2024.05.16 14:12 MoonbeamGlitterx Rashes off and on for 4 years, gotten progressively worse
 | It all started with pic one, a rash on my upper left side of my chest. This eventually progressed into spots on my legs, my armpits, upper abdomen, lower pelvic area, other side of my chest, and both my upper arms. It itches terribly. Currently, I have it on both sides of my chest, and upper arms (arms are hard to see because of tattoos, but I itch and can feel how bumpy it is). Pic 2 is same side of my chest, currently. submitted by MoonbeamGlitterx to DermatologyQuestions [link] [comments] Dermatologist decided to biopsy a rash one time. The only visible one I had at the time was on my wrist. I said it was probably from my smart watch, not a regular rash. They biopsied that anyway, and of course nothing of substance came back. I always have elevated CRP when I go to my Rheum. I don't test positive for any specific autoimmune disease, but I do get a positive ANA with speckled pattern. Vitamin D deficient, regardless of how many vitamins I take. (Been prescribed high doses, still barely budged). I'm really at a loss at this point, maybe I should demand another biopsy? Steroid cream only sometimes helps. I wish it was consistent. The only thing that has ever made them completely go away, are oral steroids. Which make me feel awful after I finish a round and make my chest pain/heart palpation issues worse. Any ideas at all? Should I try to push for another biopsy? Never in my life until that first picture rash in 2020 did k have issues with rashes. Now it's been a constant battle. I've changed my diet, I use skin sensitive detergent, I try my absolute hardest to keep my skin lotioned and hydrated. I just don't know at this point. |
2024.05.16 14:11 Sparks632856 I'm so dumb šš
So basically my situationship of 2 years ended in dedember. Few breadcrumbs from her followed by coldness unfortunately we were both taken and worked together we started liking each other alot and didn't mean for it to happen but we never overstepped or did anything together. We did admit feelings and said we wanted to be together. As soon as this happened it was almost lime she flipped a switch, she struggled with vulnerability and self loathing etc (the first time I'd ever known anybody like it)
I am now healed i feel great and ive made alot of changes in my life but the other day I noticed she had unblocked me on spotify. All her songs and playlists were songs of heartbroken and wanting a lover to return etc. I left it for a day or 2 didn't see any updates. I then followed her and she instantly for 4 days straight uploaded song after song of being heart broken etc.
I do still care for her which I shouldn't but I'm also very happy in myself that nothing she says bothers me anymore so I messaged her asking if she's ok she seemed nice but stressed.
Then she messaged me saying "I'm all good, enjoy your day" followed by pretty pointless is my middle name" so I asked her why that's her middle name and just said look if you want to talk about it I will listen if not it's cool.
I would of gave her another chance stupidly because she was literally the most incredible woman I'd met until she flipped the switch simply because I said we either need to stop or end things with our partners and move forward with each other.
To be honest unblocking me and having playlists of being heartbroken and wishing their person would come back I kind of thought is it me but after reaching out I'm more thinking either it is but she won't be vulnerable and admit it or it's about another which could also be true I got the while speech ages ago she isn't like that she didn't mean for us to fall for each other but more than likely she does it alot for the attention while being taken.
In otherwords I was dumb but I don't feel bothered by it I've accepted the woman I fell hard for over that year and 8 months doesn't exist anymore from that point a totally different version of herself who is no longer happily and bubbly and loving etc who is always depressed and missing her grandad everyday is all that's left who's conquest is to make sure shes never owned by a man (wierd I know).
Basically I'm only writing this to let people know even after almost 6 months of breakup they still drop breadcrumbs and 90 percent of the time the breadcrumbs make no sense because they don't have any good intentions by them so trust me heal yourself then it becomes easy I feel great now even with the negativity from her but this time a few months back if she had done that I would of sunk into a hole of confusion and sadness over her.

2024.05.16 14:11 TheDogIsGod Fastening a wood top to a cast iron frame
 | Fastening a top to a cast-iron frame submitted by TheDogIsGod to BeginnerWoodWorking [link] [comments] These hunks of wood and steel could speak a thousand words, but Iāll try to keep it concise. The first two pictures are of a Frankensteinās monster of a project- a ābutcher-blockā style slab that my mother-in-law bought me when we first moved in (not sure what kind of wood, Iād love if someone could ID). It cupped significantly, leading me to rip it into 3 pieces, flatten them, and glue back together. The bevel was done with a chamfer router bit on the corner, and then a lot of hand-planing to make it bigger. There was also a big crack down the middle, leading me to try out my first ever bowtie joint. I filled in all the imperfections and knots with a slow-cure epoxy, sanded, and used water-based poly on the top and sides. Thatās where I am now, a year later. All of the flaws stand out to me like a journal of learned lessons. I love it. The next to pictures are of an even older project- an old cast iron(?) frame that was used in the early 1900ās as a stand for a heavy-duty clothes ironing machine (photo #5 is an old advertisement we found on eBay for it). It was rusted a bit and I paid a local fabric shop to blast and repaint it with epoxy. Wild stuff. Now, finally, I want to combine them into a desk. The problem is that there isnāt much play for expansion in the 4 mounting slots on the metal frame in the direction that really matters. The other concern is weight- the frame is VERY heavy. If someone were to slightly lift it to move the desk around, I donāt want the top to rip off. I may be overthinking it, but it seems that I may need some transitional frame between the frame and the slab. I was considering using some slotted channels for stability and drilling some extra holes in them for fastening to the metal frame. Would love any kind of feedback. This has been a long, interesting journey and Iād love to finish off strong. |
2024.05.16 14:10 Then_Marionberry_259 MAY 16, 2024 FPX.V FPX NICKEL PUBLISHES INAUGURAL SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
 | https://preview.redd.it/y42dgvcx4s0d1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=b5fe75427e68995cbb3a8175897639c2ff97214a submitted by Then_Marionberry_259 to Treaty_Creek [link] [comments] VANCOUVER, BC , May 16, 2024 /CNW/ - FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) (" FPX Nickel " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce the publication of its first and foundational Sustainability Report (the " Report "). The Report covers the period from 2021 to the present, a pivotal phase of Company growth and advancement of the flagship Baptiste Nickel Project (" Baptiste " or " the Project "). To align with escalating project development efforts during this period, FPX Nickel initiated an internal assessment of the Company's Environmental, Social, and Governance (" ESG ") performance in early 2022. The Report reflects the results of this assessment and provides an introduction to the sustainability initiatives FPX Nickel has implemented to date, as well as the commitments the Company has made for 2024. The Report was prepared using the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as a framework to report on the Company's business and sustainability initiatives. The topic areas within the Report were defined based on the Company's purpose, mission, and core values, which will continue to guide our sustainability initiatives going forward:
Report Highlights Environmental : Our Opportunity to Play a Role in Addressing Climate Change Nickel is an important material for our society, necessary for the fabrication of stainless steel and electric vehicle batteries, and has been identified by Canada and other nations as essential to the transition to renewable energy technologies. We recognize that FPX Nickel and, in particular, the Baptiste Nickel Project have an important part to play in responsible sourcing of critical minerals and the transition to a low carbon economy. The Baptiste Nickel Project represents a multi-generational opportunity to develop a mine that will produce very low-carbon nickel, estimated to be in the lowest decile of global nickel produced today. This fundamental opportunity to play a role in addressing climate change represents both the purpose and mission of our company FPX Nickel, and the Baptiste Nickel Project. Social: Our Commitment to Working Together to Define the Project The present moment marks a generational opportunity for the mining industry, as we see a growing focus on the need for secure and responsible sourcing of critical minerals. This includes the significant opportunity for Indigenous leadership and direct participation in major projects, such as the Baptiste Nickel Project. As we step towards this goal together, FPX is committed to establishing collaborative decision-making processes with First Nation communities to define the Baptiste Nickel Project together. Creating and supporting the space for this collaboration is a core focus of the Social pillar of the Company's Sustainability program. Governance : Demonstrating Our Values Through Our Actions Through our commitment to strong board and operational governance, FPX Nickel seeks to contribute to accountable institutions in Canada and to continue to be a leader for junior mining companies. This has included establishment of the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee within the Board of Directors, establishment of the Company's Sustainability department, implementation of new corporate policies, and broadening of professional experience and perspectives within the Board. Our Path Forward In 2024, FPX Nickel will conduct an independent materiality assessment to seek to integrate feedback from First Nations Rights Holders, local communities, corporate shareholders, and downstream nickel users. This assessment will form the basis for future sustainability reporting, ensuring that the standards we adhere to, and the content of our reporting, align with the key focus areas identified by these significant groups.

2024.05.16 14:09 FerdinalEntert Beyond your Fear - Postmortem
Postmortem
It's been a year since I launched my first horror game on Steam. Yesterday, I finally updated it with a performance patch, allowing me to call it a finished and polished product. Here, I want to share the story of my journey, the things Iāve learned, and what I could have done differently.Prestory
I have always loved playing games and wanted to create them. My first "game engine" was Scratch, which I discovered around 2012, introduced to me by my school teacher. At that time, my attention span wasnāt great, and I didnāt learn much until 2014 or 2015, when I made my first copy of "Five Nights at Freddyās" in Scratch. I think the series is still somewhere on YouTube. Naturally, nothing exceptional, and the game wasnāt finished. The following year, I made a trailer for my grand horror game idea (which was beyond my abilities but still exciting).Then I found Roblox and its Roblox Studio, where I first encountered the programming language Lua. Using some presets and models, I tried to make a copy of Outlast in Roblox, which got massive views for its time and earned me a handful of Robux (not much, but it meant the world to me). I made even more lazy projects with large scopes, which I naturally didnāt fully finish either.
I believe my serious gamedev journey began in 2017 when I read an article about Unity development in a gaming magazine. Naturally, I started with horror games again (as everyone else does). I found out I lacked 3D skills, so I got a student 3DMax license. I learned the basics of modeling and texturing and started learning C# for Unity. For a teen, it was a challenging task. Over 2-3 years, I went back and forth between Unity and Roblox.
In my local university, there was a Global Game Jam. I decided to participate. Itās a two-day activity where you quickly come up with an idea and a prototype for a game. I proposed a game called 3x5Cell (the website isnāt working anymore, but the executables are still there). I earned a virtual third place there. Fast forward, I took part in multiple game jams and finally found Blender, which I use for modeling and sculpting to this day.
In 2020, I launched my first game, Chibi Dash, which I ported to Steam in 2021 to test how Steam works.
Beyond Your Fear
I started developing this game in 2021 on Unity HDRP (which was not stable at all) with the goal of making it as realistic as possible, using warm lights as an unsettling element. Unfortunately, due to circumstances in 2022, I had to cease development because I didnāt have a proper PC. However, I continued modeling on my old laptop and published a couple of game assets.In October, I finally resumed development with a clear plan to create a story-driven psychological puzzle horror game where each action has consequences, and there are three endings. I postponed the release three times: initially in December, then in January, and finally in March, resulting in the release date of May 13th. Now, here are the things I wanted to share with you.
My Mistakes
While some of them might be obvious, knowing something doesnāt mean you do it.- TEST YOUR GAME: My biggest issue at launch was not enough testing. You canāt find every bug, but still try your best. Depending on your gameās scale, test it for 1-2 months before release.
- Minimal Marketing: In todayās world, creating something with the goal of earning money canāt be done with the mindset of "I will make a great game, and it will become popular." In 2021 alone, 13,000 games were released. Hoping your game will be seen and recognized among all of those isnāt a good strategy. Even if some of you have great games, the majority of regular developers with their first games donāt. Always make a marketing plan and find your target audience.
- Donāt Fix Whatās Already Working: If youāre working on a game for 6-12 months, your skills will grow exponentially. Itās tempting to add something big or fully rework systems. However, 99% of the time, youāll just introduce more bugs without fixing the issue. Use your improved skills to enhance systems or art that donāt fit your vision instead of rewriting everything because you can do it more efficiently.
- Polish Your Game Afterwards: If this is your first experience, this step might not be for you. For those who have been making a game for 4-12 months and are a bit proficient, "Make your game feel good."
- Reach Influencers: Before the release, create a press kit and reach out to as many influencers as you canā100-200 is a good rule of thumb. Donāt aim for the large ones. Find niche streamers who will benefit from your game and send them a key. Generally, only a small percentage will reach back, so if you get 1-5 influencers, thatās already pretty good.
- Fix Bugs Quickly: When you release your game, the work is only halfway done. Monitor the gameās status and reviews, and quickly fix what went wrong.
- Prepare for Critique: You will be criticized by fellow developers and gamers. Often, they will be mean. Donāt take it personally, and try to sort out the genuinely good advice that can improve your game.
- Take a Break: For this project, I was almost burned out. When I start something, I canāt let go, so I neglected my mental and physical well-being and social life. Unless you are working for a publisher, you are not in a hurry. Itās better to continue refreshed; it will come out better. Trust me and trust the process.
Go make your dream gameāno one is there to stop you!
2024.05.16 14:09 Puzzleheaded-Use8431 My bf '25M' has a girl bestfriend and I '22F' can't stand it but I love him too much to break up, what should my next step be?
Me (22f) and my boyfriend (25m) have been dating for a year and I really love him but weāve had lots of issues in our relationship and weāre mostly different in our personalities so we struggle in understanding each other, in the beginning of the relationship I was controlling and I only cared about him not hurting my feelings in any way because I went through trauma in my last relationship. He also had a girl bestfriend (she was creepy and she didnāt have any boundaries, she once called me to tell me that he would pick her over me , they had a weird friendship her bd date was his password, and he also told her how he could lose me but not her and hid the chat which I later found out about) and as the problems with her grew and we started to fight I started to put boundaries in their friendship that apparently she didnāt like so she told him either they have no boundaries and be like before I was in his life or she doesnāt want him in her life anymore so he obviously cut her off , and I felt so relieved about it so I made sure he always didnāt talk to her in any way and that made him feel controlled. Side story: I had this problem where I would $H because I felt unheard and I wanted him to understand me and that also caused a problem to our relationship. So back to the story Iāve always felt so insecure about their relationship (would throw up when I see them together, get chills all over my body when I hear her name, get nightmares about her etc.) . So recently I did a mistake and I hid it from him but somehow she found out and even tho she was supposed to stay out of his life she called him and told him what I did to make us break up and he hid the fact that she called and lied about it. He confronted me and we ended up fighting about and breaking up. (We usually break up and get back the next day) so during the breakup that lasted a day he called her and ranted to her about our break up claiming he was hurt and I found out which really hurt me so I took sleeping pills and I ended up in the hospital which was a huge problem because I almost died. Obviously he decided we should take a break and we did. (I was at my lowest point in my life and I had no one and he left but I couldnāt blame him because Iām wrong for trying to kms Iām clean now)and he said he wasnāt getting back with me until I completely change. The problem is he started to change to but for the worst and he changed from the sweetest person ever to the most selfish man I know . And he was done of the controlling so he started doing stuff that I usually didnāt allow but I had to say yes so we wouldnāt break up. but meanwhile the break I was passing by and saw them sitting together which caused me a panic attack and then he brought me and said me and her need to talk or else he would break up with me , she started talking shit to me and he obviously wasnāt taking my side or defending me he also was being to close and flirty with her and she ended up saying (keep in mind she is supposed to be out his life) that I shouldnāt get involved in their relationship and that she could do whatever she wants and I shouldnāt put boundaries for her and him and all he replied with was correcting the word relationship with friendship. And I had to shut up because he was gonna break up with me. Obviously this destroyed me and I started to drift myself from him and have my own life and go out with friends which caused a problem to him and he started to get jealous so he ended the break and started to distance himself from her but without any of my control because if I ever try to say my opinion on something he does the opposite. Right now weāre not on the best terms because I started To get attached again (I have anxious attachment) so he started to treat me bad again he also has anger issues and says the worst stuff to me when heās mad. A few days ago he was invited to her bd and I didnāt want him to go but he fought with me and insisted he would go so I decided to let him go so we wonāt fight or break up. Today we were fighting about if theyāre allowed to take pics alone or not and he ended up calling me a child and hurting me and being so aggressive and saying he would do it anyways regardless of if I say yes or no and he started to hurt me pretty badly (verbally) and I sat wanting to relapse and having a breakdown. I know some of you might think itās not a big deal but Iām so sensitive and insecure about it so it is a big deal to me and I feel I should break up (not just bcuz of that weāve been having problems) and I love him but I think we should break up what advice could u give me ??

2024.05.16 14:08 Conscious-Glass2073 21 [F4M] Trying again. Be my constant person?
Hello! After giving myself time to explore, heal, and rediscover lost passions/hobbies, I think now is the perfect time to try and open my heart again.
I am in my early 20s, studying in one of the UAAP schools, pursuing a healthcare-related degree. I am most passionate about pursuing higher studies further to advance my skills for myself and my future patients.
I am taller and bigger than the average Filipina, standing at 5ā6, and I am plus-sized due to some hormonal problems and medications, but I am working on it for my physical and mental well-being. I think I look presentable enough :) I enjoy making myself look good and am a makeup enthusiast.
Honestly, I am busy most of the time but keen on building a connection enough to make time for you. Some have a lot on their plates, so I know how to respect one's time and boundaries. I am a great listener and adore remembering every detail of your life.
I mostly struggle communicating my feelings because I was so used to repressing them. But, I'm starting to learn how to communicate with the people l am acquainted with, and I think I have made significant progress over the past two years
I am looking for someone who possesses the following: - Soft-spoken and calm - Filipino - Emotionally intelligent - Socially aware - Funny - Family oriented - Single :) - Attentive and cares enough to know more about me on a deeper level - Patient enough to communicate - Please be not nonchalant ā¹ļø - Speaks my love language (Quality time, words of affirmation, and Acts of Service) - Not afraid to show his feminine side! - Preferably in the med or business field (but anything will do naman!) - Taller than me - I have a bias towards big bois hehe
I have preferences, but I think whatās important is we are of the same or similar wavelength regarding values and intellect

2024.05.16 14:08 1000andonenites Funeral Baked Meats
Frank held the wasted hand of his beloved Julia. Her sparkling wedding band hung loose on her withered finger, her nails, once glossy and strong, were now brittle and yellow. Looking at her dull sunken eyes, he was glad that she would be at peace soon.
And yet, he couldnāt help feeling a flutter of excitement. He couldnāt deny it. As the time came, he could acknowledge how deeply he was looking forward to the aftermath. Julia had taken some persuading, in fact she had refused point-blank when he had first broached the subject. But he knew how to wear her down- a skill honed over their years together- and of course her sickness made her less resistant. He played upon the guilt she bore of abandoning him because of her untimely impending demise, the pleasure it would provide him after her death, and how it would bring them closer together, and eventually she signed off.
It would mean she would be assisted in dying a bit sooner than ānaturalā- what was natural anyway? There was no point waiting until all her organs and flesh was diseased and useless. Her heart and lungs were as sound as a bell, as her doctor was fond of repeating, and her bones would make a most excellent broth. The medics and Funeral Baked Meats fixed the appropriate date.
There was a tap at the hospital room door- it was the Baked Meats representative Johannes, a good-looking young man. Frank had thought it odd at first that somebody as vibrant as Johannes should enter such a morbid profession, until they worked together and he realised Johannes was actually the perfect fit.
Johannes didnāt enter the room. Frank slipped his hand out of Juliaās weak clutch, and went up to him.
āI am most sorry to disturb you Mr. Smith- but time is approaching, a few details regarding the menu- we want everything perfect-ā
āNo need to apologizeā whispered Frank- āletās go to the visitorās lounge, Mrs. Smith is resting.ā
Johannes had his file with him, and together they went over time the dishes which would best fit Juliaās remains. Frank could barely stop himself from drooling over the description of the fricassee and then the breakfast sausages- oh - Humble, yet his favourite, he admitted with a sheepish grin at Johannes.
āThey are one of our most popular products sir, I completely understand that. And no wonder!ā
āIs that so?ā said Frank. āI wouldāve thought everyone wants fancy stuff!ā
āOh no sir, the breakfast sausages, very popular, no wonder with our chefsā recipes- well, we can hardly keep up with the demand.ā
Frank nodded. Funeral Baked Meats were making top dollar, as everyone rushed into the trend of eating their loved ones remains.
He shook hands with Johannes, and walked back to the Juliaās room. Her eyes were open, watching. His heart sank a bit, but then remembered it would be over soon. He bent and kissed her clammy forehead, and she flinched.

It would mean she would be assisted in dying a bit sooner than ānaturalā- what was natural anyway? There was no point waiting until all her organs and flesh was diseased and useless. Her heart and lungs were as sound as a bell, as her doctor was fond of repeating, and her bones would make a most excellent broth. The medics and Funeral Baked Meats fixed the appropriate date.
There was a tap at the hospital room door- it was the Baked Meats representative Johannes, a good-looking young man. Frank had thought it odd at first that somebody as vibrant as Johannes should enter such a morbid profession, until they worked together and he realised Johannes was actually the perfect fit.
Johannes didnāt enter the room. Frank slipped his hand out of Juliaās weak clutch, and went up to him.
āI am most sorry to disturb you Mr. Smith- but time is approaching, a few details regarding the menu- we want everything perfect-ā
āNo need to apologizeā whispered Frank- āletās go to the visitorās lounge, Mrs. Smith is resting.ā
Johannes had his file with him, and together they went over time the dishes which would best fit Juliaās remains. Frank could barely stop himself from drooling over the description of the fricassee and then the breakfast sausages- oh - Humble, yet his favourite, he admitted with a sheepish grin at Johannes.
āThey are one of our most popular products sir, I completely understand that. And no wonder!ā
āIs that so?ā said Frank. āI wouldāve thought everyone wants fancy stuff!ā
āOh no sir, the breakfast sausages, very popular, no wonder with our chefsā recipes- well, we can hardly keep up with the demand.ā
Frank nodded. Funeral Baked Meats were making top dollar, as everyone rushed into the trend of eating their loved ones remains.
He shook hands with Johannes, and walked back to the Juliaās room. Her eyes were open, watching. His heart sank a bit, but then remembered it would be over soon. He bent and kissed her clammy forehead, and she flinched.

When I was 6 years old my mama & papa left me to my grandma's house and this is the start of my traumas I'm not gonna say it all but I remember when I was a kid I was so so scared because I was 2012 movie, I always has nightmares after that I feel like it's gonna end of the world I am always crying every night at our house I don't have anybody since my mama & papa is working my grandma is busy doesn't have a time for me. I always cry cry and fear fear and to the point I can't even breathe for almost 1 week because of heart palpitations. I beg for my family to bring me to hospital but they just ignoring me and telling me I'm just overacting. This is trauma I know.
2019 I was grade 7, that year is my worst year so many bad things happened to me, I always got fights with neighbors, I don't sleep for almost 2months and have palpitations and don't go school. I just cry cry every night begging lord to make me sleep.
2023 it happens to me again I cry I cry I am so depressed almost 2 month Nov/Dec then Dec I started to feel palpitations again and can't breathe I also found lump in my breast I can't breathe for almost 1 month I never said it to my mother because I know we are poor and I always remember how they treat me before until I realize I need to help my self. We go to doctor and do x-ray the lump can't see in x-ray but if it's mammogram or ultrasound we will see it but my mama doesn't want me to go again because we don't have money and this is not a big deal it's just a lump.
2024 now the news in pH about rabies is triggering my health anxiety. I've been bitten by my kitten in march 31 and got bitten by my dog(vaccinated) again in April 26 (the kitten and dog is still alive until now) , the next day I felt feverish so we go to abc to do anti rabies 1st , 2nd ,3rd dose i experience the side effects that makes my anxiety worst 1 week after 3rd dose may 12 I'm having palpitations and shortness of breath again it's 5days now. April and may I really experience so many unlucky and bad things the college I apply, rejected me. My friends doesn't even greet me on my birthday in May 1and doesn't help me when I ask for support because I missed some school activities and always left me out when we hang out. My family hates me because I am weak and always sick. My neighbors hates me always talks to me when I got outside. And I'm feeling this rabies anxiety or rabies I am really so tired and stress and depressed and scared. I wanna give up life now.
What do you think about my mental health? My health condition?
Please I can't afford therapy and check up because my family won't allow me and we are poor.
I wish in other universe my other self has a life opposite of me in this universe.

2024.05.16 14:07 Defnotarii My boyfriend is acting pretty controlling, and I think itās getting a tad bit extreme. What should I do?
I f15 have a boyfriend m20. I know itās a big age gap please donāt comment about it I just need advice on the thing hes doing specifically. We live in an extreme conservative Muslim country very extreme. Iām from the west but my mom brought me here itās a long story. Anyways me and him talk on Instagram and over time he would ask me to remove all guys from my following and followers. And then he would ask me to remove my profile picture, which is just like a pic of my face, I wasnāt wearing anything revealing it was just me in a tshirt. And then he asked me to delete my highlights even though now I only have girls on my private Instagram account? So I donāt even see the point. So I listened to him but now he even has a problem with me posting on my close friends story and gets so upset. I feel like close friends story is seriously not a big deal. In the country Iām in itās not typical for girls to have profile pictures and the such but idk I feel like heās kind of overreacting. I think I just need advice on like if I should just leave it and do what he says because posting pictures isnāt a big deal and isnāt worth fighting about or just talk with him? Which I feel like will just cause a big fight

2024.05.16 14:06 Latetothepizzaparty I still have hope- am I delusional?
Long post (sorry in advanced).
Seeking advice on the best next steps for my situation. I (43f) have been married to my husband (41m) for 17 years (together for over 20 years). During those 17 years we separated at year 4 (lasted about a year) because I felt like he wasnāt meeting my expectations and sharing the mental load with our 3 young children at the time (he would often play video games after he got home from work instead of helping with the kids). We tried marriage counseling prior to separating but ultimately spending the year apart (and divorcing) helped us grow to the point where we felt life was not worth living unless we lived it together. 1 month after our divorce we started dating again and we remarried on our original wedding anniversary the following year.
This new marriage was better than the first- we were kinder to one another, communicated our expectations and needs (or so I thought), and we brought another child into the world. Together we are raising 4 children (2 in college, one in high school, and 1 in elementary). I felt like we were always on the same page. We constantly talked about our dreams and life goals, we went on vacations, he encouraged me to go back to school and helped out by taking over the cooking and cleaning. I would ask him what he needed from me and he would communicate that to me. I truly felt like we were stronger than ever. This is the marriage people dream of.
Last year, my husband encouraged me to go back to school to continue perusing my career goals. I got into a doctoral program for my field and he said he would support me however I needed. He works full time from home- and I work 2 part time jobs (one of which helps pay for my schooling). Well, Iām 1 year in with my program and about 3 weeks ago (right before finals) he tells me heās unhappy with our marriage and his needs are not being met. He told me he needs to feel desired and valued and wants to be prioritized, have more sex, and more help with the cooking and picking up our youngest from school/sports. I dropped everything (happily) and stepped up to the plate. We had sex daily, I went back to cooking for the family every night, picking our youngest up from school/practice, and I only did my school work during his working hours so my weekends were free to spend with him. I even told him I would be happy to quit chill altogether because none of that means anything to me if heās not by my side.
After about 1 week of this he reveals heās not in love with me anymore and that heās emotionally checked out because he had been feeling like this for years. He said he doesnāt want to have sex anymore, and he doesnāt want me around all the time, and now Iām cooking too much and not giving him the opportunity to cook, too. When I asked him why he didnāt communicate this to me sooner, he said he didnāt want to āstress me out.ā He acknowledges that his communication is and always has been poor (although I thought it was better this time in our marriage). I suggested couples counseling- we went to one session and he tells me heās not interested in putting the work because itās too hard when heās not in love with me. I told him I will continue to show up for him and our marriage because I believe in us and this amazing life we built.
Itās been only 3 weeks since he told me he was unhappy and last night he said heās done. We had a long talk about what brings him joy in life and he couldnāt think of anything. I think he may be having a midlife crisis and heās projecting his unhappiness onto me. He agreed to continue to go to therapy to work on himself and figure out āwho he isā but doesnāt want our marriage to complicate this process. So now we are trying to figure out what life looks like during this process. We are going to try and cohabitate for the next few years and coparent and Iām going to attempt to continue with school (and work) so I can better support myself and our kids when he leaves. Iām hoping during this time he will come back to me but this is where Iām probably delusional. I know I need to let him go but I still have hope that we can be amazing together. He said heās broken and I deserve better.
I should also mention that he revealed to me that prior to him telling me he was unhappy he had been jacking off to pornhub 2x a day. He said he built up resentment towards me during this time because he wanted to instead have sex with me. I reminded him that he never communicated this need to me and I would have been happy to step it up.
I keep telling him āI wish I had known.ā It hurts my heart to hear my partner was hurting for all this time. All he had to do was tell me what he needed and give me the opportunity to meet his needs. But he never gave me that choice. Iāve been completely blindsighted, and I am completely devastated. I still have hope. Should I even continue to try and save what he thinks is lost?
If you made it this far- thank you. I welcome any advice and best next steps.

2024.05.16 14:06 Mysterious_H23 A pathetic little vent
Assalamualaykum,
This post is gonna sound so pathetic, but Iām not sorry, I just need to vent somewhere, anywhere right now.
If you do comment, please read the whole thing as there are people who comment and get the wrong idea.
To give context, I developed feelings for this girl I was once friends with at a time where we didnāt talk at all for so long. I live in the UK and she lives in America, and we met online once upon a time through a mutual friend.
During the time we didnāt talk, the reason for this must have been both of us connecting to our deen more and distance of course. She essentially cut off every guy, and Allahumma barik Iām proud of her for that. Sheās developed so much, itās amazing to see.
But for the past year, Iāve had these feelings and I donāt know why. Around December 2023, I took the courage to ask her if sheās interested in marriage, to which she replied she would but it simply wouldnāt work due to both of us being overseas.
Iāve gotten advice from multiple people to give it time to move on, which I have. Iāve even tried finding other people in terms of marriage, and yet my feelings for this girl still linger in my heart and mind.
Iāve prayed Tahajjud, Istikhara (I am aware that this prayer is meant for decisions but the way I asked was to ask Allah if I should still keep asking for her in my duas or to just give up and move on), and made constant dua to ask if she is meant for me then attach my heart to her and if she isnāt then disattach my heart and attach it to the one who is meant for me. And yet, these feelings are still so strong.
I donāt know what Iām meant to do, itās taking a mental toll on me. Iām not even obsessed and yet itās constantly on my mind. I keep myself busy and yet sheās there.
Perhaps I need to fix myself? I donāt know, but I do have so much I need to fix about myself.
Apologies for the stupid vent.

And yet, these feelings are still so strong.
I donāt know what Iām meant to do, itās taking a mental toll on me. Iām not even obsessed and yet itās constantly on my mind. I keep myself busy and yet sheās there.
Perhaps I need to fix myself? I donāt know, but I do have so much I need to fix about myself.
Apologies for the stupid vent.

 | Im also going to at least pause posting Jess unless she starts her scam again. submitted by littlejerseyguy to tiktoktoxiccouples_2 [link] [comments] Taking responsibility for her part in what happened is a big step I hope. Itās always been everyone elseās fault. Everyone and anyone that she could blame she has. Except the adults in that house that failed those kids. Especially loves to blame the haterz. And while I donāt agree with some things that were said or done, at the end of the day each person is responsible for their own actions and their own mental health. Crazy how Ed being out of the picture seems to have changed things for the better š± shocking. Heās still on his bullshit, begging for $12 and a leg and flowers for his mom? š¤¦š» I for one hope that she keeps getting the help she needs and doing what needs to be done to be a āmotherā to those kids. Still hope they donāt go back with her, shown repeatedly that she isnāt able to care for them. But they need their mom in their life. Contrary to what she thinks, thereās a number of people here that want to see her do better. I do reserve the right to change my mind if sheās back on her bullshit though š |

It's not the most perfect thing in the world but you can easily fix most the issues except the keycaps.
Let me go over what's included:
- Keyboard: As nature of a product used around 3 years (R1) may have some scuffs and marks though nothing glaring or serious.
- PCB: Has been treated to protect against water damage by a conformal coating on the sensitive electronic components. I do not endorse getting your keyboard wet. This is a replacement board as the one from R1 randomly crapped out. I think it is the KBD67 MKII V3 Hotswap PCB.
- Switches: Durock POMs, lubricated with 205g0. Worked in over the past years I've daily drived it. Buttery smooth linears. 63.5 bottom out.
- Keycaps: This is where the record scratch happens. As expected with wear and use, the A-Z legends on the ePBT set may have shine. I don't know what happened to it during storage and cleaning, but there's major fading on sides of caps.
- Novelties: These playfully replace the numbers and side keys with GMK Godspeed. I will include the like-new ePBT extras if you hate this. Minor fading on sides of caps.
- Back of Keyboard: Sticker-bombered with a cutesy-animal aesthetic. If you hate this, it's likely very easy to remove with steam or gently peeling + isopropyl to remove any remaining adhesive.
- Note: One of the rubber feet has been replaced with a makeshift blob of silicone. If this bothers you, 8 x 2 mm rubber feet/bump-ons are very cheap and easy to find. If you're a big keyboard builder you might even have some lying around.

2024.05.16 14:03 pm-positivity The entire Joostgate timeline explained: It's not a reach to suspect Israel had something to do with Netherlands' DQ
 | There are some people who still insist that Joost Klein's disqualification had nothing to do with Israel. They firmly believe he just fucked up behind the scenes and did something that warranted him being removed from the contest. However, if you look at what actually, objectively happened, it's really not that conspiratorial to suspect that they were involved with this and targeted Joost personally. submitted by pm-positivity to Joostklein [link] [comments] Let's look at the timeline to understand the reasons. 1- On March 19, Joost shared a Eurovision poll on his Instagram story. Joost found a clever way to censor Israel's name by writing a caption right where their name is written. https://preview.redd.it/so19wj5bvr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa118a7d1ccacc36f3703827bce5e2076cc365f6 Although many people did not pay much attention to this at first, saying "maybe it is just a coincidence", Joost shared the survey again a few days later and again wrote a caption where Israel's name was written. Although some Israelis got angry and reacted to this incident on social media, this incident was not a big deal. https://preview.redd.it/tgaqlrzevr0d1.jpg?width=854&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5f13f9759a08130a9b4fc35393cfcbfea0edb4d0 2- On May 8, the day before the second semi-final, while the Dutch and Israeli delegations were in the same room, the songwriter of the Israeli song, Keren Peles, started recording Joost without permission. Joost goes to the woman and tells her that he does not want to be recorded and to stop. The woman still continued to secretly record Joost and shared it on her Instagram story. https://preview.redd.it/6l7tt1bjvr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fefa09968c8102a25ddbd054d6e0f0d548a11206 3- Semi-final night came and the Dutch delegation made an agreement with the broadcasters before the semi-final and they said that Joost does not want to be recorded because he needs some time and privacy after the semi-final performance is over. The reason for this is that Joost's song is dedicated to his deceased parents and Joost struggles with PTSD about their loss. A photographer violated this agreement and started recording Joost as soon as he left the stage. Joost told her to stop, but she did not listen. Thereupon, Joost got angry, shouted at the cameraman and pushed the camera device down, causing the device to be scratched, but it was confirmed by the Swedish police that Joost did not have any physical contact with her. He also apologized after this incident. 4- On the same evening this incident took place, at the press conference attended by finalists, Israeli representative Eden Golan was asked: "Do you think Israel's participation in the competition poses a danger for you, other artists, delegations and the audience in the arena?" The Israeli delegation immediately intervened and said that you do not have to answer this question. Joost then responds with "why not?" Joost covering his head with a flag during the same press conference also attracted a lot of reactions, but this is something Joost does very often. Maybe it was done on purpose to be a stance against the Israelis, maybe not, but there are videos of him singing his songs with a flag on his head in many of his concerts in the past. 5- Immediately after this press conference, the competition order in the grand final is determined and as if out of spite, they put Joost between two Israelis in the grand final (the Luxembourg representative is also Israeli). https://preview.redd.it/e10ij9covr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=050a3e1917edca7d51a3913f0d1cf22dd171c066 6- The next day came and it is the last day before the grand finale. It is also the day when the final rehearsals and jury finale will be held. Joost and his team are getting ready to go to rehearsal, and just as they are about to take their place on stage, they are stopped by the authorities. They say that an investigation has been launched because the argument that took place the previous evening was just reported by the cameraman, and that Joost cannot go on stage until the investigation is concluded. While Joost and his team are leaving the stage, they are harassed by a man from the Israeli delegation in the waiting room. The Israeli man came to them and tries to provoke Joost and his team by making fun of them. Security intervened. Video evidence of this incident: https://youtu.be/Rhr6rmR8Dl0 7- Meanwhile, the Israeli delegation and the Israeli official channel violate many rules, disturbing the representatives of many countries throughout the competition. The Israeli channel Kan makes unprofessional statements about the Irish contwstant Bambie Thug and tells the Israelis to shower their curses and insults on them (Bambie is openly a supporter of Palestine and anti-war, even the "ceasefire" text wrote in the Ogham alphabet on their face in the semi-final was forcibly erased by EBU). Israeli songwriter Keren Peles records Bambie without permission, just like she did with Joost, and shares it on her Instagram story. She writes a threatening caption about Bambie, saying "No anti-Semite can breathe next to us." Bambie Thug is not an anti-Semite, they are literally just against Israeli war crimes. https://preview.redd.it/vsjedygowr0d1.jpg?width=1063&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe99aea53443e3e982fb04f2a5ab5d11e904579b https://preview.redd.it/5g7hhz2wwr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfc871c7b5a4c34a46ed270bba052f074bc8cc09 https://preview.redd.it/ibsxuujwwr0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c247091cf59c11b24f078d8a5229437dd2286f59 8- The member of the Israeli delegation who went up to Joost and his team and tried to start a fight, also made fun of the Greek representative Marina Satti by posing while yawning in front of the Greek flag. Keren Pekes also shared Marina in her story and wrote a salty caption (because Marina yawned while Eden Golan was speaking during the press conference). https://preview.redd.it/wr6b2f3axr0d1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7fe3d1e9108df99052bf8c4f203987e104a573f0 https://preview.redd.it/aqh7bbiaxr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd9ccfa8e9b5d0b599b91b8b5117b6e943faf166 9- Dons, the Latvian representative, was subjected to cold stares of Eden Golan and the Israeli delegation for saying "every country in the world deserves to be free." https://preview.redd.it/2q9kbm0hxr0d1.jpg?width=946&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=925291679729cd438ec6602622628d996ba20cc5 Italian representative Angelina Mango is reported and fined for making a small speech about peace backstage and singing a cover of John Lennon's song Imagine. French representative Slimane is censored in his recap video because he interrupted his song during rehearsal and said he wanted peace. Portugal representative Iolanda wore nail polish in the colors of the Palestinian flag and a keffiyeh pattern on her nails during the grand final performance, they first censored the semi-final performance on YouTube by re-uploading it instead of the grand final performance. After this situation received backlash, they uploaded the final performance video very late. Swedish singer Eric Saade, who performed in the semi-finals, is not shared on Eurovision's social media accounts because he came on stage with a keffiyeh. Polish representative Luna also confirmed the Israeli delegation's harassment of other artists in an interview. Likewise, a member of the Slovenian delegation confirms the inappropriate behavior of the Israeli delegation. Estonian representatives expressed their uneasiness with the Israeli delegation. Norwegian representatives also complain about EBU's approach towards the Israeli delegation. https://preview.redd.it/wuetdtg7zr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ae035c6ae4d6857c3bc5ad45098cc29f4aa3455 https://preview.redd.it/li38nxkfzr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dea42c1f8660ede8e6c33c981b8610136a23f21a (Also, this one is just speculation and there is no definitive evidence, but many believe that Mustii appearing on stage with the word "peace" on his arm and the Belgian broadcaster cutting of the broadcast to send a protest message during Israel's performance as a factor in Belgium, which was a fan favorite before the competition, not making it to the finals.) 10- Last year's representative from Finland, KƤƤrijƤ, accepted Golan's offer to take a video together out of kindness, but the Israeli delegation shared the video even though he did not give consent for the video to be shared. https://preview.redd.it/kv0vi6c2yr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b1dcc2768584698b786f3da2cfe9cfc8ba1e1f7 11- After the final, Lithuanian representative Silvester Belt says that it was a traumatic experience for him to go on stage right after Israel, when the audience was so angry and tense. When Silvester came on stage, thousands of people in the arena were still booing Israel. https://preview.redd.it/q6tzjtutzr0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26ac00b10f3b93d08625b353b9f41bdd11dd4572 12- Coming back to Joost, they do not allow the Netherlands to rehearse, nor do they allow him to attend the jury final held on the same evening, and instead they decide to use Joost's semi-final performance for the juries to give scores. The next day, shortly before the grand final, they officially disqualify him from the competition. The Dutch broadcaster appeals the disqualification decision and offers to issue an official apology and pay a fine, but this offer is not accepted by EBU. During this controversy, because EBU was too late to make a proper statement on this matter, the Israelis spread a lot of fake news about Joost, making false claims such as "he used drugs before going on stage", "he punched a female worker" and "he sexually assaulted a woman". They presented it as if the reason for Joost's disqualification was one of these and carried out reputation assassination. 13- Bambie Thug reported rule violations by the Israeli delegation and the Israeli official channel to Abu before the grand final. Even though EBU accepts the violations of the rules in question, it does not impose any sanctions and dismisses them by saying that they will investigate. (Nothing came from it so far) 14- On the 14th of May, an Israeli TV show made a Eurovision 2024 sketch where they made fun of other contestants and made Eden Golan look like a saint, and all of the singers they included in the parody are peace supporters and artists that were harassed by the Israeli delegation in Malmƶ. There was an actress playing her, but also the real Eden Golan herself appeared in the sketch. https://preview.redd.it/c6zsv5u41s0d1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed7058f921828fb1759d2008c8f96cd362984129 Now, looking at all of this information, I personally find it hard to believe that Joost's only fault was that mild incident involving the photographer. It is not a reach to speculate the main reason why they disqualified him was not this controversy, but Joost's stance against Golan at the press conference. In the end, not only did the cameraman violate a prior agreement, but she also did not stop recording even though the person she was recording repeatedly told her to stop. In other words, the disqualification was an excessive and disproportionate punishment. Although many artists representing other countries opposed this situation, EBU stubbornly did not step back on Israel's participation. The same EBU, who immediately expelled Joost from the competition and imposed censorship on the other contestants I mentioned above, has still not announced any sanctions regarding the rule violations committed by the Israeli delegation and the official channel, to this day. Will they do it, ever? Only time will tell... |
2024.05.16 14:02 Low_Bug3401 My first breakup at 26
I dated this guy I met on a dating app for 9 months. We had met gone on dates a year ahead of time but I wasn't that interested then. We met again, I texted him, and we started dating. It was so great, I felt so loved and taken care of. He did everything at my pace bc it was my first relationship. I have never liked a guy enough to date, but with him, I liked him more day by day. We did some long distance, he had a trip scheduled after we started dating and when he came back, after a month, I would visit home for almost 2 months. Then, I came back and he went to work far for two weeks. After, he traveled for work again for 10 days. Although he had some jealousy problems, we always were able to talk about it and try to understand each other. We were in love and saw a future together.
After some months, he started to drink more than usual and would come back home late. He was working in another nearby city during the weeek so we would only meet weekends and once during the week. He was depressed bc of the job and it overflowed to our relationship. He always wanted to work abroad so having that frustration made it worse. Still, I always felt loved and I tried to support him too.
At some point, I went through a very hard time no job, hard time at school, moving out, etc. he stuck by me but one night we went out, I told him to plz not get drunk and he did. On the way home, I got mad abt it and he broke up with me. We slept, but I was really just crying while asking him why? I checked his instagram and he had followed a bunch of new girls. When he woke up, I confronted and he said how they meant nothing and they met at one of his friends gigs so they all shared instas. He unfollowed them. I also asked abt a girl I knew he met at one overseas job, he explained how she helped him once.
We cried, he left. I never saw him again but we texted for abt 2 months like lovers. It mostly consisted of him consoling me and us talking abt hope for the future. His reason for the breakup was that he thought I was his only happiness and he was frustrated with work and how he thought he wasnt trying enough to leave the country bc I was here. I believed him.
Fast forward, I was too depressed and would spiral in our conversations bc I didn't understand why was it necessary to break up. In the end, he let go and told me to let go of us too. I sent his stuff, blocked him on aocial media. We texted, I said to send me my stuff bc for me holding onto it meant hope. He took 2 months to send it. When he did, I told him off.
Months later, I found that he added the girl he met on that work trip to his finsta so I unblocked him and asked abt it. He denied everything and told me to find my peace but that there was nothing romantic for that girl. I asked him to block me or I would go crazy speculating. He did. We said bye. A week ago, I saw the girls insta and saw his hand. They traveled together. He traveled to see her. My heart sunk. I texted her asking abt the timeline to know if he cheated. She wanted to videocall, he was in the room. Apparently they were dating for a month and she just found out how he was talking to a girl. He and I fought verbally, he called me a stalker a and that he was happy he broke up with me bc I was so toxic. The other girl ended up breaking up with him. They still follow eachother on instagram though.
I felt lighter but I also feel this great sadness. Will I ever be able to find someone who loved me like he did when we were together? I know he didnt cheat while we were together but this girl didnt know he had a gf when they met. There is so much wrong and I know I should forget but I am afraid I wont be attracted to someone physically, emotionally and mentally like I was with him ever again. I thought we matched well, our personalities. How can the love fade away and end like this? I dont understand.

2024.05.16 13:59 mkn19787mkn Dinner with Rich Boomers Blew My Mind
 | I recently had the opportunity to attend a dinner party that I knew would be different from my usual gatherings. The invite came from a friend of a friend, and it was to be held at a lavish estate in the heart of the city. The hosts? A group of wealthy baby boomers who had made their fortunes in various industries over the past few decades. I was intrigued, to say the least, and a little apprehensive about what to expect. What followed was an evening that would shatter many of my preconceived notions and leave me with a new perspective on life, wealth, and the generations before mine. submitted by mkn19787mkn to foodtoday [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/5bnsgk6i4s0d1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=8cbf1c404fe989f96cd2c7ecd08a45533d7e9001 The ArrivalAs I approached the grand mansion, I was struck by the sheer opulence of the place. The driveway was lined with luxury cars, and the entrance was adorned with immaculate landscaping and fountains. I felt a little out of place in my modest sedan, but my excitement outweighed any discomfort. I was greeted warmly by the hosts, who introduced themselves with the kind of charisma that only comes from decades of experience in the world of high-stakes business and networking.https://preview.redd.it/zlwgpqcg4s0d1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=b4cfbe54dfd4bd2d854584249c6d60e6d13e4fcb The SettingInside, the mansion was even more impressive. The decor was a blend of classic and modern, with original artwork adorning the walls and state-of-the-art technology seamlessly integrated into the design. The dining room was set for an elaborate feast, with a long table covered in fine linens, crystal glasses, and silverware that gleamed under the chandelierās light.The GuestsAs I mingled with the other guests, I quickly realized that I was in the presence of some truly remarkable individuals. These boomers were not only wealthy but also incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. There was a tech entrepreneur who had sold his startup for millions, a retired investment banker who now ran a successful charity, and a former CEO of a major corporation who had transitioned into a career as an author and speaker.https://preview.redd.it/mvztqz2e4s0d1.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=478f05e840ed59694ed2111c1e95899872ac2dc1 The ConversationOne of the most striking aspects of the evening was the conversation. These boomers had lived through significant historical events and had been at the forefront of technological and cultural shifts. They spoke with authority and insight on topics ranging from the evolution of the stock market to the impact of the internet on modern business practices.What blew my mind the most was their adaptability and willingness to embrace change. Contrary to the stereotype of older generations being resistant to new ideas, these individuals were open-minded and forward-thinking. They shared their thoughts on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain, and their enthusiasm was contagious. The WisdomThroughout the dinner, I found myself absorbing a wealth of knowledge and wisdom. One guest shared his philosophy on wealth, emphasizing the importance of using oneās resources to create positive change in the world. Another spoke about the value of perseverance and resilience, recounting stories of business ventures that had failed before eventual success.These conversations challenged many of my preconceived notions about the baby boomer generation. I realized that wealth and success were not just about hard work and intelligence, but also about being adaptable, staying curious, and having the courage to take risks. https://preview.redd.it/ew47pu1c4s0d1.jpg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9009aba4cb82a3c834c55ae9fecc29ae18c5d685 The FoodAnd then, of course, there was the food. The dinner was a culinary masterpiece, with each course carefully crafted by a renowned chef. From the exquisite appetizers to the decadent desserts, every bite was a testament to the hostsā impeccable taste and commitment to excellence. The wine flowed freely, each glass paired perfectly with the dishes, enhancing the flavors and elevating the dining experience.The TakeawayAs the evening drew to a close and I made my way home, I couldnāt help but reflect on the experience. Dinner with these rich boomers had not only been an eye-opening glimpse into a world of luxury and success but also a profound lesson in life. I left with a renewed sense of motivation and a deeper appreciation for the knowledge and wisdom that comes with age.This dinner party had indeed blown my mind, and it reminded me that every generation has something valuable to offer. The key is to remain open, curious, and willing to learn from those who have walked the path before us. Alex Johnson is a freelance writer based in New York.

2024.05.16 13:59 VitisIdaea š¤¼āāļøš¤ŗšš»šš¾š¤½šæIn honor of the Summer Olympics(and their bizarre attempt to use cardboard beds to prevent hookups): MCs who play Summer Olympics sports, please! šš„ššøš“š¼šš„ā³ļø
So the Summer Olympics is coming up, and regardless of my feelings on the Olympic Committee, I kind of love it? Like, I'm watching every single archery game my involuntary ESPN+ subscription will show me, and as for artistic swimming, well, let's just say I'm really excited to see how Mexico does this year because their performance in 2020 was fab.
Anyway, you also may have seen the news about the 2024 Olympics: they're populating the athlete dorms with twin beds made out of cardboard in the hopes of preventing orgies. I'm absolutely certain that will prevent athletic, motivated, incredibly competitive young people in peak physical condition from getting it on, guys. Good job.
What do you get when you combine the two? Romance novels, that's what you get.
I know asking for Summer Olympic romances is probably a little too niche, I don't think there are many. (And I gather they protect that trademark like an Ice Planet Barbarian tracking down his resonance mate.)
So... I want romances where one or both of the MCs participate in summer Olympic sports, preferably the more obscure ones, preferably at a professional level, although no Olympic involvement is required. If not professional level, at least competitive level - I want the MC(s) to be winning (or losing) at this sport, and I want them to play it as a sport. Much as I love a medieval with an archer FMC, an MMC taking leisurely horseback rides through regency England, or someone sailing around the world as, like, their thing, that's not what I'm looking for.
Here is a list of all the summer Olympic sports. Yes, yes, I know cricket isn't obscure, but it is in Romancelandia. Most of these are obscure in Romancelandia! Bring it on!
A couple favorites of mine featuring Summer Olympic Sports: {Bad Girl Gone Wicked by Shilpa Suraj} (MF contemporary) features an FMC who plays cricket. {Winning Ruby Heart by Jennifer Lohmann} (MF contemporary) pairs an FMC who is a competitive runner with the sports journalist who took her down in a doping scandal several years ago.

2024.05.16 13:59 BeggarsBGone Lisa!!!!!
Trigger warning ā¼ļø Lisa you vile pos!!!! Yes I said what I said. Do you even realize your kids hate you??? If you do itās obvious that you donāt care. Whats also obvious that you care more about $1 for your fix than you do your own pregnant child that you carried beneath your heart for 9 months. Did I hear you right are you now saying someone passed away??? You have no low you wonāt stoop to is there Lisa??? You could care less about anything except your next fix. You deny having a problem but your burnt up lips, weight loss, dirty fingernails and your eyes tell a entirely different story. LEAVE YOUR DAUGHTER ALONE!!! We are sick and tired of watching this BS. Itās triggering to me and many others. You are allover TikTok crying, screaming, yelling and assaulting your child because you are going through withdrawals. Can you imagine what Big Cole thinks of what youāre doing??? Heās ashamed of what you are doing!!! At this point Lisa rehab is too good for you. Keep saying that nothing is going to happen to you because I distinctly remember you saying you were āuntouchableā and that no one was going to take your son. In fact I remember you being quite smug and cocky about it and you see how that turned out because your son was in fact taken. So Lisa keep being cocky because it might take time but itās been proven that you arenāt untouchable like you think you are. Itās just a matter of time before your games come to an end because you are spiraling and fast. By the way Lisa we know you arenāt going to IOP that would interfere with your begging and Hug use. It seems not only have people been enabling you by sending you enough money to use but that they are in fact sending enough for you to increase your use. Well I leave you with this Lisa at least we know Jace is no longer there for you to abuse him and heās actually thriving. I also know that is driving you crazy because you actually thought your son would rather come back to filthy house, no rules and a mother thats having nervous breakdowns at all hours of the night. Instead despite you heās happy. I just hope Abby is smart and leaves to and doesnāt look back. Itās what I eventually did to my father who treated me just like you do Abby!!! Sorry to anyone that I triggered with this but her hissing and screaming at Abby is just too much for me and you canāt even scroll TikTok without seeing her BS pop up

2024.05.16 13:59 West_Cherry_6998 Joyboy theory
900 years ago joyboy is born. He is the son of the king of the ancient kingdom and the heir to the throne. The ancient kingdom at the time was the biggest and most powerful kingdom in the world due to them having the energy source that is the mother flame. Exit from the kingdom was prohibited much like it was in wano unless you had permission. Growing up joyboy was bored of the life there and was intrigued by the outside world, wanting to leave and explore the unknown. Much like oden he finds his chance to leave and takes it without second thought, resulting in him being disowned and declared the first pirate(the first to sail the seas for his own reasons and without approval). After leaving the kingdom he spent years sailing the world visiting new places and meeting new people. Eventually though he came to realize that unlike the luxurious lives that people at the ancient kingdom were living, the people outside were struggling and living hard lives. After the years of sailing and the realization of what the outside world really is like he decided to return home with the purpose of spreading the most powerful energy source that was the mother flame to the entire world. Returning home he found out that his father had passed away and now on the throne his younger brother imu was sitting. Joyboy was the eldest son but due to him being disowned the heir was imu. Meeting his brother, joyboy tried to convince him that the people outside the kingdom need the mother flame to prosper but imu was completely against it and they had falling out. Joyboy understanding that imu would never agree, the only choice left was to take the mother flame by force. He left the kingdom again and went to find all the friends he made on his journey to ally with him. That included the Kazuki and the land of wano, zunesha, the fishmen and probably others that we don't know so far. News of the army that Joyboy was gathering reached imu who felt that they will be a big threat and maybe a threat to big to handle on his own so he decided to choose the strongest kingdoms and made them an offer so they would stand with him, which the kingdoms accepted and they are the same kingdoms that would later form the world government. The war between the armies led by joyboy and imu happened and in the end joyboy was defeated but not before acquiring the mother flame and placing it on a safe place(laugh tale) but before he was able to distribute the flame to the world he was defeated. Before he died though he used his allies that were the Kozuki to write down everything that transpired on the unbreakable stones that became the poneglyphs. The queen of the king of alabasta at the time Nefertari Lily who had sided with imu, realized the reason that joyboy was doing everything and with a change of heart she helped joyboy to preserve the information of what happened for the next generations. Lily spread the poneglyphs with the information of the void century throughout the world and joyboy entrusted the four poneglyphs that hold the location of laugh tale to his most trusted allies, one was zounesha, one was the kozuki, one was the mairmeid princess who alongside the road poneglyph received a poneglyph with joyboy's apology and we don't know who had the poneglyph that big mom had in the current timeline. After the war ended and the ancient kingdom lost its energy source they couldn't keep being as powerful as they were before on their own so alongside the other kigndoms that stood against joyboy they formed the world government that we know today.
