2024.05.16 17:56 PhraseSenior8041 tour guide in Japan

Hi nice to meet you guys. I'm Japanese,20y, uni student and my English level is very low, but I will do my best!
I just wanna say "please hire me" If you come to Japan and want to see some underground places or you don't have any plans and have free time.
You can see the sights in Tokyo, but the dark side of Japan is not in the guidebooks. And if you want to experience Japanese middle class life, I invite you to my house(*my parents house) and let's go cycling, playing football.
What platform should I use to promote it?

2024.05.16 17:54 zohairali37 Advice or Help. Gay (Don’t Act on It) Muslim Man Wanting to Get Married to a Lesbian Muslim Woman

Please read the full post before jumping to conclusions. Salam, I am an American Muslim male in my twenties, wanting to ask for advice on how to handle this particular situation I’m in. Since I was young, I have experienced homosexual attractions that I have actively suppressed (I have memories dating back to when I was four years old), yet always had the intention of still getting married to a Muslim woman one day because I’m too scared to risk my afterlife. Luckily, I don’t outwardly appear to be facing this test but this has its own drawback. At risk of sounding cocky, I’m conventionally attractive, appear straight, and have a good career. As a result, I’m constantly pestered about marriage, have had to reject girls for no apparent reason, and people I know wonder why I’m not looking for a relationship. The truth is that I honestly do want to get married just to live a more fulfilling and less lonely life but my situation complicates things immensely.
I’ve come to terms with the fact that I would not be able to sexually gratify a Muslim woman. Though I’m a mature enough to be loyal and provide emotional support, marrying a straight woman would be a total act of deception. I made the intention at a young age that I would never lie to a straight woman and use her as a pawn to cover up my own issue. That would be deceitful and I don’t know how any good Muslim would suggest that as a solution. Lying is Haram in Islam. To anyone who would suggest that as a solution, how would you feel if your sister was fooled by a closeted gay?
Thus, I am hoping to find a closeted lesbian Muslim woman who is in my same situation (trying to suppress her desires) for a marriage based on mutual support & love without the expectation of sex. Does anyone like me even exist? This is not a fake marriage that’ll provide a cover up for us to sleep around. This is a genuine marriage without the expectation of sex. Having a life companion to grow old with is better than living alone and I’ve been able to control myself well enough all these years and feel that my life will feel more complete with a wife. You guys have no clue how tough and confusing this test is. There is no viable solution, it’s clear that it’s out of my control, yet there is so much stigma around merely possessing these desires. I know I’ll be getting hateful comments and messages, but I ask that you respond to this with the intention to help someone who has already been through a difficult mental battle alone. Thanks.

2024.05.16 17:53 JakeOfSpades1 Short=ugly.

I’ve posted something like this before. I’m 18m, apparently average looking. I posted on an I ugly and rate me before and got around 5.5 from most. But I just happen to be about 5’6, I’ve been made fun of for my height before, even my own family. My family used to measure me next to my younger cousins because they found it so funny that I was almost the shortest person in the family. Dating is awful too, I’ve been told that I’m too short multiple times and even been insulted over it. I remember one time a girl told me that dating a guy my height would be “embarrassing” that’s part of the reason I’ve given up on dating entirely. I’ve got plenty of friends and get along with most people that I meet but my height is just in the back of my mind a lot just thinking “when’s someone going to mention it next” when people joke about it I laugh it off as to not show any insecurities. When a short man gets mad about something he’s seen as having a complex but if a tall person got angry in the same way they’re just angry. If a short man is confident he’s seen as compensating but when a tall person is confident they’re just seen as confident. Short man complex is not a thing, it’s something people made up to justify bullying and harassing short guys. The halo/horn effect is a very real thing.

2024.05.16 17:52 Internal_Range6093 You should have joined the Army Reserves. Seriously.

My first three duty stations were Puerto Rico, Miami and Tampa. (I'm a white guy from Texas). I made E-7 in seven years. I've picked every assignment I've ever had, and if I didn't like it, I was gone from that unit within a month. I picked my own deployments/overseas assignments and I went to some nice places: Cuba, Jordan, Philippines, Canada, Hawaii, Israel, England. If they don't offer me full per diem, I won't take a tour. I choose what MOS I get and if I don't like it or get tired of it I get a new one. My civilian job pays me full salary when I'm on Active Duty.
I can stop coming to drill for months if I want because my unit gives me that flexibility. They will also release me to go TDY anywhere I want.
No, I'm not a recruiter, in fact I tell people NOT to join the Army because going to Fort Liberty or Fort Moore for three years and breaking your back on a shitty jump then spending a year in an STU/WTU/whatever until they kick you out for pissing hot because you smoked a joint is bullshit.

2024.05.16 17:51 Namasto65 19M from Sweden looking for friends

Hey. I'm a 19 year old guy from Sweden, placing all my cards on the table. Hopefully I will find a friend.
My life is kinda shit rn, just broke up with my gf, recently finished studies and I have nothing to do all days.
I'm not depressed tho so dw about that, I won't push you down. In fact, I'd love to help anyone with their problems! I've been told I'm a good therapist, and IMO its what a good friend is for. Just looking for people to talk/play videogames with, atm i'm playing a lot of Overwatch and Baldurs Gate 3. But I got a fuck ton of games otherwise.
I'm very much into rap(Tupac) and gym(ing?), I like sending pics of my shit homemade food. I can't cook for shit (food poisoned myself with raw chicken when I was 16, not fun! turns out you should NOT eat raw chicken, even if lazy and hungry.) but I try my best. I really just want a friend/friends that I can really trust, and who can actually talk. I don't mind slow replies situationally, but day-long replies everytime is off-putting for me.
You can vent to me, literally anyone about anything. I'll listen to your problems!
Please do not DM me if you are a hrny gay guy or a catfish. I have nothing against gay people, but I have literally never had a gay person add me yet that did not want to see my dck.
I really don't care what you are, how old you are(17+ tho please), or what sexuality you are, anyone is welcome :)

2024.05.16 17:50 scootiepatoot Albatross Acquisitions

Hi! I just wanted to share this new “business” located in the NC area. They are targeting new grads and anyone wanting to get into marketing. Their parent company back in Arizona (Rad Marketing) is known for making their entry-level marketing employees stand at booths in malls and Costco and sell phones. They have been posting seeking to fill this role for a while now. I got a bad feeling about it in my gut when they continued to text me and beg me to interview for them immediately, I’ve never had any legit company ask me to interview the next day and continue to text me over and over until I responded. I told them I was not interested and blocked their number and looked further into them…sure enough it’s a sham. Stay safe from places like this out here guys!

Tell me your elimination ideas for the 1980s rivals that Pedodev's lazy ass couldn't think of!
I'm curious about what ideas you guys will have for the 1980s rivals. There were a lot of amazing ideas for 202X rivals! Considering that this takes place in the 1980s, it may be slightly difficult to think of unique ways of getting rid of the rivals!
But I would still love to read your ideas! :]
I'm not sure if I should continue with these types of posts since I'm not sure what to ask next lol

2024.05.16 17:49 ThrowRA-Yoshi25 I 24F talked with my Boyfriend 30M after our fight and his answer is I don’t know. How can I process this or what should I do?

I 24F got into a three day argument with my Boyfriend 30M for dumb reasons I have apologized for numerous times. He hasn’t apologized for any of it at btw. We talked last night after I went to my moms house because I got upset with him when he was saying he wasn’t upset with me but wasn’t doing the little things he would normally do showing me he was still upset with me over all this. His excuses were I’m not emotionally ready to be around his kids, he was upset about a comment about his grandmas dog, and other comments he couldn’t even tell me. He was upset I just acted normal when I came back home for a blip to get a couple things and when I gave him a smirk when I first left to go to my moms.
Here is my side of this first one I am emotionally ready for his kids he is only saying this cause I keep asking for alone time because I need a break from time to time. I personally am getting overstimulated at work, then we have to drive to his moms house and get his kids and there are 5 kids all under the age of 10 which require a lot of attention so I’m getting overstimulated there. We get home I don’t get time to wind down and relax I do my hw and go to bed cause I’m so tired and then we get up and go back to his moms with kids and all those kids are still there and sometimes more of them are there. All I asked is for one day to myself so I can relax and decompress and sometimes I only need to do it for a couple hours and be in mind you these are our days off as well. I get told oh you don’t want to spend time with me or the kids or oh you don’t love me and the kids and I call him out on that and I tell him no that’s not true and he knows it. He expects me to be this super woman but I have to be able to get a moment of peace to be the best I can be.
Second one yes that one was an bad comment and I can fully agree to that I should’ve been more supportive but instead of calling me out on it he held onto it and is making it a bigger deal then it really is.
Thirdly this all started when I rushed myself to the ER cause I had light headed/dizzyness, my whole body was hot, I wanted to puke, and I started bleeding down there. My mom freaked me out and told me it could be the start of sepsis and I needed to go asap. He wanted me to wait 20-30mins for him to figure out what to do with his kids. I told him I couldn’t wait and went to the ER. Instead of continuing to try and find someone to watch the kids he gave up and sat in the bed watching his car show and sat on his phone and argued with me the whole time I was in the hospital. Where I was scared and wanted him by my side. All he needed to tell me was I’m sorry I can’t find anyone to watch the kids but I’m here for you and you will be okay. No I got argued for not waiting for him and I should’ve waited and all this other garbage. Things were definitely said especially on both sides and I did apologize for what I said and my actions but he is continuing to blame me.
We talked about it all last night and he couldn’t give me an answer where we are at. His answer is idk I need to think. I forgave him for so much garbage and what he has done to me that just because I have been crabby, sick, tired, and want a little bit of alone time he can’t forgive me. He got so drunk last Wednesday he could even change his kids diapers let stay awake long enough to say bye to them when his ex came and got them. Then I called him out on it when we got home and he yelled at me in my face and told me to leave but I didn’t I stayed at his lowest point. He has told me if I was pregnant by b***ch there’s the door leave. The doctors thought I could have been having a miscarriage because of switching birth controls or pregnant and he wouldn’t have cared and hasn’t.
Honestly I’m not sure where we stand either idk what to do. I’m tired of always being the bad guy in his eyes. I’m tired of always having to be 100% for him and if I’m not I’m this horrible human being. If he can’t forgive me for a couple comments then why do I have to alway forgive him for his mistakes and hurtful words. Btw I had sever dehydration and complications from a sinus infection.
I’m also in a pickle cause if we do break up I’m still going to have to live with him regardless till I can find a place to live. I have gone down the mom route but she has told me I am not allowed to move back in with her I have to get my own place. I also did inform him of this in our talk.

2024.05.16 17:48 Real_Professional507 Building a PC for Sims 4

Hi guys! I came on here because I honestly have no clue where to even begin. You guys are the best of the best and give honest and true answers and I respect it so much. So let’s get to it!
I absolutely love playing The Sims 4. I currently play on my MSI laptop (no clue the model but if you would like to know and can point me in the direction of where I can look it up, I can!). I feel as if it is slowly becoming a little too behind for my type of gaming?
I currently play my game with mods, meaning I place things into my game to enhance or add items to it. Some are low poly some are high. My laptop tends to lag because of this.
I’ve been told my laptop is a really great gaming computer but I think for what I’m looking for, I might want something else?
Hence why I’m here to get some advice on what type of PC build I should get to help me play smoothly.
I am basically tech challenged, but I really try my best. I’m looking for something not too pricey as I still have bills and a child to take care of.
I would really appreciate it so much for your help and pointers!

2024.05.16 17:47 SuddenBookkeeper4824 [Advice] Please help talk me out of doing something possibly unhinged (messaging someone re cheating) - in Luteal hell

Hi all,
I am a few days out before my period and I usually get very emotional. I thus do my best to stay away from situations that will trigger me and I lay (lie?) low. Ive done tremendous work on managing my reactivity during this time but I don’t know if i can handle it given where I am in life.
I really want to send this email back to my shady male ex-coworker in response to his email he sent me today (out of nowhere!!). I want to say:
“must be nice to be doing so well. I know we only slept together once, and you led me on and flirted with me while I was a lowly employee and didn’t tell me you were married and now you’re head general counsel to this major company. You used my body and while my life disintegrated, you didn’t help me once. And now you can’t be bothered to help me. Shame on you!”
Okay and this is why (this is long, but this is all important). And my God, I know this sounds juvenile when I write it out, but it’s my life. I basically want to reclaim my power and voice in some way. But maybe it’s misplaced.
CONTEXT:
Basically, I had a prestigious job a few years ago, and one of my senior coworkers flirted with me. He seemed like a really sweet guy and would counsel me on things (especially while I was leaving my physically abusive ex).
On a work trip, we ended up sleeping together (which is a big deal to me). Little did I know, he was also f*cking married. When I found out, I went biserck. He begged me not to ruin his marriage by telling his wife etc. Because I was in an extremely vulnerable place in my life with a physically abusive ex stalking me (had to get an OP against him etc etc), I decided not to say anything. I had too much shit to deal with on top of a demanding job.
Unfortunately, my life got worse since that fateful encounter with my coworkers/leaving my physically abusive ex. I was raped by a multimillionaire I was dating, and he tried to pay me off to silence him. I refused. I eventually went to the police (nothing came of it) but I had incriminating evidence via text and audio of him basically admitting to “wronging me” and paying me “handsomely” in return in exchange for an NDA.
This is where married coworker gets semi involved. Basically, I refused my rapist’s proposal to be silenced and began telling everyone around me about what happened. My rapist in turn hired the most expensive law firm to sue me for defamation. And because of the nature of my work, it got crazy.
So, the law clerk working for the evil judge overseeing my rapist’s case against me was none other than my coworker’s wife!!
To keep a long story short, a few things happened:
(1) as a direct result of the evil judge’s first ruling at the first hearing, I was restrained from talking about what happened. And that judge spoke to the judge I was working for, and I got fired.
(2) this is when my life slowly came spiraling out of control. All the while, I still had to interact with my ex-workers wife (who has sway on how the judge rules) because at the time, I was pro se. She would send both me and my rapist’s lawyers emails on motions, rulings, hearings, etc. It seemed like she was particularly unfair to me. And while this is going on, the ex-coworker would email me asking me for updates on the case. (Keeping tabs).
(3) eventually, I got an excellent attorney to represent me. I not only won, and got the lawsuit dismissed, but I was able to explain to my former boss what happened and he was so apologetic. He was about to retire, so he changed my status from being fired to voluntarily left, and wrote a glowing recommendation.
Unfortunately, life got worse for me from there, and as a result of all the shit and trauma, I haven’t been able to work full time again. I’m trying to get back on my feet; but it’s been hell. I’m broke now. Don’t have a safety net. My living situation is unstable. And my mental state is now functional freeze.
And today, when I got the email from my coworker, and I looked up his new position, I wanted to scream!
Maybe I’m jealous? Maybe I blame him a little? This email to me would = power. Because I feel like I’ve been powerless and voiceless for way too long.

2024.05.16 17:46 Fubukishirou430 Family

Place: A house in Gangseo
The gentle rays peeked through the curtains. They illuminated a room. Inside the room, a woman and a toddler were sleeping. The toddler was a carbon copy of the woman -- black hair and pale skin.
A teenager gently nudged the door of the room. He had white hair and pale skin. He wore a black T-shirt, yellow shorts and an apron with "Certified Chef". He tiptoed into the room.
He saw the duo sleeping. The little one was hugging her mother and was drooling. The boy took out his phone and quietly took photos of the duo.
??? (thinking): My new home screen.
Hae-in: Zy...? Zygarde (quietly): Hey. Breakfast is ready sleepyhead.
He crouched and softly tousled her hair.
[Zygarde Lee]: 193 cm, 90 kg; XX, XXX, A+ (Ascended), SS, XX
[Hae-in Kim]: 181cm, 70kg; MR, LR+, A(Awakened), B, MR+
[Yeon Hwa Lee]: 86cm, 15kg; ???, ???, S, ???, ???
Hae-in (groggy): What time is it... Zygarde: 9 am.
Hae-in was startled. She woke up with a start.
Hae-In: Oh my god! I- Zygarde: It's fine~ Breakfast is ready.
Zygarde gently lifted Yeon Hwa and patted her back.
Zygarde: Yeon. Wake up. I made your favourite!
Yeon yawned and rubbed her eyes.
Yeon (groggy): Mmmm... Zygarde: Yeon! Look it's Taiyo! Yeon (awake): Tayo? Tayo!
The mother-and-daughter duo freshened up and sat down at the table.
Zygarde: Presenting... drumrolls, please... Zygarde: Yeon! Table tap.
Yeon Hwa began flailing her arms and tapping the table.
Zygarde: Samgyeopsal! Yeon: Samamamama! Zygarde: Samamamama!
The trio feasted.
A short while later...
Hae-in: Thanks for the food. I'll do the dishes. Yeon: Play!
Suddenly Zygarde's phone rang.
Zygarde: Who can it be? Oh, it's Yun. Zygarde: Yo man? Right now? Sure...
Zygarde cut the call and looked at Yeon forlornly.
Yeon: Papaa? Zygarde: Papa. Out. Sorry. Yeon: Papa back? Zygarde: Soon.
Zygarde nuzzled Yeon and she squealed and giggled.
Zygarde: I'll be back honey!
Place: A warehouse in Gangseo
[Seongji Yun]: 180 cm, 92 kg; XX, X, S(Ascended), B, XX
Yun: Thanks for coming down. I hope I didn't disturb your family time. Zygarde: Not at all! Tell me. What can I do for you?
Yun explained his predicament.
Zygarde: Do you have to follow his path? Don't get me wrong.
Zygarde gave a reassuring pat on his back.
Zygarde: Is chasing his shadow the only way you can get stronger?
Yun pondered.
Zygarde: Don't give me an answer right away. Could you keep this at the back of your mind? I want you to find your path.
Zygarde's phone rang. He chuckled.
Zygarde: It seems like some people miss me. I'll be off.
Place: A hospital in Gangseo
[Kim Seol Jin]: 184 cm, 79 kg; X, X, B(Ascended), C, XX
Seol Jin sat on the chair with a defeated expression.
Seol Jin: How bad is it? Doctor: His left kidney and stomach have ruptured. His condition has stabilised after surgery. We have to keep him in the ICU. Seol Jin: It's all my-
The doctor exhaled and patted him.
Doctor: I'm sorry to hear about the incident It's important to remember that it's not your fault.
He sat beside Seol Jin.
Doctor: These things happen, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed. Seeking support can be helpful during difficult times.
The doctor handed out a business card.
Doctor: If you feel very disturbed, I can arrange for you to meet one of our counsellors. Seol Jin: I don't think I need it.
The doctor prised the card into his hands.
Doctor: Take it, boy, and get something to eat! You've been here for the past 16 hours!
Seol Jin: Y-yes sir
A few hours later...
Place: A house in Gangseo
Hae-in: Looks like someone needs a nap. Yeon: Noooo... Zygarde: C'mere.
Zygarde gently lifted her.
Zygarde: Hold gently like a burger.
He cradled her and sang her a lullaby. Yeon soon drifted off.
Hae-In: I still have no idea how you do that every time. Zygarde: The secret is being the favourite parent! Hae-in: As if?!
The family sat on the balcony, enjoying the gentle breeze carrying the earthy scent of fallen leaves and the sight of vibrant, colourful foliage swaying in the wind, accompanied by the soothing sounds of rustling leaves and melodic wind chimes.
Hae-in: How long has it been since we had some free time... Zygarde: I know...
Zygarde lay on her lap and glanced at Hae-in. He rested the sleeping toddler on his belly. She was sleeping soundly and hugging her favourite Sanrio plush.
Zygarde: As I look up, the waning sun in the distance perfectly angles with Hae-in, as if a holy aura is surrounding her. Hae-in: Where did that- Zygarde: Her black eyes are akin to a pair of black onyxes. Hae-in: I- Go on? Zygarde: Her lips are like rose petals, soft and delicate, with a natural rosy hue that complements her graceful smile. Hae-in: Wow I- Zygarde: There's more! Hae-in: Go on...
Zygarde gently grabs Hae-in's head and pulls it closer.
Zygarde: And did you know that no matter what...
Hae-in tensed up.
Zygarde: I-
Hae-in lips touched Zygarde's. It certainly wasn't their first rodeo. But it was certainly their first one in a long time.
Their tongues intertwined. And their breathing had a shared rhythm. They closed their eyes to deepen their passion.
Zygarde: Mmm! Hae-in: Hmm? Zygarde (prying himself off): Yeon...
Hae-in became flustered.
Much to their surprise, she had not been disturbed by the whole event.
The duo softly giggled and continued their day.

2024.05.16 17:46 PerpetuallyPostponed Which Four Major Crews Came First: Big Deal or Workers?

Which Four Major Crews Came First: Big Deal or Workers?
Good day everyone. I am currently undergoing an attempt to recreate a PTJ Universe Timeline, but I am currently stuck on one that could be a plot error:
Which Four Major Crews Came First?
The contenders for the title were left to two of the crews, Big Deal and Workers. During the Big Deal Arc, Gun and Goo came to Gangseo to find a suitable crew for the area and caught their eyes on Big Deal, which led them to give the gang a month to gather 100 million won, which they succeeded in thanks to Samuel's plan.
In Episode 310, it was only after Gun and Goo got Big Deal under their wing that Goo returned to Charles Choi's residence to find Eugene presented his business plan to Charles and chose his crew's name to be 'Workers.'

According to the narrative, this should mean that Big Deal was the first Four Major Crews to be called one a month before Workers came to be under Eugene's.
However, the contradiction of this timeline came from the reveal in 3A Arc that Club Vivi is the provider for Pungsan Cult's drugs that led Johan's mother to ruin.
https://preview.redd.it/dfzg1mfa3t0d1.jpg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=185f934bf2cc2c2cfdd4843d762ede11c5756610
While an ingenuine way to tie in a character's backstory with the current conflict, the issue becomes prominent when we look back to Episode 306. The episode concerned the in-between months before Gun and Goo came knocking down the Big Deal Street, where the then middle schooler Jerry was walking under the rain, reading the news about the recently unfolded Pungsan Cult Incident
https://preview.redd.it/h7o4sy005t0d1.jpg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e261970e44a241a4374baecfdac3c69d6f16a002
…he found a weakened Johan lying on the street and decided to take him in.

This series of events affirmed that the Pungsan Cult Arc happened at least a month before Gun and Goo came to recruit Big Deal, and thus, before Workers even came to get its namesake. How does the cult get the drugs from Club Vivi in the first place, if Vivi herself hadn't been recruited along with Mitsuki to be the president of yet-to-be established 2nd and 3rd Affiliates? Who the heck knows. Perhaps she had the Club long before Eugene convinced her to join him? Or is this just the case of PTJ retconning again? What do you guys think?

2024.05.16 17:46 kuw7612 HAS ANYONE HAD ISSUES WITH YOUR PROCTOR DURING YOUR EXAM?

BLUF: I had a new proctor that was not familiar with the GMAT testing procedures (specifically whiteboard usage) causing me to cancel my exam mid-exam during the first 20 minutes. She interrupted my exam multiple times during the first section because I was moving around too much while writing/erasing the whiteboard, and then during the last interruption, she asked me to position my laptop camera so that she can see the whiteboard as I am writing. I told her that that basically made zero sense as there is no way for me to move my camera and see the questions at the same time. Even though she checked the front and back during the check in.
I scheduled my exam for 8:00PM, began check-in at about 8:05, the proctor added me to a zoom meeting where she said she needed "2 minutes" to read through the exam because she was not familiar with it. She then placed me on hold.
At about 8:30, and almost 30 minutes (way more than two) and not getting a response, I left and tried to relaunch and was reassigned to the same proctor, where she answered, did not realize I was the same person, and again greeted me and said pls give me 2 minutes while I read the instructions.
At about 8:45, she finally started checking me in. At this point, I had been waiting for about 45 minutes in an empty room with my computer in a lockdown browser. I have testing anxiety and just sitting waiting for that long drove me insane.
Once she finally got me checked in (including making me scan my room almost 10 times because I was going to fast, not angling the camera so she can see everything, not doing a continuous circle, etc. after each scan she had another issue, made me move my desk to another side of the room because she said I couldn't be near another chair, amongst other things), she didn't realize she need the test code so she put me on hold again to get the code. Once, I finally went to start the exam and verify my name, the system crashed so I had to completely restart.
At this point, my anxiety/irritation is through the roof as it was 9:00PM and had been an entire hour.
FINALLY, once I am in the exam and begin, I start off with Quantative Reasoning as it is my strongest subject, and began using my whiteboard. She stopped my exam and asked me what I was doing because I was moving around too much. I never left my seat and said I was simply writing on the whiteboard. She said okay.
She then interrupted me again, and asked me to position my laptop camera so that she can see the whiteboard as I am writing on, which make absolutely no sense. Because of my frustration with her lateness, putting me on hold, and interrupting me multiple times, I asked if there is anyone I can have a different proctor or reschedule my exam.
AITA???

2024.05.16 17:46 l-lhw does my ex still like me

does my ex still like me
context on y we broke up me n my ex has been in a on n off ldr situation for the entirety of our rs which was unexpected but due to work ntg could be done. my ex isnt a big texter n aft awhile it got tiring as i’m a major texter. so he got abit overwhelmed with increasing work loads so he decided to take a break. but i wasnt too fond of breaks n decided to break things off while being frds. we had also been dating for 2 yrs atp. before this both of us were srs n had planned for marriage.
so when he came back we met up to talk things through but during our meeting we held hands and hugged a lot. i even went over to eat dinner with his parents n we cuddled aft while watching tiktoks. afterwhich he also sent me home n we hugged in silence for awhile. after another work trip he had also bought things i used to like back for me. psa i had started to go no contact then but he kept texting n updating me.
however when i had to collect the items from him he kept gg mia on me n leaving me on read which made me very confused. the other thing is he would text me first n reply dryly?
smt else that confuses me is the way he texts my mother. they r both still very close as my mother has always treated him like family n still does. she will always send him reels that remind her of him ( which i’m okay with as my mother genuinely treats anyone i like with such care n concern) 1. my mother had sent him a reel of pjs n he replied that i would like them a lot. 2. she sent him plushies she had gotten me n he mentioned how one looked a lot like me n was very adorable
tl;dr he always seems to do things i like when i feel like i gotten over him. when i start to feel smt agn he stops. he also has no problem talking abt me n doesnt seem to dislike me.
yeah thats about it for now. i’m confused as to whether i should reach out or remain no contact. also to note that none of us has started dating n it has been about 7 months after the breakup. so what do u guys think?

2024.05.16 17:45 mintjoint should i stick with my job?

so im fresh out of highschool and i had trouble finding a job for about 4 months. i am now working for a commercial painting company as an apprentice. Amazing pay and good work-life balance, but the only thing is that ive been working for 3 months and i havent learned anything about painting or any of that. I think ive only been able to paint like 3 times max. All i do everyday is clean up other people’s trash/mistakes. I didn’t sign up to be a janitor.
A couple weeks ago me and my coworker were talking about the lack of responsibility my foreman gives me, and how it would look bad whenever the owneboss shows up to the site, making it look like im just wandering around not working. We asked our supervisor if I could help him paint while he teaches me, and we were told no because a certain number of people have to stick to whatever task to do. In short it looks better on paper. I saw my boss last week and i was told that theyre gonna start teaching me the principles of painting, but im still stuck doing the same shit everyday. I don’t like working like that, i like to learn while I work.
I havent quit yet because i need to save up money (im in florida) everything is so expensive. I also want to go to welding school. Last reason is because i dont wanna go through the misery of job searching again. I’m not too sure what to do. I was told i would have a meeting after 90 days of being hired and im thinking i should express how i feel about it, might say i dont wanna do it and want to move onto something else. What would you guys do?

2024.05.16 17:44 Creative-Lab1120 I think that being gay in 2024 in the west is a blessing in a way

Disclaimer: This doesn’t include tragic stories of hateful families, physical aggressions, etc.
So, I was contemplating my life today and the people I've encountered. I didn’t have a particularly hard life, I'll admit it. My family was accepting, I had money growing up, I am not ugly (I am not very beautiful either; I am very mid), and I am fairly tall, but nothing too crazy.
I'm sharing all this to help you understand that I am a very average guy who had a fairly normal life (though some might consider it somewhat privileged). I grew up around a lot of straight males, and as we grew up, I realized that despite the homophobia I faced (again, nothing brutal, but it wasn’t easy dealing with it in high school, then things got better), I still think they have it harder than me for many reasons:
1) Dating and Sex Life: While I agree that finding a person willing to be in a serious relationship is hard, straight males don’t have it any easier, trust me. Women eventually settle down in their 30s, but until then, they have very high standards. I personally witnessed my friends struggling to find a woman who is willing to give them a chance. And trust me, I saw some cute dudes having a hard time doing so. Imagine an ugly straight dude and how much he has to struggle to go on a date. On the contrary, even someone like me could potentially have sex daily, and I wouldn’t have that much of a hard time finding a person who would be willing to be my boyfriend. And again, yes, sex is “shallow,” but we all know how much males are obsessed with sex, and biologically, it must be quite frustrating to be horny and not have sex. Also, can we talk about how “brotherhood” goes out the window as soon as two men are interested in the same woman?
You might say, “Well, women have these urges too, how come so many straight males don’t have sex?” My answer is that girls usually go for really handsome dudes, the top 5-10%, and the others are out of luck until girls get bored of the “wildlife” and settle down.
2) Societal Expectations: Gender roles really make these men struggle. “You need to get married before x age,” “You need to have children,” “If you don’t have children, you are a loser.” Gay men are already breaking these rules by existing; no one expects them to respect them later on in life.
3) The Infinite Search for Masculinity: This kind of correlates to the second point, but straight males are obsessed with the idea of being masculine. They don’t wear clothes they like, they walk a certain way, they force some behaviors, etc., just to pursue “masculinity.” If you have straight friends, you know how much emphasis they put into looking as masculine as they can. Now, some gay males are the same, but for the same reason as the second point, I feel like most gay males are not as concerned with it since they already broke this expectation by liking other men.
There are other reasons, but it’s already a long post. Let me know what you think.

2024.05.16 17:44 Fun-Paramedic8191 vancouver vs. niagara ontario

so me and my boyfriend are planning to live in canada since ill be taking a masteral course, and he will be applying for an open work permit. not gonna lie, were also doing this as a pathway to be a resident because damn living in the ph sucks.
anyways, were torn between choosing which province are we going to live in. the agency that we talked to are offering ucw in vancouver, and unf in ontario specifically niagara falls. i know damn right that vancouver is expensive af, but as were doing our research, a lot of people says niagara isn’t a nice place to live in mainly because of the job market, drug problem and the govt itself.
is it worth living in vancouver even though its expensive? is the job market in vancouver good? are the ones who said that niagara is a bad idea just picky? should we just live in niagara since its cheaper?
so what do you guys think? help your girl out. 😭

Hello all, I'm looking to purchase/check out some plants this weekend for my bday.
Do you guys recommend any good affordable online plant shops that you trust and used before. Even on Etsy?
Interested in finding a good PPP, ring of fire, jungle boogie. I'd love a red moon.
