Hello everyone, I am in market, searching for a mid-size SUV for my cousin brother, who is upgrading from his humble i20.
Lately, he’s been watching many YouTube videos from various individual creators, and other professional media houses, who are praising the ADAS system inordinately.
He has a budget of 25lacs, however I am seeing a trend amongst manufacturers. The top model of a vehicle, has another additional model, which comes with ADAS, and a premium of almost 1-1.5 lacs just for the ADAS features.
We took a test drive of Hector with ADAS (I own the non-ADAS version of it), Harrier, Safari and XUV. We even looked at Elevate and Seltos, and we found that almost every SA of every company, turned the ADAS off at the start of the TD, or had it completely off prior the commencement of TD.
Upon asking the reason, we got a mixed bag reply stating that customers aren’t used to ADAS, so when they rash drive the TD vehicle it tends to break abruptly and with full force if the sensors aren’t turned off.
I then met a friend who drives an Elevate ZX CVT, he had his ADAS turned off completely stating the same reason that it breaks abruptly, amplifying the chances of getting rear ended.
If that is the case, why are people spending a fortune on ADAS features if they are going to mute them anyway?
I would want to ask people here, specifically who own cars with ADAS, about how they are using their vehicles?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve been prone to apocalyptic dreams for a wheats from zombies to bare with me energy beings that when you plugged your phone in to a charger it would instantly kill you I watched my ex gf at the time do It that’s how I knew what was going on, to this crazy ass dream
We where separated grandma had picked me up from somewhere I think I said Georgia we drove a few hours stopped at this hotel or something I was sitting in the stairwell when some lady was tweaking how we where in a class A sending rockets full blown war I run back to the room to see grandma and grandpa packing? Instead of getting the funk out of here I was packing just shit you’d want the dream changed I was back in Indiana i was packing all your shit baskets full when we went to leave I ran back upstairs in my room for 1 thing and I saw James on my computer naked watching gravity falls porn he’s shocked I came back in so early but who cares and why??but I could see rockets getting sent from my window from you’d only assume their silos shortly after that interaction I saw the house across the street it was in full HD sound vibrations and everything it was probably the most realistic any dream has ever felt for me it just implodes no longer a 3 story house now just a ball of flame I could hear explosions happening all around as I’m jumping down the stairs I get so disoriented my vision freaks out I get wobbly as I’m running out the door I see houses gone hundreds of missiles in the sky being intercepted I see Debbie on the floor by her car I felt heat so much heat from outside from all the fire both houses on either side where ingulfed in flames I blinked in the dream and I was laying in bed I closed my eyes again it was complete darkness screaming around me I open again tv was still on the roku afk screen I’m drenched in sweat confused boy brain mad cause part of me wanted to finish that dream so bad instead of leaving on that cliff hanger I get up I went pee and switched sides of the bed- like this would be exactly how it would feel if it where happening is it a sign? Deep down fear of our world destroying itself or just.. another boy dream

TL;DR - Window sweat on only one window, wall water stains (not visible only when looking at angle) all over the house. Tried every suggestion online but humidity still high.
Hello fellow redditors!
Experiencing first full winter in the new home bought last year. As it is getting colder, recently noticed that just one of the bedroom windows “sweat” at night, even when there is nobody in it and the door is closed. Been doing some research and have tried the following without success in eliminating it:-
1) Leaving windows and room doors open - it’s getting really cold, and the window will let the rain enter making the carpet wet. 2) Ventilate during the day - even today where is was mostly bright and sunny, the humidity only went down to 60%, still too high for some websites. 3) Running a dehumidifier - this lowers the humidity, but it goes back up after a while, and it is getting costly. 4) Weatherstripping - I have added some additional weather stripping but it doesn’t seem to work. All other windows do not sweat even without the additional weather stripping.
Windows are single panel with aluminium frame from what I can tell (20-30 year old house). Probably those cheap 2mm window panes. Property probably isn’t very air tight, with halogen lights venting into celling/roof.
Weirdly enough the condensation will usually start on the flyscreen before the actual window condenses. However, I did also notice couple days ago that all the walls seem to have water stains, like condensation has been there before (no marks or anything, but can see it when looking at an angle). Unsure whether this was recent or has been there since before I moved in.
House does get a little frosty, especially when it is really cold outside (like 13°C inside when it is 8°C outside). Humidity does fluctuate during day and night, as high as 80% over wet weekend and as low as 30% in summer.
Have not been turning on central heater because I have not had it cleaned (was planning to decommission it for spilt system units).
Appreciate if anyone’s advice or be pointed in the right direction for this. TIA!

The EXTREMELY detailed, mega-anxiety edition!!! Major events like consult and surgery day are labeled like this:
——— EVENT TITLE ———
Surgeon was Dr. David Whitehead and I saw him on Long Island (New Hyde)
Summarized list of major dates:
Consult: July 19 2023 Mental health letter acquired: August 9 Dates discussed: September 12 Pre-op appointment: December 18 Surgery day: January 8 2024 Post-op: January 17
November 11th 2022: Emailed northwell health for the first time, they emailed back saying to call. I was too anxious so I avoided it for a few months.
Called northwell a few months later but got too anxious talking to the person who picked up. They were being normal and talking normally, it was just personal anxiety on my part.
October 2022 - Early March 2023: Spent time talking to trans friends and family members about their timelines and processes for top surgery.
Looked into Penn medicine for a bit but wasn’t happy with the surgeons there, specifically as a nonbinary person. The patient navigational team however is lovely.
March 2: emailed Penn health patient navigation
March 3-10: correspondence and phone calls w patient navigation (absolutely wonderful people, some of the easiest phone calls I’ve ever had) Got lots of into on surgeons, things I’d need, processes etc.
Date unknown: phone call to Penn medicine asking about surgeons and possibly setting up as a patient (v long wait time on phone) Surgeon I had heard good things about only works w CHOP program and I’m was too old for that program. Other surgeons I was v iffy on.
March 23rd: Back to square 1. Called northwell again to set up an appointment. Everyone I spoke to was really nice. Could have set up an appointment within the week but decided to wait till the end of the semester. Scheduled a trans care and primary care appointment for May
Couple of calls In between for confirmations. Trans care appointment got moved around a bit and ended up being moved to a phone call.
May 8th: Trans care call: Basic preliminary questions like: Emergency contact, what you’re looking for, are you thinking of looking into hormones, experience w dysphoria or dysmorphia, mental health, and eating/nutritional concerns, things you might want doc to know, piercings or tattoos, do you do any drugs or drink often, etc. total call time was about 20 minutes. Doctor was incredibly kind, I still experienced a good deal of anxiety but the call was super easy, welcoming, and friendly. Got sent contact referrals for the surgeons, as well as trans-friendly therapists under my insurance.
May 9th: started looking at list of therapists and making respective emails and calls. Checking per session costs and double checking insurance. Most charge 100-150 per session. Got in contact w one.
May 10th: Called w first therapist talking about what I’m looking for, where I am in this process, if parents are supportive, and talking about costs. She was very friendly and affirming, wants to have a few sessions to get to know me and my situation before writing a letter. Understandable and expected, but frustrating.
May 15th: Primary care appointment: Went to northwell health primary care, parkinglot was a little scary (just a large lot with a lot of cars) but everyone working there’s is super kind. Office is incredibly affirming, pride flags and lgbtq+ art everywhere. Gave my insurance card, filled out some paper work, got called in pretty quickly. I have a needle phobia and medical trauma so I was panicking a bit in the office, nurse was good w me about it and doctor was very kind, I just requested to not have any blood work done that day and that was totally fine, so I could schedule that at a later date and go w a friend. Recommended to get blood work done before scheduling a consult w a surgeon. Also prescribed me a single dose anxiety med for the bloodwork which I was very happy about. I found over time that the anxiety meds unfortunately do little to nothing for my panic attacks personally when it comes to needles but regardless having a doctor acknowledge and respect that fear and listen to me was incredibly helpful and reassuring.
May 30th: Got blood work done in a different lab, went w a friend. Scheduling for that is super easy, I think I did it online actually I don’t entirely recall. they do take walk ins but I made an appointment to minimize complications and make sure I could prepare properly. Front desk/lobby area was a little spooky, but I think that is mainly just bc of my social anxiety. They take a urine sample, you give them your prescription, eventually they call you over for blood work. Quick and easy, tech was v nice and having a friend with me was incredibly helpful. Probably the best I’ve ever done with a needle despite the fact that I did still panic and get very lightheaded lol.
Got blood work results back within the next couple days, all looks a-okay! Neat :)
June 15th This day was incredibly difficult. I had my first session with a therapist to establish some ground knowledge around my dysphoria and the way that I view myself. Top surgery is something that I know from research and related experience Can be difficult and expensive to get and can take time, so much of my prep work has been on the understanding of taking things a step at a time and just knowing that the current way things are doesn’t have to be forever. It allowed me to be able to live with myself while prioritizing my health better. This read to the therapist as “not having the level of dysphoria [she’s] come to expect and look for in someone who is trans” and was largely based off the fact that I don’t want to go on hrt. Past that point I started to break down because now my method of learning to live with myself felt like it was actively going to work against me and prevent me from getting top surgery. I’m not good at talking about my dysphoria, I can’t imagine it’s easy for anyone, especially to a stranger I just met. It was rough, and I felt incredibly mentally drained after ending the session.
June 19th Called it quits with the first therapist, I felt incredibly disrespected and the one session we had put me in a mental spiral for days. It can feel some times in this process like the people you have to get permission from need you to be severely depressed and unable to wait another second for this procedure just in order to take you seriously.
After I left that therapist, I immediately got back to the list to find someone new. Spoke to a new therapist via email, but my insurance is kinda weird (Blue Cross Blue Shield out of state) so its off putting to some people. This therapist recommended I go through the office she started out at (Heart and Soul Counseling)
————- Time Skip ——————
IM BACK its time for some record keeping. Got super overwhelmed and lost the energy to document my process for some time so here goes.
HEART AND SOUL COUNSELING: My experience w/ this therapy office was mostly good. The person in charge, Jesse, was absolutely lovely and responsive. Never spoke in person, but any text/email interaction was prompt, respectful, and kind. The office is stellar with email/text communication, so I only ever had to call them once when I was initially inquiring about the office. This is something I wish all therapy/counseling centers did better, eliminated a ton of my anxiety and hesitation to speak to therapists.
I got set up w someone as quickly as possible and established what my goal was (to acquire letter document for my surgery team). I attended multiple session w the therapist, she was a kind lady but the sessions were unfortunately p miserable for me. We didn’t fit well, but I was willing to stick it out rather than backtrack on my process. She also did not invalidate me or accuse me of not being trans which was a major step up from my first therapy experience. Once I acquired my letter I did stop therapy there, I kindly explained to the therapist that it wasn’t a good match, but I may honestly explore my options at the office in the future. Receptionist there was also lovely and they had a cool fish tank.
———- CONSULT STARTS HERE —————
July 19th: CONSULT!!! My mama and I went to Dr. David Whiteheads office for a consult. Parking was a nightmare so I’m super glad I didn’t have to drive for this one (ty mama). Consult went really well, and the staff were all super friendly. Dr. Whitehead is cool, very chill energy and a bit intimidating, but I’m scared of everyone so that’s nothing new. First question he asked me is what I wanted/what he could do for me which caught me more off guard than it should have? I didn’t realize going into this process how many times people ask you what you’re having done even if it’s already written down, because there’s so much variety in what you can look for in the results.
We talked about the procedure, went through a slideshow n stuff, and discussed how I wanted a flat chest w/ no nipple preservation. They made sure to specify that my mental health professional letter had to include that I did not want nipple preservation because thats technically a “non-standard” appearance. Also had the first breast exam I’ve ever had in my life. Can’t say i’m a fan (not that I need to worry about that anymore!) Took pictures n measurements n such, and also discussed recovery supplies and care w me and my mom.
August 9th: After a plethora of painfully awkward therapy sessions, a decent amount of crying, and a couple breakdowns in friends cars/backyards, I got my therapist letter and sent it to the surgeons office. It ended up needing minor revisions to which I contacted Jesse from Heart and Soul and he got me the revised letter immediately. Unfortunately the surgical coordinator was out of office for the rest of the month the next day ;w;. Is how it be.
September 12th: Got a call from Surgical coordinator mid-painting class that I stepped out to take. Started discussing surgical dates!! She was kind enough to email the dates to me which was lovely because I was absolutely shaking/mind blank haha. There was an option for January 8th which felt like an absolute miracle the way it would work with my school schedule. It would give me a solid two weeks recovery time before spring semester began. Because it would be a couple months out, I was asked to contact her in the second week of October to submit documents to insurance.
(Timeline note: earliest date offered was in early December)
October 10th: Documents sent to insurance, predetermination started
October 30th: Received mail from my insurance approving my procedure as medically necessary (YAY) But! This is also where things get,,, fun! Dr Whitehead’s surgical coordinator, Alyssa, is a blessing and was very helpful and prompt with me despite the fact that I had to email her pretty constantly during this general time which I still feel bad about.
Around this time, my mom got diagnosed with breast cancer, which I reported to the surgical coordinator because it influences my family history (grandmother also had breast cancer). It was asked that I get genetic testing done because this could impact my surgical procedure. Now I’m handling the setup on this between helping my mom in her process setting up consults and considering her options because there of course is a lot of crossover to the steps I’ve already completed and am familiar with.
November 1st: Very kind person at cancer genetics calls me, sends me a family history questionnaire to fill out before I can be scheduled to see a genetic counselor. Filled out the questionnaire the same day.
November 8th: Called cancer genetics to check about scheduling, office was not open so left a message. Got a call back later in the day. I have a virtual appointment with a Genetic counselor Tuesday the 14th. Current plan is a mailed saliva genetic test but I’m going to ask if theres anything I can do to get results/materials quicker. If I can’t get results/feedback by December 8th my surgery date may get deferred.
Trying not to stress too much because there is little to nothing I can do about this, and I just don’t want to be sad. I’ve kept telling myself throughout this process to not get excited and not let myself believe anything is solid because something could happen at any time that might mess up my schedule or plan, and If I convince myself I’m in the clear, those changes will hurt a lot more. So far I think thats been a good move, because this really sucks.
My surgery date is still officially scheduled as of now as well as my first post-op. I will also ideally have pre-surgical testing done December 18th should I be cleared by genetics in time (Fingers crossed!)
ALSO! Def lean on friends if/when you can during this process. It can absolutely be challenging, and having a support system is incredibly important and helpful. I’m super lucky to have really lovely and supportive friends that are around to listen to me and send me pictures of stupid little animals.
November 9th: My mama is scheduled for her double mastectomy on December 4th
November 10th: Did some shopping with my mama for recovery supplies for double mastectomy/top surgery. Having watched a million and a half transition/top surgery videos and tiktoks and having read all the blogs and posts and tweets makes you a great support for someone suddenly faced with an upcoming double mastectomy! We might go shopping this weekend for some button ups and zip ups for her, clothes shopping is better done when you can try stuff on
November 14th: Meeting w genetic counselor: Victoria Webb, one of the loveliest medical care workers I’ve ever met. Had a virtual appointment with her to discuss and set up genetic testing. I explained to her about my situation w the proximity of my surgery and tight deadline as well as my willingness to do a blood test instead of a saliva kit to get results quicker. She was so incredibly kind and good with me, ended up being able to do a saliva kit and get results in time she deserves every good thing in life.
December 18th: pre-surgical testing: This was at the main hospital, everyone was really nice but I had a really bad panic attack despite being on Xanax.
The process is sort of like getting a physical. Measurements like weight and blood pressure get taken, lots of preliminary health questions. The people working with me were really kind and I was very open with them about my anxiety, it was visually apparent though anyway because I started crying the second we even started talking about the blood draw.
Once the equipment was actually brought into the room I started to panic. Both of the women working with me were really kind and helpful and tried to distract me and keep me talking the entire time, but I did still have a really horrible panic attack. Every muscle in my body locked up and I lost all my color, took a bit to get back to a spot where I could move and talk properly because my speech was affected too. It was a bit scary but funny to think about in post. Thanked the medical staff for being patient w me as always, a good portion of the anxiety is also guilt about making things harder for them. Got through it tho. Def eat before presurgical if allowed, I didn’t and that probably didn’t help!!
———- SURGERY DAY ————-
January 8th:
Ok so surgery day:
This day was very scary. Got my phone call the Friday prior for my surgery time which ended up being 1pm and I was asked to arrive around 11. Got there at 10 and went in at 10:30.
Called up to check in then in waiting room till someone brought me back to change. I told her right away about my anxiety with the iv bc that’s legit all I could think about. Got changed right after. I was generally shaky and a little disoriented the entire time because I was panicking but everyone was very patient with me. Clothes and belongings go in a bag in a locker and you get two gowns one that faces back and one that faces front. I was given underwear and a pad as well because lucky me I got my period a couple days before my surgery.
The pre-op area is a lot of little cubicles with curtain divider things, blue soft chairs, and medical equipment. Everyone I met and spoke to was very kind, but any time someone even suggested starting my iv I would panic. I was informed it would have to be placed in my hand and that terrified me, I’m especially anxious and sensitive about my hands and fingers. I think doctors and nurses tend to misunderstand exactly where my fear is with needles and ivs. It isn’t the pain that scares me, but the concept of veins and and anything being in them. Even writing this right now is horrible so I’m going to stop w any further detail. I spent the entire two-ish hours of pre-op absolutely terrified about this iv.
I wasn’t really keeping track of time but dr whitehead came in to do markings for surgery. They had cool rainbow socks on,big fan. Having your chest drawn on and just like, moved around n shit is such an experience. Felt bad because I kept losing my balance but doctor Whitehead is cool and I am 98% less scared about them now.
Probably my most favorite person I met during my entire hospital experience was the anesthesiologist. I know he told me what his name was but I couldn’t focus on or retain information at the time. He told me we could essentially put me to sleep with gas before putting the iv in and for the first time in probably a solid week I felt like I could calm down a little. He took a look at my hand and arm to check my veins which always does freak me out a bit but I’m more used to that kind of thing at this point and I know nothing bad is going to happen. One of the nurses came in with the iv equipment and he let her know that were going to wait till in the or which was also incredibly helpful because I absolutely panicked when I saw that little supply kit again.
V nice lady brought me into the or, I’d never been in one before it was cool. They had a little music speaker which was really cool. Took off blue jacket gown and they helped me onto the table. They put a warm blanket over my legs and my chest to help me calm down. Before long they gave me a mask w fun happy sleepy time gas, they let me keep my arms on my chest for a while which was really nice because I was still scared. I started getting loopy pretty fast but I still heard when someone mentioned where the iv equipment was and panicked a little because of that. I remember feeling them take my hand for that but never actually felt anything happen. Just some fear but the gas was v helpful obvi. Someone said they would see me in a little bit, and then I was groggily waking up in recovery.
Recovery was a little rough bc the iv was still there (fully wrapped up so I couldn’t see it though which was rad) but I was still really anxious about it until it was taken out and when it was taken out. For anyone that struggles w this i did not feel them remove it, just the tape. Everything was mentally much easier after that. After a while, going over instructions w parents, a cracker , some ginger ale and some juice, my dad helped me Get dressed and I was helped out to the car in a wheel chair. Ride was smooth bc of remaining numbness and meds except a few Bumps in the road
TOP SURGERY GOTTEN
My post op date was scheduled for Jan 17th and that’s the day I got my drains out followed by several post op check-ins. First week of recovery was miserable but things exponentially approved each day past that, and I went back to school in person two weeks post-op with driving and item-carrying assistance from friends!
Will upload recovery notes at a later date! Feel free to message me with any questions, more than happy to answer and give info! I’m a bit over four months out from surgery now and thriving 🥳

So I (15 f) have a friend(15 f) let's call her lily. Lily and I have been friends for about a year and a half but I still regard her as one of my closest friends. For a big of context, lily has gotten 2 boyfriends in the past term (lets call the first one ben and the second one james), and then recently a boy who likes her came into the picture (lets call him dave).
So, the story starts with lily texting me last night saying this "(my name) I’m not trying to start anything even though I don’t like (the boy that likes her) it’s still annoying that you add every guy I talk too so can you stop doing that please I’m not mad or anything but it js pisses me off a bit sorry". So, basically she's mad at me because I added her boyfriends and a guy who liked her on snapchat(the guy who liked her added me first).
I didn't add them because I liked them or anything of the sort, I added them because I like to have lots of friends on snapchat. That's all
In hindsight, when replying to this I was quite defensive, which I regret, but still didn't understand how i was in the wrong. Later, I texted her saying this "Hey lily, I wanted to talk about what happened with adding the people you're talking to on snapchat. I genuinely want to understand how you're feeling about it. Can we have a chat about it?", she then replied yes.
After some thought as to what I would say, I asked her how it made me feel when I added the boys she was talking to. She then said it was weird that I felt the need to add them and talk to them (I barely talked to them) and that it pissed her off. I then gave my reasons as to why I added them and apologized if I made her feel some type of way.
I was ready to leave it in the past, however, I'm an overthinker and I feel that I can't just forgive and forget. I don't add them because I like them or anything, I just add them to add them. I also want to know if she's going through anything right now because the original message was out of the blue. am I the asshole?

This is the 2nd dream I've had of myself turning into an evil entity
The first dream I had when I was 17, 2 years ago. I was sleeping and woke up on my back to see myself sitting on my desk at the end of my room. All the lights in my room where on and it felt safe. I spoke with myself about things I don't remember and we laughed. Then this figure who was me kept laughing and laughing and the room got darker and darker with only a red light that seemed to radiate on the figures face. I lunged at it and threw it to the floor and we fought and it started clawing at me and blood covered my hands and face
I ran to my parents and they dismissed me acting like I wasn't even there. I woke up bed. It was a false awakening.
I turned over and closed my eyes only to open them to be standing in front of an old hospital and a voice calling me as i rose into the air and I started crying and saying NO until the voice dropped me. I felt my knees ache and the dirt under my hands. I looked at my hands and saw the blood from the previous dream mixed with the dirt from the ground on my hands.
I woke up ONCE AGAIN and just tried to steady my breathing. I opened my eyes to be standing in an empty field with a single tree I just closed my eyes and when I woke up this time I was covered in sweat. I walked to my parents room and i just cried and cried while my mom held me and I asked her if this was reality
I managed to get past these dreams and sort of accept that I'll never understand them.
The problem is last night I had a dream in a similar vain. I saw myself. It looked as though I was staring at myself in a mirror. He was laughing and looking at me as well. His skin slowly started to go bleach white and his hair grew and grew until it covered his eyes and he just kept laughing and smiling.
I woke up in a cold sweat and ran to my mom and she calmed me down.
I know this dream sounds silly and normally at my big age I'd laugh it off and go back to bed. The problem is that I've seen that man before. The man I became in my dream.
When I was younger I was at a church camp and I went inside the church alone to get something while everyone was outside. I saw a man with bleach white skin and long hair laughing and calling to me. They found me inside and said I had been seizing. Haven't had a seizure before or since.
It's like when I see myself in these dreams, it's as if I'm being lured into a false sense of security and when I drop my guard this thing that appears as me, the person I'm most comfortable with, it reveals itself. It feels like a completely separate being to myself.
I'm worried if this means something and I really hope it doesn't. My friend thinks something is either trying to scare me or trying to posses me. My mom thinks something has been attached to me since I was younger and I'm just a bit worried and scared.

Idk if this question was ever asked, But i kinda thought about it after seeing most of Telltale games, Like Batman, Guardians of the Galaxy and Walking Dead with the chosen main character, But i'm kinda surprised that Spiderman doesn't have that kind of thing.
Idk if it's about rights and who owns the character, But i say he deserves to have his own Telltale game as most of Spiderman's franchises with characters, Plots, Story expansions and more are so well developed while also tends to have bad sides to his sufferings. The tons of choices you can do with both Peter Parker and Spiderman depending on the actions you choose can create some strange fates of paths and consequences. Not to mention that Peter has so many girls to have head over heels for, Just imagine how you choose who will be your girlfriend and friend while eventually have to come with one choice as you can't choose both.
Then of course after making a choice it will pop a notification stating ("The Character" Will remember that). The story could start in Episode 1 where as usual Peter Parker having a straight normal school days before the radioactive spider part but more extended, Can even have a scene what Peter does when he suffocates a bit of illness side effect and have choices like go to the infirmary or go home and more. The Episode 1 can end also where Peter chase down the burglar who killed his Uncle Ben and then when reaching to that point, You get the option if you should spare and arrest him or kill him.
Especially when it comes to Peter Parker as you could make him act in a way he doesn't act like that before, Just like with Batman Telltale with a bunch of choices in interactions that can make his character act different depending what you choose. Can have a friendly Peter or a more rebelious Peter on edge.
Any thoughts?

I have a lot of mixed feelings about the past and it's easy to assume the things that were said and done to me will happen again.
It started long before you screwed someone your brothers wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole. You were always an immature, nasty, selfish, insecure, drain on me.
I deserve to have a nice time and I don't want to spend the rest of my life going through the hell I experienced. before. I don't deserve that. I'm a flawed human being... but I don't deserve that.
I have some good memories, but an equal amount of bad ones. I want to see how peaceful things can be before I proceed, and honestly, I'm not excited about it.

My ex girlfriend who physically abused me for years resulting in permanent facial disfigurement is back. After I cut contact with her, she went off-line for a very long time. I had a feeling she would be back because she’s a vengeful type.
To be honest, I deserved it. I’m a trans man and she dated me. I found out later she had trauma associated with mad to the point she was triggered by anyone who looked even remotely masculine. It’s still my fault. I should’ve been able to figure out based off some of the things she said in the early days that this would be a problem, but I didn’t. Right now, based off some of the things she said, in the early days, it’s very clear that she had trauma associated with men, particularly bisexual men like me. There are things she said in the early days that made this very clear now in retrospect, but back then I didn’t pick up on it because I’m a fucking douche bag. Yes, she chose to pursue me, but I should’ve turned her down.
Things got serious she moved in with me. That was when she actually told me about her trauma. She wanted me to do transition, I didn’t want to. I wasn’t even on hrt at the time But they were many things about me that were masculine that made her uncomfortable. For instance, my voice has always been very deep to the point of my mom, someone who also has trauma associated with men to the point of hating all of them and thinking they’re all evil, hit me in the face over it too. But I can’t blame either of them for it. They are frightened women and they have full right to hit anybody who makes them feel unsafe.
I thought I would never see her again, but unfortunately she’s back in my life. I ran onto her Facebook account the other day. She also cyber stalked me for about a year after we broke up and called me a lot. I disappeared for a while before resurfacing, and I thought I was OK. I don’t think I am though because I’ve been getting a lot of funny phone calls recently from a number with a Michigan area code. It’s not her number, but she could’ve changed it, and she is the only person I know from Michigan.
I can’t prove it, but I’m a little worried she may have been trying to reach me when I was at a hotel a few days ago. Early in the morning, like 5 AM, I received a phone call on the phone they have in the room. I picked up And all I heard was breathing and they hung up. That one didn’t have caller ID on it, so I don’t know who called me, but I’ve been on edge ever since.

hi all! i'm a teenager in my 3rd year of high school and am thoroughly confused. in year 10, covid was ending but we were still coming back to school very slowly. i became friends with this girl in my class who is really popular.
in my school, or, in my life, popular people are friends with popular people. i am not popular. i have my little group of friends that i'm happy with at school and then outside i have a different one. at first i thought it was because we rly had no one else to hang out with, but even when school started full-time we continued to be good friends.
one more thing? she's barely close to anyone. she has friends, and she's really scary, but she's always stood up for me and claims me to be her closest/best friend. i just don't get it. it's the weirdest thing because i really doubted my friendship with her, she was known to be this person who would talk about her friends behind their back or even lightly insult them. she also has a ton of influence in our city.
but she never talked about me behind my back or anything. even at school, when people metion her and everyone goes "she's mean to everyone basically" they always say she's never mean to me.
to add to the mix, she lies to me a lot, and not in the way that she lies that i look good when i dont or stuff like that. she makes up stuff about her life.
like, she has this "boyfriend" who i really don't think is real, it's a long story but 1000% sure (it'll take a while for me to explain why) that on multiple occasions she's faked being busy and "given him the phone" to speak to me while being her the whole time.
at the end of the day, i guess i just think it's kind of cool that she makes up all this stuff so elaborately, pretending to be multiple people all just to message me of all people...?
honestly have no clue what to make of this situation. because she has stayed up all night multiple times being these different people and it's just so... odd.
would love any advice any of u have to offer!!

Okay so let me start out by saying I LOVE helldivers 2. I pre-ordered the game and have been having a blast since day one. I could go on for days about what is wonderful about the game but there is a serious issue that needs to be addressed: THE SOCIAL MENU.
My friend accidentally unfriended me when trying to invite me to a game and now we can’t find eachother nomatter what we do. We messaged arrowhead and received (essentially) a message saying that it’s a known issue and they are “working on it.”
Every patch notes I’ve seen on the discord has listed the social menu issues as a “known issue.” IT’S BEEN MONTHS. It’s a MENU.
What I’m gathering is that they can drop a new warbond EVERY month no problem, with new guns, and new armors, grenades, everything… but they cannot seem to fix a MENU.
It’s LAZY. I know they are a small team, but they expect me to pay money for new content when they don’t even have the base build at a usable level?
I’m also not the only one either. Google it and you will find that MANY people can’t play with loved ones or friends because of these issues which arrowhead refuses to care about.
Everyone had so much passion and drive with the PSN drama, Where is the passion when it comes to holding Arrowhead accountable for simply having a playable game at the core levels?!

David Sanborn passed away yesterday — sometimes I feel like he played alto sax on 50% of everything I loved in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Even if it was just a few bars on then outro, you knew who it was.
I was a band kid in high school — tenor sax — so was very aware of when he turned up pretty much everywhere. I’m not crazy about indulging too much in mourning the passing of things in my youth — that would be a full-time job at this point and not much fun — but every so often I just go Wow because Sanborn was just Always There, usually in the background, keeping it all solid.
His passing reminded me of his crazily improbable network TV show “Night Music” that ran for a couple seasons in the very late 1980s. I remember watching it in the wee hours when I first moved to NYC, in our tiny apartment. If you’ve never seen this show or have forgotten about it, it’s a real treat and it’s here
I specifically remember being introduced to Indigo Girls, of all people, via this show. We live within walking distance of The Beacon Theatre, and got tickets to one of their shows there not too long after their Night Music appearance. Being a little clueless, it took me a minute to figure out why the vast majority of the audience were female. I remember Michael Stipe of REM coming up on stage to sing backing vocals on Kid Fear, as he did on their first album.
It’s funny the rich fabric of memories that show up when I wake up a bit too early.
Anyway, if you’ve never seen Night Music, I encourage you pick an episode at random and put it on with a cup of coffee or a scotch and enjoy.

I have a weird issue that started out of nowhere. I was working on a project with a movie playing on my second monitor, I noticed the dialogue was really quiet. Checked a different movie I had watched yesterday and dialogue is quiet there too. So I pipe the sound through my headphones, same problem, pipes it through the monitor still quiet dialogue. I boosted the center channel in Kodi and it makes no difference. I didn’t change anything on my system, I was just working in Houdini. Restarted the computer, same issue. I’m all out of ideas, it’s definitely not a hardware issue since it persists through headphones too. Anyone encounter something like this? It’s like my center channel just disappeared.

My situation is a tricky one and it’s been giving me horrible panic attacks to the point where I do not feel real anymore. To keep it short my family is incredibly poor and dysfunctional and my aunt recently had a bipolar episode and move close by only making things worse. I haven’t been getting along with nt siblings as my sister an I planned to move out and she surely switched up on me for her boyfriend, despite knowing how it would make me feel. We have to move out as we have lived in emergency homelessness housing our whole life and earn too much to stay. My issue is I cannot afford anywhere and would have to move into my dads place 2 hrs away. This would mean I would have start over completely and break up with my 2 yr bf who I love and thought I was going to marry. I explain to him the situation but I don’t he understands. My quality of life living here is so shit as a I have very little support. I cry on the bus home thinking about coming home and dealing with everything. I feel myself sinking into a depression again because of having to manage finances etc. Although if I moved with mt dad none of this is an issue. I would be able to afford uni no problem and enjoy my life and actually have savings. I feel selfish for wanting to but I feel as if I don’t have a choice because I’m earning too much anyway. I just don’t have any support and I have no idea what the right choice is.

I finally moved out MNParent house after so long of waiting, been pain with Ikia construction and getting my things in one place it’s great parents on holiday so I can do multiple trips with out there aura.
I have been thinking of going low/limited contact but it feel daunting, and my main issue is the car and that they will know my address when I have to add my new address to car insurance.
I am hoping to get back into job hunting to find staty higher income so I can one day afford my own car and insurance to be completely independent from their wimms.
Well it been good so far and feel less stressful then I have ever been at old place. I can’t wait to hopefully get therapy so I can start my healing and improve who I am and to become me once more.
Still feel foggy and groggy. I was told it take time to settle into new place.

I have some clothes that aren’t hot wash, tumble dryer or iron friendly that I really don’t want to ruin or throw away. Currently in sealed bags. Can’t afford a dry cleaner nor would I want to spread the problem into someone’s business.
Any ideas on what to do with them? I haven’t found any actual bbs as of yet but signs point to them so taking every precaution. Also idk what to do with shoes - they can’t go in the high heat either. I can’t afford to throw all my things away or replace everything, nor do i want to.
For the things I can iron, is that enough?
And special things like photo albums…I guess the only option is to vacuum and put them into sealed storage for 400 days?
Sorry for all the Qs. Grateful for any tips from people who managed to keep a lot of their stuff and still get rid of the bbs.

Hello
25F, 130lbs, 5’10”, no tobacco, MMJ user, hydrocodone and oxyxodone as needed, cyclobenzaprine, protonix
If you read this thank you so much because I’m absolutely desperate and my doctors are tired of me and I think they think I only want pain meds. I don’t, I just want to feel better. I have a huge stash of emergency oxycodone anyway so I barely even need them for that.
On 12/15 I fell down the stairs and hit the lower of my middle back quite hard. 12/19 I had a LEEP done, 01/06 I came down with extreme urinary issues and between then and now have been back 6 times, seen 4 specialists and have seen my PCP at least ten times for urine samples. I’ve also only been able to attend my full time job for 43 days so far this year and have no more money for copays and if it weren’t for my ADA paperwork, I’d have been fired a long time ago
Over the last two weeks, it’s been taking me up to two hours to produce urine while having a full (and very sore - mostly left side) bladder. This is infuriating. When I do end up finally feeling the need to release, I have less than 3 minutes to get to a restroom before my vision starts going spotty from the bladder pressure pain.
My urologist ordered a cystoscopy, but has been blaming my 3mm kidney stone until I begged for an ultrasound last month of my bladder. Found bladder wall thickening and bladder cyst / possible urachal remnant.
I found out what Cuada equina is today. I learned that it is very very commonly missed. I can barely walk, and at the music festival I went to over the weekend I had to use ADA for just about everything. I look completely normal so I got judged pretty hard, but I do have paperwork. I have been losing weight without much diet change and my back has been killing me as well. I feel so weak. My urine flow is so small compared to what it used to be. I had a period of time where the pain was so bad, I couldn’t feel my clitoris or labia at all so sex was pointless as well, and I thought I’d lose my relationship and be alone forever. They send me to an OB-Oncologist who said not to come back, which is why my urologist finally agreed to check my bladder.
Is it possible that all my issues are related to the cyst and thickening, or could this be cuada equina that was missed on multiple CT’s? I can’t find info on bladder cysts. using retention. When is the appropriate time to go to the hospital? I can barely walk without pain meds. I urinated about 40 times on Saturday, with my usual being 10-20 times, and some days there’s very little pain or urgency at all, but the retention is almost always there to some extent.
It almost feels like the part of my brain that controls my bladder doesn’t work anymore because no matter how hard I tell my bladder to release, it just doesn’t happen sometimes and I can’t get comfortable after that. I’ve slept a total of 4 hours since Saturday morning and I only have one hydrocodone left. Pyridium does NOTHING except for when burning pain presents, and I can’t take NSAIDS until my GI clears me due to extreme gas, constipation and bloating / belching thought to be caused by peptic ulcers. I can’t walk at this point without pain meds, but the ER always releases me with the same DX of cyst and bladder wall thickening and tells me they have no clue what that means. But I’m in so much pain I feel like there has to be something they can do other than give me fluids and monitor me for an hour or two until I can get to my cystoscopy next week.
If you have any advice for me I really appreciate it. I don’t want to die but I feel the only way out of lifelong urinary pain after 6 months now is suicide. The only time suicide doesn’t cross my mind a couple times is when I do end up having to take a pain pill. In March, I had to take oxy every day. I only take them now when I can’t walk because the effects are too strong for me to keep my life in order while taking them every day. But this weekend I have had the most trouble walking, and using the restroom, since all of these issues began.
I can’t afford any more specialists visits after my procedure, so I really wish the ER could do something for me as they’re the only ones who won’t turn me away for not having money at this point. My GI doc actually canceled my appointment because I don’t have $20 and I’ve been putting off another ultrasound because it’s $200 up front. IDK what to do but I’m pretty sure this is how a lot of people end up on fent and heroin - if I had been denied pain meds this far I would have turned to the streets, and that’s coming from someone who has chosen - on their own - to quit most drug related and extracurricular activities to better their life at a young age and is much happier for it.
I can’t even get the ER to catheterize me when I can’t urinate for 6+ hours at a time. What gives? Why won’t they run a different imaging test? They wouldn’t even give me a breath test for h pylori recently and now I’m waiting a month for an appointment I can’t even afford.
TL;DR extreme bladder pain, nobody understands why, extreme difficulty urinating, ER can’t do anything for me and awaiting surgery. Is there anything I can say or do to get proper medical attention or can the ER really not touch your bladder like they say? Is there a way I can convince them to admit me so I could see a urologist before my procedure? My urologist is unavailable until my follow-up and I don’t think the company they work for allows them to Rx narcotics and I’m against taking more than 1 oxycodone a week at this point but so far have been unsuccessful in getting something weaker like hydro or tramadol.
