Esurance online dating girl

Couple questions…

• I plan to install custom firmware and play some native Vita3K games as well as stream some moonlight and remote play games but my question is how does streaming newer games work with only one left and right trigger?
  
• I understand that the WiFi on this thing is pretty dated, how do speeds hold up by todays standards? Are they acceptable or extremely annoying if you’re used to 5G speeds?
  
• If I plan to keep original firmware for a bit, have servers been killed for online games? I want to try buying a couple digital games like Street Fighter X Tekken as well as MK9 in order to play some online matches before committing to custom firmware.
  

Thank you

I 21M met this girl 21F right at the end of the school year and I think we really hit it off. I really enjoy texting her and facetiming her and we share lots of similar interests and hold the same values. I really like talking to her and I think she’s really funny on top of being absolutely beautiful. The problem is that she is back home for the summer (which is 4hrs away from me) and we’ve only been able to text, facetime, and play games online together.
I know that the best way to make a girl disinterested is to keep things online and never meet up in person so I asked her to hang out in a month when she came back for a week. Things are going well and I think that we share the same feelings about each other as well which is great. We’re always very flirty with each other and we’ve both shown clear intentions of possibly wanting to be more than friends one day. The thing is that one day when we were texting she brings up the idea of me driving over and meeting up with her to hang out. I got excited at the idea of seeing her so I said yes, and asked her if she’d be willing to meet me at a city nearby to her (which was an hour away from her) as a sort of “meet halfway” (even though I’d still be driving 3 hours.) And she said she would love to, even calling off of work that day to hang out with me.
I think she also really likes me back and I’m looking forward to seeing her but I just can’t help but think that I might have done the wrong thing. In the moment I wasn’t thinking about this but we’ve really only known each other for a little over 2 weeks. And this act of driving so far to see her might reek of desperation. I just feel like I should have just waited for our meet up in a month instead of trying to hang out as soon as possible like I did here. Not to mention that we’d be hanging out from 2-8pm which is a lot of time and maybe too much.
I just really like this girl and I feel like she’s really special so I don’t want to miss out on the chance to connect with her since text and facetime only interactions might get boring.
Edit: Title was badly worded, I already made the plans but I’m unsure if I should have. Is my situation with this girl ruined?

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

• Gaming. Triple A games, minecraft, retro, indie, if it can be played on a PC I'm interested. Ideally, this build could last for many years before needing any upgrades.

What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

• $2000 CAD is what I'm aiming for, but there's some wiggle room if it goes a little over.

When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

• As soon as possible. Happy to wait if need be.

What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (ToweOS/monitokeyboard/mouse/etc)

• Need tower, OS, and wifi card. Have monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

• Ontario, Canada. Plenty of Canada Computers around me.

If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

• Monitors are both ASUS. Main monitor is a VG248 (DisplayPort), while my secondary is an oldy (VH236H - HDMI) but still going strong. Happy to upgrade if need be. Keyboard and mouse are both Corsair and hardwired. Already own headset, microphone, and speakers.

Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

• No.

Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

• Larger storage if possible for Steam library.

Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-towefull-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

• My old rig is a mid-tower and black so keeping with that style works best for my setup. Anything/everything else I'm open to changing/adding.

Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

• I do need one. No preference, but I suspect Windows 11 is the best option?

Extra info or particulars:

• Current setup requires decent wifi so whatever would be best suited for online gaming/Discord. Router I'm using is an ASUS AC1900.

Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber have been married for 6-7 years now, and recently, Hailey became pregnant. Now, some people say Hailey is Justin's second choice. However, since they've been together for so long now, and he actually built his life with her: Will she always be considered second choice? Obviously, she might not even have been second choice anyway, since we don't know the situation, or how Justin is feeling, I'm just asking a hypothetical question.
Or I watched Love is Blind, and there Zach chose the "wrong" woman. He didn't properly know Irena or Bliss, and he wrongly chose Irena, who was cruel and mean. He ended up regretting his choice, and asked for a second chance with Bliss. They ended up married, and have stayed together. They later talked about being second choice, and Bliss said she felt like she was, but Zach argued he loved her the most, and he would never chose Irena over her if she came back. He basically argued that he wasn't settling. And I suppose what he said was true: I don't think he's settling, but technically, she's still second choice, since he didn't chose her first. Do you think being second choice and settling is the same? Do you think the reasons Zach chose Irina has any relevance, like that he didn't know any of them that well?
I watched Single's Inferno, and there Seulki has to chose between Jongwoo and Jinyoung. It's obvious she's crushing on Jinyoung, and it's him who is her first choice. However, Jinyoung gives her mixed signals, and isn't clear he will chose her, so she ends up choosing Jongwoo instead. In this situation, this sub would say Jinyoung is second choice if they ever dated, because Jongwoo was chosen. But if you watched the series, it was obvious she liked him the most. Does it matter that she didn't chose him, because he was so unclear?
I saw a situation like this IRL with my friend: B pursued A. A gave B mixed signals, and treated him like a hookup. They didn't talk for a while, except flirting a little when they saw each other. And then B found someone else, and A said she was interested after all, but B rejected her because he was with with C. B dated C seriously for a couple of years, but when they broke up, he ended up dating A. And now they've been together for a couple of years, and want to get married. Is anyone in this situation a second choice? He dated them both seriously.
Also saw a situation where a girl dated a guy, but he ghosted her for a couple of months, but then came back. Here, people would say she's the backup. But now they've been together for many years, and a really serious. Is she still second choice?
My question:

• Are people second choice forever?
  
• Even if you've been together many years, and now love each other, and wouldn't chose someone else?
  
• What makes someone second choice?
  
• Does the reasons someone is wasn't chosen matter?
  
• Is settling and being second choice the same?
  
• Can people chose "wrong" the first time, or can a person become first choice?

I'm a high school sophomore who isn't quite sure what I want to focus on/am interested in specifically yet. I go to a rigorous high school so I have good background knowledge for most subjects, but I have a lot of interests and don't really know what I want to go into. Given that, over the summer, I am looking to do some programs where I can learn more about different fields, especially STEM, which I know less about. I found out about this thing called the Athena Fellowship--it's supposed to be for high school girls who want to learn more about STEM/careers in STEM from current undergraduate, graduate, or recently graduated female students. The cost is $875 for 4 weeks of this program. While trying to figure out summer opportunities, I have come across a lot of posts saying that paid programs are scams or are not impressive (although that is not my top priority here). This is a new program so I can't find anything about it online. Given the (comparatively) low charge and (apparent) legitimacy of the mentors they show on the website, I am slightly less wary, although still skeptical.
If those of you who are more experienced with this type of stuff could look at the website (https://www.athenafellowship.org/summer-2024) and lmk if it looks sketchy or not that would be super helpful! Also, if you think this is a waste of my time, please tell me. I have some other stuff going on this summer (teaching at a debate camp and doing some tutoring/other community service, as well as self-studying for some APs), so I want to know if this is worth it or not.

TL;DR: Late April i contacted my ex for closure but i didn’t receive it. Now this past Friday he messaged me for closure
He messaged me saying he was sorry for what he did to me, and saying how he understood what he did was wrong and how he thought he did what he had to do in that situation.
(He broke up with me randomly and dated a girl two weeks after)
I didn’t accept his apology because what he did was not okay. But we talked it out and agreed to be friends.
He added me on instagram again and on his account he was only following four people. Me, his band account, a girl named R. And his sister.
An hour after he added me on instagram again the girl named R had seen my story. I found it odd since i wouldn’t go and check someones story randomly.
So i ask him who that was and he said that was his friend and tattoo artist. I didn’t push it because its not my business but she kept on viewing my stuff and i had to ask.
When i asked he then said that was his “Talking Stage” i felt weird since im his ex and theres no reason for him to be talking with me. He then revealed that he had been trying to contact me since May 5th but i never received any messages.
I told him that it was not loyal of him to be reaching out to me and that we shouldn’t talk anymore. Then he said that he would always view me as a friend and that if i ever needed someone to talk to he would be there. That im still his friend even if he is not my friend.
Id do anything to get back with him but i dont want to interfere in any relations of his.

I started talking to this guy and we hit it off on our first date. We already planned a second date. It’s the work week and we both r busy and he’s really sick rn so he hasn’t been texting. I feel really insecure. Idk why. He texted me twice today. He’s doing everything right.
I just have this voice in the back of my mind that he’s talking to other people (which is tech ok since we aren’t exclusive yet). My self esteem is so bad and I feel like if he isn’t constantly bombarding with messages or a nightly/morning phone call then he’s not into me.
I’m fairly new to dating and in my first few relationships, my exes would get obsessed with me. This guy gives me attention but he isn’t obsessed and it’s giving me anxiety.
I know it’s healthy to not be obsessed and to start slow. Idk how to calm my anxiety down. I don’t even want to talk to other ppl but I’m forcing myself to talk to other people online because I want to make sure if he loses interest, I’ll be alright.
Does anyone have any tips? I am pretty busy all day. It’s 9 pm and I’m still working. But negative thoughts r at the back of my mind and not helping.

Hiya :3
My name is Kyle and I am a 19 year old Femboy. I have a few toys and femboy outfits and enjoy femdom (specifically mommydom).
I am looking for a caring mommydom that is interested in something long term with the possibility of a relationship. I am extremely loyal to my domme and enjoy being told what to do even in daily tasks such as what to eat/how to dress. Although I am also open to short term. Preferably this would be an irl relationship but I am okay with doing something online.
Goth girls are an absolute plus but not required, everyone is welcome! Gamers are also preferred as well as anyone who is fit or muscular or over 6'0. Ofc none of these aspects are required since I only care about personality, I am just really into people with these traits.
I have dark brown hair that is long and have very beautiful curls. I wear glasses and have green eyes. (I also have dimples' my body type is best described as fit but not super muscular. I suppose it would be considered very twinkish lol. I also tend to be shaven everywhere and have smooth skin. My thighs are a lil squishy and I have been told that I have a girl's butt.
My hobbies are gaming, working out, skiing, magic, tabletop games, biking, hiking, camping, singing, and making music. If you are also a gamer, l'd be super interested to know what you play.
I look forward to hearing from a few lovely people :3

season 9, episode 175, holly j sneaks declan into the school for a date when she literally works at the dot and could’ve just asked spinner if she’d allow him to be there after hours??? and it doesn’t even go her way, she ends up storming off ??? girl use that brain of yours!!!!!
edit: THEY GET CAUGHT???? GIRL!!!!

(F) here sick of all these dating apps, as many of us are. I am not the most confident person but trying to be more adventurous. Guys, if a girl were to give you a compliment or call you cute or handsome or whatever, and you weren’t necessarily attracted to that woman, would you still be flattered? Trying to put myself out there but don’t want to make a fool of myself lol

TW: detailed SA
To preface this, I was manipulated and abused by a boy when I was 13. During this time my mom abandoned me with my dad and I was in an extremely vulnerable position emotionally. I had just left foster care as well and had really never experienced real love or attention.
That was until I met a boy in my grade(7th grade), who immediately started complimenting me and approaching me sexually. He would send me other girls nudes, who were also our age, saying it was normal to send nudes even though I didn't want to. He endlessly pressured me into sending nudes by saying he was going to hurt himself or even kill himself. He pressured me into dating him and I ended up "dating" him for the next 9 months. On our first date he immediately got me away from my mom and kissed me and grabbed my chest and immediately starting putting his hand down my underwear. I pushed him off of me and my mom immediately turned the corner to find us. She ended up essentially dropping off the face of the earth less than a week later.
After this "date," we continued to text and he wanted to know when I'd be ready for sex. He wanted me to sext with him and I physically couldn't I was just 13 and too awkward to. He'd get extremely mad and end up sexting other girls just to send me screenshots of their messages and nudes. For some reason I thought this was normal. I told him I wouldn't feel ready for sex until I was at least 14, but a month into dating he came over to my house with 2 of our friends. Our 2 friends went upstairs and we stayed in my room, he forced himself onto me after we had been kissing. He pulled down my pants and I said no and he begun raping me I cried and said no and that it hurt but he still continued. When he finished, he had blood on his hands which he wiped off and we went upstairs to be with our friends. I told him it wasnt normal and it hurt and there was blood on his hands but he showed me a porn of how virgins usually bleed so I thought it was normal.
I continued dating him, I thought this whole thing was normal so we had more sex and do sexual things. I went on a trip with him and his family a few months later even and while there he strangled me. I was in the middle of rambling about some show I was interested in and he wrapped both hands around my neck and squeezed so hard. I just looked into his eyes and gasped and he had no emotion on his face at all. He ended up breaking up with me a few months later blaming my poor mental health.
Months after that I started piecing together that what happened wasn't normal. I would look at the spot on the ground where it happened in my room and get flashbacks. Even though we had "broken up" we were still texting and I told him that I didnt want what had happened that day. I also took a sex ed class after it had happened and realized technically it had been rape. I told him my concerns and he admitted that what had happened wasn't right. I dont remember what happened to make me so angry at him that I went to our school counselors and reported him, but he did something to aggravate me? There was a police investigation but I dropped charges due to already having to go to court like every month for the past year for foster care complications and getting a restraining order on my mom. He ended up moving schools soon after and I moved 100 miles away the following year.
Fast forward, I've been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and we live together. We're both broke students but we really love each other. He was in a car accident last week that totaled his car, he was physically fine but taken away by an ambulance and in the hospital for the rest of the day. The doctors were worried there might be spine or head trauma/damage and I've never been so worried in my life. He ended up fine but I realized that I really want to spend a good portion of my life with this man, possibly even have kids. He's my only family really and he's amazing, imagining him injured or worse made me lose my mind at the hospital.
He knows a lot about my trauma, my mom ended up dying so he's comforted me through that as well as listening to all the horrible things I've experienced. I've mentioned there's one thing I can't talk about which is this. I physically cannot bring any of this up to him and I can't even say the word rape out loud. He's assured me I can tell him whenever I feel ready but I don't know how to admit these things unless he asks me very specific questions about it which obviously I cant expect.
He's very gentle with me but sometimes I feel myself disassociated during sex and get flashbacks to what happened. I just want him to understand what happened but I don't even know how to begin the conversation.
If anyone has advice on how I bring this up to him it would be very appreciated.

Iba rin nagagawa kapag chronically online ka na. Observations ko lang sa ibang redditors kasi ang harsh nila? Pero naiintindihan ko naman kasi may ibang ppsts talaga na mapapa-eye roll ka nalang. But ang di ko maintindihan eh yung pag aadvise/comments nila na borderline bullying na. At least to me that's what it looks like.
May nakita akong post na nagtatanong lang ang tao kasi clueless naman ata talaga siya or kulang ng info kaya nanghihingi ng payo sa reddit. Pero may nagcomment dun ilang beses tinawag na tanga si OP. Checked the account and ang harsh niya. Kahit saang subreddit nagkakalat at ang rude.
Di lang naman to once. Marami din naman iba pa na ganon ang dating. Downside din ata ng sobrang exposed sa internet, konting kibo ng tao, aawayin na. There's a difference between informing someone/educating them at pinapamukhang engot sila.
I just want to say this: just because we have access to the internet and have freedom of speech di ibig sabihin we also have the power to demean people. Mga totoong tao pa rin yan behind the screen. Di pa pala graduate ang iba sa pagiging keyboard warrior at baby bra warrior. I thought that era was long gone nung 2015 pa.
Go touch some grass!!!! Feel the breeze!!!!!!!! Take a break from the online world!!!!!!!!! Sa mga nambubully diyan, seek a therapist rather than projecting your insecurities to strangers online. Di mo kinacool yan.

I am seriously doxxing myself by making this post, but if anyone I know sees this, hopefully you can see the perspective nobody in my community saw.
Since 1st grade, my p@rents insisted that I go through a weekly Tamil school which was in person, but they switched to zoom classes in 2020. I started in 2013 when I was 5, and graduated when I was 13. My last two years were on Zoom.
I was an uncooperative little shit as a kid, I fought to the death to not do the weekly Tamil homework on weekends, and I frequently made a fool of myself in class. I was relatively goofy and mostly unfunny to make up for my insecurities, and this pretty much showed to everyone in my class, which was about 8 people who I would stick with until graduation in 8th grade.
After about two years of getting comfortable and also making a fool of myself, I sort of retracted myself and my goofy persona because of bullying. I didn’t fight with the volunteer teachers, who made me feel like I was in a boot camp. The worst part was my classmates’ being comfortable with bullying me, especially this one girl and her friends. Every Friday was just fighting with my p@rents to not go, and then showing up and being bullied and mocked. This kept up for a really long time, and I grew resentful and depressed. There were frequently in person events to perform plays, and this was even worse. The teachers frequently yelled at me, that one girl and her friends kept bullying me, and my p@rents wouldn't stop nagging me for fighting to go to this.
The fact that my pa@ents made me do this made me distrust them on a really concerning level, and I sort of continued to grow isolated. Nobody knew it at the the time but these things would cause severe behavioral issues later down the line, if they weren’t causing problems already.
I should also mention that Tamil people have this really strong connection to their language, which is why they fight so hard for their kids to learn and live the language. I spoke Tamil to my p@rents as a kid even before I started going to this school every Friday, but my god, the amount of suffering I endured made me resent the language as a whole. Tamil in itself makes me cringe really hard, and I find it incredibly difficult to make myself speak it, although this is probably a me problem that I haven't gotten over yet.
Back to the story. In my last 4 years, I became an extremely violent person. I physically fought with other kids at this school, not just with my classmates. It spiraled out of control, and the last years were spent fighting with everyone and ticking like a time bomb waiting to explode, which ended up happening on my graduation day of my last year. Nobody saw the warning signs, and neither did I. I was broken inside.
The organization holds a graduation at the end of every year for all kids, and if it's your last year, you're supposed to give a speech talking about how much you learnt. Obviously, my p@rents being Indian p@rents, made me write up a big speech to tell to this audience of maybe 300 people and kids with the rest of my class on stage. Everyone knew by this point that I was struggling really hard at this, but nobody thought to think that there may be underlying mental health issues as a result.
The day of the graduation and speech, I blew. I was to wear a graduation gown before going on stage. Instead, I took it off and wore it on my waist like a hoodie. This was enough to warrant stares and murmurs, but when the mic was handed to me to give my speech, my years of so-called dignity were over. I didn't give the speech. Instead, I threw up a middle finger and audibly said "Fuck all of you r*tarded assholes and fuck you for making me do this shit. And fuck all of you idiots who I had the shame of calling my classmates for the past 8 years." I then proceeded to run off stage and laugh my ass off while the entire crowd of 300 people turned to look at my p@rents with the most disdain. Nobody was expecting it, and to be honest, neither was I. It just came out after all those years, and to this day, I am ashamed that's what I ended up saying. I was an immature 13 year old, and I guess that's just how things roll when you're an undiagnosed autistic 13 year old with anger management issues.
In the aftermath, my p@rents refused to speak to me and they ended up apologizing to everybody. I'm glad it was my official last day. The next 2 years would be spent pulling out of school and going full online public school, dealing with suicidal ideation, and depression. I blame those 8 years of hell on them, but also myself to an extent. I should've known better and I didn't. On the plus side, I got a cool certificate saying I'm fluent in Tamil, lol.
Today, I'm doing a lot better. I graduated early, started community college, and made peace with these things. I later on apologized to my teachers for my anger issues, and they also apologized to me. I never spoke to my classmates again, although I will admit that the girl who bullied me so much is probably going through her own issues, which she decided to take out on me. My f@ther apologized to me for not knowing what was happening, but my m0ther didn't. But that's to be expected from a traditionalist Indian m0m.
I know I've done a lot of yapping here, but I just want everybody who reads this to know, it's okay to not want to do something, and your experiences are so so valid. I see other kids who fight with their p@rents at these Tamil school events (my sister is still a student there), and I make sure to speak with these little kids and let them know to come tell me anything if they ever feel unsafe there and they are too scared to tell their p@rents (which has actually worked!). The organization continues to struggle with mostly hard Tamil traditionalists in charge, trying to get little kids to adopt not just the Tamil language, but also the Tamil vigor. I firmly believe that most kids won't go through an experience like mine, but for those who do, it's okay to want out, and I continue to do my part to help kids who do want out. I was told so many times that I must keep fighting because of "my culture", but culture must be adapted to in a passive manner, not shoved and forced like it was done to me. I hope change will come soon in this little bubble.
Thanks for reading my story :)

Ok, so I(14AFAB) have an online girlfriend(15F). She's confused whether she's lesbian or bisexual, and this is why I'm super nervous. But I really don't feel like a girl anymore and I'm scared that it'll turn out that she's lesbian and dump me. I'm definitely a transmasc demiboy, and while my parents are transphobic as all hell, that isn't my main concern. I really love my girlfriend, and she has even accepted my asexuality as well, something I've never really had in a partner before. Please help!!!

so to start it off my problem started a few months back when I (14 M)started talking to this girl in my school (14) and started becoming friends with her but I found out quick that she was dating this other guy (14 M) and he didn’t really like me because she was getting decently close to me but over the past few months she’s been getting closer to me and honestly I got a small crush on her and a few weeks ago her boyfriend broke up with her so I’ve just been comforting her and today while we were at school she was just constantly looking at him and talking about him and being in his relationship business etc, I’ve tried telling her to just stay out of it but she hasn’t and even talked to him. and the reason why I care so much is because the relationship they had was very toxic and was on and off and not too long after him and her broke up our friend said we would be a good couple so we both agreed to start talking to eachother and one day while I was comforting her she said she apparently loved me and that she appreciated I was there for her. So back to what happened today she’s been texting really dry and seems sad and I have a feeling that she still likes her ex which I can understand a little but it hurts to know especially since I know I won’t be able to change her feelings. so in the end I just want to know what would I do? should I address it, give it some time or just give up. sorry if it’s confusing it’s really late for me and I just had to get this off my chest and need some advice.

This is one of my biggest struggles when trying to date
I had one situation when a guy completely mistook me for another girl he was talking to. For example, today a guy sent me a video of him talking in english, not on our mother tongue, a video that was clearly recorded for another person and maybe even sent by mistake to me. This of course makes me go talk to other people as well and "keep my options open" because in the end I lose if I don't act like everyone else is acting but it's exhausting talking to several people at the same time
Everyone tells me that I'm overreacting, that it's normal not to put all your eggs into one basket so soon, that that is the reality of dating.
Does anyone else feel like me? How do you deal with this?

So I’m having an issue where I’m being sent offers and I receive no notification anywhere. The first time it happened I found out because I was sent a message that an offer was revoked because the job expired. I had no idea I was even picked for it… $500 lost. The second time I received an email ONE MONTH after the offer was sent, and after I accepted it I was able to see the date it was sent. To be fully clear, this offer was not anywhere in my account at all- I check my emails and proposals/offers daily.
I contacted UW support and they dragged their feet and then told me they resolved it, no details. Today, a recurring client told me I won a job, but I didn’t get a contract which isn’t like him. It’s possible he hasn’t sent it yet (weird and unlikely) but I’m freaking out a little. I have contacted UW support again about this issue and I’ve sent the client a brief message letting him know about the issue and requesting confirmation of a sent contract through a separate message. I’m wondering if anyone at all has any insight? I can’t find anything about it online.

I’ll begin by acknowledging that yes, being taller as a man is obviously an advantage in just about anything. If each guy could choose their height, nobody’s picking 5’5. But the extent to which social media portrays such a prejudice and almost discrimination against short men is overblown. Most of what I see comes with posts where some girl will say they would never data a short guy, and you can find these posts anywhere. There are also other posts out there non dating related, but usually the dating ones are most prevalent. Almost 95% of the time, it’s some young women outside a fancy nightclub, probably drunk, probably entitled and a subscriber to superficial means in general. The same girl who says anything under is 6 feet is too short is gonna tell you that any man under 6 figures is not worth her time, she only dates conventionally handsome men, etc. I am willing to bet that if you took an unbiased sample size of men and women of different ages, the “prejudice” against short guys would be wayyyyy less apparent than it seems. Yes, being shorter is generally all around detrimental for men. It may make them less respected by their male peers and overlooked by females. I am not going to argue that. Is is the EXTENT to which this exists that I feel is overblown. I am 5’7 myself. Sometimes I get jokes about it, but nobody has ever tried to be straight up mean or dehumanizing to me. I’ve heard girls say tall guys are sooooo much better looking than short guys. I’ve heard others say it doesn’t bother them. Overall, while it would be nice to be taller, my life is about as normal as it gets. Go on social media and type “5’7” into the search bar and the results you see would make you think it would be better to be dead. I just don’t see this translation to real life. What do you guys think? I am interested in perspectives of people below my height as well, as maybe I am just close enough to the average that I don’t feel the effects as strongly.
TLDR: Don’t listen to social media, short guys lead perfectly normal lives

Hi i’m a 16 yo girl and i’ve noted that earlier this year i’ve been spotting between periods didn’t think much of it first but it still continuing, so i called my doc and they told me to write down whenever i’m spotting. We’re in may now and i’m still having this issue while also peeing a lot more than usual this is freaking me out very bad because i see all types of diseases online making my anxiety go off the roof.
The spotting is like slimy discharge with red streaks or just pink discharge. I just wanna know if anyone has experienced this and knew what the cause was cz im really scared. My periods are still regular.

Basically if you didn’t like this girl or love her, would you put up with her leaving and coming back constantly?

Been talking to this girl about a month, but started meeting irl in late April and have had 4 or 5 dates within less than 3 weeks and we have one planned for this Wednesday (and she already mentioned another one for the weekend). (for context, each date lasted over 4 hours including our first, and the most recent date at her place was about 9 hours)
When I went to her place on our most recent date I noticed she used my name when texting her roommate/friend saying I'm coming over (instead of saying "a guy" or "my friend" or whatever which obviously means she talks about me to her friend, I think on both ends things are great and we pretty much act like bf/gf but I am just awkward when it comes to bringing up properly the whole what are we/are we exclusive talk.
Tl;dr how and when the hell do I bring it up to a girl I've been seeing about becoming bf/gf. Also is there even a point in becoming exclusive before bf/gf I feel like they are hand in hand.

I gotta level with the people on this sub, there's like a 90% chance jackshit happens to Clark. If anything does happen it's probably a slap on the wrist and a "Naughty, Clarky Clark, don't do that again!" and he can go on with his life.
People here seem to vastly overestimate the impact of Clark and of Daniel Larson. The main things Larson has done is rack up thousands in dollars in damages to infrastructure and to restaurants, and has threatened to blow up federal buildings 7(?) times. Clark mainly caused the former. Larson's deranged nature caused the latter.
The only way I can see Clark facing any sort of significant punishment from the FBI or your typical law enforcement is from manipulating Daniel not to take his meds. I really don't see him facing any punishment for telling Larson to pull a fire alarm at an Olive Garden or for saying he had a reservation with Vanderwaal, let alone receiving that from the FBI of all people.
And for all the people saying "He said slurs, that's a hate crime!" or whatever else, yeah, that's true, but those sorts of charges would probably only exist when someone's already being prosecuted or if it's their 'main thing.' It's a way to add time on to a horrible person's sentence. I mean, this doesn't take much critical thinking to figure out. Slurs fly around like bullets online everyday from people who have their phone number, full name, date of birth and home address attached to social media and nothing would ever happen to them because, well, why would it? They usually don't do much else, so there's not a point in getting them just for saying no-no words online, regardless of how much evidence there is for this.
This also goes for most of management, too. Yes, they did some horrible things, not necessarily cruel but incredibly petty and damaging towards Colorado establishments and towards its residents, but there are very few that governmental bodies like the FBI would be remotely interested in even talking to, let alone prosecuting for this or that crime. The worst thing I can remember hearing about one of them was that they impersonated the FBI, but given the circumstances and the fact that it's (probably?) unrelated to Daniel wanting to BOMB YOU/KILL YOU, I seriously doubt it'll be brought up again.
Yes, we all want Clark and management to face some punishment, if not for what they did to Daniel then what they did using Daniel as a proxy for their behaviour. No, I don't see that punishment ever coming around.
(Side note: I find it really funny that post-incident, people here are going "Daniel was a mentally ill man and it was all management's doing that made him do these things!" When did we start blaming management for the fact that Daniel is a foul, despicable person? A lot of the incidents were caused by him of his own accord and without interference with management, so don't go running around claiming he's some misunderstood man who's deep down not so bad.
Additionally, it's funny seeing these same people post-incident start saying these things not long after going "Daniel should 100% dine-and-dash again" or "Daniel at Olive Garden was so funny I'm happy we had an incident like that!" Most of you whiteknighting Daniel supported what management was doing at the time besides paying Daniel because you wanted to see him suffer and die on the streets. Don't switch up on how you feel now he's been arrested by the FBI.)
