So yesterday night my 4 years old male Labrador almost, very nearly bit a kid. The kid's 8 years old btw. I was there with the kid when my Labrador hurried over, really charged, the kid (I can't remember if he barked or not before he came over), and then just...almost bit him. It's hard to say exactly what happened. I had my hand up, and my dogs teeth got my arm. There was no marks or anything but it hurt for sure. I know that if my hand wasn't up, the kid would've gotten bit.
It was at my house, my labradors great with everyone except this kid specially. Before he always was jumping at the kid, but there wasn't any malicious intent behind this jumping. But this was the first time my Labrador almost bit him.
Now, he's shown us over the years that he doesn't like little kids (generally) (there have been some growling, snapping episodes in the past) so we try and avoid them as much as possible. He's good with everyone else except little kids, and really just kids in general, which is very strange for a Labrador. He's great with other animals, most other people. With this kid, while there were no teeth marks, I think there, on the kids back, were some marks from my dogs claws.
Now this is our neighbors kid, my lab has seen our neighbors since he was 7 weeks old, we're great friends with our neighbors, but I just need some advice on what to do to help my Labrador overcome his fear of kids and prevent these things in the future.

They haven't even been gone that long and here I come with this batshit insane question lmao, but I'm curious! Give your best reasoning 🫶 . Personally I think Jin cuz good cook + responsible + has dad jokes so I'd never be bored

I am a first time mom with a 6 week old baby who is exclusively breastfeeding. My husband and I are immigrants, so we don't have any family support in the country we are currently residing in, so when we found out I was pregnant, I asked my mum if she would be able to come help us with the house and baby for a couple months. She agreed and she is now currently staying with us until the end of June to help out.
Since the arrival of our little girl, I have been trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel. Every day seems like a struggle that I don't even know where to begin articulating my thoughts.
I am currently struggling with mastitis and vasospasms. It hurts so much to breastfeed, and it really doesn't help that baby's latch is not the best. We always try to get a good initial latch, then she starts wiggling and turning her head from side to side, pulling my nipples and sliding off the big mouthful of breast. And when I try to break off the latch and relatch her, she screams and cries. Honestly, breastfeeding has taken a lot of my emotional and physical toll and constantly feel like I am a terrible mother because I can't seem to figure out breastfeeding.
At the peak of my mastitis, I was crying every time she would latch on. My husband and mum doesn't seem to understand the pain that I am in. My husband would be dismissive about the pain - at one of my crying/nursing sessions, he made the comment "how can this be more painful than childbirth? surely if you could go through pushing her out, this can't be as painful". My mum isn't much help with this either. She would constantly give me unsolicited advice that is counterproductive of actually helping my mastitis. She would tell me to "keep pumping until the mastitis clogs come out" and "stop nursing on that side if it hurts so much". I know that she has good intentions because she doesn't want to see me in pain, but after telling her time and time again that her advice is unwanted and unhelpful, she continues to make little remarks like this that I would just hide away in a room to nurse baby so no one could make comments about my pain or crying. This has left me feeling lonely and misunderstood.
It also doesn't help that my husband and mum don't get along very well. I am not expecting them to be the best of friends or anything like that, but I honestly thought the two of them would at least empathize and keep it together instead of putting me in the middle of all the time. My husband thinks that my mum is constantly obsessing over baby - she would run to our room every time she hears her cry and hold her and soothe her until baby is asleep. She is always holding her and very hesitant to pass her to my husband because she thinks that he isn't doing the "right things" to help soothe baby. When I confront my mum about this, she goes on about how my husband is doing things wrong when soothing the baby and how he doesn't know how to take care of baby properly.
The two of them even butt heads at things completely unrelated about baby - one perfect example is cooking dinner. My husband eats a lot as he doesn't eat much during work, so when he comes home from work, he would eat a massive dinner and then some. My mum would help us cook dinner as I am usually nursing or having a nap when she's cooking. My husband would say that she's not cooking enough or she doesn't know how to cook for a family (she's been a single mom since I was around 5 years old). When I pass this comment on to my mum, she would then say that if she cooked too much, food would go to waste if we didn't finish it all and she also said that she could see in my husband's face that he didn't like her cooking so she's not very motivated to cook for us anymore. So now I am put in a position where I have to cut down on my nap and cook for the family right after nursing baby. This leaves me extra tired in during the night feeds, and I would find myself sleeping in during the day - which then pisses my husband off because I am not awake to eat breakfast with him in the morning. When I explain to him that I'm tired because I don't get to nap as much during the day as I am now cooking dinner for the family, he retaliated by saying "isn't this why your mum is here? to help us with things like this?"
The cherry on top of this disaster sundae is that when baby is inconsolably crying, both my mum and husband would immediately turn to me and ask "what's wrong with her? why is she crying?" like I'm supposed to be some magical baby translator. This question really pisses me off. Why can't they try and figure out why she's crying themselves? And almost 90% of the time both my husband and mum would put the baby in my arms and tell me she's hungry when she literally just had a big feed. No. She's not hungry, she's tired. And the both of you have kept her up for too long and she's now cranky. She'll suckle on my painful, sore nipples for comfort and then fall asleep.
I honestly don't even know how to continue like this. I have tried talking to both my husband and mum but they seem to be very set in their own ways. My husband refuses to talk it out with my mum as he thinks he might lose his temper, and my mum is too passive and a pushover to actually say anything to him.
I am at my wit's end. Please help me navigate this.

Disclaimer: I’m not looking to get back with this person, rather understand what they’re doing. I know a lot of answers will be the simple, “you can’t”, but it would be more helpful to receive some insight on my situation. I (25 F) broke up with my ex (29 M) 3 weeks ago. I haven’t decided what I think he has, whether it be NPD, some type of avoidant attachment, or a plethora of other diagnoses for his behavior. I was with him just shy of 2 years, and it was a roller coaster nearly every second. He has some rather extreme childhood familial trauma that was never resolved. I won’t go into details but know it related to abuse and abandonment. Around the time I met him I had encountered a pretty life changing family event of my own. He came along and appeared stable, well off, driven, charming and honestly caught my attention from day one. I didn’t think I was looking for one, but I do think he turned into a distraction for me,(and my fear; a trauma bond). We progressed into a casual relationship, which progressed into a more serious one. This is when the issues began. Fast forward to the end of our relationship, he manipulated, ghosted, lied, gaslit, cheated, etc, the entire time. I got addicted to the BRIEF highs that came from the lows, which were nearly constant.
So to where we are now: we broke up 3 weeks ago. 3 hour long conversation of us both sobbing, saying how much we loved each other, and a lot of him saying how bad of a person he was and couldn’t change. I fully believe that. We went no contact with the exception of following socials. I am currently on a beach trip with one of his good friend’s gf and another friend I met through her (trip was planned before we separated, but still came because I see these girls as friends now). He hadn’t interacted with any of my socials these last 3 weeks, or I with his. I woke up after posting a picture yesterday to myself and the two girls I’m with, who were friends with him far before he even met me, blocked on instagram. What is he doing? Is he going to come back to try to Hoover me? I don’t understand his thought process. I want to stop thinking of him as I know he isn’t for me, but struggling to make sense of the huge game he’s played these past years.

Last night getting to premier was pretty shitty with the backup for the Apex exit. Then I hear that a lot of people waited way long to get out. Are y'all trying to use premier again tonight? My group is considering going the GA route

It’s a long distance relationship, but we’ve known each other for almost two years. We admitted to liking each other and after about four months we started to date officially. It was great the first couple weeks, but then she started sending hundreds of “I love you” and “you’re so beautiful” etc wholesome memes and gifs a day. It was cute at first but it quickly got annoying. I talked to her about it, saying it was a little overwhelming and I would like to be able to talk about things besides how much we like each other. She agreed and after that we were still affectionate of course, just toned down. But starting two weeks ago she started getting bad again. With the constant i love yous, and I want to hold you, and I miss you(how can you miss someone you’ve never met?) we can be talking about video games or our days or what we wanna eat and she’ll suddenly say she loves me or sends me one of those damn memes/gifs. It’s always out of nowhere. It started with one or two but now she’s up to about ten a day. And constantly saying she misses me and wants to hold me. I know i should be grateful she likes me so much but it’s draining. We’re in our 30’s, not high school! It’s getting to the point I want to dump her but I don’t know how. We have a lot of the same online friends.

At first it was fun to see her bull shit and call her out, but now it really actually pisses me off. In my opinion, she represents how corrupt and fucked the beauty industry is when it comes to influencers. Not only is she such a disgusting “role model” for little girls on this app, but her constant body checking, lying about her sizing and “40 pound” weight loss over night is making most women look at themselves and wonder what they’re doing wrong. And yet she still has thousands and thousands of people supporting her bull shit. I used to think she sucked, now I honestly think what she’s doing is VILE. It’s hard for me to even see her posts anymore without it enraging me. She won’t stop until her stans wake the fuck up. But at this point I don’t know what it’s going to take. Here are a few things that she’s done that have still not led to her cancellation or even a popular conversation about how problematic she is.

• Mascaragate: People talked about it for maybe 2 weeks.
  
• “Try being an influencer for a day” this lost her a few followers and got people talking but nothing really happened.
  
• Roe vs. Wade post and lying about her donation: this really stuck with us who are in this sub, maybe even brought a few people in here, but still no real uproar.
  
• Not disclosing an ad/lying about almost every product: a lot of people have caught on, but most of her followers turn a blind eye or trust what she’s saying and think she’s credible.
  
• Facetune and constant editing of her face and body: I believe this is the most prevalent reason for people not supporting her. But once again, her fans will say it’s angles and lighting.
  
• Constant boasting of her wealth and blatantly being out of touch: her fans will say how proud of her they are and how hard working she is.
  
• Not speaking up about Palestine: a lot of people are calling out influencers for their silence on this topic. Yet it hasn’t seemed to affect her following by much at all.
  

What will it take for these mindless sheep to wake the fuck up and realize that she is not a good person? That she constantly lies to capitalize off of their ignorance? Seriously, what are these people getting out of supporting her? SHE DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU. All she wants is your money.

My wife (28f) and I (28M) live in the states. My parents and brother live close by while my wife’s parents and close family all live in Colombia. We have an 8 month old baby. Long story short, she’s flying out to Colombia and my parents want to say goodbye at the airport. We are going to invite them to our place the night before but we wanted that day to be just us 3 at the airport. AITA or in the wrong for telling them this?

Was scrolling through this community and found nothing as incredibly specific as the title I've written today, so I guess I've decided to ask about this considering I'm still processing up to now my experience working for a startup which I resigned from a couple of months ago.
But yeah, just like the title said: anyone here have any particularly terrifying/traumatic/frustrating experiences working for a startup? I'll start:
Some time back, I entered a company in a junior position for a startup whose posting enticed me. What got me was that a) they were near me, and b) the potential for growth seemed promising given the product this startup was peddling around. (Writer's note: I'm not gonna mention the company, the field, or the position here but I might be comfortable sharing some in PM) Signed up and eventually came to have a very mixed relationship with this company. Here are some things that I did appreciate:

1. In the training period that was given to me as I entered the position, it was great to learn a hefty amount of knowledge from the learning modules the company had prepared for training employees in that position. I would say that coupled with some very welcoming and pleasant interactions with the rest of the team that I was a part of, I had fun too.
2. Personal growth was quite significant, especially since I had a hand at ensuring certain matters and tasks assigned to me were delivered as requested. We could also work anywhere as the company head said in their interview with me!

But... what's the problem? Well...

1. Remember that "work anywhere" mantra I mentioned? Well, I felt annoyed because on some mornings whenever the company had a meeting, there would be shortcomings in the delivered output based on who was responsible for it and what would sometimes end up happening is the company head going on an unnecessary tirade that sometimes included about how they think about making people work in the office more because of this. (Okay, probably debatable, but I did not enjoy dealing with this)
2. Actually, more on the boss: apart from turning what is an initially promised 1 hour meeting into a 2/3/4-hr / whole morning one, really really likes to stress work-life balance... but will have the gall to get frustrated when an employee is sick to the point na they'll even try to get someone to contact them while the other person is recuperating. Nakakabastos.
3. Breaking point for me really was this week that we had a bunch of holidays clumped together in the same week, but the impression I got from that morning's meeting was that we didn't deserve to have a break because we weren't meeting goals (and even made it a point to emphasize na if may balak magtrabaho on the holidays to finish deliverables hindi yun counted as special holidays w/c should mean na may multiplier sa pay). This was what prompted me to just eventually resign and search elsewhere.

It's pretty clear that my horror story revolves around how much the company boss ruined any of the good or promising things I saw in this company. Though I'd say it also gave me a hard lesson about being very, very judicious and informed about the startup I'm getting into. I did my research later on and saw that the head really likes to make a lot of these companies/organizations/initiatives in the name of social entrepreneurship. A couple of duplicate companies here and there, di man lang makakuha ng market dito because the competent sales people all left for similar reasons. "Do this because you're making a difference to a lot of people," well the low pay, abusive upper management, and the lack of self-accountability doesn't help justify the lack of sleep and the anxiety I've developed dealing with this type of stuff. (Or the fact that... well, they've been a startup for so long pero mas marami nang nakaangat na companies in the same field established after theirs.)
How about you? Might be useful to hear your thoughts for future readers who are looking to get into the same world soon.

I purchased a Dell desktop recently. Figured it would be a good idea to reuse the boxes to recycle my old desktop, a Compaq Presario. Dell’s website said to delete any data before shipping but the hard drive died long ago and I can’t access anything (hence the replacement). Does Dell delete data while recycling?

I’m worried. I fight myself on what I should do and what I can do. I have been looking for any way to make quick money so I can pay my rent for April and May. I’m backed up bad. I’ve called my local resources but they say they’ll get back to me within time, I don’t have time!
I get these outbursts of anger and feel bad when I take it out on my boyfriend, but he understands. He’s been out of a job too since December and tries to pick up jobs his friends offer but it’s only enough to buy groceries for the week. I left my job recently after two years because it was mentally and physically challenging.
I start a new job soon maybe in two weeks, but I only have $200 in my bank account. It’s not possible to pay my rent and live.
My sister and her baby live with me since November. She was collecting unemployment until recently, but I think she has to reapply to get those benefits again so she says she’s out of money. I only ask her for $200 a month and now that she’s not collecting, she refuses to help. I should mention she has a savings account with her tax money in it, it’s a lot. She does Uber eats for now, and I said even $20 can go a long way for me but she says no. We argued about this situation yesterday and she hasn’t slept here since.
My mom doesn’t talk to me for no reason since November, I tried reaching out but she has me blocked. I haven’t bothered again because she suffers from undiagnosed mental health issues and I have trauma from how she treated me my entire life. My dad lives in South America and doesn’t make much money but helped me with $100. I was so thankful, but I know it won’t be enough.
I don’t want to give up. Everything in my apartment, I bought with my own money. I worked so hard to have my own place after being homeless and living in shelters when I was in high school and college. It sucks to see that I might end up on that path again. I’m trying so hard to prevent that. If I get depressed or my anxiety gets out of control, I could lose everything.
I was in the hospital on Sunday for having an asthma attack and found out I had bronchitis. The hospital gave me the week off and I contemplated going back to my shitty job every night. I looked on indeed for new jobs and found one, but now I’m waiting to start. Thinking of how long until I get paid again is just a pain.
I’m trying to stay strong every day and night. I keep my thoughts to myself but I just needed to share this, I don’t care if no one reads it. I can’t give in to the darkness, I won’t but I’m barely holding on
Edit: I’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this

hi! looking for a pretty decent movie i saw not too awfully long ago.

• found footage esq horror (had a daughter who created a yt channel and filmed a lot of the shots on a camera)
• dad is away from home most of the movie, mom is alone with her two daughters in the house (could be one daughter one son but im 99% sure its two daughters)
• mom calls dad often and the movie seems to want you to think she is mentally ill and paranoid about something unnamed happening
• she slowly starts getting weirder with her children until finally one night she chases them around the dark house trying to kill them (the dad comes home and she kills him first, then the son/daughter, then the girl who films it all last)
• at the end its sort of an alien plot twist where its basically implied that aliens or an other worldly entity came to abduct the family and the mom wasn't crazy afterall and saved her kids and husband from a worse fate
• title was something along the lines of 'what happened to (insert childs name)' '(childs name)'s fate' etc. very copy and paste title. 1 1/2 hour runtime give or take. i watched it on tubi i believe. was a pretty decent movie and wanted to watch it again.
• was relatively recent, no older than 10 yrs id say.

thank you all ! :)

Hi guys, I was looking at buying the auto axe from the item shop as I really need a good melee weapon, long story short, is the auto axe worth the atoms or should I just try something else?

So I used the shitpost flair, but I really had this dream and it was weird. Would love your opinions on this. (It's Sunday where I'm posting from)
So I was supposed to go this place I went with an old couple, myself and one woman and one man. We saw an advertisement of an island, and decided to go there. There we saw that there's some sort of a very big UFO device, which is huge and in a ball shape but it is made as if you've taken a lot of strings and wrapped it around each other. We saw that and got curious to know more about the facility. There were some folks who saw us witness and when we said "Wait what that's a UFO, they said no one is supposed to know about it. So they projected a fake UFO kind of like seen in movies, it was shorter, but looked more like a stereotypical UFO We went back and for some reason we had this 80s TV and that old man who was with me was watching it. He saw the island's advert there were majestic creatures special to that island. And suddenly there was the UFO news, I said it's fake it's fake. Anyway we decided to go there after entering through the desert and forest, We were taken to a school building with stairs and strated by going upstairs in a queue and then putting our bags in locker. After going there was a very tall woman who was the head of the facility, let's say her name is 'Jen' who was taking us somewhere, but quickly we found out that the entire place is some sort of research facility - people were tortured, animals were tortured and mutants were created. We got very scared, and got hold off some laser guns. (that ran on battery, they didn't had enough power). So we took Jen and saw that in the main area of facility - kids and their parents are playing a sport event and we were not allowed to go in there. It was like a simulation, they were too deep in it to see what's going on. We saw one zombie like creature crawling I used the gun to hit him a few times and he died. It felt good. I put the gun to jen and moved ahead. It was a white alley, and we could see the parents and kids on the other side of the door. The left side of the alley was the research facility, it was mostly empty but big. She told me that they change the race by making them go through race transformation, but the problem is that it's so difficult that not many people survive that. We tried to burn some part of her with the gun and she kept begging that it doesn't have enough laser battery. I thought it was logical so I stopped. We took another stair and went up to see that there are small dirty rooms with no light and 4 chains in it. That was the place for experiment. We saw that some rooms were open, in one of the rooms there was a dead guy, tangled in the chains and 20 ft up in the air. It looked very scary and eerie. By that time we had a ghost following us too. (upon Jens request) But we still put her in the room and plugged the transform race button but we forgot to put on the chain because we were so worried and hurrdily closed the iron door. She seemed unfazed and was laughing. I thought she would come back with more superhuman powers and we'll die. Then we put her in and started looking for exits, the woman next to me said that she has to meet someone in the school and I said are you crazy focus on the mission to get out. Then the spirit started chasing us and we ended up near a river which was just next to the stairs that we took to go to the main experiment room. We could still see that dead guy chained up and dead, and Jens room was closed. We had our guns with us and we could sense the ghost. We saw in our mind or dream that it was a woman's ghost, with long hair and shabby clothes. She must be one of the subjects of the experiment here who died and then turned into a ghost. She tried to capture us in the water and I was convinced that I am dead now. Then suddenly we heard that old man with me started playing live TV on mobile and I understood immediately what was happening. He blew the cover of the facility online and military was about to come The TV still looked like it's from the 1980s Suddenly, the ghost disappeared and I could hear on love TV that everyone is shocked about the discovery of strange creatures and experiments Then we saw hordes of police and other people coming in, tourists coming in as well. We felt a sense of relief. We also saw some Indian women in saree who came to do prayer (puja) in the river. All while Jen's room was locked up and the other room with the dead guy was open. Then the river turned into beer, as soon as the beer ad was coming on TV. We stayed inside the river bank for sometime We went back, got rescued, but I still had my bag in the locker. So I went back again, and asked the old woman with me where is it, somehow she knew. I found it and then we were going back through the forest on a motor boat and we saw a UFO and everyone in the news said "UFO sighting" but I was sure it wasn't a real one. Then we all came back home to tell the tale. At the end, like it happens in movie credits, there was a file given to me and I wrote "Subject Name: My Name" Used in: Room 880, Room 001 880 was the initial room they kept me and 001 was the superhuman transformation one.

At this point I might as well try to play every souls like so give me some recommendations. I have played and beaten:

1. Dark Souls
2. Dark Souls 2
3. Dark Souls 3
4. Demons Souls
5. Bloodborne
6. Sekiro
7. Elden Ring
8. Lies of P
9. WoLong Fallen Dynasty
10. Thymesia
11. Nioh 1

Currently playing Nioh 2 and plan to get to Lords of the Fallen, Another Crabs Adventure, and Mortal Shell next. Have also beaten games like Hollow Knight and Jedi series but don’t exactly consider those soulslikes in the same way. Am I missing any good ones? Heard of maybe Surge and Code Vein?

About an hour ago, I wrote that post in another forum, but I noticed there is a more specialized one for my situation. That's why it's the same, but it also has some additional details and questions for those who had similar experiences and can recommend some possible solutions for me. Thanks.
THE POST:
Well, hello.
^{I just want to write some stuff because I have no one to tell and make myself a bit calm. I know that sounds a bit selfish, so I'm really sorry for that. Delete my post, please, if it's in the wrong forum.}
As you can already know from the title, I'm a twenty-year-old guy who's just a bit confused.
My parents have been married for over 25 years and have been together for over 30 years. They started their lives again from nothing because they gave all their stuff to their exes and kids and then earned enough money through hard work to be able to spend the rest of their lives without working, just doing their hobbies. They were happily living in their own house together that they wanted and had dreams and plans for the next decades to happily live together here.
However, they almost broke up once when I was a kid, but their friends helped them renew their relationship. I still remember that day and hoped that would never happen again, but here it is.
And, it happened again yesterday. It began from a small thing that shouldn't have been a trigger. I initially thought it was a joke because I thought that couldn't happen due to such a small thing like choosing where to buy something.
I tried to talk with both of them in hopes of helping them restore their relationship because I also saw that my mom really wanted to restore it, and somehow I understood what was going on. I understood it as their inability to objectively talk about their relationship and problems that happened over the last years led to this. They just don't want to seriously apologize to each other due to their pride.
At first, I laughed a bit and felt positive, thinking this situation could be easily solved, but today I understand that it is almost impossible to save their relationship. They don't really want to hear me right now, especially my dad, and there are, sadly, no more friends nearby who could try to help them like before. I'm actually in a panic right now, but I don't want to show it, hoping that this situation can still be solved. Most of their close friends once said that they are the ones who will never break up due to the things that they went through.
Dad tried to calm me down somehow by saying that I have an apartment and some money in a bank assigned to me, so I'll be completely fine and will have a roof over my head and will be able to finish college, but for me, it's not about money. It's about their relationship, and I worry about them.
I know that if they actually break up, they will no longer live together and there is a low chance that they will be able to find someone else they love due to their age and personality. They still suit each other so well but just don't want to talk normally about that pity problem due to their characters.
I'm still really depressed due to the war that is going on in my country and now also have this. Unfortunately, I don't really have friends because all who I know are not really close to me. I really like my parents and was always talking with them a lot. Right now, I'm a college student who is really confused. I just feel that too much shit has dropped on me in the last two years. I just started to feel somewhat good a few months ago when I finally understood what I'm actually interested in (yeah, I understood that by already being a college student) and now have this too...
^{Thank you, Reddit, for giving me a chance to write this whiny post. I know that it will likely get zero attention, but the main point for me was to express my feelings somewhere, knowing that it will be more or less anonymous.}
Well, here are some additional details and questions...
As you could probably understand from that text, my parents are the whole world to me. We had a great relationship. I don't really have friends or someone else to talk to about this.
This situation is a shock for me because only now do I understand that I probably won't be able to stop it; I might even make it worse.
My mom doesn't want to divorce and would love to stay with my dad, but he radically wants to move and sell the house that they built and dreamed of for a long time. Just two days ago, the day before that all happenned, they were both happily talking about how satisfied they were to have it. I just see that she is broken right now because her dreams are crushed.
Yes, as I said, I think it's the fault of both of them, but Dad is just unemotional. When she was panicking and crying about what is going on with him and why his views suddenly changed, he just said nothing and, without any emotions, went to his room without saying anything. I tried to talk with him, but he didn't really want to talk seriously and mostly said that I have enough money and an apartment to care for myself for some time. I just can't understand what is going on with him; he has suddenly become another person that I don't know.
Meanwhile, my mother has somehow admitted that this situation is both their faults, but Dad just says that it's only her fault and he doesn't see any fault on his part. Maybe computer game addiction changed him, or what? For the last few years, he has been playing computer games a lot (actually almost 24/7) and was staying in bed with his laptop almost always, only getting out of bed to eat or poop. Dad was really active person before, unbelievably active. But know he's not even washing or brushing his teeth much and proudly saying that he became the best player in one MMO.
I just still don't understand what is going on. Do I have to stay with my mom? Right now, I'm planning to. I just see her crushed, and I'm scared about that. She was always so strong with so much energy, but right now she looks so defeated, like everything she had is completely destroyed, while my father is just emotionless and doesn't really want to talk. When I'm trying to talk with him he's just looking to the the screen of the laptop and not really listening me.

ೃ༄🐛ೃ༄ introduction ೃ༄🐛ೃ༄

if you are involved in the shifting community, you may have seen the mention of some sort of 'lifa app' with no explanation as to what it is. sometimes, in scripts, it will say stuff such as...
'when i shift to this reality, i will have a lifa app to check in on my cr self and it cannot be deleted or destroyed.'
but what is the app that everyone is talking about? is it an actual app or sort of app in another reality that everyone just knows of?
in this post, i will be explaining the lifa app as a full guide of how to use it. its features, and what it is.

༊·˚🌿 what is the lifa app? ༊·˚🌿

the lifa app is a reality shifting based app that lets you keep track of your dr or multiple drs in literally every way imaginable. from the time it is to your memories. it even gives you diary entries for yourself. it is meant to be used as a tool to help shifters keep track of all of their information about them and their dr. it also allows a gateway to meet other shifters like yourself and shift with them to the same reality.

｡･ﾟﾟ･ 🥞 🥯 features 🥯 🥞 ･ﾟﾟ･｡

the lifa app has many features. the main ones you can see first are dr details, visualizations, group shifting, sharing.
let's go over each feature one by one.

: ̗̀➛ dr details

the first thing that you will get when you are greeted by this an i icon that says about this dr. when you click on it, you are able to type the location and a background story about your desired reality.
: ̗̀➛ time
this feature allows you to add a time and date to your dr. time will pass the same as it does here. for example in my dr, it is currently november 19, 2130 and is 1:47 pm. i chose to freeze time in this dr and submitted it.
: ̗̀➛ theme
this holds the name of what your dr is called, the icon it has, and the background of it when you click on the app. you can also choose the font color and a background tint as well. it also holds your name in your dr.
: ̗̀➛ timeline
you are able to establish a timeline of your desired reality before the point that you shift. i recommend keeping it brief to the important stuff. main instances of childhood and things that you remember with the same importance as you do now.
: ̗̀➛ notion script
this feature is if you have a script on the website notion script. it is a website in which you can gather and fill in shifting templates and is a great way to organize yourself. this is not necessary though. there are other features you can use for your script on here.
: ̗̀➛ about me
this is just a section where you write all about yourself. your name, your age, nicknames, safe word, height, hometown, ethnicity, race, nationality, sexuality, pronouns, gender, language(s), positive traits, negative traits, habit, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and skills.
: ̗̀➛ relationships
when you enter this tab, it will take you to a screen that has a place where you can add family members, friends, pets, significant other(s) or 'other'. the other tab has you in it.
when you decide to add let's say a friend, you start off by adding their name. then there age, closeness, and appearance. you can follow that up by adding a photo of said friend. you can type in relationship dynamic, how you met, and extra info. the format is the exact same no matter the type of relationship aside from pets.
the pet section is a little bit different. you add their name, age, species, pet bed, size, and about them.
there is also a recorder option where you can move around the placements of these characters.
: ̗̀➛ scenarios
this includes upcoming scenarios that you had planned, past scenarios that you did while in your reality, desired upcoming scenarios that include no date but you want to do or have plans to do. finally, you have memories which has no date. these are things that you will automatically remember when in your dr.
it's just a brief section where you can type in a title and add as much as you want of details of that memory. you can add a photo and select if it has a date or if it is a past memory or not.
: ̗̀➛ calendar
this just has the date of your dr. you can also create events on specific dates. that's pretty much it, this section is short.
: ̗̀➛ diary
you can write diary entires. talk about your day, memories, anything that may make you feel closer to your dr. this section is also short.
: ̗̀➛ playlist
so is this one. you make a playlist. and link the playlist, whenever you open the playlist, you get a new tab that takes you to that playlist to listen. i use it to keep my shifting subliminal playlist, but you don't have to.
: ̗̀➛ hero/villain
this is a tab within a tab so i'm bolding it. the first tab is customize, but that feature is locked behind a paywall with a monthly subscription of $3.99. i will talk about the subscription later.
then you have powers. you type the name of it and what your powers do. you have weapons which have the same explanation as powers. missions means you can make your own missions.
then there is combat skills. you list your strength, speed, agility, intelligence, compatibility, stamina, and flexibility out of five. then you can add your backstory. it's a blank sheet where you can type it out.
next is costumes where you describe what your costume looks like.
ally team includes your team name, how well you work together, specific events and upcoming battles, and other details. you can also add relationships from your relationship section and names of that.
enemy team is relatively the same. a team name, specific events or battles, other details, and can once again, select relationship with each member.
finally, there is timeline which has a title and description. you can also add scenarios if needed.
thankfully, that is thee last feature about dr details and we can now move on to visualizations.

: ̗̀➛ visualizations ‧₊˚🖇️✩

this tab focuses all on the visual aspects of your desired reality. even if you can't visualize, you can still use these to get a good idea on what things will look like.
: ̗̀➛ appearence
you can add a hair claim, face claim, body claim, hand claim, voice claim, and specific features claim. personally, i think that the last one could be explained easily in body or face claim.
either way, when you press one of these tabs, you can type in a detailed description on what you look like. now, i didn't notice at first but all the way at the bottom will be a small section that says add photo to which you can go into your gallery and choose a photo for yourself on that specific claim.
: ̗̀➛ wardrobe
this section will include an area that says wardrobe. you press the giant + sign on the top right hand corner and it takes you to a section that says create wardrobe. all you gotta do is add a title and a description. once you do that, you click on the tab again and then add a photo of a specific outfit of yours. you can add multiple photos, move them around using the recorder option right next to photos.
: ̗̀➛ photo gallery
you can make multiple photo galleries , customize albums of different things relating to your dr.
: ̗̀➛ pinterest boards
here you can add the link to your pinterest board...and a title. that's about it.
: ̗̀➛ wallet
this does not connect to any funds in this reality. it's supposed to keep track of money in your dr. i find this feature a bit dumb tbh and seems to waste more time preparing to shift than actually shifting.
: ̗̀➛ outfits
again, this is the same as wardrobe but more customized. you can add each individual clothing item separately if you wanna do that.
: ̗̀➛ belongings
you add photos and a title of what you own and its sentiment. yeah.
: ̗̀➛ or self
it has a stick figure of you. you list your family, what they're doing, their location, and your action, mood, and location.
: ̗̀➛ music group dr
without paying, you can only add one music group and one album. there is a members tab but you need a monthly subscription in order to access it.
i use this feature in one dr to describe my favorite band to listen to and an album i like. if you wanna add more than one album, then you also need to pay,
: ̗̀➛ school app
this is a doozy and has multiple tabs so this will be rapid fire.
you have your student i.d. report card, schedule.
schedule contains period, subject, and teacher. your school in your dr. you can add a photo, location, mascot, colors, class song, traditions, and history of your school.
you can also add your school uniform if you have one. this includes daily uniform and gym uniform. you can add a school map and a yearbook (????????)
again, these are fine i think but the yearbook seems unnecessary, just script who is in your class with you.
also there's a teacher mode but you can only access that with payment.
: ̗̀➛ chat
you can make a chatroom. and roleplay as every single member in that chatroom...for some reason. i don't need to repeat myself here, you already know what i'm going to say.
: ̗̀➛ chat ai
this is locked behind a paywall. just use character ai, it's free and you don't have a limit of 200 messages per day.
: ̗̀➛ family tree
for some reason you can't add siblings. the only way to add siblings kinda is to make them have the same parents as you on a new family tree.
this is just so not necessary. just write down your siblings in your script. no need for your entire extended bloodline. the universe will figure that out.
: ̗̀➛ places
you add places in your dr.
: ̗̀➛ fame phone
you can make a knock off insta account, twitter account, a wikipedia, and a youtube. again, not needed. just shift. also the settings and notifications features are locked behind a paywall.

: ̗̀➛ group shifting

you need to convert your account into an online account. but you can connect with other people and plan to shift together as a group. for those that don't know, group shifting is where you and one or more people collectively decide to shift to the same dr as different people and basically share an experience in that dr.

: ̗̀➛ sharing

the exact same thing as above. except this time you can just share your dr. you need an account to access this feature. it can give others ideas on scripts, drs, or anything else of the sort. it can be a great way to connect with others.

𓍯𓂃ᥫ᭡.🩹 final thoughts 𓍯𓂃ᥫ᭡.🩹

i think some of its features are helpful! however, other parts of it can be very distracting from shifting. i almost felt like this was an oc maker rather than shifting app. some of these i think didn't need so many features. the amount of features there are is crazy. the features section alone i needed to divide into several sections because it took so much longer to get through than i initially thought. it took about two hours to review each of them and i had to take breaks in between. to a new shifter especially, this would be so overwhelming.
you don't need face claims, body claims, or special features claims. as long as you have a general idea of what you and your desired reality is like then you're fine. this is just gonna over complicate shifting and make it seem more fictional in a way. if anything, this makes you less connected to your desired reality since your focusing so much on this one.
it wouldn't be a waste to download it but i wouldn't recommend buying it. but if you do, then more power to you.
please stay safe and happy shifting ᥫ᭡
