I have a Macintosh Classic II which Ive been restoring. Unfortunately, the date and time do not save, despite replacing the clock battery. I’ve tested the battery and it has the correct 3.6 volts. I’ve also recapped the board, so that may have caused the issue, but I didn’t test the date and time before the recap, so I’m not sure. What should I do? Thanks!

Any therapists in Oklahoma who are in outpatient pediatrics? We are being told we are now being required by Medicaid to complete all evaluations on the date of service... which is nearly impossible. I haven't heard of any other clinics enforcing this "new rule." Anyone else hearing this from their clinics or from Medicaid?

Dear Reader: Emphasis on the -fi. Don't worry about it.
Effective Death. At least that’s what the news was calling it. The day the world wouldn’t end. Life could go on! It wasn’t over. You could still huddle around the last fires. Smoke the last cigarettes. Have the last children, though no one did.
Instead, they all watched. The slow dimming of light of the last supernova. A thousand little eclipses snuffed out the light as the Final Embrace closed around the star. We would not burn. We could die naturally. Charity. The Plan. The Plan wasn’t much of a Plan at all, and it definitely did not deserve a capital “P.” The universe would die. The Ark would wait. Maybe the universe wouldn’t die.
Then, a pinprick of light in the blackness, and another, and another. A tangled ball of christmas lights flashed in the sky, blinking on and off as people, my people, YSAs, flew headlong into the Ark. We all knew it was a meaningless gesture. One last light in the sky. Then nothing. Nothing more than a gesture: a middle finger among friends, and to people like me - cowards who would rather wait patiently for death than rage! “Rage against the dying of the light!” as their leaders preached. I didn’t care. There was a small chance I’d survive the crash, and then I would have to drift, and drifting was no fun. I’d rather be dead on a dead rock than be a dead rock.
Dehydration was my best bet. You see, Your Friend Corp, or as I called it now You’re Fucked, Cunt had made me into a Yakka Service Android: Lathe. Or YSA for short. And when I say made, I mean made. Per my contract, My DNA was a mishmosh of latent genes reactivated, entirely novel sequences, and of course, the tardigrade - the base model for spaceborne labor. Vacuum, heat, cold, radiation. A small shield powered by a miniature fusion reactor meant I could shrug off wandering asteroids. I didn’t need any PPE because I was the PPE. Cheaper, I guess. Making a welding arc was as simple as squeezing two fingers together, diamond nails and a skeleton of superheavy alloys let me fix anything that needed fixing and make anything that needed making. My copilot AI, Albert, kept my hands steady and made my new diet of ‘whatever’s around’ palatable.
The thing that needed fixing in this case, was my television. I had had enough of “effective death.” I spun up one wrist, and reached in. Shards of glass and blue-hot metal chips bounced off my naked body. Clothes were for those who needed them. I traced a slow serpentine pattern until only the power cord was left, which I unplugged. I looked at it for a moment, then began to chew it. Fruit roll ups, apparently.
‘Thanks Al’ I thought. ‘No problem’ he replied. ‘I was supposed to kill you, you know’ he continued.
‘Why didn’t you?’
‘You always said thank you’ He was silent for a moment. ‘I don’t want to die either.’
‘Thanks Al.’
‘You’re welcome.’
We sat in silence, and we waited. For what, we did not know. For nothing, probably. Technically, definitely.
—
Three weeks passed. Three weeks of nothing but blackness, punctuated by suicides. A small flash of light, a dull red glow of the now proverbial last cigarette, and a larger flash, and a bang. Slowly, people began to wake up. Lights shone in the distance now, as people realized they weren’t dead. Campfires billowed smoke, songs were sung, jokes were told, and I sat in silence. I didn’t want to make any friends. They’d all go away, in the end.
One by one, the fires burned to ash, the lights turned off, and the rock died. I often debated with myself if I was alive anymore. Al told me that since I could reproduce and poop that I counted. I wasn’t sure.
Maybe there were other cowards still alive. Other YSA’s living off dirt that tasted like mashed potatoes, tossing grape pebbles into their mouths. Maybe someone survived the crash, and is still drifting, a not dead rock dying of dehydration like I am. Trying to at least. I kept taking one last sip. Coward I thought to myself.
—
A crack in the sky. Final Embrace began to crumple like a deflated balloon. The scientists were wrong. Typical. They would tell you they weren’t. They would say that a .005% chance of the sun turning into a black hole meant that they had indeed predicted that the sun would turn into a black hole. The last black hole.
“Hey Al,” I said out loud. God I hadn’t spoken since the sky went dark. This is actually kinda nice. “I think I know I want to die. What do you say we take the ol girl out for one last ride?”
‘That’d be nice.’
“I’m going to put my clothes on. I want to hear your voice.”
I gently pushed the earpiece into my ear canal. Small barbed spikes extended, anchoring it in place, and a thin cable wormed its way into my reactor. “If you’re going to die, you might as well look good doing it.” Al said. “I’ll make a playlist.” I nodded, blowing the dust off my pre-op clothes. I always liked the old things, back from when Earth still existed. There was more culture, more life, in everything, somehow. Blue jeans, a white t-shirt, brown leather boots. Classic. Not real, of course. They were all made from the same poly-something textile. Durable, to a fault. I had only ever had the one set.
I looked in the mirror. I still looked the same on the outside. I was a skinny bastard that’s for sure. Olive skin, dark hair, and not a strand below the eyebrows except under my armpits and around my cock. ‘The biggest dick in the world’ I thought to myself.
“I heard that.” Said Al. I jumped. “You told me you wanted to hear my voice.”
“Dammit Al. Sorry. I do.”
“Everyone is dead and you’re making dick jokes.”
“Did you really think better of me?”
“No.”
“Come on then. Let’s take the ol girl out before we die. Give her one last ride too.”
To an observer, it would seem like I was glaring at myself in the mirror. But really, I was glaring at Al. And I was a little confused. I thought AI didn’t make sex jokes.
The “ol girl” in question was another of my fascinations with the old world. She was, or at least she looked like, a 1980 Toyota Corolla. I had made some heavy, heavy modifications. The engine bay houses the reactor and warp field generator. The main engine takes up the entire trunk, and is capable of 5% light speed outside the warp field and a whopping thousand times the speed of light inside it, though I keep the warp field up whenever I’m in it since it doubles as a shield. Ya can’t get hit by space if you’re not technically “in” space after all, and the body is plain ol painted steel - fire engine red, since you asked. Beautiful, but not the most durable. The undercarriage serves as a gravity generator, and yes, the wheels do turn, but since they’re powered by fusion reactor I had to replace the entire drivetrain. Not exactly original, but boy howdy! is she fast on the ground. Speaking of not original, the dashboard was anything but. I kept the old analog style but well, this was a spaceship after all.
I shoveled dirt into the fuel tank - gas tanks they used to call them, when they still ran on gas - then got in and turned the key. The low hum of the reactor was comforting, though not as much as the roar of the engines as I left the dead atmosphere of that now definitely dead rock behind me. I turned on the headlights - pointless, I know, but you shouldn’t drive in the dark with your lights on, and pulled a small bottle of moonshine from the glovebox. You shouldn’t do that either, but I figured I was about even as far as rules went. What was I going to do? Hit someone?
“Hey Al. Do you think you have a soul”
“Probably not.”
“That sucks.”
“Yeah.”
I hit somebody. Or something. Whatever it was bounced off the warp bubble and tumbled into space behind me, briefly red in the glow of my tail lights.
“Oh shit” Said Al and I.
“That was a person” Said Al.
“Was is right.”
“They’re still alive.”
I stopped the car. Al played the sound of tires screeching in my ears. I backed up towards the now spinning uncontrollably figure and rolled down the window. I liked the manual windows. They helped me feel human. I turned off the warp and reached out a hand to catch whoever it was, and they slammed against the side of my car, denting it. Damn it.
I’m not great at reading lips but whoever I hit was definitely alive, very naked, probably the most gorgeous woman I had ever seen, and was almost certainly calling me an asshole. She crawled around to the passenger door and got in. We rolled the windows up, and the cabin atmosphere flooded in. Now she was definitely going to call me an asshole.
“Why the fuck are you wearing sunglasses?” She said.
“Style.” I replied. “I’m going to go die. Want to come?”
“Better than drifting.”
“Where’s your AI?” said Al? I don’t detect one, and your hands are shaking.
“Killed him before he could kill me. Why didn’t you kill this idiot?”
"I didn’t want to die. And he said thank you.”
“Gross.”
I rolled my window down. She did the same, then looked in the center console and pulled out my spare sunglasses. I looked at her. “Style.” She said. Al played The Final Countdown. We were the not dead yets, in the Not Dead Yet Finally, a name for my car! Sunglasses on. Sun out. Life was good, and death was going to be even better.

A few months ago I came out of a year-long relationship were we "had" (not really) sex a total of 2 times, which I initiated. Before this I went months without sex and I've remained that way ever since.
I used to have sex whenever I wanted when I was 20-21. I was much thinner and men paid attention to me in real life. Now I do have random men that flirt with me, but it's only online and you can tell that they are creeps that send the same message to thousands of women in hopes one will reply.
I have a high sex drive and I'm blunt about it, making it clear I don't want anything serious. But I get rejected a lot and it has made me lose confidence and hope.
My face isn't that bad, it's my body. My skin. I hate my skin. I'm full of scars and bruises because I'm extremely clumsy, I'm hairy although I shave (I have PCOS) and I have red stretch marks all over. I have big ankles, big wrists and chubby hands. It's not like I can solve those issues by eating healthier and working out, it's unfixable.
I do take care of myself. I shower everyday and exfoliate my whole body every 3 days. I always keep my hair clean and I put on an hydrating mask on it once a week. I moisturize and wear sunscreen everyday. I wear clean clothes and perfume. I always have my nails done. I wear makeup everyday (nothing too bright or heavy but enough to look fresh and awake).
But I'm still invisible.
I've been told I'm not ugly but I don't believe them. If I were not I would be able to have casual sex. I'm still young enough for it.
All of this has me resenting men. I catch myself actively saying "I hate men" in my head multiple times a day. I'm literally becoming a female incel.
Whoever said women can have sex whenever they want is absolutely delusional or I'm somehow the only one that can't.
I think about this all day, it frustrates and upsets me. What am I doing wrong? I literally don't know what else to do. I hate myself.

Looking to play games such as Ark: Survival Ascended, Warzone/MW3, Valorant, CS2, modded Skyrim, ESO, Eve Online, Starfield in 1440p on high settings on a 144hz monitor. Occasionally 4k. I know ARK would probably underperform, but I’m ok with that, hopefully they optimize sooner or later, but that’s the game I’m probably going to play the most.
I’d love to be able to do this while streaming in 1440p off the same rig at the same time, and being able to edit videos in 1440p/4k. No super complex edits, I’m new to editing, but learning.
I put the 7800x3D because I want the build to be future proof with AM5, but if I have to go Intel for more cores in order to stream/edit, I’ll grit my teeth and do it. Also I don’t really want to sacrifice gaming performance for more productivity power, since I’m not doing any 3D modeling or professional editing that needs to be rendered lightning fast. What’s the most a 7800x3D would handle productivity-wise before I’m screaming at it to hurry up?
I put an Nvidia GPU since I heard they’re better for streaming, and DLSS works great. 4070ti Super specifically because that’s the absolute most I’m willing to pay for a GPU right now. Is it overkill or just right?
I got this build from a YouTube video, so please let me know if you would change/optimize anything. Thank you.

Well hi there! How's the weekend been treating you?
Mine's been alright, but that's not what you're here for is it?
You saw the title on this post and now you're all curious right?
I bet you're wondering what boyfriend stuff includes? Let's start with:

• Getting texted back regularly with an option for phone calls!
  
• Going out on dates with possible holding hands or making out!
  
• I'll make you laugh with all sorts of jokes from the sophisticated cynicism, cutting sarcasm to childish fart jokes I can do it all!
  
• You can get home cooked dinners! And breakfast too if I'm working overnights!
  
• You'll get all sorts of attention and compliments!
  
• I'm emotionally available and completely over my ex's!
  
• Flowers!
  

....and so much more!
Sounds pretty great right?
But who am I?
I'm a nearly middle aged divorced ex stand up comic that's worked himself into full on burnout working in hotels for the last twenty years. It's made into someone that's very empathetic and caring while still being to be cold as fuck when needed.
In my free time I'm kind of a traditional nerdy white guy. Gaming, cartoons (not anime though), science fiction, detective stories, alternative history, sketch comedy, various sitcoms, hiking, cooking and mowing the lawn occupy my off hours. I also tried getting back into writing again, but it's been challenging.
Now it's your turn! PM me and we can start planning the first date!

I'm so confused,York kinesiology or medical physics TMU, I like both programs but I kinda prefer kinesiology more as I'm not sure if I want to go into a grad school after or no, I visited TMU campus many times and attended many events with my friends so I like it more but I'm not sure about the program, any advice?

My ex and I were together for 2 years. We've been broken up since Oct 2023 and although it was mutual, I changed my mind and she rejected me. I immaturely and emotionally reacted and reached out once a month for 2-3 months post break up. Include a full, blown out spiral around her bday when I sent paragraphs of apologies. It was BAD, you guys. Just pathetic. But anyway. This is the love of my life and went down on my sword. But from the bottom of rock bottom I climbed out and totally went No Contact. For over two months. I needed to grow and mature which I have and damn, I feel like a different person. I am someone who loves themselves now and can love my partner properly. Falling to rock bottom awakened me. Anyways, my ex (love of my life) and I ran into each other by chance two months into my no contact journey. We had a cordial conversation- very respectful. At first I could tell she was still in pain/anger, because she told me "how some is treated is a reflection of how they feel about themselves." I agreed. I was fully accountable and said how poorly I'd behaved and I thanked her for setting boundaries because she saved my life- I had to grow the hell up. No pride during this convo. I was just mature, calm, polite and thoughtful. I felt very peaceful talking to her and was so grateful to be in her presence as my healed self (not the ass hole she dated for 2 years). We ended up laughing and casually saying goodbye. As if I melted a little of her icy wall. A month later (and no other contact at all), we ran into each other again. This time the convo was a quick, and casual non-dramatic. I asked about her weekend and she asked about my family and then we parted ways very sweetly. I feel like she even lingered and smiled at me. I was so happy. She told me I looked good (casually) during both of these run-ins. But a few days later, I am walking down the sidewalk and see her coming the other way. I can tell she's gotten off work and is running a fast errand (I remember her ways lol). When we see each other, my heart just stops and I embarrassingly covered it with my hand. I then went to take out my head phones and I smiled (not too widely, just a "oh hi grin"). Help me, world, understand her reaction. She sees me and looks completely startled and almost fearful. As we get closer she forces an awkward smile to her face and just completely, coldly, walks by me. I felt like the kid on the playground that gets ignored by the cool popular kid even though they hung out secretly. I had enough pride and wisdom to keep walking forward, not cry and not call. I just kept walking and my inner child wailed. It was so intentionally cold, trust me. I've meditated on it and feel this is showing she has a lot of healed parts of her, but damn.... is she totally done with me? She used to be madly in love and we were headed towards engagement. I was just so stupid in the end but ultimately am glad we broke up so I could grow. I want to show her I've healed but I dare not trespass in her space. Thanks for advice.

Hey y'all,
Long time lurker here, but I wanted to make a post of my experience because I found a lot of reassurance from many folks here before I got my surgery.
I'm exactly seven weeks post-op today; I had a total laparoscopic hysto, including ovaries. For some background, I'm 34, 5'3 and 134lbs; been on T for 9 years now.
Surgery day: Nervous as hell, but medical team was amazing. Surgery took about 2.5 hours and I was able to go home the same day. I had a bit of trouble fully coming to afterwards, but after a nap, I was good to get up on my own and make my way to the washroom for the highly anticipated pee (can't leave without peeing). It did take me a long time to pee, but I managed a little something. There will be blood immediately after surgery, so it certainly can be startling if you've been without a period for years. Didn't eat much that day, as anaesthetic kinda ruined my appetite. Pain was tolerable, but getting up from the couch/bed was tough - you'll kinda have to roll out. I peed A LOT that evening (it did subside a bit the next day). Nurses said nothing over 5lb (I 100% did not abide by this because 5lbs is very light to me and I felt it silly) and no sex for 6 weeks.
First week: Pain was very manageable, just similar to sore abs. I continued my prescribed painkillers for a couple days and made the switch to Tylenol, which I took for another couple days and then I didn't feel like I needed anything. Bleeding was pretty mild throughout the first week. I think after about 4-5 days post-op, I was walking quite a bit (couple 10-15 min walks a day and general tidying around the house). I did get a little tired, but nothing bad. Drove my car around 4 days in. Was also drinking a dissolvable stool softener - you're really gonna want this. I never took it with top surgery, but hystos are so connected to your bowels, its just a must-have.
Second week: Went back to work after 12 days - I work in service and was on my feet 6-8 hours a day. I felt fine and didn't really overdo it. I didn't lift much over 10-15lbs, but was able to hustle. Bleeding continued to be quite light. I was pretty much cleaning my house as normal at this point, as well as walking my dog (though he is super young and a puller, so I was very cautious during our walks). Continued drinking the stool softener because I still felt a little discomfort when trying to go to the bathroom.
Third and Fourth weeks: Third week I just increased my walking, working and started to ease back into my routine. I will say my gas pains/bowel discomfort got pretty bad around this point - I've never experienced anything like it. It was obvious it was related to my intestines and bowels settling into a new place inside me, but it was so uncomfortable. I continued the softener every other day until the fourth week. Once I reached week four, I went back to the gym to do some stretching and isolation work on machines (leg extentions and curls, shoulder presses, rows, light curls and tricep work). I only went two days, that week, but it felt amazing to get back in there and move my body. I had no more bleeding at all after that week and had no adverse effects from going to the gym.
Fifth and Sixth weeks: Pretty much a full return to normal for me. Fifth week, I started increasing the weights (half my usual) at the gym and hit the exercise bike as well. Sixth week, I started my compound body work like squats, bench presses, light deadlifts, etc. Again, had no adverse effects. I'm now at week seven and I'm back fully to normal, in my opinion. My doctor has cleared me for all regular activities and I'm feeling great. This will be my first full week back in the gym and though things are feeling heavy as hell after all this time, it will come back in no time.
Some other things that I was worried about before my surgery: Muscle loss/Weightlifting - If you're in good shape beforehand and are a seasoned lifter, you're gonna be just fine. I was so freaked out about losing my muscle and physique, but it wasn't so bad. Just don't eat like shit and stay as active as you can. Things are gonna feel really heavy when you get back, but just go slow and focus on form.
Sex/Masturbation - I got myself off probably 2 weeks after and had some light bleeding, but nothing else. I waited again for another few days and it was fine after that. I continued to get off regularly after this with no adverse effects. Myself and my partner obviously didn't have penetrative sex during these 6 weeks, but we did manage to get by with some hands-on fun. I've yet to have the more "aggressive" penetrative sex I'm used to, but light penetration this past week has not bothered me - just go slow and make sure it feels ok.
Scarring - SO TINY. Seriously, just don't pick at them and keep them moisturized and they will heal great.
That's mostly all I can recall right now, but I'm happy to answer any questions. Sorry if this was long-winded, but I figured maybe it would help someone out!

1. From Elden Ring, intimidated by the difficulties, then found the sorcerer build… broke the game easily. I thought this gonna be the only way you play dark souls… but ds1 has the limited count based spell mechanism instead of mana based. So I have to use melee build. And friend, am I loving it!!!!!super fun, and every weapon feels different! I explored so many different weapons when beating 1/2, now 3 (half). DS1 opened a new door for me! Melee is way fun then sorcerer! Also very efficient as well!
   
2. So well designed, the connected world, puzzles, dark feeling. Just feels like an open world game to me TBH. 2 is also solid, but 3 DLCs, felt too overwhelming for me, no mood for NG+ really. But 1 is so smooth and quick, even with DLC, I am close to NG++ now.
   
3. I played the switch version first, so laggy, the frame rate feels awful. Bought the PS version, beat it! I thought they are the same version, but thank god I didn’t stop there!
   
4. I killed several NPC without suffering much, what a traditional souls experiences🤣🤣
   

I thought Tekken8 gonna consume all my time, but god I hate its new hate system, so repeating. DS1 filled the gap perfectly. All the other games feels trash now! (Ok, except ds2/3, or maybe Diablo4 new season 4🤣🤣🤣)

Just to be clear beforehand:
· I am a 100% sure he is single and not dating his ex
I (27F) met this man (26M) a couple months ago on a datingapp. I remember it saying in his bio that he was looking for something casual, at that point I didn’t know what I was looking for so I just sent him a message. We bonded over the fact that we both just got out of a long term relationship, we were both single for 2 months at that point after 4.5-5 years of dating (very coincidental but nice to bond over that LOL). He was very open and honest and also told me that he is still living with her at this point (it’s not easy to find a new place in the capital of our country). What I noticed is that this man was very honest, for example, he shared that he had a STD and that he has kissed guys (which could definitely be a dealbreaker for some girls). While it was clear that he was looking for casual, I did notice that after a short while he would text me at 7am when he woke up, and he literally talk the whole day. Also when he was working he would text me all the time. I started really liking him.
We had a strong attraction, and I was the one making very flirty and sexual comments. We would tease each other and couldn’t wait till the moment that we could meet up and have sex. After talking 24/7 for 3 weeks, we had our first date. We very both very nervous, and I remember him saying that he normally doesn’t get nervous so that this was weird for him. I sometimes did get the feeling that he started to like me a little more than only for casual. The date went great, and I think we really hit it off. We just talked for hours about our life and interests. We went from bar to bar just talking, and I remember saying that I had to leave at a certain point because I paid for my parking until a specific time. It was just a 10 minute walk. What made me certain that he liked me enough for a second date is when he offered to just keep talking, and that he would pay for my fine (100$) when I got one. He has a good job (he's a therapist) so definitely has a good income but that amount of money is also a lot for him. Of course I declined LOL but I remember being flattered.
The day after I remember saying that he decided after the date to only focus on me, and that he would like it if I did the same. He also said that he was a “one girl kind of guy”. On the first date he also made me promise jokingly, yet serious, to at least go on 5 dates with each other. At tis point, it was clear that we found each other very attractive and that we really want to sleep with each other. Date two was also a lot of fun and at this point I really started to like him. The day after, he asked me for a third date. We kept taking initiative with conversations all the time. It would be very flirty and sexual sometimes, but also about anything and everything. I remember that sometimes I would try to be very flirty and he would direct the conversation to other stuff (like family), which was interesting to me, but I think he just really liked me. I am very cautious, and am really scared of the dating scene especially hearing all the ghosting, manipulating, whatever shit that happened to people around me so I was really analyzing anything and everything he was saying but there did not seem to be any red flags. My friends and older sister were sure he was falling in love with me based on the information I shared.
One night we were on the phone and I remember him hanging up suddenly when his ex entered their home. He already told me that he would have to end the conversation if this happened. After the conversation I remember him being kind of scared that I was annoyed that his ex is affecting our situation, but I explained that I understand and think it’s very respectful that he’s not rubbing it in her face that he’s talking to someone new. The day after he shared that he realized he wants to really separate wit this ex, and that he initiated a conversation about one of them moving out. I remember being like: oh he really likes me since little situation made him take action.
Throughout all of this, I would sometimes joke and make non-casual comments, in the beginning he was clear that he was not ready for that. After a while I remember him saying that these jokes were not scaring him (anymore). At this point I really liked him, and wasn’t sure if I was going to be happy with only being casual, and we had multiple conversations about this. The conversations went from ‘I really only can do casual at this point so if we’re not at the same page, we need to be clear and end it so no one gets hurt’ to ‘I wanted casual but at this point I am not sure, I really like you and I think it’s likely that I would want a serious relationship with you’. He was very clear and open about the fact that he was confused and was trying to figure out what he really wanted. A very important note: I noticed from the beginning on that this is a very conscientious, analytical person that thinks things through. From the beginning, I was also very clear that I could develop feelings, and that if I did and wanted more, that I would really like it if he would respect me enough to tell if he wasn’t in that place. He promised he would be honest. At this point there was no indication that he was dishonest about anything so I tried to just trust him on this.
I think at this point we’ve been talking for 3 weeks, and of course, I start to really like him. To me, it’s clear that he really likes me too. We did not have sex at this point. I started to catch feelings and asked him how to prevent falling in love. He responded that he had the same, and that at this point he is not even sure that this something he wants to prevent anymore. However, he was still reflecting on this situation and honestly it would be kind of weird to rush into a new relationship after being involved with someone else for so long, he was also living with her, and we do not live near each other so the situation was not in our favor.
Note: at this point we did not have sex yet. The sexual connection was definitely there though, and it was clear for both of us that on date 3 we would have sex.
One night, he had a party that he was really looking forward to. The day after he called me and kind of broke things off with me. He explained that this party made him realize that being single/having freedom is what he wants at this point. He was honest about finding other women attractive at this party (he volunteered the information that he did find the girls more attractive than me), and that he did not flirt with them because we were talking, but that he would’ve liked that and would’ve liked to just have fun without the commitment. He said that he really liked me, and that if he kept talking to me and if we would continue to mee up, he was sure that he would fall in love and that he is just not ready for that at this point. He shared that he only wants to get in a relationship if he thinks he can give himself fully, and that at this point he’s just not there yet. During this conversation, he realized that this situation also happened with his ex that we dating for 5 years: they really liked each other, but he didn’t feel like he could give his all to her, so he didn’t commit. However, they still kept in contact (studying the same thing), couldn’t really keep away from each other and still had sex. This continued for a while until he felt ready to give himself fully, and that’s when they got official. I asked him if he also sees that happening with me, he said he did but that he couldn’t promise that 100%. I thanked him for his honesty, but couldn’t understand: all the signals were there that he really liked me and was very invested. I also told him that I was afraid I was being naïve to believe what he was saying, as I heard this exact situation happen to every girl ever (the bullshit cliches like “you deserve better”, “I need to work on myself”) and that it didn’t make sense what he was saying like: “I like you. I like you so much that if we would keep meeting, I will fall in love. Therefore, let’s stop talking.” However, at the same time I felt like I could trust him, based on the fact that he cut if off BEFORE we had sex. He literally could’ve waited another five days, had sex with me, and then cut if off. But at this point he didn’t get any.
This guy is not a fuckboy, I am sure of that. I have a specific type. He is the exact type like my ex, there is no fuckboy bone in their body.
We ended it. I let him know that he could contact me whenever he is ready for something serious, but that I would also keep dating and go on with my life.
My question to you guys is:
· Am I delusional, and is this quite literally every situation ever and does it come down to “I am not ready to a relationship… WITH YOU” or does it make sense what he’s saying? I just don’t understand letting someone go you like so much, think is so beautiful and interesting. It just does not make sense. However, at the same time, everything that he is and said did indicate that he really values “doing the right thing” and is really strict on himself. Is he just such a good, stand-up guy that he’s willing to let me go, or at least let the possibility for sex go, because he “knows he can’t give himself fully” and that he won’t get in a serious relationship if this is the case because he would lose respect for himself, and also doesn’t want me to accept any less than 100%.
(Last point: I considered the possibility that he just lost interest after date 2. He ended it 6 days after the second day. However, I don’t think this is likely: he asked for a third date the day after, and would jokingly remind me of the 5-date-promise, he “offered” to go to a concert with me of someone that he is not as big as a fan of which would cost him a lot of money, nothing in our conversations changed. Nothing gave off that he was less interested.)
TL;DR Met a guy on a dating app who initially wanted something casual. Despite living with his ex and admitting to not being ready for a serious relationship, we connected deeply. He was very open and honest, shared personal details early on, and our communication was intense and constant. After a few great dates, he seemed to start considering a more serious relationship with me. However, after a party, he realized he wasn’t ready to commit and broke things off, saying he feared falling in love because he couldn’t give himself fully yet. He was honest and ended things respectfully before we became more involved. I’m left wondering if this situation is a typical "it’s not you, it’s me" scenario or if he genuinely needs more time, as he stated. Is it delusional to think he might come around, or did his actions show genuine integrity and self-awareness?

Hello everyone!
Like the title says, I'm a completely new GM that has been learning the game the past week and would finally like to get started. My idea was to do the Enter: Hydra as a one-shot and if that went well, transition into the Cataclysm of Kang adventure.
I am planning to play through Discord text (no mics or cameras required). I am EST based for time and my schedule is very flexible.
Let me know if I'm missing any pertinent information. Excited to play!

Sad trombone.
1) Mobs tankiness reduced. Somewhere between where they were at start and where they were from the patch last week.
2) The patch broke a lot of things, decreasing QoL. No one wants to try-equip their hotbar every time they change zones or go into storage.
3) Hunter nerfed again.
4) Thief PvE nerfed by not allowing attacking from invis (three “charges” but you uninvis if doing a physical attack). You can still cast powders and skills from invis.
The patch was poorly done, some roll backs, noob island bosses are still not loading (except the troll), and it is annoying to change zones at all. Reports of people losing recipes/enchants as well.
This was the worst patch to date

A bit of financial background: I come from an upper middle class family, I do not pay rent to live in my parents house, I have minimal bill and student loan payments, and occasionally my parents offer to pay for things for me/give me money. My partner comes from a lower middle class family, has to pay rent to live in their parents home, has student loans, and their parents rarely pay for things for them.
While we attended university, both me and my partner didn't work, or only held part time jobs. Once graduated, I got a job as a cook. I don't make fantastic money, but I make enough to pay for my bills and loan, plus be able to do fun things such as go out to eat, go to concerts, go on smallecloser trips, etc. My partner has not succeeded in finding a job yet. Part of it definitely has to do with how shit the job market is in our country, but some of it also is due to them being picky with what job they'll take. They don't want to be a "wage slave" to an "evil" company, essentially. They won't apply to many chain stores and restaurants. When I suggest applying to certain jobs, or to contact a temp work agency, they get pissy.
They are months behind on their rent and student loan payments. I worry they will get in trouble for not paying their parents rent after a while (so far they've been understanding), or will get in trouble for not paying back student loans in time. Whenever we go on dates, I have to pay, or we have to do free stuff or stay at home, which isn't necessarily bad. However, I'm getting annoyed that I'm the one that always has to pay. I'm annoyed that I can't suggest things to do that cost money anymore without my partner complaint they're broke. I'm annoyed my partner won't try to get temp work with assistance from an agency, or won't apply to the "easy" places to get jobs (the chains).
AITA for feeling this way? Do I need to show more compassion to my partner? I know it's tough to get a job right now, but I also feel like if I was in that position and couldn't pay my rent and bills, I'd be trying whatever I could to get work, not complaining about it.
Also, me and my partner have really had no issues in our relationship besides when we get pissed at each other when job searching is brought up.

Ascalamualkum everyone. Just want to share what I feel, cause I feel really down from the past few days. Idk what I want from this, just want to post it lol, will delete probably like always I post and feel like 2 hours later, I'm being un thankful.
I'm not complaining at all, just want to share my feelings.
Idk what it is but I really have like nostalgic feelings. I miss my old days, and just beings tears in my eyes to think about it. It's like my chest is heavy.
About 3-5 years ago, it's so dumb but I used to have a group chat. I made it on Instagram and got some random people to join. I was like 16ish, didn't know all the rulings of islam and talking to girls and all. I made it and it was like Corona virus time, online classes and all. So I would talk all day, joke, troll, that was like it gave me so much happiness. Like I would wake up for classes and be so excited to massage the group and see what everyone talked about while I was sleeping. I don't know anyone in real life from that group. Want want to tell the names but their were people from 🇿🇦🇨🇦🇮🇳🇵🇰🇸🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇫.
Everyone was like 16-20 ish lol.
It was so nice man. After I realized like 2 years later or a year and a half later that it's wrong to talk to females and all, I was like I gotta stop. So I left the group. But then i just couldn't leave, I got back, I left again, and someone added me back, and so on for some time. Eventually I was like I gotta just leave, i started on my prayers and was trying my best, fasting and all, giving dawah etc.. I eventually just left one day. The people kept adding me back but I keep leaving without messaging. Tbh it hurts. I texted my friends evtually like I dont want to talk, but I just felt so down, I would send like salam, how are you to them, would be so happy like they will reply. It's not even about girl or boy, it's just for all of them I felt so happy. Evtually i asked them all the girls like can you delete my chats, and they said sure. One of them would every now and then ask how are you, I'd just keep it simple and reply back. I would get the urge idk why to just ask how they are, I would send the message, 10 mins later check it and unsend it.
Idk why, I still remember stuff from the group. Things we talked about, the people, and even their @s.
Am I just stupid? I feel so dumb and stupid to be crying over that. Idk why I think about it. I just miss it. It makes me feel.so weird to think like right now those people are involved in their lives, doing something totally diffrent, and how everyone has their own lives. It's not just that group. But fir me that group was too big of a deal. I feel so dumb. Like they probably dont even remember, or think about me, why would they. But why am I. Like I can't remove the thoughts.
Ah man. I look at the sky and feel so sad. I miss one of the people in the group, who passed away. It's so wierd like I live in America and I think about it, one of the people, she is from 🇿🇦, it's so wierd like shes all the way on the other side of the planet. She has her life, everyone's life so different, everyone is doing their own thing.
Just what I feel. But not complaining, cause I left it for the sake of Allah.

1. They take offense easily, you can hardly joke around with them, theyve become humorless social justice warriors
2. They allegedly live in constant fear of assault from men, a neurotic version of reality theyve concocted in their minds from consuming truecrime documentaries, "men bad" statistics that they accept at face value, and believing misandrist women
3. They're quick to label any guy who does anything they don't agree with as creepy, even if he is harmless and minding his own business
4. While allegedly being terrified of men, they will hook up on 1st dates with hot guys they met on an app
5. They act high and mighty until its time to take accountability for their actions, then its tears and blaming someone else (usually men)
6. They hate toxic men yet 90% of young American women are heavy into rap music, knowing every word to toxic ass rap songs about gang banging, murder, scamming, thieving and drug dealing
7. They like to use "past oppression of women" as an excuse for why women need to always back up each others bullshit and push the envelope ever further in their favor
8. They front about who they are and how high their standards are, and easily cave to the right guy who offers little of what they supposedly were holding out for
9. They claim to be about body positivity (except for men) and sex positivity (except for men)
10. They feel entitled to a level of respect for simply existing, simultaneously being perpetual victims while also expecting to be treated like bossbabes
