Inferences worksheets high school

Im begging someone to read this pls!
I have a ginger boy cat and he is mental. He runs around laps and laps so quickly, knocks everything over etc. plant pots, cans of soup, picture frames - we can’t just get rid of all our belongings so he doesn’t knock it.
he’s genuinly so hyper but it always gets worse at night. I’m currently doing my exams at school, i had my first one today. Of course he woke me up. He wakes us up every night, the one night I really didn’t need that, he did it. It’s actually the worst.
When I don’t have enough sleep I hallucinate, so today In my exam was really hard on me mentally. Should we get rid of him and give him to someone . Or is there anyway to prevent his behaviour. Any advice at all. It is every night without a doubt he either keeps me up, or wakes me up. It would break my heart more than anything to give him to someone else, because I love him so much and he’s such good company but he’s so unbearable. We live in a flat so there’s a decent amount of room for him to run, lots of things for him to jump up onto and get up high, loads of hiding places, but he’s always in the kitchen which is where my bedroom door is and my dads.
When I’m asleep he literally launches himself at my bedroom door to come in. So it makes a loud bang. He does it over and over So I let him in.
As soon as I let him in he scratches the door to go out. So I let him out. (My dad has awful ocd so I have to keep my door shut all the time, I don’t have a choice to just let him freely come out )
Even if I had my door open to let him roam in and out, he kicks at my door when it’s open and plays with it and it squeaks the whole night also waking everyone else up.
I’m just lost on what to do. I can’t do all my exams on less than 6 hours of sleep but I really don’t have a choice. It’s so stressful when he wakes me up. I really don’t want to get rid of him but I can’t deal with every night this happening. I literally take sleeping tablets and he still manages to keep me up.

I’m on a market for some new hair products for my fine hair and it got me thinking about whether or not others have had this experience. I loved Pantene formulas when I was a kid, they made my hair so soft and shiny without weight, greasy feeling, or frizz, then I got to high school and had friends going to Vo-tech for cosmetology and “Pantene” suddenly became a curse word. “Don’t use that! It’s so bad! It coats your hair in wax!” Ok.. Over the years I had several conversations with several hairdressers and the word “Pantene” triggered almost word for word the same response every time. “Don’t use that! It’s bad and coats your hair in wax!” This confused me, not just the weird cult-like behavior, like a sleeper cell trigger word, but... you’re telling me that it gives me the results I want, plus puts a protective coating on my hair? Where’s the bad? Sign me up!
I’ve also semi recently discovered that I apparently have an allergy to DMDM Hyndantoin, the symptom being hair loss. Guess what chemical has been in every single salon formula, particularly in volumizing products marketed towards those with already fine/thin hair, that I have looked at since becoming aware of this allergy and isn’t in Pantene formulas?

Ok so basically in my ap econ class i had an A in aeries but my official transcript said it was a b+. i am in a quarter system so the grades were official in december, but i didnt know until end of march.
i talked to my teacher, but the school didnt change the grade until today because i had to remind them again yesterday.
i got waitlisted from uci, so can i send an email to them regarding an error in my grades and will this boost my chances getting off the waitlist? if so, how should i write my email? this is emergency. Thanks.

TL;DR : (M18) turning 19 in August and (F20) This is our 3rd time breaking up along with our 2nd cancelled engagement with plenty of separations and rekindling throughout our entire 4+ years knowing eachother. We’ve done a lot of growing up together as well as apart and over the years we’ve both done eachother wrong but we’ve also done so so so much for eachother as well. However, it was always me who was less mature and messing up more. I recently messed up once again and in a state of high emotion on both sides, she was fed up and said We were never getting back together. Will I ever get one last chance with her?
Please, I miss her so much and I’m willing to do anything just for one final chance. I love her and I’m IN love with her with all my heart and soul bro. I am extremely attached, connected, and emotionally invested in this girl and we have been through so much together. I desire(more than anything else in the world) a future with her.
For more context:
Our first time breaking up, I had just turned 15 and she was 16. Her and I barely even dated for a couple months before I had indirectly and immaturely broken up with her by leaving it “upto her” because of me wanting to talk to other girls, but her and I still ended up talking and being flirtatious anyway. But then we had separated because of me getting my phone taken away for months. She had started talking to someone else who was MUCH MUCH older than her and was grooming hevery toxic to her but out of strange obligation, she stayed with him anyway although she really just wanted to be with me. Her and I still remained as close as ever although she had to turn me down twice when I wanted to rekindle things. Later on, I had got my phone back and as we entered into the next school year( she turned 17 and I turned 16) we grew closer and closer and feelings developed stronger and stronger meanwhile her relationship with him was getting worse and worse and they were having multiple breakups as well. She even at one point expressed to me that she was on the verge of breaking up with him and very bluntly hinted at as well as indirectly told me she wanted to leave him for me. But ultimately after she knew that my hopes were all up and everything she ended up just choosing him over me anyway and leaving me hanging. a couple months afterwards she posting vulgar things on social media with the caption “I’ll suck my man d#%k fr” or something along those lines. That’s when I fully moved on and went on to get in multiple relationships/“situationships” over the course of that year. Until fast forward to November 2023, she comes back and we very very quickly rekindle/get back together. over the course of that year, because of my porn and masturbation addiction we’ve separated as well as had many issues interfering with my attraction of her because of my skewed image of women and interfering with us having proper sex or intimacy without my fetishes being involved. Fast forward to August, I ended up falling into watching porn for almost my entire birthday week behind her back while she was working so hard to eventually bring me gifts on that day which I later confessed to the following month. We separated for 3 days and this is when I finally started taking my walk with the lord seriously.(she began months ahead of me and she was the one that even introduced me to Christianity in the first place)(her entirely family is Christian) 2 months pass and a couple days after I propose to her for the first time and posting about it? a girl I used to talk to had replied to my iG story congratulating me and as we talked and catched up, I fell to temptation once again and ended up saying more than I should have/inappropriate things but by the time I realized what I was doing and ended it. It was too late and I confessed to her immediately. after a couple of days, she took me home from work and broke up with me. We talked about it over text an hour or so later and agreed we would be going no contact for a month, but over that period we constantly broke it(I even indirectly tried killing myself with alcohol and drunk texted her to which she was very sympathetic to and when I ended up blacking out she was terrified and prayed all night over me and even reached out to friends of mine to make sure I was okay.) fast forward, she ends it early and we rekindle. Fast forward to either late March or April 2024, I fall into looking at iG couples art and ecchi aesthetic art aka softcore porn and I confess to her afterwards. She’s initially upset but she stays with me.
Later on down the line I begin to question my faith entirely and my foundation crumbles after following the teachings of fallible men/cult leaders and mainly doing it for her and because I loved hewanted to bond with her and not actually seeking the truth for myself(although I had my moments of genuinely being curious and wanting to discover it for myself.) However, she was still just as firmly rooted in her faith as ever and maturing even more. On the contrary, I grow weak and undisciplined in my flesh, I fall back into bad habits, I stop reading the word, praying, fasting, I isolate myself from fellowship. And as it gets harder and harder to resist my sexual urges and with her unwavering on her boundaries of no sex before marriage and etc. I fell back into masturbation but eventually back into porn as well(softcore stuff again mainly but I slipped into some fetish stuff too) and it was over the course of a couple days again with me feeling very guilty and being afraid to tell heI just wanted to repent of it and be done but she ended up getting dream a about it and asked me about it the very next day to which I was honest with her and confessed. Then after however many minutes go by and her breaking up with me a third time with her saying “We are done.” and “We will see” “Love you, Bye” instead of taking the advice everyone was giving me and giving her time and space from jump. I pressed her, begged/pleaded, and blew up her messages making it worse and aggravating her until she followed up with the next day with telling me “Sure I’ll let you know where we stand”We are never getting back together.”
I panicked and went into a high emotional state myself and went to her house late at night(1 or 2 am), and pressed her even more begging and pleading. But this made it worse as well and she had said “what us? there is no us” “go home” “you did what you did”and etc while pushing me out and slamming the door in my face. She originally only talked to her mother about it but because of my stupid decisions while being emotional I unintentionally involved everyone else in it. Her older sister’s husband went through a very similar situation with the older sister and had offered to talk to me about it along with everyone else. But when I followed up later on that day it created a misunderstanding and I ended up getting blocked by him and her older sister after she texts me on her older sister’s phone saying the same exact hurtful and cold/seemingly detached things and after begging and pleading to call, we did but it only made it that much worse. I tried to explain my side of things the best I could while being highly emotional but she didn’t want to hear any of it and proceeded to say even more hurtful, cold, seemingly, detached things, cussed me out, then hung up in my face and blocked me. This whole breakup was very messy and happened over the course of barely 3 days.
I’m still in contact with her mom and I recently contacted her dad as well(parents are divorced) and he had told me she never even mentioned anything to him about it which goes to show I made things worse/unnecessarily involved other people in it that otherwise might not have been involved.
Now I’m giving her proper time and space but I’m still extremely anxious/uncertain about where things will go from here.
(I ask that you be honest but also open minded/considerate in responses please, this all happened over the span of a couple of days and I’m still very fresh in the grieving process)
What do you all think about this situation? (I especially want to hear from a female perspective)

For the past year I’ve been dating my gf. We met in 8th grade at the time she had a boyfriend so whenever I would make advances they’d just get shut down. We rekindled my senior year of high school when I discovered her instagram page. At the time I didn’t know if she was currently in a relationship and didn’t really care to ask. We made small talk here and there but never anything flirtatious or sexually suggestive. One day she texted me and asked if I wanted her to hook me up with one of her friends, so of course me being me I accepted the offer. She then proceeded to ask me if I was a cheater, I told her no. She then asked for my number to put us into contact and right after I sent it. She texted me on iMessage stating that she thinks we’d make a good couple. I had been tricked. And in this moment when I read her text I couldn’t help but feel like the nice guy who finished last and got what was left over. we started chatting again more frequently and this was probably at the peak of my “hoe phase” I had just recently got a car gifted to me by my loving parents. So as a horny teen who just recently graduated I was doing bad. Seeing girls daily (intimately) sometimes even two. So as you could imagine I was not in the mental head space to jump into a relationship especially seeing that I’ve never been in one. Mind you she knew the type of guy I was, Because during my “hoe phase” I would publicize me going on dates with various girls on my instagram story cause I thought it was cool and my buddies would always ask how can I maneuver so carelessly and still have women that still put up with me. Around this time we weren’t in a relationship yet so their wasn’t any consequences for my actions. She’d see it complain then brush it off. But seeing that I did use to like this girl a lot…and I mean a lot, Just to put it into perspective for you on how delusional and down bad I was. When we first started chatting again, I went to our old Snapchat messages and reread every single one which took about 3 hours and they were so cringey and sappy to me that I took the time to delete every single one. (She was one of those weird people who’d saved the messages instead of letting them automatically delete after 24 hours) I felt like I had to do this because I didn’t want her to have any recollection of that desperate version of myself. Fast forward a few weeks and we went on our first date. I decided to take things slow with her by limiting myself to only kissing and fingering her. Then About a month after that is when we first had sex. And it felt exactly like I expected it to…magical. It was like we were two bodies who were meant for each other that finally met. Fast forward a few more months now it’s time for her to go off to college and when she left I slowly started reverting back into my old ways of seeing multiple girls a week and being promiscuous. This continued up until about January the next year when I got caught. Long story short, she cried I cried and we both decided that we’d like to move forward. During this season of our relationship I was constantly feeling guilt so much to the point where I ever considered suicide. I was constantly in my head saying things like “is it even worth it” “she probably doing it too and you just don’t know” “leave her” “it’ll never work” “you won’t regain her trust” “our relationship is irreparable” “don’t waste anymore of your youthful years on this failing relationship”. And with due time these negative thoughts stopped consuming my mind and we actually started doing better. I quit my job moved in with her and started working remotely. At this point in my life I couldn’t be any happier. It felt like a dream come true. All it took was one weekend and all of this ended. At this point it’s around spring break so all the surrounding colleges are having parties. I devised a plan to pick all the boys and go on a little road trip. We hit different colleges daily to party, drink and smoke and the biggest of incentive all, to meet girls. Looking back on it, this was a recipe for disaster. On one particular night I uploaded a video of me getting twerked on my by a girl to my close friends on instagram not remembering that she was still included in it. And before I could even sober up and realize what the fuck I’ve just done she eventually saw it and messaged me stating that this is her last time and “we’re done”. In this moment when I read the text while being drunk & high I just couldn’t find it in me to care or fight for our relationship. So I just thought to myself “ok”. As the night proceeded I found myself in some random suite where a girl approached me and began express her interest in me and long story short I ended up cheating. When all the fun was over and I dropped all the guys back home. I was still tasked with having to drive my girlfriend m back to her dorm cause she stayed with family for the weekend. I didn’t want to take her but no other buses were departing and everyone who she could’ve possibly asked was already preoccupied or just didn’t feel like doing a 4 hour drive there and back. And plus before all this turmoil I had already promised to her that I’d drive her back. I go to pick her up and she’s all moody and for the first 3 hours of the ride she gives me silent treatment. And the first words out of her mouth were “you know when we get back to my dorm you’re packing your shit and leaving right?” At first I didn’t respond. I laughed actually, not hysterically but more of a “wow after all we been thru you’re really ending this?” Laugh. All types of thoughts started racing thru my head. Part of me wanted to serve the car in front of an oncoming 18 wheeler but then I remembered that she’s still here with me and as ironic as it sounds I’d never want to hurt her, especially in a way that could result in fatality. The laughing slowly turned into silent tears. The pain I was feeling in my stomach was so excruciating it felt as if I had just been stabbed with a 10 foot sword repeatedly over and over and over again. I eventually started uncontrollably crying and spewing out my feelings. While doing this I confessed to cheating on her and told how I’d been long before that weekend. I pulled over to the side of the interstate in the middle of nowhere with no reception got out and just started crying even harder so she couldn’t see. I felt like my life had been ruined and the only person I could blame for it was myself. I eventually got back in and started driving in silence again. After all that crying with the added partying the past week and weekend I must’ve been real tired cause I started to doze off which I usually don’t. I’ve taken the drive enough to become accustomed to it and have built up enough stamina to make it all the way through without having to fight the feeling of tiredness. She noticed this and offered to take the wheel which I respectfully declined. I then told her I’d be pulling over to the side of the road to catch a quick 2 minute nap. I typically do this whenever I’m on extra long drives and my friends know me for it. I set a 2 minute timer on my phone and let my body temporarily rejuvenate as much as possible. And chances are they usually fall asleep too. Because I’d literally rather trust myself to drive tired before I let one of my unlicensed friends behind the wheel. I put my head down for what felt like 10 seconds and woke up to her nudging my shoulder saying that 7 minutes have passed. This bothered me because if I was so tired to the point I myself didn’t hear the alarm she should have came to the realization that I was genuinely tired and let me rest a little longer. But because it was her birthday she probably overlooked this aspect of my situation because she was just tooeager to get to her own birthday party that her friends had started without her. I began driving again will still tired and now aggravated from being woken up. I began to speed at this point we’re 40 miles away from our destination. The tiredness began to take over again and before I knew it I wake up to the screaming of my name as the car is slowly drifting off the road and I’m stuck in mud on the side of the interstate. A state trooper and tow truck arrive to assess the situation and we end up taking a Uber the rest of the way. At this point I’m stranded. I spent my last on tow truck fees and don’t even have anything saved up to pay for the mechanic fees, let alone worry about gas money. We somehow managed talk and temporarily bandaid the under lying issue and sleep in the same bed that night but things progressively kept on getting worse and worse as the days went on. It got so bad to the point where we slept in different rooms, Or so I thought. The morning after I go into her room to check on her and see paper towels and her sitting up still crying in the same position she was the night before. I on the other hand actually slept pretty well. She then came into my room still with water in her cute pearly big eyes. And to my surprise sat down directly on my lap and told me how she couldn’t get no sleep. We hugged and talked and cried then ultimately came to the conclusion that our relationship is worth more than my stupid mistakes and I have some more maturing to do.

My neighbour (grouchy old fella) takes care of who I assume is his ?granddaughter? . Anyway. On more than one occasion (pretty much every other day), I notice the young girl (she goes to the high school across the street and can’t be older that 16) out smoking cigarettes, sometime 2-3x a day. Today I came home and she was smoking ciggys with a bunch of other kids definetly not over 16). The old fella knows she does it and allows it. I have a feeling he supplies her with smokes, which she now is giving to other kids. It all seems a bit icky to me. I know kids smoke and do what they want, but it’s weird to me he’s just allowing it and likely supplying it. Is it legal? Seems kinda sad.

I want to start out and say my MIL means well however she has a control issue and maybe I’m blowing this out of proportion so I figured I would come here.
I’ve(32F) been with DH(31M) for a little under 10 years married for 1. MIL has 3 other sons ranging from 27-39. From what my husband has told me throughout their upbringing she has treated him specifically like a 2nd parent. Anytime they have stolen from him, picked the lock to his bedroom or just treated him like a punching bag and he’s gone to her, this was in high school, she would wave him off and tell him that “since you have no proof I can’t do anything” however if any of them would come to her and accuse DH of anything she would treat him like he was a suspect in a murder. Which I have witnessed when we were in high school.
I say all that because fast forward to now DH really doesn’t speak to any of his brothers especially his he youngest(27) because he still to this day never takes responsibility for anything he does and will go to MIL anytime DH doesn’t do something he demands. Which has now strained DH and Is relationship with MIL because no matter what we say she will ALWAYS take his side. She claims we are “abandoning him in is time of need” when in reality we are just not letting him treat my DH like a punching bag anymore.
There have been times where she has lied and told us he won’t be at things so we will show up and he’s there or when we say we will plan something with her a different day she throws a fit because she feels that we all should suffer if it means she gets what she wants.
As of now DH sees his mother alone because I can’t be around someone and keep my mouth shut who I have watched for years disregard DH until she needs him but now that he placed some boundaries she’s upset that she can’t force him to “make peace”.
Came her for some other opinions because I’ve been on this ride for 10 years and I’m exhausted.

I’m currently selecting my classes and I have the option to take calculus based physics concurrently with Calculus II. I am wondering if I should take a non-calculus based physics first with calculus II since the last time I took physics was junior year of high school. I am currently a 19 y/o freshman and I am a bit stuck on what I should do. Should I try to keep my level of math at least a class higher than the physics class that requires it?

This was the girl’s name: La - a
My wife was the check in person for a High School.
It is pronounced: “La dash a”

I feel like I was almost parentified by my friend in high school. During our sophomore year, I was going through depression and suicide. I couldn't talk to anyone about it. Not even my own family. My mom threatened to throw me out onto the streets. But this friend was so needy. She had exam anxiety, and would start crying about it. I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but I felt resentful of having to take care of someone when I felt way worse about my situation. And no one helped me.

So I have always been the black sheep in my family. My parents have always hated me, especially when I stood up to my dad and told him to stop beating me and because I call them out on their bs. I have a lot of trauma from their mental and physical abuse through the years (i am a 23f). About a year ago I moved 20 hours away from them and met my now fiancé. I am the happiest i’ve ever been. However, since I have left my sisters (who previously partook in bullying me with my parents and sometimes still do) have been on the receiving end of my parents abuse. Another key factor in this is that I have been pretty financially independent since high-school because my parents (who are very rich) told me they wouldn’t help me at all, which is fine, but felt like a slap in the face because they gave and still give my sisters whatever they want and pay for anything they ask for. My sisters called me two weeks ago to tell me how mean my parents were being to them and that they threatened to cut them off financially because my sisters didn’t want to help them with their rentals. Before I left I helped my parents clean their rentals and maintain them while trying to get them to make smarter financial decisions instead of incurring more debt. My sisters also help out now that I have left but it’s not a priority for them (as it should not be as my parents made the choice to take on so many rentals). Now my sisters and my mother specifically were refusing to talk to each other and I just didn’t want to get involved so I didn’t say anything. My mother sent a passive aggressive message in our family group chat directed at all three of us even though I am not there. I didn’t respond to this as I know she just wanted to fight and get a reaction. Recently, however my sisters apologized to her because they still want her to pay for their vacations and clothes and makeup. She invited them for a trip and when I found out about it I asked if I could join and she essentially acted like she didn’t want me there and she was very curt when texting me. I don’t know how I incurred her wrath when i’m not even there and didn’t say anything mean or to provoke her. It has been like this my whole life. I’m just so tired of holding out hope of having a normal family and being treated with love. My fiancé has a wonderful family so I find solace in being a part of it. They are very welcoming to me. I do feel free from my family now, and I am grateful I don’t have to rely on cruel unkind people who don’t like me to show me familial love anymore. Its just hard facing the reality that I should probably just go no contact with my family now… Just wanted to vent

I (18M) am basically my brother's (23M) caretaker, and I just can't take it anymore.
My brother is the laziest most slothful, uncaring person I know. He is 23 with no drive to do anything with his life. His hubris made him drop out of high school after taking a class he knew he couldn't pass, has never had a job or put effort into finding one, and has never had any form of a relationship with a woman.
He is a piece of shit with no care to change his ways. Here's some of the shit he does:
Pisses on the floor, wall, seat etc. Leaves shit stains on the toilet seat (I don't even know how that's possible.) Never change the toilet paper roll. Leaves stray pubes all over the toilet bowl. Shaves and leaves all of his hair in and around the sink. Lets water drip everywhere when he rarely showers.
He hasn't cleaned his room in months. He pisses the bed nightly and is so fucking lazy that he knowingly sleeps in his piss because he doesn't wanna get up. Or he'll go to our cabinet where I fold and put away clean towels and will lay them down on his freshly pissed bed, and immediately go back to sleep. His room stinks like urine, body odour and semen. It emanates from his room even with his door closed. He'll open his door to "Freshen it up" and the entire house will reek like piss, and I have to keep my door closed 24/7 or my room will start to smell.
He never does his dishes, simply places them by the sink for me or my dad to do. He also leaves dishes wherever he pleases. He'll open bread and leave it on the counter to get stale. Leaves milk out along with fresh foods that end up rotting if I don't do it for him. Cooks with oil and lets it splash everywhere. Never wipes the counter and leaves crumbs everywhere. Has no care for dropping food or condiments, resulting in me needing to mop daily. Leaves opened containers EVERYWHERE (i.e. peanut butter, jam.) If the trash is full he'll just put it beside the can instead of changing it. Lets food burn into a frying pan makes it 10x harder for me to scrub out, and leaves every cabinet open.
He has no responsibilities and does nothing but eat, jerk off and play video games all day and night. He'll constantly wake me up by screaming and cackling like an idiot at 2 in the morning, we have neighbours and they've complained to us about him. I've pleaded with him to be quiet and just talk at a reasonable level but he brushes me off every single time.
There is quite literally not a single thing that he does to help anyone or do anything in our house. Every attempt to get him to change his ways results in him giving a one-word response like "mhm" "sure" and "yeah." Or he stares at his phone not answering you. He complains about every little thing that he doesn't want to do, and meets any kind of change with resistance.
Now after my parents separated my dad met another woman who unfortunately lives abroad, so he's not in the country 75% of the year. So that leaves me do to it all. Daily I clean my brother's piss and shit, I wash and put away his dishes. Everything that he leaves out I put back. I get the groceries, I service the car, I vacuum, I mop, I clean, I DO EVERYTHING.
He's also a giant narcissist who blames our parents for his current position. Constantly saying our parents never taught him anything (which is of course a giant fucking lie.)
I'm starting to hate his guts but, I just don't know how to feel. I feel like an asshole, cause how could I hate my brother? But at the same time is that hate warranted?
I don't know what to do, he obviously won't listen to reason or change his ways. I just need some advice. Also sorry for the length.

Hey, so I have been having a bit of trouble moving things forward in my relationship, and was wondering if I could get some advice.
I myself am not on the spectrum, but I have been dating a girl who very much is. We started dating back in our final year of high school, and went into this relationship with a mutual understanding that our education was the most important thing for us. We went to different colleges in different states, however we stayed in contact during this time, and were often together when we were on break and came back home.
I graduated 2 years ago, and she just graduated last December, and her family and I went to go see her graduate. I had hoped that once we had both graduated, we would be able to start moving things forward, however that has not happened. I have spoken to her about my wants to move things forward, but I have been unable to do so. I have a few examples of my attempts to move things forward here for you as well.
She has always had a touch aversion, and I have respected that. I recently stated I would like to work with her to help her get more comfortable with having any physical contact with me, and she stated she was open to trying to open up in that regard. Despite this, whenever I have asked if I may hold her hand she has said no. I have not held her hand in a year and a half now, and have not hugged her since I first met her for her graduation. 6 months and no physical contact, despite a spoken agreement to try to work on this and efforts to do so does begin to hurt a bit.
Along with this, I have stated a desire to speak to or see her more often. These are typically met with nervous agreement. However whenever I attempt to schedule something outside of our normal things, it is met with rejection. I understand that and change from normal is scary, however I have also proposed a new normal twice that we could slowly transition into, but that also has not worked out. We currently speak on the phone once a week, and see each other once a week as well, however my attempts to do more are not working out.
We have been together for 5 years now, and she has been out of school for 6 months, but I just do not know what to do anymore.
I have been patient for her, as she truly is the girl of my dreams, but the constant failure to do anything these last 6 months has wared my patience thin, and left me feeling increasingly lonely in this relationship. I have told her this, but nothing has changed despite that as well.
I guess I just wanted to get advice from you guys on what I can do to keep us together, and grow our relationship together. I understand that we are both still very young, and that perhaps we are both not ready for a relationship yet, but she truly is the girl of my dreams. She is the most beautiful, brilliant and kind woman I have ever met, and I want to know how I can grow together with her.

AITA for being passive aggressive to my friend?
I (21F) have been close friends with my friend (20F) for almost seven years now. She’s a really cool and fun person to be around, really kind and all that. The only thing not so great about her is that she is pretty flaky. When we were in high school things were different, but now that she’s living at a college a couple hours away we barely talk. It’s all good, when she comes home to visit it feels like no time has passed. It was hard to accept at first that our relationship was changing but I feel like I’m over that now.
This summer she decided to come home to work and get more money for the next year. She lives a couple minutes away from my house. She invited me out to play tennis with her which is a sport we played together in high school. While we were playing we kept talking about how much fun it was, how much we missed it, how we should get back into it twice a week even. We joked around a lot about how we were goi to get so good this summer and just grind. We met up a couple more times and then on a Friday planned to meet the next Monday.
Then she ghosts me. It’s on character (she did this in high school too) but somehow I don’t see it coming. The Monday comes and she ignores our texts. She flakes on a beach plan we’d already made. It took me a few days to figure out what was happening, so I’d already sent a few texts to her asking where she was. This was about a week ago.
Here comes when I think I screwed up. I went on a run this morning and saw her walking with her brother. We exchanged greetings, and she said: “Hey, I’ll text you about tennis soon!”
Then I said, in a completely joking tone: “yeah you should! Instead of just ignoring my texts!” I felt like I was making an awkward situation less awkward by putting it out in the open, but once we went our separate ways I started having doubts. My bf thinks I’m the AH and I was being super passive aggressive. The more I think about it the worse I feel. AITA?

DOMESTIC PRESALES
Back to Black Thursday Comps/Predictions: $0.35M/$0.37M

• abracadabra1998 ($0.35M Thursday comp. Probably looking at EA around $100k from these numbers, it's limited to Dolby only though so it's quite tiny (May 15). Yikes bikes (May 12).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($0.39M Thursday and $1.21M Friday comp. We're back up to $.3M-$.5M Thursday while Friday is pretty consistent, still around $1.15M-$1.4M. Estimated OW: $4.5M-$5.5M (May 16). Knocking this down to $.25M Thursday. Despite relatively strong sales, comps are low around $1.25M for Friday (May 15). Not great. Let's say $.3M (May 14).)
  
• el sid ($0.38M Thursday comp. Average tomorrow will probably be around 400k (May 15).)
  
• filmlover (Looking at the sales even for the early shows on Wednesday it's on the anemic side (and nothing that's likely to boost it over the next days). Feels like we're about to see how low a biopic about a famous musician can go (May 10).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($0.38M Thursday comp.)
  
• Relevation ($0.26M Thursday comp. And for how shitty IF did, Back to Black cratered even harder, and likely would've been the worst selling movie I've ever tracked had I not run numbers a little late. Sub-$300K THU and a $2.5-4M OW (May 15).)
  
• Rorschach (Zero tickets sold on Thursday and only four on Friday. I don't think I'll be missing much (May 13).)
  

IF Thursday Comps/Predictions: $1.72M/$1.80M

• abracadabra1998 ($1.5M Thursday comp. Really good update here, FINALLY! Been waiting for this. This is encouraging for sure. With this growth now maybe shooting for a finish near 1.75 or maybe even approach 2. Eek. Zero sales day only a few days before previews, when you're dealing with a very low baseline. I'm not sure what's happening here (May 15). Most comps did move the right direction. If it keeps trending up perhaps I can see a finish around $1.5M Thursday. One thing to peep at: the MTC1 ratio (59%) is unusually large compared to other family releases. At T-2, other releases' MTC1 % was at: KFP4: 51%, Migration: 34%, Wonka: 59%, Wish: 35%, Trolls: 24%. So much more comparable to Wonka and KFP4; maybe something to think about when looking at keyser's numbers and thinking of the ratio there (May 14). My model has been pretty good for animated/family releases in the past, hence why every comp is so eerily similar. Still, looking at others' numbers and how much lower mine are, I am wondering if summer break might be something to consider here; from what I am aware, here in Minnesota most school districts don't start break until June (May 13). Hoping for some real acceleration this last week but not looking good (May 12). One week out, not impressed in the slightest (May 9). Rising against comps as expected, due to the short release window, but I am still failing to see anything that suggests the numbers given by some other outlets (May 5).)
  
• AniNate (All I can say is if you look at Tinseltown Canton presales the IF projections ($30M+) seem pretty reasonable. I will grant they might've booked more screens than necessary for it (May 16). I'm gonna guess that Nick IP spot for IF this morning ratcheted up interest, Fri-Sun sales at Canton now close to 200. Also of those 200 about 50 were for XD. Not the usual overwhelming presale split but not insignificant for a kids movie also playing on two standard screens (May 13). 45 sold at the five nearest Cinemarks for Thursday previews so far, so yeah there's evidently some kind of regional variation (May 13). I definitely haven't seen as much of a rush here with Garfield as with IF (May 11). I dunno, I have no comps but I feel like local presales is a pretty sizable haul a week in advance for an original non-Disney kids movie (May 9).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($2.43M Thursday and $8.49M Friday comp. Not a great day. Back down to $1.75M-$2M Thursday but pretty good day for Friday, bumping up to $7M-$7.5M. Estimate OW: $27M-$29M (May 16). Comps mostly are up. Adjusting up to around $2M-$2.25M Thursday. Unless this plays like Elemental, we're aiming around $6.5M-$7M Friday. Estimated OW: $25M-$27M (May 15). Definitely looking around $1.75M Thursday for now (May 14).
  
• DAJK (Selling pretty well so far here (May 4).)
  
• el sid ($2.4M Thursday comp. Friday up so-so 116% since last Monday. I chose Jungle Cruise, Dolittle, Elemental, Minions 2 and Sonic 2 as comps (always counted on Monday of the release week for Friday) and the true Friday number for IF would be 6.6M at the moment. In this case the comparison numbers were very similar, around 6-7M. Overall it was a boring counting today which lasted too long for so few action. And judging from some random samples Garfield also saw no significant jumps (I also didn't expect much, it's still too early IMO). Thursday up 92% since last Monday. I hoped for a bit better jump till today :( but it's also not too bad. So for Friday no big numbers but up 75% since last Monday (and the jump must have happened pretty recently) (May 13). Up 73.5% since Monday (where it had 143 sold tickets). Best sales in California, not doing too bad between the coasts. The number today is ok to me (May 12). Not really signs for a breakout for Friday so far, but very solid. It will not really get 4-6M Thursday e.g. compared to Migration but from most comps the number could be pretty decent (May 7). Looked good for the film, both on Thursday and on Friday (May 6).)
  
• jeffthehat ($1.90M Thursday comp. Slipped a little vs. comps. Sub-20% growth seems bad at this stage and opening size for a family film. But maybe walkups are better than presales suggest. Thinking $1.8m +/- $0.2m tomorrow (May 15).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($1.62M Combined SizeAdjusted+GrowthModel Thursday comp. $1.50M Santikos Thursday comp. Sticking to the 1.5m - 1.75m range. I'm looking for a +40% final day that would finish at 1.8m avg comps and 1.62m growth forecast. I'm not ruling out 2m, but it would need to have a very good day (May 16). Raising my expectations to 1.5 - 1.75m range. I don't really have a good feel for what age this is playing to (May 15). Thinking somewhere in the 1.2m-1.5m Thursday range despite a couple of higher comps (May 14).)
  
• keysersoze123 (Friday pace is promising (May 16). Dont think even if it doubles the gross, 2m is locked. But even if it does, it would barely do that much. Let us see how walkups go tomorrow. Pace is really meh for T-2. $1.75m ish for previews. OW should be similar to what I saw yesterday for now (May 15). I would say it should hit 2m previews or even more if walkups are strong. OW probably in mid to high 20s for now. Its Friday sales are not that much higher than thursday for crazy IM like say Panda 4 (May 14).)
  
• Relevation ($1.18M Thursday comp. IF completely tanked here, brutal comp average with no good comparisons at all. $1.2-1.5M THU and something in the ballpark of an $18-24M OW? (May 15).)
  
• RichWS (15 screen theater near me is giving IF peak Marvel number of showings. I know it's short and the market is quiet, but damn (May 14).)
  
• Rorschach (Good growth for IF, especially after Tuesday's abysmal sales (May 15). Even with no comps to go off, this growth seems pretty weaksauce. I guess we'll see how it goes tomorrow (May 14).)
  
• Shawn Robbins (The pre-sales I'm seeing in multiple markets are little better than I think some expect here. I wouldn't be shocked with a number between 2 and 2.5 for Thursday, as well as big jumps on Friday and Saturday. The flip side of that coin is the reviews... although kids won't care. Could see 40 happening if this plays super strong in family markets and outside coastal cities like I suspect it could, but I'm surprised the studio didn't low ball it a little more to be safe... especially since we had been very publicly keeping our range in the high 20s/low 30s from the bottom end (May 15).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($2.39M Thursday comp. Really not much going on. Don't think walkups will be super strong either (May 13). Not much growth (May 10). Pace is collapsing a bit. Continues its downward trend (May 7). After a strong start, this has cooled off quite a bit (May 4).)
  
• Tinalera (Pretty quiet Vancouver and Calgary area (May 13).)
  
• vafrow ($0.6M Thursday comp. Well, we finally got something. It still lags behind comps, and if I could be bothered to track walk ups, I'm guessing this will do okay. But it's still lagging some very reasonable comps by a large margin here (May 16). It's going up, but slowly. The thing that hit me looking at the numbers is that the most popular format so far is the VIP theatres, which are 19+. With such low sales, you can't read too much into anything, but it kind of speaks to how this isn't grabbing the family crowd (May 14). Some marginal movement, but we're running out of time for this. At this stage, I expect my market is an anomaly, but I still hope and expect it will close the gap in the final few days (May 13). Still nothing (May 12). Still nothing happening. I did check Friday sales, and it was a lot stronger with 51 tickets sold. That's better, but still not tremendous. I also checked the wider radius, where it's pretty much exactly where Haunted Mansion was, which hit $3.1M opening (May 11). Still nothing really happening here (May 10). Since the last update, they released full showtime sets, and it actually lost two showtimes rather than gain. From the sound of it, it might be doing better in other Canadian markets, particularly BC (May 8). Numbers are still really low, making the standard track fairly useless. I did do a larger 100km radius track, encompassing the broader southern Ontaro market (~8M population, MTC4 being about 70-80% of the market). Even against Haunted Mansion, which underindexed here, it's not doing well (May 4).)
  
• YM! (So far in the four Wisconsin theaters I’ve tracked, IF is at about 45% of where Wish was at in the two theaters I’ve tracked 30 minutes before previews. Think it could get to something similar before preview time (May 16).)
  

The Strangers: Chapter 1 Thursday Comps/Predictions: $1.49M/$1.37M

• abracadabra1998 ($1M Thursday comp. Perhaps this will follow the Nun and the Exorcist comps, but I am not fully convinced. I'll just go with the average here and call it a day with my prediction: $1 Million, +/- 0.2. Not much movement here (May 15). Not a good update at all but I am wondering about the summer break deal here as well. For Back to Black it shouldn't affect it much I would think (May 13).)
  
• crazymoviekid ($1.24M Thursday and $4.35M Friday comp. Decent day. Feeling an inch past $1.25M Thursday but much better comps for Friday, aiming now between $4M-$5M. Estimated OW: $14M-$17M (May 16). Comps leveling off. Adjusting up to $1M Thursday and wouldn't trust Friday comp ($10.05M) (May 15). Weird comps. Let's go for $.5M-$.75M Thursday comp.)
  
• el sid ($1.9M Thursday comp. Nice surprise. Up very nice 67.5% since Monday (May 15). From what I saw, it had an ok jump till today but the jump till Wednesday will be way more important. But so far, decent presales (May 14).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($1.54M Combined SizeAdjusted+GrowthModel Thursday comp. $1.82M Santikos Thursday comp. Keeping on track to match IF tonight (May 16). We could have a preview battle on our hands! (May 14).)
  
• Relevation ($1.85M Thursday comp. The Strangers: Chapter One sold surprisingly well here, even somehow knocking IF for best selling movie of the weekend. Comps are hovering in the $1.5-2.2M range and I don't have a clue how walkups play here, but I suppose the $1.85M THU average my comps spit out sounds pretty right, combined with a $15Mish OW (May 15).)
  
• Rorschach ($1.09M/$4.68M/$5.23M Thursday/Friday/Thursday+Friday comp. Decent day for Strangers. Didn't quite continue off yesterday's big bump, but still holding well against the Tarot comp (May 15). More than double from yesterday's count. Curious to see if it keeps up the momentum going forward (May 14). Tarot had more tickets sold for Thursday compared to its Friday showings when I checked the Monday before it came out; hence, why the comps are so all over the place at the moment. The Thurs + Fri comp does appear to be a reasonable middle ground (May 13).)
  
• TwoMisfits (TMobile deal for May - $5 ticket to The Strangers Chapter 1 next Tuesday (May 9).)
  

Furiosa Thursday Comp: $4.31M

• abracadabra1998 ($5.46M Thursday comp. GxK obviously really propping the average up but for now I could see that settling at around $5 Million, still good pace! (May 12). Really good stuff in this market (May 9). Reallyyyyyy good day 1 here. I want to note that: NO I do NOT think preview numbers will be that high; it's just highlighting the fact that this is likely a movie that will be running hot in my market, as cinephile blockbusters usually do. Next update I will have T-14 comps, which will be a lot lower due to the short release window (May 8).)
  
• AniNate (Encouraging to see the weekend fill out a bit. Been seeing a lot of promotion during the basketball playoffs so general awareness has to be getting there now. (May 15). Skimmed through ThuFri and Valley View (Cleveland vicinity) has sold roughly 60 Furiosa tix so far while Tinseltown (Canton) has sold 40. I'm guessing the upfront audience does lean more toward the urban/cosmopolitan sensibilities (May 9). Presales show there's definitely some hype for this. Regal gonna irritate trackers again, offering no upcharge IMAX for Furiosa (May 8).)
  
• Charlie Jatinder ($3.05M Thursday comp.)
  
• el sid ($5.8M average Thursday comp (without Exorcist 2) (May 12). Furiosa continues its strong performance in "my" theaters. The movie yesterday had already 1.310 sold tickets (for Thursday, May 23). Up 15% in ca. 24 hours which isn't bad at all after the first rush. Already comfortably in front of The Fall Guy's final sales (it had 1.071 counted on Thursday for Thursday) and almost on par with Civil War's final sales (1.357) and also the Apes finally had not more than 1.657 sold tickets in my theaters (May 11). I also can't complain about Furiosa's presales in my theaters, not at all. Already 1,138 sold tickets (in all of "my" 7 theaters) for May 23. 14 days left. Promising start. Civil War on Thursday of the release week for Thursday had 1,357 sold tickets and The Fall Guy finally had 1,071 sold tickets (May 9).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($3.51M Thursday comp.)
  
• keysersoze123 (Definitely chugging along. I am feeling good about 5m+ previews (May 15). It has way stronger sales than Garfield and that is expected. I am thinking of 5m previews for now (May 14). I think this is a solid OD presales. With a short PS window its probably looking at 5m+ previews (May 9).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($4.44M Thursday comp. Keeps climbing at a strong pace (May 11). This continues to grow at an excellent rate (May 10). Really strong day 2. The short presales is for sure a factor (May 9). Not seeing much of a breakout. Still pretty solid start to presales (May 8).)
  
• vafrow ($2.9M Thursday comp. Comps are showing as steady since the last update, but it actually dipped quite a bit this week before rebounding today. Advance ticket buying has been so off in this market recently for some reason. Holding pace with Apes is a good sign (May 16). It had a good day (May 12). Mediocre day 2 (May 10). Not the hottest start. IMAX is the format of choice though, so, ATP will be high (May 9).)
  

Hit Man

• vafrow (Getting a theatrical release up here in Canada, and early signs are that it might get a pretty decent screen count. Not super wide or anything, but a pretty decent amount for a weekend that has a lot of other releases (May 14).)

The Garfield Movie EA+Thursday Comp: $2.24M

• abracadabra1998 ($0.76M EA comp and $1.19M Thursday comp. Still not really accelerating, and the EA is falling against comps (May 12). Good EA numbers, but many of these comps were PLF-only EA, which this is not, so I think the ATP will be quite lower and that should be adjusted for (May 9).)
  
• AniNate (EA sales look decent now, but this does feel rather weak compared to the IF presales. Not 100% certain what's going on here but based on this I buy the trades' opening estimates over the forum vibes (May 15). I definitely haven't seen as much of a rush here with Garfield as with IF (May 11).)
  
• el sid (The very even sales are a good sign (May 7). For Sunday, May 19, I can already report that also in my theaters it looks very good for Garfield. They will for sure add shows soon. It has so far only 1 show/theater and the shows are almost sold out, between 1 and 4 seats are still available. So my guess still is that this movie if it's not totally bad (and first reviews here were quite positive) will become a (big) hit. Seems not much on Thursday but it's a step in the right direction (May 6).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex ($2.52M EA+Thursday comp.)
  
• keysersoze123 (Its definitely weaker than even Elemental. That said these movies tend to finish strong and so I am not writing it off so early. Just that the long PS window is irrelevant for them. They could rather start presales like a week before release and it would be all the same. Meh. We have to wait until next week to gauge where its going to finish. It has very low ATP as well and actual would be even lower as its going to see tons of kids tickets (May 14). Early shows are regular digital shows at 1PM this sunday. So ATP will be very low. I think 500k ish at best. Preview let us see how things go in the final week. Presales at this point are almost non existent (May 13).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($2.14M Thursday comp.)
  
• vafrow ($0.4M Thursday comp. Comps don't paint a pretty picture though. EA shows are doing okay (May 11). Still no sales for my core sample for previews. But I did the larger sweep, which shows the interest right now is the Sunday early access shows. Looking at sales patterns, it's mainly blocks of 3/4 tickets, so likely families grabbing some. It's worth noting that the May holiday in Canada is the weekend of May 17-20th, not the weekend after with Memorial Day. I can see families prioritizing getting out the holiday weekend when they have more time (May 4).)
  

The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Re-Releases (June 8-10)

• BoxOfficePro (Fathom Events has also announced that select Regal Cinemas will present the films in 4DX on June 22/23/24 for Fellowship/Towers/Return respectively (May 14).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex (Up to ~1,400 shows now with new locations picking it up and others adding a second showing. LotR1 has sold 831 seats OD, LotR2 sold 715 seats OD, and LotR3 sold 735 seats OD. For comparison, Phantom Menace didn't break 800 tickets until T-3 and we're still over a month out. JW3 comp is currently around 9m (it was at 1,670 tickets sold at this point!) (May 6).)
  

Inside Out 2 Average Thursday Comp: $8.14M

• abracadabra1998 ($3.67M Thursday comp. Holy numbers of shows and seats! Multiplexes are really expecting a lot here. Sales off the bat not amazing here sadly, but we shall see where it goes (May 15).)
  
• AniNate (It is encouraging that Canton is already giving me something to work with with 12 Thursday preview sales. Same number for Fri-Sun. I do see nine sales for first Thursday at Canton now and I think that's a pretty solid start (May 15). I do see a few 1-2 spots for Inside Out on Saturday. Think some M-F workweek adult fans might be putting down money for that (May 14).)
  
• charlie Jatinder ($11.84M Thursday comp at MTC2. $16M Thursday comp for Kung Fu Panda 4 (May 15).)
  
• katnisscinnaplex (Already at 180 shows for previews in my areas and still has a few theaters left to post. For comparison, Godzilla x Kong finished with 197, Kingdom of Apes 190, and Kung Fu Panda 205 (May 14).)
  
• keysersoze123 (At least the show counts show Plexes are expecting a big OW. I dont remember when we last had a animation movie start with so many shows. I wont count Mario as that was a fan driven movie. Definitely not great presales but this is not a fan driven movie. Let us see where things are in the final week (May 15). Too early to judge presales as ticket sales just started early this morning. Families dont book tickets on weekday mornings. Wait until evening today to judge it. From a release perspective its way bigger than all animation movies seen recently including Panda 4. Easily the biggest I have seen in a long time. Only movie which is not comparable is Mario but that was not just a family flick (May 14).)
  
• Porthos (VERY BAD COMPS: $8.83M Thursday comp. I really do not have good comps for this movie. Like, at all. Especially for D1. With that in mind, I did some digging and did manage to get the Elemental D1 numbers out of the old Tracking thread: IO2 = 5.45946x Elemental on D1 [13.10m]. Now will Inside Out 2 be as backloaded as Elemental? Well it's tough to literally sell 5.5x times the amount of tickets on the final couple of days that Elemental did, so perhaps not. But it does show how fracking backloaded purely kids animation is. Anyway, this is 30 days out and it isn't a CBM film (like AtSV) or CBM-adjacent film (like Incredibles 2). The Sonic 2 comp is perhaps a little concerning. On the other hand, nearly a weeks more of pre-sales so not exactly a great comp. 3.5% of presales are 3D and 40.1% are PLF (May 15). On the Saturday of release weekend (ie NOT EA) there is a special event screening for IO2: INSIDE OUT 2: FUNKO FAMILY EVENT! (2024) Sat June 15th. Might boost the OW slightly, depending on how wide this event is and how much more these tickets will presumably cost (May 11).)
  
• TheFlatLannister ($8.20M Thursday comp. This is a super super strong day 2. Probably just Orlando overindexing, but yeah starting to lean towards something big brewing. Florida presales are somehow even crazier. Sold 2357 seats and is getting a blockbuster rollout in terms of showing allocations. Kung Fu panda comp day 2: gives me $8.50M (May 15). Well, I can't really tell if this is a breakout or not yet. Looks very good especially in the first few hours. These are probably terrible comps, but might as well try something (May 14).)
  
• TwoMisfits (I'm kinda shocked at the opening set from my Cinemarks... 2 screens (1 PLF, 1 not) and 6 showings at my PLF 14 for Thursday (and 11 showings on the same screens once it runs full day - 7 PLF b/c 1 is 3d on the reg screen, 4 not)... 3 screens (.75 3d, 2.25 not) and 9 showings at the non-PLF 12 for Thursday (and 12 showings on 2.25 screens once it runs full day)... So, 2 and 2.25 screens for the weekend presale sets... Disney must be charging a huge % for themselves b/c this is an Elemental opening set at my PLF...a little more generous for Thursday at my non-PLF, but then they too drop to an Elemental opening set after the adult Disney base Thursday rush... (May 14).)
  
• vafrow (No new sales. Whatever glitches in the system on day 1 didn't push sales to day 2. I still think the lack of base ticket options will push families to wait. Cineplex has jacked up the cost of premium formats, plus they're throwing in an increase for opening weekend of major releases. It adds up quickly for families (May 16). With the site glitching yesterday, it might account for the slow start. But, what's interesting is the format breakdown. Nothing is being made available in anything close to a regular showtime. The one non 3D showing in Dolby is a matinee showing. Everything else is carrying a hefty premium. They'll likely release regular showtimes closer to release, but right now, it's priced to get eager fans to pay the premium formats (May 15).)
  
• YM! (In fairness it's only been an hour but yeah sales are softer than I expected. However, it is a month out and will largely skew more towards kids than say TLM/Across so wasn't expecting a blitz like them. Here at Marcus theaters are going all out for IO2 with it having the lion share of PLFs with it getting both screens when there is two PLFs with tentpole like levels of screens (May 14). Was taking a look at Marcus Cinemas to see that they have preloaded Inside Out 2 showtimes which seem to start at 3:00 pm on a Thursday. It seems like Marcus is going all out on it as judging from showtimes it's taking away all of Bad Boys’ PLFs in that theaters that have two+ PLFs are giving all to IO2 (May 11).)

i have a friend at school who i’ll call katy. me and katy have known each other since the beginning of high school and started getting closer and forming our own friendship groups by the age of 13-14, i had done everything with her from having our first substances together to telling her all my life secrets, sneaking out, meeting random people on random beaches we went to whilst drunk. i’ve had so much fun with her but lately during the beginning of new years she started getting aggressive with me and idk why. when i’d hang out with other people or talk to them she would grab me by my hair or collar without notice and drag me out of the school canteen (she did this w many of our friends except she stomped on their heads for an hour straight also using a skateboard bc we’d call her nicknames she calls us) whilst i was struggling to walk and shout and yell at me for talking to people she didn’t like. at this time i didn’t know she hated the people i talked to so much because she herself would always go up to them first and pretend like they’re best friends, i told katy i was just talking to some friends about the exams that were coming up (which i was) and she’d call me a liar said she wasn’t stupid and my gaslighting wouldn’t work. i asked her why she hated me hanging out with other people so much and this was near the end of high school and i’ve only got a few weeks left now. she’d tell me that they hate me too and i shouldn’t hang out with people and that she’s a better friend. i tried believing katy but every conversation we’ve had nowadays are so dry and when i’m with someone else and katy is there too she’d suddenly make the convo extremely negative and about her. i didn’t want to be around negative friends as that would make my life aswell a bit depressing. one of the convos we had was me and this girl i’ll call ruby was going out and katy already has plans, me and ruby asked katy what she thought of the people that she now hangs out with and said “they’re better than the friends i’ve ever had in my entire life” whilst glaring at me. i was a bit upset but i brushed it off later on realising that she didn’t want me to have any friends and was extremely controlling and manipulative. should i keep being friends with katy ??

I've never fallen in love, really. My parents made me go to an all girls high school, and COVID was a big issue for the first two years of college. I have such an issue stuttering that I'm just quiet. I've seen people get irritated at my stutter before. I wish I could express my true personality.

Hi! I’m posting this message on behalf of my brother, who is currently in university for a degree in computer science. He’s not well-versed in reddit so he asked me to post this on behalf of him.
Hello,
I am a rising junior interested in the fields of computer vision and machine learning, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on what the best path to take is for the future. I know the job market in general for CS isn’t great right now, and I want to attend graduate school, but I’m not sure if I want to do a Masters or a PhD, or really what schools I should be looking at…I know top schools are the likes of CMU, Stanford, the UC’s, etc but I’m not too high on my chances of getting in to any of them (I have good enough grades but not enough experience). I’ll be starting undergraduate research at my university in the fall, where I will be working with NeRF’s and Virtual Reality. I’ve compiled a list of questions I have, any help would be appreciated:

1. Based on your own path through computer vision and machine learning, what would you have done differently, if anything?
   
2. Are there specific conferences, workshops, or professional organizations you recommend joining?
   
3. What are the most important skills and knowledge areas that I should focus on for computer vision?
   
4. How does the job market look for graduates with a master’s or Ph.D. in computer vision/machine learning?
   
5. Do you think a master’s or a Ph.D. is more beneficial for someone looking to make significant contributions to computer vision/machine learning research?
   
6. What are the best ways to secure funding for your research? Based on what my parents said, it was a lot easier when they were in college to secure funding
   
7. What are some of the top universities or advisors you would recommend for pursuing a graduate degree in computer vision or machine learning?
   
8. Which industries do you think will be best benefited or transformed by computer vision in the future?
   

Thank you for your time!

I don’t know why, I just reason out that kids are just like that. They would say I’m gross and act as if I was a plague. Sometimes I just gaslight myself that I wasn’t bullied, it was just some grade schooler jokes and pranks. After all, how would you ever cope with being bullied when you don’t know the reason?
In hindsight, it was just some petty kind of bullying. Some name calling, I guess? Sometimes they’d exclude me from groups. There was the occasional threat of violence.
Growing up, I wasn’t really confident in myself because of it. My grades back then were abysmal, and almost everyone had a negative impression of me. I felt that even the teachers didn’t like me because it seemed like I wasn’t putting any effort in class. If I got a high score, I would hear whispers that I cheated or something.
This happened all throughout grade school. I would tell my parents but they weren’t really much help. I was scared to tell my teachers because if my parents thought it wasn’t a big deal, why would they? And why would they believe me, the bottom of the list?
I don’t know. I’m just looking for a way to cope with myself.

Hi I’m F20 I am graduating from high school (I dropped out freshman year screwed everything up) and I need to get 150$ by my graduation date which is the 29th of May so I can get my cap and gown, and tickets to invite my family the tickets are 20$ each (I need 4). I have been applying for jobs non stop since I had to leave my last Job at the end of April just so I can finish school, but I haven’t heard back from anyone and I’m starting to get stressed. Like I posted a writing/editing gig I can do but I don’t think that’s gonna be able to get much traction. Technically because of one of the tests I took and passed in school my principal says that makes me a para but I don’t know what to do with that. Any advice would help tremendously. Thank you.
