2024.05.16 13:09 cozy-comfy- Routine question

Hi all, thanks to Reddit and all of you I finally figured out what these dreaded bumps are !!
A bit of back story- I have a minor bit of rosacea and have had acne on and off throughout life. It seems like this stuff popped up on my chin maybe around 30 and I was given antibiotics for rosacea by my derm. It seemed med to get better but then I got a ton of bumps on my cheeks and temples and tried every skincare product in the book trying to resolve the issue. Then I got pregnant, seemed to be okay-ish but I stopped all products out of caution. Today I’m 34 and baby is old enough and I have time to browse the web again (lol) and I find the solution of using the anti fungal shampoo on Reddit and it INSTANTLY works. I wish I had a before picture. My skin is looking so good and smooth and I’m just over the moon. On to my questions and routine help. my routine looks like this:
Am: spray face with a bit of hypochlorus acid (not consistent)
Summertime- avene sunscreen
Pm: la rosche posay gentle cleanser, dial anti bac, vanicream and sometimes castor oil mixed in with the vanicream and NEW the nizoral anti fungal shampoo
How does this routine look? Should I go to the doctor and get ketoconazol 2% cream and use that instead of the shampoo? Should I use some other stuff? Or just use the shampoo? How often should I use the shampoo? It seems a bit harsh so I don’t want to over use it, but it’s working so well I don’t want to stop completely either.
Any other tips for my routine?
Thank you so much reddit people 🫶 I finally am feeling confident in my skin again after so many years of questions

2024.05.16 13:09 JFinSmith Some advice and some questions...

Some advice and some questions...
So I'm going to start off by saying this is one of the best watches I've ever owned. I have the GT4. Just got it recently from Amazon. Setting it up was a bitch especially since finding detailed information written in English on how to get it working was impossible. How did I do it?
Well first off I started off by downloading a VPN. In my case I just used the surfshark app because I have an account with them. I put My phone in airplane mode and then turned the Wi-Fi back on then connected to a network in the UK.
Then I downloaded the Huawei app store from the Huawei website. I then proceeded to download the Huawei health app. From there I just followed the general installation instructions, selecting anything that would help me pretend that I was in the UK when setting it up.
Once it was all set up everything worked as needed. Including being able to use features locked out of the US, particularly like the ability to download watch faces. I downloaded as many as I could while I was still connected to the UK VPN. However, once I turned it off I did not lose any functionality.

*My question! *

When I'm in the Huawei health app and I'm looking at notifications, it's a pain in the ass to have to select every single app, but in this screen I can see there are multiple notification icons. However on my phone every time I get a notification the icon is always the messages icon. Is there any way to fix this?

I hope this helps some people and I hope some people can help me! Thank you!

2024.05.16 13:06 profebubba Infallible prayer

These days I have read many publications on the internet about "infallible" prayers so that the disease does not come, so that poverty does not come, so that the devil does not touch the family...
I have something to say about this:
At 13 years old I already prayed from 2 in the morning to 6 in the morning.
When I went to another city for the dream of serving God, I was very hungry and that led me to do a lot of research on prayer.
First I searched the Bible for every prayer that appears in the Bible, then I searched for each of those prayers to see which ones were answered, and then I analyzed each word that was used in each of those prayers that were answered. I made manuals and guides to learn the forms of sentences that worked. (I was very hungry)
Then I researched the great men of prayer who have existed throughout the history of humanity, I studied their lives, I read every book I could written about them and written by each of them. I created guides and manuals for each of the principles they taught.
At the end of a titanic effort and immense learning that I recommend to everyone and which I am willing to share...
And at the end of it all I STILL BEING HUNGRY!!!
I realized that THERE ARE NO INFALLIBLE PRAYERS.
I can teach you every detail of what I learned in 8 years of intensive and exhaustive study of prayer. LEARNING THAT IS SUPER IMPORTANT TO HAVE.
But I learned that no matter how perfect a prayer is made, IT SHOULD SEEK TO BE MADE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.
I learned that no matter how perfect a prayer is, THERE IS NO INFALLIBLE PRAYER FOR ANYTHING.
But Sunday, WHYEEEE???
Well, because everything is subject to the sovereignty of God. And what is the sovereignty of God?
God's sovereignty means that he does what he wants, how he wants BECAUSE HE IS GOD!!!
And he doesn't have to ask us for permission or explain anything to us!
And he does it whether you like it or not, he does it even if you remind him of a thousand verses, even if you remind him of a thousand promises. So you try to manipulate him by reminding him of his word.
If he wants you sick because he plans to break your pride with the illness, he will do it!
If he wants you to be poor and even if you go very hungry, he will do it, no matter how many promises you have that say that you are not going to go hungry, his pride and his purposes come first.
Oh, I had an accident and the car broke into pieces and I broke down to my last name and now I'm on foot and I look like a robocop from Latin America -panchocop-. And his promises that he would send his angels?
The promises are still there and still firm, but his sovereignty and his purposes come first.
And ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, for me this has been and continues to be one of the most difficult things that I am still learning about the gospel and since I can remember I have been following it.
The faster we accept this truth, the less frustrations we will have.
And as for making this infallible prayer so that the disease does not touch him, make this other infallible prayer so that the devil does not touch his children.
THOSE ARE LIES!
One of the great men of prayer in all of history said: "Pray, hope for the best and be willing to accept whatever God wants to send you."
I imagine that by now we must have understood that the idea that God's will is "pleasant and perfect" is super distorted.
Because it is difficult to accept God as Lord.
Anyone accepts him as a savior, but accepting him as Lord is super horrible. And it's because sometimes God's prefect will is so painful for us!
I spent 8 years in hell, it was difficult for me to believe that it was God's will for me to go to that place, I have reviewed everything that surrounded my departure a thousand times.
And when I see my spiritual structure and spiritual maturity now and compare it with before I left, I begin to think 'So could it be that hell where I was so hungry and with such terrible people was the perfect will of God?'
Just now I remembered that I have been praying for a house for about 30 years (I started praying very early for it) and I had to put up with mistreatment, humiliation, contempt in these eight years that I was 'where I was😁' and by then I was already 22 years old praying for a house. house... And right now I am in a room without doors, without frills, with a borrowed bed... Yes, the boy who studied every secret of prayer in the world, seems like a bad joke, but I am a living masterclass of what it means that God does what he wants.
But doesn't the Bible say that he would foresee everything for us? So why was I so hungry?
FOR THIS IS HIS UNIVERSE, AND HE IS SOVEREIGN!
A book that changed everything for me is called: "Tortured by Christ" that book reset my chip. I have it, I can share it with you.
I'm getting longer, already
Kisses 💋 I love you, I am Profe Bubba ❤️

2024.05.16 13:05 Unmasked_the_Dee Ever noticed how Levitate is almost always a mons only ability? Not anymore.

Having Levitate sucks. You know why? Because 28/33 times (I probably counted wrong) times you're stuck with it as your only ability. But I try to soothe the pain by giving them new abilities that the Pokemon can't use because they can't have them legally ‼
Well, I hope y'all like the choices I made. Should I do something similar in the future?

2024.05.16 13:05 zmmiz A Rant with a Wholesome Ending

This is a WALL of text. Read it or ignore it if you'd like to. I like putting opinions out there, and listening to what others have to say.
“Arsenal watching city going 1 up after hate watching”
I feel like I've never seen more fans hate watching while 0 Arsenal supporters do so.Spurs fans consistently hate watching when we got into the champions league.
Arsenal, when they were down to Luton, had so many hate-watchers. So many shitty fans calling us hate watchers, then watching every single city and arsenal game to try and clown us.
But I’ve never really seen Arsenal fans as hate watchers… There may be a couple of examples I haven’t seen, but from what I've seen our “Hate watching” has come down to seeing how interesting games can be. When City goes up 1, I try to keep watching (from NZ, so time zones are a bitch) because I like football and I’m interested. I got to 3-0 city vs Fulham before I fell asleep.
Just funny going onto twitter and reading chelsea fans saying ”CITTTEHHHHHH” n such. A bit of a guilty pleasure is reading idiotic posts on twitter.
The Social Media Fans
Social media fans are rampant and are now seen as “The fans of the club” which is insane, because 90% of them have never been to England, let alone a game. And will look at a scoreline/highlights to determine what they think, And look at a team’s name to determine what the result should be.
Trust, I’ve watched full games back from time to time, and goddamn the picture is soooooooo different, from watching highlights, or reading a timeline.
Not sure about certain supporters who live within England, and It may be “banter” but it gets tiring hearing “We all hate Arsenal fans” when you actively have so many more Chelsea, and United fans screaming in your ears about every little thing, while supporting their rivals…
I hate the “pray for (insert team)” but the more of a meme it becomes the better, it’s just sad that they come with some of the most delusional takes ever, from people who don’t pay attention to how other teams are performing. And that they’re not just “food” for us to eat, it’s a competitive league for a reason.
Supporting the Dominant Team
I also find it insane that such a large group of people would rather see a team, with 115+ charges (who have been constantly avoiding them), while also spending billions to win the league for the 6th time in 7 years, over a team which is having a rise to glory. Just because “It’s arsenal”. While if you look back a couple months, everyone is complaining about city.
Also when did the fact where everyone hates the dominant team, and wants to see others rising not become a thing? F1 had it with Hamilton, now verstappen. NZ rugby has it with the crusaders (absolute cunts btw), and it happened with Golden State in the NBA, and now the nuggets.
Clubs who talk about history to prove they’re better now
It’s so common I see fans talk about trophies as if they mean “We’re the best team in the world”, Chelsea fans are great at this, bringing back a champions league where they only have 3 of those players, and a completely different management and ownership.
I just hope that this is banter, and not actual delulu. Hard for me to tell, or even certain teams talking about european trophies (cough cough west ham *cough cough*), where it is amazing they got it, but bring a top 4 / 5 team, who wants to win that competition, and they’ll win it almost every time.
What defines big clubs to me is, how good is your club now, and how many fans around the world do you have. Man United has the fans, but the team quality due to injuries wouldn’t help them to be the “biggest club”. The reason Barcelona vs Real was so big was because they were the best in the world, with the best players, and the most fans. Barcelona are a smaller club now (still huge), because the names aren’t as big, and they aren’t as competitive as they used to be. But still will have a ton of fans.
Teams Succeeding???
For me, I don’t like spurs, the mentality, the supporters, the scummy tactics. But I do want to see the team succeed in the competition (I Also like Ange and his story). I’m happy Aston Villa is doing well, I’m happy Liverpool had a bounce back season, and I'm happy Newcastle have started to find their footing.
And this is because you want a competitive league. We DON’T want a Bayern situation. Everyone always wanted Dortmund to win it, or at least another team, and look at the celebrations now that Leverkusen has done it. Bundesliga got 5 champions league spots, not only because of what happened in the Champion league, but you have Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, RB Leipzig all becoming more and more competitive. (Even though the disparity between 1-8 and 9-18 is big) it’s a step in a good direction.
Winning the League?
I’ve supported Arsenal since I was 7, because playing Fifa 12 with my older brothers, I thought the cannon was cool. I’ve been on and off for a while, but Arteta brought me back (And my degen phase of 4 hours of sleep has kicked in)
These years have taught me to never expect our team to win anything, till the final whistle of the final game. Very fucking sad, but it’s true. I will celebrate every win, Look back at every loss, watch every minute I can despite being sleep deprived, and love every moment, because I fucking love this club. I don’t care if we win the Premier league this season or not, I have no hope, but that could be my bleak outlook. But it was the same last season. I wait for the final whistle of the final game, then having the trophy or not, might give me a little more happiness.
But by far the most important thing for a depressed, mentally ill, sleep deprived, University student. Is when I see posts about the players, the club, the staff and the fans. And it makes me smile. As simple as seeing Gabriel and Saliba partnership being praised and them being “future” of Arsenal, makes me smile now, and gives me the moments of happiness which sadly, fade quickly. But they’re there.
Lastly PLEASE for the love of this club, never stop talking about the small cute things our players do, the celebrities involved, the nicknames we give our players, the new chants created. That character is what makes this club fucking beautiful.

2024.05.16 13:00 limesmoosh Womens rights / forced birth / stock price questions rant and want opinions

Just wondering what everyone thinks about if the cause of this company being valued so low is because some powerful individuals do not want genetic birth fathers found? I mean the largest genetic database in the world and the future of medicine, and it is currently valued at a market cap half that of La-Z-Boy. Seriously!!
Clearly much of the value is in the future and 23andME could be doing so much better at making money off of it's current assets, but still. There is such a lack of excitement. So either investors do not understand the possibilities, do not trust the company to get there, or don't want them to get there.
(I have read so many posts saying the military warns soldiers against using 23andMe or any genetic services. I they claim privacy but really it is about not wanting soldiers overseas sperm deposits to be found. The amount of war crimes "grapes" soldiers have committed is I am sure frightening. Military and law enforcement have the highest rates of domestic abuse and assault of any professions. Not only is there the problem of children of solders being US citizens, most politicians were once military and don't want their crimes (foreign and domestic) to be proven. )
I feel like it is the don't want them to get there. Considering the current hatred of females by so many politicians and attempts to strip their rights, 23andME presents a huge problem for that set.
If abortion is outlawed everywhere like they want, there will be so much walking evidence.
How many of the men that are trying to make abortion illegal, get rid of no fault divorce, reduce marriage ages, make birth control illegal, etc......................do you think they want their behaviors and assaults to be able to be proven because their 2nd cousin signed up for 23andME a decade ago? No they don't.
Making sure 23andME fails is almost necessary to certain political plans that are currently raging in so many states.
I am shocked that this isn't more talked about. Especially from the ME investors.
Honestly if it was and Women voted with their investment dollars this could become a MEME stock in a hot minute. A full on movement even. Genetic tracing is accountability and will keep women safer.
Can someone with a lot of influence please start a movement for women to invest in 23andME to ensure the ability of every single grapist in an anti-abortion state is identified via the kids it produces.
Historical tracing of all of those horrors via genetically confirmed family trees, which is becoming more and more popular (ancestry already has thrulines) will also bring so much to light.
The news slash pieces on ME are so on purpose. The "breech" was people signing into others accounts and sharing who they are related to. That is laughable. Google could tell me that info, or whitepages, or public records. That is not a breech. Do you know how many times every year my credit info is stolen? Everyones? From an actual breech that happens so often now no one even pays attention. Like, they already have all your banking info from every credit card company ever having constant breeched, but heaven forbid they also know you had jewish ancestors. Like really? Every negative news article I read about ME is laughable.
Or the absolute hatred on postings about Anne being a woman, the company providing its employees childcare, or them being well rounded people and doing yoga.
I don't think Anne and team realize how not as smart as them most of the population is. I am happy to hold for 20 years while this pans out but if all the negativity forces bankruptcy or privatization then early investors loose all their money. I am not sure she cares about that. That is frightening.
Someone please start a movement so we don't loose all of our money (and rights). I am too old for an influencer era.
Support women's rights, Support transparency and honesty, Support accountability, Support real data, Support 23andME.

2024.05.16 13:00 Signal-Ad-8156 Don’t know how I deescalated the fight but I feel weak for some reason

Hey everyone, most stupid thing happen to me last evening, I almost got into a street fight with a teenager.
Back story: me 26m and my gf 22 where walking as 2 kids around the age 15-17 passed by on electric scooters in a dark valley. They stopped behind as and started staring and my partner’s ass.
I don’t know why, but I just pointed with my finger at one of them (not sure why I thought it would be funny) and all of a sudden he got really agressive and I couldn’t stop myself from being agressive too and he said something along the line of “want me to come?” To which I replied “yes” and he repeated “are you sure?” And I said “yes” and than he drove off and I took my gf to a more lighted area where more people are present in front of a mall.
He came back and stopped in front of us.
A skinny kid with a helmet on so I couldn’t read his face. My gf reaction was immediately screaming at him saying “who do you think you are/ how old are you even”
I was very nervous, I’ve been training boxing and Krav Maga in the past for years and always been the best in my class but never completed in professional fights and I can count on one hand how many real fights I had.
I was 100% sure I can take both of them but I was still afraid. I was feeling the adrenaline in my body, my hands where shaking and I felt my heart exploding. And I felt like I can’t speak, my face muscle where shaking as well. I felt stupid for dragging myself and my gf into this and watching her protecting me like that.
I started breathing a little while holding my gf who went crazy on that kid yelling at him and getting very close to him.
Than I saw the guy checking his phone massages (I believe he waited for backup) didn’t make any eye contact with me He was very quiet and didn’t say a word the whole time he was in front of me. His friends where standing a few feet’s away. I later heard from my gf there was a third guy on a motorcycle.
I said to my gf “I’m talking with him right now “ “let us speak”
While trying to breath because I felt short of breath.
I touched his hand to grab his attention as they where right info of my on the scooter
Than I said something along the line of “look when I pointed at you I thought that was funny but I didn’t like the way you looked at my gf”
He said “I didn’t look at your gf” So I said “if that’s the case than I probably miss read the situation”
So he just turn around and without saying anything and that’s how it all ended.
I’m not sure why he wasn’t agressive anymore , why he didn’t own his actions, why he was so quite when he came back? Why he just turned around and left? Was he afraid all of a sudden?
Maybe because when he came closer he saw I’m much older and taller 6’3 and his friends standing from a far made him feel vulnerable.
My gf thinks that she scared him off although I find it unrealistic.
From your experience What do you think happen?
I glad It didn’t get into something serious. That was foolish of me but I feel weak that although my gf said I just looked calm and assertive…

2024.05.16 12:59 F-uPayMe ‼Important Message‼ by that Ein Man that Fachs (Mods take a look, you are needed).

Hello apes,
I bring you a sad news.
OG DD writer and appreciated member of the community ( that Ein Man that Fachs ) got perma-suspended from Reddit without a warning or a reason.
I tried to contact him and he asked me to write a post with something he wanted to let you all know - so here I go with accomplishing his desire:
===========
This is Einfachman. Reddit completely suspended me [without notification/warning]. I’m done.
My last post telling Apes to be careful because we weren’t in MOASS yet and that I was seeing indications of a rug pull clearly pissed off SHFs, because around 24 hours after I made that post Reddit completely suspended my account…without any sort of notification, nothing.
https://imgur.com/a/RwN2qlw
This was the post in question I made about 24 hours before Reddit suspended me: https://www.reddit.com/Superstonk/s/KGfUJvD2Q0
I must’ve cost SHFs a lot of money with that post. It was at the TOP of SuperStonk that day when GME was around $50-$60 heading to $80 and SHFs were having MSM make it look like it was going to squeeze. I saw through the bullshit, and warned the community about how SHFs bought tons of calls conveniently before this rally, had MSM hype it up, and (historically) pushed Apes to buy call option YOLOS on shill controlled subs during runs like in March 2023 and June 2021, so that they could rugpull when euphoria hit its peak and scoop up *at least* hundreds of millions worth of call options premiums.
Hopefully, that warning saved Apes from jumping crazy on calls at the peak before the rugpull happened.
I made a DD in February this year showing what a real short squeeze was looking like. Another stock went from $3 to thousands per share in minutes because the computers bought up everything through ask, and shareholders refused to give their shares cheap. It was about to crash the system, FINRA/SEC freaked out and ordered a U3 Halt on the stock, reversed the trades, which Congress is now looking into a resolution for.
When MOASS actually happens, these guys won’t have the opportunity to play dumb tricks like what we saw this past week. The computers will be ordered to force buy everything through ask.
Anyways, Reddit has given me trouble in the past. I pointed it out in my Burning Cash Part II DD. I made a post on my own profile (not even on any sub) last year exposing a significant person with influence in Reddit that works for Citadel, and Reddit went through the trouble of going to my specific profile and removing that post.
I’ve had to tiptoe around in every post I made because of Reddit. Despite that, they still ended up suspending me without warning, and I am completely and utterly exhausted from it all.
My first account I deleted in 2021 due to threats for encouraging DRS in other subs. My second account now completely suspended by Reddit without warning. I’m not making a third account. Even if I wanted to, I most likely wouldn’t be able to make another account. Either way, I’m done.
Before I go, I want you all to know that it’s important that the Ape community have some solid backup when the day comes. Reddit’s restrictions on SuperStonk have been stronger than most (if not all) other subreddits. If you read the CoinTelPro Techniques, you know that SHFs are only ok with SuperStonk being active because Reddit’s strong restrictions allow them to have a good amount of control over the sub and what info flows through here. One day, when SHFs see that SuperStonk is too much of a threat or they can’t control it, they WILL remove this sub. And at that point, the community has to have some back up set up by then so that it’s not complete chaos.
Still holding my GME shares regardless. This is not how I wanted to go out. I wanted to be with you guys to celebrate the MOASS when the day comes, but I’ll still be with you all in spirit. MOASS will still happen, whether it be via a market crash, DRS, or some other way. SHFs cannot bankrupt GameStop. GameStop has $1 B cash on hand. It’s impossible for them to death spiral it like with other stocks. Hence, they will eventually run into a wall there.
Always love my Ape fam, and I’ll see y’all on the moon. 🦍🚀🌓
P.S.
If mods can reapprove my old posts, would appreciate it. They disappeared from Reddit along with my account. I saw my last post was reapproved, so was hoping it could happen with my others, especially the Burning Cash Series and my interview with a former Citadel client.

Now, this is something I personally want to add: this what happened to him it's the last of many shitty things that happened during this saga. When the time comes, remember all these events, how people got abused and harrassed - and make them pay the RIGHT price (which is a cell and all they own and more). Because I will. Oh, if I will...

2024.05.16 12:59 SasugaDarkFlame People can't find a good reason to hate on Arsenal so it turns to the invisible boogeyman of "Insufferable Arsenal Fan"

I can't for the life of me, see a reason why somebody can hate Arsenal. Nobody puts out a good reason.
We play good ball. Very entertaining, we got history, class, youth and passion. Our players are all goody 2 shoes unlike Kyle Walker or Antony.
People invent this imaginary Arsenal fan in their head that supposedly the worst but where is he and what is he saying?
Even know I look how Pepe was lambasted by everyone for "not being good enough" but now I've spend 2 years watching both Mudryk and Anthony stink out the gaff and people have all the excuses. "Look at M10 on the gym. He never stops trying"
I don't know. Arsenal and Arteta have wrung everything out this team we have Germany and Brazil starting strikers. We have 2 of the best players on England. We have 2 of the best keepers in europe. We have some of the best CBs in the world.
Still it's not enough....still I open my phone and I see Sp**s and Hammer fans like wishing bad on us cause Arsenal Fans will insufferable.
You have over a quarter of this league blatantly saying they don't care about city cause when they win its not real. Same with TAA saying it means more to liverpool than city. I've seen pudints chating utter site about 3 of city's titles mean 1 to arsenal, United or liverpool.
People have fucking deluded themselves into think city winning doesn't matter cause it's "fake" or "nobody supports city in real life so if they win its not like i have to see the fans"
The people who don't care about city winning cause "there's no fans to banter me" have managed to take greatest team sport and turn it in "sticks and stones break my bones, but your banter will never hurt me"
It's pathetic. Arsenal get no respect. We talk up for our players and we get accused of over hyping "cause this group has won nothing" but we are literally GOING BEYOND PLUS ULTRA winning the most games we have ever in a season and people still got find some bullshit angel and parrot it over and over and over.
I believe in my team. I don't expect Hammers or Sp**s to believe but to actually be hoping to lose. I see people talking about whiping out their goal difference "cause it will be funny"...

2024.05.16 12:57 NatureSmooth6734 I’m scared my BF IS GOING TO UNALIVE HIMSELF PLS HELP

Dr. K I desperately need your help. I am pleading if not begging for it. My boyfriend is suffering and so is our relationship. Things have gotten very intense and he is having suicidal ideations daily! I am so scared, confused & concerned. He is really struggling like most 25 year old men. His frontal lobe is closing and there’s been a drastic shift and change in him. With intentions for the better but results don’t yield that same outcome. He watches a lot of your content & like things but bringing awareness to your problems simply doesn’t fix it. His view of me has changed drastically and it’s almost as if im his number one enemy and I can tell he’s blaming a lot of what’s happening both internally and externally on me. I don’t know how to support him and when I ask him it almost frustrates him. He then used emotionally influenced logical reasoning with almost everything. In fact watching your videos recently made him realize that he doesn’t properly process emotions. Me on the other hand I am extremely emotionally intelligent and have been emotionally aware for many years but in his eyes im not. He watches a lot of videos based on higher reasoning and thinking (Jordan Peterson, modern wisdom, conversations with Coleman etc) which I love but I’ve noticed how now because I don’t use the jargon or vocabulary of these guys he is quick to not want to listen to me or discredit my opinions or perspective. We’ve both watched your video about conversations and how it’s really about reflection. I try to practice this when conversing with him by asking him questions like “how can I better support you” “can you give me an example” this sets him off! He replies with things like “this is what I’m talking about. , raise your emotional eq” and more statements about my deficiencies in his eyes. I will try to reply by saying “ I don’t want to assume I know what you’re feeling or what you need” this makes him even more mad. Our relationship has come to a very scary place and I really don’t know what to do. There’s so much more I could share and pray and hope that I can! I’m not sure if you’ve ever done a couple session but I would love to volunteer as tribute. We have one of the best relationships I’ve ever known but we’ve really hit a rock and hard place. I understand hurt people hurt people and I see him inflicting a lot of his past trauma on both himself and me. I watched a video of yours today saying don’t think about solutions when your dad wait until after because it will create more and more problems. I’m almost 100% this is all he does and he does A LOT of thinking. He’s watching things that make sense and trying ti make sense of it amplifying the problem tenfold. I practice this and it helps and I tried to share with him but I was ridiculed even though if he watched you say it he would eat it up! This ship is sinking very very very quickly. Dr K please please help me save my boyfriend and our relationship. He doesn’t have a friend group he feels is “on his level” or anyone he talks to about these things. Therapy is too expensive but he desperately would like help. He has an appointment with someone from you course but he is already skeptical bc it’s not you helping him. I’m watching the sweetest person I know turn into the most jaded person I know. This is my first Reddit post in hopes to reach you. DR K PLEASE HELP ME I DONTKNOW WHERE TO GO. This is a cry a desperate cry for help. Pls

2024.05.16 12:57 TreadmillTreats It's all in the way you look at things

It's all the way you look at things
I know that I'm so positive it makes some people sick. Yes, I am “that” person who sees the best in everyone and everything. Yes, I do see the glass half full.
While talking to my best friend recently, I was saying that I was excited about going home for a multi year reunion. I was going to see many of our high school and grade school friends, and what a good time we are going to have. He said, “Ain't no one wants to see them, girl, I could care less about them!’
He doesn't keep in touch with many people besides me. We have very different points of view on the subject of childhood friends. I keep in touch with almost all of my friends and he keeps in touch with me.
He doesn't have friends where he lives. He works from home, and his mother lives with him. He hasn't been on a date in years and hasn't gone out to try to open his circle of life. For him, a vacation once in a while is enough. For me, it could never be. I, on the other hand, have many friends that I am constantly doing something with. I have church and other things that I do that I enjoy to keep me involved and busy.
I don't want to be this old person saying fuck this one or fuck that one. I don't know how much time I have here but I do know I want to live my life large! I want to leave the dishes in the sink to hang out with a friend. It's not an imposition for me to pick up a friend from the airport who flew in to visit me. This is life, these are the memories that I am making that are priceless, with people I love.
I don't want to be that person who is too busy or too self absorbed in their own life to share it with others. Life's for sharing, sharing memories, sharing love and sharing laughter. I want to forever keep doing that. I'm not going to be that miserable old person no one wants to see because they have nothing nice to say about anyone.
So today my friends, remember life goes by too fast. You never know when your time is up. Is it more important to have a clean house than a house full of friends? Is it more important to be rigid, to not let bygones be bygones, than to enrich your life with other people? I guess the question is up to you on how to live your life but for me nothing enriches my life more than to share it with people I love, doing the things I love. As I have told you before, I want to go to my grave screaming what a frigging ride!! “Be the change you want to see”

2024.05.16 12:57 Much-Most-3704 Should I keep going no contact?

I might go into a bit of a rant , but I really need an outsiders opinion on my situation.
For a bit of a background I 21F have been going no contact for almost 2 years with my mother 40F.
Here’s some backstory,
My mother had me quite young, 19 and would later bring up to me how she had a VERY rough childhood and how poorly her parents treated her and her issues with SA at a young age. She never left home and lived rent free UNTILL this day my grandmother had a stroke and my mother took care of her for 1-2 years as her primary caregiver but afterwards my grandfather was the primary caregiver and my mother no longer helped. She claimed to not leave the house because “they needed her” when infact she didn’t provide anything that they “needed” she didn’t pay rent she didn’t help take care she was more of a roommate so to say.
I looked up to my mother very much as a child admired her achievements she was getting promoted at work and travelling to different places for work. When I was 13 she had lied to our family about going on “work trips” when in reality she was hooking up with a very wealthy co-worker . She ended up getting pregnant and lying to my dad and me and my sister saying that she had to go on work trips while she was visiting this rich man and going to baby appointments. She told my dad she cheated on him 1 month before she gave birth and me and my sister 1 week before. Now I should mention I saw my family as a near perfect family everything was very good.My dad forgave her and accepted this new baby like his own child.
My mom lied to her baby daddy (the rich guy) and said that my dad had left her, my sister and I and that my mom lives all by herself in her own home and has no job. This being the opposite of what’s being true. The man agreed to pay her to be a stay at home mom and pay all her “bills” my dad paid all the bills and they she lived rent and bill free. She would go to see the rich man for a 2-3 weeks at a time in a different city than come back to the house me and my sister and dad lived in with our grandparents for 1-2 weeks than repeat the cycle.
She ended up cheating on my dad again a year later with the rich man after promising they had nothing going on to me and my dad. I would beg her not to sleep in the same bed as the man when she would take the kids over to his house. As a 13 year old child.
She truly lived a double life. I never knew when she would come back and I was left to do all her motherly stay at home mom duties and raise me and my sister because my dad worked so many long days and nights.
Our relationship never got better and she expected me to help her out with the new children. She ended up cutting ties with the rich dude and would bring the kids to his house on weekends but return home always.
I had alot of personal trauma involving SA at the age of 14 and a lot of mental health challenges.
She tried to kick me out at 15 and when brining this up to a councillor they almost got me taken from the home. I was in and out of mental wards and picked up a drinking addiction from a young age because of the SA and how the treatment from my mom was.
She decided to take my debit card while I was in a mental hospital and spend 120$ on food for herself. When I came home she let the children break 300$ worth of my makeup and make the most disgusting comments.
She made me miss days of my school so I could watch my youngest sibling while she took my other sibling to school. I fed, washed and the youngest child even needed me to hold his hand while I put him to bed. She expected me to be another parent I even attended every single doctors appointment for the children she had with the rich guy when their own father never attended it was me who did.
There was a time where the baby daddy had cut off her money and she refused to get a job so I ended up paying for dinners gas coffee runs, outings and my younger siblings whole 5th birthday party.
This whole time she would taunt me when I was sad she would get almost excited to see me super sad one time I had overdosed and she kicked my limp body to see if I was dead. Terrible things.
No matter how helpful how supportive I was through her custody battle how much money I spent as a young girl to I was about 17 doing all these things btw, she never showed love to me she threatened to kick me out if I didn’t get a job but I did make very decent money doing online things for money I won’t disclose but it was nothing sexual.
I did whatever she wanted because I was so desperately looking to be loved and wanted.
I finally had enough of her toxic abuse and always blaming me for everything using me as the escape goat and threating that I would be on the streets so I moved out at 19 with nothing but a mattress and a fan no help from my parents at all.
3 months into moving out my grandmother had sadly passed away. My mother invited a women who no one in our family has ever meet before to my grandmas open casket. She was already bringing a friend for support but felt the need to bring a women she’d only known for 2 weeks. I told her how uncomfortable I would be sitting next to a women I never met since this was a private family matter and no outside people that didn’t know my grandma would be coming. She picked bringing this women over my feelings I was heartbroken and sad about my grandma and no one supported me. My dad later on told me if I had a problem with my mom brining the friend I wasn’t allowed to go. After this I cut all ties with my mom and whole family.
A year after I cut all ties and no communication my mother randomly showed up at my doorstep with my two younger siblings both under 8. Saying they wanted to play at the park with me . I hung out with them at the park because I didn’t want this to be a bad memory for them and it’s not the childrens fault. This went awful my sister saying “how many birthdays have you missed now” obviously a line fed to her by my mother. Since she’s to young to come to that conclusion.
I recently after almost 2 years got back in contact with my dad and he’s really wanting me to have communication with my biological sister but I really don’t want a relationship with anyone but my dad and my two younger siblings.
So the question is what should I do my mom is a very toxic person but apart of me just wants a mom and wants to feel loved and wanted by a mom but I don’t think she can do that I’m just so confused and need help. And I’m not interested in a relationship with my sister but my dad really wants one and I have a really goood relationship with him now and don’t wanna make him sad.
If you read this whole thing thank you so much

2024.05.16 12:56 timsfuckingreddit Not sure if travel is good for me

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has anything to relate to on this topic.
This academic year, twice, I have travelled for two months at a time. September and October, my wife and I travelled throughout the southern states form Tennessee to Mississippi, Alabama, and down to Texas before spending time in New York and then various places around New England. The New England section proved torturous for me as I had used up all my enthusiasm and just wanted to go home and have a routine again, but I stuck it out for my wife and did have plenty of enjoyable experiences nonetheless.
In March and April we travelled from Spain across France and down into Italy driving a camper van we decked out ourselves. While I found all of those places way more stimulating than the second half of my US trip I still found myself pining for normality a month or so into the trip.
However, now that I’m back, my sense of reality is totally changed. I live and work more or less in the countryside but find myself wanting to be living and working in the city. When I am in the city, I want to be back in the countryside in idyllic peace. Now that I’m back in Ireland, I want to do loads of Italian and Spanish shit that I did while I was there. But yet for much of while I was there I wanted to be here.
It’s affecting my sense of peace in general and making me want to be alone so I can process it. I want to be stimulated, but I also want to be left alone. My sense of identity and perception of the world around me is thrown in the air.
One of the main things I got from travelling is that there are no absolutes, ie there are wonderful things about the USA but also mountains of crap. People in each place also are not easily categorised. Nothing is absolute. Same for Italy, Spain, France and my own country. And that sense of things not being black and white is also freaking me out a bit.
The closest I have come to clarity is that maybe I am romantic and prefer things to be a mystery or live in my imagination to a certain extent rather than be confronted with concrete reality, but I don’t know.
Disclaimer: I consider myself privileged to have been able to travel like we did this year, though it was earned from years of saving and sacrificing - renting to tenants, rearranging work etc. while travelling we ruthlessly pursued our interests relating to each place, had many authentic experiences with locals, ate and drank very well, and on paper did pretty much everything you need to do, and then some. We also related to each other well and had peace and intimacy that we had not been allowed to have in our working lives.
33 M no kids, neurodivergence or drug use that might leave me feeling this opaque.
I also don’t work 9-5 (maybe 830- 2/3) and have plenty of free time thankfully.
Any thoughts appreciated.

2024.05.16 12:54 Express_Cell_183 VR is literally making me depressed

I’m sorry for the rant I’m about to give but please help. I’ve been practicing for the UCAT and I’m sitting around a 2550 for Mock Exams with my VR score butchering it. I know people say that you should focus on your weakest subtests before and and your strongest closer to the UCAT, but literally cannot practice VR properly. I know every technique there is, I try to implement it but I just quit the practice because I genuinely feel depressed doing VR. I like all the other Subtest and would go out of my way to practice them but I just can’t with VR. I think it’s because I have the reading speed of a 10 year old and cannot retain information well, I feel so clueless
So what can I do to try to get better and get myself to practice VR. Also how many questions can I afford to get wrong in VR given that I am good in other 3 subtests to get a 90th percentile (in aus)

2024.05.16 12:54 inseekofdodocode Is this a Hot Take? Ariana and Katie

So many people are giving Katie credit for being a great friend. Even after finding out, hey she has some of the same feelings Schena had, how the scandal would effect her business and her life. She has an off the cuff conversation with Lala and here we are.
Katie is fake, she doesn't get hated because she is real, she gets hated because at times ahe goes to hell with her mouth and is wreckless. People call Schwartz a child and blames him for their marriage ending. Tequila Katie has said mean horrible things that honestly I don't know if I would get past them.
Yes Schena is self absorbed, but it makes sense that she will feel abandoned by her friend who was cheated on and got all of these things and did not say take my friends with me. ( In the real world your friends have what you have, I get a job at a great place I am going to try and recommend you.) Schena did that for Ariana, that is how Ariana got on the show and it makes sense that Schena is confused by Ariana acting brand new.
Ariana didn't do anything new. She got cheated on, it just happened to be epically public. But it is fair for people to feel sad over this. When people get divorced losing friendships can be like a death. I am not saying Katie and Ariana are queens for riding for each other because I don't think that is true friendship. Katie attached herself to Ariana because she knew the consensus and was not going to go against Ariana, because news flash the only person on the show she liked was Ariana, she still hates Schena (she has podcast with Dana proving it and she has done podcast pretty much saying everything but)
Finally Ariana is a bad friend, and the minute she stopped seeing herself as a vanderpumper she neglected her friends. Yes she became booked and busy, but she also saw the threats and vitriol towards her "friends" and did nothing, but people love to hate Schena cause she is annoying. I don't fault anyone trying to SAVE THEIR JOBS.

2024.05.16 12:51 Infinite_T05 The Hulk's storytelling in Infinity War/Endgame is abysmal

I saw a post on the Hulk not long ago, and it inspired me to rant.
Okay, so it's not exactly a hot take to say that the Hulk was done dirty in the MCU. Despite Infinity War and Endgame being peak Marvel in the eyes of many, this is definitely the character who people had the most complaints about.
The biggest reason for this is that Hulk was not in these movies. His character had already "died", before any of us had realised it. The most frustrating part about this is that there was such a clear and well written path that the writers could have taken in order to make the Hulk's conclusion feel not only satisfying, but outright iconic.
But first, let's go over what happened as a refresher for those who have forgotten. After being absent from the MCU since Age of Ultron, the Hulk makes a surprise (probably not that surprising tbh) reappearance on Sakaar in Thor Ragnarok. It's revealed that he's been in Hulk mode for years and, for Banner, Ultron was only mere moments ago.
Hulk's performance in Ragnarok was pretty good. He fought Thor, and though he definitely would have lost, he proved that he was still a powerhouse. He then faces Hela's wolf (I think this is meant to be Fenrir but it doesn't look like it so I'm just gonna call it wolf), killing it by punching it off a waterfall. He then staggers Surtur in one blow, which is by far his most impressive feat, even if it was just meant for a bit of comedy.
Now Hulk/Banner is returning to Earth with Thor, and the movie ends with Thanos' ship looming over the Asgardians. The hype for Infinity War has never been higher. So what happens now?
Well, Hulk immediately gets destroyed in a fistfight by Thanos, who wasn't even using his stones. That's a bit of an L, sure, but a pretty good way to hype up Thanos in all honesty. Given that he's been anticipated for over 5 years, and yet hadn't even left his chair until now, it makes sense that he'd need to beat up someone strong in order to establish how powerful he is. It may have come at the expense of the Hulk, but this is not the problem in the slightest. Thanks to Heimdall, Banner lives to see another day.
What if I told you that that was the Hulk's conclusion? His final scene. After being gone for so long, he beats up a wolf and is effectively dead for the remainder of the MCU. Yeah, you'd think I was crazy. But other than a couple rebellious moments where he doesn't take over for Banner, that's the last we see of him. The Hulk is gone.
In Avengers Endgame, Banner effectively kills the remnants of the Hulk by fusing them with himself. As the brains, he's the one that takes control. This isn't really immoral because Hulk is kinda just an alter ego of Banner. I think that's how we're meant to see it anyway. But the second Professor Hulk showed up onscreen, that confirmed that the Hulk we'd grown to love was dead.
I don't have a problem with the directors killing off Hulk. They killed Natasha. They killed Tony. Steve seems to be dead. Hawkeye is trying to retire. Other than Thor, who is a god, everyone else is passing on their mantle to the next generation. They don't want to fight anymore. I can understand the decision to remove Hulk from the story in order to allow his son to get some spotlight. But that doesn't make this writing good. This is actively one of the worst ways to kill a fan favourite character that I have ever seen. It's like the directors were trying to have bad writing.
And there was such a painfully obvious way to do this right. In fact, it fits in so well into the story that 99% of us probably thought this was what the directors were alluding towards. For Hulk to go out on his own terms after one final Hulk out moment.
It all makes so much sense. Banner tried multiple times to bring out Hulk in Infinity War, and it never happened. There was even a climactic moment in the Hulkbuster suit where it seemed like Hulk was about to burst out of it, and yet he refused again (this was the last sighting of Hulk entirely). After being beaten up by Thanos, Hulk seems to be hesitating to fight. PTSD? Some other kind of trauma? Who knows? After all, it was never explained.
Hulk's character change in Infinity War is the greatest change a single character has ever had over the span of one movie, in my opinion. It is entirely out of character for the Hulk to shy away from battle. That's why it felt like this was meant to be buildup to something great.
Picture this. All hope seems lost during the final battle of Endgame. Thanos has defeated Captain Marvel, and there's no one left to stand between him and his goal. And then, suddenly, the Hulk jumps onto the scene. He manages to get the gauntlet off Thanos, and from there they rematch. This is a younger Thanos. A weaker Thanos, perhaps. But more importantly, a Thanos who has no idea what kind of monster has just come after him.
Perhaps the Hulk made a deal with Banner upon seeing Thanos again after 5 years. He'll disappear forever, and in exchange he will draw upon all the potential power he'd have used in those future years. He becomes bigger, like the 2003 Hulk. I'm sure there's a comic book we can reference here, but I'm not too familiar. The most powerful version of Hulk appears to defeat Thanos before disappearing forever.
After this, we can let a few more clashes happen before Tony's final sacrifice. But this is the equivalent of Cap wielding Mjolnor. Or Wanda's rage moment. For the Hulk, this would be the conclusion to his character. A final smash that would remind us all who he is.
Tony Stark was the only casualty in the final battle of Endgame, which means a lot of focus was on him in the aftermath. If Hulk "died", there'd be a risk that it would take away from Tony's moment. But I think we can all agree that this is better than just subtly offscreening him.
This was such an obvious way to go about his final arc, so maybe that's why they didn't do it. Everyone would have seen it coming. But not all expectations are supposed to be subverted. This kind of scene would be a satisfactory end to one of the most iconic faces in Marvel history.
TLDR: Hulk was an enormous missed opportunity.

2024.05.16 12:50 mo487 Dr K., Self-Sacrifice Schema, Opticsmaxxing, and Retaliation

I am very much a lurker in this community. I feel passionate enough about the Dr K. convo and all the things that have transpired since then to speak up.
I can base a lot of what I'm saying on a possible assumption but, I'm going to say what I have to anyways despite not having clear evidence of it. Be mad, idc.
Self Sacrifice Schema
I watched the interaction between Steve and Dr. K through the youtube video and everything I heard Steven express struggling with, I expressed to my own therapist only a few months ago.
I started medicating for ADHD a year ago and I can now operate on a much higher emotional intelligence then I've ever been capable of. And it hit me like a bag of fucking bricks.
I learned that, through whatever past traumas I have, I felt like I couldn't disappoint people, even when it was a detriment to myself. I would do the most for others while I didn't allow anyone to do anything for me. And at times people take advantage of that. I hate when people compliment me or thank me because in my mind it was my responsibility and not something to be commended for. I can't even stand when people sing "Happy Birthday" on my fucking birthday.
That shit gets taken advantage of. And I don't blame the other party entirely because I understand that I set up the relationship dynamics that contribute to it. My lack of boundary setting was an opportunity for others.
However, whenever I felt slighted enough I am very capable of going scorched earth. Doing the most piece of shit things feeling like someone has awarded me the opportunity and I am very capable of doing that. And it was always when things went way beyond a boundary I should've actually set. And I was made to feel bad for this capability of going scorched earth better than most people and I made myself feel bad.
What's worse however is curbing yourself so much knowing how fucked up you can be that you do nothing and allow people to step all over you.
I've seen plenty of posts here of people asking why Steve shows so much grace to people when they don't deserve it. I think the Dr. K talk explains all of that exactly.
Boundary Setting
Since I've acknowledged my own issues I've set so many boundaries. With my immediately family, my wife, my ex-wife, my children. And that shit is hard. As well, due to a misunderstanding of boundary setting based on not setting correct boundaries in the past, the pendulum had to swing in the complete opposite direction in order to figure out what I should be doing. I became extremely restrictive on my boundary setting with other people.
And due to the dynamics I set up by being extremely graceful it was very difficult for every other party involved. And when they retaliated I had no choice but to stand my ground to get them to understand the dynamics have changed. If it meant being a piece of shit so fucking be it. For my own mental health I was changing the dynamic of relationships with others
In the past couple months we've seen Steve cut the bullshit people he showed more than enough grace to. He split from someone who stepped all over the established boundaries she agreed to. He was as graceful as possible even in those instances.
Opticsmaxxing/Going to far
About a month ago things have finally began to normalize with the people around me. I am a lot more content with myself and have so much more conviction in my approach to others. For the most part it means that my relationships with people who matter have matured and gotten better. But it also means that people who want to fuck around with me are more likely to find out a lot sooner then I would've in the past. And I am not fucking nice.
I struggled at first with this conviction of being straight vile to people who thought I could be fucked with. Thought I was a bad person for it. I realize that I've always done this to myself. I've always been this way and hated myself for it. I now hate that I ever hated myself for it.
I've always been capable of going scorched earth with people. Anytime in my life I've been brought to that point it was either always justified or I dialed my actions back enough knowing that I was taking things to far. When it was justified it was a benefit to others or myself. When I dialed it back it showed maturity, empathy, and understanding. I've today come to terms with that side of me and not longer make myself feel bad for it.
Steve has shown that hes tired of a lot of shit and, fuck it, its time to scorch the fucking earth.
Retaliation
Here's where things get personal for me and why I feel motivated to even post this as a lurker.
Trigger warning: I'm going to probably piss some people off.
  1. This has been actually cathartic for me. So i appreciate if it even stays up and if you read through it
  2. You fucking opticmaxxers in here need to stand the fuck down and eat some fucking shit
What I feel like I am witnessing is someone choosing to lean into who they are and always have been. Curbing themselves thinking they were suppose to due to these fucking societal norms of fucking "be nice"
Eat shit and die (in minecraft). The man has shown enough good will and has proven that even in these moments of retaliation he's capable of managing even through the lense of optics. To hear people complain about what hes doing knowing that hes done enough to prove that he knows what hes doing is fucking annoying. Let the man scorch the fucking earth. Its earned. Its deserved. These people in this clique have consistently had his name in their mouth with him showing more grace than any of them showed him.
Scorch the fucking earth
Tldr: Opticsmaxxers need to eat shit and die (in minecraft)

2024.05.16 12:49 LeadNo9107 Will "flex lanes" on the shoulder actually help ease congestion?

https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/05/15/flex-lanes-coming-to-central-florida-expressways-aim-to-help-reduce-traffic-congestion/
Sooooo.... been driving in FL my entire adult life. I'm familiar with the flex lane concept from other states, i.e., a lane that can change direction based on time of day.
This does not seem to be that.
Are they proposing that people can drive on the shoulder of the road, which is now a "lane?" And that said lane will be regulated by red-yellow-green lights?
Have any of these road planners met a single Florida driver? How the fuck are they going to keep people OUT OF that lane when it's not needed? A fucking red light in a lane? hahahahahaha
I would love to learn that I am wrong... Am I understanding this wrong? Like how is this not just permission to drive on the shoulder of the road, period?
