While I haven’t been formally diagnosed with PCOS due to a lack of insurance, I exhibit most of the symptoms. The hirsutism, for me, has to absolutely be the most damaging one of all. Personally, it’s very severe and nothing, whether it be shaving, waxing, epilating, etc., seems to make a single dent. For the record: I’m 20 and have not worn short sleeves in over ten years… nor skirts, dresses, shorts, sleeveless tops, or basically anything that isn’t a jacket, sweatshirt, and jeans/sweats. I’m dark haired as well so it makes it even more noticeable, plus i’ve got horrible acne all over my chest and back so i’m basically a freak of nature. To top it off, i’ve got deformed (tubular) breasts, a known symptom of PCOS, and that’s just the fucking cherry on top. For once in my life i’d just like to feel like a normal, natural woman that can wear tank tops, dresses, etc. Hell maybe it wouldn’t be as bad if my family/coworkers didn’t question me about it. I live in Texas where the heat is fucking abominable, so just imagine going out in a sweatshirt of all things. I just constantly feel like i’m walking around with this disgusting secret swarming barely underneath my clothes. Additionally, I cannot possibly foresee a future in which I can afford laseelectrolysis despite the severe stress that this causes me. I’m constantly getting comments like “aren’t you hot?” while wearing a jacket/sweater and it’s like… yes the fuck I am but what else am I supposed to do? Never mind the older ladies at work that tell me I need to wear what I want and enjoy my youth while I can lmfao like if only you knew. Overall, it just seems to me that nobody can possibly begin to understand what it’s like. It’s so isolating.

I just found out that all court records are accessible to the public online. (Call me stupid but I didn’t know until now) I guess I might have known but I didn’t realize that applied to small claims for some reason. Anyway, I cannot afford a lawyer and call the small claims office and they basically said too bad all cases are public by law. For privacy reasons I would like this to not be made public (at least my name) I am the claimant so I’m not the one who did something wrong but It is an extremely personal matter that most my friends and family do not know about and I have not built up the courage to tell them. But one quick google search of my name and there it is. I can’t imagine how devastating for me for example if I started dating someone and they looked me up to see these records of what I’ve been through, it’s extremely personal. Not to mention there is someone I used to know who has been trying to locate me and I don’t feel safe having information with my name and city I live in just floating around for this person to find. I can’t afford a lawyer and tried to contact the legal help centre with no avail. Is there anything I can do?

Lots of lore included, but theres also a TL;DR 😂 I have been friends with this person for several years now. I have been slowly trying to distance myself for them, but recently find it necessary to put an actual end to our friendship. Their passive aggression & self centeredness has been a problem for the entirety of our friendship. I feel as though we have all had those “friends” that make us feel as though we are walking on eggshells, or only talk about themselves and when you are able to get a word in edgewise, they bring the conversation back to themselves. I have tried to address their passive aggression in the past, attempting to dig deeper and open a line of honest/safe communication when they have clearly been upset about something. They essentially were unreceptive and blew me off. Honestly, due to their unhealthy communication habits, I’ve been hesitant to even broach the conversation of their tendency to dominate the conversation and not be curious about me or my life. When they talk about previous friendships that have ended, it’s because the friends had the same issues I’m currently grappling with. When they retell these happenings, they seem as though they aren’t practicing introspection and throw the blame on the other party. This further affirms my belief that trying to communicate these problems would be futile. There’s been a string of events recently that helped me realize this friendship is no longer worth repairing. I have known this friend for YEARS and I’m very familiar with the ins and outs of their life. A couple months ago, they asked me if my partner was in construction. They are in insurance 😂 I have been with them since BEFORE our friendship, and have always shared their careers wins and woes with them. It’s baffling they would forget something like that. About a week ago, they sent me a text that verbatim said “Omg. Wasn’t your old best friend that fucked you over ____ ? They’re married to one of my work besties and they were stranded off a highway so I picked them up. Wtf I like them??? What happened with you guys I can’t remember!!!” My relationship with the person they are referencing was extremely hurtful to me. I learned a lot about myself and friendships in general from that wound. We were both mutually toxic to each other. This incident was a major event in my life, as it inspired me to “do the work” both for myself, and others. The whole reason I met my friend is because I was putting myself out there after what I had experienced, so I know I have discussed this event with them at length. Most recently, this passive aggression and vindication is affecting my family. Their job includes interacting with the public, and they have taken it upon themselves to be extremely petty and unkind to a family member of mine because of an interaction that left them with a sour taste in their mouth. These series of events have assured me that severing ties with this friend is the best route for everyone involved. I expect them to try and contact me soon, as my family member filed a report against them. This is the response I have preemptively crafted: “At this point, I feel like it is in mine and my family’s best interest that we go our separate ways. There has been communication issues burdening our friendship for a long time now, and I don’t foresee them being resolved. I don’t wish you ill, and I hope you can pay the same consideration to me and my loved ones. “ I feel that they will most likely want to continue the conversation. My question is, would it be hurtful of me to not respond? I feel as though a “post mortem” of our friendship would not only open old wounds, but foster resentment for both of us. I do not feel as though it will truly benefit either of us to continue the conversation further afterwards, but I am wanting to hear other points of view before committing to this decision. I definitely do expect them to respond, as they have every right and reason to. I just want to know if it would be shitty of me to not offer further insight into my feelings/decision if that’s what they’re wanting?
TL;DR Passive aggressive friend with a tendency towards vindication has recently acted out a string of events that have not hurt only me, but my family as well. I’m wondering if it would be a crappy move to not respond after sending a singular message expressing my intention to end the friendship.

I'm (27F) currently finishing up my 2nd semester of trade school in AZ, USA for CAD/Machining. Currently only really know basic solidworks, autocad, drafting basics, and NC3 material. I'll be doing more solidworks, GD&T, inspection, and basic electromechanical design this next semester.
There's so much overlap in the programs that I should be able to make it out with associates in CAD and machining, and certs in inspection, parametric modeling, and CNC within the next couple years.
Is there anything you wish you had known early on (trade school, early apprenticing, etc)? I've heard from instructors that they tend to push women into quality, do you find this is an issue/common (I think I'd like inspection, personally)? Any certs you found that didn't benefit you professionally, if any, or any certs you'd recommend? Anyone with ADHD, how do you think it affects your work, if at all?
Open to any other tips, anecdotes, company insights (my city has Raytheon, Sargent, Johns Manville as the biggest hires)

Me (32F) and my best friend (34M) have been friends for about 14 years. We used to do everything together and see each other about 4 times a week. We were and still are known in our city to always show up together — he really feels like my brother.
4 years ago he graduated and I was really excited to be there for him. I arranged to have a huge bouquet of flowers ready and see his family again. Last minute, he decided to not invite me. Turned out that he could only bring 2 friends and he chose to have the friends from his class there since they knew everyone. This is what really hurt my feelings and where things turned around.
I’m a very sensitive person, I must admit, but also very loyal and dedicated. I’m expressive in how much I love my friends and love to hug or call my friends nicknames. He never really does this to me, but I thought it was just him being slightly autistic (he really is) and I accepted it. The thing is, the last few years he added a lot of female friends to his friend group that he does do this to. He is gay and very friendly, most women would love a gay best friend and I felt the competition whenever he would invite other women to hang out with us. They turn their backs to me, not really talk to me or just hang around him all the time and act as if I’m not there. He started inviting them before inviting me or just not hang with me alone anymore.
It happened a few times and I mentioned it a couple times. He told me he noticed, but it keeps happening.
Right now there’s a new friend that he hangs out with a lot and I just see the difference in how he treats her in comparison to me. I can’t help but to feel jealous and I’m ashamed of it. He goes out of his way to be liked by her. I miss being the most important friend to him since I can feel the shift and he still is that person to mess I know he cares about me and I don’t want to make him feel attacked, but I also want to mention it to him. He’s putting way less effort into our friendship than he used to, even though he still wants to see me, and he just kind of acts like I’ll always be there anyway — so why doing your best, basically.
I really don’t know how to approach this. I want to tell him, cause it’s been bothering me, but I also don’t want to make it worse. To me, he’ll be my best friend for the rest of our lives, but the whole situation makes me incredibly sad. Of course he can have other friends, but I don’t want to feel excluded like this and so insignificant.
How do I approach this without making it sound like he’s the problem, but more so like this bothers me and to check how he feels about this?

Hi All,
I’m going through a pretty stressful period at work and I’ve noticed myself pretty visibly stressed in ways that are impactful to my team (not explaining a task to them properly or spending enough time with them for example).
I can imagine this doesn’t fill them with confidence and from my own experience I have most enjoyed working with leaders who are calm in the face of stress - a lot of the time I wouldn’t have even known they were stressed.
Im starting to worry that this is going to be impactful to my leadership journey. I’m a highly emotional person and I can handle pressure at work, but I feel I am cracking under this extreme level of stress.
Has anyone encountered this before? How have you worked on this issue and improved?

I think my best friend may subconsciously want my life. We’re in our 30s now, and I’ve known her since I was 10. I’m married and have 2 kids. After getting married 3 years ago, I moved to California. She still lives in our original state, Massachusetts. She has always been really obsessed with California (even before I moved here) and hates Massachusetts. She’s trying to make it work with a guy who lives in California, but I’m not sure if it’s going to work out. I think he might find her personality overbearing. She hasn’t had much luck with men, but marrying a guy from California has always been her dream.
Even before I moved here, she would vacation on the West Coast and has some friends here. Recently, our old friend group in Massachusetts excluded her from their plans, making her feel left out. She recently attended a wedding in California where many of my (new) friends were invited. She told me she really likes one of my friends, and when I mentioned that this friend had contacted me recently, I sensed a decline in her voice. She asked, “Awww, what did she say?” but I could sense something behind it.
I feel like, in her mind, I am living the life she dreams of. I know she is happy for me and doesn’t hold any ill intentions, but I think she might feel slightly envious. She loves the weather here and believes there are so many more things to do compared to Massachusetts where she was born and raised. She’ll often comment on how cold it is there and how nice the weather must be in California. These comments make me feel a little uncomfortable.
Also, in the past, she has done some slightly messed-up things, which I won’t go into detail about. However, I remember one time in our 20s when she said she was craving making out with someone but didn’t have anyone “available.” We were in the car, and she suggested making out with me. I felt uncomfortable and laughed, thinking she was joking, but she was serious. She was annoyed that I wouldn’t make out with her. I always remember this incident along with everything else I’ve mentioned.
Am I wrong for feeling like this?

This is not an ad, nor a piece to sway you to use AI LLMs (fancy abbreviation for Large Language Models) to do your reading for you...
I'd like you to view this post as a portal to what's coming. More and more people will use the tools in question to summarise lenghty and complex topics to ease their daily struggles. Not everyone has the time to follow the subject thoroughly, on a daily, or even a weekly basis.
Personally, after following "The Subject" for quite a while, and being quite impartial myself, I've ran into the mentioned episode of the GTS...I'm a readewatcher myself, and been playing with AIs recently.
Made me wonder: is current tech, especially LLMs like 4o, capable of being unbiased and as close to the available material as possible? Are there any lines in the sand for those? Any limitations? Forced replies, maybe? Controlled speech?...
I'll leave that up to you to decide in the comments.
Please let me know if you'd like me to run more of these tests, as this is important for future users of this tech, imo. It's coming sooner than we all think and it's paramount that we all keep up with it. Sounds ominous to some extent, but that's the truth.
Btw, 4o advised me to revise this post's format for more karma...bloody thing 😆 Worst part is that it's most probably true 😋 Didn't do it, thought. It's all me. For now, at least...
If you've red so far, here's the conversation I've had. I've used the new voice recognition and reply functionality, so it was an organic experience to me. No edits were made afterwards, except for below transcript. I have an OCD...
It's quite lengthy, though.

OP: One more thing you could do for me on the web is to check the name Ross Coldheart. He's an Australian journalist. I would like to know specifically if he's a credible person based on his work. Can you run that for me?
Searched 5 sources
ChatGPT: Ross Coulthart is a highly credible and well-respected Australian investigative journalist with over three decades of experience. He has won multiple prestigious awards, including five Walkley Awards, which are the highest honors in Australian journalism, as well as the Gold Walkley. His investigative work spans various media outlets, including the Sydney Morning Herald, ABC TV's Four Corners, Nine Network's Sunday program, and 60 Minutes. Coulthart's journalism has uncovered significant stories, such as the Butcher of Bega medical scandal and the complicity in violence in East Timor, both of which earned him international acclaim​ (Wikipedia)​​ (ICIJ)​​ (Ross Coulthart)​.
Coulthart has also authored several best-selling books, such as "Dead Man Running" and "In Plain Sight," which delve into organized crime and UFO phenomena respectively. His rigorous investigative approach and compelling storytelling have established him as a reliable and influential figure in journalism​ (Coast to Coast AM)​.
OP: Could you elaborate more on the book you wrote, the one called In Plain Sight? Could you give me a summary of that book, or some sort of an insight to it?
Searched 2 sources
ChatGPT: Ross Coulthart's book, "In Plain Sight: An Investigation into UFOs and Impossible Science," delves into the phenomenon of UFOs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). The book examines the history and recent developments surrounding UFO sightings, including admissions by the US Department of Defense acknowledging the reality and potential threat of these phenomena. Coulthart investigates by interviewing various experts, witnesses, and officials, uncovering information that suggests possible technological advancements and cultural implications. The book challenges the traditional dismissal of UFOs as mere conspiracy theories and calls for serious inquiry into the subject​ (In Plain Sight Book)​.
OP: Give me a couple of quotes from the book that are the most significant ones.
ChatGPT: Here are two significant quotes from Ross Coulthart's "In Plain Sight":
"I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I’ll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be."
"In 2020, however, after decades of denial, the US Department of Defense made the astonishing admission that strange aerial and underwater objects frequently reported and videoed by pilots and tracked by sensors are real, unexplained, and pose a genuine national security concern."
These quotes highlight Coulthart's commitment to evidence-based investigation and underscore the gravity of the recent official admissions regarding UAPs​ (In Plain Sight Book)​ .
OP: Would you say that the first quote, I believe in evidence, and so on, would be a paraphrasing of Carl Sagan, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence?
ChatGPT: Yes, the quote from Ross Coulthart does indeed reflect a similar sentiment to Carl Sagan's famous assertion that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Both emphasize the importance of rigorous evidence and independent verification, especially when dealing with unusual or extraordinary claims. This alignment with Sagan's principle underscores Coulthart's commitment to a scientific and skeptical approach to the investigation of UFOs and other phenomena.
OP: What are your thoughts on the recent UAP-UFO congressional hearings and all the evidence that has come to light, including the recent Lou Elizondo's claims that there's been threats to his well-being or his family's well-being? What do you think about that?
ChatGPT: The recent UAP-UFO congressional hearings and the increasing transparency from military and government officials mark a significant shift in how these phenomena are addressed. Here's a summary of key points and my perspective on them:
Congressional Hearings and Government Admissions Increased Transparency:
The U.S. government's decision to hold public hearings on UAPs and to admit that these phenomena are real and pose potential national security concerns represents a major change in policy. This shift suggests a growing recognition of the need for serious scientific and security-oriented investigations.
Credible Witnesses:
The hearings have included testimonies from credible witnesses, such as military pilots and intelligence officials, who have observed or analyzed UAPs. Their accounts provide valuable firsthand information and lend credibility to the phenomena being more than just myths or misidentifications.
Lou Elizondo's Claims Threats to Well-Being:
Lou Elizondo, a key figure in bringing UAP issues to public attention, has claimed that there have been threats to his and his family's well-being. If true, these threats could indicate attempts to silence or discredit individuals who push for transparency. This raises concerns about the potential implications for whistleblowers and the culture within military and intelligence communities.
Significance of His Role:
As a former director of the Pentagon's AATIP, Elizondo's insights and experiences are invaluable. His claims suggest that there may be deeper layers of information and potentially classified details that have not yet been disclosed to the public.
Personal Perspective Scientific Inquiry:
The move towards greater transparency and scientific inquiry is crucial. Investigating UAPs with a rigorous, evidence-based approach will help differentiate between natural phenomena, advanced technology from other nations, and genuinely unexplained incidents.
Cultural Shift:
The hearings and increased openness reflect a cultural shift in how we approach unknown phenomena. Moving away from ridicule and towards serious investigation can foster a more informed and rational public discourse.
Security and Ethics:
The claims of threats to individuals advocating for transparency are troubling and highlight the need for protections for whistleblowers. Ensuring their safety is essential for maintaining the integrity of the investigation and encouraging others to come forward with credible information.
In conclusion, the recent developments in UAP investigations, including congressional hearings and testimonies from credible witnesses, signify a positive step towards understanding these phenomena. However, the alleged threats to individuals like Lou Elizondo indicate the complexities and potential resistance within certain circles, underscoring the need for ongoing support and protection for those involved in bringing these issues to light.
OP: Could you draw some parallels between this particular topic and the Watergate scandal?
ChatGPT: Drawing parallels between the current UAP-UFO investigations and the Watergate scandal can help highlight the dynamics of governmental transparency, accountability, and the role of whistleblowers. Here are some key similarities and differences:
Similarities
Government Secrecy and Lack of Transparency:
Watergate:
The Watergate scandal involved a series of illegal activities orchestrated by the Nixon administration, including the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and subsequent cover-up efforts. The administration's secrecy and lack of transparency were central issues.
UAP-UFO Investigations:
For decades, the U.S. government maintained secrecy regarding UAPs, often dismissing or downplaying their significance. Recent admissions and hearings suggest a move towards greater transparency, but past secrecy still looms large.
Role of Whistleblowers:
Watergate:
The scandal unraveled largely due to the efforts of whistleblowers like Mark Felt (Deep Throat), who provided critical information to journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.
UAP-UFO Investigations:
Figures like Lou Elizondo and other insiders have played a similar role, coming forward with information about UAPs and pushing for transparency. Their disclosures have been instrumental in bringing the issue into the public and governmental spotlight.
Media Involvement:
Watergate:
The investigative journalism by The Washington Post was crucial in exposing the scandal, demonstrating the power of the media in holding the government accountable.
UAP-UFO Investigations:
Media coverage has been significant in the UAP-UFO discourse, with outlets like The New York Times publishing detailed reports on the Pentagon's investigations and whistleblowers' claims. Documentaries and news programs have also played a key role in informing the public. Public and Congressional Scrutiny:
Watergate:
The scandal led to extensive congressional hearings and investigations, ultimately resulting in President Nixon's resignation.
UAP-UFO Investigations:
Congressional hearings on UAPs have been conducted to understand the phenomena better and assess their implications for national security. This scrutiny is a step towards greater governmental accountability.
Differences
Nature of the Issues:
Watergate:
Involved clear illegal activities, including burglary, wiretapping, and obstruction of justice, committed by government officials.
UAP-UFO Investigations:
Focus on understanding unidentified phenomena and potential national security threats. The issue is less about illegal activities and more about the need for transparency and scientific investigation.
Immediate Impact:
Watergate:
Had immediate and direct political consequences, including legal actions and the resignation of a sitting president.
UAP-UFO Investigations:
The impact is more gradual, involving shifts in public perception, policy changes, and potentially new scientific discoveries. The immediate political consequences are less direct.
Public Perception and Stigma:
Watergate:
Initially met with disbelief but quickly gained credibility as evidence mounted.
UAP-UFO Investigations:
Long associated with stigma and ridicule, making it harder for the topic to gain serious consideration. Recent shifts in official stance are beginning to change this.
Conclusion
Both the Watergate scandal and the UAP-UFO investigations underscore the importance of transparency, the crucial role of whistleblowers, and the impact of media and public scrutiny in holding governments accountable. While the contexts and nature of the issues differ, the underlying themes of secrecy, the quest for truth, and the demand for governmental accountability resonate in both cases. The evolution of the UAP-UFO investigations may continue to parallel Watergate in promoting greater transparency and accountability, potentially leading to significant changes in public policy and perception."

Looking for someone around 22-31 that lives near NYC
I'm kind of looking for someone like me or tolerant of people who wants to make new friends but suffers from social anxiety. I don't really need to make a crazy amount of friends but eventually at least half a dozen new people I can consider reliable im my life would be the long term goal. I used to be comfortable just going about my day and coming home talking to my online friends, some I've known for more than a decade. Although for a while I've been asked an exhausting amount of times by a few people in my family why I don't hang out with "real friends." A lot of the friends I made either moved a or the ones I met in college who I'm still friends with were a lot like me and prefer to talk online mostly instead of going anywhere. So I'm kind of stuck with not many to show as a friend in person.
I am looking for a girlfriend, but I'm not really expecting to find one here and I'm looking for someone in particular that I'd be massively compatible with so there's no pressure for me asking anyone here out. Let's just focus on building a friendship.
I like to game quite a bit although I've been too busy with a lot of things the past few months to play much at all. Hopefully things will clear up eventually. I got Steam and Switch and some other stuff I havent touched in ages lol. I do enjoy reading sometimes but havent had anything in mind to read, feel free to reccomend something you like if you can.
I'm white, 161 pounds 5'10 looking for someone kind and understanding who isn't intimidating with nerdy interest that I could occasionally hang out with every few weeks in person with a mix of online. I'll need you to be someone who isn't judgemental that I can be my goofy self with. I prefer if you could initiate conversation and talk about yourself so I can get a better idea of who you are and how to approach you. I don't want to ghost anyone if I can help it, just try to hit me up at least every other day and I'll try to return the favor.
I'm also someone who tries to be judgement free that you can talk about your problems with. Pretty funny but not funny looking. I've been dealing with a lot of stress for a while but I've been working to manage it a little bit better so I can try to empathize a bit instead of just sounding you out.
tldr: Nervous mess but nice to look at looking for someone to hang out with in person once in a while after a few weeks of getting to know you.
Please introduce yourself with your age and something you've been getting into lately! (hobbies/interest)

I have a friend I’ve had for almost 6 years now (mostly online). We’ve met up a few times and it’s always incredibly awkward and kinda unpleasant for me.
For context, this person most likely has autism, or something similar. I haven’t asked them about it as I felt it might be rude, but it’s very apparent if you have a conversation with them. I have other friends with autism and we get along great, but this person may be somewhere different on the spectrum than the people I know. They can sometimes be rude and judgmental, even though I’m sure they don’t mean to. They also misunderstand a lot of things I talk about in conversation. I know this isn’t their fault, but it just makes me dread when they want to hang out because I feel I have to walk on eggshells. There’s also just a lot of awkward silence for two people who have known each other for 6 years. This in no way means I don’t want to be friends with them just because they have autism, I just think their personality +that extra difficulty in understanding and communicating makes it hard for me to enjoy hanging out with them.
They constantly post online about how no one actually cares about them and how they should just disappear. I don’t want them to think they’re unlovable, but the relationship is just so hard to maintain for me. I had kind of hoped the connection would fizzle out after we had originally met. I wouldn’t text them unless they texted me first. People have done this to me before if we didn’t really click and I usually left it alone and got the message. They still just consistently try to keep in touch with me though. They also guilt trip me if I don’t respond or contact them for a while or if I make an excuse if I don’t want to hang out.
I know I sound like an asshole, I just don’t think this person and I mesh well and they keep almost forcing it. I’m not confrontational at all and am always afraid to hurt peoples feelings, aka a total people pleaser, so I just keep playing along. I’m really just keeping the friendship because I feel sorry for them. I know it was bad for me to keep this up so long because ending the friendship now will hurt them even more. Any advice on how to handle this? Do I just keep playing along so I don’t hurt them?

Hi. So, for some context, I’m transgender female to male. It’s a central part of my identity, but I only came out a year and a half ago. I know it’ll take some getting used to. My dad (45m) and stepmom (39f) are not accepting of this whatsoever. If I could have I wouldn’t have told them, period. Life in the household in my teenage years was very tedious. Overall I’d get decent grades, keep up well with peers, even had a job that I was continuously praised for my work ethic at. Any time I had off was spent doing chores around the house. I didn’t complain. That didn’t matter to them, though, because at least once every week they’d pull me into a “chat” for three hours about how I was weird, everything that I’m doing wrong, basically just making fun of me under th guise of concern. Upon moving out of their house I would either text or call for every holiday and birthday. I’m not good with words so it would be generic, but either way last year when my birthday rolled around, I got nothing. No call, no text. My siblings remembered and they ignored me. Usually, my social media is very largely disconnected from my personal life, known accounts of family members blocked, etc. I’m out on those accounts. A few months back though, a family member had an account that I missed somehow and proceeded to out me to my immediate and extended family. Overall this went ignored, but with my dad and stepmom, after finding out they went from texting every month or so to nothing at all. When my paternal grandpa was very sick and about to pass, they didn’t even let me know they were home visiting or even that he wasn’t doing well to begin with. Because of all of this I usually feel like an overall disappointment and a black sheep of the family. I’d be lying if I said I couldn’t care less. But every effort I’ve made has gone either not very far or ignored altogether. Of course I love my dad, but I don’t see a point in continuing to play this game if all they’re playing it for is to have something to condemn. WIBTA if I didn’t message?

NUMEROLOGY OF CAUREY ROLLINS

Caurey Rollins was arrested for molesting children. Not sure the level of intensity besides what went viral which was him putting a young boy's toe in his mouth at a trampoline park which is beyond absurd. I am going to point out the significance of the possibility of this act based on the numeric ENERGIES in his name. Not sure what his middle name is because that would help to gain full insight into his full character, but will put a focus on his first name at least since this energy is most important on a daily basis.
Was able to get his full name which is Caurey Verlon Rollins. We are going to be applying the energies in a way where it is based on an individual and match up the actions with the energies.
First name DECODE
C - The energy of 3 vibrates at 3 which is a known number when it comes to communication, expression, creativity, and social activity on a main scale. In addition to those basics, it is a number and energy connected to Gemini(the twins) and connected to versatility which can apply in a sense where someone is into men and women or even the same gender. C and 3 energy is very childlike, more childlike than the energy of 5 and Leo.
A - The energy of 1 is what the letter A represents in Numerology. This represents action and quick impulse. Think of a child doing something impulsively without thinking. That is what A and 1 can represent.
U - The energy of U being the 21st letter of the alphabet and vibrating at a matured energy and level of the # 3 is merged with the energy of 2 and 1. 2 being the number connected to cooperation, compassion, and sensitivity and 1 being action-oriented. This energy combo can point to someone(1) who is fruity(2) = 3.
R - 18th letter of the alphabet vibrating at the energy of 9. A matured version of 9 so it is beyond being experimental. It's being experimental with things on a dedicated basis or from a place of history(8). 8 is representing time being put in a situation. It wasn't a one time thing type of energy. 9 is the number of experience and mastery. In this case, in a not so good way.
E - 5th letter of the alphabet which I mentioned is connected to childlike energy whether it is humor based, or childish actions. I mentioned in another post that 5 is also connected to crimes.
Y- 25th letter of the alphabet. Vibrating at the energy 7 which is a number connected to strategy and wisdom. The number of being calculating and thoughtful. 2 as I mentioned is a number associated with cooperating with other or just any 1 on 1 interaction and the number 5 is creative, inappropriate, joyful, childlike,etc. Numerology speaks about 7 being associated with Neptune which is the planet connected to illusions and deceit.
As you can see, this name as a lot of energies connected to numbers and energies of immaturity such as 3 two times, 1, and 5. The name CAUREY radiates a strong energy and influence of 1 which is self-motivated or self-focused with the destiny and personality number being 1 and the soul urge being 9. This all equates to doing something for the benefit of self and NOT thinking it through.
Now looking at his full name
CAUREY VERLON ROLLINS has the energy of 3 five times throughout his name. This repetitions brings forth the energy and influence of 8. 8 can be taboo! Motivated by taboo urges (8) and taking action on it (1).
3 childlike energy,5 times (kids are connected to 5)
9 is throughout his name 4 times. 9x4=36/9 9 as I mentioned is connected to mastery, teaching, success, and power. 4 is self when it isn't about responsibility and work demands.
3 and 9 are connected to teaching, learning, intelligence -- He was working with the kids before he did such an act. I guess the taboo was more important.
His full name has the personality number 7 which is the Neptune ruled number in Numerology. His soul urge is 8 and destiny number is 6 so he was strategic(7) in his taboo actions(8) while working with innocent kids (6). 6 is the number of hospitality, service, and care. 8 is the number connected to change, dark experiences/taboo, and ambition. 7 is strategy, wisdom, and deceit,.

Bonus if it's got some fantasy! I don't like too too much sexual content, I'm more of a fade to black person. I'm looking for books where the ML is similar to Kyoya Ootori from Ouran High School Host Club. From the wiki about him: "Kyoya is a calm and logical guy who has superior intelligence. He also can come across as rather detached, and sometimes threatening when need be. He is a diligent secretary for the club and tracks continuous data on the club's guests and fortunes through his netbook, tablet or notebook. He is very fond of his best friend, Tamaki Suoh, giving him free rein when it comes to implementing his ideas for the club. He gets along with Haruhi Fujioka and they often chat, both being level-headed people of equivalent intelligence and low emotionality.
He is from the wealthy and influential Ootori family, which manages a health care zaibatsu. His family is extremely well-known in their chosen field and employs a private police force called The Black Onion Squad. Though equally qualified to become patriarch of the Ootori family, he feels overshadowed by his two older brothers, who are far more likely to inherit their family's mantle than he. However, despite the circumstances, he has confidence in his own abilities and finds the situation to be more of an interesting game than a roadblock."
Thanks!

Context :
I'm 15 years old and my girlfriend 14 years old, about a 6 month difference. I would say that we are pretty mature for our age, although ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've known her for about 2 years, although we actively started talking last summer, we were never officially together due to the fact that she doesn't like labels, although I'll refer to us as "together" as its easier to define it like that, we were together till about the end of November, then we split up due to the fact that she had lost feelings. Then, she messaged me a few months later and we met in real life to talk about the reason and why we actually split up, and her reasoning was that she has commitment issues due to her dad, and she became scared due to it becoming too serious, then she started pulling away, and the reason that she messaged me cause her "views" had changed on life, and that she was previously unhappy with her life, but that now she's happy and she originally thought that she didn't care that we split up, but she realized that I actually meant alot to her, and now we are speaking again, and closer than before. We have made it a more "healthier" relationship and have started discussing any problems that appear.
And when we started talking again we had a very in-depth discussion about what we expect from eachother, and our boundaries, and she mentioned she wants something serious. Although we didn't go too in-depth on the details
Situation :
I recently tried asking her if she wanted to be "together" she didn't give a response, but we started discussing it and she says she doesn't like labels, and that she's scared of making a commitment, cause what if something happens, just like last time and she hurts me again. Then I brought up that nothing would change if we "officially" put a label on it, but then she says why do we need to? Then she started saying how it's currently fun, and she wants to keep it that way.
Simply put we are in a relationship, without it being a relationship with a label, we are emotionally close, physically close, I've met her mom and we are chill, and her mother occasionally calls me over to do some jobs and if me and my girlfriend are ever speaking in their yard, she comes out and gives us jobs to do, like plant carrots or buy something from the store, AND I met her dad yesterday (although her father isn't the best father, and emotionally abuses her, and her sister, and mother.
She occasionally says something like "If we ever get married..." "If we ever have kids..." although I'm not sure she is 100% sure of it, and well no one can be, but I really want me and her to work out, and I think its possible, as my mom and dad have known each other since 12 years old, although those were different times.
and when we were speaking previously, before we split up, we had discussions about our future, and what we want, and I was include in that. Although she, and her views have changed significantly since that, and I'm not sure if it's better or worse for this situation, and we haven't had the chance to have 1 very important conversation which we agreed to have when we started talking originally, and that conversation is about our separate futures, and what we want to achieve in our life.
She also mentioned, that if we were together in the future that, there just wouldn't be anything else to compare our relationship to, I assume it's well due to the fact none of us would have any "life experiences" which I totally understand, butttttt 😭
I'll try having a conversation with her tomorrow or next week, as she's busy Saturday and Sunday.
Please give me your perspective? I understand some of you may say "You're too young to understand" or something along those lines, but well I personally disagree.
I'll keep you all updated, if y'all are interested.
forgot to mention that, she has said that she wants her first time with me

Hello everyone! I have decided to leave my thoughts here, so whatever happens, happens, I just feel like I should do it somewhere. Oh my, I typed a lot, I'm not even confident enough that this will be read, but hey I've got nothing to lose. So, I'm a guy who just recently hit 20 and the ways I think and feel are changing and I am having difficulties because of that. This will be related to my feelings, thoughts and my wishes, the last part is something I'm not used to having. The main problem will be my father who is not supporting that. However I wouldn't say it's just some "disagreement" or anything, but something bigger. So I will leave some stuff I've been through and how I felt at those times. I hope someone can help or anything
Before school: I would be super talkative with the family and neighborhood kids, just being annoying and putting out some childlike opinions and just being a little loud burden when I'm comfortable. When I'm not, I'd just be the quiet kid I've been taught to be, not nice bothering grownups, they're scary
Elementary school: As a kid I never had too many friends, I always attached to that one person and was connected with them the most and it was enough for me. However I happened to have some silly luck where whenever I'd get attached to someone they would magically appear to move out of the country and I'd find a new friend and repeat the same cycle. Definitely didn't hang out with multiple people at once. Wasn't aware this was doing something to me. A lot of them were friends that played a lot of video games and I got into playing video games too. A bit too much perhaps because it would happen to delay everything, including my knowledge of everything till this very day. Both in elementary and high school I was a straight A, "gifted kid" and all that nerd stuff. Of course I did it all because I feared the reaction of my parents if I wasn't doing as good as I was supposed to. My mom was more understanding than my dad. I could always ask her things like "Would you still love me if I wasn't getting As?" and she would comfort me and all the good stuff. I was always afraid of my dad so I never had deeper talks with him. Even today, I have deep talks with my mom and love spending time with her but I can end up being all day alone with my dad and we share 20 words. But now not that much because of fear but because of habit I guess. My whole life goal at this stage was just not making him angry. I didn't have any hobbies, just burning through games and school books. When it was time to go to highschool, I picked some random school not directed into anything, (uhh I don't know the words, gymnasium? the school that has a little bit of everything, nothing specific, English is not my native language) it was kinda directed to coding but not really, I picked it because, hey I like games, this should be fun, I could make games.
Highschool: My habits have hit me, and I realized I'm not really engaging in healthy human activities so I have been so afraid of not being able to make friends. Because I usually spent my social time with one friend in my house or their house I didn't really know anything about my town or places or activities or whatever at the age of 15. I was scared of simply being too far behind on everything and that I couldn't make friends. However I happened to find some kid who was just like me and I clicked with him. Oh my, repeating the cycle, am I not? However I didn't want to repeat the cycle. And I wanted to go meet more friends from the class and see what's up, I'm tired of feeling like an outcast. I've been lucky and I've met some great guys where I've seen what it means to have self-respect, self-love, a backbone, goals, how you can rebel against things you find ridiculous and all the most insane of them all, ~confidence~. Thanks to being in that group of 5 friends, I've been taught so many things I should have known ages ago and I was able to feel okay around people, start going to the gym, going out in town, advancing even as far as going to different towns and trying out things I didn't feel comfortable thinking about before. Was able to talk to girls on a deeper level and had an embarrassingly late realization of "hey, they're human too!". Things I did were nothing too crazy ever, I still had my dad's ideals hanging over my head, so I never felt comfortable engaging in some things like drinking or going to parties out late (well, he wouldn't allow me to leave the house late anyways). Eventually I figured out I can just lie to him to make things less complicated by twisting the story a little bit, that's how I ended up going to another town. The first time I confronted him about something bigger, is when I wanted to go to another country on my own so I could meet up with my girlfriend at that time and I was tired of him not allowing me stuff and I just dropped my first ever assertive-ish sentence to him. "I want to ask you something but I don't want your answer to be no". He allowed me to, was taken aback though. That trip was one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had in my life. I think he allowed me to only because it was a girl in question, and I wasn't really having girl friends in highschool, was scared because of all the generalization I've heard from my father and the relationship between my parents, and I truly wasn't excited about the whole idea of marriage. My dad is very traditional and he loves being in control of my life because he believes that a man should fully provide for his family, that he should simply deal with this deal with that, that a wife must obey him, that parents are most important no matter how they act yadda yadda. A lot of old thinking I never agreed with but couldn't do much about it anyways so let's just live I guess. However one thing I did continue in highschool is my addiction to video games. But then I stopped because I felt guilty for not studying and felt guilty for not learning about music or town areas all my friends know. So I started listen to music properly and I got hooked to it. This has grown into a bigger problem now and I'll go in the final stage of my life because I feel like this is so much text.
University: (if I say uni/college, I'm talking about the same thing, I don't know if there's a difference between the two words) Oh well, you remember how I said that the addiction is gonna make a problem? Well, I started studying engineering. Thanks to my high grades and me doing the entrance exam relatively well, I got into the "toughest college in the country". Now, the fun part is that now that I have to detach from listening to music for multiple hours a day and absolutely doing stupid dances and releasing my energy outside because I don't know what to do with it, I realized I never thought about what I loved... And, well let's just say I don't really know if engineering, nor coding was the way to go. Crisis time. However I don't like anything, what do I do I'm gonna lose my mind. Well, let's just try having friends? I met some of the most beautiful souls ever on this university and I have reached the point of being able to "be myself" and show the world my weirdness and all the goofy opinions and statements my mind creates. I go to that college sometimes just to see all those beautiful people again and again. They're serious about what they're doing and about their studies, I wish them the best, I really hope I don't negatively affect them. However, I tried to research a bit on what I might actually truly love. And after stumbling through life this last year while pretending everything's okay when dad asked, and telling the truth to my mom, I stumbled onto psychology. And well I have went to that college, to see the lessons and classes and wow, studying can be fun? So I'm thinking about finally taking a wrong turn on this path I was always meant to take from the beginning of my life, and follow this, just to see what's gonna happen. What's the purpose of pushing software engineering when I know I'll feel about it like any other job. I'm not money hungry anyways, I'm hungry for being fulfilled. I've confronted my dad about wanting to change my career, to which I've been called many names, been extremely judged for my choices and I've been told to cut off my hair and stop going to the gym as punishment (I'm not planning on listening to this). I've never been physically abused by my dad, but I'm scared if he's insane enough to do something to me now because he set me a timer of 7 days to cut off my hair. Oh yes btw, I always wanted to have long hair and he never agreed, I was too scared to ever do it. Recently I've changed my mind and he hates it so now he wants it gone. I'm genuinely concerned if he's gonna launch on me with scissors or something ridiculous. You see, even now I am so easily manipulated and controlled by fear and I'm sick and tired of that. That's probably the reason I never got out of religion, my fear is just too strong for me to do it. I dislike that, I wish I could transfer fear into love, I have never learned how to do that though. Will I always be like this? Will I always be a coward and just say "yessir" to everything? I don't want to anymore. I'm tired of being a puppet. I'm tired of having to prove I'm smart or capable or hardworking. I just want to have something with which I can say "I did this on my own, I committed to this, I wanted this" not "well it was good for me". I want to start following my heart and throw my brain out of the window. And now I'm scared of things like "what if I was wrong all along and he was right", "what if I don't find any jobs in this country because of this", "what if he throws me out of the house or starts abusing me". Well I don't know, but I feel like I want to commit to psychology, and I'm gonna do it, I'll be on my own, no ideals from other people, just me, and my wishes. But these words and all the things affect me a lot and they always have. And I get demotivated and stop caring about everything, which just makes my addiction to blasting music on my headphones and badly dancing even stronger. I'm scared of it happening again. But I've never been this sick of it all, I feel like I won't go down without a fight anymore. So I ask in the text once more, can I truly be broken beyond repair, or can I break all the chains tying me down? Because I want to know if I should just abandon all hope and embrace the tradition and insanity along with it, or just run and not look back.
If you have read all of this, I am very grateful to you, hopefully I have been collected enough to construct sentences that make sense, or that it all makes sense overall. Anything is appreciated. I love you all and wish you the best <3

Hello. I was fired last week and considering filing a complaint for discrimination and wrongful termination. Curious to hear your thoughts.
The background: I was hired into a position where, unbeknownst to me, I would be required to perform two jobs at once.
Job 1 was what was in the job posting and job description and something I'm good at. I won the company several big accounts and led them to the most profitable quarter in the company's history.
Job 2 was not in the job posting or description and is something I suck at, in part because I don't have the background, training, and skillset. It's an insanely detailed job that requires superior time management and organizational skills. I have medically diagnosed and currently-being-treated ADHD, which makes it even more challenging. I would have never taken the job had I known the Job 2 duties would be part of the job description.
I flagged my concern over Job 2 to my manager the first month I was hired in and continued to raise and document my concerns about my ability to perform in the job and the stress it was causing me and my team. I also went to HR with these same complaints.
I did not mention having ADHD to my manager until I brought it up in a conversation about 5 months after I hired in. He hates people who make excuses and I did not want to be seen as incompetent. I didn't mention it to HR until shortly after that, again because I was afraid of being seen as incompetent and also I feared retaliation from my boss.
Multiple times, I requested in writing modifications such as an additional person on my team to perform this function, a change in job duties, and/or project management software to help me manage everything.
All of these requests were denied by my boss. He said I should be able to do it myself.
And so, I tried but obviously still sucked. I received negative performance feedback from my manager. He did not use our employee performance review tool, but rather sent notes in a Google doc and over email.
The situation got increasingly serious, and eventually I was told by my boss it needed to get better in a week's time or I would be fired. I asked for his help in coming up with solutions on how to improve. He told me I needed to come up with these solutions myself and gave me 2 days time to present them to him in a meeting.
Freaking out, I went to HR with a timeline that included all of the times I had raised the issue of not being able to perform in the Job 2 aspects of my job and asked for help that I did not get as well as the two times I had mentioned having ADHD to my boss. I also mentioned the time my boss had made a rude joke about my age. For those reasons, I asked HR to initiate an investigation into my boss. HR said my concerns were serious and that they would initiate that investigation.
Meanwhile, I had the meeting with my boss and proposed the solutions to him that he asked for. He said they were not enough and that I should prepare myself to be terminated. I was taken off projects and basically shut out of all the work I was normally doing. It was super humiliating and shitty.
A couple of days go by. HR says they are still conducting the investigation into my boss but won't tell me anything about the process of who they're talking to or what was happening, only that they'd follow up with me when they reached a conclusion.
Cut to, my boss, HR, and the president of the company put a meeting on my calendar. I assume it's to talk about the next steps regarding the investigation into my boss and/or mediation (something I had proposed to HR because my boss and I appeared to be at an impasse).
Anyway, I was fired in this meeting. I asked for the status on the investigation into my boss. HR brushed it aside and said I was being terminated for poor performance.
Now I'm wondering if I have a case -- EEOC, retaliation, or otherwise. I'm guessing no because the answer is always no and you can't fight city hall, but just thought I'd throw it out here on Reddit in case anyone's interested in offering an opinion.

Right so, I’m turning 21 and my partner is 22. We are in the same university and have known each other r for a year now. His grandfather figure just died and he is grieving that. I wanted to see him as soon as he got back but I was bed bound nd and ill. He didn’t like that I didn’t ask to come see him when he got back and started replying with simple word one responses every now and then. The next day I messaged him saying I miss you and he said I could’ve just asked etc. In his defence I got pretty agitated in my texts and neither of us were being friendly…
Almost minutes after I realised I should’ve thought before I said anything and apologised. He didn’t accept as we have argued before and I have been quick to anger which I understand. He says he doesn’t think we are going to work and that I need to work on my anger.
I love him with all my heart, I would move heaven on earth for him. I know I shouldn’t have been so defensive considering what he’s going through. He has asked for some time to himself which I’ll obviously give him but there’s so much I want to tell him and I feel as though if I stopped telling him how much I want this to work, id be doing an injustice to how I feel about him. He needs his boundaries right now and I’m not even sure if he will ever like me again. I know I’m not this angry person so why am I doing this to him? I can feel my heart breaking and I’ve never cried as hard in my life. He lights up any room he enters and I think he is the glue to his friendships. I feel proud to walk with my arm linked to his.
I came out to my grandparents so I could introduce him to them. I mean, I’ve kept my sexuality a secret from them for 7 years until a few months ago.
Edit: never physical angry just verbally. I know I’m more than edge now than ever and I have been ignoring it for too long. I know I should be giving him the benefit of the doubt

I miss you not only extensively, but inhumanly. Not only how you miss a human, but also how you'd miss a lung. Yes, I miss your presence - your smile, voice, and wit, your hands and their meter. (Plenty of poems to import for these, plenty of persons I've missed.) But worse, I inhale and it doesn't fill me. I waft around shadow-limbed, cropped neuron firings I don't know what to do with. Coffee, always cold now - is it my tongue, or do I sit longer frozen, not-holding your hand? Suddenly, sometimes, I am only a shock-pulse, an ache. Sometimes my heart razes bearings and my skin raises flagpoles, and I'm certain we're looking down the same line, somewhere, towards each other.
When my mind is elsewhere, when your name is nowhere, still you are a shape in my instincts. A notch in the clock cycle, profound syncopation. You comprise me so deeply, half my movements are yours. It's true that when we said goodbye, I cried like a child (a human, conscious in grief). But more than that, I felt firmware not-update to this relapse in the lack of you (congenital condition). My body, too adapted to the miracle cure - unable to stop pinging.
Too heafed for rewiring, too known to forget a body un-bounded, in-human bones set.

In the realm of Asmonia, four kingdoms—Armatius Empire, Mavia, Otarenth Dynasty, and Pruzodora—vie for power and control over the lands. For centuries, Armatius and Mavia have been locked in a bitter feud, each seeking dominance over the other. Meanwhile, Otarenth and Pruzodora have remained neutral, harboring ancient secrets and treasures within their borders.
As tensions escalate between Armatius and Mavia, rumors spread of an ancient kingdom hidden deep within the enchanted waters of Pruzodora. It's said that this kingdom holds immeasurable riches and mystical artifacts, capable of shifting the balance of power in the ongoing conflict.
To uncover the truth and claim the treasures for themselves, emissaries from Otarenth, Mavia and Pruzodora, along with their entourages, are invited to a grand ball hosted by the rulers of Armatius. The ball is intended to be a diplomatic affair, but beneath the surface, alliances are formed and betrayals plotted.
Is there poison in the wine? Should you dance with that adversary? Who’s listening to the whispers between you and your friend? Are they even friend, could they be foe all along?
