2024.05.16 22:10 Individual_Dance6806 Getting ready for SFRE. Starting from square zero. Fitness/General preparation advice

tl;dr: I want get myself in shape both physically and mentally to follow the 18x pipeline to becoming a Green Beret by ideally next year. Currently, I recognize that I need a better sense of direction and am looking for advice/tips/feedback on things that I could be doing.
I've recently acquired an interest in pursuing the 18x contract pipeline and going on to become a Green Beret. I've been absorbing a lot of information and resources on the matter. What I'm trying to do in this thread is get a better sense of direction on what to improve on and areas to work to improve my chances of getting approved at as SFRE, getting enlisted for an 18x contract and eventually going off to selection and the myriad of other things that are required.
As of writing this I'm currently 31 years, 5'11" and 150lbs. . Needless to say I'm kind of a string bean. I've never been especially active or pursued much in the weigh of sports, lifting, running etc. Today I did some cardio in walk/run intervals and it was difficult, but I got through it. I wouldn't say I'm in the worst shape ever, but obviously I have a lot of progress to make.
My main focus is increasing my physical fitness. Being able to run to the standards that SF requires and also meet the strength requirements. My plan is continue to train my cardio until I get to the point I comfortably jog for 30 minutes without stopping then I'll start adding in rucking and hiking longer distances in different terrain, dirt, sand, etc. and toughen up my shoulders/increase my endurance.
For strength training I'm starting off with some similar calisthenics routines to build some initial muscle and strength then move on to lifting free weights at the gym. Increasing my functional strength and overall health/posture in the process.
I'm also taking up a sport. Tennis seems like a great combination of cardio and hand eye coordination. I also just think it would generally be a fun sport to train that would supplement the rest of what I'm doing.
Obviously, there's a lot of progress to be made and I know I'm asking the obligatory "how do I get in shape" when I have access to the internet and there's countless other threads undoubtedly on this board that cover the topic. I suppose what I'm asking is that does this physical plan seem feasible?
On the other end of the spectrum, I know that selection comes down to more than just the physical standards. Those are essentially a prerequisite. I'm looking to learn and be as prepared as I can for the selection process. I'm going to enroll in a firearms course. Get a good sense of land navigation since that plays a huge role in the process. Some boxing classes and further my understanding of medical knowledge. I'm even considering playing airsoft/paintball as a way to get familiar with at the very least and elementary knowledge of some small unit tactics.
As far as applying what I am able to do in the immediate, I'm trying to do my best to excel in my life and at work. Trying to be a better team player. Trying to set a much higher standard for myself and make sure my department is functioning as high as it can.
My understanding is that the age cut off is 35. I would like to believe that I can get myself as ready as humanly possible come summer of next year with consistent training and studying.
I apologize if this post comes off as one long ramble, because it somewhat is. I'm feeling very motivated to pursue this and become the best version of myself I can. It's spilling over into so many different areas and has me moving around with an extra pep on in my step. I don't want this to be just a wild ambition that fades away so I'm making this thread in an effort to gather whatever advice, feedback or criticism it attracts.

2024.05.16 20:10 exfoliate99 24M on and off with 23F for a year. Is it worth continuing?

Hi, I’m 24 year old male, and there is a 23 year old female. She is best friend of my close friend. We know each other for more or less a year, and we met right after my previous break up. I know that she was still struggling with her previous relationship back then (break up, but mine was quick and sudden, hers slow). We hanged out for a few times, but then she said that she is not comfortable with me being freshly out of a previous relationship which I completely understand and understood then as it was early on and my ex was messing with my feelings for a few months after that. But I and that new girl kept texting each other and meeting up occasionally. During last year I dated few girls, and I don’t think she did. It is difficult making any plans with her because she is busy with school friends and other errands. It’s also opinion of our common (best) friend as she mentioned that a few times spontaneously. She wasn’t the quickest responder, but texts with her were always long and thoughtful as we were talking about many topics at the same time. I felt like it wasn’t leading anywhere and that’s why I tried to cut it back a few times. But we were always coming back to the same situation. Recently she texted me that she is missing me and my blabbing. We texted a little and recently I asked if she wants to go to a wedding soon with me and she agreed. We hanged once or twice and she invited me over to her birthday party where we kissed which she initiated. After that me met again twice, she introduced me (kinda, I knew them a little from past year situations) to her friends but without any physical contact. I tried to initiate it but she acted like she doesn’t even think about it. And now I’m in the same situation again wondering if she wants to do anything with me as we have something to do planned but she is busy now with exams and errands but also meeting up with her friends very often. Please comment on that as I’m leaving the uni soon and will live an hour away from her and tell me if maybe I’m retarded for my way of thinking or actions. Or is it her just not being made for being in a relationship? She is also mentioning sometimes that she wants to move abroad after finishing all her education which will take a few more years. Excuse me for these long sentences, English is not my first language

Mamacchi shared several stories with precious photos today about Saya's childhood, which Saya herself does't even remember!

PIC1: Little Saya went to Disneyland. When the show started on stage, she voluntarily ran out of her mother's arms, run to the front of the line by herself, started performing a robot dance, and the audience applauded to her. You could say that she was destined to be in the public eye from that point on!

PIC2: As she often mentioned on WNL, Saya specializes in short distance running race since she was a child. But somehow this photo lacks energetic feeling no matter how you look at it, which really suits her elegance temperament nowdays www. Also at that time, Saya was saying the word 平均台(the balance beam for sports) as 処刑台(the execution platform scaffold) at home, which was super hilarious for an elementary school girl XD. Saya explained that it was because she was influenced by the manga ONE PIECE www

PIC3: Little Saya holds the famous electronic pet F U R B Y www. She was especially fond of Furby and owned three as a child. Both the mother and daughter more preferred AIBO, the "AI" robotic dog known for its very high price but few features www, Saya liked to play catch ball with the robot puppy. Back to 1999 one first generation AIBO costs 250,000yen and the market price was even higher! Some viewers immediately realized that Saya's family was really rich. But we Saya fans have already surmised this from many sources, and in fact most of her junior WNL casters, starting with Yukki also come from very wealthy families. Clearly the rich casters don't work at WNI for the paycheck, the job is valued for other things, it's off-topic so I won't expand on it, just a little reminder to hopefully keep some misunderstandings to a minimum.
This is a very funny and heartwarming live stream of a mother making dinner for her daughter and having a drink together. Thank you Mamacchi for raising Saya as a great woman, you are truly a great mom!

2024.05.16 18:33 LongjumpingLoss2910 [Physics IA Help] How does angle of inclination of a ramp affect the maximum altitude a ball will reach.

[Physics IA Help] How does angle of inclination of a ramp affect the maximum altitude a ball will reach.
Hello, I am trying to set up an experiment for my physics IA but I am not sure if it is good enough. My idea is to bounce a ball off a spring for it to roll up a ramp, and change the angle of the ramp to determine its final altitude and how high it will roll up the ramp. I am not sure if this IA topic is too simple, as I dont think there is a lot of room for errodevivation from theory.
Attached is a drawing of my experiemental setup:
https://preview.redd.it/z871xrq8et0d1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a81930adbb2dfa386ff9ca1abdf9e4aa7d76157
The equation I dervied to explain the motion is as follows:
1/2kx2 = mgh + µmgcosθ * hcscθ 1/2kx2 = mgh + µmghcotθ
h = 1/[2mg(1+µcotθ)] * kx2
But shouldn't this mean that the angle that acheives the highest altitude is 90? I am sorry this might be a very elementary and stupid question but I am struggling at this stage. Thanks in advance!!

2024.05.16 18:20 GoldCoinsForADream Do you read/open your spouse/significant other "snail" mail?

My husband and I both do. Whoever grabs the mail, goes through it regardless if it is for me or him. We also know each other's e-mail passwords, account passwords, phone patterns, and sometimes we use each other's phone interchangeably.
Many times we answer texts for each other too. IE: I am in the garden/or busy cooking and someone texts me, my husband tells me: " just texted you. Want to reply?" If I want to, I let him type the reply. And vice versa, if he is doing something.
The reason I am posting this, it is because this topic came up today at work. A coworker (let's call her Mary) was furious at her husband for opening her "snail" mail. It seemed strange to me to get upset for such a thing (I didn't say anything though) and all other coworkers agreed with Mary too. They say it was a matter of trust, and spouses should respect each other's privacy.
Maybe because we have been married for so many years (double digits) and know each other to the point we know what the other is thinking without speaking and finish each other's sentences, neither he, nor I see it as a lack of trust or breach of each other's privacy. Also, (in case you wonder) neither of us has ever done anything to break each other's trust during all our years together.
I was curious for those on this reddit, if any of you do, or my husband and I are some rarity.

2024.05.16 17:32 Rhayok1234 Hitting a huge stumbling block in Athenaze

So I've spent the last two or three months going through Athenaze, teaching myself Greek. For a while, I was struggling with the different cases, so I switched over and rebuilt my foundation with the Logos textbook, it worked well I've gotten much better at seeing the different cases in action within the sentence.
Anyway, I decided to move back to Athenaze because I felt the more conceptual parts like tense and some vocab words were easier to grasp when expressed directly in Athenaze. I have worked up to chapter 11 and I just feel like I'm stumbling so much. It's not that I'm not comfortable with the topics, but I just feel like condensing all of the concepts together and then the adding different tenses and the "ing" Verbs etc is starting to really get to me. I decided to go and restart the textbook to build my foundation up again, but I'm still struggling with having all the concepts up to chapter 11 synthesized together to understand the more complex sentences.
Has anyone experienced this? What were your methods of improvement?
An additional question is what are some of the biggest or most common hurdles that people have noticed here?

2024.05.16 17:25 Euphoric_Extent_4979 How do I [36M] communicate to my wife [31M] that her relationship with her brother [30M] is damaging our marriage, and my career?

Before I dive in, know that I love my wife and I want to fix this. I’m posting in RelationshipAdvice for a reason. It will be a lot, but please don’t read it like an AITA post and pass judgment. I need some honest advice, and I’m miles away from my real-life support network.
The TL; DR is that my wife has (re)developed a bunch of conversational habits from hanging out with her brother. These habits leave me feeling excluded, stressed, and are messing with my work. Trying to address them has opened a whole can of worms, mainly that my wife hates my entire problem-solving style.
I’m keeping details vague in case she stumbles upon this post. Please, if you think my story doesn’t add up, or you think you know where I am and want to offer real estate advice or whatever, keep it to yourself.
We got hitched and moved in together right before before Covid hit. Started off great, but after six months of lockdowns and masks, we realized we could live anywhere in the country without paying through the nose for coastal housing. For context: I work in tech, and my wife is a performer. We met in a bar, and honestly, Covid was the wake-up call that my career hadn’t lived up to my potential, probably due to alcohol. So I accepted the reality that maybe my career isn’t going where I hoped, and isn’t likely to – and instead of chasing after it, we should downsize our expenses. I counted my blessings for having a wonderful wife instead.
I negotiated permanent remote work. We aimed to move to the low-cost state she grew up in. Her brother, who I like way more than my own family, hooked us up with a place to rent near his house. Bigger than we needed, but I was okay with it because it had space for a home office. We boxed up our lives into a truck and moved.
Here’s where it gets complicated. My wife has always been talkative, and she can be pretty dang loud. Not sure how much of this I didn’t fully realize before. When we were dating, we only saw each other a couple of days a week, and in our first place together, we never had visitors thanks to the pandemic. But when she's with her brother, she talks like she's trying to command a room full of first-graders. She also doesn’t adjust her volume when she’s close to me. I have tinnitus, and she has literally made my ears ring by talking while leaning on me
Next up. I feel like a jerk saying this, given what I know about the word ‘shrill’, but hear me out. If the two of us are in the same room, she’ll use a tone of voice that seems intended to be impossible to ignore.
Third, if I try to join the conversation, my wife will interrupt me and steamroll right over me. Part of this is because she has a strange conversational rhythm where she seems to be done talking but then BAM! She jumps back in at an even higher volume, after the pause. So if you think it’s your turn to speak, you get interrupted. She does this even when no one else is talking. She will interrupt me to finish my sentences, nearly always incorrectly. She will interrupt me to tell me I’m wrong about something, ruining my flow. She will interrupt me to take over telling a story, telling it worse by missing key facts and rambling at higher speed.
Fourth, she doesn't seem to organize her thoughts before speaking. At all. Couple with what I just mentioned, you've got her cutting off anyone who dares to chime in until she's “talked out” the subject with everything she can think of. By then, everyone else is bored and over being interrupted when they try to jump in. So, the topic just fizzles out, and she covers that up with nervous laughter.
Fifth, if I try to ask questions to follow along, she gets mad that I’m interrupting her or ruining her flow. So I’ve given up on questions. If I lose track, I either catch up or I don’t. I can’t zone out because of her volume and tone.
Sixth, after she’s been around her brother, she maintains this kind of conversational energy when it’s just us. Her brother can be just as loud, and raises his voice and talks over her right back in the moment. But when we’re in any group that does not include my wife, he’s back to an energy I can converse with. She does not switch back, not unless she hasn’t seen him for at least a week.
Seventh, their parents’ first language isn’t English, and they immediately switch to it as soon as I leave the room. If you know the language I mean, it makes every conversation sound like a fight. I figure, if they’re not including me anyway, why talk in English while I’m around? Why can’t I just leave you guys to talk? No, because then my wife gets mad that I’m a bad host, that I “hate” her brother, or calls me a “rude teenager”.
Eighth, 90% of their what they talk about are their opinions, mostly of family members, reality TV, or random AITA stuff. They just keep regurgitating the same views about people, social issues, capitalism, America, over and over. When I do get to throw in my two cents, they often react with anger. It feels like a low-effort bonding activity: like we’re constantly reaffirming the group values – and verbally punishing transgression – rather than discuss anything new. Her brother isn’t like this away from her.
However I slice this, it’s incongruent. If they want me involved by speaking English, why not let me chime in? If they think they're entertaining me, why not make sure I'm following? And if I'm supposed to zone out, why use a tone and volume that's impossible to ignore?
The impression I get is that my wife thinks my role is to be her passive audience, plain and simple.
There’s more about my job, but first, how I’ve failed to address this so far.
First, the loudness. According to both of them ‘that’s just the way we are,’ so it ain’t changing.
I haven’t addressed the tone, I can’t figure out how to without starting a fight.
Interruptions. My wife has had four levels of reactions when I have brought this up. First, she straight-up ignores it. Second, she acknowledges it, but with an eye roll like I'm just being petty. Third is to get mad, call me an asshole, or accuse me of silencing her. Fourth, she blows up and yells all kinds of crap (“you’re evil,” “you just hate my brother,” and incongruently, “you two are douche-bros together”), which after she’ll say she didn’t mean. She’ll then start crying about losing me, or even making her brother hate her. She’ll make me swear to keep reminding her. But in the moment, when she’s not upset, she’s back to eye rolling.
Rambling. My wife’s response is that I do the exact same thing, and that when I do it, it’s extremely boring. What she means is that if I’m excited by or trying to explain anything technical, she tunes out as soon as she hears a word she doesn’t understand, and stares right through my head until I stop talking. Apparently, this is ‘polite’. Asking questions, saying I'm not interested? Just rude.
How she changes her behavior around her brother. Raising it makes her mad. She has straight-up told me, “I will always pick my brother over you.” In her more honest moments, she’s admitted the thought of me developing a beef with her brother is one of her worst nightmares, so her anger is really for of that outcome, directed at me. She gets that this is counterproductive, sometimes. But this conversation is tough.
Switching in English. They forget this and slip back to ‘politeness’ rules. I have to be careful how I word ‘I have no interest in this conversation’ or ‘You don’t need to talk in English’ or they both say I’m rude and get mad.
My wife has also said she hates the way I solve relationship problems, calling it ‘patronizing hippy crap’. For instance, I ask people what their goal is in saying or doing certain thing (“What’s your intention in talking so loud?”). This immediately makes my wife mad, like she thinks I’m playing sociology professor and using brains to outsmart her. Thing is, she will say a LOT of things she doesn’t mean in an argument, and I tend to take things literally, so I need to check that she doesn’t actually mean “You’re evil”, otherwise the argument escalates for other reasons.
I feel like she retaliates for feeling like I’m trying to impose some kind of intellectual superiority over her by trying to impose some kind of “social intelligence” superiority over me. “Of course people don’t mean everything they say in fucking arguments, are you retarded?”. She’ll misinterpret what I’m saying in a way that implies I’m real dumb, then moves the conversation on before I can defend myself. All of which is exacerbated by how her habits push me out of the conversation.
Onto work problems. My job requires two things from me: hard problem-solving which needs long periods of uninterrupted focus, and rapid incident response. Being interrupted/talked to while I’m deep in work disrupts both of those. Neither my wife nor her brother (who’s a contractor) stick to regular office hours, and they both like to knock back a few during the day. Now, I have no issue with that, but I do have a problem when he comes over, starts drinking with my wife, they have loud conversations which I can hear from my office. Often from one room to another.
My wife doesn’t appreciate me complaining about this since she “should be free to enjoy her own home” and I “can easily get another job.” I’ve tried explaining to her that no, I can’t easily get a job that pays the same in this state. Either I’d have to hunt for increasingly scarce remote work, or we’d need to suck up downsizing and potentially moving away from her brother. She refuses to entertain any of this.
Things have improved slightly since I started composing this post, but only after a chaotic incident. She stormed into my office to look for something, mid-argument with her brother. In frustration, I took off for a drive to clear my head. Of course, there was an incident while I was out, I missed the notification, and got written up for it.
I’ve tried talking to her brother one-on-one. He’s a realist. Rent a private office, and get ourselves into couples therapy. My objection is straightforward: the cost of commuting, office rent, couples therapy (no cheaper here, lower quality by all accounts), on top of our current expenses, exceed what we were paying before we moved. All this because my wife won't adjust her behavior to accommodate my needs, or respect my job.
They often invite me to drink with them during lunch and sometimes suggest blowing off the rest of the day. Despite my repeated refusals, they persist, considering it polite. I find it rude and disrespectful to keep pushing. They've even labeled me as "boring”. But what really grinds my gears is when they invite me out and I decline, they think they've got a right to grill me about why. A few times, when I've had enough of their pestering, I’ll state my position more firmly, and then they’ll get real mad that I’m being “judgmental”, and think I’m better than them. So now if they invite me anywhere, I just shut it down with a simple "no" and zero explanation. Which bugs them, but at least it keeps the peace.
There are a ton of other emergent/secondary annoyances I could get into, but let's cap it at three.
One, since I’ve said they’re both being hypocritical about me being ‘judgmental’ (even though I wasn’t) in refusing to join their plans, when the majority of their conversations are judging other people: it has become a game to them to point out every time they think I’m a hypocrite. I answered my wife from another room once. She brings it up as my ‘hypocrisy’ whenever I mention she’s yelling to her brother in another room, and she’s right next to me.
I think it’s different: her yelling in the house upsets me, but my ‘hypocrisy’, she enjoys that. We aren’t trading vices. If I realize I’m upsetting my wife, I stop doing whatever it is that’s upsetting her. She seems to be telling me that she doesn’t care to adjust her behavior to stop upsetting me. And that the real problem is that I keep talking about it, rather than just quietly suffering through it.
Two I've likely developed obnoxious habits just to maintain some space in conversations with my wife, such as speaking louder to overcome interruptions.
Three, my wife will talk to me at any time, without paying any attention to what I’m doing or even whether I’m wearing noise-cancelling headphones. She’ll interrupt me whilst I’m holding a mop, vacuum, trash bag to remind me to mop, vacuum, or take out the trash. She’ll interrupt me while I’m tackling a chore to give me instructions. I don't understand them, she'll take over, do it the exact same way I was, then huff about it. She’ll interrupt me whilst I’m getting ready to remind me to take my wallet, throwing off my train of thought and making me forget what I was looking for. Which I’ll then forget. She’ll interrupt me while driving, for random observations (‘look, a cute dog!’) no matter how many times I tell her it’s dangerous.
It’s hard to explain how much more restrictive this makes my life feel. I avoid tasks that will take over 20 minutes unless my wife is out. My wife and brother both mock me for traits (lousy memory, lack of focus, disorganization) which they exacerbate with their behavior.
When my wife is away from her brother, she returns to her usual self, the woman I fell for.
My gut tells me her family has a toxic way of communicating (the rest of her family are borderline abusive), and she learnt to tone down of those tendencies while away from them. She is more at ease with that way of speaking with her brother, and she falls back to it with him – and is trying to force me to adapt to it. There’s probably a side order of some history of feeling sidelined in male-dominated groups, so she’s acting out on that trauma and making sure out-talks us both. She’s got zero patience for boredom, which is why she butts in and won’t take extra time to make sure I understand – and why she thinks my ‘long rants’ are way longer and more boring than hers.
Her view is that conversations are boring unless people are excited, and excited people interrupt and talk over each other constantly. I hate that, because a conversation just feels like a constant fight to participate. It’s draining and I’d rather not socialize at all.
She describes the way I’d rather talk – back and forth – as “pompous, like you think you’re a king who can’t be interrupted”.
I don’t have a support system here since everyone I know here is through them, and everyone back home still believes I successfully rode off into the sunset. So, Reddit, how do I better communicate my needs to my wife? Both to not lose my job, and to enjoy conversations with her?

2024.05.16 17:00 Dependent_Cake_9512 The conundrum that is the NG+ Pawn

I have been thinking about this as of late and have not seen another post about it and am curious what the community thinks.
In the true ending we see how our pawn has gained a lesser will of their own. So when one starts a NG+ your pawn welcomes you back, seemingly remembering that the last world changed its course. And yet not only does the affinity reset, but so seems to be the will they gained.
What are the implications?
Is this truly the same pawn we finished the first run with and if they are, would it not convey that they too are stuck in a never ending cycle of gaining a will just to lose it all over again even though the lore meantions them not being bound to the happenings of one world alone. Not to mention how weird it is that a pawn with high affinity seems to have lost all of those rather strong emotions. Because for a pawn to decide by themselves to sit next to their arisen on an oxcart, instead of defending it like the rest, does feel like the start of a will manifesting no matter how unremarkable it might be. Was this an active design choice which is supposed to tell the player something, or a part simply overlooked for a lack of time in development or other reasons.
But what about the effect it would have on the gameplay
Of course this is the simple answer. For gamepla reasons. Why should they still follow your command afterwards? Would it not feel even more out of place than just erasing the will? But the longer I thought about it, the less it feels like the correct answer. Yes our Pawn gained a will, but in their own words it is a lesser one. A fledglings will. It would have been possible to show your pawn having evolved with small things. Some new sentences or them just roaming your dwelling instead of standing right next to you all the time. Just the way they already do it in a tavern. A will still easily overwritten by that of the arisen, be it by choice or nature.
And lastly, as mentioned before, the affinity resetting feels even more weird to me. Because at that point I have to wonder how much this is actually MY pawn.
Thoughts?
Some theories? Has this topic been brought up before and I have just missed it? Feelings?
TDLR:
Pawn loses their will and affinity. What could be the reason
PS: Added a random screenshot, because it makes the post feel less bland with just text and nothing else.

2024.05.16 16:37 Fuzzy-Acanthaceae-73 Am I an introvert or is my friend toxic?

Hello, I have been a new resident in a foreign country for less than 2 years and my language skills are still quite basic, though I can mostly understand everything.
I have this one friend that I met when I arrived and that I never quit though we already had some big arguments and he made me mad and/or cry a few times. We basically meet a few times every week, sometimes every day and we’ve lived big moments together, we also traveled together to another continent, he stayed with my family...
The relationship has evolved from a situation where I would give and do everything for him without him doing much for me, to a situation where he proved on some occasions to help me and support me too. But I had to make him realize that.
When I meet him alone, everything is usually very great and makes me love this relationship and admire my friend more every time. We chose English as our normal conversation language as he wants to progress in English and it’s still more convenient for me.
When I meet him with any of his friends or family members, which most often I learn at the last minute, and didn’t choose, it can be a different story. Sometimes I feel totally excluded and I wonder what I’m doing here. I don’t know if I’m 100% at fault or if his behavior makes me an introvert. My most recent exemple is yesterday. He invited me to go pick him up and his cousin. From the beginning, he ignored me and didn’t do anything to include me and seemed to reject any of my attempts to get into whatever they where talking about. He would show funny pictures to his cousin, I’d try to take a look too but I would remain ignored. Conversations which are 100% in English between him and me, are only hold in his native language whenever there is anyone else. Whenever, I try to say something in his language, he doesn’t seem much interested in whatever I have to say. One of the worst moment I had to live yesterday was when he started playing online chess on his phone with his cousin as if I wasn’t even there. Later in the night, I decided to imitate their behavior and started playing UNO alone on my phone. Only for my friend to notice it and say to his cousin: let’s play chess again. As if everything was perfectly normal.
Much later, after hours, he started to notice that something seemed to be wrong and said: « oh you’re so silent tonight ». To which I replied: « you’re talking one to another about your topics, you’re playing together, what can I even say ». After this, he started chit-chatting with me and the night ended like this. But after everything that had happened before it seemed so fake.
So I know myself and I know that some situations can easily make me an introvert. But I don’t believe his behavior when other people are around, help me.
Something else that he often does is to shut me up to silence whenever I say something that’s about the future. For example, a few nights ago, we were talking about travel plans and hotel reservations, other guys were even looking on their phone for options and hotels. The minute I believed to have myself found something interesting, I didn’t even have time to say my full sentence that he shut me up and said: « oh it’s okay we have time hahaha ». A few days ago too, he was talking about going back with me to a pasta restaurant that he really liked and he was talking about maybe going there on Sunday. I replied: « maybe Monday would be better because you already need to go to this city for your appointment there ». He instantly replied to me: « maaaaan we have time, it’s not yet come on ». I couldn’t keep myself from replying: « I talked about this because you talked about this otherwise I wouldn’t have said anything » Even his cousin told him: « yes it’s true you talked about this first ».
So now I’m trying to understand what all of this is, because when im alone with him he’s acting in such a lovely manner but when other people around, it’s so different. It constantly makes me upset

2024.05.16 13:40 Incman [long read, ~10 mins] I delivered "goodbye for now" letter to nMom that I still rent a room from, and I'm feeling vulnerable but also hopeful for my own future.

[I just recently learned of this community after I had shared this in the raisedbynarcissists sub, and I couldn't figure out how to crosspost it so I'm just copy&pasting]
As the title states, (and despite the existential risk to myself - as I am disabled, impoverished, and my survival is reliant on the room I rent in her attic - given her recent threat to have have me thrown out by the police because she could not handle the feelings she had during the argument that she initiated), I have finally drawn a bright red line in the metaphorical sand regarding my nMom's treatment of me. This is the culmination of 8+ years of sustained, one-sided, unreciprocated, and unsuccessful effort on my part to sustain, salvage, repair, or improve our "relationship".
 
Reading through some of the posts on this sub over the past day or so has been very validating, as one thing she's always been extremely committed to is making sure she's the loudest voice in my life telling me how invalid all of my emotions and experiences and realities are.
 
I am very grateful for anyone who takes the time to read this post, and any input, commentary, criticism, insight, commiseration, etc, is welcome and appreciated (especially on the topic of being NC-except-as-a-tenant). Her lifelong response to my needs or inconvenient requests for respect or attempts to hold her accountable for her behaviour (throughout literally hundreds and hundreds of interactions that she has walked away from or hung-up on) has essentially been "tl;dr 🖕". So I'm acutely aware of the length of what I'm written, and I'm very used to her cold (or even mocking) avoidance and dismissal of valid issues by commenting on the length or format of my communications without ever engaging on the merits.
 
Anyways, enough preamble, here's the full letter (all of the square-bracketed disclaimers and AI-summary are part of the letter as delivered to her, to try and counter the acute and selective illiteracy she develops whenever she begins to read something she doesn't like):
 
[Start of Letter]
 
[This document begins with a 382 word AI-generated summary (titled "AI- GENERATED SUMMARY:" below the square-bracketed opening remarks), estimated at 1m23s time required to read. If you are unable or unwilling to make it through even this brief summary, then there is literally nothing else I could possibly do to assist in your comprehension of my positions. The full message following the summary is approximately 2100 words, estimated at approximately 8 minutes to read.]
 
[If you would like assistance in understanding things I've written that you're struggling to interpret or comprehend, you can go to chatgpt.com (no account necessary), or download the ChatGPT app from the Google Play Store on your phone. You can simply interact with the chat in natural language (in other words, type as though you were texting another person) and it will understand what you are saying. If you are struggling to understand how to interact with it effectively, you can simply inform it of that (in any wording you choose) and it will assist you with altering your approach to receive more effective results.]
 
AI-GENERATED SUMMARY:
 
Your son's message is a powerful declaration of his boundaries, grievances, and intentions within your relationship. Here's a breakdown to help you understand:
 
Preface: He advises you to read with an open mind and, if needed, with assistance due to the emotional complexity.
 
Declaration of Disengagement: He firmly states his decision to disengage from any form of interaction or acknowledgment outside of essential landlord-tenant matters.
 
Condemnation of Abuse: He accuses you of perpetuating a cycle of abuse that has deeply impacted his health and stability.
 
Rejection of Coercion: He dismisses the idea that being evicted is a viable solution to the abuse, highlighting the coercive nature of such a choice, and how it leaves him vulnerable to further harm.
 
Criticism of Your Behavior: He unreservedly condemns your actions, particularly your exploitation and manipulation, emphasizing the gravity and effects of your conduct.
 
Challenges to Your Claims: He directly confronts your claims regarding his efforts in the relationship, asserting that he has consistently made extensive attempts to maintain it, despite your accusations to the contrary.
 
Commitment to Compliance: He unequivocally affirms his commitment to compliance with all landlord-related demands, demonstrating his unwavering respect for your authority as the homeowner.
 
Demand for Clarity: He demands clear and unambiguous knowledge of the requisite terms when any changes to living arrangement paradigms are demanded, underscoring his willingness to comply with any directives you may issue.
 
Defense Against Gaslighting: He firmly asserts his unwavering commitment to respecting your property and authority, preemptively refuting any attempts to accuse him otherwise.
 
Insights into Your Behaviour: He offers insights into patterns in your behaviour, linking them to moments of vulnerability or distress in your life.
 
Call for Self-Reflection: He urges you to seek professional help for your narcissism and unresolved childhood traumas.
 
Caution Regarding Gravity: He states that failing to address your responsibilities would be a missed opportunity for both of you to salvage the relationship and resolve underlying issues.
 
Reiteration of Hope: Despite his current stance, he leaves the door open for reconciliation if you undergo necessary personal growth.
 
Closure on Unequal Effort: He firmly states that he can no longer sustain the one-sided effort in the relationship and won't continue to do so.
 
It's evident that he's deeply hurt and demanding acknowledgment, change, and resolution in your relationship.
 
[end of AI-generated summary; my full, non-AI-generated message follows below]
 
[I recommend that you read this in its entirety at a time and capacity level where your literacy and comprehension are at their highest level, and preferably with the interpretational assistance of a knowledgeable and competent support person or technological assistant.]
 
[Presumably, after reading a few sentences or less, your defense mechanisms will be activated and you will eject. However, as with the vast majority of the things I have said to you that have gone unacknowledged, I am completely certain that the contents are cogent and comprehensible, and I believe that with competent support and vulnerable effort you undoubtedly have the raw cognitive capacity necessary for comprehension if you are able to stabilize your emotional reactions and put real effort into the actions necessary for you to understand my words.]
 
I will not talk to you.
I will not look at you.
I will not approach you.
I will not acknowledge you.
 
If you attempt to interact with me on any interpersonal level not related to your role as a landlord, I will reserve the right to express just how fucking despicable it is to treat such a vulnerable person with such utter disregard and abuse for so fucking long.
 
The cycle of abuse you have maintained to destabilize me for your own pathological reasons has caused - and continues to cause - extensive damage to my health, stability, and existence. However, since I know your response to this would likely be some variation of "you're not a victim here [my name], so if I treat you so bad, just leave", I'll preemptively and unequivocally condemn such coercive and abusive tactics, and state again (as I did the other day), that the forced choice between your abuse and life-threatening-homelessness is obviously no choice at all, and leaves me perpetually subject to your coercion and abusive control.
 
Such exploitation by you is absolutely disgusting, and honestly I understand why you run away from yourself at every single instance where you're in danger of having your lifelong house-of-cards ego even slightly threatened. I know if I treated another human being the way you treat me for even a moment, let alone for the literal years you have done so, I would not be able to face myself in the mirror either. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself.
 
You say I "don't want to be your son anymore", as though it has been someone other than me making hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours of efforts and attempts in order to try and single-handedly keep our relationship alive, and as though it has been someone other than you who has stonewalled me for years about every single legitimate and valid time I attempted to gain even the slightest foothold as a full human being in the owner-pet relationship you have fought so hard to maintain. You siphon, in fact demand, emotional supply whenever you so choose, and then fucking discard me as soon as it appears that I might do anything that would result in you losing even a fraction of a percent of the 99% to 1% imbalance you believe is an immutable part of our "relationship".
 
I will do my absolute best to be in my room as much as physically possible when you are home, so as to minimize the need to be physically adjacent to you in the course of our respective activities of daily living.
 
I, again, remain unequivocally committed to my position of deference and compliance towards any rules/demands related to my existence, presence, or activities as your tenant.
 
As you refuse to provide any sort of unambiguous guidance or clarification whatsoever regarding your shifting demands affecting my ability to access/perform basic activities of daily living, I will continue to act in good faith with respect to my adherence to all previously-established arrangements and protocols (whether codified or de facto) regarding such activities. To the full extent of my abilities, and to the extent that it is physically possible, I will immediately and unequivocally comply with any alterations, additions, or excisions you choose to impose regarding the nature of our physical coexistence as landlord and tenant, regardless of your disregard or intent for any harm to my stability that will ensue as a result.
 
If you intend to attempt to manipulate or threaten or gaslight me to illegitimately and dishonestly accuse me of failing to comply with your rights and demands as the homeownelandlord, then I can assure you that such efforts will be ineffective and inadvisable. The extensive history of my genuine, documented, and unwavering commitment to absolute respect of your home, property, and landlord-tenant authority is unassailable, and nothing has or will change about the good faith nature of my efforts to simply live peacefully and work on stabilizing my health and continuing to attempt to develop basic protocols that offer me the opportunity to seek the ways and means required to sustainably exist, survive, and seek meaning and fulfilment as a human being.
 
To try and make it a bit more bite-sized (without warranty as to the efficacy of said efforts), since I know when your ego is threatened you conveniently - and dishonestly - become completely unable to read a couple thousand words:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I love you, and goodbye for now. I hope to see you on the other side, but I cannot force you to undertake the journey.
 
- [my name]

2024.05.16 13:35 CryQuick2584 I (26F) am struggling with wanting my father (69M) to see a dr about early onset Alzheimer's, what can I do about it?

Hi, thanks for taking the time to read. Disclaimer: This is not a request for medical advice, I am seeking advice on how to broach the subject and how to act/speak with my father.
I work at a retirement center for memory care and assisted living. I have first-hand experience with memory care patients and both of my grandparents on my father's side died from Alzheimer's and Dementia.
To preface my father married a narcissist (67F) who constantly gaslights him examples are: hiding things and pretending like she doesn't know where it is, purposefully booking the wrong hotel rooms/ flights, etc, and being fake nice to me. To be honest she is the worst. (context because I think she is making his memory worse on purpose)
Anyway for about three years, I've noticed his memory has gotten much worse. The first occurrence was my 23rd birthday where for 3 months I told him I only wanted one gift and nothing else and I sent him specific links to it and asked him to accompany me to the store for it. He and his wife took me to dinner and gave me different gifts (I assumed it was just something extra for me for whatever reason) and then when we went to get what I asked for he said he didn't know anything about it and started screaming at me and having an argument because he didn't remember it and never agreed to it which I have text messages where he did.
Speed up to today, he repeats phrases, it's scary when he's driving because he forgets where he's going every three minutes and swerves multiple lanes because he thinks he needs to take an exit when he doesn't, and he gets very agitated about things he can't control. He even asked my good friend and her boyfriend at dinner if they had kids yet three times in one hour. He goes on and on about the same three topics and when I call him weekly he updates me verbatim with the same sentences. To note: he is a very spiritual person aka he meditates daily and practices spiritualism. Therefore he doesn't believe that it is possible for him to even have Alzheimer's because he meditates. I have had at least three interventions with him already about his memory, once with my sister and his wife and two others with me and me and his wife. Every time he goes into this childlike defense mode where he shuts down and feels as though it's an ambush or it's a total delusion to even think this way. I am spiritual too and always suggest even a holistic doctor to see but to just do something, anything. He refuses to even see anyone. I am getting more anxious every day thinking about him getting into a car accident or something.
Someone please give me advice on how I can cope, handle, or act in this situation, I am just so worried it consumes me. I love my father so much and just want to protect and help him. Thank you again for your time.

2024.05.16 12:34 Mavelovent 31 [M4A] Pl/online - Seeking genuine friends or at least gaming buddies. Someone relatable.

Hello. As states in the title I'd like to find someone I can either befriend or at the very least be able to reliably play games with. I don't wish to study social media engineering and ways to create an ideal post that will garner plenty of attention, so I will simply write what I think a decent post that would make me interested would look like.
I am 31 year old male from Poland that lives with depression (it's nor exactly "struggling" at this point, more of an acceptance without ability to fight it), NEET, programming and fantasy nerd with aspergers syndrome, unable to make friends with anyone at all. No longer wish to work on myself, I just want to talk and play games with someone long term. Talking and playing games with people are the only joys I have in life and they are very much hard to come by.
I've figured that showing some things you are proud of could help, here are some of my gaming accomplishments (yes, I know these will be cringy to most people, but these are things I'm genuinely proud of. I hope at least some people would share these sentiments).
Again, I do not wish to flex these but simply wish to show that I am proud of something, achievement hunting and honing gaming skill is something I feel most at home with. I wish to share that joy with someone and hopefully make friends. I have ~1000 games available so perhaps there is something we can play together?
Aside from games I have interest revolving around manga, electro music, puzzles, logic, controversial/taboo topics and opinions.
If it peaks your interest at all, please send me a short message describing yourself (1-2 sentences, including asl if you don't mind, I don't want to read a paragraph to start off) and mention a game or a few games you think we might want to play together.
I promise to respond to everyone and provide more info if needed.

If it peaks your interest at all, please send me a short message describing yourself (1-2 sentences, including asl if you don't mind, I don't want to read a paragraph to start off) and mention a game or a few games you think we might want to play together.
I promise to respond to everyone and provide more info if needed.

2024.05.16 10:21 wanja001 The Art of Crafting a Compelling Thesis Statement

The Three Key Components of a Strong Thesis Statement

First things first, a strong thesis statement is like the backbone of your essay. It's what holds everything together and guides your readers through your argument. But what makes a thesis statement strong? Here are the three key components:
  1. Clarity: Your thesis should clearly express your main point. Think of it as the North Star for your essay—bright, clear, and guiding everything you write. Avoid vague language; be specific!
  2. Conciseness: A thesis statement should be concise and to the point. You don’t need to spill all the beans in one go. Keep it brief—one or two sentences that pack a punch!
  3. Arguable: A strong thesis statement presents a viewpoint that can be debated. If everyone already agrees with it, there’s no point in writing an essay about it. Make sure your thesis opens the door for discussion and analysis.
Let’s put it all together with more examples to really drive the point home:
🚫 Weak Thesis: "Many people think climate change is bad." ✅ Strong Thesis: "Climate change, driven by human activities, poses the most significant threat to biodiversity in the 21st century and demands immediate global action."
Another example: 🚫 Weak Thesis: "Online education is becoming more popular." ✅ Strong Thesis: "Online education, though increasingly popular, fails to provide the same level of interaction and engagement as traditional classroom settings, impacting student learning outcomes."
One more for good measure: 🚫 Weak Thesis: "The internet is a useful tool." ✅ Strong Thesis: "While the internet offers vast information resources, its unregulated nature contributes to the spread of misinformation, posing significant challenges to public knowledge and decision-making."
See the difference? The strong theses are clear, concise, and arguable. Now it’s your turn to craft a dazzling thesis statement!

True or False?

True or False: A thesis statement should be a general statement about your topic.

2024.05.16 09:58 limited_myth What to do if disagree with prof about an assignment (and grade)

I don't know if this is common:
The prof is nice, the content of the course is lovely, but the administration is just terrible
There is no rubric. The prof only gave a sentence about how she wants the assignment to be like and called that a rubric. (She listed the items that we will be graded on, like structure, but didn't specify what kind of structure does she want)
As a result, I wrote something very different from her expectations and I only learned about the actual requirements from the feedback.
Also, the topic is only released a week before it' due. Before we only knew it will be an essay and don't even know what kind, and how long, of an essay
I know a week is enough to work on it, but dude, I don't have the whole week to work on your assignment, I've got other courses too
After all of this I'll probably have an disagreement with the prof about the grade. I've heard about appeals, but I'm not sure if it's the right place to go. There are so many resources on campus and I'm getting disoriented. Thanks everyone who read this.

2024.05.16 09:48 adulting4kids Figures of Speech

11. Euphemism:
Explore a scenario where characters use euphemisms to navigate a sensitive topic, like announcing bad news with phrases such as "he's taken an early retirement from the stage of life."
12. Juxtaposition:
Craft a scene where two contrasting settings, like a bustling city and a serene countryside, symbolize the internal conflict of a character torn between two worlds.
13. Anaphora:
Create a character whose recurring internal monologue begins with the repetition of a phrase, like "In the quiet of the night, she whispered to herself, 'I am enough. I am enough.'"
14. Epiphora:
Develop a speech or reflection where a character concludes each sentence with a repeated phrase, emphasizing a central theme or revelation.
15. Zeugma:
In a pivotal moment, have a character employ zeugma, using a single word or phrase to convey multiple meanings simultaneously, adding depth to their expressions.
