Saw some weird, bizarre, crazy, creepy, or downright disgusting thing for sale at a garage sale, yard sale, Craigslist, or thrift shop? If it makes you go WTF, this is the place for it!
2024.05.14 22:23 Wizardofthewheel I think I figured out why the Formula Drift comments on the Field/Lz debacle looks so weird
I was looking at the comments that the Formula Drift account is leaving on youtube and it seems that the fans and Formula Drift are not arguing about the same thing.
While the community complains about the judges and the result, Formula Drift is saying that they made the right call according to the rule book. To them, there were no problems. Matt didn't incomplete. Lz did. You can't be off-throttle in an acceleration zone. The situation is clear as day to them. What they seem to fail to understand is that we don't agree with the rulebook. Most fans seem to think that racing until you're close enough to bump the lead driver to make him spin out should not be a successful strategy.
You're right Formula Drift: The judges are good. They know the rules. They understand the rules. They apply the rules as the rulebook says they should.
But please, recognize what the fans are saying: LZ was the superior driver that day, so why are the rules rewarding Field?
PS: I really wanted to talk about the fact that Formula Drift doesn't seem to care that drivers want to maximize their safety in those situations and minimize the cost of repairs, but I feel that this is going to be way too big of a post. If LZ had stayed on throttle until he hit something, he would've won. But instead, Field raced until he hit someone.... And he won.

2024.05.14 22:23 iamnotdenver Jeans ID & Question
 | I just picked up a pair of these jeans, and the label says they’re 100% cotton. However, they almost feel like cardboard! I’m new to non-flex jeans because I want to find a new solution. Is this how they’re supposed to feel—rigid and unforgiving? And is there a way to properly soak/wash them without them shrinking much? submitted by iamnotdenver to mensfashion [link] [comments] |
2024.05.14 22:22 HonestyAITA Am I The Scalawag For BLOCKING My Ex Because He Lied To Me After He Cheated?
This is my first post on reddit. However, I was told that the communities give some great advice when it comes to stuff like this.
Alright, I 20(F) had started dating my ex boyfriend, 20(M). Lets call him Noah. Noah and I got together in December of 2023. Him and I had met each other's families and so on.
I'm a nerd when it comes to playing on VR (where I met him). So when I met him and we had similar interests we clicked.
In the early days to mid days of March, I had noticed that he was getting more and more distant. (Keep in mind that we do not nor did ever live together.)
We used to FaceTime and chat constantly throughout the day. However, one time when I had gotten off work I noticed that Noah was playing VR without me.
Now at first I didn't consider anything other than him playing with a friend or something. So, I joined him because I wanted to play with him after a long day.
However Noah didn't notice that I had joined because when I found him in the world he was with another girl and had no reaction to my presence.
At first I didn't think much of this because it wasn't like I didn't allow him to have friends that were girls or anything.
As a girl would do, I walked up to them in the game and overheard them talking. Her: "Whats your plan?" Him: "I don't know yet babe."
After the said babe I felt my heart break. So I took screenshots of them hanging out together and left the world. I waited for Noah to text me or call because he usually did when he knew I was off.
Then I got a text. It was in a group with him, another person and myself. All he said was that he needed to ask me a question. I first asked who this other person was then Noah introduced me to her.
The girl, let's call her Emma, said that she was excited to meet me and had been waiting. I had asked for some context and all Noah had said was that hes known her for a while.
This raised some suspicion on his part but I ignored it. I was trying to trust him. Then Noah later texted in the group with Emma asking me if I had wanted to meet with Emmas boyfriend because he and Noah had been friends for a bit.
I said yes and then Noah introduced me to him. Let's call him Austin. I didn't really think much about Austin until him and I became closer. When we had first talked it was mostly about what we do, our hobbies, etc.
A few weeks after I met him I had gotten a text from the group with Noah, Emma and myself. It was from Noah saying the he had an idea.
I should've known that this was a red flag. I responded with a "Ok." or "Go ahead". Then I got a question that I was never expecting.
Him: "Can we have a three-way relationship with Emma?" Me: "What?" Emma: "We just both think it would be the best for all three of us."
After that I turned my phone off. I never ever thought I would hear that question. Then I asked about Austin and Emma told me that they had broken up. So I believed her.
I was so out of it I said "Ok." to the group. Then later I had gotten a text from a friend saying that he had no clue that me and Noah would break up. I was confused but I just ignored it.
Later I had gotten a message from Austin saying we should hangout on VR. So I got on and we got to talking. Then I had found out the Austin and Emma were still together and he had found out that me and Noah were also still together.
The next thing I knew I was blocking Noah on everything. Because Austin was showing me screenshots of their conversations and I had counted that as cheating.
Then I had gotten texts from Noahs friends saying that it was wrong of me to block him out of the blue like that. But I think that he should've seen it coming either way.
I don't know. Am I the Scalawag For Blocking Him?
My apologies for any gaps or mistakes! I'm on mobile as of right now. I don't plan to log back into this account for a while so please forgive me if I don't update as quickly as you hope.

2024.05.14 22:22 Striking_Walk_7017 Am I wrong for not wanting my spouse to rekindle a toxic friendship?
My spouse had these two friends who used the hell out of them. Anytime my spouse was successful, they would create drama to drag my spouse down. They would try to convince my spouse that they can't be successful. These friends were also always a one way relationship.
My spouse would always communicate to them, but the only time my spouse would hear from these friends was only when they wanted something. My spouse never smiled around these people, and could never be themselves. These friends never showed interest that they really wanted to get to know my spouse of who they are as a person either.
They've always gotten into multiple arguments, and my spouse says that this is normal for a friendship. These friends would say their sorry but then would always revert back to being toxic. They even physically tried to harm my spouse.
So my spouse questioned how they were being treated in this "friendship" and these friends replied that the friendship they had with my spouse is a game and they like how they felt that they had more things in life then my spouse did for why they would only have my spouse around; the friendship was all fake.
Added to this, long story short, my spouse sufferes from childhood abuse from their abusive narcissistic mother, and these friends choose to be associated with my spouses abusive mother. Due to this, my spouse has PTSD.
My spouse did cut ties with their family and these friends, and sought out therapy to work on their depression and traumas. And I cannot say enough to not only how my spouse has improved but how healthier life had become without these abusive toxic people in it.
Unfortunately, with it recently having been mother's day, something must've triggered my spouse sending them into depression and they broke no contact with one of the friends.
My spouse believes these friends can change, even though for over five years my spouse had given them chances to and they never did. In fact, they would tell my spouse that my spouse is the one that needs mental help.
My spouse snapped in anger and got defensive of these friends telling me I'm trying to control them (my spouse) and that I'm being manipulative for when I had expressed how I advise against them talking to these friends and it's a friendship I would never support for my spouse to have because of how these friends had treated them. I started to cry, and now my spouse claims I'm just trying to make them feel guilty.
I've continued to express how I am afraid given that not only how these friends chose to be associated with their (my spouse) abusers, but also how they've tried to harm my spouse physically and that this is not normal behavior in a friendship that they (my spouse) believe it to be. And with my spouse trying to rekindle this toxic friendship, I feel it's a door my spouse is letting back open for the abuse to continue again.
I've encouraged my spouse to find healthier people to surround themselves with, because I strongly believe they're putting their time and energy into the wrong people who would never do the same for them. And my spouse thinks they can't find better friends.

2024.05.14 22:22 katzneverythingnice I ruined my own life
Or maybe the girl who sexually abused me ruined my life. I don’t know. I have no one. I confided in my aunt that I have an addiction problem with weed and she turned me away saying she was disappointed. Now she won’t respond to my messages. My dad is not replying either and I think he’s tired of hearing me complain about my life. My mom is dead. But even she was tired of hearing about my pain and suffering. No one truly loves me. And I did this to myself. I ruined everything. Once I take those pills there’s no going back. I will be forever 26. I lost the love of my life due to my own actions. Why did I sabotage my own life? Why did I make my life miserable? Am I already in hell? I think I’m already in hell. My brain constantly attacks me. I am sick. My brain is diseased and I did this to myself by smoking weed knowing that it makes me go through psychosis. Every time. I’ve wasted so much money on weed. I’ve tried to quit so many times. It only harms me. It gives me intrusive thoughts and makes me want to kill myself. Today I ruined my relationship with my aunt. One of the very few people who love me. Well, loved me. This comes after ruining my relationship with the love of my life… I hurt him so many times AND I DIDNT MEAN TO. I pushed away all my friends… unconsciously. I have BPD. I’m afraid the only way out of this sickness is suicide. I have no one. I’ve been baker acted 3 times… it’s clear I’ve wanted this for a long time. Slowly i began to lose everyone who ever cared about me. Nobody wants me. I can’t believe this is reality. I can’t believe that I can’t start over and go back in time and do things correctly. I can’t believe this is all because of sexual abuse as a toddler. I became a sex addict and one guy even called me a slut while he was fucking me. I can’t do it anymore. I can’t live anymore. There is no God.

2024.05.14 22:22 kokor0kara Living it day by day
It’s been 1.5 months since dday, my world was turned upside down, I no longer feel like I’m safe in this marriage. I found out about his EA by checking his phone. I’ve had multiple health problems since and it’s not stopping, can’t sleep half the time and called suicide hotline because at times it feels easier to just end it all. Pretty much daily I still have moments where I’m just so sad, feel so betrayed and feel all the trauma physically. I probably don’t know the whole truth and I don’t know if he’ll ever tell me the whole truth. But honestly I’m not sure if I want to know or can handle it now that I decided to stay with him and work on it. But I just want to write off the past couple of years of when it was going on. I don’t know what’s tinted and what’s not, but it almost feels good knowing there’s a reason why he treated me the way he did, to make me feel unloved and not lovable. It’s like my whole perspective changed, especially now that I know I have the choice to leave him or stay and try to make something out of this relationship. Just like cheating was his choice, this, making it work and putting in the work, it’s my choice, it’s up to me. I have the power. Never felt more secure before, and I feel like my mind is clear.
He has not apologized to me but I decided to stay when I finally saw how hurt he has been in this marriage over the past years, how much work he’s been putting in and how absent I’ve been because hes not meeting my needs. It makes me realize he still cares about me, so even though it doesn’t excuse what he had done to my physical and mental health, I want to try to make it right again. I started IC, started showing up for the marriage and he truly responded to it as well. I feel loved again and feel like this time it’s up to me what I get from this relationship. It’s hard work and I wished it didn’t take what had happened for me to reach this realization - I just thought he’d always be there for me, and I get to keep giving him the cold shoulder when he doesn’t live up to my expectations.
I’m happy about our interactions and if only the feeling of betrayal could become less intense when I’m by myself. Sometimes it’s intense when it’s triggered by him, and I’m so tempted to check his phone to make sure he’s cut ties with the AP. Maybe I’m just being naive on fixing the relationship first then set boundaries? But I do feel my own growth through the period. And I can say I’ve tried my best to save this marriage. Will we survive it I don’t know, but time will tell.

2024.05.14 22:21 An0nym355 So much discourse on here has been about perplexing complaints, disappointment and weird nitpicks … is that what film discussion has devolved into? Can we discuss the good that is actually there onscreen, cool things and moments and potential of the movie …
So much discourse on here has been about perplexing complaints, disappointment and weird nitpicks … is that what film discussion has devolved into? Can we discuss the good that is actually there onscreen, cool things and moments and potential of the movie …
This is a bit of a summary of comments I’ve made on others repetitive posts, but, truly people’s reactions to this movie are so odd.
This is a solid franchise installment. It is not enslaved to the previous installments. It explores new characters, new scenarios, new concepts, and a new adventure tone. It is well made and directed, with good characters and story.
I saw one comment dismiss this movie as not good and “just CG” and treat it like a transformers movie? Ridiculous. Once the complainers and nit pickers move on from whatever dark gritty depressing Caesar sequel was in their mind, (I love those three, but they can’t and shouldn’t all be the same) and disentangle what they expected or imagined with whats actually there to enjoy onscreen, I hope they don’t dismiss something as quality as this so quickly.
Most franchise installments are garbage, this is actually good, and does what a table reset sequel should do, and people are like “whhhaaaa no Caesar”, “whaaa why isn’t Proximus Grand Admiral Thrawn”, “whaaaa why isn’t Noa Rambo?”… “I am an expert on rust and oxidation in worlds of talking apes” …
I really enjoyed it. Do I think it’s as transcendent or as quality as Dawn? No. But I also don’t need or expect every installment in a franchise to top the last or be some iteration of just like the last or to get more and more serious and dark. Quite the contrary, I was glad this had a whole different tone than War, which while I respect its incredible filmmaking, was pretty serious and grimdark.
I enjoy exploring new potential and characters and expanding the world and scenarios. The filmmaking was good, each story beat led to the next and the scenes were built in an immersive way. These characters are not Caesar, they are different. I am perplexed by a group of people who supposedly enjoy the franchise setting their phasers for complain instead of enjoy.
Another common comment: Not as good as Dawn. Why does it have to be one or the other? I doubt we EVER get an installment as good as Dawn, since no franchise EVER gets an installment as good as Dawn. But that reductive view is not the point of a franchise and not the point of film discussion for anything besides twelve year olds. The point of a franchise is to continue in an enjoyable entertainment world full of potential. Is every Star Wars movie not as good as Empire a failure? No. Is every Bond movie not as good as Goldfinger or Casino Royale a failure? No. Is every Mission Impossible not as good as Fallout a failure? No. Cheeseburgers can be good, AND steaks can be good. Life is not one big YouTube ranking video, otherwise you wouldn’t enjoy anything.
Some fun things we CAN discuss :
How do we work toward ending at the 68 original? The Nevada bunker humans, will they launch a nuke and California will sink into the ocean and we will come to realize that Statue of Liberty is the one from New York New York hotel in Vegas? LOL.
Will Raka learn more about Caesar, and come back to Noa and say : you didn’t realize you were his lineage with those eyes and that mark on your chest? Did you get picked up by an eagle as a baby and get dropped with your adopted parents in Eagle Clan?
With Mae: I feel we are being shown the best and worst of humanity and life at the same time. Humans got in this mess by trying to use technology to manipulate nature. Noa and his clan (interesting to consider why they are a separate offshoot) live in harmony with nature and the Eagles. They eventually win through this harmony.
Mae shows the best and worst of humanity, she and they are survivors and will do anything to survive, she uses the good climbers to reach her goal (perhaps manipulating all events from the beginning to get Noa and his friends there and use them) She will kill her own kind. She and the humans are over reliant on technology to survive.
She doesn’t like seeing Noa able to fix the cattle prods and even perhaps plans to kill him because he’s too smart, as she’s willing to kill her own kind for the apes to not have technology. But Noa reminds her that she was saved by Raka and kindness. And that stays her hand.
Also at the ending the question lingers: Can humans live at peace with those that are different than them, without trying to dominate them? The ending of Rise was a good setup, but also very open ended. As was Dawn. This seems in line with those endings.
Maybe the point and message of the movie is to co-exist, to live in harmony with nature, to not try and dominate others or bend nature or others to our will, to not depend on technology too much, and instead embrace nature and coexist as eagle clan does with the eagles. Discussing and figuring out what the film actually says as made by competent professionals is more enjoyable than instead discussing what you wanted it to say in the dark revenge teenage coloring book of your imagination where all movies are grimdark and the same.
Can we have some discussion instead of just complaints?

Discussing and figuring out what the film actually says as made by competent professionals is more enjoyable than instead discussing what you wanted it to say in the dark revenge teenage coloring book of your imagination where all movies are grimdark and the same.
Can we have some discussion instead of just complaints?
2024.05.14 22:21 bravernaker I hate my sister. Like a hate so deep I feel her under my skin and want to set myself on fire to get rid of her.
TW: severe abuse. Advice wanted. TLDR at the bottom.
I absolutely loathe my sister. Absolutely and completely. She doesn’t seem to realize or understand this at all. She severely abused me growing up, like severely. Imagine rug burn on my face, that type of bad and it was consistent. She thinks I had an easy childhood and denies any abuse. She thinks my parents were easier on me, they weren’t. They were pretty awful, I wasn’t ready to admit this before but they were awful as well. Similar types of awful. They’ve since changed from JustNo to MostlyYes in their older age, yay for them, growth is possible at any age, I suppose. She, however, has grown VERY little. She’s still horrible. She invalidates any/all of my feelings, gaslights me consistently. Our relationship has shrunk significantly because I put an entire ocean between us 15 years ago. Thank heavens I had the sense to do that back then. Fleeing was the best thing I have ever done for myself, second only to my loving and supportive partner.
Put simply, I cannot stand my sister. She made my childhood unbearable. She imparted trauma so deep that 15 years later and 7 years of therapy, along with great friends and a loving partner, she still triggers me. She cannot handle boundaries and has her own but disrespects other people’s boundaries consistently.
She would bang on my door, I had locks on my bedroom door. Where I grew up this is common practice for safety reasons. She would bang and bang and bang until she tired herself out. She would yell the entire time and say obscenities, insult me and degrade me. I lived with zero dignity for the first half plus of my life. It was a disgusting existence full of self loathing, perpetual misery and constant fear and guilt and shame.
I can’t seem to bring myself to completely cut ties with my toxic family. Sorry if there are typos and poor structure, I wrote this as a stream of consciousness and I don’t know that I’m ready to read and review it for edits. Thank you in advance.
If you made it this far, thank you for reading. Any advice appreciated. I know I need to cut her off but I think I need additional perspective to fully get there. As I write this I’m filled with intense jitters I haven’t been able to shake since she triggered me late last night.
TLDR; my sister is so awful but I somehow can’t seem to cut her off. Help. Perspective needed. This whole concept of you’re stuck with family for life seems so ingrained in my head I’m actually fearful of cutting her off.

2024.05.14 22:21 jayse232 Debate account
So i have a tiktok page where i want to create a community centred around debate, i want to encourage more people to debate/i just want to post about topics that result in debate
Im a software developer lol but I have no clue about this social media stuff, I consume it like no other don't get me wrong, but content creation wise - I've always sucked with anything creative/artistic. I know my videos themselves might be trash but I have plenty of debate topics/ideas, I just don't know how to improve my videos beyond saying the topic and adding small bits of detail. Maybe I'm too monotone or something idk. I'm funny irl but cnt do it in videos lol I just cnt "turn on" my funniness but also if I attempt to be funny I go from 0 to 100 and start to become offensive lmao. So it results in maybe videos that are too serious? Maybe I don't speak clear enough either idk? No one in the comments has said that but maybe my voice doesn't attract people to keep watching idk. Would love any tips/ideas.
Unlike most people who have low morale/confidence, if someone cooks me or tells me it sucks I will agree, so I won't get hurt by any comment.

2024.05.14 22:20 Consistent_Smoke8700 i don’t know what to do
hi, i, 18f, am looking for some advice. here’s the story. my ex boyfriend of about five months randomly ghosted me three months ago, he claimed he was busy with life and would promise that he would make time for me when i’d go crying to him asking for him to at least act like he loves me and he would promise he would but he didn’t. this cycle happened three times and i started to kind of fall out of love with each disappointment and i ultimately ended up breaking things off, he asked me to wait for him two months before i talk to anyone else because he felt by then he would have his issues figured out and i said yes, though i wasn’t convinced he was coming back. during this time a friend i had known for about a year had told me that he was going through a breakup as well so we started hanging out more often, he is 23. i looked to him as a kind of mentor and i never had seen anything happening with him ever, as dispite us being friends, we would barely ever talk. the breakups and us not wanting to be lonely pushed us to do so and bond a bit more, as i know this friend online we’d call and stream movies then fall asleep on the phone after a friend suggested since we both didn’t wanna be alone at night, we do so, a month or so after this and there started to be a tension that both of us felt, i was worried that this was just a rebound tension and didn’t really act on it and as a matter of fact considered distancing myself, he felt this as well and made a move after a while, i told him my concern and he said he doesn’t feel that’s the case and so we started to flirt casually, a month or so after this my ex came back, he messaged me saying how he had been working the past two months for me and etc, it was a very confusing time and emotions went all over the place as sometimes the words he’d say would just make my heart ache and i took it for love, i leave the guy i’m talking to and try to figure things out with my ex but i can’t seem to really be comfortable so i decided it wasn’t love and went and did my own thing, eventually the guy messaged, asked how me and my ex are and time skip, we are flirting again. he asked me to officially be talking to him a bit after this. my ex comes back and it’s a bunch of crying every time we have a conversation on both ends but i tell him i don’t think i love him, he is persistent and stubborn and wants to show me he isint the guy who ghosted me and that he can keep his word, in his mind i do love him, but a lot of fear is holding me back from talking to him again, i personally don’t know how to feel right now. we call again and he confessed he purposely lied and distanced himself because he didn’t wanna break up with me but also didn’t want me to suffer being with a busy man, i argued that i would’ve stayed and he apologized and was saying he was doing what he thought was right. another time skip to where we are now, i’ve been keeping my ex as a friend since this little talk, he’s been respecting me now dating this guy(it’s been three days) despite the fact that i was unsure exactly how to feel as i do care for this guy but events had lead me to reaching out to his ex, he’s one of those guys who seem picture perfect, and due to life situations i was overthinking so i asked her for anything she had to tell me, come to find out he had ghosted her, blocked her out of nowhere as a breakup, and earlier that day that he had broken up with her, he had made a suggestive comment to me. this comment was him pretending he had a friend who’s a bit older that liked his other friend who’s a bit younger, same age gap. i didn’t catch on to this at the time but i was like , it’s weird but as long as they’re happy, he told me after we started “talking” that it was because he was into me and wanted to know how i’d react but is now saying he was just curious and it was only platonic. i know this is all hectic but there’s a few more minor details im gonna leave out for everyone’s privacy, where we are now is my ex is asking for another chance and telling me that this guy isint good for me and is having his friend (18f, taken) tell me she feels the same way, i don’t know what i should do. i care for this guy and dont wanna lose our memories but my ex brings up valid points that i dont think is just him “hating” or being petty and this guy seems a bit off when i question him. he was very cold about it over the phone but had claimed it’s because the situation was kinda traumatic for him. i feel like it’s not big enough to breakup over but is also a bother for me.
EDIT: my boyfriend’s ex told me as well that he love bombs, she said he’s a great guy overall but had spoiled her financially and emotionally then just kinda shut down, hence why him being cold was concerning. sorry this is all hectic.

2024.05.14 22:20 Bass-ape Maybe not the best way to get a new Maverick
 | Hey everybody. I got in an accident in my 23 XLT Hybrid recently and wanted to share my before and after a with the new truck. I had a 23 XLT Hybrid and ended up getting hit at about 40mph by another truck. It was jarring as hell, but the experience made me even more a fan of the truck as I walked away with only some bruises and a scrape on my arm. The safety of the truck is solid and I'm grateful I wasn't in the 97 Ranger I had before buying it. submitted by Bass-ape to FordMaverickTruck [link] [comments] Luckily insurance paid out way more than I was expecting and I was able to get a new 24 XLT Hybrid in Cactus Gray and actually bring my car payment down quite a bit. Luckily I was able to scavenge my floor mats and tonneau cover from the wreck before it was hauled away. Gotta say, I like my new one even more lol But stay safe out there everyone, things can go wrong n the blink of an eye. |

2024.05.14 22:20 henlo189 Met a guy 30M through a mutual 26F, can’t tell if he’s interested or just not looking to commit?
Met this french guy over the weekend at a private event with mutual friends and we hit it off. He got me a drink and my number.
Asked me on a date the next day and we met up for drinks, dinner and even made it to his place after where he played some guitar for me. He’s super sweet and we get along quite well. We only made out with clothes off and didn’t really make it all the way.
I ended up sleeping over and we woke up to some coffee and hugging. He asked me when my flight was and I left pretty early.
He did mention a few times we should see each other when I’m back but I’m gone for a wisdom teeth removal and it’s looking like a two week trip out of town.
A week later, he texted me on the day of my surgery wishing me good luck! We’ve talked a bit for a few days after and then left me on read haha.
I basically double texted him once I got back to town, and he invited me to an event he was hosting. Went to go say hello and we briefly spoke. He texted me after saying he really appreciated that I came out. We’ve been talking ever since, and it’s been a few days. I wouldn’t consider our second date this invited party but he hasn’t asked for another date since. Should he be making the move for that actually second date where we are one on one?
Maybe he’s not really interested in that anymore?

2024.05.14 22:20 thinkingoutloud999 I loved you always. But i let nobody see and never acted. Because... it wasnt the right time or situation.
Help! Throwaway account because i don't want to be recognized😅
I 35F am in love with my bff 47M....
Not just in love. Really in love.
We had a friendship that goes more than 20 years back. We had a connection back then but i never did anything with those feelings because i was under aged and never even would have considered he would feel something for me. I always thought he saw me as his younger siste niece kind of girl. I looked up to him and even thought that my feelings were because of my puberty and him just beeing awesome in my eyes.
We lost contact for almost 10 years because our shared contact went in to another fase of his life and social media and contact wasnt the same as now. Somebody wasnt easy to find once lost.
But 5,5 years ago i went to a party and... there he was! We were over the moon seeing eachother again! He proudly presented me to his wife, we had a blast that evening and promised we would now keep in touch.
I was single at that time and on that same evening I hooked up with a very cute guy for a one night stand ( first time in my life after a 14 year relationship). That didn’t turn out to be a one night stand... we had a relationship for 4 years.
Only a month in, it turns out he is really good friends with my friend who i lost contact with.
Well... that went really well! We spend a lot of time with the four of us. Went to parties, had nice evenings at home, stayed over at their place or ours, and sometimes it was just us 2 reconnecting and going away together. Sometimes just the 2 males away together, all combo's were possible.
The relationship between me and my male bff grew. We were really grateful for the second chance of spending time together. But... i did already caught myself thinking.... why didn’t i run in to him earlier? Why did we never find eachother? I hope i find a man like him. But i would never!!! Hook up with a married man or even suggest or let him notice! And time went on. Everything was nice.
Then he drops a bomb. His wife cheated. Big time. With a shitshow coming with that you can't even imagine. He told us everything. We were in shock! After about a month of frustration, thinking, seeking help... they decide they want to save their marriage. I supported that choice. I could get that you don't want to throw away if you stil think you can save it. My boyfriend did not. He couldnt forgive her.
Later on my bff warned me..... because he saw that my relationship with my boyfriend was not ok due to his anger management problems and addictions. Combine that with my childhood trauma where i was neglected and hit and scolded way too many times... i let this guy treat me like shit again. I also did things wrong within the relationship but was always honest about working on myself. It finally exploded with him beeing violent.
A lot of people around us were incredibly angry with him. I was shattered in pieces. I was thankful for the support. Also from this couple. Because i trusted them. After a few months of grief i was starting to get back on my feet. Finally.
And then... he calls and tells me they gave up on their marriage. He was gonna call it quits. Totally tired of trying to feel it again. Devistated it didnt work. Thinking he would grow old with her. And my heart broke too! I wanted it to work. For him.
And that's the moment i realised again. For him. For him. I don't care for her if he doesnt.
We spend so much time together. We had evenings full of sorrow and drinks and movies to get over the pain, helped him in his new house, so many nice laughs, parties and joy and my feelings expand and expand. Finally i blurred out that i always thought of him of a really perfect guy but that i would have never acted on it while he was married. He was in shock. He did notice the behaviour of the last period but it was there all the time? He honestly said to me... i need time. I need to heal from this. I don't want anything to happen between us and i may become a mistake. And i totally agreed. I'll wait.
It's one year since the divorce.. We had so many amazing times together. Totally comfortabel and beeing just us. And yes, some moments you can feel it in the air.
I can't wait anymore. I need to do something. Kiss him. Tell him again. Something. Or not? I'm so afraid of losing this one of a kind friendship. But i also don't want to miss out any longer on what could be our happy ever after?
I wanna give him the world. I would never betray him like that. I would give everything for a life together.

I can't wait anymore. I need to do something. Kiss him. Tell him again. Something. Or not? I'm so afraid of losing this one of a kind friendship. But i also don't want to miss out any longer on what could be our happy ever after?
I wanna give him the world. I would never betray him like that. I would give everything for a life together.
2024.05.14 22:19 Beatboxamateur The contrast in OpenAI versus Google's approach
As Google IO is wrapping up today, something I wanted to talk about is how glaringly obvious the different approaches in product announcement that OpenAI and Google take, and how that reflects the quality of their products.
Now to first caveat, Google(Alphabet) as a corporation has many more responsibilities than OpenAI. They have to maintain and provide for all of their billions of users, and that shows in how much time is spent showing minor AI applications in their existing products. There's a lot more pressure on them to succeed, since they're the "800 pound gorilla".
Let's start at the OpenAI event; it's less than 30 minutes long and speaks for itself. They had some gaffs with GPT-4o cutting out, but it didn't matter, because everyone was blown away by the product itself. They had enough confidence to just show off their new product, accompanied by a few videos of employees experimenting with it in different ways.
Now if we head over to the Google IO, they're trying to streamline and plan out everything meticulously, even to the point of having their employee say "look here I was able to cut you off, Astra", see that everyone?! We can do what OpenAI can do.
We even have Google's Walmart Sora!! which is generating very little buzz because it's seemingly not as good as Sora (which OpenAI had sitting around for months and just pulled out of nowhere), and also lost any excitement factor because OpenAI yet again, beat Google to the punch.
I think this really just continues to reflect the quote by Satya, that they're making Google dance. Whether or not Google pulls through in the end and comes on top as clearly the leader in the AI space, it's very much clear that OpenAI powered by Microsoft's compute is making them sweat like hell in the current moment.

2024.05.14 22:19 Less-Lion-6331 Church home hunting
TL;DR at bottom.
I (40m) gave my life to Christ nearly 20 years ago. I attended a storefront church which mostly comprised of the pastors family. I had recently become friends with one of his children. Looking back at that part of my life, it was akin to say- Church of John the Baptist. Things were different, but lead the way to my relationship with Christ. Call it "Church-A." Pastor here has since passed away and his children dispersed to different places.

Looking back at that part of my life, it was akin to say- Church of John the Baptist. Things were different, but lead the way to my relationship with Christ. Call it "Church-A." Pastor here has since passed away and his children dispersed to different places.
- Things changed for me, growing spiritually and finding my gifts. Through networking I found myself visiting another church where I felt led to join, and all the pieces fell into place. While those pieces fell into place and things progressed great, I allowed sin to manifest. I was single and in my mid-20s, I stuck out like a sore thumb at this church of ~1000. Call it "Church-B" I loved it there. I worked there first as volunteer and then filing a need in one of the ministry departments. While there, I met a young lady in her early 20s, and through a series of sinful events, while engaged, we had premarital sex and she became pregnant. We married prior the baby's birth, but our connection to Church-B was strained. Some showed love, some didn't bother to hide their judgement and our pride got in-between. We moved away, later having another child and our marriage failing; rarely attending any local church, even more rarely visiting Church-B. Eventually, the marriage failed and ended in divorce.
- Fast forwarding several years: I moved back to the area, but did not return to Church-B. I visited a few places. Met someone and joined her church of about ~500. Call it "Church-C." We got married a few years later, moved away but still attend Church-C. Recently I heard someone say, a church should make you feel like you belong before you believe. Though I believe, I've never felt like I belonged. I have given Church-C; or maybe myself; about a year to grow. There's no serving opportunity. No small groups. No connections. No meaningful replenishment and teaching the Word barely scrapes the surface.
- Some days, yearning for biblical teaching and spiritual refreshment each week, we visited another local church, and youtube'd another local church when we couldn't leave home. The one we visited we'll call "Church-D" and one that we watch "Church-E." Both are very biblical and community-driven. Church-D is closer to where we anticipate moving at the end of the year. Church-E has a main campus closer to where we live now, and has smaller 'satellite' churches all over our area.
- Church-E is now shepherded by the pastor of Church-B. He and many of his staff that followed were/are very familiar with me and my ex-wife. He had an unfruitful encounter with me when the divorce was in progress. It was my fault, and many of his staff is aware of the encounter. His teaching is solid. As is pastor of Church-D.
- Church-C just isn't home. I haven't really found alternatives in the area where we plan to return at the end of the year. But as my wife and newborn are looking to me to lead them, as well as my first two children from my first marriage, I need to find the place that I can be the head of my household and have a church community with me. If I go to Church-E, it may be difficult to serve given the staff and senior pastor familiar with my past. I would not blame them, as trust would need to be restored and we haven't had the opportunity to build that back up.
- Church-D would be a fresh start. Plain and simple, but I'm not attempting to hide from my sin and the impact it made in my life. I know what the Bible says. I have Christ and His blood covers me. But I am also unsure and could use the suggestions of strangers on the internet to tell me what I haven't seen.
2024.05.14 22:18 Review01999 Do you think a drunken mistake can be forgiven?
This person is sweet to me. He’d always be excited each time he has the chance to meet me. He opens doors for me. He always prioritise me and what I want, where I want to go, what I want to do, what I want to eat. He discuss future plans with me. He doesn’t go AWOL when we have problems, even though I’m the type who gets tired of talking about the problem. He holds me close wherever we go, whenever, in front of his friends, in front of his family. He shows me off. He doesn’t care what his friends think of me when I puke because I was drunk. He hugs me close when we sleep together. He always wants to be close. He wants to do things together with me, even when he has to go out of his way. I love him. He knows I do, and I like to believe I take care of him the way he takes care of me. He’s in my head every minute of the day. And I express my love for him verbally and physically. I truly love him and I thought we’d take our relationship all the way.
But he did a mistake when he was drunk. A big one at that. He claims his judgement was clouded and he was being selfish and he’s extremely sorry. But I feel extremely betrayed. We’ve been together for close to a year and with each loving day we went through he had the nerve to make that mistake.
I wish he had the conscience to never do this mistake in the first place. How could he not have it? After everything we went through how could he not have it?
The issue is he betrayed me once before. When he wasn’t drunk. He didn’t have the conscience to stop, until I called him out and he cried. Also saying something is wrong with him. I gave him another chance that time, and he’s never done it again. But then again I took away his chance to ever have to do it again. I don’t know if I could give another one. I don’t know how someone who can love me like this can also do this.

2024.05.14 22:18 commanderizer- Initial brainstorming for costume idea.
Hey there, I hope this meets the community standards, it's not directly FastLED related, but this might be the right group of people to bounce the idea off of! If this gets me on the right track of "this is the right library to use" and/or a bunch of people saying "you're in way over your head", that's more than enough!
I'm a programmer by trade, but I've never done anything with an arduino or LEDs. So this will be an absurdly over-scoped first foray into the hobby.
I have an idea for a wearable LED costume I'd like to bring to burning man this year (So I have until the end of August to build it!)
A simplified example - lets put an addressable LED on my head, each hand, one on the waist, and each foot. With me?
I'd then use a collection of accelerometers paired with those LED locations to measure their movement.
Already, we can do fun stuff like change color of each LED based on its speed.
Next, I want a button.
Clicking the button zeroes the current location of each of the accelerometers in memory. We'll call this location the datum.
Now I can calculate the distance each sensor has moved from the datum, and build this effect I am imagining that as I move further away from the datum, the LEDs change colors or fade out or something.
With me so far?
Now the more complicated example --
instead of only on addressable LED for each hand, foot, waist, and on my head, they are LED strips lining the outfit.
I do still have the 6 accelerometers, but the 'datum' is no longer just the 6 (x,y,z) locations, it's the "stick figure" representation of the lines between each sensor. And now we approximate the position of each LED as a line between the current positions of the accelerometers, and we measure the distance from that approximation to anywhere on the datum stick figure.
I'm not sure if this the exact algorithm I'd use, but hopefully I've described it well enough to get the idea across.
What do you think?
I know it's absolutely absurd in scope for a first LED project, but I am pretty solid on the math and programming involved in an abstract sense... I could do this in Unity or Blender for example... How it turns out in the real world is a different story!
Would this work?
Would you approach this differently?
What other features or cool effects would you build with this data?

2024.05.14 22:18 First_Possession_366 AITAH for telling my friend i don't want to hear about her other friend (she blocked me afterward)
i, 20f have been friends with this girl 20f for about 1.5 years and we work together. she made a new friend, a male(kind of irrelevant) within the past year and she's gotten immensely close with him since. that's not the problem.
the problem is that she always brings him up and she is constantly texting him while we are hanging out. i already talked to her in the past about her texting all the time while we are hanging out and she said she'd "try not to" but it's been months since then and nothing really has changed, if anything she's become even more attached to the guy.
now to give a little more backstory to their relationship, they are not dating, he literally told her that he will never love her romantically and apparently she's okay with that even after coming to me saying "will anyone ever love me" blah blah blah after he told her that. she says they're "companions". i have noticed things that don't seem healthy in their interesting relationship and i don't say much about it anymore since she spites everyone who talks bad about him.
back to present day, i ended up texting her about how frustrated i am when hanging out with her because i feel like i'm struggling to keep her attention and it doesn't really feel like we're hanging out. my frustration was focused on her behaviors, and i said that, but for some reason she took it as a personal attack to her friend and said that i need to stop correlating our issues to him even though i literally said that i could care less if it was him or anyone else, i just don't want to be a third wheel when he's not even there.
well, the conversation ended with her blocking me, my girlfriend, and another one of our coworkers (whom i get along with) on all social media and our numbers. the conversation didn't even "end" she just left me on read after my response to her accusing me of talking bad about him and her saying she's tired of being the one to invite me out(in which i do not invite her myself because i have not enjoyed her company). but yes she is the one who asks me to hang out every time btw. she left me on read and blocked everything.
this left me confused and angry because i honestly don't know what i did wrong, i just wanted to hang out with her and enjoy our time together, but she thinks i'm bashing her boyfriend/companion/30yroldman. i get angry thinking about it and the fact that i keep thinking about it makes me even more mad.
tldr; my (ex-)friend wouldn't stop talking about and texting her friend while we're hanging out and i got blocked because i brought it up

The Planet of Prospero has flourished since the end of the great crusade. Magnolia the Red, after serving on the golden throne until the completion of the web way project she returned to her home. The sun beat down upon the paradise world, it was a beautiful day and Magnolia was teaching her people responsible psychic practices. Her Starlight watching from a far with a bottle of wine in hand.
Magnolia: That will be all for today, review your biomancy for tomorrow’s lesson.
She approached her Starlight
Magnolia: A new gift from Ahriman?
Starlight: He says it’s the best batch yet.
Magnolia: He says that everytime.
Starlight: chuckles. well he is passionate about his craft. There’s something to be admired about that.
They walked down the promenade, returning to their palace. It was too nice of a day to stay inside. A nice day for reading in the garden, their time during the crusade saw an expansion of Magnolia’s collection.
Magnolia: hmm. This truly is Ahriman’s best work.
Starlight: Agreed.
Magnolia held her starlight’s hand
Magnolia: All that time on the golden throne…All I could see was the Empyrean, the only thing I could do was focus… But every so often I could sense you in the room. I could hear your stories of our sons. Thank you, for spending so much time with me.
Starlight: I came whenever I could. The Scholastica Psykana kept me busy. When I tried to connect with you I felt I would be crushed under the weight of it all. But I…I needed to feel you again. Just once.
Magnolia: You shouldn’t have, I would rather you intact instead of a jibbering madman.
Starlight: It was worth it.
It was another day for rejoicing, for enjoying each other’s company. Good wine and reading material, her starlight by her side, and the warmth of her home world. Magnolia couldn’t ask for anything more, but the great work was never done. Someday they will go forth and conquer the furthest star. But today? Today was for admiring her own great work and enjoying hard won peace. And her Starlight.

2024.05.14 22:17 Potatoskewer22 24[M4F] UK/Online - Searching for the "one" isn't easy or quick but hey! Patience is a virtue or..... something like that
You know what they say, if at first you don't succeed....... something or another (P.S. pictures of me on my profile)
Searching for the "one" isnt easy, but what can we do aye? First things first, to throw some random bits of info out there about me! (Info dump incoming 😂)
I'm 24 and biracial! Half Irish and half African/northern Indian, and I'm living in the UK!
I'm approximately 6'0"-6'1" in height and id say an average/kept build. I also have somewhat long-ish hair for a guy, going near my shoulders, it's naturally straight! I also have a well kept somewhat shorter and neat beard :) I also have very fair skin. I guess I took physically more from one side of my heritage 😂🤌 I'm also a Muslim lad! So just putting that out there too for the sake of it.
I do enjoy binging on junk food but between my high metabolism and my physically active job working as an electrician (which I'm trying to fully establish myself in) I tend to never put any weight on 🤷
So! What am I looking for? Well it's a long shot. I'd like to imagine something like the female version of myself. My other half. Someone I find attractive, kind, easy going, fun to get along with, can hold a conversation without making it feel like a one sided effort and chore. Etc!
Important note!!!
IF you are not from the UK. Be aware relocating doesn't appear to be an option for me currently 😅 so bear that in mind please. I am open to a potential long distance but again. There's that.
I guess I'm the hopeless romantic type. Fantasising about soulmates, something real, serious, natural and everything great. Is that easy to obtain these days? Bruh. HECK no 😭 but can a guy try? Well, here's to hoping I suppose. Guess only time will tell
Anyone between the ages of 20-27 is welcome! Anyone who wants to actually get to know each other and dreams about something sincere and real! (With some fun stupidity and jokes thrown in there of course, that banter is a must🗿👍)
I like a woman with a little bit of confidence ya know? Probably one of the most attractive personality traits, who can hold a conversation and engage with the other person you know? Nothing more off putting than someone who gives single worded dead replies lol
Here's a bit more about me. My hobbies! my hobbies are various. I'd argue I'm an ambivert. Though my main hobbies lean towards something a little more introverted. You have hiking and the likes as well as going out with friends and driving around at night with them, but then you also have gaming which is a huge hobby of mine!! Well probably the thing I do most consistently 😭
So yeah! There's my shot being let out. I'd say I consider myself to be an honest and open book and would like someone who is open, honest and sincere in the same way!
Oh! And my preferred platform is Snap (:
So. Here's to hoping!
