2024.05.14 09:21 Cookiedoughspoon Beauty and the we are all beautiful stance vs the it doesn't matter if you're beautiful stance
Hey all,
I was contemplating the performance of beauty today and those two big schools of thought on how women should pragmatically interact with their perception of their own beauty. So theres we all are all beautiful/physically attractive i.e your stretch marks are sexy-all of you is sexy, gorgeous, and to be desired. The things you don't like about yourself are actually quite pretty. And then theres maybe your stretch marks are ugly, but you are not obligated to be beautiful and it is not your job to be consumable. Maybe you're not good looking, but that is not a personal failing or crime. You are human, your only obligation is to be a good human.
I think these two stances are really interesting and I'm wondering if either really serves the black woman. I'm a black woman that heavily participates in beauty culture- I curate my look based on both what makes me happy and what will elicit the best treatment in my daily life. But of course this is colored by the weight of it all, patriarchy, anti-blackness, fatphobia, capitalism and so on in the end. Theres no way it couldn't be. I'm a very log in and play the game kind of person because at the end of it theres a difference in the quality of life.
So when it comes to young black girls, I want to shower them in compliments. I want them to know they're pretty, smart, worthy, someone worth showing up for with a dozen flowers of her choice. That they are deserving of the performance and dance of romantic attraction if she wants that. I can't really imagine dropping the "pretty" would be helpful to black girls. In this system I feel like it is quite important for black girls and women to feel beautiful and desired and that while the it doesn't matter stance probably offers true freedom in the end, it would hurt black girls in the meantime. Being told youre undesirable because you're say, dark skin, and then hearing well being ugly is fine don't sweat it is eeeeeh to me.
And I say that to say I really do think beauty not mattering and that being ugly is okay should be the end goal! It just seems lightyears away and that if I was to institute that line of thought that maybe I would end up seeing more pain in the meantime. Like until it's safe to be ugly we will just have to be beautiful.
Yeah idk, this might be a lot lol but it's honest. What thought process has served you guys the happiest path? And what do you think should be taught to young black girls?

2024.05.14 09:18 parisaroja What’s the best argument for it’s a person/ it’s not a person?
This post is directed towards both PC and PL to put their best argument forward.
To PC, what’s the best argument you have for the unborn not being persons (if that’s what you believe)?
The way I see it, when a human egg has been fertilised, it is the beginning of a human baby being formed. Not so much it is a baby straight away, but the woman’s body has begun providing nutrients, etc, gradually, for the egg to become a viable human life. I don’t think it’s right to deny that it’s a ‘life’, because even before it was fertilised, the egg and sperm were both alive. However I see it as a life the same way I see a plant as a life. It absorbs nutrients and develops and grows, but there is no consciousness or nervous system until a certain point, meaning they feel no pain or feel anything at all. Even though in abortion, when they ‘die’, I don’t see it as the death of a person, but rather a failing to become a fully viable human, purely because the woman has separated herself from them, meaning they have no life source to become a viable human.
To PL, what is your best argument for the unborn being persons?
Is it DNA? The heartbeat? The fact that it’s human and can be a viable human at the end of pregnancy, abortion stopped them from being able to reach that point?

What’s the best way to buy parts for use in Canada/USA in a car that was never sold in North America?
Looking at getting a new Scirocco (new to me at least :-) but wondering how I’d source parts. None of the usual sites like FCP Euro/MyVwPart/ECS even have an option for the Mk3.

2024.05.14 09:17 havecometrue throwing in the towel
after a lot of thinking and ruminating i've decided it would be best for my now former SO and i to part ways. i am not much of a friend to anybody here nor am i a big name so i'm really just posting this more for myself, please do not feel like you have to reply or say anything... we were together for a little over 9 months. i still like them as a fan but there were just too many factors at play, most of them my fault, i'm too high maintenance and too insecure, always feeling jealous and anxious.. and i have also felt like they were changing in ways that made us more incompatible. i don't know how to explain it any more clearly without giving away who it is, so i apologize. i still respect them and wish them the best. and i am sorry to have wasted so much of their time. even though i know this is probably better for both of us i still feel weird and uneasy about it, but i guess that's just how breaking up goes. it is still tough for me to see people online being hateful or weird towards them. i hope they can stay strong, they have lots of friends so i hope there is a good support system in place for them... thank you for the good times and the fun, i will always be thankful for you pulling me out of a dark place. and i'm sorry for being so stupid

2024.05.14 09:17 k2718 LB/SAF roles under Hafley
My best guesses/what I would do:
Xavier McKinney: field general, green dot, do everything, a little box, a little post, a little split, a little slot.
Bullard: every thing X does but no green dot. I think Hafley will blitz Nixon and pick up Noxon's man a lot.
Evan Williams: mostly box, lot of blitzes, subs for Bullard on run downs, plays some underneath Zones and occasional man against TEs but not much.
Kitan Oladapo: box only safety and dime LB, blitzes a fair bit. Underneath Zones. Very occasional man vs. larger TEs. Subs in for Bullard in even more likely run situations. Dime LB.
Williams and Oladapo probably have more limited packages than above because the rookies, but the could work towards that.
Quay and Coop will do everything. Lot of blitzing. Hopper will alternate with McDuffie at SAM. His primary role will be to take on blocks.
Though I expect the run fits from the safeties will be quite a bit better this year since we'll have a safety closer than 20 yards to the line of scrimmage.
Also Williams, Hopper, and Oladapo's primary jobs will be to cover punts and kicks.
Gutey has really assembled a great roster and I think we finally have a DC who can use them properly.
I'm fired up, boys!!!*
*i reserve the right to claim I was hacked in this post if this new DC fucks things up the way that they have been this century.

2024.05.14 09:17 Prolionbizzy What can I do to help with my attachment issues and anxiety
I’m 18 m, I’m in a relationship with my gf and the last year has been the best year of my life and idk what I’d do without her she’s been an amazing partner that has been able to help me with other issues of mine and has helped me heal from them but my attachment issues and anxiety are just something she can’t help with even though she has tried hard and this is something i realized only I can take care of so I need help. My attachment issues probably stem from my childhood and past relationships I’ve had just about every single one has ended due to my partner at the time cheating, but I’ve moved on from the “them leaving me” part at least being alone after word has help me with that making being alone and having just me for company for certain periods of time isn’t something I struggle with, Ik I can be without my partner for small to large periods of time.
But there’s a part of me that hasn’t recovered the constant feeling of if I’m not with them they’ll stop loving me and I’ll lose them. One minute there with me the next someone has taken them from me and I hate this feeling. Especially now my partner has given me zero reasons to have me feeling like this she has gone above and beyond to prove this wrong and I hate myself for it cause it won’t go away and she doesn’t deserve that. And this cause cause us to fight more and more and looking back on those argument I have no doubt that I’ve become manipulative, to try to get a reaction that proves to me that she’ll stay i realize this so we both thought some time apart would help my issues
But it didn’t it made it worse those thoughts got worse and worse to the point she would get so annoyed and upset that we were spending a lot more time apart then we agreed on and it was so often that we would go a day not talking or won’t sleep together (like actual sleep not sex just to be clear lol don’t want anyone to get confused) at night and she wasn’t falling out of love but she started just not caring anymore. It all came to ahead two days ago when we broke up, we thought it was the best for the both of us and it gave us a chance to actually talk about are feelings. I talk about how I felt and she told me how she felt we talked like this all day yesterday and we both decided we didn’t want to be apart we love each other and want to make things work so that’s what we’re doing. We’re both working on each other to help cause we both realized we can’t be without each other and the time apart just worsened us mentally causing way more then it solved
I want to be better and I want to help her mentally to we’re not together officially again we’re gonna wait till we’re both mentally okay to go officially again. So I need help, I need some tips to help me deal with my issue so I can be better for her. I heard talking to yourself out loud helps so I’ve been doing that but if there’s more that anyone can offer please let me know. I don’t want to lose her so please help

2024.05.14 09:17 No_Read_1320 I (20M)still worry about what my (20F) gf did in the past with influence from her toxic best friend.?
Hello, I have a problem with some things that my gf used to do when she was still friends with her female best friend.
I wanna keep this short but I gotta go back to when we met 7 months ago. She had this toxic friend which she was very close with. I mean very close. My did not really have many friends outside of her best friend and thus she listened to a lot of shit she told her that its right to do.
A couple of things that stand out that made me feel kinda bad, is that when we started dating she used to tell her that I am not worth it. Also her best friend had a bf, a friend of mine from college, I forgot to mention, so it was kind of an 4 people relationship cause the toxic girl wanted us to hangout 24/7 with them, even sleep all the time in the same house.
Now that it’s clear I want to point out the things that made me feel bad, my gf used to call me ‘this guy’ through text instead of just mentioning me by my name, which I find a little disrespectful, also she cursed me one time, not badly but still. She sometimes when we were together, all 4 of us, her friend was being ignored by my friend, so she always wanted to take my gf away from me so we dont get to sit one next to the other or talk between us,and my gf did just followed her “orders” everytime. And the thing that was the worst for me is that, the day we met, we met randomly through mutual friends on a monday night at my gf house. Prior to that, she and her best friend had a ‘date’’ in the same day but in the morning with 2 boys. My gf did not like the guy she went out with and she didnt want to go out again with him, but her friend wanted to pursue the other guy and pressured my gf to text the guy my gf went out with, to meet again, all 4 of them. So that was before I met her, a few hours before. But after we met, after a couple days, this guy texted my gf to go out again, and the toxic friend told her to day yes, so they can all go out again because the toxic friend wanted to pursue the other guy, but didn’t want to go alone so she insisted on all 4 of them going,and my gf texted him back saying they could go out again sometime, all 4 of them.I do believe her not wantig to because she was not interested in that guy, but her friend pressured her to do it.
And when I pointed out these things to her now she says she is really sorry, and I want to believe that her friend influenced her to do this shit. Because she did the same with her bf(my friend) she treated him like shit.
Now I want to believe her because her friend was really toxic, i cant describe in words but trust me, i got to know her and she was a piece of trash. You could not even talk to her to tell her if something was wrong because she would either start crying or making a big ass scandal. She was horrible to be with.
Fast forward and after about 4 months there was a big scandal between all of us and my gf ditched her best friend for me, cause her friend really didnt like me and told her she spent way too much time with me and not with her. So long story short, she chose me and we are really happy together and things go so well.
And we communicate all the time and we talked about these things, and like I said she is sorry for what she did, but I dont know what to do. Is she really sorry, should I fully trust her from now on? I need some advice please, Thank you for reading and sorry if this was too long.

I have multiple questions about the whole thing and bringing pain medication with. I also seem to just be obtuse on the way all this works. Looking to speak with a travel agent around the Chicago area. I just need honest guidance. I have never taken any kind of cruise before. Figure an expert is the best way to go.

2024.05.14 09:17 AmbitiousSeaweed101 Why is the much touted LZLV-70B so repetitive (roleplay)?
I keep reading that LZLV-70B is the best model (see this, this, this, this, this, this, this). However, I find that it always end up repeating itself a lot. I've tried it on 3 different characters, with different settings, but it's always the same.
I find myself falling back to Tiefighter-13B or Psyfighter-v2-13B (which is based on Tiefighter) a lot. Those models have no repetition at all, and characters just feel more "human" on them. On LZLV, my characters can feel pretty "stiff" at times. To my surprise, I found that Goliath sometimes repeats itself as well, but perhaps that's no surprise as it is based on LZLV.
What's going on here? I thought 70B models were supposed to not suffer from repetition at all. I've tried 34B, 8x7B and 70B models, but Tiefighter-13B still seems to be the best in terms of consistency. Of course, common sense and writing skill are better on larger models, but they just seem to regurgitate the same things after the initial "wow" factor. My main use case is for long RP conversations.
Mainstream LLMs are pretty solid (GPT, Claude, WizardLLM-2-8x22b, LLama-3-70b, etc.), but they are either quite robotic (like Wizard), or can fall out of character sometimes, if you ask them a direct "assistant-like" question.
Am I doing something wrong, or do most people not talk to these models long enough to encounter the repetition? I'm kinda disappointed; these larger models don't seem to be living up to the hype, at least in regards to RP.
Settings I've tried (that I remember):

2024.05.14 09:16 Rough-Lavishness-452 I am in love with my best friend.
Tl;dr at the end of post if you want.
I (18F) have been friends with this guy (19M) for like, 5 years and I'm so in love with him.
He's an amazing guy. Cute, responsible, funny, caring guy like all the green flags. We've never had any problems with our friendship, never argued, we tell each other everything and I mean everything like he is my best friend and I am his. I just keep falling for him over and over again, and I have no idea why because I have never felt like this for anyone.
l've had a couple relationships and one serious relationship where I dated the guy for a couple years however I broke up with him on good terms a month or so ago. I had lost feelings and I realized that he treated me like shit. Since leaving that toxic mess of a relationship l've realized just how amazing my guy friend treats me and how he makes me feel when I'm around him. I love taking to him so much it makes my day better every single time. He's too perfect to describe.
The catch? He has a girlfriend (17F) at the moment, and I'm happy for him like I really am. He talks a lot about how he wants to marry her and have kids and all. But oh my God, it hurts so bad.
He always tells me I'm the only one he can be vulnerable to and be himself with, he's complimented me a lot, and he's always willing to stay up to talk to me and take care of me if I'm drunk like will hold my hair and get me blankets and just sit with me if I need. Ive noticed that if he's drinking he sometimes gets closer to me than normal and compliments me more often and idk if im just imagining it but sometimes I feel like he might feel the same way as I do but I don't know. I just don't get it, I got so much mixed signals from this guy.
He's been dating this amazing girl for 2 1/2 years and I really love her and he has told me how he plans to propose to her. Maybe it is my fault for taking his casual platonic compliments the wrong way. Maybe it's not, maybe it is. But can you blame me for falling for him? He's so kind and caring. I love his smile and how he laughs, how he talks about things he likes. Am I just his therapist or something? Is he just mine? He always vents to me whenever he needs and i love just talking to him and helping him and I just keep on wondering, why not me?
We're so similar and we have the same interests and our personalities are just perfect together like we are quite literally Pb and J. He always says we're the same and that's why he loves me. Yes he loves me we've been friends for a long time for many years neither of us were in a relationship and we love each other (as friends. At least on one level).
I mean i just can't imagine being with anyone other than him. I don't get it. We've been through so much together and helped each other through some rough times. I love him so, so much. I never want to lose him. I just have really started to develop more feelings lately like he's all i think about. I'm happy he's happy, like do not get me wrong his happiness is the only thing i care about but I can't help from getting a little hurt from seeing him talk about how great his girlfriend is. He's just so perfect and caring and l love him so much he makes me feel so special.
The other day he played with my hair a bit while we were watching a movie and I asked him if i should cut it and he told me that i would look pretty if i cut it a bit but he also said he liked my hair long too and hearing him call me pretty just melted me i mean like I have never felt this way and I don't know what to do.
Funny thing is? The things he say about his girlfriend were exactly the things l've said about him. I wish I was her. But alas, perhaps life has its own plans for me. For now all I can do is watch him fall in love with someone else.
So yeah... I am in love with my best friend who has a gf of 2 years and I think he might maybe has some feelings for me aswell. But I'm really unsure. I however, am in fact 100% in love with this guy. What would you do if you were me? Please don't go into the comments saying I'm a bad person cause he has a gf. Please ik and I feel HORRIBLE every time I think about it. I just can't help it I am so in love. Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do? I'm really lost rn because he's the person I would normally talk to about stuff like this but obviously I can't.
Tl;dr. I am in love with my best friend of 5 years who has a gf of 2 years and I think he might maybe has some feelings for me aswell. He has shown some attraction to me before. But I'm really unsure. I however, am in fact 100% in love with this guy. What would you do if you were me?

2024.05.14 09:15 manuka_miyuki Looking for a perfume that smells more like a Vanilla Custard or Vanilla Pudding rather than just Vanilla Extract if you get what I mean..?
vanilla custard is my absolute favourite flavour and scent in the world, but i don't know where to start with finding one like that since most vanilla perfumes in stores around me are kinda just like vanilla extract which to me is slightly different.
by vanilla custard, i kind of mean a vanilla that's sweeter, but not in the candy/bubblegum/almost teenage scent sort of way... but if you know what vanilla custard and vanilla pudding smells and/or tastes like then that would work best for me!

2024.05.14 09:15 ThrowRAqo How can I (20M) keep my faith in my ex (21F) to find her way back to me?
Hello reddit. I (20M) broke up with my ex (21F) a few weeks ago because I knew she wanted me to let her go.
For some context, she is South East Asian with a family deeply rooted in conservative beliefs. Both me and her live in North America. I am not South East Asian.
From the beginning (about 3 years ago), we both entered this relationship knowing that her parents will always be a barrier to how far we could get. But, I (we) decided to take that risk thinking things would eventually work out. It didn’t.
In the beginning, since we both went to the same university and that was where we met, we spent a healthy amount of time with each other on campus. Being a year older than me, she graduated and we started seeing each other less and less over time. This past year, our dates were usually in grocery stores; when her parents would send her out to get groceries. In the span of the past 7 months, we saw each other a grand total of 9-10 times in person. At its best, her parents only thought of me as a “friend” to their daughter. During those 3 years, we fell apart a couple of times due to her parents, but found our ways back to each other fast.
The goal was for her to gain some leverage against her parents to gain freedom. She worked hard for that goal, but ultimately she doesn’t have the courage to stand up against her parents. About 3 weeks ago, I realized that if things keep going like this, she will be forced to choose between me and her parents. I never wanted her to be placed in that position, so I let her go.
Being the person I am, I realized pretty quickly that she is my person. I could easily imagine myself spending the rest of my life with her. I love her so unconditionally and so deeply. I made that sacrifice because I realized my presence was only adding pressure to her situation. I realized that her fight for freedom required her to first see herself as the person I always saw; a very powerful and strong woman. I realized that this fight, was only possible if she went into it by herself.
After the breakup, we spoke a few times. She is not doing well. I keep telling her that she needs to do this for herself above anything else. Who knows? Maybe for whatever reason I won’t be there tomorrow. But that doesn’t mean that she shouldn’t have a happy and free life. She reassured me that she will try her best, but she has no faith. With that said however, I told her that one day she will see herself as the person I see, and that day she will find the faith to set herself free. I told her that when that happens, I will be there waiting. She kept telling me to be happy and to let go, but I just can’t. I cannot see myself happy with anyone else.
So reddit, do you think she can make it? Or am I destined to be alone for the rest of my life?

2024.05.14 09:15 Spiritual_Stomach_15 How to recap One Piece?
Hello. I've been watching One Piece since 2014 and every time I caught up, I left it and came back some time later to marathon it until I caught up again. Several years have passed and I am just now starting the Wano arc, but I feel very disconnected from the story, the events, and I feel like I have forgotten important details. What do you think is the best way to refresh my memory with One Piece? (Obviously seeing it all again is not an option)

2024.05.14 09:14 Ill-Return5793 We broke up yesterday...
Posting this as a way to let my emotions out, I guess?
My ex broke up with me yesterday. I saw it coming, because he asked for space, and then after a week said we needed to talk face to face. It lasted 3 weeks before we talkedy. He did tell me he wanted to break up, because I messaged him basically asking if I was that hard to talk to. We couldn't talk face to face because he was always too busy.
In fact, that's the reason we broke up. He has a lot of responsibilities, mostly with his family (In our culture, we have something where we are basically expected "repay" all our parents did for us. He's the eldest son so he's expected to be the breadwinner of their family once he gets a job), and balancing all that with our relationship was hard for him. He kept apologizing, and said he felt there was a barrier between us because of his circumstances. I told him that I was okay with our set up, but he said he wasn't. He was sad that he didn't get to spend time with me, or give me physical touch (because that's my main love language. His is quality time).
He said he's sorry, for a lot of things. He said he's been thinking about if he can handle our relationship for 2 months, and he's come to the conclusion that he can't. He apologized for not communicating with me earlier, he said how he's been used to dealing with his problems by himself. He assured me I did everything right, that it was his side where the problems were. He thanked me for the love and memories. He said he hopes my next partner will love me better than he did.
He cried. He said he's been holding it in for the past 3 weeks.
His birthday is tomorrow. I gave him a gift after we broke up.
We've been classmates all our high school life so we have a lot of mutual friends. Before we talked, his best friend (which is also a close friend of mine) told me that he asked my ex a question and he thinks I'd be happy with the answer.
I asked my ex what it was about and he said that the question is if in the future, where he had less responsibilities and more time, will he want to pursue a relationship with me? My ex said he doubts the feelings will last that long, but if ever, he said yes. I dont know what his best friend was on about because that didn't really make me happy 😆
He also mentioned that if he ever got in a relationship again, it would be after college, which is 4 years from now for us. So it's going to be 4 years before he's in a situation where he's ready to handle a relationship. Where we'll see if he still wants me.
A part of me hopes that once the time comes, it'd still be me. Another part of me knows 4 years is a long time, and I shouldn't keep thinking about that. I know I should grow and work on and focus on myself. That's what I plan to do.
Either way, I hope we're happy in the future. Whether it be together or apart.
Man, I love the guy. I can't believe he broke up with me when his birthday is tomorrow (/lighthearted tone)

2024.05.14 09:14 crimilde KTM swallows its pride and bids for Jorge Martín
 | Translation (DeepL) submitted by crimilde to motogp [link] [comments] If he doesn't go to the factory Ducati, Aprilia and the Austrians are his best options At Le Mans there was one issue looming over everyone, almost more than the races: the decision that Ducati has to make regarding who will be Pecco Bagnaia's team-mate in the factory team in 2025. There are only three candidates: Jorge Martin, Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini. However, the Borgo Panigale team are taking their time and will not announce anything until after Mugello. They have the upper hand and are even stalling negotiations. However, they are in a dangerous balancing act, as they will have to rule out two riders who will almost certainly strengthen rival brands for the future. In France, it became clearer that the one with the least options is Bastianini, whose representative, Carlo Pernat, is already criticising Ducati saying that it would be bad if they took Marc Márquez. Because the widespread version in the paddock is that the eight-time champion is the most likely. What Ducati would like is to retain Jorge Martin and Marc, with one of the two going up and the other at Prima Pramac. But both of them are eager to join the official team. While the Bolognese are thinking about it, the rival factories are moving and tempting everyone, albeit in different ways. Martin, only one option at Ducati Martinator, the current leader in MotoGP, is wanted by all, but he is clear. His first choice is to go to the factory Ducati. If not, he will only accept to go to another factory team. Yamaha and Honda are less likely candidates, as the Spaniard is ambitious even in the short term. "What I want is to win," he says. And the Japanese need time. Of course, they are the ones who would pay the best salaries. Aprilia is a potential destination. At Noale they would not be unhappy to continue with their Aleix Espargaró-Viñales duo, but, of course, they would make room for Jorge. The possible retirement of the Granollers rider, who is also a friend of Martín, would smooth everything out. Maverick, meanwhile, is tempted by a high financial offer from HRC and promises for the future. Even in terms of salary they would satisfy '89', because without those two salaries to pay, they would have more to satisfy him. If Martin does not go, Bastianini would have a place, as the Italian already offered himself in the winter. Unexpected approach However, according to MARCA, in the last few days an unexpected front has opened up for Martinator: KTM. Jorge was already their rider and was even going to move up to MotoGP with them. He was riding for Ajo KTM in Moto2 and had a contract with an option to move up. But the bike was not so competitive and the Spaniard found a loophole to go to Ducati signing already in 2020. The delay in the start of the World Championship due to the Covid made it possible and this upset the Central Europeans, who even withdrew the sponsorship of Red Bull. They even threatened to take the 2018 Moto3 champion to court. A big offer even with Red Bull Martin was vetoed... until now, when he was even offered the sponsorship of the energy drinks again. They are serious and KTM would give him a higher salary than Aprilia and an increasingly competitive bike, with several former Ducati riders at the helm, such as Francesco Guidotti, head of his team and formerly of Prima Pramac with Martin. The Austrians also have their trump cards, as they have Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder tied up and have spoken to Marc Márquez. In addition, they have shown that in GasGas Tech3 they can put as many engineers and means as it takes, as is now the case with the Shark of Mazarrón, already more supported than Jack Miller, who has very difficult to continue. So, Jorge will wait for Ducati, but if they let him escape, he can become their big contender for the next two years, at least. In Barcelona, there will be more moves. |
2024.05.14 09:13 Rjvkmrv3 Like crossing the road!
Getting into a trade often feels like crossing the road… - one doesn’t look to the right or left and get on the road. You may reach the other end safely (book profit) OR after a step or two you come to your sense after being honked at and retreat (exit the trade) OR You are almost hit by a vehicle, but you miraculously reach the other side ( booking profits after a volatile session) OR You are hit (book loss or even worse lose capital)
submitted by Rjvkmrv3 to FnO_Bharath [link] [comments]
- the best way to cross the road is to look to your left and right, and the traffic signal (asses the market trend, indicators), and at the right time make your move. Of course things can still go wrong! But at least you did everything you can.
- at times we are in a hurry to cross the road and we rush onto the road and sprint across in a risky move, only to see that if you had waited for 20 seconds the vehicles would’ve passed by and giving you an empty road to cross comfortably. ( this often is the case while jumping into a trade at wrong entry point only to see you could’ve waited for one more candle and you would’ve got the best price)
2024.05.14 09:12 No_Read_1320 I (20M)still worry about what my (20F) gf did in the past with influence from her toxic best friend.?
Hello, I have a problem with some things that my gf used to do when she was still friends with her female best friend.
I wanna keep this short but I gotta go back to when we met 7 months ago. She had this toxic friend which she was very close with. I mean very close. My did not really have many friends outside of her best friend and thus she listened to a lot of shit she told her that its right to do.
A couple of things that stand out that made me feel kinda bad, is that when we started dating she used to tell her that I am not worth it. Also her best friend had a bf, a friend of mine from college, I forgot to mention, so it was kind of an 4 people relationship cause the toxic girl wanted us to hangout 24/7 with them, even sleep all the time in the same house.
Now that it’s clear I want to point out the things that made me feel bad, my gf used to call me ‘this guy’ through text instead of just mentioning me by my name, which I find a little disrespectful, also she cursed me one time, not badly but still. She sometimes when we were together, all 4 of us, her friend was being ignored by my friend, so she always wanted to take my gf away from me so we dont get to sit one next to the other or talk between us,and my gf did just followed her “orders” everytime. And the thing that was the worst for me is that, the day we met, we met randomly through mutual friends on a monday night at my gf house. Prior to that, she and her best friend had a ‘date’’ in the same day but in the morning with 2 boys. My gf did not like the guy she went out with and she didnt want to go out again with him, but her friend wanted to pursue the other guy and pressured my gf to text the guy my gf went out with, to meet again, all 4 of them. So that was before I met her, a few hours before. But after we met, after a couple days, this guy texted my gf to go out again, and the toxic friend told her to day yes, so they can all go out again because the toxic friend wanted to pursue the other guy, but didn’t want to go alone so she insisted on all 4 of them going,and my gf texted him back saying they could go out again sometime, all 4 of them.I do believe her not wantig to because she was not interested in that guy, but her friend pressured her to do it.
And when I pointed out these things to her now she says she is really sorry, and I want to believe that her friend influenced her to do this shit. Because she did the same with her bf(my friend) she treated him like shit.
Now I want to believe her because her friend was really toxic, i cant describe in words but trust me, i got to know her and she was a piece of trash. You could not even talk to her to tell her if something was wrong because she would either start crying or making a big ass scandal. She was horrible to be with.
Fast forward and after about 4 months there was a big scandal between all of us and my gf ditched her best friend for me, cause her friend really didnt like me and told her she spent way too much time with me and not with her. So long story short, she chose me and we are really happy together and things go so well.
And we communicate all the time and we talked about these things, and like I said she is sorry for what she did, but I dont know what to do. Is she really sorry, should I fully trust her from now on? I need some advice please, Thank you for reading and sorry if this was too long.

Also her best friend had a bf, a friend of mine from college, I forgot to mention, so it was kind of an 4 people relationship cause the toxic girl wanted us to hangout 24/7 with them, even sleep all the time in the same house.
Now that it’s clear I want to point out the things that made me feel bad, my gf used to call me ‘this guy’ through text instead of just mentioning me by my name, which I find a little disrespectful, also she cursed me one time, not badly but still. She sometimes when we were together, all 4 of us, her friend was being ignored by my friend, so she always wanted to take my gf away from me so we dont get to sit one next to the other or talk between us,and my gf did just followed her “orders” everytime. And the thing that was the worst for me is that, the day we met, we met randomly through mutual friends on a monday night at my gf house. Prior to that, she and her best friend had a ‘date’’ in the same day but in the morning with 2 boys. My gf did not like the guy she went out with and she didnt want to go out again with him, but her friend wanted to pursue the other guy and pressured my gf to text the guy my gf went out with, to meet again, all 4 of them. So that was before I met her, a few hours before. But after we met, after a couple days, this guy texted my gf to go out again, and the toxic friend told her to day yes, so they can all go out again because the toxic friend wanted to pursue the other guy, but didn’t want to go alone so she insisted on all 4 of them going,and my gf texted him back saying they could go out again sometime, all 4 of them.I do believe her not wantig to because she was not interested in that guy, but her friend pressured her to do it.
And when I pointed out these things to her now she says she is really sorry, and I want to believe that her friend influenced her to do this shit. Because she did the same with her bf(my friend) she treated him like shit.
Now I want to believe her because her friend was really toxic, i cant describe in words but trust me, i got to know her and she was a piece of trash. You could not even talk to her to tell her if something was wrong because she would either start crying or making a big ass scandal. She was horrible to be with.
Fast forward and after about 4 months there was a big scandal between all of us and my gf ditched her best friend for me, cause her friend really didnt like me and told her she spent way too much time with me and not with her. So long story short, she chose me and we are really happy together and things go so well.
And we communicate all the time and we talked about these things, and like I said she is sorry for what she did, but I dont know what to do. Is she really sorry, should I fully trust her from now on? I need some advice please, Thank you for reading and sorry if this was too long.

I (27) have around 200k saved up, which is currently in a high interest savings account. I'm not on a big salary, 75k at the moment. My spendings are pretty low and I don't have a mortgage.
I'm trying to figure out what the best steps for me are. Property investment seems to be a natural step. Are there other investments or ways that I could be using my money to set myself up?
Any advice appreciated.

2024.05.14 09:11 YT-YoursTruly Editing as an Author Duo
Hello! I'm currently working on a project with a co-author and we finally finished our first draft! Both of us are hobby writers, so we've never published our work before. I've been searching around the internet for advice on editing, but it's mostly aimed towards solo authors, since that is obviously the larger audience. Much of the advice is sound and can be applied to our work. However, there are some unique challenges that we face as a duo.
-Stylistic differences: At certain points in the draft, it's quite obvious who wrote what. Although, this may just be our opinions as the writers.
-Creative differences: We've already discussed possible rewrites, cuts, and additions to the story. So far, we've agreed on most things. But, this likely won't be the case on every occasion. What is the best way to compromise creative differences while making story edits?
-Sharing of Workload: While working on the first draft, we split our workload pretty evenly. The manner in which we wrote our story was pretty linear, with each of us working on select scenes. But, the process of editing seems to be a lot less linear that writing down the initial draft. Should different aspects of editing (i.e. story, line editing, copyediting) be divided amongst us, or should we tackle all of it together?
Any advice would be welcome, especially interviews with author duos or wisdom gained from personal experience! Thank you!

2024.05.14 09:11 SuccessfulContact175 How To Start A Vending Machine Business: Everything You Need To Know
 | vending machines submitted by SuccessfulContact175 to VendingVibes [link] [comments] If you’ve ever enjoyed picking out a snack from a neat array in front of you, looking into the vending machine business could be for you. In addition to chips and soda, vending machines now offer healthy snacks and even electronics or pharmacy items. It can be a very lucrative side business or a full-time operation. Here’s what you need to know to get started. Benefits of a Vending Machine BusinessOwning anywhere from a few to a few hundred vending machines can be a manageable, successful business for owners of any experience level. Starting a vending machine is just the cost of stocking some machines like pizza vending machines — you won’t need an office space to house them. Additionally, you must maintain the machines through repairs, restocking, and collecting the money from the transactions.Before You Get Started: Choose Your Business StructureWhen starting a vending machine business, the most important acquisition is a few vending machines. You'll have to set up an LLC or corporation to scale up your business, collect the profits legally, and claim business expenses on your taxes. Additionally, you might need a license to do this kind of business in your region. Once you figure out if you need a business license to own and operate vending machines, you can get all of your paperwork in order and start a business seamlessly.Step 1: Consider Your Possible ProductsFood vending machines are popular and simple, but there are also options for vending machines that vend items in bulk or provide specialty products. If you’re starting food vending machines, you can choose a theme for your machines. Providing healthy snacks in schools could be a good road to go down because schools want to provide students with good nutrition. In general, you can tailor your offerings to the market space you want to break into.Step 2: Find the Right LocationDepending on what kinds of machines you have, you can start to find space in commercial businesses and craft a route. Since it will be you or an employee refilling and repairing the machines, you’ll probably want them to be not too far away to start. As you expand your business and bring on more employees, you can start to cover more territory. Placing vending machines in local businesses means you’ll want to start making connections with local business owners and talking up your services. If you’re looking for a contract with a school district or a business that has several locations, you’ll want to get in touch with a regional manager or whoever does larger-scale location management projects.Step 3: Choose the Right Type of Machine for Your BusinessThere are three types of machines: bulk, electronic, and mechanical. Bulk machines hold a single product in bulk and dispense a certain amount for a quarter or a dollar. You often see this in restrooms, dispensing sanitary products, for example. Mechanical machines are the classic break room vending machines. They provide multiple products and cost about $2,000 initially. However, they do have higher profits than bulk machines. Finally, the most sophisticated version is an electronic vending machine. These cost at least $3,000 per machine, often have touch screens, and can take credit card payments easily. The more drinks and food offered, the higher the cost of the machine. They are incredibly reliable and intuitive, and the ability to use a credit card often means they receive a lot of business as fewer people carry cash and coins — just make sure you choose a payment gateway that doesn’t charge exorbitant fees.Step 4: Find the Right MarketYour vending machine should be in an optimal place for the kinds of customers you want to serve. For example, vending machines with microwavable foods and other meal-like offerings do well in places where people are spending a lot of time and can’t cook, like offices, hospitals, and universities. Snack vending machines are also great for offices. However, vending machines that dispense novelty trinkets or small candies can do well in specialty small businesses, if you are interested in making those connections. Finally, vending machines that dispense medicine or electronics are great to place in airports, highway rest stops, or train stations. These are necessities for travelers and these machines could therefore have a high-profit margin.Step 5: Stocking ProductsFor food vending machines, some states mandate a certain percentage of healthy options to be included. Be sure to have sources for healthy snacks if this is the case for your region. When looking into food stocking in general, you should make connections with wholesale suppliers so you can get the lowest cost per unit. Saving money on the upfront costs of food will help you get more profit from your vending machines in the long run.How To Purchase Vending MachinesIf you want the most flexibility for starting your business, you should buy your machine and source locations yourself. If you’re ready to get started and leverage contacts in buildings and commercial spaces for vending machines, this is the best way to get started. It’s also possible to buy an existing fleet of vending machines. Before doing this, you should try to get as much information as possible about why the owner wants to sell their vending machine route. If it’s because they want to retire, that’s perfect. However, if there are issues with their chosen locations, you’ll want to know about those. If you buy into a franchise, you’ll have an established business and have fewer decisions to make at the start. However, the franchisor does take a cut from the franchisee.Repairs and MaintenanceSince vending machines are in public spaces, they are subject to vandalism and occasional theft. You can work this into your business plan, even though it’s frustrating. Even if you bought your vending machines new instead of used ones, they require regular spot checks just to be sure. Any downtime in your vending machine will be a lost profit. Working a regular checkup of your machines into your schedule will also lead to better profits in general.Do vending machines make good money?Vending machines can be very profitable. If you can get products to stock machines at good prices, and your vending machine is in a place that a lot of people go to, you can make a decent amount of money with little investment and time.Where is the best place to put a vending machine?Any place where a lot of people are going is a good idea. Apartment complexes, schools, offices, and airports are all great places for vending machines.Can you buy a vending machine and put it anywhere?You can buy a vending machine, but you have to have permission from a business owner to place it. If you think it’s a good opportunity, approach the business owner and see if you can get a contract.What type of vending machine options are available?The most common types of vending machine options include snack vending machines, soda vending machines, and coffee and hot beverage vending machines. However, there are other options, including laundry co-op vending machines, gumball machines, toy vending machines, video games, water vending machines, crane game machines, family fun center gaming machines, DVD vending machines, and coin-op car washes.Starting a vending machine business can be an exciting and profitable venture, offering flexibility and scalability for entrepreneurs of all backgrounds. By following these steps and considerations, you can embark on a journey |
