I've been on Lamictal for 8 years now, and it's been a real game changer. I'm on again, off again with low dose Wellbutrin XL (it causes digestive side effects after about three months of steady use), and I've been doing pretty well in that combo for all this time. I still had hypomanic/depressive episodes regularly, but they were relatively mild, and the hypomania never got dangerous or out of control, just super productive and artistic.
A couple of years ago, I started dating my current partner, and through his benign influence, I established a regular sleep schedule, which further increased my stability. I had a bit of a nervous breakdown last year from work stress, followed by a catastrophic injury that required multiple surgeries and months of being stuck in a wheelchair, but I've recovered from that, am walking, got a huge promotion at work which allowed me to stop working multiple jobs...all this to say that my life is, on paper, the best it's ever been.
I just...I don't get hypomanic at all anymore. I haven't since last summer, and that was induced by trying Wellbutrin SR to see if it would help the digestive side effects. Since then, periodic depression followed by...I dunno, normalness? Is this just what normal? Sort of boring and flat? I feel like a dull knife. I'm a theatre artist, and this past month I've lost a lot of interest in theatre. I don't feel enthusiastic about much of anything. I don't feel like myself. It feels so different from the depression I'm used to, because I was rapid cycling, so it would just sort of ping pong back and forth during an episode.
I don't want to go back to being severely symptomatic. I just want to be the energetic and enthusiastic person that I (and everyone around me) is used to me being. I don't know what happened. Everything I've managed to accomplish in the past 6 months is supposed to be good, and it doesn't feel that way. I have become a very boring person. I'm bored with myself. I don't know what to do.

I'm working on a spreadsheet that will help with staff planning across multiple projects. The first sheet has a table with individual projects listed along with the staff members and weekly hours each staff member are expected to work on that project. I then have a second sheet I want to sum up the hours for each staff member each week.
I got the summary table to work using SUMIF if I hardcode which weekly column to reference, however, I want the formula to automatically match the column name from each sheet (each column is titled with a date for the Monday of the week) so I can avoid having a different formula in each column, making this more dummy proof. I've seen some suggestions for using sumproduct for this, but is that the best way to do this? Also, can I reference table and column names in the formula instead of defining the cell range? I expect the table size will change often as new projects or staff are brought in or moved around.
First Sheet:

Project	Staff	May 20	May 27
Project 1
	Staff 1	30	30
	Staff 2	20	25
Project 2
	Staff 1	10	10
	Staff 2	20	20

Second Summary Sheet:

Staff	May 20	May 27
Staff 1	40	40
Staff 2	40	45
	want one formula that looks up May 20 from this table, and adds up the hours for that staff member from the first table.	formula should be able to be copied to new column without manual adjustment

I've uploaded a sample file here with my progress so far, let me know if there is somewhere better to upload: https://we.tl/t-bKrJXHdNkN

When to start applying for new grad roles for the best chance? And if I am graduating in Fall 2024, would it give me better chances to get a new grad job if I put that as my grad date or Spring 2025 as my grad date? (I don’t care if I don’t have work immediately after graduating for one semester).

You read that. Yes, first gf. I am 20 yo and have not been taken out on a date yet. I know men in my locality are intimidated of me especially with my height (5’7). I just wanna go on a cute date, experience strolling around with someone, pulling him in random days to chill after a draining week, or maybe do lots of adventures with him. Am I that bad? Why am I always liked but never pursued? Is there something wrong with me aside from being in the wrong place? I have noticed men who tried to catch my attention only love my attention for them and not my existence; for my personality, principles and more about me. I know what to serve in the table, it’s just that I have no one to serve it for.

Hello I am going to keep this as anonymous as possible and really only looking for way I can help. The father is a great dad kind, let him be free, and is a great communicator, but still his son has been not liking him recently. So for context I 22F (will call me Ashley) am dating a 32M (will call him John). He has a 3y old (will call him Bo) with his ex 32F (will call her Jessica). Jessica and John have only been apart a year, and currently he has 5d w Bo and she 2d. So recently Bo has been saying that he doesn't want dad, he wants mom, doesn't like dad and one time I have heard him say he hates dad. To add other thing they used to split time up evenly 3/4 day and would swap, so someone had him 4d one week and 3d another. Within the last two-three months Jessica has been requesting to have sat and sun off to "drink and organize her week" and then three days a week she works as a nurse so she cannot take him. So now it is at 5d with dad and 2d with mom. From then Bo had begun to talk about mom more and I figured typical since it is his mom and he sees her less and we do what we can to let him know she is just working and will come back to get him and we don't discourage him from talking about her. Within the last month I noticed Bo call things moms (ex: that's moms candy, that's moms cereal, that's moms tree, that's moms toy) most of the things of course are not hers as were either at a grocery store or at his dads were he's gotten new toys, and I personally don't do much to correct it. I mean he is a kid, and maybe sometimes I will be like no that's coco pebbles to help teach him the name of things but often time I am not sure what to say and just ignore it. Then too within the last month Bo hasn't been wanting to come to dads it really started one day we had to pick him at 4PM and she had just put him down for a nap and she decide instead of us coming back she was just going to wake him and that made him a bit cranky and he didn't want to leave her house and kept talking about going back to lay down. When he does come back from hers I notice often time he has heavy bags under his eyes and often make John put him to bed an hour or two early just to try to get some sleep. I wish I was kidding but sometimes I am like he should go to bed now cause he'll have double bags and just glossy eyes and noticeable irritable from being tired. Other things I notice too that whenever he comes back from hers A. he has begun to hit the table or will clap at you and point and grunt to get you to do something B. he will also be more upset when we ask him to say please or thank you and says "I don't want to I want to point" C. I understand that she had bought him nerf guns for Christmas he turned one (?? idk what john says) so she plays fight and hits with him so he will hit a lot more the day after hers as well and he doesn't understand when to play hit and sometimes he'll get really ruff and rude with his grandpa especially (his grandpa can barely hear especially high pitched voices so Bo will often hit him after grandpa doesn't hear him and respond). Very boy thing to be rough we get it so we just do our best to say we don't hit and to be kind and move on and D recently (I have picked up on it but from phone calls I have over heard she will say things like "Bo you are such a selfish boy" in like a giggly silly way and he's a huge copy cat so he'll say it back (as he'll say most everything back). Another thing I noticed every time the last 6 times we've picked him up he's got moms favorite, moms epic dude, momma boy, momma something on his shirt. WHICH again is great and cool, but I believe its more of a manipulation thing. A lot of this behavior from her is recent and not typically within the last 4-5M it has started. Ever since I got introduced to Bo he has wanted me and wants to talk to me and accidently called me mom for a month and talks about loving me a lot and about 4-5M ago she did send a huge text to John explaining she wants me nothing near her son and I am trying to take him and how she hates me, then after all that its been all super sweet talk, all mommas boy, they have also been going out more to museums and she's been bragging about taking him everywhere. So after all that context my big question is what can I do to help my boyfriends son from not talking like that and seeing that his dad is good or is there just anything I can do to help. P.S yes he does punish him and he gets very angry about that, but its only for serious thing like hitting to hard sneaking out of the house or throwing grandmas decorations and smashing them knowing not that's not good, but I cant and probably actually can believe that she doesn't punish him cause she only has him two days shes off both days and can do whatever he wants plus she begged and pleaded for the house John bought so she doesn't have to live at her parents were they have they have more rules cause they don't want their stuff broken our "floor ruined" (I think it sucks but its were he lives and its who his parents are and I get it so, we also have other things to work around)

Hi I’m 20 and I’ve shopped in Penneys all my life, but honestly over the last few years I’ve noticed the quality of their clothing has gradually become atrocious.
I’m looking for suggestions on clothes shops that are higher quality than Penneys, and still reasonably priced (think H&M sorta price range, not too high like Urban Outfitters). Also places that carry clothes more suited to my age, not for older women.
I’ve spent some time learning about fabrics recently, so I now have a better idea of which fabrics are best for what I need, so I always read the fabric labels when shopping, and this has helped me avoid certain items, but it hasn’t fixed things entirely.
I’m finding that I buy almost an entire new wardrobe, and in 6 months time, a large portion of the clothes are just in an abysmal state. And I’m washing them as close to the instructions as possible, but they still end up almost unwearable.
Not to mention the sizing is a mess. I will purposely buy a size smaller in a top because I can see that my normal size has been made too large, and yet somehow they’ve made the shoulders massive like it’s a men’s top, and I don’t have narrow shoulders.
Also I won’t touch online shopping because I like to see and feel things before I buy.
Thanks.

Hey all, I do tech consulting for service businesses and I want to deepen my expertise on how to best guide my clients in relation to localized service ads / strategies (almost all my clients are localized service businesses).
Does anyone know of some good/accurate/concise and up to date guides on where to start?

Hi, my name is Luis.
I’ve built landing pages for SaaS companies that convert 20%+ of cold ad traffic into paying customers. In my agency we charge up to $10k for a single landing page (based on initial fee + performance fee).
Here’s some advice on how to increase your landing page conversion rate.
At the end of the day, paid ads are the best acquisition channel for a startup (it is scalable, predictable and automated), but it has become fu***ng expensive.
You can’t make ads cheaper, but you can turn a 2% CR landing page into a 20% CR landing page to make your ads profitable (and you already know what profitable ads mean: More customers, more revenue, more profit, more investors, more cash, etc.).
Based on what I've seen, high-converting lading pages follow three rules. But, first of all, if I've been able to build 10%, 25% and even 40% conversion rate landing pages is because I understand what drives conversion. Let me explain.
Do you know why they say that the money is in the follow-up? Because the difference between someone who doesn’t know about your product and a buyer is FREQUENCY.
Frequency drives conversion.
Why are retargeting ads so powerful? Because what they really are is a frequency campaign. Constant exposure to THE SAME ONE THING again and again and again.

Conversion rule #1: One big idea or message.

How you communicate your product is crucial. Communicating your product goes way beyond features and benefits. You need a big idea or message.
Sales pages with a conversion rate of 10%+ convey ONE (and only ONE) big idea. And they do it repeatedly—again and again and again and again and again and again.
My headlines refer to my idea, the body text talks about my big idea, my visuals depict my idea, my Q&A centers around my idea, the testimonials I include are the ones that mention my big idea, etc.
A big idea / big message is easy to remember and gets stuck more easily in our brain through repetition.
Which one is easier to remember?
"Focusing without distraction on a cognitively demanding task for an extended period…"
Or...
"deep work.”

Conversion rule #2: No options, no distractions.

That means no pricing plans, no bar menu, no about us page, no links, no “join our email list,” etc. Only one page, where the only way of getting out is by clicking a CTA button that takes you to the sign-up or a demo call.
When it comes to your offer, there are numerous variables to consider: Free trial or no free trial? 7-day or 30-day trial? Pricing? Plans? Features? Cc required or not required? Etc.
I would really love to advise you on exactly what to offer, but I don’t know your product, your industry, your competitors, etc. I can only say that each option has its pros and cons.
For example, free trials without a credit card requirement tend to convert better, but they also attract less committed users (most of those people won’t even try your product).
I’m not stating that one is definitively better than the other. What I’m trying to convey is that you need to test different variables. What works for another company might not work for you, and vice versa.
Remember: Options kill conversion.
So forget about pricing plans. Create ONE compelling offer designed for customer acquisition.

Conversion rule #3: Easy to read.

Headlines, headlines, headlines...
The rest of the copy doesn’t really matter. Convey your big idea through your headlines. Literally.
I should be able to understand your product solely by reading your headlines. The rest of the copy should sell your big idea again and again and again. People are lazy and will scan your page (via headlines) for 10 seconds, before deciding if they understand what your product is about. If they like it, they will keep reading.
So, don’t use typical, vague marketing headlines.
Headlines you don’t want:
“Powered by AI”
Headlines you want (specific):
“Save 300 hours per month thanks to our customizable AI.”

Easy to read. Easy to remember. Full frequency. No distractions.

Those are the building blocks of a great sales page.

Now, I know what you are thinking…

“Everything here resonates with me except ‘no pricing plans’. Can you clarify what you mean?“
My response…

1. Build a second landing page: A dedicated landing page where you’ll be driving ad traffic to and which is designed for conversion.
   
2. This page should target one specific group of people.
   
3. Put together ONE single offer: One price point, one set of features and an incentive to sign up TODAY.
   
4. Want to target another group of people with another messaging/price point/set of features? Go ahead. But, don’t offer 3 plans that will generate friction and create confusion when your CTA is a free trial, bc people will choose the most basic plan in 99% of the cases.
   

“Would you be ok with sharing landing pages that are at 20% or more? I’m a visual learner so would be cool to see something tangible.”
Yes, click here?node-id=0%3A1&t=2RNjGZslsPF1E3TG-1) (Figma file with 3 pages built by me and my team).
“Where do all these ideas come from? I’m curious to see your entire approach. ”
Here you'll find a $35 guide that I’m selling profitably through ads. I want to give it to this community for free. Inside, you’ll find my entire approach and philosophy to make paid ads profitable.

Last but not least

If you've read all this and come this far, you can comment your landing page, and I'll do my best to review it for free :)
I only hope this post was helpful. Let’s make paid ads for SaaS startups great again!
Thanks, Luis.
My LinkedIn in case you want to know more about me or even connect.

this just happened earlier today, for context he’s 18M and i’m 20F and we met through a groupchat of our mutual friends, we were talking and he was nice at first but would very quickly start lovebombing me (saying i’m the perfect girl for him, telling me he loves me so much within the first few days of us talking, never-ending compliments, even bought me a game we’d play together and told me he’s had the “best gaming sessions ever” with me)
i’ve never dated or had someone talk to me this way before so i was very flattered at first and tried reciprocating his words (though deep down it felt off to me, but i thought he was just being really sweet- i convinced myself i had feelings for him as well) - i hope i don’t sound daft saying this but i barely talk to guys in my life in general and so i’ve never had this kind of situation before!
so about 2 weeks would pass, there would be a continuation of lovebombing and although i liked it at first i would eventually get tired of it and i knew i didnt have real feelings for him, though i didnt know how to reject him at first? but earlier today, he blocked me out of the blue (i think i just didn’t respond faster than he’d hoped) and very quickly unblocked me trying to gaslight me and act like nothing happened and that immediately gave me the confidence to confirm i would reject him (because thats a weird thing to do lmao)
so i admitted to him i felt uncomfortable talking to him as i lost interest and that i didn’t have true feelings for him,and id also now prefer being by myself than to talk to other guys including him
and then he immediately began charging at me with insults! he was talking about how “bad i am for him” and called me sexist slurs which came out of nowhere 😭
i called him immature after that and i said im not sure why i even bothered to keep talking to him given his immaturity and i told him to grow up
i blocked him after that, then one of our mutual friends soon texted me about how this guy was venting to him about wanting to “kill himself” now… but also that this guy was going on about how horrible i am as a person so this friend wanted to question me about it
i told my friend this only happened after i rejected him, and that i rejected him because i felt uncomfortable talking to him due to losing interest from all the lovebombing, his weird behaviour, as well as being put off by him insulting me after rejection, after he said all these nice things to me
my friend understood and is trying to convince this guy to just move on and get therapy
ngl i was concerned, i asked another one of my friends about wether or not this guy could be serious about ending his life and immediately she was like “hell no” after i told her about the excessive lovebombing which basically made him out to just be a manipulator
so now that im no longer in contact with him, i just feel like i’m free from some chains that held me down, i’m glad i didnt keep talking to him pretending like everything would be fine
TL;DR so i learned this guy is 100% just being manipulative and was manipulating me as soon as the lovebombing started (something i had never experienced before) and that him threatening to end his life was purely guilt tripping as well
i’m so glad i rejected and blocked this guy because i cannot imagine myself in a serious relationship with someone like this!

I have been giving Todoist a go after having been using GoodTask (Apple Reminders enhancement) for several years on Mac and iOS. I am surprised by how much I like it.
Questions on using Siri though:
1 - am I correct that Siri can't very reliably be used to create any kind of recurring task at all? If there is a trick to it, or phrases that work, I would love to hear them.
2 - is there a best practice for getting BOTH a due date AND a time in a task using Siri? In some experimenting, it seems saying the time first works best (e.g., 3 p.m. on June 1), even though my first instinct was the reverse (June 1 at 3 p.m.). This latter approach seemed to not work very well at all, but so far the first method works great. Is there a best way to do this?

I've failed two driving tests (second one this morning) and both times it's been a result of anxiety/nerves taking over in front of the examiner and making one stupid mistake. Things I never do on lessons, where I'm driving independently as my instructor says I'm a safe, confident driver. I've now had approx 70hrs and drive my partner's car about once a week.
My instructor said today that she doesn't think I should pay for any more lessons as "I'm ready" but she will take me to my next test date when I can find one. I feel like I must need more lessons if I keep failing? Instructor says I should just practice in my partner's car, but I don't want to slip into any bad habits (it's a much bigger fully electric car) so I have the best chance of *hopefully* passing next time. I've spent over £2k already on lessons and tests, it's miserable.
Sorry for the woe is me post - I'm feeling depressed after failing a second time and knowing there's no local test availability until October.

Just a little backstory, this EX was her first everything but he was also supremely emotionally abusive. He would spread rumors about her, and essentially ruined her social life in high school. They only spent 8-10 months together total before he turned on her. It has always been a source of trauma for her.
Recently, he came messaging her on FB. He kept trying to apologize and kept messaging her every few months. Finally she answered back and they started talking. I told her I supported facing him to get any closure and help heal any wounds she's carrying. I never once had an issue with her talking to this Ex or any Ex. I've never been the jealous type, I trust her completely even though I don't trust this dude for one second with his strange intentions of reaching out to her 20 years later.
Anyway, fast forward 2 weeks, I notice her texting non-stop for hours one evening. I knew immediately is wasn't just a friend, I knew it was him. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to be "that guy". But my stomach was in a knot seeing her so engaged with her Ex.
A few days later she said she wanted to let me know that they spoke on the phone and are now texting, and that he's really changed. That she unpacked this all with her therapist and they both think it would be good to forgive and move on and have this connection. They are now meeting for dinner and a movie to meet in person for the first time in 20+ years to unpack everything. She subtlety mentioned he warned him she doesn't look the same as she did in high school, and that he re-assured her she will always be beautiful and that of all the people he dated she treated him the best. I asked if that was her goal, to get this male attention from someone else from her past. And she admitted that it felt good to hear it from someone else besides me. All things I understand. I totally do. Being together with the same person for that long I'm sure brings on its monotony. But I've always strived to make her feel wanted, desired, appreciated, loved, cared for. And now I question what I'm not providing her.
I asked her if I was lacking anything that she is seeking in someone else, and she said no that we are fine and that this is something different. And to her credit she has not acted different with me at all, we are still close, there's no awkwardness or distance other than me getting stress cramps and trying to hide how all this affects me. At the end of the day it still feels like it's an "emotional affair". But I'm scared of even bringing that up because I don't want to come across as some immature "jealous" husband. He is now on her FB, "hearting/loving" every post of hers, yes even the ones with me in them. She then asked me why I was checking who likes her posts. I told her I didnt, that when I go to like a post of hers I just see right there he's already there with a "heart" on it.
I know it sounds childlike and immature, and I've seen similar posts here with this same situation. But the fact that my wife is enjoying the attention but assures me that she has zero feelings for him and that they just talk about movies and music still doesn't make me feel any better. I can't sleep most nights now, this knot in my stomach won't go away. Last night I smoked 4 joints and downed 2 glasses of scotch to try and knock myself out but it was like my body was immune to the effects, I spent the whole night wondering why she's doing this even though she's explained it from her POV several times now. I trust her 100%, but my the stress and anxiety just won't go away and now I need to hide it because I fear of making her think I'm some controlling person that wants to dictate who she can or cannot speak to. I don't want that, that's not who I am. I honestly told her I'd be fine if this was some random guy friend, or even a stranger from Reddit or something. But the fact that this guy not only has been with her, but also treated her poorly, just makes it all weird to me.
I don't know what I can possibly do without making her resent me. I don't want a world where she cuts off this guy fully and then resents me for making her feel like she needs to do that. But from the very beginning this whole thing was supposed to be about getting closure, and the surprise of it turning into texting and now meeting up took me by surprise. She's been very open about it, she isn't hiding anything. But part of me feels like he's making moves on her, hitting on her, or just being flirty with her. I haven't seen any of the texts, and I would never look unless my wife willingly showed me (I havent asked to see them because I really do trust her, I dont want to go down that road).
Anyway, it's been throwing me for a loop, and I miss being able to sleep without a painful knot in my chest and stomach. As someone who's been passed over many times before meeting my wife, those experiences naturally pop up in my head. But I know she'd never do anything since this dude is a mess. He may have a GF but he's unemployed, went to jail and has a criminal record, and never got an education. I just don't know what to make of this, is this an emotional affair? Am I being a weak selfish person wanting this dude to just go back to living in the shadows? I just feel all out of sorts over it and don't know how I can even approach this without being the bad guy.

TLDR: My girl says she’s confused and doesn’t know what she wants. She wants to be with me but have distance.
My (30f) and my girl (25f) broke up last week. She and I were together for 1.5 years. The last few months it has felt like she was trying to push me away. I talked to her about it and to me it seems like she feels as though she is missing out on time with her friends. I tried to be reassuring that I want her to have that too and not be all consumed with me. She took it well and things were good.
A few weeks after she came over late crying and told me she doesn’t feel like she should be in a relationship. She loves me and has feelings for me but she’s confused and doesn’t know what she wants. She told me I’m the best significant other she has ever had and she will regret this later. I was said okay we just need to break up clean break no contact. But I hated that for a week and contacted her.
We met and she told me many of the same things but that she is attracted to me, she still wants me in her life. She wants to kiss me and hold me and still go on dates. We cried together I stayed with her that night and we had sex.
I’m trying to give her space to deal with what she needs too. Both of her last relationship were very abusive which I think is scaring her. She still send me snap chats, text, instagram and tik toks. She wants to meet up with me still and I want to be with her but I don’t know what to do.
I think I may have been too clingy on accident without realizing it, and I just want to show her how much u love her. I never asked for marriage or kids but I don’t know what’s scaring her.

Hey all. Really would like some advice and suggestions on a topic I’m sure a lot of you have experienced before.
I (25F) have a best friend (25F) who is married to a man and we all hang out quite a lot. Usually, my friend and I grab a couple drinks and then her husband joins us a little later. I a couple weeks ago, we were all out and having fun and I bring up this dating app I recently joined called Feeld. I asked them hypothetical scenarioss like open relationships, three ways, etc based off what I have seen with couples on this app and meant it to be a funny conversation. My best friend kept the convo going by asking me to ask more hypothetical scenarios and I never thought twice about it. A couple days later, she invites me out w her husband and we all drank a lot beforehand. I remember buying the husband a shot since my best friend was done drinking for the night. I made a funny comment about how it’s being a while since I’ve had sex and we laughed and moved on. We always share an Uber home and they just add my place as a stop.
Fast forward to the present, and she’s ignoring me. I ask if she is okay, and she sends me this paragraph about how “uncomfortable and violated” I made them feel with my comments and actions. She mentioned that I “crossed the line w her husband by being too flirty and touchy”. Obviously, I apologized and said how mortified I feel that I made them feel this way. I never thought or viewed either one of them in a sexual way
I want to crawl out of my skin. Never in a million years would I intentionally make my best friend and her significant other feel uncomfortable. I am so embarrassed and feel like our friendship of 3 years has been ruined. I have sm respect for her and her relationship and shocked she would thinking I would ruin that.
My lesbian friend feels there is a lot of homophobia / biphobia in play here and I feel the same way. I have been very open about my sexuality as it is a big part of my identity. Has anyone been thru something similar w their straight friends? How did you feel and how did you handle it?
Tl;Dr: my straight best friend and husband are uncomfortable by my actions and comments

I’ve tried at least three different dating apps and I’ve had varying experiences in all of them. Boo was pretty decent, since it is where I got the most matches, but there’s not many people there that aren’t cis (at least nearby) from what I’ve found, and this might just be a general issue but people never usually talk back when you match; her was decent, but I’ve only ever matched twice, once by a bot, and the other by another trans girl who told me she doesn’t actually like trans women right after we matched, also I ran out of profiles like really quickly, probably because of the range, but at least there were people nearby. Taimi was terrible because the app doesn’t work without a subscription model. Oh sure, you can pray you match with someone else but you can’t even see who liked your profile so it’s completely a matter of luck, and I’m not good with luck.

I started listening/watching to Just Roll With It in June of 2023, and began to work my way through every video, one-shot, and campaign available publicly or via patreon. As of May, the day The Suckening concluded in fact, I have finished every episode that has been released and is available to find (including the Fated and Convergence). I’m now a die-hard fan, naturally, and therefore made my own definitive guide of what to listen to, and in what order. I was originally going to write up a review of each series/one-shot as well, but nobody wants to hear my random opinions (some of which are contrarian to popular fan views). So I’ll spare you that (you're welcome).
I’ve made a couple of versions: one that I consider the optical viewing/listening order for people new to JRWI (starts with one-shot proposals, enters into Riptide, ends with Fated/Convergence), and one that is chronological (for those re-listening and wish to go in order from The Fated through The Suckening).
Although these guides are for myself, I am sharing them because when I started JRWI last summer, it was pretty overwhelming to figure out where to start, what to watch, and in what order. The one-shots and what-ifs in particular threw me off, and I didn't know when I should mix them in. Coincidentally I'm doing my first Persona 5 playthrough, and that too is best experienced with a guide (ACE walkthrough all the way, baybeee).
I’m providing a PDF version and the Excel/sheet version. The PDF version is for people who want to grab it and run with it. The excel version is for people that wish to alter the list for their own tastes, whether that’s changing the order, making the tables look prettier, or doing anything else your heart (daddy) desires. Just make your own copy and do as you please!
For fun there’s also a factoid section that just gives you fun facts about how long each series is, how long they ran, how many episodes they have, etc. Pointless info, but fun to know. I might also add a JRWI Just Rolled With It section to that section so that there’s a definitive record of who had intro’d the most, who knows!
There is also a google form included as well. This is to be used to submit any errors found so that the sheet can be corrected if something was missed. So if you are looking at the info and find that something is incorrect (such as a wrong date or episode length), please take a quick minute to fill out the form so that the sheet can be updated.
Anyway, that’s all! Thanks for letting me share, I hope some people find this useful.

Me and my girlfriend moved in to a new apartment together at the 1. March. As usual, I needed my Debt Collection Information (Betreibungsauskunft). I bought this on the website of die Post. Here I ordered the online DCI (Debt Collection Information) for CHF 22.90. It mentions that you will order this from their partner. The name of that company is Tilbago AG. So I ordered and as promised, I received my DCI in 1 day. Everything good, so I thought.
4 days ago I suddenly received an email from an Debt Collection Company (EOS Schweiz AG), that I haven't payed a bill dating from 31.01.2024. This was from a company called CRIF AG. Since I did not order anything from that company, I gave them a call. They told me that I have ordered a Credit Certificate (Bonitätszertifikat) through them with a third party website credittrust.ch, which is not true. So I asked them, who gave them that order to do so, because clearly that wasn't me. The woman on the phone said the order came from a company called Emonitor, another company I have never heard of. I could tell, that the woman on the phone didn't believe, that I wasn't the one who ordered the Credit Certificate, because the only way to order the certificate is with your ID details (probably a copy). She told me if I scroll down on the website of Emonitor, I can see that they have a partnership with credittrust.ch, which leads to CRIF AG. I noticed that this women won't be any further help to me, since she doesn't believe me + the fact that the company sold the bill to the Debt Collection Company (EOS Schweiz AG) and I have to deal with them. (yes, I know I'm not obliged to pay there bullshit fees, so I do not really care about them).
So, I'm still looking at the Emonitor website and click on the 'all partners & interface', and who do I see: Tilbago AG, the third party company of die Post, I ordered my DCI with. So I just went through the whole ordering proces again here. Since it has been a few months, I forgot what information I had to put it. On the third step, you have to upload the front- and backside of your ID. Can I conclude, that these people ordered something, without my knowledge and without my approval, a certificate which I have to pay? I looked at the General Terms and Conditions. I couldn't find anything them stating they gain the authority to do such a thing, by me signing the contract.
I payed for there services of Tilbago AG by TWINT. Now, the thing is: I tried to call them, but nobody is answering the phone (of course). I looked at their google review rating, and I don't have the feeling they will ever reply by phone, nor will they be very helpful by e-mail. The company is based in Luzern. I am able to visit them in person and ask them what happened in this situation, but I'm not sure if a) they let me in, or b) this will bring me in trouble.
So my question is, what can I do, other than hire a lawyer, which doesn't make sense for the original amount of CHF 27.90 I need to pay? It's about the principle. I didn't order, I shouldn't have to pay for it.

So it might be a confusing start but please bear with me (I’m not the best at writing and English is not my first language so sorry)
I started noticing my friend was a little clingy of my best friend 2-3 weeks ago and I suspected he likes her (this would not be the first time), he’s literally the definition of “if you smile at him he’ll marry you” . 2-3 weeks ago my best friend and I made it plans that we’ll watch movies together that weekend and she said she’ll be there at 3 and that same day I broke up with my now ex gf and I had a tough time so I really needed her and I was waiting for her to come. She was late with 1 hour and when she arrived she was with my friend, she apologised for not being here but didn’t even ask how I was and I was pretty upset and she ignored me and mostly talked to my friend. At night we went for a walk and I asked if they are together and she said no and asked if it would be a problem if they were , I told her no but I’m just annoyed about how many times my friend flirts with my relatives/ friends . She went silent kinda and has a troubled look on her face.
We went back home and my friend started blasting my phone with messages cursing at me and telling me how much he hates me and how could I do this to him cause apparently my best friend got mad at him cause he flirted with everyone but got with her cause she also liked him. We resolved this whole thing and they didn’t break up but the things he said was kinda hurtful. And this was like2-3 weeks ago.
To the present my mom told me some stuff about my friend (my mom knows my friend cause we’re kinda childhood friends) and I started to hate him too (my mom also hates him). But I love my best friend like a sister so I try not hating him so much but I really don’t want to be his friend anymore (he wants for things to go back the way they were when he wasn’t dating my best friend). I just want to tell him that he stopped being my friend the moment he started dating my best friend. I know this would be a mean thing to say but I really don’t want to be around him anymore. He always becomes rude and ignorant the moment he starts dating someone.
So would I be the Ahole if I told him I didn’t want to be his friend anymore?

Our relationship didn’t start the best I could say. I’ve been with my gf for about 5 months (29M) (26F) and everything is fine the typical fights and what not(we live together) but I’ve been living with paranoia that she might cheat on me or talk to other men.
I met her late 2022 and it was all fun and we got along,she did talk to multiple men while I was talking to her but it’s fair since we were not together, she did say that she had the biggest crush on me for a year and was waiting for me to ask her out but to her it seemed like I never liked her.
Around summer time I get a call from a man trying to talk to me and I soon discovered that that man was her husband and he told me that they were married and everything and I felt that pretty heartbroken but I went to ask her for her side of the story. She told me that she was married but they were separated and planning to divorce. She said she separated before moving and that they weren’t a thing and I believed her story.
I didn’t ask her out till January this year. When I asked her out she immediately said yes but then she told me she was actually talking to another man and she told me she needed to break things off first with him. She meet him around the same time I met her but seems like things got more serious with him (she was staying at his place a lot, leaving her pets there, met his mom, going on road trips etc) and I was like dam. I told her so you have a whole boyfriend out there and she said no that they weren’t dating. So I took back what I said about being my gf and gave her the option to decide, it took her 4 days and only because I gave her a deadline.
tl;dr Now we are together but now I feel paranoid that something will happen to me. Should I feel this way?

Seen: Season 9
Stepping back, I go all the way to the magical age, I wait for things to happen and allow the gods to destroy the world but instead I let myself be known to them, giving my greetings and sucking ass to the destruction god. The difference between the original is that I stick around for the aftermath after getting myself some elixir of eternity, talking and getting along with Salem until and making her think I am a manifestation of the mind and make sure she doesn't go inside the pool of destruction, but ultimately leaving her alone at the last legs of the journey so she can fall in later without my positive influence.
When Ozpin is reincarnated, I once again wait for him to begin moving and meet Salem, I then allow them to fight and return for my misdirection technique where I trick Salem, giving Ozpin enough leverage to get the girls out. I then lay the guilt on, HARD, about how she killed her own daughters and how she could have died millenniums ago if not for her pride and ego, being 1000x worse than her father. In the event this mental manipulation solves the problem and she admits her mistakes then yippee, but, otherwise, I continue with my plans by hiding the children and allowing them to find relationships while I continue researching the grimm. I take them to the lower islands on the map, clear out the grimm and use my own which I would either have tamed or learned how to herd and fake extreme grimm density. Slowly I build my population and selectively breed the people to be taller, stronger and not alter Ozpin's reincarnation cycle by using my own stock. When we start reaching modern stuff, I kill Cinder before she has the chance to take half of Summer's powers and allow Pyrrha to possess the half-dead corpse. I would have also come out at some point, possibly with my men, to continue the heavily guarded city beyond the mountains, using it as an emotional sponge to massively decrease the grimm population. Meanwhile, over the years and well after exploration had finished, the other islands in the south near Vacuo would have been cleared out and populated. Using these islands, a lot of resources would have been sent to Menagerie so their paradise/asylum/home was more than a tropical tourist spot with terrorists. Similar events would be done around the world like expanding Atlas with a city on its Eastern side that exploited the same deep dust veins.
Come the attack at Beacon, well that is simply an event that shouldn't be stopped, instead, the forces were to be relocated elsewhere and when everyone left with plot significance the soldiers could come in and clear out the rest. The story would continue until the ladies got to Atlas, at which point the plan to leave the planet would be progressed while I take the knowledge wish granter, killing Salem's agents and allowing Atlas to safely leave orbit while the spacial bridge was opened for the people under Atlas. Finally, entering the 9th season, I jump down and eat the time fruit, giving Jaune a wink as I surpass him and vanish to the beginning. Watching the gods grow up, I capture their destroyer and teach them responsibility before beating the shit out of them, knowing that their journey of discovery will force them to repeat their mistakes. With what needed to be accomplished done, I take the leaf and get behind Jaune once more so I can go exploring, collecting and learning. Once I have seen all I possibly can, I end up back at the tree using the leaves and go to the present, saving the cat and the demon for my trump card, modifying the lamp to hold them and give the cat the answers it wanted while making the demon more humane and able to change his size. I then once again leave team RWBY and friends with the cat and demon by my side with a bunch of leaves and a seed.
Now back and ahead of the story, I reconnect with my people, happily hearing how things have gone as directed and that Atlas has positioned itself above Vacuo, sending down massive amounts of resources upon request and establishing an inter-planetary defence network that utilises mechs, asteroids, lasers and drop pods. The best part is that after getting the help of the Tree, the final part of my plan has been completed where I reveal myself, showing off my army of faunus, silver-eyed, semblance-using, magic users. The best part is that the Tree wasn't just used for a time skip and secretly helped complete my final form.
Like Salem, her immortality allowed her to be drenched in grimm energy which would have eroded anything else, giving her control and partial traits, as well as a liking for destruction. But the truth of the grimm component is that it is like Venom from Marvel and has the opportunity to harmonise cells as free parts that work with even greater determination and vigour. Mixing it with a body is hazardous and wouldn't have the intended effect and using an immortal simply creates a balance because there is no means of contention. But since I spent the time gaining pawns and researching dust, I would have finally been able to conduct a hybrid formula of dust and grimm that could be injected into exceptionally strong individuals or immortals with a proper synchronisation rate. As for the cat, it offered the potential to enhance things even further by using its supernatural and reality-defying powers to simulate a consciousness for the grimm-dust cells that merged with my immortal ones, allowing the new mind to be absorbed and enhance my abilities over my own body. As for the demon and leaves, they have a different purpose, one that others thought wasn't needed when Salem arrived after a while with her flying gorilla and dragon fleet with a bit of native desert-type grim and migrating herds. When they came, using the satellite array and infinite powers of creation to create defences only made up in a child's imagination, also using Penny and her ice abilities to clear out and flatten desert mounds. Speaking of Penny, her soul project was mass-produced using those of a good nature, meanwhile, Penny became like the director or big sister to all the other androids with their cybernetic superpowers. Something that would be a massive help against Salem's latest onslaught of epic and never-ending hellfire and rattlesnakes. Eventually, Salem would be beaten and cornered where she would be sealed and imprisoned thanks to the combined efforts of everyone, making an overwhelming last-stand victory. But Salem's wishes wouldn't go unfulfilled and she would get to see part of what she wished for desperately, seeing the gods descend upon the world where they would be met with me. If you were properly reading by now, you would know I gave these gods PTSD once I showed my maddened face and gave them a roast about their failings as gods and abandonment of their creations before talking about the philosophies and sophistry for why humanity should live by mentioning everything, from our flaws to our cute quirks to our outstanding commitments. The gods would be made to seriously consider as they were buttered up by their shrines being decorated and freshly offered offerings. Finally, though, what would be the final straw is the tea which would have the leaves pushed into their mouths, bringing them back to the Tree for sorting, alls all that ends well

This is a question I've wanted to ask but I'm not sure if it fits here so please do tell me to remove it if it doesn't fit.
I'm a autistic guy whose dated a few women in the past. However every time I get into a relationship I find we have almost nothing in common. No interests, no similarities, nothing. The relationship often gets really Boring because of this and 90% of the time one has to compromise allot for the other. The only real benefit for me was the intimacy and being able to have sex, but other than that I don't really feel like there's much of a connection.
I made a post on a previous reddit account about this years ago only for people to downvote me and say "there are plenty of women out there that love star wars, video games, doctor who and other masculine interests." But if that really is the case then where the fuck are they then? I have never seen a girl interested in those things yet everyone on reddit seems to act like its super common and that im in the minority or something. It feels crazy to me because I have never seen a girl interested in those things. Well there was one, but it was only ever one girl which was honestly the best relationship I ever had, nothing else came close. I might be dumb for saying this, but since autistic women work differently to autistic men and try to copy their peers, is it possible that they fall into stereotypes allot more or something? I only date other people on the spectrum because we actually understand each other, my entire friend group is on the spectrum as well because there's actually understanding. I barely make friends with normal people so I have no idea if it's any different for them. But if I had to guess what the reason is for me never meeting girls interested in those things, it might be that autistic women fall into stereotypes more because they're copying others from a young age, that's what I think might be it. I don't want to sound sexist or anything, im genuinely trying not to be, but I can't think of another reason why it feels like I'm the only person In the world having this problem. Is it just pure bad luck?
It actually feels really lonely for me because I can never find anyone out there that's actually like me and shares the same interests I have. I've come to accept I might just have to be single by choice because there's no one out there I feel I can share my interests with. And having things in common is very important to me in a partner.
Am I alone in this? It feels like I'm the only person in the world going through this kind off problem and it really hurts me.
