Bumble bee sayings

So i just want to say is anyone else besides me experienceing in-active accounts likeing profiles but when the timer runs out nothing happens. Another thing as well do people still have accounts but have not deleted their profiles but have un-uninstalled bumble on their phone while their profile is still up on bumble? Thank you for your time

I (34) recently matched with a guy (30) on Bumble and I'd say we immediately hit it off. He asked me for a coffee walk the day after we matched. The coffee walk turned into a 4 hours date with lot of laughter and plenty to talk about.
Already during the first meet up he asked me for a second date and after the coffee walk he immediately messaged me that he had a lot of fun and can't wait to see me again.
Unfortunately he went on a 10 days trip 2 days after the first meet up, but we kept in touch. We messaged each other once a day but always long paragraphs. He once didn't get back to me for almost 3 days after he initially asked me to meet up the day after his return. So I told him, that I would be free that day but that he doesn't seem very interested (without mentioning why). He messaged back that he's sorry for giving this impression because he's not regularly responding during his trip, but he's interested and would love to see me again. That was fine to me then.
Two days ago we had our second date, we went for darts in a Pub. We had an amazing evening of about 6 hours until 1.30 am. We also kissed, kissed about an hour on a bench in a park in the end. But then he said he'd love to spend the night with me and to me this is at least an orange flag on a second date. I told him that I find it a little odd that he's asking me this but he said, its just because he had such a wonderful evening and he can't even stop kissing me (of course he couldn't, we were horny haha). I told him that I don't go with him tonight.
Again he asked me out for the next date during this date.
From my past experiences, when a man likes a woman and had a great date, he would message her in the morning. But he didn't. But to be fair, the night before he messaged me that he had a great evening and good night and I only said good night to him too. But I was still confused that he asked me to go with him, that's why I didn't react to it and backed off a little.
I decided to ask him around noon how he feels (because we did drink a little and I felt a little hungover at work). He was online from time to time but left my message unread until the evening. To me a bad sign if you're seriously interested. When he then replied I told him that my hangover was very much worth it. He said his hangover too. I then asked what he's up to and when he's flying to London the next day (today).
So he only got back this morning when he was at the airport. He also send me 5 messages and asked about my plans for the day and if it's busy at work. And this seems to be fine on the one hand, but on the other hand I find myself wondering/uncertain. I have to say that I was in a relationship of 8 years and dating is new to me now. I try to put myself in his shoes but I always get back to relate to myself. If was was seriously interested in someone, I would make a little more effort, not? When I'm out with friends I also don't read or reply to him. But when I'm in bed, I do. Because 1. I don't want to make him feel ignored and 2. I'm interested in his messages and maintaining a conversation.
I'm trying not to overthink and when we meet up next Tuesday I will mention that I'm uncertain if he's looking for something serious or more casual, but until then, I'd like to hear some thoughts or experiences here.

I'm a 20-year-old guy trying to navigate the dating scene here in Utah as a non-Mormon. I'm bisexual, and while I get around 5 matches from women every two weeks on Bumble because thats what I use to meet women, I use Hinge to meet guys because they aren't as creepy from the get-go. However, I'm often disappointed to find that many of the women I match with on Bumble are Latter-day Saints.
I'm an atheist, so this is a deal-breaker for me, and it's stated clearly in my profile that I'm bi, into musicals and theater, and proudly wear pride gear in my photos. It's frustrating because I don't try to hide my identity – I'm pretty obviously not straight, and the church's stance on LGBTQ+ issues is well-known.
I'm not sure if they're just swiping without reading my profile, but regardless, I want to be honest without coming across as rude. I've enjoyed chatting with these women, and they've been nice, but it's important to me to find someone who shares my beliefs or lack thereof.
Is there a polite way to say, "Hey, I'm an atheist and would prefer to date fellow atheists or at least non-LDS people"? I know this might not be the best move in a state like Utah, but at this point, I'd rather have no matches than ones that aren't compatible. I don't want to sound ungrateful for the conversations I've had, but it's important to me to be upfront about what I'm looking for.
Thanks for any advice!

Idek where or how to start, everything is just so confusing and so hard. everyday is constant existential dread and just this feeling that won't go away I feel the same everyday idk how to explain it it's just driving me crazy I feel so lost and hopeless everything feels different nothing is the same nothing I look at feels right not even close ones feel the same. Nothing feels like it has purpose I sit here thinking about "my life" and I I can't even like recognize that I'm me and I'm here and whatever I feel so disconnected things are starting to feel less of a matter I'm starting to care less cause it doesn't feel like this is real idk what to call it it doesn't not feel real but it doesn't feel real it snot like a video game, I just exist with no feeling of existence idk what or who I am I feel like like a spectators almost idk really but I feel like no one truly gets it when I explain it I'm so alone in this and idk how I'm going to get anywhere feeling like this.

I fell victim to a Bumble/Whatsapp/IG scammer posing as a girl. Talking to a girl on bumble named MAXXY(petite Filipina; location South of Miami). She wants to move to whatsapp(common for filipinas). Vidcall for a bit. Sends nudes and vids. They sent me screenshots of all my IG followers and followees threatening to send my junk to all of them.
Anywho, I'm on the spectrum and don't deal well at all with pressure like at all. I freaked out and had a terrible anxiety attack and ended up sending them a couple hundred, like a total dumbass.
Immediately took screenshots of their contact info from all apps before blocking them and sent them to all customer service departments for those apps, deleted the bank acct I sent the money from, made sure they never got my personal info(doesn't really matter cause I live on a boat anyways and only have a debit card, nothing else. Plus I dont even have a lot of money lol). And also disputed the transfer with my bank and am waiting to hear back what they say. But damn man. I'm their perfect victim... someone who has really bad anxiety and has terrible social problems to begin with.
After calming down a little, I now realize I probably should've just not givin a shit about it but still. Still in shock a bit. Lesson learned, I guess. Also after calming down even more, I also don't know like 95% of my followers or people I follow personally and also pretty sure one of my spiteful exes posted my junk online already anyways.
Not looking for opinions or advice. Yes, I know I was a dumbass. I was terrified in the moment. Yes, it most likely couldve been avoided if I just blocked them immediately. But anxiety hits me like a freight train and I just freeze up like a deer in headlights. Just wanted to share my experience to help other look for the signs and not be as stupid as I was. Good luck and stay safe.
I can post screenshots of the accts and profile pics if needed. Just need more time to collect my thoughts. Sorry.

Should apartheid return to South Africa? Why or why not?
South Africa is still an apartheid state, just slightly different rules and implication.
The ANC is obsessed (always was really) with racial classification, just as the National Party was, (who created the term Apartheid). Citizens are not treated equally today, like in the past. Just like before the colour of the face of the president will determine which race will benefit above all others. The country is still an effective one-party-oppressive-racist-state. The majority people now vote based on race, so the minority races do not effectively have a say.
Apartheid strived to separate race groups in to different areas. Now the ANC ruling party is dividing the race groups into different work and business QUATA SYSTEM called BEE (just like with the previous apartheid just slightly different implementation). There may only be a specified percentage (determined by the racist ANC minister) of each minority race group in a business. The business now have to apply for racial clearance with the racist ANC state. The black majority may be 100% of the business, but the other race groups can only be a small pre-described amount. In the case of whites: the white quota is usually filled by a single beautiful white blond young woman.
So Apartheid is still here; it is just called BEE today. It never left; just changed name.

Am I the asshole
I met a guy on bumble we hit it off exchange WhatsApp we did the whole night sexting , the next day he disappeared I thought he ghosted me I asked him a few days so he said he had presentation so that's why he was not available , suddenly something wrong in my mind that I am seen this guy before and I told him so , then he remember as well let yeah be mast way before but he did not entertain me because I was mysterious looking to him.. flash forward today's later no message nothing so I sent him a very rash voice not that I don't think we should move forward in staff and block them and when I unlock him I wanted to talk to him on call he said yeah we can do it but later cuz his friends came in his dorm , so the next day I message him and I want to talk to him but he did not response well I mean I don't know if he read it or not.. I deleted all my messages and block him saying quote I can't do it anymore I quit , the Agnee that I never met this person but as to impacted me on my heart and I don't comprehend the fact that how can someone go from 100 to zero in just a couple days...

I went to the psychiatric hospital last week because I needed a break from the electronic torture. I felt like my ear drums were going to explode. The noise in my head ironically sounded like a thousand bees buzzing inside my brain. Anyway, the pain and the torture went away once I was admitted. However, once they transferred me from the ER to the unit I was welcomed with 3 perps who didn’t waste any time to gaslight me.
My roommate was a perp and he was sporting a Hitler mustache and had an obsession with drawing Superman logos. I always call my minions Nazis because that’s what they are and I listen to Eminem’s song “Superman” because it’s a great song. My roommate was a terrible actor at pretending to be a schizophrenic and overplayed his role to the point where he looked stupid. I told him that I knew he’s a perp and that his acting was ridiculously awful. After I said this to him, his schizophrenia magically disappeared and he was normal lol.
Another perp was wearing a “Frankie says Relax” shirt from Friends. I often reference this line when I get irritated and pissed from the v2k. I’ve honestly never seen this shirt outside of that Friends episode. I didn’t call this perp out because he was a bum but I did see him get paid for his work by one of the medical staff while I was walking passed his room right before I was discharged.
So, without question the medical community are involved in this shit but to what extent? Are the medical staff and supervisors, nurses, doctors, and social workers all in on it? Does the hospital hire perps to do this shit to patients? I was in the ER for about 12 hours before I was given a room, which would seem like more than enough time for them to arrange everything. But why? I’m not special at all and it’s quite funny to see these people spend money, resources, and go out of their way to orchestrate this type of ensemble 🤹🤡🎪🤪

Hey everyone! I'll try to keep this as brief as I can while still trying to give as many details as possible.
I am a T-Mobile Home Internet user and have had it for the past six months or so. It's had its ups and downs but for the most part it was pretty good given my location. A solid 100 - 300 Mbps download and 12 - 21 Mbps Upload. Not great, but definitely usable.
This month we went over our data limit of 1.4 TB and ever since then it's bee massively slow. T-Mobile says they'll bottleneck us during high-usage hours, which makes sense. The thing that doesn't make sense is that a Mac on the opposite end of my house is still getting 90 Mpbs Download while my Windows 11 laptop, which is in the same room as the router AND directly wired up through Ethernet, is getting anywhere from 0.9 - 20 Mbps. Using Ethernet vs WiFi makes no difference. I am running these tests at the same time through Ookla. The Upload speeds are still consistent between the two devices.
All of my drivers are up to date, I made sure the Ethernet cord and connections are clean and dust-free, I've reset the router countless times, but no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I will answer any questions you may have. Thank you so much!

This is my first time ever posting on Reddit, so I’m sorry if this doesn’t totally make sense.
I (28F) found out yesterday that my boyfriend (30M) was cheating on me. He was active on hinge (dating site) and I found out because a girl I know reached out to me on instagram sending me a screen recording of his profile. I confronted him immediately and he admitted to it right away. His reasoning was that he was looking to see if I was on it… to which I replied that’s absolutely bs because if that were true his profile would have been bleak vs high detail with great photos of himself. We’ve been together for two years and have lived with each other for only 3 months. There were big growing pains from moving in together and we had some really big fights.
When I saw him at home I had so many questions. He said he never swiped or liked anyone but only went on it to see if I was on it. He swore he never talked to anyone and that I could check his phone if I wanted. Note that he had already deleted the app along with any evidence of what was on it. I never once gone through his phone nor have I ever felt the need. I trusted him so much. I never ever doubted his loyalty. I think he assumed I would’ve gone through his texts and seen there was nothing there so I’d forgive him. But I went and found his app download and purchase history. He has been paying $90/mo for tinder, bumble, and hinge for 1.5 years. He tried to say he just never cancelled the subscription but didn’t have an answer for the “extra bundle of likes/roses” proving he was actively using the app the entire time.
He said that was it that was all there was and I’d be open to searching anything with no hesitation at any time. So I said, “okay fire up the laptop”. He didn’t realize that texted deleted on the phone did not delete texts on his laptop. There were countless texts with girls over the course of 1.5 years. Him inviting them over, asking them out, him going to theirs, and SO MANY NUDES of the girls.
I told him I cannot be with him anymore and he broke the one thing I told him I could never tolerate. He became the one thing I swore he never was. A cheater. He said he never once was actually physically with anyone, but I don’t buy it. He told me it’s only me and no one else and he’ll do anything to keep me and fix it. I said there’s no way. My person would never do that to me.
But why do I still care? He is dead broke. He got fired from his job in October and just started working 3 weeks ago and I have been by his side the entire time. I never made him pay for rent, I helped extra with groceries when his savings were running low, I was even just about to pay for a $2000 first aid course so he could apply to be a firefighter. I’m letting him stay at my apartment for the next 3 days while I stay with family. However he’s begging me to let him stay until the end of the month so he can get another paycheque but that means I am accommodating him and making my life extremely hard when he’s the one the ruined this. But I can’t bring myself to tell him to get out and run the risk of being on the street. He just moved to this city so he has no friends or family.
I already broke up with him and I told everyone around me so I am accountable and I cannot go back to him. But I feel absolutely worthless and I keep questioning why wasn’t I enough that he couldn’t just be happy with me. All I want to do is curl up in his arms and have him tell me it’s okay and it was just a bad dream. I am devastated. My heart physically hurts and it’s painful to breathe. I genuinely had no idea any of this was happening. Everyone is absolutely shocked. What the heck am I supposed to do :(

I understand WRITING Game Boy as “GB” because it saves time, but actually vocally SAYING “Gee Bee” makes no sense for many reasons, especially because it’s literally the same amount of syllables. It saves zero energy, and in fact seems more awkward to pronounce.
“GBA” = ok ✅
“GBC” = ok (but can be debatable)✅
“GB” = gtfoh ⛔️
It tends to be mostly generation Z and generation Alpha that has adopted the new “Gee Bee”ism. Right along with “Oh Em Gee! (omg)”. Rant over. Please do your parts not to promote such debauchery

Current wx is slight overcast, light breeze, low humidity and temps in the high 60s (@7:00 PM local)
Forecast for the weekend is (as Fred Flintstone would say) is bee E youtiful!

Do I just tell her I have zero other matches who I can talk to 🗿

I was reading an article about this new vaccine they made for honeybees. It was saying how they vaccinated the bees in some hives and they gave the bees in others a placebo vaccine that didn’t do anything.
My question is: why vaccinate the control hives with anything? Wouldn’t it be the same thing, and much simpleeasier, to just not do anything to them? I mean it sounds so silly to me if I’m understanding it correctly
P.S. Additionally, what if the placebo actually does have some effects by accident?

It’s that time of year again when lots of people are getting out and gardening. We usually see a big uptick in the number of posts asking about clover lawns, native lawns, and other lawn alternatives. So let’s try and answer some of the common questions and talk about what has worked well in your yards!
Some clover facts and FAQs:

• The most common clover used in lawns is white clover (aka Dutch White Clover, micro clover, trifolium repens). It’s native to Europe and the Mediterranean region: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifolium_repens
• The above-ground growth of clover dies back in freezing temperatures and regrows in the spring time. This can create muddy patches of lawn in the winter, which can invite other plants to germinate in the clover. In warmer climates this isn’t a problem.
• Since clover is not native to North America, the ecological value of white clover is pretty low. It’s similar to dandelions in that they are both non-native and early-flowering lawn plants. Bumblebees and honey bees (also not native) do get some value from the flowers, but native bees prefer native flowers and plants.
• Question: Are there any native clovers?: Yes. There’s quite a few native trifolium species: https://bonap.net/Napa/TaxonMaps/Genus/County/Trifolium (green is native, blue is not). However you may struggle to find these native species in the quantity you’d want for a lawn. There’s also some native plants that have the common name clover, like prairie clovers: https://bonap.net/Napa/TaxonMaps/Genus/County/Dalea however these are generally too tall to grow in a lawn, and wouldn’t likely tolerate foot traffic.
• Question: If I don’t plant clover, what else can I do to support pollinators?: Native plants have evolved alongside our native insects and birds for thousands of years. Many of us learned in school how monarch butterflies feed on milkweed plants: if you don’t have milkweed, you won’t have monarchs. This plant/insect relationship is extremely common. Some plants have a bigger impact on their ecosystem than others; these are called “keystone” plants. Planting a small pollinator garden or just landscaping with native plants is an excellent way to support your local ecosystem. Checkout NWF’s guides on the Keystone plants for each ecoregion here: https://www.nwf.org/Garden-for-Wildlife/About/Native-Plants/keystone-plants-by-ecoregion you can also take a look at the wild ones garden designs here: https://nativegardendesigns.wildones.org/designs/ these show several good examples of home landscaping with native plants (for each location). Note that most of these designs include an area of lawn!
• Question: Are there other native lawn alternatives?: Yes, though location matters a lot here. The western half of North America, there are a lot of shorter prairie grasses that can be grown as a lawn. Buffalo grass, side oats grama, and blue grama are all good options. Here’s one guide for installation: https://www.cityofames.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=49586 In Florida and parts of the southeast, frog fruit is a good option. Sedge lawns can work in some areas too.

Feel free to ask more questions and share your experiences! We have a few different wiki pages on this issue, but I think it will be good to open this issue up to the sub and see what people say. Have you tried other lawn alternatives? Do you like clover in your lawn areas?
