26f Listen I’m no expert or saint. I believe I’m a good person who has a lot of work to do. I’m currently going through a metamorphosis- accepting and forgiving my past self and being serious about working on myself so I don’t repeat my mistakes. This is how I’m doing it:
I downloaded this app called Finch. It’s an interactive self care app that is mostly free (there’s a version you can pay for but the free version is pretty good). I highly recommend it, even if you’re just struggling to get out of bed.
Research your attachment style. I bought two books on anxious attachment because that’s what I have and even though I already knew I had that, it really opened my eyes and made my behaviours more clear to me. If you are curious about these books please ask.
Literally just taking it one day at a time, getting out of bed, going to work, staying busy, being around good people and friends, having small goals I can achieve each day.
Journaling- sounds simple but I’ve always avoided it. All my counselors were right it does help lol. One thing that was hard for me to do was write down the situations or instances that would trigger me splitting. It’s hard to acknowledge your wrong doings and take accountability. It’s scary to admit you weren’t a good person at times. But writing out your wrong doings helps. Yes, some instances I felt valid in being angry because of how someone else mistreated me - but even then writing it down helps me understand what’s really in my control and what’s not in my control. Affirming to myself that I CAN CHANGE. I can do better. I CAN BE IN CONTROL OF MY EMOTIONS!
Completing reflection exercises such as what I’m grateful for.
Taking my vitamins.
Respecting my boundaries. Not being too available to the opposite sex.
Taking time to myself. Being out in nature. Not expecting anyone to save me. Not jumping into a new intense relationship (sounds easy). This also includes accepting that certain dynamics and situations don’t bring out the best in me and to avoid those people or circumstances - for example, it took me 3 long distant relationships to learn that long distant relationships don’t bring out the best in me. At least not right now when I need to heal.
No casual sex!!!
Making new friends. I use bumble bff. And I accept any new friends from this sub even if u need someone to talk or vent to.
LISTENING AND ACCEPTING the boundaries other people have.
Again I’m no saint. I’m a work in progress. I hope this helps some people. I would love to hear about what works for you!
With peace and love 💗

I am currently in the USA. MS CS at GSU, and it has been 9 months. If you are already in the USA, you can skip to the last paragraph. If not you I suggest you read from the beginning.
I have seen a lot of students posting things, like, I just finished my +2, bachelors, and I want to go to USA. Kun consultancy jaam, yo kasari garam, tyo kasari garam, in reddit and in facebook, and I reply to a lot of students in the facebook.
From my experience, USA apply garna ra aauna ko lagi consultancy ko help chaidaina. 2-3 ta kura ma guide garne senior vayo vane sabai le self apply garna sakxa jasto lagxa. Masters ra Phd ma aaune le ta consultancy gako maile thaha payekai xaina, even +2 paxi aune haru le pani thorai research ra thorai guidance payo vane afai apply garera aauna sakxa. I have had this thought of creating a website that provides all the helpful materials to the students who are trying to prepare for the USA. It will have things like:
1) gre/ielts/toefl.. study materials
2) lor and sop samples.
3) A tool that could help them short list the universities.
4) Interview experience of others.
5) Tutorial videos on variety of things, like, how to fill out the college application, how to approach the professors for assistantships/scholarships, and things as such.
I have already started working on it myself and have got the first feature work perfectly. The users can share the study materials with each other. My concern is, is this idea really applicable? It concerns me, because I have seen a lot of students who dont want to take any responsibility themselves, and strictly seek consultancy's advice. If this website becomes live someday with all the features that I have mentioned, will you, as a student accept it instead of going to consultancy? What do you think of this concept?
My other concern is, to implement 3rd feature (i.e to create a tool that could help the students short list the universities). It will require a lot of data. Those students who are already in the USA, how possible is it for them to give the data (no personal data). The data it requires is, what you studied in Nepal, what were your test scores, what universities you got accepted into, for what courses, and do you have any scholarship there? I am not doing this for any profit and if I create the website, its services will be free of use for all. If you are already in the USA I need your thoughts on this.

I ‘25/F’ have been dating my boyfriend ‘27/M’ for a little over 3 years. We currently live together and I pay most of the expenses since I make more than him currently. (I make around 78,000 a yr while he makes a 15 an hour which would end up being a little over $26,000 a year). He has been working at a coffee shop which he enjoys most of the time since he lost his job 6 months ago. We split the rent 50/50 but I cover all other expenses groceries, trips, etc. he just got offered a job in a career that is he got his masters degree in. The problem is the job is across the country and they offered him a little less than what he was hoping for. This job offer $23 an hour with paid overtime and benefits. Currently at the coffee shop he makes $1100 (including tips and taxes taken out) every pay period and no benefits or pto. I work in a career field where I could most likely easily find a job wherever I go and am kind of excited to move as this place seems like a great city to live in. Not to mention a we would get a financial relief. We have talked about me staying where I am for the time being until he gets more settled in to the new place and is sure he likes the job and his employers like him before I move too.
I thought he would be really excited about the job offer but now he is thinking about not taking it. He is worried he won’t like the job and would be sad to move out of our luxury apartment to live on his own for a little bit. He also brought up being sad to leave the community he has at the coffee shop and really enjoys his flexible schedule here. He is also worried about the pay being to low from his recent job offer. He has been really depressed lately because he has been denied from several places he has applied to over the past 6 months. So I am really worried he will regret not taking this job if he doesn’t get another job offer soon. And was hopeful a new job would bring him better spirits and overall make him happier.
I have advised him to take the job offer and to continue to look for jobs and take interviews and if he finds something better to just decline the offer close to his start date or leave the job if he has already started. I think it’s a great opportunity to at least get his foot in the door and gain experience in the industry he got 2 degrees in. If he really doesn’t like it he can move back in with me and most likely get his job back at the coffee shop as they really like him there. However he is still saying he is really on the fence about it and isn’t sure if he will accept the offer as he isn’t sure he wants to go back to a desk job.
Is it ok for me to bring up our salary differences now? I feel like I spend a lot of my money on him and I am usually happy to do so as it ensures I get to live the lifestyle I want with the person I love! However with the thought of him making more I did get really excited thinking we would split things a little more evenly and I’d have some money to spend on myself to maybe update my wardrobe, finish paying off my car, and pay for a pottery class etc. I used to only spend about $80-$100 on groceries before I met him but now I pay around $350-$400 a week in groceries alone as he really eats a lot and only like organic, free range, high quality ingredients. I really wonder if I wasn’t paying so much if he would be more willing to take the job. I also don’t want to push him to take a job if he really doesn’t want it. I don’t think you should solely take a job just because you would make more money but I do think whether he takes or declines the job it will affect our relationship. Am I being to materialistic in waiting him to take this job?

I wanna see how you prepped your pet.
I got a papillon who is for emotional support (tbh she's my child). She has a carrier she's trained to be in. It looks like a hand bag and we have used it to sneak her into hotels. The bottom zips out to hold some pee pads, dog treats, bully sticks, and her beloved "ducky" toy with some room to spare. Clipped to the side are poop bags with a holder (to hold the bag and poop.) She has side pockets on her carrier to fit napkins/paper towels, plus a bunch of room to spare. The bottom could fit for some dry food, but she struggles eating it because of her size.
I have a folder with my own stuff of her papers, vet records, ect.
She mostly eats canned food. But in an emergency, idk what to do. One can lasts basically 3 meals and with no way to refrigerate it.... She would get some of my water. My first aid kit contains stuff for her as well.
For bug in situations, I got a few baby gates as well as an x pen to keep her contained if needed. I keep her food well stocked as well as extra pads, chews, and toys.
Saving up for a crash tested crate like ruffland or something. But she dies have a cheap crate from petco.
What do yall do?

Hello. I'm a 23 year old male student who’s on the cusp of graduation. However, for almost the entire semester I've had testicular discomfort after having an injury to the groin. This started in February when I went to the urologist and was given an ultrasound and physical examination. Both of those showed no issues. During this time, pain was a 0-3 out of ten, with the constant feeling that things were loose and free roaming inside the sac, like holding egg yolks in your hand. The urologist then said it was probably just pelvic floor issues and to see a Physical Therapist.
I started physical therapy in March. I did see some slow improvement that had me optimistic, but I ended up causing more discomfort and more pain when I tried to lay on my side a couple of times. This, plus some accidental hits when trying to put clothes on in the morning, eventually led to a near constant 7 out of 10, even with medication like Tylenol and Advil. I was also put on Lexapro due to the anxiety it was causing. My follow-up appointments in March and April with the urologist all didn't show anything that concerned the urologist.
The only thing that really made that go away was some neck and back discomfort that led to numbness in the groin. However, that numbness has been slowly increasing over time, especially if there is a crack or pop in my lower back or my neck. I once again had some improvement, but for the past two weeks, things seem to have stalled or even reversed. I have very limited movement when walking because the testicles keep getting pulled to the roof of the pelvic area or to where the legs and pelvis meet and then they keep trying to get pulled further. This has led to occasional spasms down there, as well as getting them squished between the thighs, feeling them getting squished while shrinking, as well as frequent popping feelings on the testis and on the chord. It means that having to go to the restroom may make it worse but I'm not sure. Physical therapy exercises either trigger this reaction or only temporarily relax things for at most a few minutes. Hot baths and showers don’t cause any relaxation down there. They also don't relax all the way down like they used to.
My parents, who I’ll be living with while I try to find my own place, think that this is all or partly psychosomatic at this point. And while I am willing to look into it, I worry that the most recent evolution of the discomfort is causing something serious to the area. I really don't know what to do for my care at this point.

I am F24, he is M27
It's been exactly 1 week since we broke up. I'll explain the process of the break up and then the relationship.
If this is you, my yeot, reading this, please don't.
Though we have brought up the idea of breaking up many times, this is the only time we have walked through with it. 5 weeks ago, after a hard day, after a long talk of wanting some things changed, it ended with him saying we're not compatible and should break up. I begged him to stay. After a few days we agreed to go on a 3 week break instead, to think things through, re-evaluate, give the relationship the best shot, as he would say. In the 3 weeks, we still contacted, I even went to see his family in another state, he met up with my dad as well. Then we went NC for 9 days, and we met up for the final discussion. We discussed all the things that could change. But in the end, his gut feeling told him to break it off. I could see his denial, I could feel mine. But then that was it, the end. I had told him it didn't feel like the last goodbye, he told me it wasn't...but how could it not be, if we're breaking up?
After a few days of that break up, a friend of mine told me a possible episode of emotional cheating from his part. I called and confronted him. I only want to remember him by the good memories, I wanted to hear his side of the story. He denied it. Said that there would be no use in lying anyways, I feel like deep down, when that supposed event occurred, he was still too deeply in love with me to have done anything like that. He told me that when he was with me then he was very satisfied and happy. He then thanked me for helping him out of his dark times and for making him a better person. I thanked him for breaking up with me, because in the end this is a lesson I needed to learn. I told him that if we're meant to be, our paths will merge again. He said that his mum said the same. We bid our goodbyes and that was it.
So the relationship.
I met him after I had broken up with my previous ex, then we became friends. Our chemistry was amazing, there was never an awkward moment together. He was going through a very hard time with depression and bad thoughts. In his words, I had saved him. We continued to be friends and our hands seemed to long for each other, but we denied it at first. We even made a marriage pact, because we said deep down it felt like we're meant to be. Then after some time we started to, I guess we get into a situationship. He desperately wanted more, asked me out everyday for a month, until by luck we started dating. By luck because he made a bet with me, if our golf balls from the dispenser came out the same colour, I would be his girlfriend. I thought it would be fun and agreed. When the balls came out pink, he screamed and jumped up and down.
We went on so many adventures, so many nights spent up late together. We would tell each other that we have the rest of our lives together, that we needn't rush a thing.
Then life started throwing difficulties at us. 1st one, his friends disagreed with us. Said that it was either me or them. He chose me. 2nd His best friend had potentially landed him in jail due to possible fraud, he loses a lot of money. We get over that. 3rd my mental health deteriorated due to familial issues. He helped me, let me into his house and looked after me. I stayed there for 6 months until he had to focus on his final medical exam. 4th and biggest hurdle, during that stay his ex contacted me, as a girl. She was someone he met online and was in a relationship with for 1 year. They have never met. Exposed me to a side of him I never knew existed. Told me he had cheated on her with me. Told me that he had a long history of cheating. That was one of the hardest night of my life. I screamed and cried. He denied it at first until he couldn't anymore. He desperately wanted to run away from that part of his life. I decided to stay. I loved him too much to not. I still do. We then tried for the next year to mend the relationship from that, build the trust back. It was horrible. She then contacted me again, claiming that he had cheated on me with his ex when he went back interstate to visit his family, said that she had proof, but would never give me any proof. She had an ulterior motive of having me check is he had deleted her nudes. That once again broke my heart. Still I chose to stay, her words didn't seem sincere, it also didn't make sense.
He decided to stay in the state I live in hopes that when I graduate we would move to his. It was a hard decision for him since he so frequently feels homesick.
Over time, I finally for the first time in my life, felt ok. I stopped yearning for death. He helped me see the beauty in the world, and the beauty of being alive. Hope for the future.
Then came the next year of the relationship. He starts working. Very long hours ranging from 12 to 16. This was hard. He also had to work rural for 3 months, twice. I wanted more of his time, time he couldn't give me. I wanted more of his attention, attention he couldn't give me. We fought almost weekly. Reaching the first of his proposed break up, that it wasn't working. After a few hours of talking, he said he wanted to try still. This was 6 months before now. We tried out best, to work it out. But this is where we are now.
I had many wrongs in the relationship. I had not been supportive. I was not considerate. But also, I do believe we really are, at this moment anyway, not compatible. Too immature, too volatile, too scared, too insecure. I had made him feel insecure by trying to leave many times at the start. He had made me feel insecure with his words and the few times he had tried to break up.
We both agreed that what we had was special.
Maybe after some time apart, our relationship can rest and start from a new beginning. Maybe we’ll be more mature, better, maybe we’ll both decide to fully commit to each other. Sadly, we may also never meet again. That idea makes me want to puke. I hope that in another world the forever we talked about happens.
I feel sick thinking about a forever without him. I can only wish that we are meant to be and that we will be again.
I want to contact him. I know I shouldn't.
Does anyone have any advice, insight, experience, or opinions? Please share with me.

(I am SO sorry for the needed lengthy) Back Story & Context Leading To My Decision:
I (33F) have 1 sibling, “Sam” (36F). Although we share the same parents, our childhood & the way we were treated was incredibly different. Mainly because Sam had always been favored & treated far better than me. A fact that Sam refuses to acknowledge to this day.
Before & after my parents got married, it was agreed upon that they would not have children, until one day my mother “Susan” (66F) came up with the bright idea that if she gave her parents (“Norma & Gene”) a grand-baby they would finally love her. She went off the pill without telling my father, got pregnant, then had Sam. To no one’s surprise, Susan hated being a mom. So she would ship Sam across the country to Norma & Gene’s constantly, so much so, they saw her as THEIR child. And they showered her with love that Susan never even got a taste of. This led to Susan being aggressively jealous & resentful of her child.
Years later, my dad was tricked again into having me to “save their marriage.” They divorced when I was 3. All Sam ever knew from Susan was neglect, emotional & mental abuse from Susan, which only became worse when she could use “favoring” me as another way to hurt Sam. This was NOT a secret in my family, resulting in maltreatment towards me (either subconsciously or intentionally).
Abuse toward Sam turned physical. My father was given full custody of her when I was 8, and I was left with Susan for the next 2 years until she decided she wanted to move to San Francisco because she “deserved” a more glamorous life. I do not remember the years living with Susan, but recently one of my closest friends (of 25 years) said to me I practically lived at her house & she barely interacted with Susan throughout the entirety of our friendship.
To make up for Susan being an awful parent, Norma & Gene would dote on Sam & shell out a lot of $$$ to give her a very nice life (let me know if you want me to give a list of examples in an update), compare this to me when I barley received a kind word. They offered me money ONCE in my early 20’s to pay off my credit card debt I accrued in college as I had to pay all my own bills while working full time (I have been working since I was 15) and going to school full time. I am the only one in the family who worked in college, yet I am still the only one to graduate with honors. I accepted with the condition it would come out of my “inheritance.” I have never asked or been offered money since. I have paid for ALL my own bills since I left home @ 18 years old.
Despite the obvious disparities and constant hurt they put me through, I was an active member of the family who mainly kept her mouth shut. I attended family events unless I could not afford to go, I sent holiday gifts, called between 1-2x per month for an 1 hour+ phone call in which I most often bit my tongue unless it was to defend Sam as Norma did not agree with her parenting.
Something to note, in May 2021 my father had an accident that would lead to his passing in December 2021. The disagreements & Sam’s nastiness toward me after the accident and then his death further strained our relationship.
Fast forward to March 2023. An explosive incident at Susan’s home in front of me she screamed at my sister to the point of Sam sobbing in ear shot of her 3 young kids, husband, and my step father resulted in me cutting ties with Susan for good. To be fair, she screamed in my face “I don’t want a relationship with you” with Sam as a witness. I made the family aware of my decision, and everyone, including Norma agreed to respect my decision.
By August 2023, my physical health that had been on a rapid decline since 2019 including 18 out of 23 (78%) of my spinal discs deteriorating without a known cause had become unbearable to manage + time I had to take off because of migraines & doctor’s appointments, I had to quit my corporate desk job. I had enough money saved to tide me over for some time, but as any US adult in their 20’s & 30’s know, it’s been rough the past few years, add in physical disabilities & limited mobility + regular migraines, I was running low on money & needed help. So at the end of December, at the encouragement & insistence of my aunt Elizabeth (Susan’s sister) who I had become quite close with over the past few years, I went to Norma & Gene to ask for a LOAN. They had donated $25,000 to Sam’s place of worship on her behalf a few months prior, offered to buy Sam & her husband a house the year prior, paid for Elizabeth’s bills & expensive lifestyle for the last year when she was soul searching on what line of work she wanted to do next, this was after putting a down payment on Elizabeth’s new $470,000 condo + $70,000 of renovations it needed, not to mention the literal hundreds of thousands of dollars that they have given Susan over the years just to pay off her credit card debt (none of which is coming out of their inheritance might I add) she assured me they would absolutely loan their granddaughter with serious health issues money. Elizabeth would talk to them personally about it, just to seal the deal while Sam would help me find cheaper alternatives to my current necessities such as Medicaid.
I make the request, and to my surprise they are more than happy to help me with a loan. But one week later & their phone calls with Susan, they say by email they “love me but cannot continue to financially support my poor decisions.” I call Elizabeth who says, it was not in her best interest to talk to them about helping me as I am “worthless to this family and society while being disabled.” Then adds that she will not let her “mental health deteriorate just to emotionally support me.” I then immediately reach out to Sam who does not even have the guts to talk by phone only text, and says she called Susan to explain my circumstance but “wasn’t going to argue or pick a fight” to help me and that she is sorry that that she “can't show up for me the way I want her to because she needs to maintain her own mental health, relationships and boundaries.” She also threw in that I have “made up this narrative in my head” that they treat her & I different, that she is treated better.
That day I fully cut contact with Norma, Gene, and Elizabeth. I told them they will not be hearing from me again, and I will not be attending theirs or Susan’s funeral. And I stopped speaking with Sam for the time being. Ironically, what led us to speaking was last month (April 20224) I had begun working on an article about going No Contact with family members. I asked if I could discuss her childhood abuse in a few sentences as part of the article. She agreed and offered to give me quotes. I accepted then interviewed her. From there we began rebuilding our relationship.
Then last Wednesday, (May 8), Norma passes. I do not attend the funeral that happened on Friday, May 10. My two cousins who I have become very close with in the last 6 months understood why, and supported my decision. But even though I did not go, I continually checked in with them & Sam to ensure they were okay. Not once from Wednesday to yesterday (Tuesday) did Sam reply to a single message. As I am concerned about this, I reached out yesterday morning. She replied in the afternoon. I was incredibly hurt by her very lengthy message. Here are 2 excerpts that led me to full NC.

1. “Your perspective on the situation was clear, you werent coming to be with the family and you arent grieving [Norma’s] death at least in the conventional sense. I had to be the one to answer from most of the family why you werent there, it was incredibly awkward and uncomfortable for me.”
2. “Since late January/Early February things have already been really strained between us. I know that most that comes from my point of view and actions were really hurtful to you. I hate that I hurt you and Its been difficult for me to reconcile that I can't show up for you the way you want me to while also maintaining my own mental health, relationships and boundaries.”

She continually says that she cannot show up for me the way I need without affecting her mental health or crossing boundaries, and I am not someone that would ever want to hinder someone else’s life by my presence or cause inner turmoil by associating with me. I let her know this and said I will stop trying to cultivate a relationship and I will step away for good. I said it as kind as possible, taking an hour to craft a message that can only be seen as kind. I told her if she responds I will not be reading it.
I work very hard to stay positive as it’s just me to lean on. When there is something eating at me emotionally, it will drain my energy & have me spiral until it is resolved. I did not want to waste another week feeling hurt. But with that said, AITA for cutting ties at this time & not waiting?

See here my previous message from a couple months ago. I was inquiring if a Google TV would be enough to handle Plex videos, 4K videos, etc. https://www.reddit.com/ShieldAndroidTV/comments/1airul7/tcl_qm8_cpu_cortex_a73x4_13ghz_google_tv_vs/

• 75" U8N for the living room.
• 65" U8N for the loft.
• 65" U8N for the bedroom.

 
With the brand new 2024 Hisense models already on sale for $1,049 for the 65" and $1,499 for the 75", I'm happy! I paid roughly the same back in 2017 for Samsung 65" MU8000 ($975) and an eye watering $2,300 for the 75" Samsung MU9000. I was using the Samsung TVs with the 2019 NVIDIA Shield Pro.
 
I upgraded because I was using the NVIDIA Shield. I need Google TV / Android TV for my IPTV provider. I got really annoyed with the NVIDIA Shield and having to switch inputs to bounce back and forth between live TV and my Android TV. Many times the NVIDIA Shield would have issues. I'd have to unplug it, let it sit, plug it back in. What was the final nail in the coffin was when I switched inputs from my NVIDIA Shield to Live TV, and then I tried to go back to the NVIDIA Shield, it sat DEAD for hours. I tried rebooting it. Unplugged it. Nothing. I could not get it to boot. This has happened before. It's not the first time. I have to let it sit for a few hours and when I plug it back in, the NVIDIA Shield turns back on. And no, this didn't happen on just 1 Shield. It has happened on every Shield in my house more than once.
 
Everyone says "get an NVIDIA Shield. They are superior!" I don't care about the upscaling. Honestly, I can't tell a difference. If I turn the upscaling up to enhanced the video looks grainy to me. I don't know what everyone's beef with Google TV is. Everything I throw at the Hisense TV via Plex plays just fine. No transcoding happens and Dolby Atmos, True HD, etc. all the audio passes through just fine to my Hisense Dolby Atmos / DTS:X soundbar. When I play 4K .mkv files via Plex, I see "Dolby Atmos" scroll across the soundbar.
 
It is so nice to to be upgraded to a TV with Google TV baked in. 1 remote for everything now. No having to switch inputs, no changing remotes, no having the sound switch to TV audio and having to switch it back to soundbar audio, no having to unplug the Shield to troubleshoot, etc. I can control everything with my 1 Hisense TV remote, including my Hisense soundbar settings from within the Google TV as well.
 
Yes, the remote is upgraded for the 2024 Hisense U8N model. It has backlit buttons just like the NVIDIA Shield 2019 model. I love that feature!
 
And yes, before anyone asks, my new Hisense TVs play the new AV1 format.
 
I know you all are die-hard Shield fans. That's cool. I just wanted to share that Google TVs are more than capable of handling video / audio codecs nowadays for us "average users." Heck, the NVIDIA Shield 2019 Tube version STILL can't handle 4k video files without buffering LOL! When I hooked up my new Google TV, that was the first thing I checked. I wanted to make sure that 4k video files would play 100% fine via Plex unlike the 2019 NVIDIA Shield tube version.
 
Let me know if you have any questions.

Me (M17) and my gf(F17) have been together for 3 months almost and I love her so much I’ve had other girl friends but never this serious she means the world to me. But if someone told me the way she was b4 we met I wouldn’t have even considered talking to her
Ik she’s different now but she used to go out drink and smoke now I feel like I could get around that stuff bc a lot my friends do to but we live in a small town and ik the people she did that stuff with. She doesn’t hang with that crowd now and ik she doesn’t want to but she will tell me a story about it and it makes me uncomfortable. She has had sexual interaction with 4 of the guys and I know them well. I have been going to school them since elementary but they’re ass holes. I feel like I wouldn’t care if they was respectable guys but they aren’t. And she was never even in a relationship with them just drinking then fucking. Now when I found this out 2 weeks after dating I didn’t believe it like she’s so reserved around me we are only just know bring up sex.. hasn’t even happened yet which I am more than fine with but to me she’s a completely different girl then what these guys are telling me.
Idk why it bothers me sm that she sleep with these guys but to me sex it supposed to happen with someone special that you care about and she doesn’t or at least didn’t see it that way. Just a few months ago b4 I met her she was just like all the scum bags I hate and now there’s no one I love more than her. I feel like I have always lived by the philosophy that people don’t change but did she is she different now. Every time she tells me the things she used to do she says I’m different now bc of you.
I think she did all that stuff to fit in do stuff she knew she wasn’t supposed to like teenagers do but I was never like that so it hard to see why teens actually do it. Like I said I love her but it makes me feel sick to think about how she was and did she really change if so why.
TDLR: Do people actually change and why is the person people are telling about so different a month b4 we met than she is now.

Hi everyone, I recently completed my PADI Open Water course and I'd like to share my experience with you. I believe my instructor's behavior was inappropriate, but as a newcomer to scuba diving, I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter.
Before the course: I found a Dive Shop on Tripadvisor with over 200 5-star reviews, which seemed perfect for the Open Water Course. However, the website link wasn't functional, so I reached out to the company on Instagram. They requested to follow me, which I found a bit strange, but I went along with it. The owner (only instructor) and I communicated via WhatsApp to plan the days since I was traveling for the course. He messaged me frequently, which was a bit overwhelming, but I assumed it was to keep in touch since I hadn't made a deposit. He even started liking my Instagram Stories.
I confirmed with him twice that he would provide all the necessary equipment, including a wetsuit. The night before the course, he asked me out for a drink, which I politely declined. Despite feeling uncomfortable, I decided to proceed with the course, considering diving as a community activity.
Day 1: Upon arrival, I was informed that there was no wetsuit available for me that day, as he wanted to give me a "free" introduction in shallow waters level to gauge my comfort while him sharing his octopus (No Pool). Feeling uneasy in just a swimsuit, I reluctantly went along with it. At a depth of 6m, he positioned himself above me - imagine two planks, one on top of the other. I didn't have a wetsuit, and I could feel his parts rubbing against my buttocks, and believe he started to get hard. I honestly had no idea of what he was doing, if he was touching himself, or if it was normal, if i was overthinking. Anyways I started to panic, I was scared because it was my first time in deep water. I was alone with him, and he was controlling my air. I was breathing with his octopus and felt vulnerable. I just started to focus on my breathing. He started to massage my upper body. At this point I just froze. We finished and did some tricks.
Day 2: The next day, he again claimed to have forgotten the wetsuit, stating it wasn't good for my buoyancy. We started with the tricks and then, he claimed that we needed to control my buoyancy. He then proceeded to remove my gear and repeat the exercise from the previous day, with me sharing his air from his octopus while he remained on top of me. I honestly kinda froze and started to focus on my breathing once again. I began to panic once more, unsure if this was standard practice. His behavior escalated when we approached the shore, he started taking inappropriate photos of other women but in the water, further adding to my discomfort. At the end, he stated that someone would come along tomorrow to finish my 2 other dives. At this point I wanted to end the class, but told myself that there was only 1 day remaining and the fact that someone would be there I would feel more comfortable. I didn't knew if it was common practice for new divers (him being on top of me and me sharing his octopus)
Day 3:
He asked me a couple of questions in the car (about 5) and then informed me that was my written exam and there was no need to complete a formal exam; that I had passed. He then mentioned he didn't have a wetsuit for me, only a rash guard.
Then, another diver arrived for his refresher. He was quite old, and the instructor became rude to him. Honestly, I felt calmer knowing there would be someone else with us. We completed the 18m dive, and everything went fine. When we reached shore, the older diver asked if he could join us for the next planned dive (my 4th dive due in 30 minutes), but the instructor declined, stating that this dive would be a test for my class.
Once offshore, the older diver and I started talking, and I could sense the instructor's discomfort about our conversation. He seemed eager for the older diver to leave and began speaking negatively about him behind his back.
Then I began my fourth dive (my instructor said he would bring my BCD but arrived only with his). He repeated the exercise of being on top of me and me using his octopus, which confirmed to me that it was inappropriate. It was only my fourth dive, so I questioned why he didn't do the same exercise with the older man. I believe he wanted him to leave so he could act inappropriately towards me again. This is when i realized is was NOT ok. I felt scared but relieved it was my last dive I was afraid to decline that he would fail me or worst, remove my regulator) At the end, we surfaced, he grabbed my gear, we went back down, and I focused on the skills and enjoying my last dive (without him on top of me), while he was just taking photos.
It took me a few days to process everything. After doing some research, I came to the conclusion that his behavior was highly inappropriate. Not only was I knew nothing in diving, but he was also controlling my regulator (using his octopus), we were at depth, and he was positioned on top of me. I felt completely vulnerable and taken advantage of. Despite this, he certified me as a level 2 diver, but I honestly don't feel confident enough. What are your thoughts on this situation? Is it normal practice? What should I do? Have you ever reported a PADI ? TBH I feel kinda traumatized, I just wanted to learn to dive and I am left with this unpleasant memory.

I have a ram 2500 2012 diesel(bone stock). Essentially the title but to explain we gotta go back to 2 years ago. My transmission went, I wanted 800 hp on the truck at some point, so I upgraded, costed around $8k but I missed a thrust washer in between the pump and primary and it smoked itself within 50 miles, costed another 2k to fix what smoked. Well in doing so I got a valve body that needed a tune but the shop didn’t mess around with tunes so they recommended me to a different place. I towed the truck there, dropped it off, had them put the tune on everything worked fine and has ran amazing since. I made the dumb choice to add in a 5 dial engine tune that was supposed to be emissions intact but they messed up and put an emissionsless tune on, did my emissions and gave me my stickers. They then called 2 weeks later and said they messed up, well the truck ran amazing, felt like 100 or so more horsepower so I was very reluctant to take it back in and for various other reasons I decided not to. So I drove like that for a year and went to get it emissions tested and it said everything was “not supported” so obviously I took it back in to them and put the right tune on, However, they said the truck would not accept the tune as the check engine light was on for the egr. Now this is where it gets weird, I put on a trailer probably 6k pounds and went and burned it up a steep hill and the check engine turned off, for about a week. Took it back in that Monday night after they closed, dropped it, went home. Tuesday morning got a call that they still couldn’t get the truck to take the tune. The reason being that the vgt was throwing codes, I drive it home, buy a new turbo, stick it on, dropped it back off and the next morning again another call saying the truck wouldn’t take the tune. This time the reason being this now my nightmare of a code p2002. Now at this point I’m pretty skeptical about there work after looking into the cost of a new dpf and the fact that they could not answer any of my questions regarding what they actually tuned my truck with because they get there tunes from a place called starlight. Now it’s a reputable company and they make great tunes and alot of people use them but their customer service is only open on Wednesday from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm and that is it. So I take it into a diesel performance shop that is very reputable, which my dad has also been using for years, to diagnose the issue. Now this is where I am completely lost. The guy flashed my ecm with a stock, straight from dodge, tune and test drives it with his reader. Says EVERYTHING is running completely normal, all the numbers are normal, fuel rail, boost pressures, dpf sensors all read at normal levels at all times, regens just fine, dpf fills up and regens properly, they replaced the map sensor and the “ppm?” Sensor which reads back pressure?, etc All in all he kept it and test drove it for 2 weeks and tried everything he could think would cause this and the only thing he noticed was that the egr was not doing exactly what it should.
Now, the truck smokes ( not a lot but enough to see in the day) pretty consistently until under load. Essentially once the turbo kicks in it stops. He told me that the egr is 95% open at idle and takes a little longer to close than it should which I guess isn’t supposed to happen. He put a brand new egr on there and test drove it same thing, smoke whenever there is no boost, egr not doing what it’s supposed to. He then unplugs the egr entirely and guess what zero smoke… whatsoever… not even a puff.
Now after 2 years of cops and dmv lines and impound lots and countless hours googling everything I can find about similar issues, I’m completely lost on what to do now.
He recommends the dealer but he says he knows that they are just going to throw parts at it until it’s fixed. This is likely looking down the barrel of a 7-10k dollar shotgun. Just to find out it’s some dumb sensor or something I am not aware of.
So my questions are; What all in the computer makes the egr valve open? Has anyone dealt with this before? Or even something similar? What would you do in this case? Please ask whatever questions I will gladly answer or look into them.
Sorry if this novel is hard to read I didn’t pay attention much in school

Well Haters…
This is what I think and I don’t see anyone else having my same thought but let’s set this up.
If you can, do serious comments and let’s open a nice debate about this topic!
So, The best UWs are GT BH and SL no doubt!
4th UW = CF
Not anymore!
The thing is simple, Dying from Doritos/Nachos Vampire!!!
Nothing can stop them, especially in early and mid game, and Recently I figure out several things.
I guess that enemy speed depends on Tiers but in T-1 I completely take away Attack Speed Card cuz The Only Way to defeat Vampires is only by Thorns.
I died too many time cuz of them so I figure it out that to reach T-7 and maybe even T-8 milestone there is only one way to go for, which is Health Build.
Now there are two3 things to say, two about how to get massive health and one about why health is pretty useful anyway even in long term game.
1) DW!
not only gives a pretty nice advantage on coin boost especially during coins farm runs, but It gives a massive 7x times your base health, and that already helps way too much alone to get till T-4 at least, having 1k health Workshop and 2x lab health. So there is no doubt that health is the fastest way to get not only those damn milestone, but also to start farms in higher tiers, but that goes along also with a bit of damage.
2) WormHole Redirector!
To me There’s no way module better than this one to use not only for any kind of enemies but especially for Vampires. Even a 25% will get you through so many more waves that also with this module only, without DW also, it allows you to get through so many Tiers milestones, and even coin farm. The advantage to have it, it makes useful to also Upgrade Health Regen which secures so much your ability to have max “max recovery” at all time, and there is no doubt that having Health Regen that works on your full Health is a bad thing.
3) Walls!
DW and WR already gives you massive Health and Health Regen, but having massive Health gives so much potential To the Wall which is based on that. People have Trilions of Base health in late game only because it helps way too much, combining it also with Damage in late game of course, but only the Health could make you relax for a while even in the Higest Tiers.
health is way too important right now because of Vampires especially, and an Health Build is the fastest way to get those Early milestones, no doubt in this.
This also gives you chances to Farm pretty high Tiers and when you reach a cap, it is time to upgrade Damage!
This is where CL comes to help with, not only because of the insane multiplier it gets, but also because of the module it comes with.
1) CL!
At Lv 7 with only 161 stones it already gives 5 times the basic damage, up to Lv 30 where it gives over 60 times the basic damage, this is the first thing to take in consideration. After that at Lv 5 with only 220 stones it give a 10% of chance to spawn, which doesn’t seems much but considering that you might shoot 100 projectiles per second, you have basically 10 CL each seconds, not considering the number of bolts it shoots after a successful activation. Last but not least there are the number of bolts which max out to 5 with 655 stones which seems much but It’s pretty worth. So only with lv 7, lv 5 and 5 bolts, the damage increases a lot and it’s barely 900 stones which is not much for the massive damage output you’re throwing. You also should consider the 2x from Perks which double everything and having 5 Bolts that gets triggered 10 times each seconds dealing 19 times the damage you have currently it’s impressive I’d say, not considering that by maxing all of it you will have 30 activation in one sec, and 150 bolts each sec dealing not 60 but 120 times the actual damage you have, if you max everything out, it’s already an huge benefit to start to do some real damage.
2) Dimension Core!
Well, there is much to say but maybe there isn’t even much to say after all. With this module you have double the chance of activating CL and from everything I said above you have between 5x to 20x more damage. If this didn’t convince you yet I really don’t know what will.
After This Defense and this huge Offense, Only now, I would start to think to Slow enemies Down, especially Vampires, because you will have enough damage to take care of those for a while, and in case that isn’t enough, you have Trillions of health That Can Take care of it, Health that can hold Vampires for so long that damage will take it, or maybe that thorns will handle, and health that also gets back to max after a vampire dies.
CF is that important if you’re already struggling to get vampires down or as close as possible to the tower without also bringing every other enemy close enough to deal massive damage to you?
This is why the first 3 UWs are the one mentioned before, this is why 4th UW is DW, 5th UW is CL and finally 6th most important UW is CF!
I really want to see if someone still thinks that CF won’t just get worse the Vampire situation for those Early or even Mid players that are around Right Now With this Nachos/Doritos upgrade.
Current Version 23.4!
I’m waiting Everyone’s thoughts About this newBest UW’s setup!

Hello everyone!
I am a 24 YO male who has had issues with sobriety for the last 5 to 6 years, and am looking for some advice.
This line is for my sister, who encouraged me to post somewhere. Hello Louise (your middle name), I am here.
I wasn't always a drinker. I was very "ew" towards it growing up. I wasn't a pothead or a smoker in my teens, I was actually very against that. I thought cigarettes were nasty smelling and probably tasted as gross as the smelled (they do) and I have seen alcohol was the worst thing in someone's life. My dad was a very violent and abusive alcoholic/addict and it was told to me and my siblings our whole life.
My personal first encounter with a drug (weed) was in high school. I was 18 at the time, and I had always heard it was great, it wasn't that bad, its a gateway drug, the usual. I don't remember the exact day, but i remember the whole experience. It was personally awesome (NOT PROMOTING THE ACT OF SMOKING WEED I NO LONGER DO IT), and I smoked till I was 21, almost daily.
After I was 21, I had a trip to Oregon to get some weed (Its illegal where I live) with my brother, who was under age to buy some. He drove us, and I got 10 grams of cartages for the both of us. As we were driving back, we got pulled over and, long story short, they took the 10 grams of weed and left us with a warning. After this experience, I have never smoked weed since, but I was so used to being under the influence and couldn't sleep without being high or whatever, and went to alcohol. This is where it got really bad,
I drank about 5 beers a day. "That's not a lot, that' some weak stuff!" I drank 4 12 oz 12% cans and a 24 oz 8% can a day. Sometimes even twice a day, and those 12% cans TASTED AWFUL! Sometimes I would do this 2-3 times a day when I didn't work, and then once a day after work too, leading to doing this about 11 times a week just to sleep. After 7 months of doing this, I couldn't take it anymore. I was getting ill, I was feeling like crap, and my kidneys WERE LITERALLY VIBRATING! I needed help. I asked my roommate at the time for some advice, and we came up with some outpatient treatment. I called and we set it up, and I was super confused on why they kept telling me about beds and a room, till I was told at the end of the call it was inpatient. I agreed because I figured it was better than outpatient. On June 9 2022, I was admitted to my inpatient program. I have a journal for that experience, but I loved it there. I had such a good time, I loved everyone I met, and I graduated 28 days later.
After inpatient, I really didn't want to go outpatient, but was encouraged to. I hated it. I was there for about 2 months before I left. I wanted to try drinking again now that I wasn't relying on it for sleep. It was then that I realized I was an addict and I needed help, but I was unsure where I could go. I hated going to AA, I felt like a disappointment to my family, and I was having a hard time at work (not because of drinking again). I was falling apart, and I have been since. My roommate has moved out, and now I live alone. I am doing this shitty lifestyle and I can barely afford it, yet sometimes I need it. My insurance covered most of the inpatient bills, and all of the outpatient bills, and although my work has been super supportive of me and my "recovery", I don't have the heart to tell them I am a fucking loser who messed up just to end up fired.
I have been having some super strange withdrawals since I started drinking again in late 2022. The most memorable are inability to sleep, and something I looked up and discovered called a "Brain Zaps". I first had these a little before I turned 24, and before I stopped messing with hard alcohol. I've never had a seizure, but this feeling is ABSOLUTLY TERRIFYING when trying to sleep (the only time I get it). All would say my birthday in 2022 was my relapse, but I would disagree (on a personal level, not logical). I used it to sleep, and I was able to stop at least 1-2 weeks since. This next part was my version of a relapse,
See, I started drinking when thought I needed it to sleep. I needed to be intoxicated to get rest, and now that I no longer needed it (and if I did it always took 1-3 days of restless nights to get over), I drank to not be bored, to have more fun playing games, because I was alone. I was about a week sober by December 23rd 2023, and I was asked at work if I am stalking someone. I was shocked and confused, and I took that to heart. That night lit the fire, that night started the engine, that night brought it back. I wont get too much into myself, but trust me when I say I would never do that. I was mentally destroyed. Why was I being asked this, What did I do to deserve this? What the actual fuck?
I drank for over a month straight. I do not fuck with hard liquor anymore, it was just my 5 8% tall boys. or more, a day. I fell into a massive depression. Again not getting into it, but it ended up resolving, but I wasn't okay. I was never going to be working with the same person I was accused of doing suck a DISGUSTING action against, I had to leave the store (and I have just this week [of 5-15-24])
I have talked to my mom, and my sister, and I am not sure what else to do. I know i NEED to get out of my comfort zone and just do what I dont want to, but I know FOR A FACT AA is NOT FOR ME. I cant do it, I cannot handle sitting there and grasp the idea that nothing other than god can save me. I am an athiest, I do not believe in that stuff. I have been told your Higher Power can be a door knob, but I cant grasp that idea. Its not me. the 12 steps are not for me, and I know this for a fact. Maybe there's a chance I could be wrong, but I don't think so regarding this.
I am asking for some help. I don't know what to do beside just let it take my life before I take my own. I am not my dad, I am a nice and functional alcoholic, but I don't want to drink so much. At this point, I have seriously been thinking about suicide, just to stop myself being a menace to myself. I have asked for money to help with bills, but never for a high. I would rather suffer though withdrawals than ask for money for beealcohol, I am a nice (I think) guy who has issues.
I should include a TLDR, but I really don't know how to with this.
thank you for reading

Once again, my next post concerning the localized script of Cold Steel III. With this, I'll tackle the first part of Chapter 3. The points shown here are based on my sensibilities as to what lines cause issues for the dialogue, from being outright wrong to being awkward. My previous posts are listed below:

• Prologue: https://www.reddit.com/Falcom/s/iU44PytvbN
  
• Chapter 1: https://www.reddit.com/Falcom/s/cTjkFwRsAM
  
• Chapter 2 (1/2): https://www.reddit.com/Falcom/s/973QP55DqX
  
• Chapter 2 (2/2): https://www.reddit.com/Falcom/s/XrHBTWb0hr
  

Chapter 3

• 1:「I take it this means House Hyarms will be the only one of the Four Great Houses in attendance?」 / 「“四大”から当主が出席するのはそちらの家だけになりそうだな？」

The localization has Jusis word this an absolute. "当主" should refer to the actual head of the house. Jusis could've said: [I take it this means House Hyarms will be the only one of the Four Great Houses in with it's head attendance?]

• 2:「Every bit as tasty as the pancakes Tilly and I had earlier.」 / 「この前アーちゃんと食べたパンケーキに負けてないかなぁ。」

The phrasing choice of "earlier" in the localization makes this reference to a moment in Chapter 1, pretty much two months ago, strange. It feels like way too much like a direct translation of "この前," without the context. Millium could've said: [Every bit as tasty as the pancakes Tilly and I had (anything that'd make more sense) before/in Leeves/a couple months ago.]

• 3:「I figured Nidhoggr would be good, but the other guys are no slouches themselves.」 / 「“竜”も“連中”も悪くない。」

Random moment in the localization where refering to the jaeger corp in question as just "the dragons"/"竜" is omitted. There were no issues in any other instance. Shirley could've said: [I figured the dragons would be good, but the other guys are no slouches themselves.]

• 4:「The dragon lost its head, and as for the other group, well...」 / 「“竜”は頭が変わり、“彼ら”の方といえば──」

The original has it as "changed"/"変わり," not outright lost. Gareth could've said: [The dragon changed its head, and as for the other group, well...]

• 5:「We've got two of the strongest jaeger corps--the dragons and these jaegers in purple--battling it out...」 / 「──最強の猟兵団２つに“竜”たち、そして紫の一団……」

The localization phrases this in a different way than it should. It's denoted that "the dragons and these jaegers in purple" are emphasized as the "two strongest jager corps"; however, the original is listing the four in the scene. Sara could've said: [We've got two of the strongest jaeger corps--Zephyr and the Red Constelation--the dragons and these jaegers in purple, battling it out.]

• 6:「What's this big conference thing about?」 / 「『領邦会議』って何なの？」

The localization changes the clear question about the actual term she read about, just to make it sillier. Besides the fact that it even chooses to swap "council" for "conference." Juna could've said: [What's this Provincial Council thing about?]

• 7:「One time, some bandits captured me and held me in a stone prison...」 / 「とある小国では、山賊に捕まり一週間も岩牢へぶち込まれた事があったのお……」

The localization omits the time held captive, "one week"/"一週間." Old Man Rod could've said: [One time, some bandits captured me and held me in a stone prison for a whole week...]

• 8:「Speaking of which, was the Azure Knight ever retrieved?」 / 「そういえば《蒼の騎神》は軍に回収されたのよね？」

「I heard that they sealed it up so that the Noble Alliance wouldn't get their hands on it.」 / 「貴族勢力に使われないよう厳重に封印したって聞いたけど……」
Very weird way to phrase this line by the localization. Especially considering that it is also said "they sealed it" in the next line. The original already mentions the "military"/"軍." Celine could've said: [Speaking of which, was/wasn't the Azure Knight ever retrieved by the military?]

• 9:「Mastering this form is more difficult than any other. I do not know if you are even capable of such a feat, yet...」 / 「その極みは他の型よりも遠く、おぬしが“理”に至れるかは分からぬが……」

The localization lumps the meaning of reaching the "pinnacle" or "heights"/"極み" and "enlightenment"/"理" to be the same thing as "mastering"/"奥伝" the 7th form. That's simply wrong. Yun Ka-Fai's letter could've said: [Reaching the pinnacle of this form is more difficult than any other. I do not know if you are even capable of attaining "enlightenment", yet...]

• 10:「Not to mention, I can't imagine you'd need a third. Not at this point in your relationship, anyway♡.」 / 「それにせっかくの２人きりの機会……水を差すのは野暮というものですし♡」

The localization adds what I assume is meant to be a "threesome" joke. Sharon could've said: [Not to mention, I can't imagine you'd like me to intrude on your private time♡]

• 11:「My school and the cathedral are in the same district, in case you were wondering.」 / 「何しろ、女学院と大聖堂は同じサンクト地区にありますしね。」

The localization saw fit to omit the specifications of the district. Elise could've said: [My school/St. Astraia/the Girl's School and the cathedral are both in the Sankt District, in case you were wondering.]

• 12:「(Yes, I have. When I was accompanying the inspection team in Crossbell, I did some studying there.)」 / 「（ええ、ですがクロスベルの視察団に同行するのにあたって一通り勉強しましたから。）」

Actually, it's completely wrong. When questioned, by Rean, that she's never been to Armorica Village before, she's not supposed to have "studied in the village." Elise should've said: [Yes, I haven't. However, when I was accompanying the inspection team in Crossbell, I did some studying/read all *about it.]

• 13:「We have the Goddess of the Sky, but they worship something else.」 / 「彼らは空の女神と同じくらい大切にしているものがあるんだ。」

「What is it that the Nord people worship?」 / 「ノルドの民が、空の女神と同じくらい大切にしているものは？」
There isn't supposed to be a comparison that reads as if the Nord people worship "something else" instead of Aidios. Rean could've said: [They also have the Goddess of the Sky, but they worship something else equally.]

• 14:「He knows a lot about cooking, and he tells me all about the academy. Teehee, he's so helpful.」 / 「お料理も詳しいし、学院の事情なんかも教えてくださるの。ふふ、助かっているわ。」

「With such an amazing faculty member, Thors must really be an excellent school.」 / 「あんなに優秀な職員さんが いるなんて、トールズってやっぱり名門校なのねぇ。」
「Hahaha...(That doesn't quite seem like Celestin, but...)」 / 「ははは……（セレスタンさんはちょっと特別な気もするが……）」
The localization got this one completely wrong. How is describing Celestin as "knowledgeable about cooking" and "helpful" not like him? That response makes no sense. First, the second line should read more generalizing the compliments to the whole staff; Cattleya could've said: [With such an amazing faculty member/members Thors must really be an excellent school.] Second, the meaning is that "Celestin is a unique case among the faculty" (in regards to being so amazing.) Rean could've said: [Hahaha... (That doesn't quite seem like anyone but Celestin...)]

• 15:「Huh...? (Wait, is someone outside...?)」 / 「ふむ……（そういえば部屋の外に……）」

The localization also got this one wrong. The Japanese don't come across as completely unaware. The assumption of this scene is that to Wayne is standing outside the training hall. Rean could've said: [Huh...? (Wait, the one outside would be...)]

• 16:「She also said she apprenticed under a female martial artist and traveled around Erebonia...」 / 「外国人の女性武術家に弟子入りして、半年も帝国を放浪していたなんて話も聞きましたが……」

The localization omits the time spent traveling, "半年." Rean could've said: [She also said she apprenticed under a female martial artist and traveled around Erebonia for six months...]

• 17:「Yeah, thanks to this pendant Emma made me.」 / 「ああ……エマの魔力が込められこのペンダントの力を借りてだが。」

The localization simplifies the explanation. Rean could've said: [Yeah, thanks to this pendant Emma imbued with her magic.)

• 18:「A monster? Wait, that's a cryptid!」 / 「魔獣──いや、魔物のたぐいか！？」

「What a nightmarish beast that cryptid was...」 / 「はぁ、まさかあんな恐ろしい魔物がいるなんて……」
The localization mistranslated "fiend"/"魔物" for "cryptid"/"幻獣." Kurt could've said: [A monster? Wait that's some kind of fiend!] Musse could've said: [What a nightmarish beast that fiend was...]

• 19:「After paying a visit to Professor Schmidt, Rean walked George to the station, where his train back to Roer was waiting.」 / 「シュミット博士に一言挨拶を済ませた後、北東のルーレに向かうジョルジュを駅まで見送ることにしたのだった。」

The localization removes the direction of the city. The narration could've said: [After paying a visit to Professor Schmidt, Rean walked George to the station, where his train back to Roer, in the northeast, was waiting.]

• 20:「I considered making a last stand there, but news of the Northern War reached me.」 / 「１年は抵抗してやろうと思ったがそこへ《北方戦役》の話が降ってきた。」

The localization removes the remark about the duration of the last stand. Aurelia could've said: [I considered making a last stand there for a year, but news of the Northern War reached me.]

• 21:「You'll be just fine, Towa. Now let's get this show on the road!」 / 「フフ、ハーシェル先輩ならきっと大丈夫ですよ。一緒に頑張りましょう！」

The localization changes, addressing Towa by her surname. Munk could've said: [You'll be just fine, Herschel. Now let's get this show on the road!]

• 22:「Not to mention, as the student council president, you were highly regarded by many of your fellow students.」 / 「もとより、士官学院の生徒会長として貴族・平民を問わず多くの学院生たちから高い信頼を受け──」

The localization omits taking social classes into account. Munk could've said: [Not to mention, as the student council president, you were highly regarded by many of your fellow students--nobles and commoners alike.]

• 23:「Heehee. No elegant young maiden can resist the call of beautiful lace.」 / 「ふふっ、淑女の嗜みと言えばやはりマリアージュ・クロスははずせないでしょうね。」

The localization omits the mention of the brand. Musse could've said: [Heehee. No elegant young maiden can resist the call of Mariage Cross beautiful lace/Mariage Cross' beautiful lace.]

• 24:「Nothing draws a man's eye like a bit of lace...in just the right spot.」 / 「姫様から色々とプレゼントされたと聞きましたけど？」

The localization completely changes, from specifically teasing Elise to just be more of a general tease. Musse could've said: [I've heard that the princess has gifted you many such lace.]

• 25:「Although, I was shocked when she tried to pay for it with gunpowder.」 / 「手持ちがないからって報酬を弾薬で払おうとした時は驚いたけどね。」

The localization chooses to translate the general term for "ammunition"/"弾薬" to be specifically gunpowder. Marcus could've said: [Although, I was shocked when she tried to pay for it with ammunition/ammo/(maybe) *bullets".]

• 26:「How about assorted Eastern sweets?」 / 「なら……『羊羹の詰め合わせ』はどうだ？」

The localization randomly chooses to translate "yokan"/"羊羹" as just generic "eastern sweets", after having no problem doing it correctly in all other instances. Rean could've said: [How about some assorted yokan?]

• 27:「Well, we've basically just been making whatever we want at the Cooking Club.」 / 「ま、具体的には料理研究会と女子の有志でメニュー追加ですね。」

The localization phrases the arrangement weirdly. Juna could've said: [Well, we've (Elise, Musse and Juna) basically just decided on the menu together with the Cooking Club.]

• 28:「The elder? Is she the one Emma and Vita call their grandmother?」 / 「“長”──エマが“お祖母ちゃん”、クロチルダさんが“婆様”と呼ぶ人だよな？」

「I'm also worried about the 'true story' that Vita mentioned.」 / 「クロチルダさんが言っていた“真なる物語”というのもあったな。」
Again, it's made to use "Vita" instead of "Clotilde." I've already explained in previous posts how these changes can affect the dynamics of characters negatively. Rean could've said: [I'm also worried about the 'true story' that Clotilde mentioned.]

• 29:「From that day, Emma began training and studying as hard as she could with one goal...」 / 「『あやつの事は忘れよ』という“長”の言葉にも納得せず、その日からひたすらに修行と勉学に励んでいったわ。」

The localization removes what Roselia told Emma. Celine could've said: [From the day the Elder said 'forget all about heVita', Emma began training and studying as hard as she could with one goal...)

• 30:「That's the golden Spiegel the principal mentioned!」 / 「分校長が使っていた黄金のシュピーゲル……！」

The localization swaps "used" or "piloted"/"使っていた" for "mentioned." Rean could've said: [That's the golden Spiegel the principal used!]

• 31:「And so, Aurelia finished training the members of Class VIII...」 / 「──こうしてオーレリアはⅧ組メンバーにも（優しく）稽古を付け……」

The localization omits the joke. The narration could've said: [And so, Aurelia finished (gently) training the members of Class VIII...]

• 32:「Do they really need to have the conference during the Summer Festival...?」 / 「……夏至祭の時期……領邦会議もあるんですよね……」

The localization chose to phrase this as there's supposed to be reservation against these events being held at the same time. That wasn't particularly present originally. Tatiana could've said: [The Summer Festival is going to be held at the same time as Pronvicial Council...]; or: [I hear that the Provincial Council will be held together with the Summer Festival...]

• 33:「From what I heard, Olivier liked to play his lute under it.」 / 「ちなみに、その大橋の下で オリビエさんがリュートの弾き語りを披露したことがあるらしいんです。」

The localization puts this as if it's a 'known regular hobby'. Tita could've said: [From what I heard, Olivier played his lute under it *once.]

• 34:「It reminds me of the fleet. I feel like I'm home.」 / 「まるで船団に戻って来た みたいというか……これだけで里心がついちまうよ。」

「I hope our boss is doing well.」 / 「それにしても──女将さん、元気だといいんだが。」
The localization creates an awkward confusion for these lines. What would be expected is that "boss" would be the fleet's boss, but it's actually talking about the owner of the sailor bar, Miranda, by using "owner" or "landlady"/"女将さん." Leonora could've said: [I hope Miranda/the owner is doing well.]

• 35「Well, thanks to my mom's job, I know all about the nightlife in Raquel. Lemme know if you need any recommendations.」 / 「ま、お袋の職場だったのもあるし、夜のラクウェルなら任せろや。」

「I think it'll be an eye-opening experience for everyone, yeah?」 / 「坊ちゃんやらジャジャ馬にだっていい社会勉強になるんじゃねえか？」
「Though I might consider doing something after we're done with the field exercises.」 / 「せめて演習が終わった最終日なら引率込みで考えなくもないが。」
「Huh...? Well, aren't you a stingy one?」 / 「ハァ……？チッ、ケチくせえ野郎だな。」
The point of the line doesn't really come across that well in the localization. It sounds like the punchline to responding to Ash's proposal to allow Class VII to go out in the nightlife of Raquel is that "I'll consider doing that by myself." That couldn't be more wrong. Rena could've said: [Though I might consider chaperoning you guys after we're done with the field exercises.]

• 36:「The former Duke Cayenne is still under arrest and no replacement has been named.」 / 「現カイエン公は逮捕されたままで地方統括者は不在ですよね。」

Literally mistranslates "current"/"現." Altina could've said: [The current Duke Cayenne is still under arrest and no replacement has been named.]

• 37:「Hmph, you talk a lot for a doll. Must have a really long string in the back.」 / 「ハッ、よく喋る人形だぜ。」

Ash's line originally ends at the first clause.

• 38:「I hear there are some snipers who chose the Hector... but I suppose it all comes down to feeling.」 / 「正規軍の中にはヘクトルを選ぶ狙撃手もいるそうですが……まあ、要は相性ですね。」

The localization omits tthe fact that the snipers are from the army. Maya could've said: [I hear there are some snipers in the Imperial Army who chose the Hector... but I suppose it all comes down to feeling.]

• 39:「We need to focus on getting to Ordis.」 / 「この先はラクウェル方面──まずはオルディスの依頼に集中しよう。」

The localization removes the previous remark. Rean could've said: [This way leads to Raquel--We need to focus on getting to Ordis.]

• 40:「Damn. So that monster used to cozy up in there with fifty-thousand soldiers.」 / 「クク、あんな場所にあの化物が５万の兵と立て籠もったワケだ。」

The choice of "used" makes the sentence read as a characteristic beyond the single event the Japanese refers to. Ash could've said: [Damn. So that monster locked herself/cozied up in there with fifty-thousand soldiers.]

• 41:「During the war, the Imperial Army was at a loss after multiple failed attempts to infiltrate.」 / 「当時、帝国正規軍も攻めあぐねて頭を抱えたそうです。」

「It's fully equipped with multiple Panzer Soldats, large-class airships, and enough supplies and anti-aircraft cannons to last three years.」/ 「多数の機甲兵に大型飛行艇、３年は継戦できるだけの物資、対空砲も完備していましたから。」
In the context of "the Noble Alliance forces, after the civil war ended, barricaded themselves in Juno Naval Fortress," the localization wrongly chooses to put it as "during the war." Much the same, the second line is supposed to be talking about that single past event. Altina could've said: [It was equiped with multiple Panzer Soldats, large-class airships, and enough supplies amd anti-aircraft cannons to last three years.]

• 42:「(And thus a deal was struck that shifted the Northern War.)」 / 「（そんな事態を打開するために北方戦役の話が持ち上がった……）」

The localization translated this line very wrongly. The situation being "shifted" isn't the Northern War. Rean could've said: [To resolve that situation (Aurelia's barricade in Juno), the deal to set out for the Northern War was struck.]

• 44:「I don't see any Goliath Soldats. Do you?」 / 「ああ、そういや主力戦車だの噂の巨人機(ゴライアス)だのは見当たらねぇな？」

The localization omits the mention of the Main Battle Tanks. Ash could've said: [I don't see any Main Battle Tanks/MBTs/Achtzenhs or Goliath Soldats. Do you?]

• 46:「But over the past six months, we've seen some suspicious activity from both jaeger corps.」 / 「だがここ半年、帝国各地で不可解な動きをしていた各猟兵団が半月くらい前から鳴りを潜めていてな。」

「Activity that's led us to believe they're planning something for the Imperial Provincial Council in Lamare.」 / 「ール州で開かれる領邦会議に合わ・せるように。」
「Over the past six months, there haven't been any confirmed reports of jaeger corps activity within the Empire.」 / 「──ここ半月、帝国各地で 活動していた複数の猟兵団の動きが確認できなくなっている模様。」
By virtue of omitting information, the localization causes this line to have the wrong information. In the first line. Wallace could've said: [But over the past half a month/two weeks, we've not seen activity from the multiple jaeger corps which, until then, had been moving suspiciously in the Empire starting six months ago.] Consequentially, it's the lack of movement so close to the Provincial Council that makes them wary. The third line straight up mistranslated "half a month"/"半月." Wallace could've said: [Over the past half a month/two weeks, there haven't been any confirmed reports of jaeger corps activity within the Empire.]

• 47:「Ordis has been holding the Imperial Provincial Council since yesterday. Immediately after that's done is the Summer Festival.」 / 「オルディスは明日より領邦会議、そして《夏至祭》という状況です。」

The localization outright mistranslates "tomorrow"/"明日." The Provincial Army Soldier could've said: [Ordis will hold the Imperial Provincial Council starting tomorrow. Immediately after that's done is the Summer Festival.]

• 49:「Looking at this view, I can see why Ordis is so famous.」 / 「さすがは《紺碧の海都》と称えられるだけはある街だな。」

「The Port City, Ordis.」 / 「《紺碧の海都》オルディスへ。」
The localization refuses to establish a term for this other name that Rean and Musse call Ordis. Given some uses of the Japanese term, it could be "Saphirl Port City"; given the name of a food item in the city, perhaps "Aquamarine Port City"; even if not the same kanji, maybe "Azure Port City." As long as it's not entirely omitted from the game.

• 50:「Yeah, but once we're done sightseein', we've got a monster to kill.」 / 「そんで一通り回ったら南の浜辺で手配された魔獣をブチ倒すわけか。」

The localization omits mentioning the location of the monster. Ash could've said: [Yeah, but once we're done sightseein', we've got a monster to kill on the beach to the south/southern beach/beach south of the city.]

• 51:「I hope Luna isn't too bored.」 / 「はっはっは、ルナたちが退屈していなければいいのだが。」

The localization singles out Luna. Lord Quinn could've said: [I hope Luna and Eclair aren't too bored.]

• 52:「You're in luck. With the Summer Festival going on, the town is really buzzing with activity.」 / 「夏至祭も近いので商業区は賑わっているようです。」

The localization messes up the timeframe a little. The Provincial Army Soldier could've said: [You're in luck. With the Summer Festival happening soon, the town is really buzzing with activity.]

• 53:「My husband doesn't like things that come from the capital.」 / 「うちは旦那様が帝都資本嫌いなんです。」

Just like in Chapter 2, a maid is made to call her "master"/"lord" her husband by virtue of the fact that the Japanese term can be used for both. Pamela could've said: [My Master/Lord doesn't like things that come from the capital.]

• 54:「In addition to the taverns, there's an orbment store, and a glass workshop that is popular with the duke households.」 / 「宿酒場の他に、導力器なども扱う、公爵家御用達の硝子工房などもあります。」

It's not meant to be "households "in plural; the context here is that the glass workshop is used by the Cayenne estate. Musse could've said: [In addition to the taverns, there's an orbment store, and a glass workshop that is popular with the duke household/Cayenne/duke's estate*.]

• 55:「Guess what! My big brother is coming back tomorrow!」 /「あのね！ 今日兄ちゃんが帰ってくるんだ～っ！」

「My big brother is coming back tomorrow!」 / 「今日は兄ちゃんが帰ってくるんだよ！」
Straight up mistranslating "today"/"今日" in the localization. Luka could've said: [Guess what! My big brother is coming back today!]; And: [My big brother is coming back today!]

• 56:「Gramps is the ultimate craftsman. He even received the Golden Emblem.」 / 「じいちゃんは陛下から《黄綬勲章》を賜った最高の職人ですからね。」

The localization omits the line also havimg mention of the fact that the emperor is the award giver. Luther could've said: [Gramps is the ultimate craftsman. He even received the Golden Emblem from His Majesty himself.]

• 57:「Though, all I do nowadays is drink here!」 / 「ま、今はこの店くらいにしか卸しておらんがなぁ！」

「We get all our seafood from Rossel.」 / 「ちなみに魚介はそこのロッセルさんが卸してくれるんだ。」
The localization got this line wrong. It's not about drinking a lot, even the owner of the inn says the same, "卸して." Just as mentioned in the second line, by the tavern owner, Edmond. Old Man Rossel should've said: [Though, all I do nowadays is sell my catches here!]

• 57:「I need to make sure it doesn't compromise the beauty of this.」 / 「《輝き号》の魅力を損ねないよう、極力目立たないようにしたいけど……」

The localization chose to have the guy who's emamored with his new boat, and gave it it's own name, ultimately call it a "this." The Cheerful Man could've said: [I need to make sure it doesn't compromise Radiance's beauty.]

• 58:「I had to rid myself of some of the merchant ships my grandfather passed down to me! Aside from that little head start, I'm a self-made man!」 / 「祖父の代からの商船すらただ同然で手放すことになるなど……！」

The original isn't really about being or not being "self-made." Lord Beckford could've said: [I had to rid myself of some of the merchant ships my grandfather passed down to me as if they were worthless!]

• 59:「I mean, will all four of the Great Houses even participate? This truly is mindboggling.」 / 「そもそも四大の足並みすら揃うかどうか。……やれやれ、悩ませてくれる。」

The localization makes up the logic that the count would somehow still be in doubt of the participation of Great Houses with one day to go. Count Florald should've said: [I mean, will all four of the Great Houses' thoughts even be in alignment? This truly is mindboggling.]

• 60:「So this is a jade shell...It'd make for quite the accessory.」 / 「これがヒスイ貝か……確かに飾りに相応しいな。」

The whole point of the quest is to make "decorations"/"飾り" for the Summer Festival, and the localization decides it should be "accessory." Kurt should've said: [So this is a jade shell...It'd make for quite the decorarion.]

• 61:「We've lost enough men for one day.」 / 「ここで戦力を減らす意味など皆無だからな。」

The original doesn't make it sound like the Purple Jaegers already lost men against Rean and Class VII. The Purple Jaeger should've said: [There's no point in us losing our forces here today.]

• 62:「It's vital that we confirm if there are jaeger corps roaming the area.」 / 「この地で猟兵団が動いているのを実際に捉えたのは大きいだろう。」

The localization mistranslated this line and also makes it sound silly. None of the characters put any doubt that there are jaegers around or that the Purple Jaegers are jaegers; needing to confirm that just comes across as awkward. Patrick should've said: [It would have been great if we had actually captured those jaegers roaming the area.]

• 62:「This is a travesty! Does Marquis Ballad truly intend to reform the government like this?!」 / 「……信じられるか！？バラッド侯はまだ政府の改革案を受け入れるつもりらしいぞ。」

The original is about "accepting the government's reform plan"/"政府の改革案を受け入れる. Lord Beckford should've said: [This is a travesty! Does Marquis Ballad truly intend to accept the reforms of the government like this?!]

• 63:「We'll both be in town while the council is underway.」 / 「毎年領邦会議の時期は二人とも同じ街にいるんです。」

The original is about the lovers being in Ordis "every year"/"毎年" during the Provincial Council. Hearhcliff could've said: [We both come to town every year while the council is underway.]

• 64:「The next Duke Cayenne is about to be decided.」 / 「そろそろ現カイエン公にも判決が出される頃だよなぁ。」

The localizations not only mistranslate "current"/"現" but also "sentenced"/"判決が出される." Reins should've said: [The current Duke Cayenne is about to be sentenced.]

• 65:「Our hotel offers a taxi service.」 / 「当ホテルではラクウェルヘの送迎サービスも行っております。」

「You can enjoy the night life without worrying about the time.」 / 「鉄道のお時間を気にせず歓楽街を楽しむ事ができますよ。」
The first localized line gives the wrong idea. That would cause the second line to likely be interpreted as "Ordis' night life" when it's actually about in "Raquel"/"ラクウェル". Receptionis Harold should've said: [Our hotel offers a taxi service jto and from Raquel*.]

• 66:「Juna, see you later.」 / 「ユウナちゃんたち、お疲れ様ー。」

The localization singles out Juna, when it's her and Class VII. Louise could've said: [Juna and everyone/Everyone/Class VII, see you later.]

• 67:「Haha. Well, the three girls were so cute that I nearly--ahem, excuse me.」 / 「フフ、女の子たち３人が可愛すぎて思わず鼻血が──おっと、失敬。」

The localization leaves to the imagination, for better or for worse to some, that she got a "nosebleed"/"鼻血." Angelica could've said: [Haha. Well, the three girls were so cute that I got a nosebleed--ahem, excuse me.]

• 68:「There was a shooting near a school the other day...」 / 「この前なんて町のすぐ近くで撃ち合いがあって。」

The localization mistranslated "町" as "school," which doesn't have anything to do with it. Sister Olfa should've said: [There was a shooting near the city the other day...]
