Get a girl pregnant game

I’m 20 years old and have only had sex with 2 people, both long term relationships. I love having sex when there’s a real connection, but after my most previous relationship I think I might want to sleep around a little. I also wouldn’t want a girl that has slept with a lot of guys so I’m kind of a hypocrite there.
So the question, if I meet a girl that shares the same values as me. Would she get scared off when I tell her my body count is 10 apposed to 2?

As the title suggests, OKC have consistently gotten off to bad starts in this series in large part due to Mavs targeting Giddey on both ends of the floor. I don't get the persistence to keep him in the starting lineup when its clearly harming the team. Mark has a huge call to make ahead of Game 5.

This isn't strictly fighting game related, though it was an event that made me realize how much fighting games have altered my mindset towards games. If you'll bear with me for a second, I promise I'll bring it back to a more relevant place by the end.
My parents have a ping pong table in their back yard, and my boyfriend and I have started making use of it. We both suck, of course, but we've been getting a lot better. I win most of the time we play, but that's mostly because he's pretty inconsistent--he's always trying to get really good hits on the ball, generally going for hard-hit top-spin at every opportunity, which leads to him missing the table/ball some of the time. Meanwhile, I'm really just consistent at returning the ball, though very rarely with any force/spin, and often will just lose when he's having a good game because his peak skill is way higher than mine. The only real trick up my sleeve is that I can spike the ball when he gives me the chance to do so, which in a lot of our games is the only thing that actually makes me win because I can at least punish him when he finally cracks and gets a bad hit.
Anyway, we were playing last night after having dinner with my parents, and both my parents came out to watch. It was going well, a pretty close game, when there came a decently long rally. My bf was just positively wailing on the ball, while I was barely hanging on, making a few pretty tough returns consecutively, and somehow managing to last until my boyfriend messed up and arced the ball high over the net, bouncing it up enough for me to spike it and win the point. I was pretty proud of myself, but my dad took issue with it and told me I shouldn't have spiked the ball. He was kind of long winded about it because that's just how he is, but his main points were more or less that spiking the ball is cheap, long rallies are the coolest part of table tennis, and some people wouldn't play with me if I did things like that too often.
I guess I just thought this was really comically similar to a lot of fighting game discourse, particularly from scrubbier players. It made me think about the way people tend to fix upon this one aspect of a game--volleys/rallies in table tennis, and of course neutral in fighting games--as the "real" version of the game, which all other aspects are just an impediment towards reaching. And it made me kind of re-realize just how scrubby most people naturally are. I had a pretty bad attitude towards games prior to playing fighting games, which I've generally thought of as some moral failing on my part. And, while maybe that's some of it, I think there's also just something systemic in the way we talk about and appreciate and play games from a young age that create weird ideas of what it means to play fair--namely, you're not supposed to do things that are hard to deal with. And, of course, I'm not saying you should throw overhand when playing against your little cousin in whiffle ball, and telling the adults not to bunt when there aren't enough players to have a catcher makes perfect sense, but at the same time, most games are more fun if you play them by the rules and allow the cheap shit, and learn to adapt to it over time. Sure, it means I'm probably going to win in ping pong for the foreseeable future, but, with the way things are going, my boyfriend will be destroying me by the end of the summer no matter how many times I spike it.
To round out the story: I went on to win that first game of ping pong after the spike. Then, during the second game, we had a really similar rally that ended with me spiking it. Except, this time, it didn't actually end. My boyfriend managed to react in time and return it while I was off balance, winning him the point. I don't think my dad appreciated how poetic it was, but my boyfriend sure did. (He still lost though that game though, lol)

I'm looking at putting together a server for summer use (aka I want to switch to using my X10QBi as a backup only server that only gets powered on for weekly backups instead of being the primary workhorse of my lab). I'm considering either a HP Proliant DL160 G10, a Dell Poweredge R640, or a Supermicro x11 Xeon scalable motherboard. A pair of mid-tier 1st gen Platinums or a pair of better Golds should be able to more than handle my workload so I'm looking for something dual socket 3647 in a relatively small form factor since I will be using my backup storage array as the primary storage for this cycle. The only other factor is it would need to be able to take a Tesla P4 since my cloud gaming setup would need to move over the box and some sort of sfp+ pcie card.
As far as I can tell the DL160 would probably be one of the cheaper options since you can get one, sans processors and ram, for around $400 but I'm unfamiliar with what the PCI slots can handle and I'm worried it wont end up being able to meet my needs.
The R640 runs around $550-$600 for a similar setup and while I am more familiar with Dells in general I would much rather save $100+ if the HP would meet my needs.
The Supermicro option is a bit of a blind spot for me. If I want to go this route I would need to go 2U which I'm not opposed to but a cheap 2U chassis is going to run me around $200 and with all the motherboard options I have no clue what would actually be a viable budget option but it looks like I would need to go with at least a $300 board to possibly even get started but like I said all of the Supermicro servers I have came with with chassis+motherboard so I never had to figure out the mix and match side of the Supermicro biom.

The same thing i do every night Pinky, watch youtube and my old favorite shows and go to sleep WAAAAAAAAAAY too late.
This isn't my first rodeo, and it probably won't be my last. Lots of lies and scams but its hard to find the real thing.
I'm just a guy who has a lot of love to give. I recently retired early and bought my first house. Its a bit of a fixer upper but its keeping me busy. Everything in my life has fallen into place, except the person i can share it with. Will it be you? hope so.
Things i like:
gaming, 90s and 2000s tv and music, really bad B movies, reading, settling into old man habits, trying to make dinner without setting off the fire alarm, GREAT jokes and a good trivia partner.
What I'm like:
5'10", ambiguously tan, bearded, former athlete that broke his back and is now semi-disabled. I used to be bedridden, I'm working hard to get my life back, and I'm fairly happy with where im at physically but i have to be realistic that i might never be 100% again. If you want someone to climb Everest with, its probably not going to be me. Love all the nerd stuff, minus anime. Deep reservoir of useless facts, funny stories and on point references. Never married, no kids. Lefty by handidness and political affiliation, Trump voters need not apply. Pics on request.
What i want from you:
Spontaneity, Honesty, loyalty, laugh at my jokes, understand my references. Be able to make fun of me, and laugh when i make fun of you. A good wit, a nice smile. Flirty, touchy, and ok with all the lovey dovey nonsense i wanna do. I'm in it for the long haul, hope you are too. US or Canada based, hopefully we share hobbies (would love a gaming partner, ESPECIALLY if you wanna spread some democracy) Someone i'd find pretty (shallow but it is what it is)
Ill wrap this up before it becomes a novel. I lived a pretty interesting life, ill leave some factoids, see if you can spot the one that isn't true!
I've been banned from a town in rhode island for life for throwing a pizza at a cop.
I've been to the north pole.
I created an elaborate scheme to cheat my way through high school
I was once a celebrities personal assistant
I've been in a porno movie
I'm deathly afraid of walking over bridges
I'll never go to Virginia again for the rest of my life.
PS pm's are way better than chats!

hi, I recently got the game with all dlcs from amazon, and theres so many bugs in the game (I play on switch), none of the bugs ever bothered me, I even think it's funny but theres this 1 mission that I cant get through, "follow the traces", where you follow gabriel to find his sister or something
I concluded the mission and it tells me to see gabriel in front of this little river where the old guy(forgot his name but hes the guy you see at harbor at the breeding stable), the pointer tells me to go there and as I get there nothing happens, I saw a gameplay where he has a dialog when you get there but nothing seems to hppen, also, gabriel is not on top of his horse, it's just the horse hanging around :(
is there anyway to fix this? I cant move on with the game if I dont do that mission..... I tried dleleting the game and reinstalling it but didnt work, do I gotta restart everything from 0? tia

im back again with another story! Apparently i didnt learn my lesson, dating malay guys.
Met Z.A on Tinder last year September. On off chatting for several days. One day, Z.A said that hes looking for casual hookups, no strings attached etc. Asking me will i be down and make a trip to visit him for it. Offering me to go on dates around his place as theres a lot of cafes and stay at his place. Im like err ok, why not, but i didnt go at all. We just talked random things about life and he asked for my number. Then, we moved to whatsapp and continued there for a few more days. He would pop in occassionally, asking me when am i coming to visit him.
Fast forward to January 2024, he said hes on company trip at the state im living in, asking would be down to hangout. I replied “🌚” since its been like 2-3months since our last conversation. He didnt reply. Few days later, i saw him on Bumble and i texted him, saying i saw him there. We texted almost everyday ever since with some calls here and there. We talked about life and some deep conversations.
There was a concert on February which i went with my friends and i had an extra ticket. I asked whether will he be interested to join, he was and offered me to stay at his place. That was when i finally met him. We went for brunch nearby his place and back to his place. Hangout for a while to break the ice and went to the concert.
After several weeks, i have another concert to attend at SG. I told him about it, he offered me to stay at his place again and i agreed. I arrived a day earlier and came back to stay another day. He even went to the airport to drop me off. Occasionally, during our talks, he would ask me whether do i like him etc. He said he does. I would just keep quiet or asked him why? He said im different from the girls he met before. Seems like im breaking a lot of his “firsts” in dating as he told me, i.e PDA. Thats why he fall for me. He would act all cutesy at the same time also masculine. Z.A is buff, dresses nice, works in a bank, pampers and treats girl like a queen, willing to spend, sweet talks, understanding…etc
After that, im headed back home by ETS. He would text me “i miss you” etc. Then, i had surgery and was on MC for a month. He would videocall me while i was in the hospital. He was worried and anxious. On the morning i was discharged, he sent me a long text saying he doesnt want to do these hookup thingy, its killing him inside, feeling ashamed, wants to focus on himself, doesnt want to hurt me further, “work, gym and God”. He also said he cherishes our time together, glad that we met, im his kryptonite, meeting me has been the best experience hes ever had on the app🥹
So we stopped contacting for 2 weeks. He reappeared, saying he saw my ig stories, glad im healing well, doing well and enjoying life. Slowly, we started texting back.
Early April, i told him i will be visiting with a friend to do some shopping, asking him whether would be available to meet up as i had to return something he lent me previously. Immediately, he said yes, would love to. Saying he misses me, barely hanging on letting me go, thinking a lot about us, etc.
We met. We talked. We cried. We became exclusive. We were happy. We discussed that any problems we had, we should work it out together. Lets make this work, etc. We videocalled everyday. We met again after Raya. Brought me to a waterfall and petting zoo date. It was fun!
After that, he went to Sabah for a week for work conference and leisure. Three days after hes back, he came to visit me. I brought him to visit some places and treated him dinner.
The next day, Labour Day, we went to a valley with petting zoo in it. We were enjoying our time together happily. Before heading back, i received a message request from someone, asking do i know him and shes been seeing Z.A for almost a year etc. I asked him wtf is this, he started explaining. I was calm throughout the whole thing. Shed a little tear or two. He was balling his eyes out. I asked him, “why are u doing this” “i dont know, im messed up” “both of us came from the same past, and now u are the one doing it, what are u thinking”. He was crying, seeking forgiveness and kept apologizing. I asked him to show me their conversations. I saw some pretty interesting messages, like “u even flew back with me to meet my mother” “u asked my mom for blessing on her deathbed” etc. I just kept quiet and listening to what bullshit crap he wanted to say. I asked him, do u still love her? He couldnt answer. Means yes lo. He said no, hes more like sympathizing her, wanted to leave but couldnt as she was going thru with her family issues. Tbh, i think hes lying. I asked him when are u planning to tell me about this if ur gf didnt text me? He said before he leaves. I think its bullshit. I highly doubt it. It would go on until one of us discovers.
Turns out the leisure part in Sabah, he spent it with GF instead of his colleague which is what he told me🙃. Turns out the whole time we’ve been communicating, he has a GF. Turns out when we started texting back in Jan, she was away back at her hometown for several months, he was alone and had a wandering eye and we were there to comfort each other with our struggles.
During the drive back, we were silent. I roasted him and even joked with him about his work, gym and God thing. We went to get lunch and gelato before dropping him off at the train station. We talked. We joked. As if nothing happened. I asked him whats he gonna do when he gets back. He said he gonna talk with her, he will be a single man after midnight. One thing he asked, “are u gonna post me on reddit” im like lol “is that ur main concern right now”
He left, saying i love you and see u again. I replied his GF text. She was waiting at his place for an explanation. She was asking lots of questions and i was overwhelmed. I did not answer every one of them as i quite hesitant idk why. She said she would leave his ass and i can have him lol, saying i should let him wine and dine me and leave his ass. He called me when he reached his destination, telling me his thoughts and what he plans to do. He even said he will call me when he settled with GF. He didnt hahaha. The next day, i texted him what happened. Theres he goes, apologizing, seeking forgiveness, saying they reconciled, lots of things to fix with her, settling with her decisions and rules etc. I asked him why is he on dating apps since u have a gf. He said at that time, the gf has a lot of guy friends she always hangout with, to the point lepak at their house. He was insecured, told her he dont like she did those and they would argue everytime about it. So he downloaded it back to stop overthinking and be jealous of it, in case she cheats on him. Then, he blocked me on Whatsapp & Telegram, deactivated his IG, Tiktok and LinkedIn. Basically any social media that i could get to him.
GF still texting me for 2-3more days asking more questions. She said that he really did have feelings for me. In the end, she said we should stop communicating, she couldnt deal with any more stress. She told me that she was mad that he speaks like me, adding “lo” behind words i.e i dont know lo, i dont care lo. I asked why did u take him back? She said she wants focus on things he did right instead of wrong 👏🏻. But she wont forgive and forget. Honestly, its a bunch of crap. I dont trust their words mostly.
I told my friends about this. Few said hes a penakut. One said GF is like “GuanYinMa”, picking up trash.

• i just wanna vent and share my experience. dont bash me for it🥺

Lately, I’ve been reading Game of Thrones, and it strikes me how much I enjoy reading a long-form series where you have so much time with the characters and can get so deeply invested.
I’ve read sapphic fantasies before, but a lot of them are YA stand-alones or just don’t seem to grab me the same way. (For example, Girls of Paper and Fire. They got together so quickly, I was still pining after some buildup.) I prefer stories aimed at a higher age group (nothing against the YA books, just not what I’m looking for right now.)
I started reading a Chinese novel called Clear and Muddy Loss of Love a few months ago, and it’s the only thing with sapphics that has had a similar effect for me. (It’s more historical, not fantasy, which I also like, but you get my drift.) I tend to really like danmei but don’t find as many baihe that are also translated.
People have already recommended The Jasmine Throne and The Priory of the Orange Tree to me. Just wondering what else might be out there as far as adult long-form fiction specifically with characters that have really deep connections and don’t feel shallow, like a lot of sapphic stories I read unfortunately feel for me. The Locked Tomb is also something I love, because of how unhinged the characters are for each other, but I’d like something more romance-focused.
So, anybody have recs? At least two volumes in length, with characters who are obsessed with each other? 🙏

hey folx! 26tf here who just started playing chess last year. i’m just under 800 elo for both Rapid and Daily, and float around 600-700 in Blitz. (Chess.com)
I’d love to have some more pals to get into some daily games with c: maybe learn a thing or two from, or teach a thing or two to if you’re lower rated than me.
im on both Chess.com and Lichess, so feel free to hmu!!!
I’m big on 1. e4 e5 thanks to Chessbrah, and I tend to play the Dutch against everything else as I still lack for a system that feels more comfortable against 1.d4. What do you like to play? c:
My favorite players are probably still content creators, as they’re the ones I see most often. That said, I would really like to learn to play like Lazavik as I improve.

Hello all, returning player here and I have a over fulltime job and a family so it's hard to get things done in this game and I'm definitely struggling, was wondering if any players out there wanted to sell me some plans for building, I see in lots of personal vendors alot of people are selling plans for cheap but it's hard to find things I can actually use. I'm definitely struggling with gears right now and I'm trying to get the plans for the 3 generators I'm missing(solar, nuclear, and fusion.) along with other building pieces and decorations( beds, appliances, floowall decor) And the industrial water purifier. If anyone has these plans for low prices please shoot me a private message so we can meet up I would really appreciate it. Im not that rich but I've been grinding for caps lately for this exact reason. Thanks to all in advance and see you out there!

Hey so I’m struggling to find swimsuits for bigger bust size. I hate when I go into a good well known store and all I see is these tiny little swimsuits for girls with small busts. Why is that being normalized when girls everywhere have all different types, it not ok. I’m getting off track, all I’m looking for is a good brand that fits well? Anyone know any?

Windows Installation can’t find any drives to install windows
Hey this is my first PC build and I believe everything is set up correctly, but now I’m stuck at the windows 11 installation.
Before I go further into detail here are the build specs
MOBO: MSI B50 AMD MOTHERBOARD GAMING GEN 3
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x
GPU: Zotac Gaming GEFORCE RTX 3060
M.2 SSD: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN580 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive SSD
RAM: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB DDR4 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz
The issue I’m having during the windows installation is when it asks where I want to install windows. Normally my m.2 SSD would appear as an option but in this case it does not appear. At first I thought I didn’t install the internal SSD correctly, but after checking my bios I saw that it’s being detected. I updated my bios to see if that would help and I’m still having the same issue. The error message that occurs when windows can’t find a drive to install to is this “We couldn’t find any drives. To get a storage driver click Load Driver”
I’ve been searching everywhere for an answer and I haven’t found a single one please help :(

Ocean Planet is developed & designed by Adam Ali, known online as Adam314. The game is set to release in August 2024.
This is my first ever game, and the first game in my Planetarium series.
My goal with Ocean Planet & the Planetarium series is to combine a gameplay style inspired by 'Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy' with a focus more on atmospheric visuals and audio.
The game is ocean themed with ocean themed sections - Bubble Factory, Pirate Cove, Seafood and Blue Palace.
For the games style, I wanted to take the Frutiger Aero Aesthetic, and make it more modern & mechanical.
I developed the programming, gameplay, level design, graphics, and UI for Ocean Planet.
Permutative made all the ambience & sound effects, with a hypnotic style.
Keep an eye out for Ocean Planet updates, including other future games I develop for my Planetarium series on my YouTube.
Ocean Planet Steam page - Coming Soon

I have been spending most of my time practicing at Monza in the Huracana ST trying to get better to continue on in career mode. I figured I should get good enough in the game to post decent lap times against AI before I jump online. I really am hoping to avoid ruining someone else’s experience because I don’t know what I’m doing. I spent about 30 hours on that track in that car and the best I could do was a 2:05:xx without any consistency at all. I have been playing inside the cockpit the entire time, for immersion. It was very frustrating not having much improvement over so many hours and laps.
A couple of days ago I was messing around with the different view options. I ended up trying the furthest view from behind the car. The very first lap using this view I got a 2:03:xx, and that was just me having fun with it and not really trying. It was the fastest lap I had done. I kept using this view and my lap times continued to improve and I become very consistent. Now my best is a 1:58:xx. I tried going back to a more immersive view and I was back to posting worse times without any consistency. I just felt like the car was harder to turn and became less predictable.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone with some experience have any idea as to why this is happening? I’d much rather drive from the dashboard view, but if it’s making me 5 seconds slower and inconsistent then I won’t. Maybe there is something I’m missing and someone else may be able to provide some insight?
Btw, I’m playing on an Xbox using a G920 on a sim racing stand with a DIY seat connected to it. I’m playing on a 65” TV.

So I have a full stack of twigs, leaves and other items that you get in the game, but can't seem to sell or even use (like twigs and leaves) are they more useful with other things (E.I. using the twigs to make coal)?

(29M) About a year ago I got out of an abusive relationship. My former partner(Female a year older than me) would not hesitate to be mentally abusive, and on some occasions physically. She was also financially abusive. And controlling. My former partner had BPD and knew lots of ways to manipulate my neuro divergent tendencies. Things like telling me i was stupid, I was nothing without her, I didnt have any friends ect. The instances of abuse were always framed as my fault because in her words I "just pushed her and pushed her and pushed her". a year ago I escaped that situation and since then have not really shown any interest in having an intimate relationship with anyone in that time. I was also in therapy and still am. Even though I didn't try to pursue an relationship, women would still show interest in me and these things have been detrimental to my self worth because these women show interest and then for whatever reason are deterred from ever talking to me again. The first instance was a girl that showed a lot of interest and even gave me her number with out me asking for it we texted for 2 months and she began to text me less and less. I eventually just asked her about it and said that she didn't want to give me the idea we could be more than friends even though she was the one who pursued me and wanted to talk about deeply personal topics like the kind you would if you were romantically interested in some one. I decided to just move on but this did make me feel really dejected and like I was unfit for anyone to really want to consider me as their partner unless they had ulterior motives of control and abuse as those seem to be the only relationships I've been in throughout my adult life. Which is only reinforced by my cycle of thinking as I didn't date or even have a lot of friends in my teen years. After this I met a girl at a bar who was actually working there. I know that bar staff are supposed to make you feel welcome and be overly friendly as I've been in quite a few, but this was different. I would come to this bar with a friend of mine and it was known and would be well on display that I was the designated driver. I've never really been much of a drinker, my friend on the other hand enjoys his libations. He tends to ask me to go because he knows I can keep him in check, and because I train martial arts can keep the situation under control if things get out of hand. Essentially he knows I can ensure he's safe and I can keep a conversation going. Anyway this girl notices I'm the dd because I'll only get a water when we come in and starts to leave from behind the bar and bring me a water when we walk in regularly. We also start to engage in conversation pretty heavily. So one night I came in by myself because my friends work schedule had changed I gather all my courage and ask her for her number. She seems pretty happy about this since we had been talking for the better part of 3hrs before hand and she even gave me a hug before I left. I texted her a little while after leaving the bar so she would also have my number. I received no reply. I figured she was busy so I didn't think too much of it. A whole week goes by with no reply. I finally decided to send a text jokingly asking her if she was ghosting me. I get a one sentence reply stating "heeyyy I've been busy" about an hour and a half later. I text her back "hey don't apologize I'm here when you're ready to talk" I meant it as a nonchalant reply like "hey no rush I'd just like to talk when your free" I wasn't upset or anything but I suppose it could've been misconstrued as being passive aggressive. That being said she never replied to me again. The feelings I mentioned previously creep back in and I don't even talk to another woman until almost 7 months later. This was also not a planned instance as I had gone out to a bar to participate in a kind of baby shower type get together a friend of mine was having. I didn't plan on talking to anyone who was woman, especially since the party I was going to was divided by gender as some celebrations of a child being on the way will be. I had already been at this bar for a few hours and was planning on leaving until my friends wife decided to bring her party over to the same bar and it ended up being just a casual hang out as the women that were involved with the mother's part of the get-together were now intermingling amongst us. As this was happening I had noticed one of the women had a tattoo of the avenged sevenfold logo on her back. I struck up a conversation with her about how I was a fan of theirs in junior high and so were my friends. We then continued to chat and I found out that we actually had a lot of things in common not just music taste,and that we both played guitar, but also stances on politics and humor and just about anything else we talked about. I talked to this woman for close to 8hrs we even went around the corner to a pub to get food. While we were doing this she invited me to come over to her apartment we then proceeded to sit on her couch and share different songs and genres we liked with eachother and talking about life, while smoking weed as she had a prescription and I suppose didn't want to be rude so offered me some. I'm not a smoker really but obliged. While this was going on I did disclose to her my financial situation and that I lived with my parents because I was trying to get back on my feet again. She seemed really supportive about this as well. We later started watching the show black mirror and were starting to get closer physically her legs were draped over one of mine. Her chest was over top of mine. My arm had slid behind her back and our faces were a bit close. I'm really cautious about consent and personal space because of the abuse I went through so I asked her "hey would I ruin the vibe if I kissed you?" Kind of nervously as I was a little high. She just kind of giggled and said she liked to take things slow. I said it wasn't a problem and respected her decision and we continued watching back mirror in the same position. Later she said she was going to go to bed and I said I would sleep on the couch. I kicked off my shoes and was laying on the couch still high. The door to her bedroom which was across the apartment from the couch only about 8ft away was open and I turned my head and asked "hey did you want me to come to bed with you?" She said yes so I promptly went into the bedroom and we began cuddling. I fell asleep. The next day I woke up and we still cuddling. We both kind of woke up at the same time. We talked a little while still pretty much spooning eachother. While we were doing this she kissed me. We then kind of softly made out, talked a little got out of bed sat on the couch, kissed a few more times, watched black mirror. This whole time I've gotten 2 calls from a friend of mine who I am in a band with we practice on Sundays and I was going to be late I considered not showing up but ultimately relented and decided I didn't want to be clingy and wear out my welcome especially since I hadn't planned on any of this and she had slightly been hinting about starting her Sunday routine and I didnt want to throw off her process to get her week started. So I decided to leave. I kissed her again told her I'd really like to see her again and left. A few hours later while I was at band practice I sent her a meme She replied about a day later. Since then our texting was really scant. She did sucrose when we met that she wasn't on her phone a lot and didn't text that much so I chalked it up to that. I tried to really have a conversation going but couldn't. I also asked if she wanted to hang out that Thursday as I had the day off. She said she was busy which I thought no problem. Oddly enough I got an update on Facebook that she had posted in a musicians page I'm a part of about wanting to meet up and jam with other people that same day. Also we didn't add eachother on social media so she had no idea if I would see this. I though it was weird but didn't really think anything of it outside of "hey I play guitar too why can't we hang out and play?" After that I got sick and she happened to stop texting me. The next week I sent another meme and sparked a sparse text conversation that went nowhere. Then a few days after that on the advice of my therapist I decided to just ask her out on a date. I was ignored. This made me feel like utter fucking shit. As well as being confused as to why she would spend so much time with me, kiss me, and even half ass text me. To just ignore me. The thoughts I previously mentioned crept back into my skull and were very intense. I started to spiral and think why it would happen. I thought about my physical attributes, about how I was over six foot tall, about how I was in decent shape, about how even some of my male friends and people in a professional environment had told me I should be a model, tha I was "handsome". I'm kind and compassionate. I try to be a great conversationalist. It just didn't make any sense to me it didn't feel fair. I was heartbroken as I though I had met someone who actually appreciated my taste in music (she Even told me I had good taste in music), the fact I was kind of awkward. She liked my point of view and ideas on things. She liked that I looked out for my friends. She seemed to accept me. After all of that I didn't it wasn't even real I guess. Since then I was having a lot of negative thoughts I even found some old Facebook messages this girl had sent me when I was a teen in which she was emotionally manipulating me Essentially wanting me to be limerent (she had even posted on my wall about how she cared about me and was sorry she couldn't make it to my graduation that she never intended on going to) which added to all of this negative thinking I had been experiencing lately. (I even thought to myself I sounded like an incel which also was disheartening those people suck and I dont even want to be considered in the same catagory as men who would treat women that way) I really just don't know what my problem is and I just don't want to try to get back in to dating as well because I don't like this feeling of being dejected and not feeling worthy of some one else's love. I'm left with this deep hurt and I just want to say fuck it I'm done.

I recently used the free trial for Premiere Pro. I'm working on a YouTube channel and generally my editing skills have been considered pretty good. Latest video was made with Premiere Pro, before that I was using CapCut.
Unfortunately I had various issues using Premiere that have temporarily turned me away from it. To start, I often edit videos alongside having YouTube open, as either a reference or a source for the content I use in my videos (either screen recording or downloading mp3/mp4 files). When Premiere was open, YouTube didn't crash, per se, but it would revert to a functionality that could be compared to the speed and responsiveness of YouTube in 2005. Upon closing Premiere, reopening, testing a few more times, yes, Premiere being open caused the problem. I'm using Chrome for YouTube if that helps.
In addition to this, Premiere really didn't like a lot of the MP3 files I tried to use. Most of the time I had to convert them to WAV files, or download them as WAV files, which is another annoyance that just doesn't exist on the previous software programs I was using. Some of the MP3 files worked, most didn't, and I couldn't find a connection.
Mostly, the issues with the interface I can handle, it's a new program, it's going to have a learning curve I have to get through. But the issues like the ones above really just turned me away. Oh, and the program did crash once, and my entire computer also crashed and had to restart itself.
I'm using a Gaming Laptop, the specs are: Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics RAM: 16 GB (15.4 GB usable) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti
I may be dropping Premiere for now, unless I can be convinced otherwise. But with the specs mentioned above, should I be having these strange issues? Should I invest in Premiere again once I've upgraded to a full Gaming PC setup? Or am I really just doing something wrong?

I realize a “good” Pokémon is subjective — but I’m talking about ending your search, willing to invest shards and handy candy type of good.
And not asking about your recent good get or latest shiny! This is about length of time and effort, do you go weeks — months — without finding anything good? Are you on your 50th Rattata catch and still haven’t gotten one with BFS?
I’m just curious if I have reason to be discouraged or not! It’s been about 3 weeks of terrible catches for me and am wondering if I’m just unlucky or if this is pretty normal for the game. Thanks for any input!

Hello,
I’m currently pregnant with boy/girl di/di twins, I had two NIPTs with no results so was referred to genetic clinic.
I had an anatomy scan at 18 weeks and received report back with baby boy showing small nasal bone length and a choroid plexus cyst present.
Baby girl showed a possible ventricular septal defect (fetal echo needed to confirm), and larger abdomen, no other comments, just that it was measuring larger.
At this point I’m waiting to consult with genetic counsellors but am leaning toward doing an amnio. If everything looked good I was going to opt out, but now with these markers I think I have to.
Does anyone have any similar experiences? I’m really hoping we have at least one genetically healthy baby. I can’t bear the thought of two that are unhealthy. Some good vibes/thoughts/prayers (whatever you believe) would also be greatly appreciated!

I've been feeling down for a time now. I cannot get out of bed, been ignoring everyone, stopped eating, been thinking on killing myself. Heck, I can't even enjoy things anymore like just watching movies or playing video games.
And what comes to all the time is that is my fault I am who I am. And I hate who I am, but slowly I've been accepting that I'll be stuck with myself and that negative part of myself for the rest of my life. I thought I had it in control (appart from the mood swings, sometimes I "disassociate" and turn really violent), but lately I just can't control it. This feelings, and thoughts, and actions I don't mean to do are rapidly destroying the achievements and relationships I have slowly built. And I hate myself for that. I can't take it anymore and it's killing me. No medication, no therapy, and no "self-love" is fixing me, and I have to accept it.
And the worst part is that this is all my fault. I could've spoken out when that asshole molested me when I was 6. I could've learn to trust people so I wouldn't isolate myself and making me the perfect target for being bullied. I could've decided so many things that would've broken that pattern. I could've not wait until I was 22 to finally speak up. I could've just kill myself when I had the chance to.

It’s gunna be a long one so I suggest getting your self a drink get comfy and I’ll try to make it the easiest read I can. As the title suggests this is what happened to me, my wife and our 2 year old son. The lord as my witness everything written is 100 percent true and accurate with many witnesses.
I don’t even know where to start this so I’ll just go from where I feel is relevant, I 31 male moved to Cornwall uk in 2018 then 24 coming up to 25. I moved into a beautiful one bedroom flat with sea views with nothing but a motorbike 1 bag on my back and a starting date for work 18th February 2018.
All was fine everything was going good life was finally looking up I moved from a city to rural countryside breathtaking beaches, beautiful people and I was ready to finally start adulthood. When I moved into my flat I had nothing, absolutely nothing apart from 7 days worth of clean boxers and socks a guitar and some chef whites. The flat was unfurnished apart from a bed frame and a chest of drawers so naturally I would have to buy everything I needed while I was there, I didn’t even have a mattress for my bed. 2018 was a big year for Cornwall as we had the beast of the east, heavy snow (now I like snow and being a northern boy I was used to it but this stuff came down thick and heavy)! As I said I had a motorbike for transport and I was in work when the beast of the east hit and obviously couldn’t ride back home as the snow was about 2 ft deep by the time I left.
So I walk home and as soon as you entered my flat my bedroom was to the right of the front door a cubard directly in front of you my bathroom just to the left and my living room just down the hallway to the left also. In my hall way I had a shoe rack where I always used to put my shoes, now given I had just walked 3 miles in the snow I could swear I put my bike boots on said shoe rack when I got home. Any way I carried on with my evening as normal and played guitar drank a few beers and just generally chilled before getting my head down. I was sleeping on my couch as my mattress hadn’t arrived yet, but the next morning when I woke up my bike boots was in-front of the couch like some one had jumped on them walked up to where I was sleeping and jumped out. Not only that my heater had been pulled out of the alcove it was in and turned on. I passed this off as nothing it was probably just me and I didn’t remember.
Fast forward a few months nearly a year and I’m all settled my flat is great, my work is great life is good. I met a beautiful young lady (that’s now my wife) although we just started as friends. I’m so happy.
How ever I worked on a holiday park as a chef, one day I get a knock on the back door to the kitchen. There was a man that I had been serving all week and he said sorry to bother you but my wife would like a word with you. Now I’m thinking great what have I done now. But she was smiling and happy and said to me is your gf or wife pregnant I had neither at the time, so I responded nope why do you ask? She told me her name it was carrol (forget her second name) she was a head at a spiritual church in wales. She proceeded to tell me I had a little boys spirit following me around and she could see him. I didn’t know how to react, so I just said oh ok really! And took her details added her on Facebook etc etc, now a few months go by things in the flat was getting weird not that I recognised at the time but like things moving / going missing and I just played it off like it was me being tired from work.
Again fast forward a little bit I’m dating my now wife and mother to my children, she’s staying over but she worked evenings till early hours in the morning when i would wait to go pick her up, at this point I had sold my motorbike to buy a car (more practical and I needed one as per the condition where I worked was I had to have a car to collect stock of a morning).
One night she was in work I was sat at my table designing her tattoo for the back of her leg as I love to draw, I used to have lanterns on my table that where on like a metal frame but they could swing. That night I was drawing both lanterns where swinging in unison so I FaceTimed I will call her red (as I don’t wish to identify her by name). While on face time I showed her the lanterns and I stepped away from the table thinking my shading was moving them and the second I did I swear to the almighty lord they stoped dead! Dead centre like they hadn’t even moved. She witnessed this and was like what the ****.
But once again we put it to the back of our minds and fast forward a few days / maybe a week. I used to have a picture of red and her best friend one of them stupid long ones that you get from a photo machine at an arcade, locked behind my intercoms phone. One day we was stood in the living room and i promise no one was near it but this picture came from behind the phone and landed in the middle of the living room floor. We laughed about it at the time and was like oooooo spooky but we was stupid!
So strange things kept happening red hated being in the flat on her own and hated being in my room as I had a built in wardrobe and she would always say she felt uneasy. The strange things never stopped but we always just brushed it off. Until …….
Our son is born now there’s a 2 year gap where my little lad I’ll refer to him as A, the happings never stopped or eased but we would always just pass it off, how ever when A was about 2 he would always talk to him self in the kitchen and say brother, look daddy brother but not a second later he would scream. Any one whos a parent knows there kids sounds and this sound instantly got my back up am talking as a father hearing my son make this noise I was ready to kill, the anger and rage that I felt inside was something I can’t even put into words, my baby boy was terrified of something and fatherly instincts kicked in.
Every morning while at this flat I would wake up with little bumps or marks across my body, but I always thought it was where I slept or how I slept, but red noticed the same time my lad was doing what he was in the kitchen I was waking up with what looked like chain marks around my wrists and arms and sometimes I awoke with scratches not 4 or 5 like a human hand but 3, just 3 linear scratches across my body.
Covid 2.0 come along, we all get locked down now hear I am with a young family so I did my door badge, I got night work as a security guard and red would refuse to sleep with A until I got home she would always say it felt like something / some one was watching her.
Now red had family down, and said family is a medium (at the time I would have laughed at this as I was very much so on the fence). But one night reds auntie was at her mums house and was doing a reading. During this reading she said she become overtaken by an entity she started pulling this horrible smile that my little lad used to do. (I wasn’t there to confirm this). But the next morning red and I and A are out and about in the car just been for hot chocolate when red gets a phone call from her mum.
Are you with T (me) red says yeah why? Her mum says get T and A to mine right now they both need to be saged with a white feather. So at this point I’m like *** off laughing but then I thought **** it I’ll ride the bus to the next stop. I walk into reds mums and her aunt (who I’ve never ever met doesn’t even know my second name) says to me you would have had a little boy, he would have been around 5 now and his birthday is in July.
Truth be told before I moved to Cornwall I had relations with a lady they should have been forbidden and she fell pregnant, but unfortunately lost the baby. How ever she was pulled to one side by a stranger in the street whom said 10th of July he would have been here.
So this lady reds aunt doesn’t know a thing about me but knew this, knew what faces / smirks A used to do and knew about him screaming from the kitchen and climbing up me in panic. She hadn’t seen or heard any of this no one had.
She proceeded to tell me I had a evil entity attached to my back and that’s why i suffer with back pain, this entity was hiding behind the spirit of my unborn and when A seen him or tried to interact with him he would come out from behind my unborn to scare him. He would use A•s fear and trauma as energy to try and make its self stronger as its end goal was me. It was terrorising my son to get to me.
I went white what the actual **** is going on, I spent the next few weeks thinking I was going insane. But things at the flat was getting worse I contacted Carrol and she said go into every room every storage room / cubard every dark space and say if you are not here with love and light then I command you too leave
A was getting more and more anxious in the flat, around this time we had been accepted for a house and one day he was in the hall way, I was getting the hoover out and he kept slamming the door on the cubard shut saying no daddy I thought he was being cute. I was wrong.
As things started to escalate we tried to reach out for help I’ve gone from a sceptic to a full on believer. We went to a witch shop a couple of towns over, the sell crystals candles etc etc. but when we walked in the woman wouldn’t even look at me, I tried to explain my story but A started messing around so I took him out side and this lady said to red no candles or crystals are going to help him with what he’s got she gave red two business cards for 2 white witches.
So let’s fast forward again at this point reds had enough A is unhappy! But we have a new house to move into so we said we would stay in the flat one last night before we go to the new house the next day. Our last night in the flat didn’t last from the second we walked in it felt so cold so unwelcoming just horrible atmosphere. So we packed up and went and slept on the couch in our new house. That was the last time red or A would step foot in that flat.
I had given my notice to my landlord about moving so I was there cleaning with L that’s reds sister and as we are cleaning we are both in separate rooms, she is in the kitchen I’m in the bedroom I hear her scream and then she ran into the room I was cleaning. Turns out this thing was not happy not happy at all. She was cleaning the cubard under the sink and as she tried to close the door she said it felt like something was pushing against it. She let go of it and it slammed shut. I did actually hear it from the bedroom, I told her to calm down it will be ok and we will work together.
I walked into the bathroom now this flats been empty all day I had had a wee when I first got there but other than that, nothing no one had used the bathroom. But when we walked in there was water everywhere sink was soaking wet, shower tray was soaking and the black and glitter tiles where soaked. We just wanted to get the **** done and get out. That night she left and swore she would never go back. Any who
I get reds mum over to sage the flat and she said she hated being in there, and I have 3 friends they are all into the paranormal, and wanted to explore the flat. I allowed them in as they where down on holiday and I’ll call him S is just like me emotionally dead only had two but after he left that flat he got in our friends car, he broke down in full blows tears and said he’s never felt so empty unloved and lonely. Another of our friends said he saw a long thin figure in the living room all in black with no eyes and was not of this world. He said the reason it had no eyes is because the eyes are a portal to the soul and things not of this plain can’t copy the eyes.
Any way let’s move on I left that flat and every time I left I had to say you are not welcome to follow me or attach to me, you are not welcome in my home or around my family you must stay here or go back to where you belong
Me red and A have lived in our new place a couple of years he’s happy no more screaming and running up me, red is comfortable and I haven’t awoke with chain marks since we started living here.
Red has crystals on all entry and exit points, she had the house saged, but on a whole she is happy and content, I am just never allowed to talk about these events infront of her. Last I heard that thing is still at the flat with my little unborn boy and my A•s grandad who did well to protect A.
This is my story that changed me from a sceptical to a firm believer in paranormal entity’s.
