Fun things to do on facebook with friends

i have a best friend who i’ve been friends with for a very long time now, since the 5th grade and they’re amazing. we are complete opposites in everything, from the way we look, from what we like, and the way we are. but the fact we’re so different makes our friendship work very well because despite all that,our morals are the same and being friends with them gives me an insight of how other people are. he struggles a lot with mental health and has started fully online school, has no job and has 1 real life friend who is moving across the world during the summer. this is not to put him on blast but to give context to what is later important in this story. i on the other hand, i go to school in person and am a very social person and am constantly surrounded by friends and acquaintances. i love him very much and because of our lifestyles the only time i can really see him is during the weekend. I had been with my now ex boyfriend for about a year and a half and my best friend was there to witness it all. the good the bad and the ugly. one of the major things that me and my best friend talked about that was a big problem in my relationship with my ex was the fact that he was very needy and always hated it when i was spending time with anyone but him. it was one of the things that caused the fall of our relationship, him cheating might’ve been a factor too lol. it’s been a it’s been a few months since i’ve broken up with him and my best friend has been a very big help with helping me get over my ex. but over the past few weeks my best friend has gotten very needy and very clingy to the point that he’s acting like my ex. when i brought it to his attention the only thing he said was “don’t compare me to (my exs name)”. he didn’t acknowledge anything else i said and was solely mad that i had compared him to my ex as i had told him that he was acting like my ex to give him a “wake up call”. like i had mentioned i am a very social person ,im always around people and i like to give my time and attention to everyone if possible. i’m thinking that he’s acting like this because i’m his only true close friend and that me giving my attention to others is bothering him. but i’m constantly hanging out with my best friend and almost always every week sleep over at his house and stay there for a long time. my best friend is gay if that’s any importance. am i in the wrong for comparing him to my ex? how do i set up boundaries that this behavior isn’t okay? can anyone who has gone through something similar like this give me advice?

additionally, that unbearable pain/ache in your chest when you see your fp talking to someone else or something like that.
i don't have much to do at home, i'm a total introvert who needs to be with people i'm close to (even at least in silence) in order to do things because being alone in any way makes me feel worse. but of course, not everyone around me will have time. i feel extremely empty without my fp right now and i saw him chatting with another friend on social media earlier so that's making it worse for me.
what do you usually do when you feel empty? coping mechanisms, ways to heal a little, any distractions, etc. times like this i wish i had a pc again so i can just play ffxiv until my fp comes back on but i'm broke as hell as we speak.

I’m 25/F & my partner is a 35/M a two year long relationship going on to three. I want to say that I deeply love this man but I know the relationship has become toxic & unhealthy. My partner came to visit me December 2023 during my Christmas break from school. He was drunk & was looking into my iPad. Found text messages between me & my rapist before he was my rapist. While drunk he woke me up & screamed at me accusing me of lying about my rape. Stated I probably enjoyed being raped & maybe that’s what he has to do to make me respect me. He pulled me out of the bed & I was confused, & in still confused. Anyways he put me in a choke hold, dragged me by the hair, & shirt. Bit my face & said a lot of mean things to me. I forgive him, because he was drunk & promised me he wouldn’t do it again. He wrote me a letter apologizing for what he did. A year later this time in February he gets mad because I had a friend reach out to me who used to like me but is now in a happy relationship. We just check in & I’ve made clear boundaries but I don’t feel like he’s interested in me in that way. My partner doesn’t understand this & it led to an argument, I shit down cause I just can’t do the arguments anymore. He gets mad that I shit down & refuse to talk. He drags me to my room where he ends up choking me & slapping my face. I hid in my apartment for a week because I had a green bruise forming under my eye with a busted lip. I know I should leave & I want to leave but I don’t know how. I feel like I owe him because he’s paid for my car, my school supplies, food, & overall provided for me when I was in school. He’s also a great guy when he’s not accusing me. Yes, I know this is a manipulative tactic but I feel stuck.
So anyone who took the time to read this… how did you leave because I promise I’m trying.
I made this short & straight to the point. I’m tired of crying about it & I hate where it puts me mentally.

To start I 17f have been dating my 17M boyfriend for 3 years, we are both 4.0 students, do sports and have a healthy social life. My mother was murdered 3 days before Christmas this last December and it’s been a hard loss.
Here is my list of shitty things his parents do that are insane! ~ his mom didn’t talk to me for 2 years, just ignored my existence and was extremely rude and distant to me no dinners no hanging out no anything ~ his dad was upset because me and jamie found out he was a registered child sex offender ~ didn’t say a word to me after knowing me for 2 years when my mom died, and only let him stay until 11 pm while I was vomiting and sobbing (it was a Friday night) ~ called me a runaway slut at 15 when I ran away from my abusers house, after being raped but never actually asked for the story just assumed ~ boyfriend doesn’t have google on his phone and never has (no he has never gotten in trouble or grounded) ~ boyfriend has no games on phone, no social media no nothing, and parents track every text and location. ~ we can only hangout 1 time a week with friends nothing else ~ not allowed to drive together or be in same car alone ~ not allowed to text me past 9pm ~ not allowed a Chromebook for school, and no home one so if he doesn’t get it done at a school he’s failing the assignment. ~ almost wasn’t allowed to go to my mothers funeral ~wasn’t allowed to stay overnight for my mothers funeral and was forced to drive 6+ hours in one day in the SNOW in a old shitty hundai, even though the we would be in different HOUSES
Anyways here is my actual question, I want to go to my hometown this Memorial Day, (my moms favorite holiday in this small town same one as previously mentioned) for 2 days for summer break and it’s still a no. And I’m just over it do I just break up with him this is a lot of drama for 17 years old

Background information: I (gay) am seeing a guy who still contacts his ex often even if I am not comfortable with. I started to see this guy a few months ago and we had good communication and often hangout and things go well. However, things started to get weird. There was one time he invited friends including me to his house for crawfish boil and he told me his ex will also be there. They have broke up for 6 months and he told me he would never go back to date his ex. I was okay with going there even if his ex is there. However, he wouldn’t want to admit we are seeing other or knowing each other from a dating app, so when his friend asked us how we met. He wanted me to say we know each other through a mutual friend and to avoid awkwardness, I agreed with that. Plus we just started to see each other at that time, but there was always something in the back of my head that I don’t want to lie about it and I don’t feel comfortable that he doesn’t want introduce me as we seeing each other. After that party, we got much closer and had more conversation and went to my friend wedding together (at the wedding I wanted to say hi to my ex, but he said i don’t feel comfortable if you do that, so I cared about his feelings and didn’t say hi to my ex) and things were going well.
One day, I was hanging out at his house and his ex drove by and saw my car there and started to text him and blocked him because his ex still has feelings about him. He told me “you should’ve parked your car in my garage” and he became panic and nervous and didn’t know what to do and try to explain he is just hanging out with a friend. His ex threatened him to come over to his place and to check who is he hanging out with. That made me really uncomfortable so I just left because I don’t want any drama before we date and I also think he didn’t handle this situation with his ex well. at that day I also find out they hang out every Wednesday night at his place. They also had sex after they broke up. But anyways, he came over to my place that night we had a conversation and he talked to his ex the second day and the situation get better. He promised me this will never happen again.
Then there was one weekend where we were supposed to go carting with some friends and include his ex and me. He told me if I don’t feel comfortable about his ex coming he would tell his ex not coming. So I told him I don’t think that’s a good idea for us to co-exist together because I have to hide that we are just friends. He also never told his friends that we’re seeing each other. And we already lied about how we know each other at the crawfish boil party at the beginning, so that’s why I don’t want his ex to come. He said yes, but he called me two days later that his ex already paid the ticket and that his ex partially planned this event with him so I was OK for him to go even if I don’t feel comfortable with. Btw, I always introduce him to my friends that we are seeing each other.
Recently he has been very busy about his work so we didn’t hang out too much and he told me he couldn’t even call me because his busy schedule which I don’t feel comfortable but I also know that week he has been very busy about his work, but I was also thinking you can’t even call me for like five minutes to share your day with me which also made me uncomfortable and annoyed.
This week his work is not that busy, but he wants to invite his ex and other friends to get together again to another event next weekend. I was very annoyed by him inviting his ex this over and over again, even if I don’t feel comfortable to be with his ex at the same event, and I have communicate with him many times. Last time his ex went there because his ex already paid the ticket but this time I think he shouldn’t invite his ex. He told me that he just want everyone to be happy and not to be left out and he’s also figuring out our situationship. I understand his concern because he is out of country for 10 days and his ex will take care of his dogs so he scared if his ex was left out he might not want to take care of his dogs anymore, but I offered I can do that for him too.
Now I have some concerns that should I continue with this guy or he is not ready to date someone or start a new relationship? I honestly think I made some many compromises and being very understandable, but I feel like he might not be ready to move on which I am fine with just being friends with him cuz I know my worth.
Please give me your honest opinion and advice for me and him.

I'm sorry for posting this but I haven't been able to talk about what's really happening the last 12 months because no one cares to listen to people like me. I just really need to write this down so it isn't just inside me forever, I'm not expecting any replies or help, I just want someone to know my story because i dont know when or how it will end. (also i wrote this at 11pm after not sleeping for 3 days, so theres a chance none of this makes sense)
I am 14, turning 15 in a few months.
I have been dealing with severe depression(?) for around 4 years now, but the issues started way before that. there is something seriously wrong with me, and i am not blaming anyone but myself. I'm diagnosed with adhd, severe social & general anxiety disorder, autism, and ptsd. I have an abundance of issues cleaning and taking care of myself which i am extremely embarrassed about.
I attempted to truly end my life first when i was 10 via od on a prescription. the second time i was 11, i tied a ribbon very tightly around my neck, and fell asleep crying from both sadness and relief. i remember waking up, and it was like my body automatically started desperately searching for anything sharp to get it off my neck. i had a red spot on the side for a while after that, i covered it with a fake tattoo so my mom wouldn't have to worry about my older brother as well as me.
I resorted to online learning for middle school after bullying and sexual harassment, plus issues with the school that lead to cps being called. skip forward to now, my only friends are online, and they make fun of me for being autistic, and say they forget im a real person regularly. I understand, i dont expect them to care that much about someone theyve never spoken to in person before, i just wish i could be someones first choice.
december last year i started smoking weed, and that made me forget about how much i wanted to die. unfortunately, that got me addicted immediately. i couldn't bare being sober, if i wasnt high off my mind i was sobbing and shaking. eventually my mom found out, and I (mostly) stopped. unfortunately, the inevitable happened. i started stealing liquor, drank almost a whole bottle of tequila by myself within ~6 days. mom found out about that too, and stopped buying alcohol as well as starting to lock up the medication in the house. this was the beginning of the end. i hate myself for what i did. my mom did everything right, i, however, did everything wrong. i started abusing gabapentin, which quickly lost its magic. i told myself i was never going to touch stimulants or amphetamines, but of course i did. I was desperate to feel something that i started abusing my adhd meds. i hate them, i cant eat or sleep on them, but they make me focus on something that isnt my thoughts.
I've done everything i wanted to do before i go. today was my friends 16th birthday, yesterday was mothers day, and a few days before that was my one year on HRT. (not getting into that right now lol) i didnt think id make it to 13, I truly dont know why I'm still here. I can't remember a day i havent wanted to just leave and be free from emotion and people. I'll probably delete this when i see it in the morning, but i desperately needed to get this off my chest. I had potential, I was smart and kind and bright, and then the people around me grew up, while i was still waiting for my turn.
Maybe if I was born into a different family i could've been a psychologist like ive always wanted to. In another lifetime.

I’m a 22 year old female and I don’t want to get too much into specifics, but I’m living with someone who has sexually assaulted me and idk what to do. I have looked into shelters but they’re all full and I’m on several waiting list. I’ve went to churches and seen if they could help me with gas money and they did help me with therapy and a few other things but that was out of the realm because my home is so far away (17 hour drive). I don’t know what to do. I can’t take anymore. The abuse hasn’t happened for awhile and I feel stupid for not going to the cops about it at first but they’re family and I didn’t feel like it was the right thing to do but now i feel like an idiot for not reporting it. And if I did report it, id be screwed either way because I don’t have a job and can’t pay the bills here. My friends back home have offered me a place to stay but I can’t get there. Anyone have any suggestions?

Not a rhetorical question,I really want to vent but feel free to leave your 2 cents… long story short-ish… my ex and I have known each other for over 14 years. We were “friends” at the beginning, both very young and not wanting to be tied down (neither of us are angels) About 7 years ago we got together “officially” for a few years, eventually breaking up for multiple reasons, including his alleged “commitment issues” and cultural differences. Admittedly, I always hoped he would love me enough to just do what he could do to make “us” work. He didn’t. Over the last few years, we were essentially on and off friends with benefits. Recently, we have been talking again for almost a year, never officially together, and I’ve gotten to a point in the past couple weeks where I feel like I can finally see. I can hear. Everything is so clear. He’s mean, and not very funny, unmotivated and His words AND his actions show he doesn’t see a future with me. I am wasting my time, it’s been nothing but familiarity and friendship that has kept us coming back to each other, and I don’t even think I actually love him, because he doesn’t even give me any space to. When I hypothetically remove his commitment issues, I don’t really think I see myself being happy in that relationship. So, a few nights ago we went out to a comedy show downtown. He spent the whole evening checking out other women and making comments, I had an awful night with him but I didn’t argue or say anything, I just started noticing more things I don’t like about him. Last night I got on a dating app, just to kinda see what’s out there.. which I saw him on.. as upset as it makes me, I’m relieved and now I’m just wondering if I even should have that “break up” conversation with him? Is there even any point? What would I even say? It feels like there isn’t a relationship to even break..

I was really smart in school. Graduated with a 3.96 without really trying. Up until age 16 I had tons of friends, super outgoing and always entertaining everyone. Then depression hit. I was raised really religious and I committed my life to it until one day I just changed my mind. I was raised in the type of church where they think it’s their mission to save everyone, they’re better than everyone and they use scare tactics. Judgmental and gossipy. So I broke away, moved 8 hours away at 19 and went wild. Started drinking heavily for the first time, doing drugs, going to raves, hanging out with older people. I went through hell but partying and living life was all I cared about because I felt like I missed out on so much and wanted to be cool instead of this nerd I’d always been. I realized I was hot, and got super vain. I racked up $10,000 worth of debt over the years because despite my free ride to college, I never went after my first semester. None of that mattered anymore. Just learning how to be cool and making memories. Having fun. I bartended, worked salon front desks. I went through a lot of trauma and ended up with terrible ocd and dependent on older women in my life to the point that I would have panic attacks if I felt I was losing them. I depended on them fully. I was suicidal, self harmed, I was all over the place. Fast forward through eight years of chaos and I’m now 27. Moved back home and living in my dad’s RV. Thankfully it’s a very nice expensive RV, but I still feel like a failure. No career. No money saved. Been here 8 or 9 months and still have $6,000 worth of debt to pay off. I got humbled and I work to try to change daily. I read, listen to podcasts, build new habits, I’m closer than ever with my family, I don’t go out, I am starting to dig through my past in therapy, I journal. I’m trying. But I’m broke. 27. No friends. No career. Living with my dad. And debt. And trauma. 😞

I (23F) went to pick up a rug that I found on Facebook Marketplace. The seller wasn’t home at the time so he gave me his roommates phone number to coordinate the pick-up. When we did the handoff, I thought he was actually really cute and he looked about my age if not older. I told my friends how disappointed I was that I wasn’t more put together since I was just out running errands. But they’re telling me to shoot my shot anyways and text him😰
I’m somewhat opposed to this idea because if I was him, I’d be extremely uncomfortable with a FB marketplace rando texting my personal number while also knowing my home address. My friends insist that it’s different for guys and that he won’t care (would love to hear a guys opinion on this specifically). They say at worst he won’t respond but idk… Should I do it???

Here is a link to demos I have worked on alone, split between electronic-based songs and rock-adjacent songs (mostly emo, post hardcore, hardcore). I can do production, play guitar and bass, mix, master.
Ideal situation is to find another musician to work with where we both motivate each other and make some cool shit. I can do most things aside singing, so a vocalist would be really cool, but I know everyone and their mother is looking for one of those here so I am also open to another musician. I have a hard time doing music alone and like to have at least one other person to work with; it makes the process more fun for me. I play bass in one band and guitar in another band irl so this would be a sort of creative fulfillment project for me. I do get super into something once I am inspired, though.
I have been really liking the idea of making some sort of electronic music-centered project as over the past year I've been listening to a lot of it (vaporwave, DnB, house, IDM, jungle). I come from a background of metal, emo, punk, and hardcore, so I am also open to that or incorporating those elements if it fits. I'd say the artists that inspire me the most are George Clanton and Stereolab, but I like to grab inspiration from anywhere, even country!
Hmu if this interests you. I would expect to hear demos and such from you right away so I can see if I feel a spark of some sort; anyone without demos I would turn away, just as a heads up. I have more demos and such I can also link, as well as some stuff that is finished but not something I did alone.

i cant give too many details because i know him and his friends use reddit. ill just say this. im a minor and i dated a man over 15 years older than me. it was real life, not some online thing. we met at church. he broke up with me because he said im too young for him. after 2 years he just now realizes???? we dated for 2 years. my parents never found out. i cant do anything about it because we didnt do anything sexual because we were waiting for marriage. he convinced me my parents are bad. he isolated me and made me feel like i was going crazy for having normal human emotions. i have no other friends. he said really mean things to me. but i just want him to stay. he can keep being mean to me if he wants. he never even hit me and he was so gentle. he can do whatever he wants i just want him to stay. i will never find anyone else like him. he found me when i was really suffering and made me feel wanted. he blocked me on everything and he goes to a different church now. my formative years were wasted. i have nobody. he was the only reason i was alive. he helped me lose a lot of weight too and he gave me a healthy body. he did so much for me and now hes just left. i dont know what to do. i have nobody without him and now he is just gone. i hate him i hate him so much. how can someone born in an entirely different generation ever like someone so young? what the hell is wrong with him? why would he do this if he didnt even want anything sexual? i was going to drop out of school for him when i turned 18 and we were gonna move to Vermont and get married. so i didnt care about my grades. but now hes gone and i ruined my life. i will not get into college. i will not do anything with my life now and my grades cant be brought up. i used to be so smart. i used to have ambition. i wanted to be a lawyer. my only ambition was him after i met him and now hes gone and nothing is left. i cant do anything now. how can he jusy abandon me like this? for the past month since he left i have felt like im in 3rd person controlling a video game character

just wanted to share my experience and get some advice or suggestions, open to any especially if someone has also experienced the same thing. Anxiety and stress is genetic throughout my family but just up til about recently I have experienced my first severe panic attack. About a week ago I was having fun feeling relaxed and decided to take a hit of a weed pen that my friend had gotten from a vape store. I usually never smoke weed nor like it because it has always given me an experience of panic and paranoia that i did not enjoy. I then decided to take a few hits and nothing happened and i did not feel it or any effects off of it so i took one more hit of it and after about 20-30 mins i had gotten up out of bed and this big sorta rush feeling came right over me and i instantly freaked out and could feel my heart beating out of my chest. i had to lay down with my face in a blanket just to feel somewhat okay. eventually it had whore off... next day i wake up completely fine then after a few hours i feel that terrible feeling again come up over me and it sorta felt like i was high again so i started freaking out and my heart began to race. I took some benadryl seemed to subside the horrible feelings. next day I woke up with symptoms of depersonalization/ derealization. this is what i would say i usually experience while "high" but this was actually the worst I have ever felt. I had to run outside and sit down, i started bawling and my heart felt like it was beating uncontrollably. I looked around and it felt like I was all alone stuck in a dream like I wasn't even real. Since then it has been a couple of days with my symptoms decreasing slowly. every now and then i feel scared and have the fear of the feeling coming back and my heart racing. I do wake up sometimes in the middle of the night with my heart racing with difficulty of breathing. I have mostly been taking benadryl and vitamin D to help. I am trying to stay away from medications. but What seems to be really worrying me is my lack of concentration and control. I always feel drowsy and can't seem to concentrate and have a hard time with remembering things. I think the cause of the anxiety and fear was the cannabis pen. i am just looking for ways to relax my mind, and i am always stuck on the thought if im forever going to feel like this. before this incident i have never experienced things like this before, im not sure if i am only having anxiety because of my experience with the weed or it had actually opened me up to anxiety if that makes sense. only worry now seems to be getting my concentration back and feeling like i am a real person again and enjoying things like how i used to, has anyone else who has smoked or has anxiety experienced this? im wondering if the depersonalization is just from the weed or the anxiety itself and if it will be long term or subside. slowly tho the days have been getting better with little to none mini panic attacks

Was just playing a game, doing a mission to launch a icbm, done it 100 times, will probably do it 100 more
So host and I are running to rejoin the rest of the squad as we were just separated in a fight, he's shooting at my feet and around me, no issue, I think he's just having fun so I playfully shoot at his feet (I didn't actually hit him) but apparently this was the wrong thing to do
For the rest of the game everytime he was near me he'd kill me, I don't really kill him back (but another teammate did) and I said "dude why are you killing me?" In chat, nothing, mission goes on, gets close in another fight and he turns around and kills me again, i say "dude stop fucking killing me" and not 5 minutes later he kills me on the way to a item dump area and he shoots me in the back of the head, I say "fuck this" and leave
I had every intention to report him for obvious greifing but because he never said anything in chat I'm shit out of luck
I get friendly happens, God knows I've caught in as many cluster bombs as I've killed with them, it how the game is but if you're just gonna spend the game shooting your team you're an asshole and there should be someway of reporting people sucking the fun from the people who actually wanna play
I hope you got swarmed by every heavy devastator on the map and I hope they killed you through a wall

We dated for 2 years and right before Covid I found out I was pregnant. He was instantly against having a child, while I really wanted my baby. He was 29 and I was 33 at the time. It wasn’t planned but in my heart I felt like it was meant to be. He wouldn’t stop going on about how he wasn’t ready and there would be a right time, but that wasn’t at that very moment. I caved and had the abortion. I felt instant regret and was extremely emotional and moody for weeks afterwards. He showed zero interest and a few months later, he broke up with me with no clear reason other than “it’s just not working”. I never asked questions I just packed my stuff and left. Never spoke to him again.
We do have some mutual friends and yesterday, on Mother’s Day nonetheless, his Facebook came up in the people you may know section. His photo with his new girlfriend and their newborn son. Even though it’s been 3 years… the pain I felt was overwhelming. I can’t question it..time has passed and I know we both moved on..only thing that does confuse me is I found out they dated 3 months and then she got pregnant. I couldn’t help but feel less-than. Really weird feeling and I don’t know how to process it. I’m going from thinking I wasn’t good enough to feeling anger to crying. It brought back so many unwanted memories.

https://imgur.com/a/Iws41Ye Edit: I have realized I named it "Communist Technology/Artifacts" instead of Chinese Technology/Artifacts, please pretend that I didn't do that <3
Am I missing anything? I've tried to get everything but I'm wondering if anyone's aware of something I missed. Also before I start getting comments about something being out of place I'll explain why I put what where for.
The People's Power Armor -I'm aware the canonicity of the Communist Power Armor is dubious at best but its 1, discussed in the fallout bible, something Bethesda pulls from a lot. And 2, has a skin in fallout 76 THAT IS USED in the game by a chinese commissar.
Different Shades of Red -All of the things made by Americans on the list is just to show how Chinese technology takes from/inspires things from America, while writing this I have realized that I didn't take into account that some of the guns like the Mauser WERENT made in America so lets just pretend that the things that have an old glory red tint in their titles is foreign tech, not just American.
Warmachine -I put the warmachine and the chimera down despite them being most likely fabricated by America because they are still technically linked with the Chinese via America claiming they exist, now I'm 99% sure the chimera is Chinese propaganda and I'm pretty sure that the warmachine is a mix of depictions of the Chinese power armor and the Liberty Prime they were making this propaganda piece to drum up support for, its most likely fake.
Chinese Army Training Manual -I added the Chinese Army Training manual and the army uniforms because while they might not be technology they still give us insight of the innerworkings of China in the Fallout universe.
Hei Gui Stealth Suit MK I -I put two separate versions of the Hei Gui Stealth suit because I'm PRETTY sure that the stealth suits in Fallout New Vegas are old models, not just damaged suits (despite their terrible conditions they are stored in.) It would make sense if these suits were used to make the Stealth Suit series in the Big MT while the stealth boy suits actually have the invisibility tech that the most likely newer suits had.
Shanghai Type 37 -Now the elephant in the room, I know I put the 9mm SMG as Chinese made but the circumstantial evidence of Chinese probably infiltrating hoover damn, due to the aforementioned stealth suits. And there being stuff like the Chinese pistols and Chinese Assault Rifles in fallout 3 setting a president for Chinese weapons being common place. As well as the 9mm SMGs being chambered in 9mm instead of .45 like in fallout 2 leads me to believe that they are indeed a knockoff like the Chinese Pistol and Assault Rifle are. There's a really good reddit page about this in falloutlore that I'll link if anyone asks for that goes deeper into this but the Type 37 is a real Chinese knockoff of the grease gun chambered in 9mm so it would make sense for them to be the same fitting with the theme of copycat Chinese arms being commonplace in Fallout's America. Now why did I add "Shanghai" to the beginning of it? Well it was (I think) first created in Shanghai and since the Type 17 already has it's province where it was made at the beginning of it I though I might as well add the city where this one was made because I'm pretty sure Shanghai is in no province? I'm incredibly unelicited on this, which is one of the reasons I'm making this entire book long reddit post in the first place so please correct me if I'm wrong. So yeah that's why I did that.
This has been incredibly rambly and I'm sure I could've cut some stuff out but I'm not going to, this is meant to be a discussion to tell me what I should add and improve with this chart so it can be better. I'm thinking of making my own idea of what a Chinese Fallout game would look like which is the entire reason I'm doing this, I want a neat little chart of all the Chinese stuff we see in the games. This was so fun I might even do this for just Fallout companies in general! Thank you for your heavenly perseverance friend <3

I was friends with a girl a couple years ago and she has bpd. I stopped talking to her bc there was a lot of issues with her back then. She lived with me and her girlfriend. She would always try to kill herself in front of me and guess what I had to stop her from doing that. I’m sorry to those who suffer from this disorder it seems to be one of the hardest to live with. Anyway, she tried contacting me with 2 different apps and I never answered. She "apologized" on snapchat but I never replied. Tbh I don’t think she’s aware of the things she put me through… I’d have to go to work and call hetxt her constantly to make sure that she’s ok. Even if her gf was back at my place with her I still couldn’t count on her gf to watch her. I met her in high school years ago and we stayed friends even after school was over. She had some narcissist traits I would say and it was very hard for me to believe her sometimes… She used to kind of make me feel bad by saying oh u didn’t answer my call and I wanted to kill myself. Like I wasn’t allowed to breathe without having to worry about her. I had my own sh*t to deal with but to her since I wasn’t trying to kill myself I was fine. It’s almost like I wasn’t allowed to not be ok just bc she was doing way worse than me. My sister also has bpd (were not actually related by blood her mom is dating my dad and we grew up together) It’s difficult for me to understand them. I try to educate myself by reading a lot of stuff online about mental health etc.. Does anyone know the differences between avpd and bpd? If you have bpd pls tell me your personal experience with this disorder so that I can understand better. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

So I've struggled with depression and anxiety for years now and have always had a "just get through this one thing" and it will be okay sort of attitude. Just get through exams. Just get through this unit at uni. Just get through this degree and it'll get better. But when I got home on mothers day I realised I forgot to refilling my prescription of mood stabilisers (I'm on two different types). And spent all of yesterday feeling sick and uneasy until I could go pick them up in the late afternoon. I'm obese as I channel a lot of my feelings into binge eating and junk food I general so I get a lot of negative thoughts about the way I look and feel in my body. I also feel very insecure about not having full time work as my partner pays all bills and our mortgage whilst I have been working and studying part time. I do all grocery shopping and cooking, care for our high energy dog and most of the cleaning (and I'm messy in general so this is another problem area and something I struggle to get done). I keep feeling like I need to make so many changes that I don't even know where to start. Has anyone got any stories from feeling stuck in a negative loop and breaking free? I feel like I'm always exhausted and idk if it's mental or physical or just a lack of willpowediscipline. Feeling like I just needed a good rant, as often feel like a burden to friends/fmaily/my partner. But if anyone has any tips to just getting into a better mental thought cycle, being more productive at home or loosing some weight and feeling better about myself in general please share! Think hearing some success stories and knowing I'm not alone will go a long way 🤞

Hello!
So I have a confusing situation with a girl. For context we are co-workers for almost 5-6 months we were friends she confessed to me that she likes me. So we have a few dates and it was a blast and we both have fun, But weeks afterwards she didn't mentioned that she was in a long-term relationship and it really impacted her in such a negative way and they just broke up a month ago prior to us going out. The wounds are still fresh and it showed like she wasn't ready to move on and we decided to just take it slow and focus on her to heal and be 100% and if ever me and her can have a conversation if we want to continue forward.
She agreed, but she is giving me mixed signs. She would say that she really likes me and at the same time she would tell me why does her ex left her or why didn't he was a better man and so on. Until recently she called me her "best friend" while she is flirty, going out and so on. So I'm really confused that sure we decided to be friends and see how it goes. but at the same time she is giving me signals that she really "likes" me and do more than friends stuff.
Am I just being a rebound? Should I accept as it is like hey we're just friends and move on. Im just lost on this situation because like I don't know that should I give up my feelings of liking her or what. Thanks!

The stay itself was definitely different overall. He was friendly I guess, but pretty picky about things, and texted pretty constantly. He also had a few cameras in the house and at random times I’d notice they’d turn on and he’d be watching me. It was a little creepy. I thought about saying something to rover at one point, but I stuck it out because I need the money.
However in the end the guy left me a good rating and great tip. 3 days after the stay ended he texted me saying his keyboard for his computer was broken. I used it while I was there, but I know for a fact I didn’t break it. I’m thinking of just blocking him. Is there anything he can do on the rover app with everything being closed out? I don’t think I want anything to do with him again, and I kind of feel like he’s lying.

I know there are people who love cooking. I'm not one of those people, and I think that's perfectly ok. (I love cleaning, for example, and I know some people hate that.)
But the human body needs food, and cooking dinner every day is such a chore. After I get home around 7, I'm too tired to cook, and my cooking always turns out mediocre—edible, but just tolerable. I end up eating more or less the same thing every day, because I live by myself and can't buy variety, especially in veggies, without the ingredients going bad (why is everything sold in bulk???). At the end, cooking—and eating—dinner is a chore, like laundry or groceries, except it's a daily one after work instead of weekly on a weekend.
I've tried looking into how to solve this, and it seems most people living by themselves get by in one of two ways:

1. Meal prep: I can't stand eating the same food more than two days in a row. Just a personal thing.
2. A simple side with or variation of pasta or rice: I'm not a fan of either, or carbs-heavy food in general.

When I first started living by myself, I didn't like cooking so I just didn't eat dinner for a while. I lost about 30 lbs—enough for friends and coworkers to notice, and for family to worry. Now I eat out and order a lot, but it hurts to think how much I'm spending.
Does anyone else feel this way about cooking? How do I make it bearable?
