2024.05.29 05:58 purple_girl_3 Bachelorette party staycation drama
Am I wrong for not wanting to attend a bachelorette party when the MOH is refusing to share the itinerary until the first of two payments is received? This was a last minute plan and none of the planning was discussed with invitees before the lodging was booked and activities secured. I'm told we are staying the weekend at an airbnb local to the majority of guests invited. The MOH has sent out only individual texts, so I don’t know who else is going or how many people this is split between. I don’t know exactly what I am paying for, what time anything starts, or how this total was calculated. We are also being told we are to cover the cost of the private space for a bridal shower brunch. I’ve never, in my 5 times of being a bridesmaid, been asked to cover the cost of the bridal shower (I’m not even a bridesmaid in this wedding, just a bachelorette guest)! Am I expected to also buy a gift for the shower? Would it be wrong if I only attended the brunch or skipped the entire weekend? I asked the MOH for the itinerary, lodging info, and cost breakdown and she gave the following numbers but said she will not share full details until 1st payment is received. Cost breakdown is to cover the bride and split between an unknown # of guests. Info I was given is:
Activity $40
Lodging $350
Bridal shower $100
Shirt $20
Extra $50-100 for food/drinks
What would you do???

2024.05.29 05:58 FloppyBisque Wu Tang is for the apes! A follow-up to my last post about our upcoming NFT dividend.
 | Yo, a lot of people liked the Wu Tang find earlier today. I wish I could shout out the OG Korean ape who posted and who's shoulders I stood on when I made my last post. submitted by FloppyBisque to Superstonk [link] [comments] Another software engineer wrote up a good post about how this is either a nothing burger (I don't think it is), a grift (Pleasr strongly disagrees with this), or the biggest piece of hype in the whole saga. I showed him something new and this other ape, without being led there, came to the same conclusion I did, so I feel comfortable sharing this now. I am back to argue that I think it is the third option. This is the biggest piece of hype in the whole saga. Many people were asking "what if I don't have a wallet" or "what about people who have no idea how to use web3". I think I have the answer. A few apes have been URL hunting trying to see if we can hit any other endpoints on thealbum.com. One of them succeeded and found this. https://thealbum.com/gme https://preview.redd.it/oqcgq5n7ba3d1.png?width=2156&format=png&auto=webp&s=e82955d583453b98b7ac9344219193686ba446b1 Obligatory, ignore Robinhood. It was always going to be necessary as long as people hold shares there. And whether we like it or not, RH is involved and I would imagine that many people that hold in RH are OG apes. They probably have never sold and just checked out after the fuckery that went down. Now, back to the good stuff. If you click on Connect Robinhood, it brings open a popup that looks like it wants to use Plaid to integrate. I decided to bust out our trusty browser developer tools and see what I could find. What I found and what I concluded is exactly what the other software engineer ape mentioned to me when I showed them this URL. https://preview.redd.it/5nin6f14ca3d1.png?width=2366&format=png&auto=webp&s=b837fb5550ad14d473d6bbeb33e1a1b81c76c270 They are using a company called Privy. Why is this a big deal? Well, look for yourself. Onboard all of your users to web3. How do they do this? Airdrop. Does that sound familiar? It might. And that's probably because we've talked about this in this sub before, back when GameStop was clearly in their testing phase of their NFT marketplace. Cyber Crew actually posted about it and used it. What are crypto airdrops? Essentially, to this point, they have been a marketing strategy used by blockchain projects to distribute crypto coins or NFTs to large number of wallet addresses. Airdrops are typically used to promote awareness of the project, or perhaps reward loyal community members. Here’s how they generally work:
https://preview.redd.it/f2s5633tca3d1.png?width=1738&format=png&auto=webp&s=5eeafb66c03c908c2ae3be03fc4519f12d8e4a1c This feels like the perfect time to use Privy if RC and Pleasr are trying to give out Once Upon A Time In Shaolin out to GME holders. Oh look, here's what Privy says on their site. https://preview.redd.it/8f7x1wraea3d1.png?width=1500&format=png&auto=webp&s=5ea4ebf1e08ebbdb152b43cceb211d6bc9a59594 A web2-caliber UX? What does that mean? Well, Web2 is the version of the internet where people can create and share content on social media and websites. It’s all about interacting with others online. If you are old enough to remember Web1, that was when websites were just static places you can visit. So Web1 is this: Static HTML and CSS: https://preview.redd.it/rych8zv0fa3d1.png?width=1018&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ba9cc2e7228fe1cd37f84849fdb7e0aa9f7954c Web 2 is like Reddit. It's interactive. I can post, edit, delete, etc. Web3 is the next version of the internet where people use blockchain to own and control their data. It makes online activities more secure and decentralized. To this point, it has been very hard to use and that's why we haven't seen mass adoption. Privy makes it feel like Web2 with Web3 underlying tech. They are going to make it so we basically just login to our brokerages or wallets depending on what you have, and you will be able to listen to your brand new, exclusive, NFT Wu Tang album. Oh, and shorties, each album is going to be specific to each one of our shares. You know, the 351,000,000 shares that are the only ones that exist. And if it just so happens that 300,000,000,000 shares exist, you'll have to close those shorts because you won't be able to deliver our NFT dividends because you can't counterfeit that, and I don't know about the rest of you apes, but I am DEFINITELY going to want to listen to my album and I will not accept a cash replacement like they did with Overstock. Also, fuck you, I'm not selling. So you aren't getting my copies. This is how you protect yo neck. Check mate bitches. I'll see y'all on Uranus. https://preview.redd.it/6ledc9n2ha3d1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=1e617eb1f0ea3a7ab5be42e039e0515d38d2081f |
2024.05.29 05:57 Averagewtplayer Stalkers/Hunters
Yeah, i’m ranting about enemy types again.
STALKERS
The issue i have with stalkers is their numbers, and attack speed. Something people don’t seem to mention a lot is that those fuckers attack stupidly fast. The amount of times that i’ve seen a stalker attack 6 or 7 times without stopping is dumb. And there’s always at least 3 of them on you at all times. And there’s always at least one stalker lair per mission (in my experience) so that always ends up making me want to die.
I wish i had the video but since i play on Playstation and never record my gameplay naturally, i don’t. Anyway, there were 3 lairs next to each other (diff 7) and we had our reinforcement budget depleted within 4 or 5 minutes.
One last thing to mention about stalkers is when the hit you with the tongue attack, the fall damage feels amplified. I could jump off a cliff and take no damage but when a stalker launches me 2 feet to the right i immediately die.
HUNTERS
These little shits spawn way too often for what they are. Sure, they have little health, but they also spawn in numbers that are too big for my tiny brain to count. These stalker wanna-be’s can, just like stalkers, attack numerous times without stopping. Combine that with their absurd jump distance and an attack that slows you, and you’ve got one big pile of undemocratic unrefined E-710.

2024.05.29 05:57 Newfoundlander_in_TX Funny stoned Subway Stories
I’m 43. My teenage years, like most normal adolescents growing up in the 90s, largely revolved around playing video games, watching movies, going to the mall and eating junk. Subway was our junk food of choice - affordable, filling and delicious. We would regularly stop at our local subway on the weekend nights for a quick fix.
Subway would often run a meatball sub promo during this time. BOGO 6”. The sub alone was $3.99 CAD. A footlong for under $5. What a time to be alive. When there were no promos, we would buy bologna or peperoni rounds. Cost effective and delicious.
This one night me and my pals are starving, pretty high, and a little drunk . We walk in salivating at the thought of meatball subs. It felt like Christmas.
We lined up and proceeded to order our subs one after the other. The last of our crew, probably the most inebriated of the bunch, waited patiently, stumbling, gazing contently at the menu. His turn finally arrived.
Sandwich artist: “Hi! What can I make for you?”
Stoned/Drunk friend: “FOOTBALL!”
Taken aback, the employee wasn’t sure how to respond. We are in knots laughing knowing full well what he meant and what he wanted.
“Excuse me?” Said the employee.
“Football?!” My friend repeated, standing there staring at the artist confused, not realizing he isn’t saying Footlong Meatball.
It was a good 10 minutes before the laughing stopped. Eventually he got his sandwich.
To this day, whenever I drive past a subway, all I can think about is “FOOTBALL!”

2024.05.29 05:57 Electronic_Yam_7163 Can I fix things and get back together?
I (F24) recently got out of a year long relationship w my ex gf (F35) back in March. When we first took a break, I felt like she was the one who wasn’t pulling through and providing and it turns out I was the one that was failing her. She wanted our conversations to be natural, fun, creative, etc. but to her they felt forced and prompted, she wanted us to have a more natural flow to things. It was understandable as it was something that used to be natural but I’ve come to miss. After we took our break, she even said that she just had this gut feeling it was supposed to be us at the end of the day and that she couldn’t shake it. I thought that my conversational skills were improving and that we were getting to a better place but at the end of April, she told me she thought we should stop trying to get back together and I was absolutely blind sided. She wants to stay friends but thinks we should have time and space (it’s been about 2.5 weeks since we’ve been trying to give each other space) but I’ve been struggling with that. I’ve been trying my hardest but I’ve admittedly texted her a few times… I was speaking emotionally and told her I wish we never dated. I didn’t mean it and I would never mean it. I just got tired of her knowing I was upset and I was trying to hide my pain from her by gaslighting myself into thinking I didn’t care. I apologized for that and more but she hasn’t replied (it’s understandable I didn’t expect her to reply). I messed up big time and I want her back bc i have a solid plan at figuring out how to fix my conversations. It’s such a small and simple request that I feel is not a lot to ask for I just didn’t know how to go about it before. I love her so much and ,although my previous words regretfully do not show that, I know I can be better for her. She said she’s tired of going in circles and that there’s nothing I can do to fix it but I feel like she said that because she thinks I’m incapable of changing. I know I can change and I would do anything she asked if it meant we’d get back together. As stupid as it sounds, I’d get on the guardians of the galaxy ride or incredicoaster at DCA if it meant she’d come back. To outsiders that may sound stupid and easy but she’d understand the weight behind that.. I just need one more chance to prove to her that we can do it. I fucked up so bad.. do you think I can fix it? What should I do?
TL;DR: My gf and I broke up and I was a bit harsh and rude via text. I know I can change and want her back…

2024.05.29 05:56 anabananna1 My (28F) boyfriend (29M) told me he is losing faith in us and his feelings have gone down and basically left it up to me to continue our relationship after we had an argument. I don’t know what to do?
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2.5 years at this point. We did briefly break up for about a month and a half earlier this year but we both realized we wanted to be with each other. The reason we broke up, was because he ended up losing his job, and he went a week without speaking a word to me. Prior to this, I have noticed communication issues with him. There were multiple occurrences of me trying to get ahold of him without being able to reach him. And usually on days we had plans. He also tends to shut down when he’s having a rough day and it takes me calling him/texting him multiple times just to get a response. I was slowly starting to grow resentful of this. So, when he went a week without speaking to me, I just couldn’t be with him. And, I broke up with him.
I missed him terribly but was also focusing on myself and trying to heal myself from the relationship. Then, he called me 1.5 months later and we talked on the phone for 3 hours. I’m not going to lie, the words got to me. He apologized for the way he handled things. For going that long without speaking to me. He told me we are a team and we can get through anything together. So, I decided to give it another shot. And it was great. For almost 2 months, we were in absolute bliss. Communication was great, we hardly argued, I wasn’t feeling anxious about not hearing from him.
Then, last week, we had an argument. We had made plans to meet up in the city, get lunch and take cute photos throughout the city. It was his idea but I was really looking forward to it because we have never done anything like this. He texted me that morning saying we need to reschedule the our time because he needed to take his sister to the ER. I didn’t know the reason why he had to take his sister so I wasn’t sure if it was serious or not. I responded saying “hope everything is okay, keep me updated”. And then I hadn’t heard from him all day. I called him, texted him and nothing asking for an update. He then updates me, 9 hours later that his sister fell and hit her head. I expressed my concern and wished for her speedy recovery. I then asked him to call me when he had chance. He calls, and we talked for about 10 minutes. He said sorry for not saying anything and that his phone was on silent and didn’t want to talk to anyone and that he couldn’t focus on anything else.
I’m not mad that he couldn’t meet up, obviously his sister is injured. It’s the communication. I had to take the day off of work so we could do this. Our work schedules never align because we work opposite schedules so this was the only option. When he was texting me later that night, I never brought up why I felt upset. I just asked him how his sister was doing, he said she’s doing better and I told him I was glad she was better. I’m not gonna lie, I was giving short responses and he sensed it and asked me if I was upset I could tell him. So, I did exactly what he asked. He apologized for wasting my day. Which I appreciated. And this is something I know I should have just let go because he was in an emergency situation. I think I was just so frustrated because this has happened numerous times in the past and he promised me communication would be the one thing he would work on. And, I specifically said this to him too because he asked me to tell him if I was upset. He took is as me being mad we couldn’t meet up and he basically said our plans matter more than his sister being in the hospital. Which, again was not the case.
We got into a pretty heated argument about this. So much miscommunication happened. He wasn’t understanding me and I wasn’t understanding him. I apologized to him about not being more understanding. He then said a few things that really bothered me. He said every time we have gotten into an argument before, he basically loses faith in our dating and his feelings for that person goes down. He also said it was up to me to keep the relationship going. That if I wanted to still date, that he has no problems with it but that our future is not guaranteed. I asked him what he meant by this and he basically said that looking back at the arguments we had, he doesn’t know if he would be able to take it to the next step (talking about marriage and whatnot).
We have gotten into arguments before and yes, it does get mentally draining. But, my feelings for him have never changed. And for him to basically leave it up to me to decide, to say our future isn’t guaranteed really upset me. He’s essentially telling me he will be okay if we break up. I can’t imagine not being with him. I feel afraid almost that if we get into another argument, he’ll say these things to me. I almost feel like I am walking on eggshells around him and I don’t want to live like that. And he’s telling me he can potentially take it to the next step only if we don’t argue or have disagreements and that’s an unrealistic expectation.
After this argument, we both took a few days to cool down. One of his friends from out of state came to visit and he asked me if I wanted to hang out with them both. So, we went out and had lunch and spent time in the city. And, he was being completely normal with me. He was being affectionate, holding my hand and hugging me and kissing me. Which is honestly not what I was expecting. I wasn’t expecting him to invite me out let alone be affectionate to me. I still wanted to talk to him about the situation. To be honest, I am not sure how to even talk to him and what to say. Sometimes I have a hard time articulating what I want to say which is why I want to get some advice. I also want to know if this is something worth saving, just based on what he said. I honestly don’t know what to do.

2024.05.29 05:56 SaltyAqua77 So here's how much I paid to get my motorcycle fixed, what lessons should I learn moving forward?
So I bought a 2007 vstar 1100 with less than 7k miles on it cash for 3k. Insurance is $100 a month. Registration less than $250.
So far I changed both tires, first one needing to tow for $300. I don't remember how much but probably close to $1000 for both tires. I also changed the brakes.
Then apparently the fuel pump went bad which supposedly also cause some electrical issues to happen which my mechanic says I got lucky the bike didn't go into flames.
So, towing bike to mechanic: $150 + fuel pump $190 + labor $500 = $840. That a lot of money. I would feel more comfortable if everything ended up being around $340. I don't know how honest the mechanic was. He said electric work took 3 hours, another work 5 hours, it should be around $800-900 but I will just charge you $500. I think he might have played me to not bargain but there's not much I can do anyway.
I'm new to adulting, so how should I view this emergency? Shrug off the $840 as consequences of life and "this is why I work, to roll through emergencies like this" (108k salary, is the $840 still bad?). If I shouldn't shrug it off, what should I do next time? I felt the need to get it towed right away, felt pressed for time because I have a full time job without much free time, I would never figure out what happened to the bike on my own (I spent 2-3 hours just trying to start up the bike already, and exhausted).
I'm going to go ahead an accept that $500 possibly was reasonable for labor because they figured out what was wrong. But I'm also already he tricked me and it was a minor cleaning thing and he made me buy a new fuel pump to pretend. And maybe it was a 5 minute fix I couldn't figure out?
I jut need life advice. Hopefully this $840 issue was a rare thing and these type of things don't happen often with bikes. I don't know. But now I feel like things will keep happening but thankfully I am safe.

Backstory with my family; I (25y M) , grew up as a military brat with one brother and mom and dad. My dad was always gone during the first 10 years of my life in Iraq and Afganistan. Year long deployments usually , and when he returned home it felt really awkward and we didn't talk... just kind of avoided each other. I never felt like he really liked me or my brother all that much. I made me unsure of how to act around older men for a long time... But from the perspective of a kid I thought him and my mom were like any other parents.
I didn't realize how him being in and out of my life effected me and my brother until we were older and out of the house. Constant moving to duty stations, starting over every 3 years, and an emotionally absent father can take a toll on a young boy. As a result I became very socially awkward and with guys and especially girls. To the point were I physically COULD NOT look people in the eye. Perhaps because whem my father would get mad he would stare at me in silence with a look that pierced my soul. It took years to hold eye contact with anyone (any body else have that problem?). My family is very awkward as well , my mom usually spoke for most of us in social settings , I guess my brother and I took after my dad's quiet demenour.
For me my childhood was best spent AWAY from home , usually crashing and my friends houses for days on end. If I was home , we all just kind of did our own thing in separate room... never ate together, at most watched TV sometimes. I spend most of my time locked away in my room once school got out or until I saw my friends again, same with my brother
Fast forward to turning 18, I enlisted in the army and got out of the house. Strangley enough my dad cried he day I left for basic , I guess I wasn't expecting much more than a goodbye hug. But that lead us to start talking more often than I ever had as a kid , which was kind of cool and also a little strange to get used to. After about 2-3 years of developing the relationship we never had , one day I get a phone call...
I thought it would be like our normal "how's life"? Or monthly chit chat we started doing. But OH NO... this wasn't that. He calls me and were talking like normal and he says "I'm glad we could bond over the past few years, I'm sorry I wasn't always there for you". I said "me too. And don't worry I've delta with it already". And he said "glad to hear , now can I trust you with a secret?". Didn't know what to expect... I said sure you can. "I'm going to divorce your mom in a few months , once you and your brother moved out it wasn't the same and I'm not happy".
Just silence... , what the he'll can a 20 year old guy who just recently formed a bond with his dad supposed to say??
To wrap the story up , no.. I didn't tell my mom. I was frozen with keeping his trust and our bond , but also not wanting to be the one to tell her. In the end , she found out I knew the two months before it happened and hasn't been the same since. She used to the mom who was the life of the party , but now she cries almost evryday since it happend (4 years now). She said she hated me for the first year . So that severed me and hers relationship and were just now starting to recover from it. I barely speak to my dad now , maybe 1 or twice every 3-5 months... that bond when down the funding gutter in the end lol..
On top of that , my dad moves back to his hometown where all his family lives. He told my brother he slept with like 12 women from dating apps (cool flex I guess) and is now engaged to a single mom with 2 teenagers. Apparently they go on vacations and hangout more than we ever did as a kid. Most days I really don't give a shit about any of it , but there's days (especially bad ones) were I consumes my thoughts and I feel like a piece of shit for never telling my mom and how his new family gets the dad I always wanted him to be. On top of if i had told her how things might have ended better. My dad also wants me to come visit and meet his new family eventually... fuck that... I'd be happy to never see them ever. So if you made it though all of that , AITA for telling my mom his plan?

2024.05.29 05:55 sunnylane28 Bedtime struggles make me feel like a failure
We’ve pretty much always struggled with bedtime with our little one and I swear I’ve tried e v e r y t h i n g. She’s 3.5 and I just want it to get better because i feel like I’m failing in this area.
We tried “sleep training” in her first year of life and if anyone could have willed it to work it would have been me. I tried so hard and it never took, and part of me feels like it messed her up. But since she was around 1 we stopped any cio so I feel like that should have passed by now.
The issue is that basically nothing calms her down. She doesn’t nap anymore (since right before age 3) so praise the lord she sleeps through the night FINALLY (and by that I mean she’ll still wake occasionally from a dream or something). But leading up to bedtime takes FOREVER and she just doesn’t calm tf down. The only time bedtime is “quick” is if we’ve had a seriously active day (like spending 4+ hours outside, major socializing, etc) and that is just not feasible other than maybe one weekend day a week. She’ll spend the day at daycare, I take her to a playground afterward, and play games/puzzles at home and rough house and it’s still not enough.
We’ve adjusted schedules, pushed bedtime earlier and later, done a quick routine, fast routine, low lights, calm routine, rough housing to get out extra energy, you freaking name it. She wants me to stay in her room with her, and I have no problem laying and supporting her to sleep IF she actually went to sleep. I cannot for the life of me continue to lay there for 30 to 60 minutes every single night while she just dicks around. Ive tried to leave the room but she won’t have it and I’m not comfortable with locking her in there.
Also idk if it’s cruel but when she kicks/hits/ otherwise isn’t settling down I tell her that I’ll take away her favorite stuffed animal. When I end up doing so she’s sooo upset and I feel terrible, but it’s also the only thing that she seems to care about. But then again, after weeks of implementing that she still struggles every night so it’s not like she remembers that I took away her stuffie and behaves better another night.
Idk if I’m looking for advice or solidarity or success stories, just need to get it out there.

2024.05.29 05:53 MountainNo6565 I (17M) feel neglected and lied to by my (16F) girlfriend, have I been communicating wrong?
Well, I’m not exactly sure where to start since I am not really a reddit user and I have no idea what i’m even getting myself into. Me and my GF have been together for almost 10 months, and although we’re not in our 20s or anything yet, I don’t plan on this being some sort of short relationship, In general, we both do love eachother and love spending time with eachother, we try to fufill each others needs in every way we can but it’s been difficult recently. Throughout most of the relationship the problems have kind of gotten to me, I try my best to be the best partner I can, I text her all throughout the day with random thoughts or what i’m doing and if i’m going to be busy doing something i’ll text her to make sure she knows, I try to always be available to talk or text even if I’m at work, and I also try my best to keep my schedule open for anything that can happen between us, whether she wants to have a little bit of time in the morning before I go into work, or if she wants to spend time together on my days off etc etc. At the same time though she doesn’t really do the same, throughout the relationship there’s been a consistent trend of less and less towards me that i’ve noticed and had multiple conversations about, we used to have all day together and would end up being together until about 9:30/10:00 (at the time she was at her local high school and was not very busy though) and would have normally 3/4 days a week together, throughout that time we would talk a lot and facetime at night (or just call), and she would text me throughout the day (she did always do this weird thing though where I would text her stuff but she just wouldn’t respond to it, she still does it), now we are at the point where we only really have one day a week (sundays), she doesn’t text very much throughout the day and sometimes i’ll be able to call to say goodnight before she falls asleep once i get home from work (9:00PM) but that’s about it. Everything in my brain points me towards her falling out of love or losing feelings, but every time we have talked about it she always tells me about how much she loves me and that she just cannot talk or call because she is exhausted or tired (she’s currently sick with a weird mix of actual sickness aswell as her body responding to old trauma which is causing the exhaustion), but I just can’t seem to accept it as an excuse as even when she wasn’t at a point where she was drained and exhausted every day she still wouldn’t talk much or do very much.
I know this post is kind of all over the place it’s just difficult to try and explain this situation as there’s been tiny problems coming up for about 7 months now and it’s hard to remember very small stuff. I have made it clear to her that i’m not asking her to just suddenly start to completely change her behavior and talk and text me all of the time and all of that, it’s just that 90% of my day she’s not there at all and i’m not apart of her life at all, at the core of it, every time we talk about all of these problems she says that she loves me and that she wants to do this and that but when it comes down to it she only really does it if there’s no excuse whatsoever to not do it. For example, she’s said a bunch that it would be great to be able to just relax and fall asleep cuddling and wake up next to eachother holding eachother in the morning, we used to fall asleep cuddling watching movies but I can’t sleepover very much so that would be short lived, anyways recently we had my prom and her mother said that it would be reasonable for us to sleepover at her house, by the time we were actually in bed and going to sleep she kinda just rolled over and put her back towards me, I tried to ask if we could cuddle or change positions etc etc etc but if we did it would last about 5 minutes until she rolled back over with her back towards me, the day after she just said that it was because she was exhausted and drained from the day but in my mind it just doesn’t make sense, if she says she wants to cuddle and then has the opportunity to do so why wouldn’t she? it’s not just this she does it all of the time, it just doesn’t make sense and it hurts, I tried talking to her about it however she essentially just said that she just cannot due so because of how sick she is. I just need some sort of advice on what else to do in this situation, I don’t have long before college and I cannot be in this relationship if I am going to be ignored pretty much all day and then MAYBE if i’m lucky get to be with her a day or two during the weekend. I’m sure I am missing a lot of information and a lot of the story so I will gladly respond to any replies with more information that’s more directed towards their thoughts / take. Honestly there’s just too many little problems to fix and they’ve only gotten bigger and bigger as nothing has changed for months. Please, If you have any sort of advice or opinion or questions just tell me.

2024.05.29 05:53 0rmax Deep meditations after TRE, is anyone else experiencing this?
So I've been at it for only two weeks now. I seem to have found something that is working for me where I do around 2-3 minutes a day (sometimes more than once a day), making sure to "integrate" afterwards for atleast 5 minutes. My integration is basically just savasana, I just lay there and relax, making sure I am comfortable.
When I have time or before bed I have been doing a longer savasana (20-30 minutes) and these have been some of the deepest meditation experiences I've ever had. I can feel energy coursing through my body, almost losing awareness of my body at the same time, and feeling this incredible warmth spread through my fingers. Today the warmth spread through my chest/ throat area, down my arms and all the way down my legs and I felt completely weightless. When I got up from my savasana I felt this lightness around my eyes and it felt like I had just rested for hours.
Just curious if anyone has a similar process or has had similar experiences?

2024.05.29 05:53 ExplanationCurrent78 Bumble for friends: Meet IRL on App Store suggestions
My girlfriend was searching an app on the appstore and I noticed on the bottom that there were suggested apps shown, one of them being bumble for friends: meet IRL. I confronted her about it and she said it’s random and she didn’t even know why it appeared. I wondered why it appeared so I downloaded bumble and deleted it later and I saw it on my App Store suggestions right after. Is she lying? I told her to try to log in with her phone number and there was not account for bumble for friends, however I’m not sure if it’s the same account for the main bumble app. Is this a sign she may have downloaded other dating apps? We have been together for 5 years so it’s frustrating to think she downloaded it before we were dating.

2024.05.29 05:52 Miserable_Vanilla629 Me 17M having facing trouble to Build Lasting Conversations with 17F
I'm a 17-year-old guy having trouble keeping conversations with women going. I'm good at starting a conversation and extending it with questions and small jokes, but it usually ends after about 5 minutes. I always feel like I'm annoying them or forcing myself into their space.
For example, I had a crush on a girl from the rugby team. I saw her walking with a broken leg and asked what happened. She said she fractured it while getting tackled. We talked for about 5 minutes, but then there was silence, and I said I had to leave. Later that day, I added her on Snapchat. She added me back, but left me on delivered for five days. Eventually, we snapped back and forth, building a seven-day streak, but then she stopped snapping me and left me on delivered for a couple of days, so I unfriended her. I still like her but thought it was best not to approach her again.
Whenever I see her in the halls, I don't know what to do. Do I approach her, or would that be creepy? Can I salvage this situation, or is it over? How can I build upon previous conversations and make interactions more natural and memorable? Keep in mind I told one of her friends that I liked her and she told me that she would help me out but now am scared that she already told her. Where do I go from now , how do I build apon the last Convo, we have lots of similarities like we like the same band. but she is a bit different she parties outside of school yet I don’t, she was seen on a dating app and I know that she is talking to 2 guys rn and most importantly how could I turn a small convo even if it was nice into a relationship.

2024.05.29 05:52 Most_Outcome_4733 Should I end things with him?
I am 24f and he’s 27m
I used to be so into this guy I'm talking to that I met on a dating app. We've been talking for almost two months, and he's been very sweet and amazing to me. However, since last week, he's been acting all 'casual' towards me, like I'm one of his guy friends, and not in a sweet, gentle way. He doesn't even ask about my day anymore and doesn't send good morning/good night texts. He used to call me sweetie, babe, baby, and now he doesn't. He just talks about how his day went and doesn't seem to care about mine anymore. He now prioritizes gaming with friends while responding 30 minutes to 1 hour each message (sometimes 2 hours).
I don't like being talked to this way, and as much as I still like him, I know that telling him this won't make it any better. A little background - He used to comfort me and assure me that he would listen (he used to and did), but we had a talk one time, and he said he couldn't handle conversations like this every day. I used to feel really good and safe talking to him, and now I just always feel sick to my stomach.
I want to let go of him, but I don't know how. I feel like he's also been withdrawing subtly, which is why he's like this. Please help.
