight, and the deep, rich walnut hue gives it a classy look.
870

Smooth Action and Reliable Performance

At the shooting range, the Fieldmaster performed flawlessly. The action is buttery smooth, and shells ejected effortlessly after each shot. The trigger has a clean break, and the recoil pad helps tame some of the kick from the 12-gauge shells. The Fieldmaster comes with three choke tubes (improved cylinder, modified, and full), allowing you to customize your pattern for different types of targets or game. At 25-30 yards, the modified choke tube produced nice, even patterns.

Built to Last

While the Fieldmaster hasn’t been out long enough to determine long-term reliability, if it’s anything like the original 870, it’ll last generations. The receiver is milled from a solid billet of steel, and the barrel has a tough matte blued finish. All components are built to strict tolerances, so you know each part will work together perfectly.
For an additional $100 over the 870 Express, the Fieldmaster is worth the extra coin. You get a shotgun that handles and shoots like a dream, has premium components built to last, and looks like a shotgun that costs twice as much. If you want an affordable, dependable pump-action shotgun, the new 870 Fieldmaster deserves a spot at the top of your list.

How the Fieldmaster Improves on the 870 Express

The biggest thing you'll notice with the Fieldmaster is how smooth the action is compared to the Express. Remington has made improvements to the machining of the barrel and chamber, resulting in shells ejecting effortlessly. The slide glides back and forth without a hitch. For a pump-action shotgun, it's practically silk.

Premium Wood and Metal

The Fieldmaster also upgrades the materials. Instead of the hardwood stock and basic finish of the Express, you get a handsome walnut stock and forend. The receiver has a matte blued finish rather than just a basic matte black. These premium materials make the Fieldmaster feel like a high-quality firearm from the moment you pick it up.

Added Features

https://preview.redd.it/ajvecioj7j0d1.png?width=731&format=png&auto=webp&s=2c1e30954a6ac3e10d328370ba72070888154755
In addition to the improved action and premium materials, the Fieldmaster includes features missing from the Express like a drilled and tapped receiver, sling swivel studs, and three choke tubes (cylinder, modified, and full). The ability to mount optics and the inclusion of multiple choke tubes provides added versatility for both hunting and target shooting.
Overall, the Fieldmaster is a noticeable step up from the 870 Express in terms of build quality, materials, and features. For the extra $100, you're getting an 870 that handles and shoots like a dream with some useful extras. If you want an affordable, all-purpose shotgun that will last a lifetime, the Fieldmaster is worth the investment. The improved 870 platform combined with that walnut stock is hard to beat.

Range Testing the Upgraded 870 Fieldmaster Shotgun

Accuracy and Pattern

When you first take the Fieldmaster out to the range, you’ll likely be impressed with how accurately it shoots. At 25 to 50 yards, the three choke tubes—improved cylinder, modified, and full—provided tight shot patterns on the target. The smooth bore and polished chamber of the upgraded barrel seem to help the shot stay together as it leaves the muzzle.

Reliability

The true test of any shotgun is how reliably it cycles and ejects shells. During several rounds of shooting, the Fieldmaster performed flawlessly, extracting and ejecting shells cleanly after each shot. The action felt smooth and didn’t bind up or jam at all. This type of reliability and smooth functioning is what you hope for in an upgraded gun.

Handling and Feel

One of the biggest improvements with the Fieldmaster is its upgraded furniture and metal finish. The walnut stock and forend feel solid and comfortable in your hands. And the blued metal finish on the barrel and receiver looks sharp and high quality. The Fieldmaster just feels like a premium shotgun when you shoulder and shoot it.
Overall, the initial range testing of Remington’s 870 Fieldmaster showed it to be a noticeable upgrade over the standard 870 Express. With its tighter shot patterns, smoother action, and upgraded fit and finish, the Fieldmaster would make a great all-around shotgun for upland bird hunting, waterfowl hunting, or sporting clays. While more long-term testing is still needed, the first impressions of this reintroduced shotgun are very positive. For an additional $100 over the base model 870 Express, the Fieldmaster seems worth the extra investment.

Conclusion

So in the end, the Remington 870 Fieldmaster brings some nice upgrades to the table compared to the Express model. The premium walnut stock and metal finishing look great, and the three choke tubes add versatility. While the Fieldmaster costs more, the initial performance indicates it’s a worthy successor to the 870 legacy. The true test will come through long-term use, but if you want a refined 870 with some classic styling, the Fieldmaster deserves strong consideration. Time will tell, but the foundation is solid for this reinvigorated shotgun.

2024.05.15 08:08 Yo_Boy_34 Selling Cellphone Protection Plan

Salam Everyone,
I have a question and searched all over the internet but could find the answer or maybe I didn't look hard enough. I am living in the US and just started a new job at a mobile company where I would have to sell plans, phones, accesorries, etc. When selling a phone, we have to sell the insurance (damage protection plan) as well. Company requires you to sell insurance, and you get fixed small percentage out of it for at least 6 months if customer keeps the insurance. Let's suppose if customer keeps it for 12 months, I'll get commision for 6 months. if he cancels it in 3 months, I only keep commission for 3 months.
The situation is that if I dont sell the insurance and dont meet the target, I would get fired from the job. Their main income is not generated through selling insurance, but still, we gotta do it.
My question is that in this case are we allowed to sell it? I am planning to keep the note of every insurance I sell and donate that commision to charity and not keep it for myself. However, there is a problem, if the customer comes in 2 months and cancels that insurance, there is no way to know if that specific insurance i sold 2 months ago is now not included in the comission.
What do I do?

2024.05.15 08:05 tempmailgenerator Enhancing Data Integrity in Protocol Buffers with Email Validation

Unlocking Data Precision with Protocol Buffers

In the realm of data serialization, Protocol Buffers, or Protobufs, have emerged as a cornerstone technology, offering a lightweight, efficient, and language-agnostic format for structuring and transmitting data across various systems. Developed by Google, Protobufs serve as a compelling alternative to XML and JSON, focusing on minimizing message size and processing time. Their design allows for clear, precise definitions of data structures with the added benefit of generating source code for the most popular programming languages, thereby ensuring seamless integration and data manipulation across diverse computing environments.
However, the utility of Protobufs extends beyond mere data serialization. A significant aspect of leveraging Protobufs effectively involves enforcing data integrity and validation rules, such as email validation within serialized data. This layer of validation is crucial for applications that rely on accurate and validated user input, especially for fields that require specific formats, like email addresses. By embedding validation rules directly within Protobuf definitions, developers can ensure that data adheres to specified constraints from the get-go, thus enhancing the reliability and robustness of data communication protocols.
Command Description
message Defines a message type in Protobuf, which is a data structure similar to a class in object-oriented languages.
required Specifies that a field must be provided and cannot be left unset when the message is serialized.
string Indicates the type of a field that holds a sequence of characters, used for text.
pattern Used in validation frameworks that work with Protobuf to define a regex pattern a string field must match.

Implementing Email Validation in Protobuf

Protobuf schema definition
message User { required string name = 1; required string email = 2 [(validate.rules).string.pattern = "^[^\\s@]+@[^\\s@]+\\.[^\\s@]+$"]; } 

Deep Dive into Protobuf Email Validation

Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) provide a systematic way of encoding structured data, especially useful in the context of network communication and data storage where efficiency is crucial. At its core, Protobuf allows for the definition of structured data schema through .proto files, which then can be compiled into code in various programming languages. This process ensures that the data structure is maintained across different systems, offering a robust mechanism for data serialization and deserialization. When it comes to enforcing data integrity and validation, Protobuf itself does not natively support complex validation rules out of the box. This limitation necessitates the integration of additional validation logic either at the application level or through the use of custom options in .proto definitions.
To address the need for sophisticated data validation, such as verifying that an email address fits a specific format, developers can leverage extensions and third-party libraries designed to augment Protobuf's capabilities. For instance, by defining custom validation rules, such as regex patterns for email addresses, within the .proto file, one can ensure that the data adheres to certain standards before it is processed by the application. This approach not only streamlines data validation by catching errors early in the data handling process but also enhances security by preventing invalid or malicious data from penetrating the system. Ultimately, incorporating email validation directly into Protobuf definitions promotes a more secure, efficient, and reliable data communication strategy.

Exploring Protocol Buffers and Email Validation

Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) offer a high-performance, language-neutral, and platform-neutral mechanism for serializing structured data, similar to XML but smaller, faster, and simpler. At its core, Protobuf allows developers to define data structures in a special language and compile them into native code for various programming environments, enabling seamless data exchange across disparate systems. This efficiency makes Protobuf an ideal choice for developing complex applications, where data integrity and validation are crucial. For instance, integrating email validation within Protobuf schemas ensures that only valid email addresses are processed, significantly reducing the potential for errors and improving overall data quality.
Email validation in Protobuf can be implemented through custom validation rules or by integrating with external validation libraries that extend Protobuf's functionality. This approach allows developers to specify complex validation patterns, such as regex for email addresses, directly within their Protobuf definitions. This built-in validation mechanism is particularly useful in microservices architectures, where data consistency across services is paramount. By enforcing data validation rules at the serialization level, Protobuf helps maintain a high level of data integrity and reliability across the network, laying a solid foundation for robust and error-resistant applications.

Wrapping Up Protocol Buffers and Validation

As we've explored, Protocol Buffers, with their efficient data serialization capabilities, play a pivotal role in the development of scalable and maintainable applications. The ability to enforce data integrity through validation rules, especially for critical data types like email addresses, underscores the versatility and power of Protobuf. This technology not only ensures that data is compact and fast to transmit but also maintains its correctness across different parts of a system. By leveraging Protobuf for both its serialization efficiency and its validation capabilities, developers can create more reliable and secure applications. This dual functionality makes Protobuf an invaluable tool in the modern developer's toolkit, facilitating better data management and communication in a wide range of applications, from microservices to large-scale distributed systems. The key takeaway is that Protobuf offers more than just a method for structuring data; it provides a comprehensive solution for ensuring data validity and integrity, which is critical in today's digital landscape.

2024.05.15 07:43 puffyeden How to make Tesco lose a lot of money

Are you a Tesco worker?
Unhappy with the CEO being a twat
Missing that overtime which you used to buy things to make you happy or at least fucking eat
WELL HERE IS A GUIDE ON HOW TO GET TESCO TO LOSE LITERALLY MILLIONS!
1) Work in a Tesco Extra, expresses stores we salute you.
2) Work on either a) stock control, j14, or any replenishment department, for this guide dairy is preferred.
3) When asked to find gap: DONT. Especially long-life with any luck it will be zeroed and a new order will be generated meaning your backroom will flood itself with longlife goods and leave no room for short life.
4) Once that backroom is starting to get full stop all rotation but overfill the shelf, this will mean nobody will be bothered to check or have time to check every item. Pizza, yogurt, juice, meal deals all great for overflow including many more.
5) Wait, doing this repeatedly will mean eventually your store will have an independent inspection. It is a ONE MILLION POUND FINE PER ITEM THAT IS OUT OF DATE. Collectively if enough people did this we could fuck up Tesco.
6) This is just a cherry on top, labels going missing is actually a big factor in customer not buying products, take the hint and dont replace labels and if you can take them out too.
Finally, you cant get in trouble for not finding something and not rotating. This is about the respect you deserve our perfection is the CEO's reward, the amount we are being fucked over just for that twat to give himself a payrise is unacceptable.
P.s. To the book lickers who peaked in year 10 when you made one funny joke, the CEO wont read this and he doesnt like you: getting upset because some people aren't cucks like you does nobody any favours so sit in your cuck chair while we proactively do something, im sure youre used to it.

2024.05.15 07:40 gamingboss2478 New fnaf game leaked

This new fnaf game will be made by James House and will be called FNaF: A new beginning, the game will focus around a new main character named George. This game is going to be a card game with cards and will take place in the fnaf 1 restaurant. There will be a hard mode, much shorter than the main game in which the main antagonist is scott cawthon. The hard mode is not Canon. Freddy will be a card in the game with the following stats, 10 attack, which is an okay amount because the average health for an enemy is 30, and freddy immediately dies upon attacking, he has 0 health, because he literally immediately dies, he also generates 1 blood which is what is used to place cards, he costs 0 blood. Freddy also has his own hero called golden Freddy, a hero decides the players health and gives them card type bonuses, meaning different animatronics have different bonuses depending on the hero, heroes also give players access to powers. Golden Freddy has 100 health and gives bonuses to Freddy cards, his power is the power to "eat" an enemy card which will replace it with an empty suit and give the player an endo skeleton, which is the same as Freddy but with 5 damage, you can also eat your own card to get a golden Freddy card to play, the golden Freddy is the most op card in the game, which is why eating your own card gives golden Freddy food poisoning lowering his health down to 2 and making every turn you do from then on until the end of the round deal 1 damage. The card does 50 damage. If anybody else would like to put leaks they found about this game feel free to comment, also I found my information in fnaf 1, some secret codes you put in the custom night mode on version 1 of the game give you secret pictures, and info, also scott forgot to get rid of some secrets in other game versions, the console versions don't work because it was another company who made the console ports.

2024.05.15 07:32 baikaldeep Q&A with the enthusiastic founder of a small business who is using all the wrong fonts and is doomed to fail

Hi EFOASBWIUATWFAIDTF, I had my first one-night stand recently. Afterward, he kind of rolled over in bed. I didn't know if I was supposed to leave, go to sleep, or be the big spoon. What's normal in this situation? Help! -Katia
Hi Katia! Whether it's romance or designing the next big revolution in SaaS for food delivery, you have to play to win! Set your eyes to the horizon, take what you want and pay for it.
That's how it was for me designing BOREAS. I needed access to the best consultants. Do you think it was cheap to dream up product names like iPhone or Fruitopia? No, I had to liquidate my 401(k). But you've got to go all in on yourself, go big or go home. In your case Katia, I'm not sure how close you live if you did go home or if the L was still running. But even if it wasn't, I recently learned that all of your expenses, whether an Uber ride home or pet insurance, can be deducted from your taxes if you own your own business. HTH! -Steve Lanston, founder and CEO of Saucily
 
Hi EFOASBWIUATWFAIDTF, I've been hanging onto some friendships with people who became snakes in adulthood. What do you do about toxic people you have become invested in? I feel like I'm going crazy! -Emily
Hi Emily! Great question. To be successful, you have to surround yourself exclusively with successful people. As the CEO of a potential fortune 500 company, I think about this a lot, because like you, I cannot afford to get dragged down. It's not you who's crazy, it's them.
This is the reason that I had the bittersweet task of firing my first employee. And it is why I am now in active litigation against him for undermining crucial intellectual property concerning features of BOREAS. Everyone knows that food delivery is huge right now: Door Dash, GrubHub, Uber Eats, etc. But SaaS to help these companies coordinate with each other so that customers can get sauces and toppings from other restaurants? It's a game changer. Eric knew what he was doing when sent those tweets.
Like me, you can't let injustice go unanswered. This may mean you have to go it alone sometimes. But you are the only person you can count on. Why do you think I bought a gaming computer to host our website from my apartment? It's because AWS is too unreliable. But I can count on myself. And so can you, Emily! HTH! -Steve Lanston, founder and CEO of Saucily
 
Hi EFOASBWIUATWFAIDTF, I am a consumate femcel (kissless, handhold-less virgin). I was recently accepted to a Master's program in NYC, and I am moving this fall (although I might defer til the spring). I want to reinvent myself, but I feel like whatever I do will look awkward and someone will laugh at me. What can I do to shed my ugly duckling persona and finally become a sought-after swan? I need your advice, please! -Cammy
Hi Cammy! One of the oldest truths is that life is full of hardships, but you have to face them head on and then pick yourself up and keep going. It's what we do when life throws us a curve ball that defines us. First ask yourself this: "Am I ready to be inspired?" Are you?
Are you ready to stop looking back and be your best self going forward? Are you ready to turning getting laid off at 46 and then losing your Amazon internship for taking home a bottle of Sriracha into a once-in-a-generation business? Every successful company has some kind of unfair advantage. What's your unfair advantage, Cammy? What asset or work ethic do you have that other girls will leave on the table? What's your secret sauce? Our secret sauce is Fire sauce from Taco Bell served on a Big Mac from McDonalds. It's one of those things that's obvious in hindsight. But you have to be the first person who sees that opportunity before everyone else follows.
I also want to say that your first sales are always the hardest. But just imagine, you start with one sale. And then two. Before long, your runway is growing, and you can afford to pay down the loans you took. Don't worry if they laugh at you, Cammy. Find your secret sauce and then lean into it. I forget who said it, but first they think you're crazy, then they fight you, and then all of a sudden you change the world. -Steve Lanston, founder and CEO of Saucily

2024.05.15 07:31 CompetitiveHunt6051 I had to stop wasting my time on wrong AI tools, here’s some genuine advice

I have tried using AI for literally everything, hoping they'd make my projects run smoother and faster. AI seemed like it would change the way we handle everyday tasks. But often, it just led to more confusion and didn't deliver what it promised. After navigating through this mess, I've learned which tools really work and which don't and this is really important to know that using the right tools can literally increase your productivity 10x.
Before you try to find any tools, there are some crucial things to keep in mind:
  1. ⁠Understand the Value of Time-Saving: The first revelation came when I realized not all AI tools are designed to save time; some complicate simple tasks under the guise of advancement. It's crucial to identify tools that genuinely optimize your workflow.
  2. ⁠Embrace Experimentation with Caution: Experimentation is vital, but it’s equally important to be critical. I learned this the hard way when an AI logo maker, despite its promises, required more manual tweaks than anticipated, turning "time-saving" into a time sink.
  3. ⁠Seek Community Feedback: I started engaging more with forums and user reviews, which opened my eyes to real-world performances of these tools, beyond the flashy demos. Using discord channels and subreddit reviews can be pretty useful in this case.
  4. ⁠Focus on Compatibility and Integration: The best tools are those that seamlessly integrate into existing workflows rather than requiring you to build around them.
  5. ⁠Prioritize Tools That Learn and Adapt: AI tools that adapt to user input and improve over time proved to be more beneficial, enhancing their utility with every use.
  6. ⁠The Simplicity Factor: Often, the simplest tool provides the most value. A straightforward interface with powerful functionality beats a complex tool that promises the world but delivers an atlas instead.

  5. ⁠Prioritize Tools That Learn and Adapt: AI tools that adapt to user input and improve over time proved to be more beneficial, enhancing their utility with every use.
  6. ⁠The Simplicity Factor: Often, the simplest tool provides the most value. A straightforward interface with powerful functionality beats a complex tool that promises the world but delivers an atlas instead.

2024.05.15 07:27 CompetitiveHunt6051 I should have stopped wasting my time on wrong AI tools, I realized later but here’s some advice!

I have tried using AI for literally everything, hoping they'd make my projects run smoother and faster. AI seemed like it would change the way we handle everyday tasks. But often, it just led to more confusion and didn't deliver what it promised. After navigating through this mess, I've learned which tools really work and which don't and this is really important to know that using the right tools can literally increase your productivity 10x.
Before you try to find any tools, there are some crucial things to keep in mind:
  1. ⁠Understand the Value of Time-Saving: The first revelation came when I realized not all AI tools are designed to save time; some complicate simple tasks under the guise of advancement. It's crucial to identify tools that genuinely optimize your workflow.
  2. ⁠Embrace Experimentation with Caution: Experimentation is vital, but it’s equally important to be critical. I learned this the hard way when an AI logo maker, despite its promises, required more manual tweaks than anticipated, turning "time-saving" into a time sink.
  3. ⁠Seek Community Feedback: I started engaging more with forums and user reviews, which opened my eyes to real-world performances of these tools, beyond the flashy demos. Using discord channels and subreddit reviews can be pretty useful in this case.
  4. ⁠Focus on Compatibility and Integration: The best tools are those that seamlessly integrate into existing workflows rather than requiring you to build around them.
  5. ⁠Prioritize Tools That Learn and Adapt: AI tools that adapt to user input and improve over time proved to be more beneficial, enhancing their utility with every use.
  6. ⁠The Simplicity Factor: Often, the simplest tool provides the most value. A straightforward interface with powerful functionality beats a complex tool that promises the world but delivers an atlas instead.

2024.05.15 07:26 Kitten-Smuggler Can my B2B SaaS be built on Bubble or other no code tool?

The biz is pretty simple, selling hiring assessments via a self serve platform, and providing nice reports and job fit recommendations in a dashboard. Sine this is targeted at businesses I need to be able to support Organizations and teams in the app (ie mid sized company signs up and they should be able to have sub accounts for different hiring managers)
For the app I need:
  1. Landing page
  2. Login/sign up (company emails only, no Gmail etc.)
  3. Dashboard page that displays candidate assessment status, reports, ability to push a reminder notification via email, ability to buy more assessments etc)
  4. Billing page
  5. Profile page
  6. Applicant tracking system integrations (future state)
Id also like to incorporate some generative AI features for custom assessment building and/or job fit recommendations.
The assessments will be purchased and scheduled via a form on the SaaS site, and then a candidate will just receive an email with a clickable link to take the test (no login to site required). Once completed it will be auto scored and a report generated.
I was planning on doing most of this backend stuff with lambdas and DynamoDB etc. but I'm wondering if Bubble or something else might be feasible for this? I'm far from a competent frontend dev so anything I can find to expedite the process would be beneficial.
At the moment it seems like one of the SaaS Boilerplates might be the best fit based on my requirements but I figured I'd check here first before buying one.
Thanks in advance!
