Issue that I am unable to solve:
While streaming news programs on usnewson.com sometimes for hours, sometimes for a half hour, my PC will freeze and a snippit will continuously loop until I hard reboot the computer.
Below is the system info. 21.2 was freshly installed but my data and settings were restored from a previous version via Aptik. I have 32GB ram upgraded from 8GB, have played with the swapfile settings at 2,4,8,16 GB, played with the swappiness settings and still get the lockups. The issue seemed to start with LM 21. I have since upgraded to 21.3
I upgraded the kernel to 6.5.0-35-generic hoping to fix this issue. But no.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

So I (21F) met this guy (21M) about 3 months ago in a bar. He approached me we made small talk danced for awhile and he bought me drinks. We ended up exchanging snaps and have kept in touch ever since. About a month after our first time meeting we saw each other again at the bar coincidentally and hung out the whole time again. I was only home for those weekend because I go to college 4 hours away. Well last week I came home from school for the entire summer and we saw each other at the bar once again. I decided to play “hard to get” and sat down at a table with a couple friends near him but didn’t say hi, he walked up about 20 mins later and started talking to me and my friends this was the first night we have had real conversations because we both were pretty sober and it was alot less loud in this bar and in my opinion it went really well. I have made comments in the past saying things like “we should hang soon now that i’m home” and he always is like “we definitely should” but then doesn’t make a real plan. I have never texted him and asked him to hang out a specific night and i’ve been debating saying “do you want to hang out tonight” instead of just keeping it up in the air. but the last thing i want is to look desperate, or to come on too strong considering im the only one who seems to be initiating the topic of hanging out. I’m getting pretty mixed vibes considering he always snaps back super fast and starts conversations almost daily but doesn’t seem to care to make a real plan. I know he got cheated on a few months back due to some conversations we’ve had and maybe that’s why he seems stand off ish. In my experiences guys are the ones to initiate the plans. I don’t think he’s seeing anyone else but i guess that could always be a possibility. Should i sit back and let him do the work or ask him to hang out?

As title says, this man has been living in a tent in our neighbors backyard for literally a year now. I have no idea why this is even allowed, we are in a nice neighborhood in Coral Gables so it’s not like we’re living in a scary area. Every single day I kid you not since he has been here, they play old ass 90’s and the same exact spanish song/beat EVERYDAY SO LOUD. We cannot even go outside for 5 mins for peace, its insane, we also hear it in the living room so we just try not to be there. We have connected to their bluetooth speaker but it only works for a few mins and then they connect back lol. I say hes a crackhead, bc we have gone outside like 3 times to hear the tent man and guy that lives in the house (with like 5 kids) arguing about how he needs to get tf out bc blah blah money blah blah, they speak like cavemen its ridiculous, they have no shame in letting everyone know the water bill got cut off, yet still parties everyday. Its the same argument and tent man continues to live there while annoying the literal fuck out of everyone. So I feel like we cant really call the cops but like they really do start at 8am all the way until 10pm, it’s extremely exhausting listening to this. What do you guys do with annoying neighbors that wont stop playing music loudly every single day 🙃 ???? Thanks in advance

hey guys,
so a week ago I went on a date with this girl and it went so well for many hours that we ended up going for dinner together afterward.
Since then, we've been texting every day, good morning and good night, y'know.
We talked about most of actual topics during the date, and during our texting it's mostly playful messing around and flirting. she only has called me "pookie"once, no real clues that she's into me otherwise.
Then, she went on vacation (which I did know about, and I made our date before she left). She then found me on snapchat and added me. We have not texted for a day or so. We've been exchanging snaps back and forth instead of conversing. Is this normal for a developing relationship? This is my first time. she's sent me pics of her back and forth and messing around with me but we haven't really been conversing, just sending pics of things we're doing. It's been like this for a day so far.
This girl answers my texts and snaps very quickly, within 5-10 min. And I try to respond as fast.
I am trying to indicate more that I am liking this girl, she posted things on her snapchat story & added me to her private story. She's posted herself in bikini/nice clothing, and I asked my sibling if I should respond with a compliment and she said I shouldn't because I am showing too much attention/attachment.
If this girl I am talking to posts some nice pictures on her snpchat story, wouldn't it be right for me to compliment her? What should I say? For example if she posts herself in a bikini (not sent to me but putting it on her story), should I respond with something like "you look amazing in that"? I haven't really gotten to a stage where I have started complimenting her much, we've just been playfully messing around.
Also, it's going to be hard to keep this up for three months while this girl is on vacation. So far, for the past few days, we've been talking throughout the day. Should I keep this up? Do you guys think she’s into me?
Please let me know what I should do here!

i have:

• tmj
• hearing sensitivity
• tinnitus
• eye floaters
• clicking at back of head with chin tucks or sometimes when turning head.
• Tension at sides of head, and sometimes the back of head and at forehead.
• popping at back of pelvis when standing up from sitting
• popping/cracking noise at doing a shoulder squeeze behind the back, at shoulder squeeze.

Background: sit a lot on pc, didn't exercise much for years. Speculate tinnitus has been caused by poor posture or TMJ.
I've had tinnitus and some of above issues for 4 years, and i think below is the only thing thats been helping lately although might be too soon to say, however gonna share anyway coz so far it has 100% helped me with jaw clicking that i had for many years, a long with back of head clicking noises and is helping with my posture.
note -
When it comes to tinnitus i believe it has helped, however unsure if it will continue helping it or if its just a placebo effect; same for hearing sensitivity.

TINNITUS AND POOR POSTURE TREATMENT

----- working out twice a week or every other day.

• Exercise Tutorial Reps setsrest (mins)
• bulgarian split squat 5 2 1 (glutes)
• pistol squat(sat) 5 2 1 (leg)
• single leg calf raise 10 2 1 (calfs)
• hanging leg raise 10 3 2 (abs)
• pull ups 5 3 1 (back)
• Push ups 8 3 1 (chest,etc)
• pike push up 8 3 2 (shoulders)
• diamond push up 8 3 2 (triceps)

----- taking breaks from computer
Taking breaks every 60 mins from computer, to do following stretches OR stand up!:
https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-fitness/fitness/undo-the-damage-of-sitting/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9OQMBPrFgI&list=LL&index=2&ab_channel=JeremyEthier
so every 60 mins, u either stand up for an hour, or do the stretches (some of them, or all), i personally stand up every hour and sometimes when going to sit back down i do a stretch. Do what you prefer best and suits you.
Note- when standing take note of your posture, such as your feet pointing outwards when standing, this is a sign of duck feet and correct the feet to be straight and aligned.
----- jaw stretch
throughout the day i simply open my mouth as wide as possible, like use all your face and mouth to open, and simply rotate my head around (look left, right, up and down), but dont over do the rotating head part whilst u have mouth open, just look around a bit, left right, up, etc.
Note - i dont have any jaw pain, my tmj could just be muscular and may differ from your tmj, so whether this may be of help to u idk. I noticed that sitting posture influences the back of head cracking noises and jaw clicking.
Also sometimes i may also do jaw stretch like moving jaw left, right and forward and backward. But not often.
----- results after 1-2 days.
ive only done this for 1-2 days so very early to say, but i tell you what, it has done the following:
Pros:

• Less head cracking when rotating head.
• less head tension, but at same time i kinda feel like i still got head tension, so maybe not, but i feel like its helping idk.
• Smoother JAW opening, left jaw used to click a lot but now it feels smoother and less clicking.
• Tinnitus feels quieter, but can still hear it in the day but not too bad. In bed its more louder tbh.

Cons:

• Increased hearing sensitivity after jaw stretch, not sure why but will continue anyways coz fuck it and its helped with jaw opening and back of head cracking noises.
• Still feeling some head tension
• still get cracking noises behind back when i do shoulder squeeze.
• still get popping noises behind my pelvis/ at back of lower spine when standing up from sitting.

----- results after 5 or so days.
pros:

• noticeably less head cracking when rotating head left, right, and doing various circles with head.
• reduced tinnitus, its much quieter
• less head tension
• smoother jaw opening
• despite first 1-2 days my hearing sensitivity being worse, i think its actually slightly improving now.
• when protruding my jaw forward, i notice my right jaw joint doesn't make a click sound as often.

cons:

• Somedays after waking up, tinnitus is reactive and louder, but that goes away after doing jaw stretches and exercising a bit, etc. Note on top of tinnitus being reactive, hearing sensitivity also worsens during these times.
• sometimes still feel some head tension
• sometimes when turning head left, i still get a popping/snap sound behind the head at right side, near occipital area/ base of neck.

notes -- things may continue to improve if i remain consistent with the routine, i will update later if i am able to stay motivated with my workouts lol
sharing this anyway coz it probably will help someone out here struggling with finding something to help their tinnitus, tmj and poor posture.
----- notes for sitting on pc

• get an electric desk, so u can switch between standing, or you can raise table to a height that makes it easier to eat without bending the neck.
• knees at 90 degrees.
• elbows at 90 degrees.
• lumbar support.
• dont use arm rests, they are only for resting not for long hours of use on pc.
• middle of monitor screen at eye level.

----- notes for sleeping

• thick memory foam pillows aren't good for me personally, they make it harder to breathe or almost block your breathing during sleep.
• However slimmer foam pillows i think have helped.
• I have tried shredded memory foam as well and not the biggest fan, but i still switch between the thin memory foam pillow and the shredded one.
• I also make sure to always sleep on side.
• And i do not mouth breathe.
• I dont use masking noises during sleep either, even when tinnitus has been the most distracting simply because i have a feeling it would backfire and cause you to rely on a sound to sleep, on top of possibly accumulating hearing loss if its too loud by accident. That said perhaps my tinnitus isn't as loud as yours, so experience may differ.

2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT with Automatic transaxle
My car has been having issues stalling when I press hard on the gas pedal. The issues started a bout a month ago when a 20 year old trans oil cooler hose developed a crack and leaked oil everywhere. I hot it towed and replaced the hose, but then I wasnt sure how much trans fluid to add since it lost the fluid on the freeway. I also decided the change the trans fluid since it has never been changed and I had fluid, but I didn't flush it. I've been using the dipstick to find out how much it has when hot and adding about 1/2 qt at a time.
A week later I gun the car entering the freeway to about 80mph for a few seconds then back to 65mph for about 5 mins then the car stalls and my Neutral light flashes witch means the trans over heated on this model. Luckily I had enough momentum to pull over, the car would not start up again until it was cool.
I addee an external trans oil cooler to it to prevent it over heating and an inline filter since this model has a filter that can only be changed when the transmisdion is out. I added trans oil for the added volume. I used non- OEM fluid, but it said was the same as SPIII
It drove fine after that for a few days, but yesterday I went from 0-30mph fast and it stalled again this time not flashing the Neutral light to indicate overheating, but it felt exactly the same the RPMs rose to about 4k then suddenly went to 0 RPM. If anyone has ever had a timing belt snap while driving, it felt exactly like that.
Again, it would not start immediately and later started up when it was cool.
Seems to drive fine when it is going slow but hard acceleration stalls it, not all the time though because I was on the freeway before the last stall.
The codes I get often are p0171 & p0174 Bank 1 & bank 2 too lean
And p0335 Crank position sensor A malfunction
I've been getting the lean codes for a while because I have a bigger intake manifold and a forward facing intake tube, but I think there might be a vacuum leak somewhere because my fuel trims are around +20-15 for bank 1 and +17-12 bank 2 depending on the gear I am in.
I don't think the vacuum leak caused it to stall because when I accelerate the trims drop to +8-5 both banks, however I did notice recently that when I tested hard acceleration in Neutral the live data showed that the car went in to Open Loop when I let off the gas. I plan on redoing all the intake manifold gaskets but I don't think that will fix the issue.
As for the crank sensor code, that is a new sensor and it's been on for a year with no problems, I think I got the code cranking the car many times after it stalled to try to make it start up again. The car starts up fine even now after the second stall. And the code isn't coming back after a few start ups.
Any ideas to help troubleshooting would be appreciated, but my biggest confusion is why does my car go into open loop after letting off gas, can a car stall with vacuum leaks if under load the leaks are less noticeable, and can non-OEM trans fluid cause transmission to stall the car. Thanks!

My idea for the GxK sequel plot would begin with Godzilla waking up from his sleep in the Colosseum and returning to Tiamat's former layer to complete his evolution. Fast forward a few months later, and Godzilla emerges from the lair, completing his evolution and starting to look a little bit more like Tiamat.
Fast forward a few years, and Monarch detects two previously unknown Titans emerge from the Hollow Earth, Titanus Qalupalik, an ugly serpent-like fish or amphibian emerging from the Arctic Circle, and Titanus Dakuwaqa, a shark Titan emerging from a portal in the sea near Kadavu Island. Monarch figures they are here to take over the niches left by Scylla and Tiamat. Godzilla encounters Qalupalik first, who is combative, and they get into a quick one-sided fight which forces Qalupalik to submit. Godzilla gives her a pass and accepts her to take Tiamat's place. Then Godzilla meets up with Dakuwaqa, who begins a ritualistic dance of sorts to gain Godzilla's approval. After Godzilla inspects him and his demeanor, he accepts Dakuwaqa to take his new territory. Then, Godzilla moves to Madagascar to rest.
On the human side of the story, public outrage over the incompetence of both Monarch and world governments to prepare for these Titan attacks is at an all-time high. Governments are now arguing over how to deal with them. Some leaders want to eliminate Godzilla because they believe Godzilla is going to attack them anyway regardless of whether they provoke him or not and that he is too powerful to let alive. Others want to focus more on a Hollow Earth takeover and declare war on the Kongs because they fear that they can plan another attack on the surface world. Monarch tries to assure them that such an event would not happen again because of their change in leadership, but many are still unconvinced. The American government, along with other NATO countries, begin investing in developing a new type of military weapon to deal with Godzilla, the Super X. They also are trying to seal up the holes left in Hong Kong, Cairo, and Rio de Janeiro to ensure nothing from the Hollow Earth can use those portals to invade the surface world again. Monarch gets into heated conflicts over world governments over the portals, as they want to keep a few open for research purposes among other things. The governments relent and allow the portal in Barbados to remain open but require them to invest in extra security in case of an emergency.
Returning to Godzilla, he is suffering from irritating skin parasites (these parasites would be Shockirus, Endoswarmers, or an original kaiju). To deal with them, he begins trying to scrape them off by rubbing himself against the seafloor near the coast of Madagascar. He also tries reaching for some with his jaws and claws. The people on the beach are witnessing this as it is happening, and once Godzilla gets rid of most of the parasites, the beachgoers realize that some of them haven't been killed yet, and as they are aggressive and still larger than humans, they emerge from the shore to attack humans. But this terror is short lived as Godzilla quickly comes in to finish them off. Godzilla then returns back to the water but stays close enough to the island where people can clearly see him. He floats in the water, similarly to a crocodile, with his head and eyes above the water. He is staring at the people and the coasts intensely, which makes the beachgoers feel uncomfortable. Then, it transitions to some flashbacks where we see Madagascar 5 million years ago. These flashbacks would likely be of Godzilla's memories of his youth, from his birth to the other megafauna that used to exist on the island back in the day. Then, it would transition to another flashback where Godzilla encounters some indigenous people on Madagascar as a more mature individual. He curiously stares at the people and the chieftain looks back with great reverence. The people bow and begin to worship him, and Godzilla continues to look at them tenderly. Returning back to the present day, Godzilla lets out a deep low bellow, which gives off the impression of sadness. In reality, Godzilla is upset that he has become more disconnected to the world he protects and now feels like his life has become nothing but fighting to protect it without being able to take pleasure in its wonders.
Switching the attention to Kong, a fight sequence occurs between Kong and another Great Ape wielding a heavy machete. They are fighting in the battle arena as some apes watch the fight while others are busy doing other things. Kong prevails and the Great Ape falls to the ground. After the fight, Kong helps the Great Ape back up. It turns out the fight was nothing more than training; one of the things Kong has begun to do since his rise to power is to teach his people self-defense. As the audience gets a better look of what life is now like in their layer, it is revealed that Kong has recruited a group of Great Apes to assist him in pushing forward his policies. For example, there is a group of Great Apes that are tasked with keeping track of their inventory and rationing their food and water for the tribe. Another group was tasked to build a safe bridge replacing the giant skeleton, which was at this point completed. Others are taking care of the children and so on. Then there are apes that are farming fields of crops, which Mothra periodically visits to pollinate. Shimo, meanwhile, is just chilling with the apes and is not confined to her pit anymore. Kong has no generals or anyone with military roles as he has no interest in conquest and does not see the need for an army at the moment. Kong also does not allow anyone to gather food or water on their own except for him, because he does not want to put anyone else in danger. He meets up with Suko after his duel and is approached by Boots, who is also now a trusted advisor to him, and is alerting him of an approaching Titan. It turns out to be a squadron of Monarch HEAVs and Jet Jaguar, piloted by Trapper. After the fight in Rio, Monarch sent expedition crews to visit the Kong lair, and were horrified by the living conditions that Skar King created. So, they planned an initiative to deliver humanitarian aid to the apes, providing them with food or water, and also trying to make diplomatic measures with them and the Iwi tribe. They have developed a new type of bioengineered crop made from various Hollow Earth flora and Titan cells to feed the apes (which can be a set-up for Biollante in a future installment) and a new type of HEAV that can carry a heavier load to transport these resources. They also created a humanoid mech named Jet Jaguar, piloted by Trapper, which serves as both a diplomat and a vet, fully equipped with veterinary tools that allow it to treat pathologies for Titans, including the Great Apes. In addition, Monarch has rebuilt the Titan Hunter with some improvements as NATO voted to force them to reconstruct it as a self-defense weapon in case of another Titan attack. Since that has not happened yet since the Rio attack, the Titan Hunter has not yet been used. Jet Jaguar and the HEAVs are arriving at the lair with another shipment of resources, including more tools for the apes to plant their own crops. While the Great Apes begin to collect the shipments from the HEAVs, Kong greets Jet Jaguar, who is here to treat a Great Ape with severe physical ailments. This ape has torn tendons and ligaments from slave labor and requires casts for all of his limbs. The challenge with treating the apes is that they are still cautious of foreigners, so Monarch has had to learn patience when working with them. They also have only one mech to perform surgeries with, so they can only treat one ape at a time. Kong and Jet Jaguar meet up with the patient, an as they perform surgery, Kong has to be with the ape to soothe and comfort him as Jet Jaguar begins surgery. After a successful surgery is completed and the Monarch team departs, Kong sits back and looks at his tribe. He begins to have feelings of self-doubt, that he is not up for the task, despite trying his best. He also still feels Skar King's presence, as the pain and damage he has caused still greatly lingers even after death. Kong begins to suffer from insomnia and nightmares from Skar King, showing his presence is still strong and relentless even after death.
Then, the Monarch team visits the Iwi city and delivers the rest of their resources which were designated for them. Here, in this scene, while the audience gets a better glimpse of what life for the Iwi is like, they also get to see Phosphera, another guardian Titan (The best explanation I can come up for why Phosphera did not show up to fight Skar King in the previous movie here would be that she was in a metamorphosing stage during the events of GxK and was too immature to safely break out of her cocoon until after the events of the movie.)
Back on the surface world, in a lab somewhere in the U.S, scientists are experimenting with a genetically modified colony of Shinomura, which would be the main antagonist(s) of the first half. These scientists work closely with the federal government. They believe that it would be more effective to genetically engineer a kaiju superbug that can quickly evolve, spread and annihilate the Hollow Earth ecosystem at much lower costs than constructing mechs which take much longer to do and a lot more money. The cells are dormant and can only be activated by exposure to radiation, which is why Godzilla does not detect them or see them as a threat. The cells are transported by a ship to North Carolina where another portal to the Hollow Earth has been opened. The military plans to release them into the Hollow Earth and then quickly seal it, but it is backfired by a group of mercenaries who attack the ship and want to take the cells for themselves. Unfortunately, the cells are released, and they are not far from a nuclear power plant which also happens to be using the pink super charged radiation gathered from the Hollow Earth, so the cells multiply and grow, turning into a swarm. The cells combine into arthropod like monsters that are too small to be Titans but large enough to attack humans. They begin attacking nuclear plants and surrounding cities while others retreat into the Hollow Earth, which catches Godzilla's attention. Mothra gains wind of it too and emerges onto the surface world to aid Godzilla. By the time Godzilla gets to North Carolina, the swarm has absorbed enough energy to combine into a singular, massive, supercharged form that rivals Godzilla in size. They begin to fight, while the military decides to resort to Plan B and send the Super X against Godzilla. The first battle is fairly even until the Super X begins to attack both Shinomura and Godzilla, blasting chunks of Shinomura away. It becomes a three-way battle until Shinomura escapes and retreats into the ocean while Godzilla is distracted fighting the Super X. Mothra eventually arrives and Godzilla and Mothra destroy the Super X. Then Godzilla pursues the main Shinomura heading for Japan while a few other smaller colonies move to other locations.
Back in the Hollow Earth, the Shinomuras that escaped there quickly grow and begin running amok on the planet. Kong is travelling with Shimo and Suko. They are gathering more food and water to bring back to the tribe, but their trip is quickly interrupted by a squadron of Shinomuras that have combined into their arthropod like forms but now rival Kong in size. Kong leaves Suko with Shimo and takes them on himself. He has no problem ripping the Shinomuras apart with his axe and bare hands. He overpowers them individually, but as the Shinomuras recombine and reshape themselves, they begin to overwhelm him. He notices Shimo and Suko are prompted to do something about it, even though he doesn't want them to, but eventually relents and retreats into a nearby body of water to shake them off of him. Kong quickly jumps out of the water and Shimo freezes and traps the Shinomuras in the water. The trio realize that even more Shinomuras are on the way and transforming into something deadlier. The three immediately turn back and run straight for the lair. As they are running, Kong gets flashbacks of being pursued by Skar King's goons; the Shinomuras remind him of the destruction and chaos that was left behind in Skar King's advance. Kong calls out to the apes farming as he makes it back to the lair and motions them to get inside immediately. He closes up the entrance and warns everyone of the emergency. He has everyone gather all of the resources they have and take refuge in Shimo's former lair, which they now use as an emergency bunker. Boots signs Kong what are they going to do next, and Kong admits he doesn't know, but he intends to be the one to check when it is safe to leave again. Meanwhile, the Iwi are in a similar predicament and Phosphera swoops in to defend the barrier against the invading Shinomuras.
In response to all of this, Monarch sends militaristic HEAVs to neutralize the Shinomuras and has Trapper (or some other character) tasked to pilot Titan Hunter to pursue the main Shinomura on the surface and kill it. Kashiwazaki is evacuated before Shinomura arrives on the scene. Shinomura begins to attack the Kashiwazaki nuclear plant when Godzilla and Mothra arrive to fight it once again. As this is happening, the other colonies arrive to other regions of the world, gaining more strength and attacking other major cities. Godzilla notices this and is conflicted on how to deal with the threats as he is fighting, but Jet Jaguar arrives in Kashiwazaki to fight Shinomura. Godzilla charges up to attack Titan Hunter, thinking he is a threat to him just like the Super X, but Trapper notices this and bows to Godzilla before he can attack. Godzilla accepts this surrender, but quickly shifts his attention back to the Shinomura. Eventually, Titan Hunter, Godzilla, and Mothra defeat the Shinomura, but soon after, several Shinomura supercolonies that supercharged themselves on Hollow Earth energy have reemerged on the surface world to the point where there is at least one attacking each continent of the world. The largest and most powerful colony is in the Yucca Mountain Nuclear West Repository in Nevada. Godzilla is forced to send his alpha call and awaken all of the surface Titans to attack the Shinomuras, so battles begin breaking out across the world. But Godzilla realizes it is not enough and ventures into the Hollow Earth to get more help. Mothra and the Titan Hunter stay behind to hold the line while Godzilla is away and Mothra moves on to Nevada to tackle the Shinomura there, and the Titan Hunter follows her.
Most of the Titans appear to be holding their ground for the most part, but not outright winning either. However, they start to have more problems as some Titans take advantage of the chaos to pursue ulterior motives. Amhuluk wants to fight to claim his desired territory in the Amazon again and travels to the Amazon to fight Behemoth over it and causing a three-way fight between them and the Shinomura colony attacking the region. Meanwhile, in the Hollow Earth, Camazotz reemerges and sends his minions out to devour everything in their path, including the smaller Shinomuras. So Amhuluk and Camazotz become the main antagonists during the second half. Some of the hell swarm attacks the ape lair, and Kong leaves to confront them before they break through. He is able to kill a large number of them, but there are too many for him to handle, forcing him to retreat back into the lair. Several escape into the lair, which Kong is able to kill. When he reunites with his people, he gets more flashbacks of his memories of both Camazotz and Skar King. The attack of the hell swarm reminds him of the invasion Skar King launched against the Hollow Earth and surface world a few years back.
Godzilla travels through oceanic Hollow Earth portals and passes through various ruins of extinct Hollow Earth civilizations along the way. He detects Amhuluk's movements and realizes what he is doing. Godzilla gets really mad, but reluctantly continues on his current path as going back to confront Amhuluk would take up too much time and energy. He makes it into the Hollow Earth and heads over to the ape lair and finishes off the rest of the hell swarm that was still attacking the lair. Afterwards, he charges up his breath and blasts the entrance open again, startling all of the apes. Kong grabs his axe and gets in a defensive position, but after hearing a roar realizes it is Godzilla. He calmly walks into the ape lair, but the other great apes become angry and leave the bunker to mob, surround and harass Godzilla. Godzilla does his best not to escalate tensions, but snaps his jaws, hisses, and sometimes pushes the apes away. Kong roars at the apes and directs them to move away from him. The apes follow his orders and Kong approaches Godzilla. He realizes that he has called on him for help against the Shinomuras. Kong decides to go with Godzilla but does not want to bring Shimo or any of the apes with him. The apes beg for him not to go, and even Shimo seems to cry out for Kong to stay, but he rejects allowing any of his people to put themselves in danger, and he puts Boots in charge while he is away. He says one final goodbye to Suko and leaves with Godzilla.
They have to fight off many smaller Shinomuras while travelling to the surface world while heading for Nevada. Meanwhile, Mothra and the Titan Hunter are already there fighting with the super Shinomura colony. The fight is rather even, but Trapper feels like the fight is going to quicky turn against their favor if they do not get backup soon. Some drones and fighter jets arrive to strike the Shinomura. Eventually, Godzilla and Kong arrive to fight the Shinomura, but Kong notices the Titan Hunter, and has a vision of Skar King, seeing both the Titan Hunter and Skar King as the embodiment of cruelty, destruction, and conquest. Kong attacks the Titan Hunter out of anger, forcing Godzilla to be the one to shove Kong away and break it up. Kong takes a closer look at the Titan Hunter and realizes that it is not the same pilot as the one that hunted Hollow Earth fauna. The Titan Hunter bows to Kong to show he is on the same side and they resume fighting the Shinomura. So, a large portion of the movie would be showing scenes of the Titans fighting the Shinomuras at random intervals, giving a glimpse of what is going on in all of the areas where fights are happening.
Shifting back to Godzilla and Kong's fight, things begin to look grim as more Shinomuras arrive from the Hollow Earth and combine with the supercolony, and Godzilla, Kong, Mothra, and the Titan Hunter begin to struggle against it. Godzilla is still capable of holding some of his ground, while Kong and Mothra are forced to step back as close-range combat is no longer viable. The Titan Hunter gets beaten up really bad and seems to be done for until an ice blast hits the Shinomura. It is Boots, who is riding Shimo, and has gathered the strongest and physically capable apes to help their leader (A fairly large number of fit apes were left behind to care for the elderly and the children). Kong does not know whether to feel happy that his people have his back or mad that they disobeyed his orders but regroups with them regardless and regain their edge against the Shinomura. Then we see more scenes of the other fights going on around the world before Kong's army, Shimo, Godzilla, Mothra, and the Titan Hunter defeat the super Shinomura. While the organic Titans return to the Hollow Earth to finish off the Shinomuras still running around in there, the Titan Hunter lags behind from all of the damage it has sustained, but the pilot persists with helping the Titans.
Back in the Hollow Earth, Godzilla, Mothra, Kong's army, and Shimo run through the Hollow Earth, assisting the local fauna in fighting off the Shinomuras. The Titan Hunter tries its best to follow them and fight off the Shinomuras, but they eventually overwhelm them, forcing the pilot to eject himself. Luckily, a HEAV is nearby and is able to rescue him. Then, a good chunk of the plot would then focus on shifting back between the Hollow Earth fight and the rest of the fights happening on the surface. Kong directs a portion of his army to join Phosphera in defending the Iwi city, which is now under attack by both Shinomuras and Camazotz's minions. Phosphera is close to dying (and eventually does), but the apes are able to kill most of the enemies while the rest retreat. Godzilla and Kong split up, with Kong pursuing Camazotz and Godzilla returning to the surface to confront Amhuluk. Kong leaves Boots in charge of his army and takes a few other trusted friends of his to confront Camazotz, but Shimo follows them, wanting to accompany them. Kong gets more flashbacks of Skar King when he used Shimo to try to execute him, and Kong was unwilling to let Shimo go with them since he did not want to use her for fighting his enemies. Shimo persists and eventually Kong reluctantly lets her join them.
Back on the surface world, Behemoth is not faring well against Amhuluk. The Shinomura colonies in the eastern hemisphere begin to lose the fight and as some of them are killed, the victor Titans travel to regions of the world where they still persist. In South America, however, the Shinomura colonies are still giving the defending Titans a hard time. Behemoth and Amhuluk killed the Shinomura colony, but to Behemoth's dismay, Amhuluk absorbs the remains of the Shinomura colony. It is close to killing Behemoth until Rodan shows up to fight Amhuluk. Rodan quickly gets the upper hand over Amhuluk with his airborne abilities and greater agility. But Amhuluk is not affected that much by Rodan's fiery attacks, as he reinforced his body with fire resistant plants like redwoods. The tables turn on Rodan until Godzilla emerges to fight Amhuluk. So Rodan and Godzilla tag team Amhuluk while Behemoth tries to get the strength to get back up.
Meanwhile, back in the Hollow Earth, Kong, his few trustees, and Shimo are looking for Camazotz and travel through a dark, stormy stretch of rough, mountainous terrain. They find Camazotz in a plateau surrounded by a supercell. They see that Camazotz's minions are feeding him, and he is gaining strength from the radiation that his minions got from hunting Shinomuras. So, Kong, his trustees, and Shimo fight the hell swarm and Camazotz. At this point, the Shinomuras are losing out on the fight with a few large colonies remaining, and Amhuluk and Camazotz become the main threats now. The plot then moves on to showcase some of the final remaining fights between defending Titans and the last Shinomura colonies and see the fights end with the Shinomuras killed. So, the main focus turns to Godzilla's fight, Kong's fight, the fight at the Iwi city barrier, and Boots' crusade to kill the last Shinomuras, which is coming to an end. The fight between Kong and his allies and Camazotz eventually breaks through onto the surface in Canada. Camazotz creates a supercell storm and begins getting an upper hand against Kong and his allies with his new power up. Back in Brazil, Godzilla eventually kills Amhuluk and Rodan and Godzilla both head to Canada. Behemoth gets the strength to get back up.
Back in Canada, Kong and the apes come up with a new strategy to cover their ears with dirt as protection against Camazotz's sonic screams. Kong then tries to do the same with Shimo, but when he does, Shimo does not like the sensation and pushes Kong away. He does not bother trying again and tries to kill all of the minions which are biting him and the apes and causing too much blood loss. Shimo does not fare well against Camazotz despite her size as his cyclone and sonic scream overwhelm her ice breath. Eventually, Mothra emerges to fight him after dealing with the last of the Shinomuras and blasts him with her god rays. Highly stunned and weakened, Kong grabs ahold of Camazotz and notices Rodan approaching to help. He throws him at Rodan's direction, who grabs him with his talons and starts burning him. He holds him in place for Mothra to shoot Camazotz with her webbing. Then Rodan drops Camazotz and Kong finishes him off.
Godzilla arrives onto the scene not long after and shoots his atomic breath to eliminate Camazotz's storm. With all of the hostile Titans dead, Godzilla almost sends the Titans back to sleep, but Mothra approaches him and begins to communicate. The plot then ends with Godzilla returning to Madagascar to take a rest at the coast and watch life as it happens on the island. Kong returns to his people in victory, and they are finally able to leave their lair safely. And Mothra takes over Godzilla's role of balancer, allowing Godzilla to take his well-deserved vacation. This idea of a plotline would mean the movie would be 2 hr 30 min or even 3 hrs so we get the most fighting sequences out of it. I know I glossed over a lot of the human aspects and that I left a lot of the specifics of how a lot of the fights between most of the unseen KOTM Titans would look like, so let me know what your thoughts on this are.

If I travel for several months at a time, and I worry about my XR battery going to 0 and die (which it did when I left it at 50% for a year), could I just purchase a programmable timer for an electrical outlet, set it to turn on for 5 min per week (or whatever is appropriate to keep the XR at a 30-50% charge), and then the connected XR would automatically start and stop charging when the power came on and off, in order to keep the battery topped up?
I’m basically just wondering if the XR starts charging automatically as soon as the charger gets power, or if the XR has to be turned on manually before it will charge or if you first have to do something in the app etc that would make this plan not work. As I have not yet replaced the dead battery in my XR, I have no means of testing this for myself right now.
Or maybe I could use a smart plug that I could use to start and stop remotely via wifi? But I guess there's no way of checking the actual charge on the XR remotely without having a Bluetooth phone in close proximity with the XR?

I love my Galaxy S23 Ultra, but I have been experiencing poor battery life for a while now. Today I only got 1hr and 18 min SOT for 53% battery. Also the percentages in the battery section only add up to around 12% so I can't really figure out what is using all the battery. Are there any things that aren't displayed in the battery section that use up battery, and are there any known reasons why battery usage could be so high?
I use light performance profile, automatic screen brigtness, have bluetooth, nfc and location turned on and use data (usually 5G) for most of the day. Could these be what wastes all my battery? I read that using data could consume a lot of battery if you have low signal strength, but 53% for a little over an hour of SOT seems unusually high?

I've had my new pixel 8 for about 6 weeks and have noticed it gets very hot. It seems to come and go though, which is weird. Like a few days it'll be very hot and then it won't be, and then it will again.
I've done everything Reddit suggests. Disabled adaptive connectivity services, cleared cache, disabled adaptive charging, cleared cache, made sure my apps aren't running in background by turning that off, disabled 5G. Disabled Bluetooth when not using. Only using Wifi predominantly. Android Auto causes heat problems but that's expected, I turn my AC on towards my phone to cool it but don't want to damage that in the long run.
I'm getting heat problems just from using it for 10 mins, scrolling Google, amazon, Instagram, whatever. I put it down to cool off and when it's cool I pick it up again and 10 mins later its boiling.
Only thing I haven't tried is factory resetting and setting up phone as new rather than transferring everything from my old Pixel 6. (Which didn't get very hot btw)
I've missed the 30 day window to return the phone.
Any more ideas of what I can do to stop this heating issue? Do any phone cases help with heat? Charger?

I’ve got a close friend who I’ve known for years. We both struggle from mental health issues but she struggles with addiction issues and other stuff. For the past month she’s called me up everyday to talk for over 4 hrs about the same “script” of her ex boyfriend who left her and how amazing he is and how horrible he is and I get about 5 mins of talk time. At first I felt bad for her because everyone cut her out of their lives but most recently I actually see why. Our last convo left me frustrated. I tried to talk to her about my frustrations of how our mutual friend has been upsetting me. I figured since she has also has had issues with this friend we could talk about that and share and vent on that topic. We were talking about the past and I relayed to her some tough criticism of how that friend doesn’t really want to get involved in listening to the boyfriend drama and all of a sudden she snapped and told me I was triggering her and she didn’t need to hear about it blah blah blah and back onto her talking about herself. I started crying because I just felt so unappreciated and realized she just wants to talk about her crap and seems to be using me to some degree. I recently am looking for a therapist now because she’s stressed and drained me and she’s in therapy yet still calls me up to ramble on. I don’t want to cut her out of my life but also can’t take this on anymore. As soon as I set my boundaries she almost reverses back on me that she’s setting the boundaries with what I say! I’m not sure if she’s got some sort of personality disorder but I’m dealing with my own stuff. Any advice would help. I feel lost and alone in this.

hello, first post on reddit ever. i was reading some mental health subreddits to procrastinate on schoolwork and i was curious about some previous experiences in my life. these may seem obviously one way or another, but its hard for me to judge anything about myself and some insight would be nice.
i do not have any official diagnoses that i know of other than depression, but basically everyone including my therapist has accepted that i also have autism/adhd. but i also heavily relate too and sometimes exhibit symptoms akin to that of bpd, but i am a minor and understand that my brain is not fully developed and may not be this way when im older.
fortunately, i have not gone through this for a while, but ive had many moments that unfortunately my friends had to experience on text where ive felt so depressed/irrational (thinking that all my friends hate me, being filled with unrelenting pain and anger at them for a moment of perceived abandonment/being replaced, also the feeling of helplessness about school or the future…) that i felt so passionate and ingrained into a belief that i rambled about for like, from 10 min to an hour. the most distinct ones i remember is about being God and that anything i thought was real simply because i had thought it, about “beautifully suffering”, and also needing to escape my friendships from people that i loved but for some reason had fooled myself into thinking i hated and feared them respectively. after a little while for each one i would either instantly snap out of it and go “wtf did i just write” or go to sleep and wake up clueless. it feels a lot different from when i feel derealized/depersonalized, where everything feels like a dream or feeling suicidal versus being so, so fervently alive in the moment and truly believing something you could never even fathom believing in the next moment.
whenever i get delusional and ranty i always feel embarrassed and guilty after, and i feel like even with more “normal” beliefs i have no control over myself and that im broken beyond repair or something. i wish i could find clear answers about who i am and what the hell goes on in my noggin, but its like i suddenly have amnesia trying to recall who the person claiming to be God was like and why they thought that. is this supposed to be a regular 16 year old person who has a uterus thing? am i conflating a symptom of having a brain with mental illness??
any opinions or personal experience is welcomed. i truly am just curious. would also hope that anything i learn can stop me from hurting all my relationships just from existing, lol.

I (14F) was asked by my parents what I wanted for my (15th) birthday. I listed off a few general suggestions like a book by an author I like, jazz shoes for dance... and a scale. For context, I am very overweight (I think) and I desperately need to lose weight for both my own personal health and for my new dance team. Anyways, I've tried to lose weight without any success (usually the opposite affect) quite a few times, but I've found that the only thing that's helped hold me somewhat accountable is weight checks.
My family isn't very supportive of my weight loss attempts, they don't let me cook my own meals, nor do they eat healthy as a whole family, and I am often forced to get seconds or even thirds when I say I don't want more. Calorie counting, while a great tool for some, made me feel powerless since I am not allowed to dictate my own diet, and it was mainly counterproductive for me. Every morning since January, I've made a daily trek down to my parents room in order to step on their scale and weigh myself. By about late February, my parents caught on to what I was doing and no longer allow me in there in the morning (I used to bring them coffee, sit in bed with my mom and talk, and occasionally have her help do my crazy thick wavy hair). This really caused me to regress in my weight loss attempts and I gained a whopping 10 pounds in the past few months. As my birthday is soon, I've been thinking long and hard about what I want for my birthday. Unfortunately, the only thing that has come to mind is a scale (and a pair of sunglasses, but I just got a freebie pair at a sporting event). As stupid as it sounds, a scale of my own is something I have been wanting for months, even more then traditional teenage items like bluetooth headphones or expensive makeup.
However, when I told my parents this, they freaked out. They said that I have an unhealthy relationship with food and that it's irresponsible of me to want a scale. It would send my younger sisters a bad message (they don't even share a bathroom with me) against body positivity and that they did not raise me to be a girl who is obsessed with her weight. After a long while of arguing, I snapped and said " I shouldn't have to be overweight just because everyone else in the house is"
Anyways, AITA for asking for a scale for my birthday?

I just need someone else to agree with me that Pagen Min is a sweet gem who lost his child and it turned him into a monster. In the secret ending when he explains to Ajay who Lakshmana is and he says about the first time he went to her grave, he came out a different man, it just made me sob. When I found out that Lakshmana was a child and not a place I my jaw was on the floor. Pagen Min is a real dad who had his child unfairly murdered so I don’t blame him for wanting to destroy everything Mohan built and wanting to destroy the Golden Path. I don’t agree with some of the things he did but I think if I was a dad and some asshole murdered my 1 year old baby, something would snap inside of me too

I am neha ( 26 f ) , I am here to vent and get some suggestions or maybe even a real friend . This is a story of how I ruined my love life and destroyed the man who meant everything to me . We grew up in Coimbatore , i first met my boyfriend when I was in 11th grade , I actually saw him in a video , it was a Facebook video made by his friends , one of his friend proposed a girl , so they made a video of it , he was there in it too . He is tall , above 6ft , he looked ok , normal , a bit weird too with his specs and curl hair . He didn’t stand out , after few days I saw in a local chat place , he was with his friend , all sweaty , they came from gym . I recognised him immediately though. I saw him sneakily , idk why , after going home I sent him a request to his Insta . We started talking the same night , he said he saw me too , we connected way too fast , he was very funny and practical, we became best friends very soon , we almost spoke daily , in that following year we became so close, there wasn’t anything sexual , we just talk about our day and our lives daily , then he got into a relationship with a girl , I liked her too , life was so easy and fun back then , after we got into college , I Started to date a guy in my college , but we didn’t stop talking , nothing changed between us , after going to college we started getting drunk and smoking up , it was all new and we all did it almost everyday in first year , it was pretty fun . The guy I was with that time , didn’t really smoke up that much , he got drunk but he didn’t smoke pot that much , but the rest of us gathered everyday to smoke pot and play carrom . We both even meet at night to just smoke up and listen to music . At the end of the first year , one day he called me one evening and told me that he wanted to meet me , he sounded very low , I was with my my boyfriend and his friends that time but I left there immediately,booked an auto and Met him at a usual place near an IT park , we drink coffee and smoke cigarettes there usually.he was already there when I went in , he saw me and smiled but that looked very sad , he told me that his girlfriend kissed someone , a distant cousin of her actually , she kissed him in a moment and texted her girlfriend about it , she mentioned that she regrets it very much , I can’t stand it , I don’t know what to do , I feel nauseous, stuff like that . He showed the screenshots , he didn’t talk much he just smiled but that killed me . I was so angry on her , I didn’t even know what to do to make him feel better at that moment, I said she is not worth it , don’t worry , things like that . He didn’t talk about it after that , he changed the topic and he just sat there for 30-40 mins just smoking thinking about something. We speak almost daily and I know everything about him , he told me when they first had sex , we speak about everything, just not anything sexual to each other , when I saw him like this , I was feeling only rage , I was so angry on her , I don’t understand why she kissed some other guy , after getting into that relationship he was very loyal , I know how loyal he was , he even got a tattoo of her initials , but when he knew about this kiss , it made him so sad I guess . After 2 hours , we went home . I called her as soon as I went home , i scolded her so much , she started crying and told me that it was a mistake, she sounded very regretful too , she cried so much , I couldn’t bring myself to be mean after that .but that night i couldn’t sleep , my ex called me all night but I didn’t pick his call , I kept texting him , we used to text in Snapchat daily , I kept sending him texts and he texted me back to , he said he is going to get drunk and pass out , I also felt that’s better , after some days she even cut her hand , like scratches with knife on wrists , she was very regretful too , then somehow they didn’t break up , he wanted to after that but she didn’t let him , but gradually it got ok , but after this we started to speak and meet more frequently than before , I started to drop him in my college , both of our colleges are in same road , we started going in one vehicle daily. Mostly I drove , we speak all the time about nothing , even when we were going on my scooty , we just make fun of people in road , we laughed , had fun . One day he even pressed my breasts accidentally, side of my breast . I started neglecting my ex , that guy I dated that time , after few months , people started to notice , but still we didn’t care . (I actually come off from a well doing family , my family has enough money but my parents have a very unsuccessful marriage, they don’t even speak to each other , I have a younger sister and elder sister . My elder sister is married , my younger sister difference is 3 years . My parents doesn’t speak to each other , my mom openly says that they are together only for the kids . ) I loved being with him , he made me feel safe , comfortable and it’s always warm when I’m with him . We smoked pot all the time though , it was so fun , we even bunked college went to room and just smoked pot and watched anime all day . One day my ex boyfriend and his friends were in Ooty and they wanted me to come , I said I’ll come with him , I can’t come alone , and I asked him to come . We rolled some joints and started to go in his bike , we went a beautiful ride , stopped and smoked up in between, after we reached there I went with my ex boyfriend. We all smoked up that night got drunk , he usually doesn’t talk that much , but all of us were drunk and it was chill , some of my friends like him some don’t , but it’s all chill . We stayed in a tent stay there , that night I was with my ex , he wanted to make out , we kissed and did some stuff but I just felt restless and distracted, I kept thinking about him and my ex was a drunk too , it didn’t turn me on , after some time he passed out . I went out and went to his tent to see him if he is asleep , but he wasn’t there , then I started to look for him and I found him near the fire place , he was smoking up there alone with a phone in his hand , he was just singing this song 7 years by Lucas I think , he was singing along with a joint in his hand , he saw me coming , smiled but he didn’t stop singing, I can see him feeling even little embarrassed, but he looked so happy and free . I sat down there started to smoke up with him . After sometime I asked him why haven’t even kissed even once , I just asked him in a fun way but he got all serious all of a sudden , he saw me straight in the eyes and told me that he would love to kiss me , I literally felt butterflies in my lower tummy , my hips felt all tight too , idk , I still remember everything though . I kissed him in an instant, I kinda rushed in and kissed him, it felt magical . We kissed for a long time , we just kissed , nothing else . But I loved it , after sometime we separated, he saw me smiled and said I tasted sweet and bitter with weed taste . But my heart was beating so fast that time , I wanted to make out with him right there , I’ve felt horny before but he was the only guy made me feel like this , I tried to kiss him again but he stopped me and told me im drunk and asked me to go sleep . Next morning they asked me to go with them but my mind was fully on that kiss , I came back to cbe in his bike , we didn’t talk anything for the first time I just hugged him on the way back , it was nice too . I thought about plans to break up with my ex , after he dropped me home I kept thinking about the kiss , things got normal after a few days , we were like before but we started to flirt a bit , I started to call him baby and it gradually became very intimate . One day in a movie I kissed him again and he kissed me back too , we started making out bit by bit , it developed into a place where he started to grope me while im driving , I enjoyed every bit of that , I broke up with that guy I was with but he was still with that girl . Around final year first semester end they broke up too . We had intercourse the next day , it was amazing , I loved everything about him and the best thing is he is my best friend too . We rented a place for us by college end , we had sex every single day , it was the best , I loved staying with him . After this there was covid and we had to stay in our place , for one whole year I lived with him happily, he never let me down even once , he was already very caring from beginning but after we got committed , he really did treated me like a princess . He didn’t speak much but his actions were most considerate , we both worked remotely and having the time of our life , two years went by , I was happy and fullfilled , at the end of third year he quit his job and tried to get a different better job with extra good pay , 3 months passed by , one day few friends of mine from my work visited our place , they told me about opportunity to work in chennai for a month , I took it and went to chennai for a month , he dropped me to bus and sent me off to chennai . We spoke daily but not that much , I went out with my friends daily got drunk , just having fun . Some of my friends think my boyfriend is beneath me , one even said that I deserve better , she said he didn’t even get a job in three months joked and asked me whether I am the one who’s paying rent , actually he never asked me rent or money , he always paid for everything , but that time when they were joking I didn’t defend him , I still couldn’t believe that I didn’t say anything . In that week I met a guy , he came with my friends , he flirted with me when I was there , after I went back to PG I got a text from this guy , he got my number from my friends it seems . After some texts I responded and we started texting ,i liked the attention I think idk , I was talking to my boyfriend daily too , but somehow he noticed that I am not ok , he asked me about it and I said it was work issue and I am tired , 3^rd weekend I met that guy alone , he wanted to have a drink and I went , I slept with him that night , to be honest the sex wasn’t good , when he got inside me I felt darkness , I swear . Idk why I did it , after sex that guy slept in a second , I saw him lying down and I felt like killing myself , I left to my pg in midnight , I booked a cab and went back . I saw my snap notifications from him but I couldn’t open it , I blocked that guy’s number , I went to pg , cried myself to sleep . Next morning I spoke to my boyfriend , told him that I got cold and resting today , he told me that he got a job as a business manager for a US IT firm , he sounded so happy and told me that he called yesterday night to tell me this . I was crying so hard when he was on the phone , at that moment I swear I even fogot the face of that I slept with , he asked me to get rest and I hung up . I couldn’t talk to him , I felt so guilty and ashamed , as I was thinking this I get a notification my swiggy that he placed order to my pg , he bought soup . I broke down , it was like everything is telling me how big mistake I made , suddenly my thought went to that day he told me about his ex’s kiss , I can see that sad smile . I decided not to tell him and love him more and more , he had his birthday in 15 days I wanted to do something for him . When I came back from chennai , he picked me , he was so happy to see me , he spoke about his new job to me on the way , he was like a child , maybe cause he missed me for a month , I can see that he is so happy like silly child just to see me , after going home I had sex with him , I even rimmed him and I kinda liked it , it was the best sex we had , I felt alive and also very guilty . I treated him better and better to ease my guilt , but this made him very happy , I arranged a small party with my sister ,his friends and my mom .the day before his birthday we got drunk he asked me why I am not being adamant like before , ‘enna kadhal ha ‘ (joking sayin I am so in love) he joked about how afetr five years we can get super rich and start a family , I melted hearing all this .i promised myself that I will never let him down . but ha ha This is why I think karma is a bitch , at the noon of his birthday I got a text from that guy saying that he is thinking about that night . He heard the notification took the phone to pass it to me , he just saw the phone simply , just a glance and he just stopped and opened the text , I was blowing up balloons opposite of him , I saw his face and my heart sank , he came closer and gave me the phone , he didn’t speak anything , I opened my phone in a panic , saw the text and I saw him , he asked me ‘ so you slept with some guy ? ‘ , I didn’t reply , my whole mind got blank , I felt like I was gonna faint , he just saw me and said why . Of all these years I knew him I never saw him cry , but now his voice was shaking , he just asked me ‘ yen ‘ (why in tamil) . I saw tears on his eyes , I can see his eyes becoming lifeless in a matter of minutes , I tried to hug him but he just moved away , no matter how much we fight , when I hug him , he gets all cute and lovely , but he just moved away in an instinct . He then came forward hugged me tightly , he said ‘ sorry ‘ . I still don’t know why he said sorry , but that sounded so weak to me , he is my everything and I hurt him , I know everything about him and I still fucked up . He hugged me for some more time , I knew this warmth might be the last thing . After few mins , he rubbed his eyes in my dress , saw me smiled the same way . But it felt more like he is laughing at himself , I watched my 6 ft man walking out of the room , I just stood there alone , and I felt very cold , I remember that cold everyday , evening people came for the party and he got ready and cut the cake , fed me the first piece , my mom and sister was there too , he behaved very good , spoke with my family , but I can see that he is broke , but he still made it through the night , I went to speak with him that night , but he said he can’t . he said ‘ please I can’t ‘ . I choked hearing his voice , he went to terrace , I didn’t sleep at all that night , I walked around our little one bhk apartment , I smoked two packs of cigs that night , I went to check on him in the terrace by 4 , he was sleeping there on the floor , he hugs himself in sleep and its so cold , I cried watching him , just one day ago he was being silly like a kid talking about future family , now he is there alone , heartbroken . Morning usually he makes coffee and rolls one , I made coffee and rolled one , waited for him to come down . He came down saw me and smiled , but its not the cheerful smile , it just hurt so bad watching him like that , he drank the coffee , smoked up with me , even told me its good. Then he got ready , I cooked but he said he can’t eat , he is not hungry , that morning was so silent , he cheers up with he sees me , he was my biggest fan , now he left home with just saying bye . I got a text from him that aftrn asking me to move back to my mom’s if possible , I was dead . I couldn’t say no , I hurt him , he didn’t even scold me , he even requested me , I can only say yes . I asked him that I want to stay one more night , he said ok like always . That night I asked him to cuddle with me , he said ok , he wanted that too it seems , we just hugged in silent , he slept off quickly , he always told me that when I sleep with him it makes him stressfree and he gets a good night sleep . He was asleep on my breasts , I saw him sleeping and I couldn’t stop my tears , realising that this is the last time , I made a stupid mistake , but everything felt unimportant now , I saw him sleeping and I kissed him on his cheek , must have whispered sorry a 100 times , our four years relationship came through my mind , I realize that he made sure I was happy in every way he knew , I proposed him , I made him fall for me , now I broke his heart . I didb’t sleep that night too , morning I dozed off , when I woke up he wasn’t there, he made juice for me and left for work . I packed some of my stuff and went to my mom’s . when I stepped out of our little home , I broke down and cried . I went home and cried , I told my mom we fought , but my sister knew something was up , she tried to ask him but he said it was a small fight , I confessed to her that night , I still remember seeing her confused look , she is a gen z kid , but even she gave me a look of confusion , she didn’t understand how I could do that , she liked my boyfriend very much , she was almost proud of him . But when she knew I cheated on him , she felt disgusted I think . Our sister bind kind of broke too that night . My life was dull , I missed him every second , I missed talking to him , I missed his smell , everything . I just focused on work , two months went by with no contact . I saw him near IT park at our spot one day, he looked like he was sick , he lost weight , his eyes are dry , he looked so pale . I saw him from a distance and I couldn’t believe my eyes , my baby looked so weak and sick , he was having a coffe and smoking a cig alone at the place we used to sit . My eyes teared up watching him , he looked so lonely . None of my friends knew we broke up because I cheated , he specifically asked me not to say anything to anyone . I didn’t speak to him that day , I couldn’t . I was full with guilt . After going home I called his friends and asked how he was and they said that they lost all contact with him and he is ghosting everybody . I broke him and also made him alone , I seriously considered killing myself but I was a coward . After a month , when I was in office , my mom got a diabities issue and fainted , my sister called him in a hurry , he came immediatiely and admitted mom in hospital , when I came there I saw him with a plastic cover with insulins for my mom . After my elder siter came , he left , he asked me to call with updates . Before leaving he asked me why I cheated , he said “ is it because I am not satisfying you “ or “ you wanted a emotial support “. when he said that , I just stood there , I can see his face , hiding a humiliation , I never had a sex issue with him , I loved being with him , but my baby asked me this , I felt ashamed . I couldn’t face him , I just stood there , he said never mind and left . I stood there seeing him leave ,but I didn’t give up , I started texting and snapping so much and somehow I made him talk to me normally , but his eyes has lost its color, he looks like he is tired of everything . After few days we both got drunk and alone , I kissed him as soon as I got the chance , he kissed me back too , usually when he kisses , he hold me ears , looks me in the eyes and kiss me , he did the same out of the habit , as soon as our eyes locked , he bursted out in tears , I truly felt how much this man loved me and how much I hurt him , he wanted to do more but he stopped himself , when he burst into tears, my heart completely broke , I hate myself so much , I hate my friends for fucking up my mind , I hate that guy . My man is gettting punished for giving everything to me , its been a year , he changed , he looks lean , unhealthy , I even think his hair is falling , almost like a zombie . I would glady kill myself for him , I just want him to be happy , I destroyed the only person I love , I see how devastating this can get for him, he looks so weak , I can’r accept it . I should’ve defended him when they joked about him . Its all my fault , its been a year and I still can;t go back to him , I can’t imagine another guy to raise my kids , I want him . Help me .

I've been screen for, but not properly diagnosed with, mild ocd with my therapist. Main symptoms I have are anxiety around Interpersonal relationships (doing something "wrong", hurting someone's feeling, doing something embarrassing, saying one thing when I meant something else, misunderstanding people, etc.)
I get tourettes-like ticks when I have these thoughts, probably 100+ times a day. Usually they go away after I follow through with the compulsion, but sometimes the feeling/thoughts stick around and I have short episodes of panic I have to untangle myself from. they typically last less than 5 mins, and I think I have atleast 2 a day normally, maybe more of less depending on my borderline stress. I wouldnt describe them as panic attacks, it feels more like the normal thoughts I can shake off easier, and these get stuck, and I have to work it off.
The compulsions I have often feel like impulses. Imagine you trip and fall, your hands fly up to catch you, it's like that. I usually can put some amount of damper on it when I'm around other people to make it less noticeable (sometimes I might scream, blurt out something embarrassing, or slap myself in the face) but the energy has to be released somehow (snapping my fingers, blinking hard, jerking my head, humming). However, sometimes I give in to the compulsion because it's soothing, and helps my stress, or to keep it from "exploding" at a bad time.
These aren't the only type of intrusive thoughts/compultions I have, but they are the most prevalent. I haven't heard this specific type of ocd talked about, and I was wondering if anyone else can relate? I'm still knew to all this, it's been less than a year that I've known, and I don't really have anyone in my life going through something similar

Like mf I was listening to some shit on yt but I was like in another room with the Bluetooth headphones on cuz I had to do SMTH and I got a fucking like 10minute ad with some mf talking ABT like sleep I skipped after 3 mins but mf cap ads at like 30 seconds or smth Also fuck the double ads that play when u don't skip like bruh mfs know I can't skip it but still play that shit
