2024.05.29 05:56 Papasmurf43469 Reccomendations for places to stay in Mexico with nightlife?

I'm turning 21 here in around 2 months and would love to celebrate it in Mexico so my friends(who aren't turning 21 for a while) can drink. After my preliminary research, everyone just says Cancun, but since we will be traveling from Oregon, travel times are too long and tickets are too expensive to get there. Does anyone know of any good places to go on the west side of Mexico? I don't need insane nightlife, just a place preferably by the beach that has some bars and is generally safe.

2024.05.29 05:54 FaithlessnessOdd1071 [lore spoilers] Hi! Anyone interested in roleplaying on Discord as Silco?

Hello, I'm looking for anyone potentially interested in roleplaying on Discord as Silco, opposite my female OC Rowan Starr, Piltovian and daughter of Senator Starr. She's about 28, absolutely hates how Piltover treats Zaunites and completely goes against her asshole father to advocate for their rights. Basically, she when she's 22 (Jinx is just adopted by Silco) she goes down to talk pictures and videos of conditions in Zaun and gets captured and taken to Silco by thugs hoping to get in his favor. But he sees her and is like "pretty little scared bird" and they talk and he realizes she's a good person.
He keeps kidnapping her for "ransom" for like six years and she's like "ugh again? Okay Jinx get out the checkers" and her Enforcer fiance always saves her, but Silco finds out he's abusing her and kills him and decides to just keep her. But not in a creepy way, in like a "i must protect my songbird" way
Anyway! If interested and 21+, please DM

Jordan’s Parallels
He has a thing for seeing his brides in their wedding dresses with no wedding. The fact that this can even be a real parallel is crazy. Man just turned 21 🤣

2024.05.29 05:48 WintryNymph Guy I was talking to for 2 weeks shamed me for my past and my SA ): would love support

TW: mention of SA
I apologise for the long post but I just need to get this off my chest
I (21F) was talking to a guy (21M) for about two weeks, we clicked really well and we had so many amazing conversations. We would talk for hours on end, even staying up until 3-4am. He was an amazing listener and really wanted to know about me and we talked about our childhood and I opened up about my past.
We had plans to go on a date irl this week. Well, last night we were discussing how crazy we were in high school, and he proceeds to say “I’m so glad you were a dork and not one of those girls who slept around.”
I proceeded to respond with “that’s true but I definitely made some bad decisions as a teen.” I thought I could say this because he said he really liked me and would never judge me and wanted to know everything about me.
He says “wait- you’ve slept with different guys in high school?” And I said yes, why does that matter? I’m 21 now, I was 16-17 then.
He said “welp there it is” and refused to elaborate what he meant.
I kept politely asking him to elaborate and speak in sentences because he started giving only 1 worded responses when I said I was confused what he meant. He then randomly goes “do you think you would make a good girlfriend then?” and I was utterly confused as to how random that question was.
He then said he lost instant attraction to me because of what “I did as a teenager” and I said that was pretty strange, that he would by bothered by what I did as a literal child in the past. He admitted it was a personal problem he had to work on, and I expressed the fact that i understood that, but I wish he let me know earlier on or at least was kinder in reaction.
Here’s where it gets worse. He proceeds to imply that I was throwing myself at boys for attention back then, and I explained, uncomfortably that I did what I did because I was sexually assaulted more than once and it was sort of a coping mechanism because I didn’t want to feel anything anymore.
He says “oh my ex was raped so I know what it’s like.”
And then he says, “well it doesn’t matter what your reasons were, it’s a turn-off and your actions still have consequences. And you still chose to do it when you had choices.”
At this point I was just… shocked.
Lastly, he said “my ego was huge” because I was defending myself and telling him that he’s out of line and being really disrespectful and hurtful considering I never even met him in real life, refused to agree / understand him.
He just kept calling my ego massive when I kept saying he’s being inappropriate and I’m shocked he would say something like that about a very sensitive topic considering how kind and understanding he had been in the past few weeks.
I don’t even know what to think. I’m just really sad. This was my first “real” connection in over a year with a guy and I was very excited to meet him and it ended like this.

2024.05.29 05:47 chronic_flower Partner open to therapy, what is the most effective option?

Really need advice im so lost and overwhelmed. I believe my parnter is narcissistic amoung other things. He was a walking red flag but here i am 8 years later. It got really bad after my daughter 2 years ago until i snapped end of last year then things improved in some ways. I feel sometimes he is actually trying to be better in his own way and genuinely wants to change but his way of thinking is too engrained. Though i can actually see some change and acknowledge his effort (the most he's ever shown), the core problems still persist and they are driving me to insanity. Trying to communicate with him is a mindfuck. He has zero self awareness (seriously think he must be stupid sometimes) or empathy for me. Everything is an argument and its like arguing with a toddler.
I havnt been putting up with his shit lately full stop and he knows im for real this time. I wont live my life suffering like this any longer. Having said that, he is now open to therapy again. (We've tried once before but that failed for many reasons). Im willing to give him one last chance to show true effort.
The responsibility is mine to find him therapy but i am so lost on what steps to even take to get him help and the best route for best results. If hes going to do it i want it to count this time and i dont want to turn him off on a bad experience. I got him to make a doctors appointment to ask for a referral to get a proper diagnosis. Do i wait for that first? Highly doubt he will be diagnosed as one as he is good at charming but he does have adhd, depression, anxiety and a lot of cluster b traits at the least. I think dbt would be helpful as he lacks total empathy. Is group or individual better? Are there websites out there that provide affordable ongoing therapy? We are only partially covered by insurance up to 10 sessions of therapy and our budget is tight.

2024.05.29 05:39 NeoHyper64 Arcade1Up won't build it, so I did... Soul Calibur XL is here!

Arcade1Up won't build it, so I did... Soul Calibur XL is here!
Some of you may have seen me drop hints here and there (or a full preview on the Super Gameroom Dudes), but 4 months later, I've finally finished my biggest Arcade1Up mod project to-date:
Arcade1Up NBA Jam Shaq XL is now... Soul Calibur XL!
There's a lot that went into this cab, and I basically built the entire thing 2 or 3 times over because of all the trial-and-error as I used new tools, tried new materials, got measurements wrong, etc. It was FAR more complicated than my prior NeoGeo build, but the results are better, too. Here is where I ended up with what went into this beast.
Cabinet ($600):
  • This started life as a standard Arcade1Up NBA Jam Shaq XL cabinet. I didn't want that game, only the shell. So, I only assembled the frame of it.
Control Panel:
  • The 4-player deck was replaced with a fully custom 2-player deck of my own design. I started with a sloped, Midway-style design, but the angle wasn't comfortable for my height (I'm 6'2"), so I settled on a raised, flat design that felt much better. The whole thing is made of melamine-coated half-inch plywood, so it's super strong.
  • The entire deck slides over the factory frame, and re-uses a modified version of the Shaq XL sub-frame to provide full support from below. I also re-used the factory "shelf" with some adjustments (used spacers to make it higher, and moved the mounting poins out to the sides to allow more room for controls and wiring).
  • There's a piano hinge on the back that allows the deck to open so the joystick and button wiring can be accessed. There's also a wireless keyboard in case the PC needs to be controlled.
  • The top features an acrylic panel that was a bugger to measure and cut, but I finally got a version that's about 1/16-1/32" accurate in every dimension. It also attaches to the deck with 4 bolts, just like the Arcade1Up versions (though it's not strictly necessary, because unlike A1U plexi, I put the panel under the button surrounds like real arcades would do).
Art ($300):
  • I contacted several graphics vendors, but some never responded, and others didn't have any Shaq templates and didn't seem to want to get involved. But I'd used Escape Pod in the past with good results, and they had a Shaq template. They also had a Soul Calibur design they had used for a full-size cab. So, we collaborated, and they produced the custom art package that made this happen, including marquee with plexi, side panels, kick panel, and the entire control panel. They're great!
Monitor ($100), Mount + Bezel ($108):
  • Dell 20" 2007fpb 4:3 monitor came from eBay. It only has a DVI input for digital. Everything was de-cased, and the controls were screwed into the back. It's a great looking monitor!
  • Of course, Shaq comes with a crap 19" monitor, so the Dell is a definite upgrade, but not a 1:1 fit. So, I contacted Gus from Karv Design on Etsy, who had done work on my NeoGeo build, and he came through. He had never done a Shaq cab before, but I gave him the exact dimensions and he custom-built a monitor mount, and black acrylic bezel. I messed a few things, but his stuff was spot on! Can't recommend him highly enough!
Audio ($166):
  • Dayton Audio KAB-2150 2x150w Class D Amp ($30) and power supply ($35)
  • Visaton 3.3" speakers ($30) and grills ($11)
  • Powered subwoofer ($90)... this makes such a difference it's not even funny
  • I wanted a "stock" look with the audio and not get into making a custom panel, so I stuck with the same size speakers, but much better quality and power handling. The amplifier is admittedly overpowered for this project, but it had two, important features that were surprsingly hard to find: external controls AND a dedicated subwoofer output. This had both!
Controls ($86):
  • Industrias Lorenzo Eurostick (x2) ($34 total)
  • Happ Competition Pushbuttons (x16) ($34 total)
  • Easyget (Dragonrise) Zero Delay Encoders ($18)
  • I went through probably dozens of combinations of buttons and switches and ended up with something that has a shorter through and minimal click. I wanted a fast response. For the joysticks, I never considered anything other than ILs.
Games ($162):
  • I started with a Raspberry Pi 5, which WAS capable of running Soul Calibur I and II, but it was finnicky. The controllers would randomly disconnect, AND it has a stupid design that lacks an audio out, so I had to pickup an HDMI audio/video splitter that ended up not outputting the video signal accurately and decreased the audio out level significantly. It also added several extra wires. The Pi setup was a total PITA that cost me nearly $200 with everything it needed (board, case, cables, splitter, power supply, etc.).
  • SO... when DIY Retro Arcade started offering the pre-built Core i5 computer with "no junk" Batocera 38 build ($162), I jumped. And boy, was it worth it! The i5 is so much more capable, not to mention STABLE, and getting rid of the HDMI splitter reduced cable clutter AND improved the audio quality significantly! The Batocera build is really good, too! No junk, and lots of good stuff (yes, every Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, KI, NeoGeo, and other fighting game). This really makes the system.
Special ($152):
  • Faux Coin Door from Arcade1Up ($20)
  • Coin Door Lights from RETRO 530 ($21)
  • Isobar Surge Protector w/ Switch ($105)
  • Control Panel Hinge ($22)
  • LED Strip Light ($6)
Other Materials ($418+):
  • PVC Edge Banding ($20)
  • Melamine Edge Banding ($20)
  • Hand Roller ($9)
  • Side Edge Trimmer ($33)
  • Flush Cut Trimmers ($18)
  • Super 77 Adhesive ($12)
  • Planar Knives ($16)
  • Weatherstripping ($7)
  • L-Brackets ($12)
  • DP to DVI Cable ($12)
  • 12v Power Supply ($9)
  • Various bits, blades, screws, and tools (picked up here and there)... oh, and WOOD! Experimented with lots of MDF, melamine, and acryclic ($250+).
  • And many, many things I ended up not using (t-molding, Pi 5, arcade-spec power supply, lots of buttons, etc.)
Tools (N/A):
  • Some of these tools I had on hand, some I inherited, some I bought. But I used a lot of different stuff... table saw, radial-arm saw, jigsaw, circular saw, drill press, heat gun, iron, hand roller, T-squares, speed square, hand drill, power sander, drill driver, various clamps, X-acto knives, squeegee, various screwdrivers, hammer, tape measures, shop-vac, etc.
TOTAL COST: $2,092 (excluding most tools and everything I bought that didn't get used, or that was thrown out, etc.)

Would it have to cost this much? No. I'm not a woodworker or craftsperson, but I am a perfectionist. So, the two things combined meant everything took longer and cost more than it probably should. But I also don't think you could legitimately do this build for anything less than a grand, unless you happen to have everything you need sitting around (including a PC and monitor) and can get cheap art, etc. All told, it probably cost me at least $2,500 if I include things that didn't make it into the final product.
So, wouldn't it be better to just buy the real thing? That isn't the point. This is "built not bought" kind of thing. I wanted to see what I could do. And I wanted to prove what an XL could be... I think this did both. And I've owned a real arcade machine... tt was heavy, huge, and finnicky. Not again. And either way, good luck finding an original Soul Calibur machine. They weren't made in large numbers.
Why not just build your own? I could, but that also wasn't the point. Building from scratch is a whole other endeavor, whereas using an Arcade1Up means it "inherently" has Arcade1Up-style dimensions and will fit in with my other cabinets. I also just wanted to do something in the XL size.
Why Soul Calibur? It's a legit awesome game. It has a Metacritic score of 98, making it one of the highest scoring games of all time across all platforms and consoles. And it's easy for anyone to start playing. I have lots of fond memories playing on the Dreamcast, but with its very limited arcade exposure, there's less-than-zero chance Arcade1Up will ever make the game.
Why use the Dreamcast version instead of the arcade game? Surprisingly, Soul Calibur originally ran on Namco System 12 hardware, which was an upgrade of the Namco System 11 hardware that itself was based loosely on the original Playstation 1 hardware design. That meant the arcade version of Soul Calibur was actually worse than the Dreamcast version of the game that followed a year later. The Dreamcast version added better visuals and 3D backgrounds, along with a whole bunch of extra features. This was reported to be the first time a console game performed better than the arcade version upon which it was based.
Would you do it again? No, and also no. I proved it was possible and built the game I wanted in the way I wanted. And it plays great and looks cool. But it cost too much time and money. I learned a lot, and that was invaluable, so I recommend it on that level. Practically speaking, however, there's really no justification to do something like this again unless the market just completely fails to produce the products we want.
Anyway, thanks to anyone who made it this far. I have a lot more pics and some video, and am happy to answer any questions. I also want to thank all of the vendors who helped make this happen, as well as the kind words from PDubs and other supporters along the way.
So, now it's your turn, Arcade1Up... bring us the XLs!

From Shaq to the Legend That Will Never Die!

Yes, that's actually a light under the control deck illumuninating downward.

The edge banding on the control panel mirrors the factory A1U edge banding.

Yes, the entire control panel lifts up to access the controls!

The top panel has audio controls, lighting control, and a master power switch.

Behind the marquee is a powerful amp, upgraded speakers, and full tone controls.

Yep, those are Happ ILs (and that's a piano hinge across the back).

The full back section, complete with acoustic stuffing up top and a subwoofer down below. That's a custom shelf for the PC, too.

A look inside showing inside the control panel from the back.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!

2024.05.29 05:34 lee59 [FpM4F] Dark yet glittering vintage spy movie vibes, anyone?

Picture a glamorous Mediterranean port city, awash with wealth. A rich American girl, just arrived with her father on his yacht, out partying with a gaggle of recently acquired friends, meets a handsome and mysterious stranger at a club. They get along famously, but fate intervenes before they can truly get to know each other- in the form of the stranger's nameless work calling him away.
The very next night, fate brings them back together again, when she finds him bleeding in an alleyway.
He has to tell her something, just enough to keep her from running to call the ambulance. He's been undercover, and tonight that cover was nearly blown. If the people he's been working with find him in this state- and that includes finding him in the hospital- everything he's been working towards, his entire operation, it will all fall apart. Better if she just walks away and forgets she ever saw him.
She can accept all of that except for the last part. Maybe it's her conscience, or her attraction to him, or a selfish thirst for adventure, or all three; she can't see any reason why he shouldn't come back to her yacht instead. She has three entire rooms all to herself, almost an entire wing. He'll be safe.
Maybe it's the blood loss, or his attraction to her, or a selfish desire not to die; he finds himself being convinced much more easily than usual.
All of a sudden she's mixed up in something much bigger- and much closer to home- than she could have imagined...
~~~
Hey all! I'm Lee, and I'm looking for someone of a similar roleplaying type to myself, to play the brave, clever, and slightly naive heroine of a movie-inspired spy story! That is, I'm looking for a multi-paragraph writer (not novella!), who writes on discord, is over 21 and doesn't mind waits for replies- we've both got IRL lives to live, after all!
I've got lots of potential twists and turns in mind for this story, but also a lot that's currently open to be decided, so you'll be able to contribute to the plot as well. Like the title said, it's going to have vintage vibes (I've watched a lot of 1960s spy moves!), only because modern settings just don't do it for me! Cellphones, internet, instant communication- they just spoil the fun. What I'm aiming for is the aesthetic and general technology level of the 60s, but not too nitpicky about specific historical details.
Expect- drama, action, intrigue, hurt/comfort, romance, excitement, a good balance of grit and glamoudarkness and light.
Send me a message if you're interested! Please be sure and make it clear that you read through the entire post- if it's obvious that you didn't, I won't answer.

2024.05.29 05:32 AriaMoonriser Boomer got handsy at the grocery store

I will start by saying that I realize this lady was just trying to be friendly and felt awful but still...
This morning I was in the grocery store with my 11m daughter. She has red curly hair which already seems to be old lady cat nip, they feel the need to talk to us everywhere we go. And I mean EVERYWHERE. I digress, babygirl and I are shopping and minding our own business when a little old lady comes up to us and starts talking to me through my daughter (which already drives me crazy) "well aren't you so cute. How old are you? Look at that pretty red hair! Who did you get that red hair from? Does your dad have red hair?" I answer the questions, just trying to be nice, and the lady then turns to me. She then gasps puts both hands on my belly and says "OH! And it looks like you are going to be a big sister soon!" (Again talking to my not even 1 year old daughter) to which I responded "Um, no, I'm not pregnant. Just haven't lost the baby pooch." She was absolutely mortified, apologized profusely. I have to admit it was pretty funny the more I thought about it and I just hope the memory keeps her from touching strangers in the future.

2024.05.29 05:27 Positive-Light-7032 AITA/ Bridezilla - For standing up for my happiness n not allowing my siblings/ family and friends ruin our day.

Please bare with me as this will be a long one, it's my first ever post on reddit.
TW of child loss.
I (32f) my FH (35m) are getting married august this year. We live in Australia in a different state to both sides of our family. As we thought instead of picking between the two states we are from, we will have it where we are now.
History as I know all you lot love the background stories. We met in 2019, through tinder(in the state we currently both are atm). It was love at first sight for me. I already had a son who in 2019 was 8yo. My son adorned my partner, he would talk about future siblings and us getting married. Which led my partner n I picking wedding songs and talking about marriage. In 2021 my partner n I were a bit rocky. But my world came crashing apart when I got a phone call my son passed in a car crash. I flew back to my home state and well as you can imagine I was a mess. My family which I hadn't spoken to in 4 years due to being accused for something I did not do. They found out I didn't. But long story short I was in the head space to nit pick. My sons funeral happened and well I just got left by all my siblings to do the clean up my self while they went to the after do. I missed it. I'm only one person and I got blamed and made to feel like crap for it. And a lot other shit. In other words three of my siblings are arseholes. If they dont get their way. My sister we'll call her Petal(24), brothers Steve (31) n Bob (27).
My partner n I always stayed in contact but we spilt as he was still in the state we met. His boss wouldn't let him take time off etc. In the beginning 2023 I came back to the state to organise my sons stuff. Realising this man kept everything of his and mine in the same spot. He still looked after my cat n dog after all that time also. We rekindled and both realised the flame was always still there for each other. So by September last year we were ready to move forward with life as short as it is announce to our family's save the dates. Via Txt as we both have huge families, we would save the money this way.
A few weeks go by. I get a phone call from Steve. (Whom I havent spoken to since before coming up here as I had enough of always being cancelled on or never picking up my calls or barely responding to my texts) So I was like why am I getting a call. Turns out I just got questions after questions... well statements 'you never asked me to move' 'mum will be staying with me not you on your wedding' 'im not babysitting joey' youngest brother 12yo we I stated he would be other brother Dale (second youngest 21- they are all my siblings from my mother's side) as they are always together when Dale visits. I just focused on the positive. I knew he was wanting me to bite. Then when I was explaining joey would be walking behind my nieces with my sons photo Steve interrupted when are you getting married and laughed. He then said no, His daughter wasn't going to be wearing a dress she'll be wearing the same as her dad... and laughed. at the beginning of his save the date I put 'Aunty would love niece to be a flower girl if she would like' Remember no contact since this phone call at all. So I thought he was joking as he laughed. He then started repeating she was wearing the same as him. He also asked why would joey be following them and as I was explaining what I was thinking as my son would've wanted his cousins up there with him. I got cut off. I just planned all this and I said no I asked and you never responded. You never said no even when I spoke about the dresses. Apparently I just don't know what no sounds like and I've not changed and she is HIS flower girl for when him and his partner get married. I understand wanting your child to be apart of your wedding.... hence why I was trying to do what I know damn sure my boy would have done - to the point if they weren't in the party he would walk up to them n get them to help throw petal down the isle. I was upset. He rambled on and yelled shit at me and hung up when I said well if you didn't want her being a flower girl you could've just said it straight out.
I am still upset but I'm only upset due to he only brought it up when I was talking about what my son would want. If he had a problem with it why didn't he say it before hand. Later mum(51) found out him n his partner were upset I was getting married before them ( they have been engaged since 2021 and no mention of a wedding date) and they didn't want their daughter being someone else's flower girl before hand. Which again I understand so why not say that instead of starting the shit?
The next day Bob decided to tell me he couldn't come to the wedding as he doesn't know what his life would bring him to be doing then 🤦🏼‍♀️
Anyway I start to move forward with wedding planning . I let a friend know, as i was going to ask her to be a Bm. After saying getting married she bloody laughed so hard like i told the most funniest joke ever.... her daughter came in she is still laughing n said ' can you believe they are getting married' while wiping away tears from her eyes she laughed so hard. So I decided not to mention the bm part. She later started telling me what I should do for colours, who the bms should be, that the best man wears something different to the groomsmen. Etc. It was getting out of hand and everytime I mentioned we had decided what we are doing already is was wrong .... until she decided to make a competition with my unaware mother 'she better wear a dress or ill look better then her. Maybe even you' so I cut her out of my social group, my partner still thinks she was just helping. He needs the fog to clear.
I ask my best friend who I have known since 2017 and who was still there for me through the hard time of my son passing and still is to this day. Kel(43f) to be my MOH. My two sisters Petal n Kay(28f on father's side) as bridesmaids. As iTs tHe rIgHt tHiNg to do 🤦🏼‍♀️ at first I thought petal would flake first. If it's not her way she'll make some sort of version (even if it's LIES) that you did her wrong. I picked the dresses they were more then happy to pay for them. $160 ish each(aus). Well Kay went Mia for a few weeks. Then in January this year asked me if the place accepted afterpay. I said I know they accept Kalana or what ever its called. N then she was busting her arse for me to check.... she had the website I asked if she had her flights and accommodation prebooked. Nothing. As I was going to offer to pay for the dress if she was struggling. So I offered for her to come as a guest. 2 weeks NOT A SINGLE WORD. Not answering my calls or texts that wasn't even about the wedding. Its now Feb. I ask my cousin to be a back BM she was more then happy n as I was on the phone to her Kay said ' im getting a job so it'll be all sorted' now Kay is a sister who will take advantage for other people's hand outs. Where we are the closer to august you leave it your looking at 1600 n back minimum. N the week we are getting married not only with it be tourist session but race day also ( we forgot about race day 😅) After explaining this to her she decided with many more weeks in between she'll not come to the wedding at all.
So then it was my BF, petal and cousin.
Two weeks ago I got asked by my fathers (he is a dead beat) sister if he was invited. Long story short, I'm the child he never wanted. He never met my son at all while he was alive and loves to cause drama when it's not about him. He was a junkie when I first met him. So I politely said sorry no he is not and sorry for putting you in this position.
Just up until last week petal flaked. Family drama was happening and I pulled her up on her lies she had put in a group chat. She hadn't spoken to me since May. She would read the wedding chat but not respond. And I found out she had me on mute. Laste week I messaged her on the group chat, our private chat and text her can you aleast let me know whats going on. She came back with ' im not coming nor will I be in your wedding' I thanked her for letting me know. Went in the group chat for the wedding n she had already removed herself. N I blocked her shortly after my mum called. Mum had asked if I had heard from Petal. I told her what happened. Well, mum Being a mum was like 'ill get to the bottom of this' She asked why are you not part of the wedding anymore. My sister turned n said its not of your business. N then said I blocked her from the chat a while ago and I have not once messaged her n I'm mean. Mum caught her out n said she seen her lil picture keep up with the messaged just today etc. N she just banged on how no one understands her. So I blocked her.
I have now asked for my partners Sister to be a bm and she's more then happy to and I paid for her dress straight away so it should arrive to her before she is due to come up.
I found out in April my son will finally be a older brother like he always wanted. This is a miracle baby as I've had a few health problems with my uterus. To the point doctors said I might not even be able to do IVF. My partner n I are over the moon. I am in a a place where I'm happy and upset because my son is not here to witness what he always wanted. We have only told those that have been supportive, mu mum Dale and joey and my Sil.
All the stress of just my family has taken its toll. We have already paid majority of the wedding off and can't elope. I've lost all happiness for our day. I'm scared my father will rock up (he is spiteful like that) n im just deflated. With the add stress of being now 12weeks pregnant and still worried I could lose it at any point.
I have gotten all their jewellery, personalised pjs since Kay was involved. Personalised gifts and im paying for their hair and make up.
Kel my Moh is ready to go on a witch hunt. She's pissed that I have let it all go on for so long. So I'm trying to see if I am in the right or if I am in the wrong.
Am I being the Arsehole ? Bridezilla? Just feels no matter what happens in my life it's not good enough. If anything needs clearing up please let me know. Sorry for the long post. Thankyou in advance And if anyone has any advice ? Thankyou

2024.05.29 05:26 Realistic_Many_950 Going on 10 years with the stalker

So this is my story , I honestly need advice and for someone to understand me. Here goes nothing ! Back in 2013 I was in a relationship with a guy (Jake ) & he had a child’s mother ( Layla ) . At first I was cordial with Layla because Jake lived with me. However Jake turned out to be a HUGE whore. Well more of a bum . So a bummy whore. Layla wanted her family with him which I understood however he was my boyfriend. She would use the baby to get him to be with her while I was at work. Layla would purposefully post like they were in a relationship knowing that he lived with me . I would attempt to break up with him , he would just beg and tell me lies. I was 20 and stupid. I stayed until one day I was fed up of the back and forth and explained to Jake I was done with the back and forth between Layla & I. At that moment he put a play in action to get me pregnant. He succeeded. I was completely mortified at the fact I was now stuck with this situation. When I posted my pregnancy my car window was busted out . This is where the stalking started. I noticed every hair style I wore she would copy & the outfits , my poses for pictures. Even vacations I took with my kids . I found messages between Layla & Jake . She asked him “what is it about Sophie? That you won’t leave her alone.” My mind was blown that’s not normal for me . After I left Jake for good it didn’t matter . Layla & her friends would watch all of my social media platforms. They constantly bullied me online . Called my phone and told me they hoped my baby would be mentally challenged. Layla had her brother shoot at my new car. She told people she would come to the hospital and punch me off of the hospital bed after I gave birth. The whole time this is taking place . She’s filing restraining orders on me lying to the police trying to have me put in jail. I moved 45 minutes away to get some peace. However that didn’t last they couldn’t physically drive past my house but used social media to harass me. Any guy I was seen with Layla tried to date or even sleep with. I started dating another guy and thought I was free aside from the shade being thrown on the internet. Well that didn’t last for long because once the new guy Rick’s ex Patty caught wind they became a task force bullying me everyday. I had moved back to my town however no one knew where. One day I got fed up and beat Patty up & took her phone 🫣. What I found inside was messages talking about me , pictures of me & my house. Talking about my children and trying to get me fired from my job . Layla was telling Patty my phone number . They said they were going to bully me until I unalived myself. I broke it off with Rick after the gang came to my house and busted my windows out !
I moved on & got pregnant. I thought it was over until one day I realized it wasn’t. Layla at this point spent 6 years studying my online persona. She would tell anyone she meets I’m obsessed with her while she talked , dressed & acted like me. I gained so much weight that I got a butt she went and bought one. Layla moved 10 blocks away from me & then proceeded to move her business 5 minutes away from my house . I started seeing her a the local stores & she would pull up to the pump next to me & sit in her car watching me. After doing this 7 times & reaching out to my mother who I have no relationship with . I was served with a restraining order. I went to court & she admitted in open court that in the last year i did none of the things she stated in the paperwork which got me served in the first place . The cases was dismissed. This happened in 2023 . In 2024 , 7 months later she text me asking to meet up to talk . I did thinking finally she is ready to be an adult & let this shit go ! I was WRONG AF ! She told me I was obsessed with her and I’m crazy ! She said you think about me so much your business wouldn’t be failing if you stopped caring about me . Layla then stated she doesn’t think Is “Sophie wearing panties or a bra.” She brought up my kids and how I’m struggling. Said that she wants to know what wrong with me & “are you in a competition with me”. Brought up my daughter who she’s never seen or met in real life. She knew me & my daughter’s dad wasn’t together.
I don’t want to keep going because it’s way more ! I am scared because how long does it take for someone to move on ! Advice please!!!

2024.05.29 05:26 nightmare_purp The intruder

Creakkk! I looked up and saw my daughter descending the stairs, her face dropped when she realized how loud the floor boards were below her feet. She’s holding up her shirt up using it to hold all her most valuable goods. I hear a door up stairs slam shut. She runs down the stairs clearly terrified of the man upstairs, she doesn’t care how loud her feet are anymore.
We hide inside a closet and make sure we have everything we need, phones, expensive jewelry, the extremely valuable pure breed dog my daughter is obsessed with, and most importantly the car keys.
From outside the door I hear the man trudging around aggressively, I peak out the keyhole and see what he’s holding, a large shotgun ready and loaded. I hold my daughter’s head to my chest, oh what would I do if this crazy man hurt my daughter. She’s only six, she doesn’t deserve this. It’s my fault she is in this position but I try to convince myself it isn’t.
I hear the man round the corner and we make a break for it, straight out the back door around the side of the house and to the car. We get in and start it up, zooming away in the brand new Mercedes. I am so glad to get away from the scary man. Just as I think we are free of him and start deciding where we should go from here. I hear the sound… the loud alarms trailing around the corner of a nearby street. I try to turn the car around and find a new escape route but it’s too late… red and blue lights surround my vision. How is it that I got caught? What will they do with my daughter? It’s not fair that he can own things like this car and she hasn’t eaten all day. How am I the one breaking the law?

For anyone curious, this is only Ascension 17, I'm trying to get to 20 before the second game comes out!

2024.05.29 05:16 CrazyTurk420 Ultimate Game Pass and Family sharing on PC GamePass

Hey Everyone, My daughter turned 8 and has been getting more and more into playing games on her PC. She saw some videos of Little Kitty Big City and really wanted to play it. I installed Xbox on her PC, I logged in and then she played under my account. Then I got the itch to play it too, no biggie, I'll use the extra save spot... Now we have run into the issue that I want to play but can't because she is. I know with actual XBox, you can share your game pass and games with family memebers (tho I don't know how exactly). However, we don't have any current generation xbox as I play my games on my PC instead. Is there a way to still share game pass with her? Would we be able to play at the same time? I'm sorry, I'm sure the answers are buried in this sub somewhere, but all I'm finding is Xbox related stuff (Console)

2024.05.29 05:15 PixelScribe02 I was in my first accident and I feel like a bad person

I 21 M was driving back from my first day of a summer course that I am taking at a local community college where I live. After class I got some tacos at a place near campus and they were great. Driving back to my place was busy but I wasn't worried about it The exit I usually get off at was having lots of construction and lights and cones and I looked down at my phone cause an alert went of and I slammed into the person in-front of me. My steering wheel and near the pedals airbag went off. I feel horrible, I started crying when I realized it was a lady who was older and probably a grandma and I just kept thinking about what if it was my grandma in the car who got in an accident. Thankfully I only dented her car and my car took the brunt of it. I feel so stupid, I know not to look at my phone and I looked down for a second and I hit her. Also I'm not used to driving in rush hour traffick and the bridge off the exit is getting fixed so its only a one way at the moment which meant that there were a good ammount of cars on the exit ramp. I feel like a crappy person I was working at a job that I needed to drive too and now am going to hopefully get a job thats close to me so I don't burden my family with driving me to work. I am never going to have my phone on in the car its going to be turned off and in my glovebox.

Fallout 4 Load Order Help me stop the stuttering
This is my load order I had posted a couple of months ago before the update. I’ve downloaded the same load order and now my game stutters badly when entering a new area. This load order was working perfectly before the update. I need help identifying potential mods in my load order that may be causing that. This was a zero crash load order and I loved it took me a while to perfect it. The last mod I replaced with the current Next Gen Ultra settings mod. I play on Series X

2024.05.29 05:10 AgitatedSite2952 AITA for moving out of my sisters?

Hi, I’m F(17) I have a little sister who’s F (15). So little back story me and my little sister agreed to babysit my niece who was 3 months at the time while my older sister worked, she’s 21 but was 19 at the time that was two years ago. We started babysitting her more instead of it being a few days it would end up being weeks, months, years of us constantly babysitting our niece cleaning up after them doing stuff for her that she wouldn’t have time to do around the house or with her daughter.. I taught her daughter how to walk! Well, she thought it was a brilliant idea for us to move an hour away from our mother and move in with her in a different city to watch her daughter but that caused us to slowly start failing school and we got homeschooled to help watch her baby and never had time to do it. We have missed two years of school and I brought this up to her a million times that this is a problem and we really need to go back to school but she’s more worried about us watching her daughter. Well, we got in a big argument a few days ago and she said that we don’t do anything for her, even though we watch her kid, clean up after her and I take care of her animal on top of taking care of mine! Well, she yelled at me and told me that we should just move out because we don’t do sh!t for her.. and I told her good luck finding a babysitter when we leave because even though her baby daddy does watch my niece sometimes during the weekend she works during the weekdays and she’s always complaining about bringing her down there because of gas money so I went to a family event this weekend and they said they could help us move out and since I do have my license and a car, I’m going to slowly move stuff back into my mom‘s house.. well my sister got mad at me when she found out that we were moving out she said wouldn’t have help anymore taking care of her daughter but claims we don’t watch her and don’t do anything for her, so truly AITAH for putting me and my little sisters education and own lives first?

2024.05.29 05:09 General_Ad_2265 RIP Prince Hans

RIP Prince Hans
It all started when my daughter wanted a pet fish. I did my research, cycled my tank for few weeks before getting our first betta, Prince Hans. I have a cabinet full of whatever’s needed for a tank and also standby of medications. The first day i got him, his fins were so frayed and he was almost black. Was surprised he turned into such a bright majestic red. Treated him for ick and fin rot but sadly i was only able to give him the best in 2 months.
I have depression and insomnia. Nights where i have so much thoughts in my head, i’d find myself staring at the tank. Watching him getting excited from my presence. Watching him was healing for me. Thank you Prince Hans ❤️

I’ve been a hodler since 21’ with XXX shares. I’m seeing the sub talk a lot about this WuTang album and now this could be a dividend to shareholders. While I understand this would require all shares to be located, how does this provide tendies for us shareholders? This has turned into such a long term play, and I absolutely love this stock. Just trying to grasp a better understanding, incase this does become reality! Thanks fellow apes!
