2024.05.19 10:09 Particular_Board4707 I told my girlfriend she wasn’t making her parents proud while she was driving so she threatened to crash the car. WITAH

My girlfriend is in college and recently she visited for family. Whenever she does visit i’ll always go on a drive in with her in her car (I’ll be able to take my driving test next year). We usually go to get food, and thats what we did last week. When she was driving she began to talk about her schooling and how she was considering taking a break for a semester next year. I’m not usually a person to argue but I questioned her why she was doing this because she was going through with her studies and stuff super well, atleast thats what she was says. She said she just felt she needed to take a break, but I responded that she wasn’t thinking smartly.
It gets a little foggy from here, but I remember she was telling me to apologize. I kept doubling down on what I said though, and I said that she wasn’t making her parents proud because they grew up poor and went to America just for their daughter to not be making the most of her time (something like that, I can’t really remember everything)
After I said this she started touching and pushing me while she was urging me to say sorry. fyi we are still on the road. I kept not saying sorry, and when we got to a red light my girlfriend told me she was going to crash the car if I didn’t say sorry. I thought she was just joking until when she started driving she began to swerve the car a little side to side
I started to kinda cry and I apologized. I think I said sorry a few times until she stopped. After we still actually got food, but after she dropped me off at my house I haven’t seen her in person again. We’ve talked on ft but not about this situation. She has anger issues but we never talk about them.

2024.05.19 10:09 Original-Ad-8779 cant get over a girl I was in a situationship.

i am a 20M and this other person is a 19F. So about a month or 2 ago, I was in a situation for around 6 or 7 months with this one girl. this girl is someone I've had history from a few years ago where we cut ties for a few years and somehow reconnected before college started again. i have never felt any way for this girl and never liked a girl for this long ever. even tho we called it a "situationship" we completely acted as if we were dating. I would pick her up from parties, take her to wherever she needed to go, and she would crash at my apartment for nearly 6 to 7 months every weekend. the weekend was the only thing i was looking forward to during the entire week i simply did not care if i had anything else planned.
fast forward 6-7 months, we get to the "what are we?" question. i straight up tell her that I have feelings for her and ask her if she is against the idea of a relationship which she answers she is not, but she has to figure out if she is attached to me or if she actually has feelings for me. a little over 2 weeks, she sits me down again and she tells me she is most likely attached and tells me that she wants to end things since if we dont, it will just be a cycle with no end, and there is a possibility where we would get even more hurt if it lasts any longer.
a little over 2 months has passed since that talk and we are still good friends but i can not get this girl out of my head. im constantly thinkings about her and trying to make plans during the weekend if i dont have anything to do. the first thing i do when i wake up is to see if i have a notification from her. i havent had a feeling like this for a girl ever. ( i want her so fucking bad).
im coming to the conclusion that im just going to keep on having feelings for her but not telling her or hoping this feeling eventually fades away. but im 100% sure there's always going to be a thought in the back of my mind that i want to eventually want to get together with her.
im genuinely in a have no clue if my current plan is valid or not. what should i do?

2024.05.19 10:07 Arabila What's Your Opinion On cosori pro ii Air Fryer?

I've been eyeing the Cosori Pro II Air Fryer for a while now and I'm seriously considering getting one. However, before I make the leap, I'd love to hear from those who have already experienced it firsthand.
Here are a few specific questions I have:
  1. Performance: How well does it actually cook? Are the results consistent? I'm particularly interested in its ability to crisp up foods without using a ton of oil.
  2. Capacity: Is the size sufficient for a family meal or larger gatherings? I want something that can handle cooking for multiple people without needing to batch cook.
  3. Ease of Use: How intuitive is it to operate? I'm not the most tech-savvy person, so I'm hoping for something that's straightforward and user-friendly.
  4. Cleaning: This is a big one for me. How easy is it to clean? Are there any nooks and crannies that are difficult to reach?
  5. Durability: For those who have had it for a while, how is it holding up? Any issues with longevity or build quality?
  6. Extra Features: Does it come with any additional features or accessories that you find particularly useful or convenient?
  7. Overall Satisfaction: Lastly, would you recommend the Cosori Pro II Air Fryer to others? Any standout pros or cons that potential buyers should be aware of?
Feel free to share your thoughts, experiences, and any tips or tricks you've discovered along the way. Your input would be immensely helpful in my decision-making process. Thanks in advance for your insights!

2024.05.19 10:07 Practical_Appearance Feeling guilty about boarding my cats

I'm going away for a week and decided to have my 2 cats boarded at a cat hotel. My Siamese boy is very temperamental and accident prone. Just in the last year he broke his foot, got his ear torn, and got impaled by palisade fencing twice.
Last year I had a friend stay at my place to take care of them, but when I returned my Siamese had an injury on his back that my friend didn't notice (don't blame my friend, took me 2 days to notice the injury because it was covered by his fur).
If he has another injury, it will be too hard for someone else to get him in his carrier and take him to the vet. Keeping him indoors is not really an option, I live in a tiny garden flat with a huge garden, and he figured out how to open the windows to get out. He also broke his foot while inside.
The girl kitty is chilled and I'm sure she'll be fine. And I do think this will be the safest option for them. But I feel so incredibly guilty and I know this will stress out my Siamese a lot. Am I making the right choice here? Just really need some reassurance and maybe hear about other people's experiences

2024.05.19 10:06 Salty_Stop9632 Can't digest protein, fat and starchs, is there something more than Sibo like MCAS

I have severe digestive issues for years. Since early 24, I am barely able to eat.
I was diagnosed last year with IMO and SIBO. Doing a microbiome test by Biomesight soon. (no Triosmart here).
Every time I eat meat, fish, fat, rice, I feel full immediately, brain fogged, fatigue, can't do anything. Food seems stuck. I feel so full and inflamed and spasmed from the rectum to the throat (congestion). I have done capsule, colonoscopy, endoscopy, it was ok. I did 2 rounds of rifaximin+neomycin without success. I tried carnivore for 3 weeks which worsened my state, so as allimed and berberine.
I have esophagitis and reflux. Now taking PPI for two weeks as it seems to help a bit to relieve the throat congestion and reflux.
I think I have H2S but I don't understand how it can be so severe and if there is not something else like MCAS or a stomach issue (low stomach acid but it sounds too simple).
I also have bladder burning, peeing so many times a day and itchy scalp.
But apart from digestive issues, I don't seem to have classic crashes like MCAS. Eating just makes me miserable.

2024.05.19 10:06 recursiverealityYT Most interesting things I've been told by ETs.

I made a post a couple days ago here and it got alot more interest than I thought it would get. I have other experinces I would like to share but they don't fit as nicely into a short story like the last one so I thought I would just share a few of the more interesting things I've been told directly and leave out the smaller details leading up to it and stuff like that.
So in one experince I was again in this black void like space just like my other post if you happened to read it. I was in this void and this being had me create this object using my mind. The object I made was like a 3d triangle that twisted like an infinity sign at the corners and had a certain design on it. The details of the object is not really important but I made it by just simply imagining it like you would create and manipulate something in your minds eye. What the being told me was one of the most profound things I've ever been told by NHI. It said "just how you made that object there is a more evolved being that has made you and everything you know in the same way".
So the next one is from negative NHI that actually showed me around there ship a little. I never got to see them directly but I have good reason to think they were reptilian or at least they made it clear they had some kind of association. Just a little backstory there ship was one of the most surreal things I've ever seen. There ship from what I could see was massive and looked like it was carved out of one giant slab of some kind of polished black stone. It was so eerie and beautiful at the same time. So I'm familiar with computers I used to work as a programmer and this being I'm sure knew this and I guess just decided to tell me all this. He showed me this monolith looking thing jutting out of the floor next to a shallow pool of water that he insinuated was some kind of computer. He turned my focus to it and told me how there are some "high ranking officers" (as in US military) that they allow to roam freely on there ship. He told me how one of these military officers attempted to steal there operating system. He told me that there operating system has the ability to send a signal back to there ship if it is reproduced on another machine. Then he gave me a vision of a human sized rat scurrying though a dirty room and then of the rat being killed by a man with a knife(the man was an annunaki and I don't really know what to make of it) insinuating that that's what they did to the officer. There is more to that one but that was the most interesting part. I was also told "we don't want to kill you we want to enslave you" in this almost giddy tone while being showed there preffered future for humanity. It was bumper to bumper traffic everywhere and big families in little apartments lol He was serious but there was asense of humor to it.
To leave off with something positive when I was a kid I was raised christain so all I knew was christianity and that aliens were real because of my experinces. So I was visited by very small benevelont greys not the normal kind at all and a being made of light. Long story short at one point I asked one of the greys if I would go to heaven because I was terrified of going to hell at the time. It kind of snickered not in a mean way but like it had to think how to answer this loaded and ignorant question. It said "everybody returns to heaven" . Btw it was not endorsing christianity but it was more like acknowledgment that there was something to the idea of heaven and everybody returns at least eventually.
Out of everything that's probably the top three most interesting things I've been told personally not including my other post.

2024.05.19 10:06 Lazy_Neighborhood_91 What real life moment of a 'ship' raised your standards to unattainable nights?

What real life moment of a 'ship' raised your standards to unattainable nights?
Recently i saw this BTS of Two Worlds and this scene just showed me and reminded me how Max always...always makes Nat a priority...even when they are nearly drowning. He's such a gentleman all the time and Wow...my future husband has some high standards to meet🥲🥲
Also remember that moment when Fort gave Peat presents for every birthday of his he missed since Pear's birth. Like that just slayed me through and through.
When Mix was crying talking about his and Earth's break up era...i just felt the depth and realness of their relationship..whatever it may be.😭
There are many such moments in Bl...moments which draw in fans and even make some go all crazy and start thinking these ships may be real.
What are some off screen scenes of Bl couples that made you go Awe, shed a tear or two or just think to yourself 'Maybe?'

2024.05.19 10:05 Malal-the-lost-God Helldivers 2 Idea dump

A dump for ideas I've been thinking about for Helldiver's. Let me know what you think and feel free to add your own.
Disclaimer: some of these ideas may have been mentioned here in this subreddit, on a different subreddit, on YouTube, or anywhere else on the Internet. I'm not in the business of stealing other people's ideas and will never claim any of these as soley mine.
Armor Passives
Electrical Conduit (reworked): Provides Arc damage Resistance to yourself and nearby teammates + ignore stun from EMS effects
Hydraulic Assisted: Improve Weapon Ergonomics + increase Melee damage and stagger
Flame Retardant: Ignore damage over time from fire + fire effects on surfaces that you create last 4 seconds longer
Internal Targeting System: Your drone and sentry strategems will avoid shooting friendly helldiver's including yourself + shows trajectory of projectiles before shooting or throwing them.
Strategems
Orbital Incindiary Airburst Strike: Launches a single Incindiary laiden projectile that detonates mid air covering a large area in fire.
Orbital Arc Strike: Sends down a large Arc beam comparable to a bolt of lightning that targets the tallest enemy in the area then arcs to the next tallest, and the next tallest, and so on up to 5 times.
Pelican Overwatch: Call in the Pelican Gunship to follow and hover above you providing overwatch with it's high caliber autocannon.
DRT-10 Syringe gun: Call in a syringe gun that uses compressed air to launch hypodermic needles at high velocities to your teammates. The drug cocktail contained inside will temporarily increase a helldiver's speed, Melee damage, reload speed, and weapon ergonomics as well as providing the standard stim healing and stamina effects. These syringes duration can be increased by the MED-Kit armor passive. These syringes have no effect on enemies.
LAS-202 Gatling: Call in a multibarreled, rotary, laser Gatling Gun as a support weapon. Comes with a backpack required for use and does not need reloading but will overheat after frequent use and requires a brief cool down period.
FLAM-12 Heat Gun: Call in a short two handed "heat gun" rifle originally designed for industrial welding in the vacuum of space to obliterate foes with a wide beam of superheated air hotter than the surface of the sun.
Weapons And grenades
LAS-15 Falchion: A Laser SMG similar to the Sickle with higher damage, slower fire rate, more inaccuracy, and the one handed trait.
LAS-27 Hammer: A laser Shotgun with a variable spread determined by how long you hold down on the trigger. The longer you hold, the more accurate.
ARC-5 Cranky (name pending): An arc pistol designed with a hand operated crank used to charge it. After cranking the pistol 3 times the pistol will be "charged". Once charged firing the pistol will result in 3 high powered arc bolts being discharged from the gun operating in a similar manner to that of the Blitzer.
P-93 Dart: A pistol designed to shoot non-lethal darts that stick to surfaces and enemies and act as a homing beacon for the next strategem used by the operator.
G-17: An arc based grenade with a small charge up time that sends out 3 high damage arc bursts that can arc to additional enemies up to 2 times each.
G-1 Grenade: A cheap "ballistic grenade" as dubbed by the ministry of truth. It's effectiveness is only outmatched by its plentifullness. (It's a rock)

2024.05.19 10:05 strange_place123 Disturbingly high emotions that last maybe a week, two weeks at best? Then burn out. What, why, and how do I manage it better?

As of maybe the last several months, it's become common for me to have a string of really good days. But they don't last.
And when I say really good, I mean REALLY good. I'm on my A game, I'm confident, I'm social, I'm hilarious... yeah I still have a low hum of depression/anxiety in the background but it's very easy to manage.
However, it's not always easy to manage these good moods and I can get so swept up in it that I accidentally burn myself out - it's like my brain short circuits and forces me to shut down.

Recently I had about two weeks of very high emotions and was the most social I'd been in a while. I got to a point where I could manage it fairly well, but my emotions (good and bad) were still very sensitive.
One day I only slept for 2 hours yet went clubbing the night after because I had so much energy. That has never happened.
After the two weeks, I became overstimulated at work and felt very self destructive, anxious, then so depressed and exhausted that I couldn't sit up and had to take two days off.
Is it just burn out? Maybe I should have socialised less, despite really wanting to? But I don't like ignoring my desires.
Is this something anyone else has had? I just want to understand how it works and if I can do anything to manage it better.
Context:
I'm an adult, female, not on any new meds or new drugs, and may also have autism and ADHD.
People do tend to overstimulate me, but I'm usually a lot better at managing my social battery.

2024.05.19 10:05 KindTurnover2872 Please help/seeking advice/support

everyone I just want to vent about something
I am 16 years old and after a very toxic relationship I soon became very depressed it was a very serious depressive episode I would say I was in my bed just rotting for all of October 2022 is when it started and really that depression took a while to curb and is now back from my arthritis symptoms. I had completely lost my appetite and really, I would eat nothing all day. I don’t know how I did it, I had nearly 7 seizures last year.. but I was so extremely depressed from such toxic people who were still trying to crawl back into my life. I’ve almost lost or I have lost 20 pounds in a year from the depression. I was always perfectly fine for my whole life.. I don’t know how to feel this is really hard for me mentally. I feel disabled I feel like my opportunities are reduced. I feel like as if I’m still struggling with the denial. So my parents definitely noticed my weight loss last year but didn’t really do anything to help me like take me to a doctor and I also didn’t advocate for myself as I was in so deep into my depressive episode so I can also blame myself I guess. But that’s what my problem is.. my mother blames me for my arthritis and everyone in my life is denying at the moment I think everyone is in shock as well. I got into an argument with my father a couple days about something petty and I had told him my arthritis has given me a short temper and made me an angrier person, he said you don’t have sh*t and it made me feel very invalidated and angry and I told him the first stage is denial maybe that wasn’t the best choice of words but I know he might just be in denial and hurt as well as my dad so I am not thinking about what he said too much. My symptoms really started Nov 2023 once in the morning I was brushing my hair before school and I felt a very tight pain in my wrist when I had moved my hand a certain direction because my hair is curly and needs a lot of maintenance, I knew this was a big red flag as I had never felt that before. Then the real pain started the joint pain, aching, dullness, burning, tense pain I feel deep in my bones that i know is arthritis 💔 I am so scared and worried for my future . My symptoms were the worst in winter, where my body would hurt all the time in the cold!! I dropped from 115 lb to almost 96-97 now i know I am unhealthy and doing my best to gain it back I am also 5’1. Also, whenever I move in class my body pops so extremely loud.. to have arthritis at this age in the school setting is so incredibly humiliating and confusing and difficult… I always have to crack my knuckles to ease the pressure built in them after I’m done writing, sometimes I feel the worst of all is I’ve lost my beautiful body that people used to compliment me on, I have genetic cystic acne and wear glasses so it really was the only thing that did make me feel good enough which hurts me to say. I wonder when I go to school what people think of me, I’ve even lost my best friend and friend group because I’m not beautiful like them anymore. It sounds stupid but it’s true my hair being very short due to the shrinkage in curly hair does make me look a bit ugly I have short hair now but it’s growing as i try to gain weight.. how i feel is what is the point of life if I am always suffering 💔 and why me💔 my parents can’t afford even clothes and food for me now they have to buy me medicine i don’t even think they are taking me seriously unfortunately… as the oldest daughter in an immigrant household they always expected me to know how to raise myself and now when i need them they aren’t here😔 it’s hard to write in class and even stay awake, i was always a sleepy person but arthritis is a different.. exhaustion. I feel as if there’s nothing to live for, I am emotionally drained and numbed I almost feel like I’m losing it sometimes. I wish we had a support group for very young people dealing with arthritis because I feel like my life is robbed from me but i only have myself to blame I guess 💔😔

2024.05.19 10:05 Dolida_ Suggestions on changing career paths?

I wanted to reach out today with a question in regards to wanting some advice. I’m a 27f because of multiple reasons I never attended college or completed any kind of degree, mostly from the financial aspect a couple of years back I decided to take a course to become a medical assistant. Thus far has only yielded me low 40k yearly, I’ve always wanted to be in the medical field but I’m starting to think that I’m needing a change in career, I’ve been inclined for tech but don’t have any idea of where to get started, for reference I live in Georgia and I’m not sure if anything has changed but when I tried to apply locally to a college I was last told to attend I’d have to pay as an international student which as you can imagine is pretty costly, I know I could maybe take out loans or attempt to cash flow myself back through a degree but obviously with limited income and to at this age go back to school is a bit worrying on top of that I’m a single mom to a kid with medical needs, I guess all of this to say that I’d just like some insight on career paths with a bit better salary and suggestions and or advice on how I could make my way into those careers.

2024.05.19 10:05 ggwplucky [Abandoned Pools] Sony Connect Track by Track Interview

[Abandoned Pools] Sony Connect Track by Track Interview
A while back I was messing around with the Wayback Machine & came across this diamond in the rough on AP's MySpace page. Also found some photos, but most importantly, a track-by-track [Armed To The Teeth] interview from Sony Connect that they did back in '05 (presumably around the same time they did the Sony Connect set with the acoustic songs).
In the interview, Tommy tells the story behind each track on Armed To The Teeth (except Lucky). You'll also find tidbits about the process, lyrically & sonically of these songs, and much more!
If you want to read it/see it from the "raw" source and discover more, here's a link with the Wayback's capture I found on the interview blog: https://web.archive.org/web/20071005015435/http://www.myspace.com/abandonedpools
Now without further ado, the Sonic Connect Interview:
A track by track discussion of Armed to the Teeth from the Sony Connect Store interview:
LETHAL KILLERS TW: As far as how that [demo of the] song was constructed ... I did this trick where I would take a half-time drum loop and sort of nudge it one way and then put in another track and nudge it the other, and we got this sort of double time, rolling drum feel. So that - plus the sort of round-robin type of guitar parts that we have going - was sort of a very easy construction for a song. And then you start moving the bass part around, and, boom, you've got a song.
But I think that lyrically - I want to make it clear that that song isn't necessarily [about] "church is bad, government's bad." I think it's a little bit more complicated than that, though sometimes if you mix the two of religious power and government power, that can be bad for both of them. And I kinda like the idea of not living a life saying, "Well, you better live life in a certain way because then, you know, everything's gonna be great later in heaven." You know, the idea of, like, if this is all we have now, if that idea was just a little bit more embraced, our world could be a little bit better. I just find that a little bit more satisfying, too, if you think like, this is all you have and then you're gonna die. [Laughs] It seems a little bit more like, "Oh, okay, well!" instead of, like, thinking that there's some other life at some other time and you can put things off.
RABBLE TW: Well, a lot of the songs on this record - about two-thirds of it - have to do with a relationship I had that went south, and you know when you go through relationships you always have such a good 20/20 hindsight about things. And I think "Rabble" is just trying to basically say to somebody, "I just wanted to know you better" . . . It's just one of those things where, with this relationship in particular, I wish it would have turned out better. And there's a lot of things that happened that shouldn't have happened, and it's just sort of one of those "oh, what could have been?" scenarios.
THE CATALYST TW: "The Catalyst" is definitely along the same lines. I think the main line in that one is "I wish I could say something beautiful to make you fall in love again." There's a Coachella reference in there, too: "Love has slowly faded away like spotlights shining into space." Have you ever been to Coachella? Of course you have. You know, there's all those spotlights that shoot up in the air. I just thought that was kinda cool, like, how far do those lights really go? "The Catalyst" was also the last song written for the record. It was demoed while we were in the studio. And it's one of those songs that I said two-thirds of the record was written for somebody. That's one of them.
TIGHTER NOOSE TW: "Tighter Noose" is the oldest song on the record by far. It was probably written back in '99, 2000, or somewhere in there. I was thinking about it for the first record [2001's Humanistic], but it didn't really fit in with those kind of songs, so I kept it around and we'd even play it live occasionally. I think it fits in with these songs way better. [As for what "Tighter Noose" is about,] that song is one of those breaking-off-on-your-own- what-have-you-got-to-lose kind of things, because that was written sort of in the wake of when I was in The Eels. It wasn't a terribly happy situation, so I was like, well screw it, I'm just gonna go off and do my own thing. And then it's sort of like, well, you know: "I'm gonna go start my own thing. Uh, I have to learn to sing and write songs now." [Laughs] It's kinda funny: "Screw you guys! I'm gonna go get a deal!" And then like, "Uh oh." But really, I'm a firm believer in that [idea that] you just gotta go for it. And so it was like, well, this is gonna be difficult, but it's gonna be better than what I had before. And actually, with some distance on that situation, I realized I made the right decision and made a lot more money and was a lot more happy as a result. So that was sort of a leap of faith, you know. I didn't want to be someone's stupid bass player. Now I'm my own stupid bass player.
WAITING TO PANIC TW: There was a lull between record companies. The first record [Humanistic] was on Extasy - I don't know if you know about that company, but we were basically the poster-child for the implosion of an indie label. I came off the road in 2002, the label's folding, and I'm like, well, I'm just gonna go back and give this my best shot and we'll get another deal. It seemed highly unlikely, but we ended up doing it. And there was just a lull in there where nobody was interested. I had attorneys not returning my phone calls - that kinda stuff. It felt like, I'm just waiting around and I'm really anxious. So that was a song of frustration that was written and demoed all in one day - it was a song that just came out of me in like eight hours. We also put an EP out [The Reverb EP] and on the EP is the version of that demo that I did in one day. It doesn't happen [like that] very often. Usually I build bed tracks and come back to it a few weeks later and add something, and then come back a couple of days later. This one was all in one shot.
HUNTING TW: My friend Ross Golan, who has his own band Ross Golan and Molehead, had been following the wake of the relationship. He's like, "You just gotta write her a song and use her name." And I'm like, nah, nah, it's not covered enough. And he's like, "No, just do it. Go for it." So I did. I wrote this song and I wrote it for her for her birthday and I used her name, which is in the first lyric of the song, which is "Ginny." So I just went for it and wrote it. It was basically a birthday gift, and it was basically saying, like, you know, "Oops!" [Laughs] It didn't get me very far, but I like the song. We're friends, she's a good girl, absolutely, but back at that time, it was kinda like, "Erraaghhh! Here's a song!" But I like the song and I just think it was one of those times where I was really putting myself out there, and I know she liked it, too. But then, I think that's a myth where you just write a song and all of a sudden the girl just says, "Oh! Okay!" But, you know, hey. There it is. It's on the record.
That's the romantic notion of how they'll react to the song, at least.
TW: Exactly. And I'm really glad we're past that whole ironic phase, which I was part of with The Eels, where everything was super ironic and we'd play "The Macarena" on stage - [sarcastically] and that was funny! I'm glad we're through all that stuff, even though I was still a Beck fan when he was doing all that stuff, too. But I like being sincere and sappy and romantic. I kinda think that's a great thing.
ARMED TO THE TEETH TW: This is one of the first songs written when we came off the road and I had a lot of momentum. If you look at the state of the industry you can see a lot of corporations that seem to have to buy everything in sight. They just have to own everything, and to what purpose? Does it really make the industry much better? No. There's fewer outlets, there's a lot more gatekeepers. They want to buy stuff and it just kinda makes things bad for everybody. All the radio stations play the same shit - except for Indie 103.1 and KCRW in L.A. In spite of it all, I'm just gonna try to do my best and have a career anyway. When we came off the road I felt like I had a lot of momentum. Performing live is inspiring to writing, so it was just the whole idea of, "Alright, now that I have one record under my belt, I'm gonna really go for it in spite of all the forces that be." Even though they're pretty much indifferent to us, [laughs] their actions do affect us. It's sort of a song of bravado.
Why did you also choose "Armed To The Teeth" as the name of the album, too, which, in turn, implies it as the overall theme?
TW: Yeah, which is funny, since I kinda decided on that theme early on, thinking I was gonna go in a certain way, but then, like I said, two-thirds of the record is love songs. So "Armed To The Teeth" doesn't really fit in a certain way, but I also liked it just because [of] that idea of, like, now I'm really ready to make a record, and also I think it reflects the state of the country a little bit. Everything's a little bit aggressive, we're at war, and I thought it was sort of timely in that way
SOONER OR LATER TW: "Sooner Or Later" is another one of those tracks that was written after we got signed, so it's a newer song. I mentioned that sort of double time drum loop thing with "Lethal Killers" - this is the same thing. It's a half time drum loop that I nudged in one direction and then put in another track and nudge it in the other, then "boom," it's double time. And I like that, it's a good effect. It really sets up this kind of overlapping, rolling sound that a real drummer can't do. And things flam a little bit, and I really like that feel, so this song was constructed in the same manner where you have a rolling drum loop and then you put over a couple of guitar parts here and there and all of a sudden you got a song - I think this song is over six minutes. This is, um, I guess it's a couple things. Lyrically, it's sort of saying, like, whatever you do or whatever you say, there's no point in hiding anything because it all comes out in the end - which is the tagline in the chorus. There's no hiding. And in the verse it says, "Sooner or later / It's all coming down." In some way or another, whether you acknowledge it or if it just eats at your self, you can't really get away with anything. It's sort of fatalistic that way, but also in terms of, like, seeing how I also look at as a bigger picture of, like, politically, and since we're at war right now, it seems like things are getting a little scary. And that's kind of like one of those doomsday scenarios. If you look around a little you can really freak yourself out if you're reading about, like, bio-warfare and things like that. So a lot of this talk about "smoking gun in the shape of a mushroom cloud" and all that, it sort of brought up for me a lot of doomsday scenarios. So it's two-fold: it's that doomsday scenario, in terms of as far as the world is concerned, and then, personally, if you do stupid shit then you're eventually gonna pay for it somehow.
SAILING SEAS TW: Like "Hunting," this is probably the most direct, out-there storytelling song. Instead of using her [real] name, it's switched to "Holly," which is in the chorus. So it's another one of those songs talking straight to somebody. And there's a lot of details in there that I wouldn't talk about in normal conversation. That's the funny thing about songwriting where I wouldn't talk about this, but then I can put it in this song and you can still hear it and you still understand, but it's sort of masked a little bit. It's presented in a certain way where it's somehow okay to say that when you're in a major key or something. Because like, the second verse is about pretending you're outside a room listening to somebody [you love] have sex [with someone else], and that's a situation to put yourself into to really torture yourself. I created this scenario in my head and I put it in a song, and it's kinda brutal, but the [beat of the] song is upbeat and happy.
RENEGADE TW: This is a sample-based type song [with] drum loops. The cello was originally a Bjork sample and we replaced it. This one is sort of hard to explain. To me it’s just sort of like just a creation, because some of the record is social commentary, and I think there's a lot of that in this song, and it's like little snippets and ideas, and not necessarily one unifying idea. I think it's just kind of a song based on looking around and taking stock of things. This song in particular isn't really even about anything. It's just, like, observations, pretty much. And, oh, by the way, Billy Howerdel, the guitarist from A Perfect Circle, is playing guitar on that song. He jumped on that track and he's the one that makes it sound scary.
MAYBE THEN SOMEDAY TW: That was one of the first songs written in the wake of the breakup. It was one of those kind of "well-it-just-didn't-work-out-but-maybe-one-day-we'll-see-what-happens" kind of things. Because the circumstances are such that it wasn't gonna happen immediately so I was kinda like, well, we'll see. I don't have much to say about that; it's just grouped in with "songs about her."
GOODBYE SONG TW: That was also written when there was not a lot going on for me and we hadn't really nailed down the record deal. She [Tommy's ex-girlfriend] always thought she was bad luck - she'd show up and bad things would start happening - so she thought it was her fault that I hadn't got a deal. She actually moved away and soon as she did, we got a deal. [Laughs] I think it's funny to sort of say, like the first line of the song is "I'm not washed up / And you're not bad luck for anyone," so, you know, get off the ledge, really. And it's just one of those things; it's one of those yearning songs. I think with a lot of those songs there's a certain amount of effort spent on presenting evidence, like, "Look, I know this is how you feel, but look at all the other stuff." It's almost like making a case for your self [in a song]. And like I said, it didn't get me far, but it's still a good venting process. And I sort of realize when I say things like, "I wrote this for her" or whatever, it's not really for her. It's more self-indulgent to get this stuff out. And in a way you're saying, "Yeah, I wrote this song for you," but no, you wrote it for yourself so you could say things that you felt like saying. So I realize that and I think I realized that while I was writing them, but my job is to write songs so you take from what's around you to make it happen.

2024.05.19 10:05 kat_brady My (30F) family asked my partner (29) to stay home from funeral because we’re a queer couple

My grandpa just died, and his service is this week. He was very religious and had conservative beliefs. By the time I came out to my family, his dementia was bad enough that it was difficult to hold a conversation with him. Therefore, my partner never met him.
I plan to fly back for the service, and my partner wanted to come as well to support me. My mom has asked me if my partner could skip the service to avoid any drama since it is happening at a conservative church and since it might upset my grandma, who would be meeting my partner for the first time.
My immediate family did not respond well to me coming out, so while this request upsets me, it is not a complete surprise. While we’ve made strides over the last three years, making sure my partner feels welcome and included in my family has been a constant battle and a point of tension between us.
I never want to do anything that would make my partner feel excluded or further distance them from feeling like family. But I can see that this is a less than ideal situation for them to meet my grandma and my mom was super apologetic to even be asking. Overall, I’m mostly just upset that I constantly have to advocate for my relationship and fight for the respect and the validation that straight couples in my family never have to work for.
How do I decide whether this is a fair request from my mom, or if this would be me siding with my family over my relationship? I’m having a difficult time navigating the pressure I’m feeling over this while also grieving the loss of my grandpa.
TLDR: should I tell my family that my partner will be coming to the funeral, or ask my partner if they can stay home?

2024.05.19 10:04 Crafty_Sample1682 Maplestory (GMS and MSEA) Monster Life Discharge Macro using G HUB Lua script

Hi, I know this may be against game policy and may bring criticism. But Monster Life is over soon, so I thought those in hurry of making level 40 farm in MSEA and GMS would NEED this. No meso cubes but meso caps, why play nice...
This is a video of what fully scripted auto care & discharge should look like : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZj9XyKVERM&t=1s . However, I'm not a software engineer or any coding related expert; so, my script i'm sharing is only discharge part (you would either have to find a different or make this better if you want it to be fully automatic like the video)
Credits to 경제분석박사 for sharing this script https://www.inven.co.kboard/maple/2302/15022 loooong ago. I edited my scrlpt based on this. Having said this, I don't take any troubleshooting questions; I'm no expert (if I did it, you 200% can fix it)
So before using this, a few requirements and basics:
  1. You need logitech mouse to connect to G HUB
  2. You need about 12,000,000 Waru in your Monster Life for fully leveling to 40 (More if you don't have Pharaoh Yeti <- btw always lock this to not mistakenly discharge it)
The basics
  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyg93s_XPdw . watch this video to set up Lua features. I didn't scan and make new profile for Maplestory because when it runs it turns to desktop profile and glitched. So, I recommend using Desktop profile as it is.
  2. The OutCount = n (*at 26 now) is how many you want to discharge in one run. Change "n" as per your monsters out
  3. You may notice in the scrlpt , there is CarePet function. I used it to hit additional enter after RemovePet function (the discharge), so manually "Auto Take Care" first before using this (buying C-grade box and opening them is also manual)
  4. I put the Monster Life in full screen and adjusted the absolute mouse position to click the check box that appear in the center when discharge was clicked. Monster Life is usually 1024 * 768 but if yours is somehow not, then you may need to either adjust screen size or the scrlpt itself "MoveMouseTo(31065, 36865)" <--- it means (x,y) or (left to right, low to high)
  5. Hover your mouse cursor to the first monster to be discharge (one right to Pharaoh Yeti) then press 5 (4:08 of the lua intro video)to run it as shown in the photo below
In the lua script code dialog copy the script below and load it
count = 0 -- 조합카운트
OutCount = 26 --돌보기후 펫방출 반복횟수

OutputLogMessage("event = %s, count = %d, arg = %dn", event, count,arg)

2024.05.19 10:04 thedarkestfaerie Is it no longer safe to use accounts where you don't have access to the original email?

I'm truly at a loss, I've had multiple absolutely nonsensical experiences with Support over the last two weeks. I'm convinced my tickets are not being read and being responded to with templates/by a bot.
My latest grievance: I got a forced logout and PW reset, probably because I tried playing on my phone. The PW reset email doesn't work, okay, fine. I'll send a ticket, no problem. Nope! Denied access because I couldn't send a ticket from the original email I created the account from in childhood, even though I literally purchased a large amount of NC directly before being locked out and can tell them what I spent it on. I even had video footage of the lockout happening in real time, because I was screen recording (I was that excited to make my new NC UCs on my side account!). None of this was looked at; the ticket was shut down and I was told the "info didn't match the account." Did not receive specification on what info. My email has been changed for about 8 years; I still have the email Neopets sent me when I changed it from the OG to my current one. There is nothing valuable on the account, just normal-named pets, no NP or items. And now NC I can't use.
I'm having another account issue where I cannot be helped because I have no access to the original email as well. My other open ticket concerns a very old account, so it's more understandable. But being permanently locked out of something I was just using, and have no problem using for 8 years? Why can't they see that it's me? I don't understand why we were ever allowed to change email addresses if our current email address is not respected.
I am left concerned that I should abandon all accounts where I don't have original email access. This would mean getting rid of almost everything, and I don't know how to navigate that safely with the Neopass minefield. Even when Neopass is deemed safe to use, I am scared to hook up accounts to it that lack the original email access. I'm baffled, frazzled, flustered, about to give up on this site. Am I just really late to the party in learning that we shouldn't use old accounts without OG emails anymore?
Moreover, are other people really struggling to receive coherent answers from Support right now? I am terrified to spend any more money here if I can't receive specific responses to Support inquiries. Right now, it feels like there's no chance of any of my issues being resolved.

2024.05.19 10:03 Pneuma001 The Primordial

The dungeon master described the party stepping through the wizard's portal into the plane of Elemental Chaos. "Before you lies a tempestuous sea of ever-changing terrain and clashing elements. The portal has opened onto a planetoid floating in the sea of shifting energies. Standing a ways away is a giant humanoid figure that seems to be made out of some of the same energies."
"Giant?" Sara asked?
"Yeah, it's like fifty feet tall. Looking upon its face makes your gut wrench as its face is a pool of ever-churning distorted energies. Make a save versus fear."
The players snatched up dice bags. Twenty-sided dice were rolled all around the table, but Mary, sitting to the right of Sara, noticed that Sara hesitated.
"What did you call these things again?" Sara asked. "Primordials? I didn't really imagine that they'd be so ugly or terrifying... or big."
"Oh, fine," the dungeon master responded. "Ambriel the rogue can have advantage on this check. What is your roll?"
Sara picked up an extra dice, tossed them into the bowl on the table and squinted at them in the dim light of the basement. "I got an eight." she said, frowning.
"Sorry, Ambriel and anyone else that got below a ten is afraid of the figure and will be at a disadvantage for initiative. The figure lets out a scream that sounds like an avalanche in a hurricane. Roll initiative!"
"Nineteen!" the boy across the table said. "Fifteen!" said another after rolling some dice. "I have a plus two, and I only got a twelve." said Mary.
"What about you Sara?" the dungeon master asked.
"Um, I don't want to fight it. Can I try talking to it?"
"I guess so," said the dungeon master, frowning. "What will you try saying to it?
"Well first," Sara started, "Is it at its house?"
The dungeon master and the boys across the table erupted into laughter. The dungeon master managed to stop laughing and reply. "These things don't have houses. They just live outside in the chaos."
"Oh." Sara looked disappointed. "I thought they would have houses." and then quieter. "Maybe a family."
The dungeon master laughed again. "What are you going to say to it?"
"I guess I'll say: 'Greetings friend! Do you know which way it is to the Dark Wizard Malik's tower?'"
The dungeon master laughed yet again. "It doesn't seem to understand what you're saying. It screams again and then attacks. Do you have your initiative number yet?"
Mary had been glaring at the dungeon master. He finally noticed her expression and slouched down, a sheepish look crossing his face as if he knew he was going to be in trouble.
Sara frowned, rolled her dice, and then stated "Six."
The party proceeded to fight with the primordial and Sara participated but wasn't really enjoying the situation. After the beast fell the party raced to loot its corpse.
"What did we find?" the boy across the table asked eagerly.
"Nothing, of course!" the dungeon master announced with some glee in his voice. "The primordial's body has evaporated and merged with the endless chaos around you."
"Well that's at least one thing you got right." Sara said.
"What do you mean?" Mary asked.
"Oh, forget it." Sara responded.
The end of the combat signaled the end of the evening since it was already past eight. The friends scooped dice and character sheets back into their bags, cleaned up the snacks, and said their goodbyes for the evening. Sara walked up the stairs and into the front yard with the other two boys. Chris's mom was there to pick up him and Tyler. She waved at them as they drove away and then started toward her own house just down the street.
The walk was only five minutes, if she took her time, and she had walked this street a hundred times before. She was enjoying the breeze and the crisp night air and didn't notice when the footsteps behind her started. When she noticed them she'd picked up her pace but they grew uncomfortably close. Sara spun around and was faced with a figure in the shadows behind her. It was only a few feet away but she couldn't make out a face.
"What do you want?" She asked the shadow. It did not respond. It did, however, step forward into the glow of the nearby street light. Still, its form appeared like a pitch black hole in the world; a torn place in space the shape and size of a man. The shadow reached toward Sara and she knew that this was an undead being. It had been hoping it could claim the life force of a human this evening; to pull her into the shadow realm and keep her there till she had faded away and become another shadow. Unfortunately for the shadow, she was not a victim that could be claimed so easily.
Sara dropped her book back and grabbed the shadow's arm, glancing down the street to make sure it was clear. Then she released her human disguise and pulled the shadow closer. She stared into the colorless void where its eyes should have been and the shadow stared back into the ever-changing distortion that her face had become. Lightning arced across Sara's skin that now appeared to be made of a roiling mass of stone and waves of pure water.
Sara's outline blurred and her humanoid form faded almost completely, leaving a cloud of elements ever fighting for position, yet she didn't let go of the shadow. The shadow was in a panic now, struggling and desperately trying to free itself from her grasp, to no avail. Sara pulled the shadow inside her cloud and it was ripped and torn by every element until it was gone in just a moment.
Sara concentrated for a moment and reached a human hand out of her cloud of chaos, and picked up her book bag. She formed an arm and shoulder to put the bag on, then a head and some feet and finally squeezed the last bit of her cloud into the shape of a green jacket. "Was she wearing a blue jacket before or a green one?" she asked herself. "I guess it doesn't really matter." she answered, and changed the jacket to blue.
***************************
Sara, Chris and Tyler walked up the stairs out of the basement, leaving Mary and the dungeon master still sitting at the table. The dungeon master was shuffling some papers, his mind racing with ideas for the next session. Mary stared at him, arms crossed and after a moment she finally spoke. "That was mean, Brian."
Brian looked up from his papers. "What?" he asked defensively with a worried look on his face.
"The primordial we met tonight in the game. That wasn't cool." She mocked an imitation of Brian: "It just lives outside in the chaos. Its sooooo ugly and scary." She crossed her arms again and stared daggers at him. Brian was silent and just looked down at his lap.
"I'm sorry," he said quietly. "I thought we were supposed to act like we didn't know..."
"You know she's not going to keep playing with us if you keep being an asshole, right?"
Brian frowned and was quiet.
"Don't you like her playing with us?" Mary continued. "She's a way better rogue than Johnathan was. If she leaves and Johnathan finds out we have room at the table then we might have to let him join the party again. Is that what you want?"
Brian shuddered. "No. I do like her playing with us. She is a pretty awesome rogue." They sat in silence for a minute. "I'll make it better next week. I have some ideas."
"Good." Mary stood up and walked to the stairs. "We'd better not be fighting a changeling or a dragon next week." she said with a laugh.
The outside air was cool and crisp; the twilight had faded already and the streetlights were on. Chris and Tyler had left already; their mom always picked them up. Sara lived at the end of the street. Mary looked down the street toward Sara's house and near the other end of the street she saw Sara, almost home. Mary shivered as she watched as a shadow approached Sara. Mary then watched as Sara discorporated into a chaotic mass of lightning arcs and flame over a roiling mass of rocks and water. In another moment she had absorbed the shadow and it was gone. Those shadows gave her the creeps and she was glad another one was gone. Mary's parents had told her many times how they were lucky to have the Smiths living on their street. "Good girl." Mary whispered as she watched Sara pick up her book bag and put on her human disguise for the rest of her walk home. Mary walked back into the house.
***************************
Sara reached the end of the street, hopped up the porch stair to her front door and walked inside, locking the door behind her. Inside, her mother and father were lounging on the sofa watching a reality TV show together. Her dad waved a friendly tendril of water at her and turned his attention back to the show. Sara's mom floated up and across the room, her pattern of fire and stone indicated concern.
"Is everything okay honey?"
"Well" Sara started slowly. "In tonight's game we finally met a primordial, but the party just killed it. The dungeon master thought it looked scary." Sara dismissed her human disguise, released a small puff of smoke and slouched a bit. "Are they ever going to accept us for who we are?"
Sara's mom wrapped her in a hug. "Your friends do like you dear. It doesn't matter that you don't look like they do."
"Yeah, I guess you're right mom. Thanks." She brightened up a bit, her waves of water crashing in a happy whirlpool. She started up the stairs to her room but halfway up she turned around and said "Oh yeah, I got another shadow on the way home." Her mom, who had already returned to the sofa, crashed a tiny avalanche of stone in approval and then returned to watching the show.

2024.05.19 10:03 strange_place123 Disturbingly high emotions that last maybe a week, two weeks at best? Then burn out

As of maybe the last several months, it's become common for me to have a string of really good days. But they don't last.
And when I say really good, I mean REALLY good. I'm on my A game, I'm confident, I'm social, I'm hilarious... yeah I still have a low hum of depression/anxiety in the background but it's very easy to manage.
However, it's not always easy to manage these good moods and I can get so swept up in it that I accidentally burn myself out - it's like my brain short circuits and forces me to shut down.

Recently I had about two weeks of very high emotions and was the most social I'd been in a while. I got to a point where I could manage it fairly well, but my emotions (good and bad) were still very sensitive.
One day I only slept for 2 hours yet went clubbing the night after because I had so much energy. That has never happened.
After the two weeks, I became overstimulated at work and felt very self destructive, anxious, then so depressed and exhausted that I couldn't sit up and had to take two days off.
Is it just burn out? Maybe I should have socialised less, despite really wanting to? But I don't like ignoring my desires.
Is this something anyone else has had? I just want to understand how it works and if I can do anything to manage it better.
Context:
I'm an adult, female, not on any new meds or new drugs, and may also have autism and ADHD.
People do tend to overstimulate me, but I'm usually a lot better at managing my social battery.

2024.05.19 10:03 JerryCarrots2 Mirage Buff Concept

Buff 1

His tactical now has access to switching decoys to different things. He can switch the decoys to Players, Deathboxes, Abilites, and Droppers.
Holding the emote button while looking at a decoy pulls up a sub menu to change it to any of these things.
Once he has selected one of the options, he can again look at the decoy and press the emote button to open up a sub-sub menu that allows him to control them.

Sub Option 1: Players

Mirage can switch his decoys to be either himself or his teammates. The sub-sub menu for this allows him to control their motion; he can change them to being normal, being downed, running randomly, or shooting randomly. He can no longer make the decoys follow his movements.

Sub Option 2: Deathboxes

Mirage can also switch his decoys to be deathboxes. The sub-sub menu for this allows him to change the rarity of the them, being common, rare, epic, legendary, and mythic. To make it a little more balanced, each one is visibly a decoy and each one is progressively more visible than the last.
The way their visibility is shown is by making them appear more like a hologram rather than a deathbox.
When a player tries to interact with the deathbox, it will disappear and play the decoy effect on them.

Sub Option 3: Abilties

Mirage can switch his decoys to be SPECIFIC teammate abilities- I’ll provide a list at the end of this post, but there’s only a few available that he can do because some of them can’t be displayed as a decoy e.g. pathfinder’s grapple.
This type is used a little differently compared to the rest. It could be used to attract attention to one area so mirage and his team can push them unexpectedly. Sounds from decoy abilities will be louder than normal to attract more attention but to also act as a difference between normal abilties

Sub Option 4: Droppers

Droppers are the Care Package and the Replicator, thought I should mention that in case no one knew what they were
Mirage can switch his decoys to be droppers, with the sub-sub menu allowing him to switch between CPs and Replics, but similar to Deathboxes they are have visible differences. This difference would be that the both emit a bright blue light, and trying to interact with the will trigger the decoy effect.

2024.05.19 10:02 Creepy-Oil8205 ADHD360 - prescription following titration

I’m about to complete titration via ADHD360 and commence the battle for shared care…
In the likely event that my local ICB and GP (who thinks ADHD is a fad) do not support my shared care request I will obviously remain on private prescriptions. I expected this from the start and the medicine is a massive priority for me. My script is 70mg Elvanse.
My question is: for folks who have completed titration and are stable, is your regular prescription for a 6 week supply of meds? I stabilised on 70mg quite quickly so my last titration prescription is for 6 weeks. Is that the norm after titration? 6 weeks of Elvanse for me has just cost a few pence shy of £200 … my neuro brain is trying to factor medication costs into my new shiny budget that I’m trying very hard to follow after years of financial chaos and I’m trying to work out how often I’ll be paying for the meds. I know the costs even out over a year but it’s more about organisation (the fact I am even planning this in advance makes me smile- thank you Elvanse!)
6 weeks is brilliant for me as I don’t have to go through the pain of prescription admin/ensuring I’m around to sign for the parcel as often! I suspect prescriptions wouldn’t be issued for longer periods due to the nature of the drug?
Thanks in advance!

2024.05.19 10:02 Pretty_Base_1549 AITA Only One Excluded From The Wedding

Background: I have a group of high school friends that I've been close with for nearly 15 years. We are a core group of girls (5 of us), and we also have a best guy friend as part of our larger group (let's call him Joe). Over the years we've all made a good effort to see one another - including a ski trip over covid times - even though we all live across the country. We all lead busy lives, but it's "pick up where we left off" vibes whenever we reconnect.
Joe got engaged about 2 years ago and it's one of the first weddings of our group. Us girls have all been thrilled about it. Joe and I were complete besties in high school and I'd say for the past 10 years (post college) Joe and I have had a relationship of celebrating birthdays & chatting every few months/ seeing one another when we can. He's even stayed with me a few times while in town. Though we've distanced a bit since high school days, I've always considered him a life long friend.
The past few months chats with my girlfriends have gotten very quiet re: Joes wedding. I'd casually ask if anyone had gotten more info or save the dates and every time the girls would deflect. I caught wind of a joint bachelo bachelorette party (which at first didn't bother me) until I realized all my girlfriends were going. And of course, a bach party usually means wedding plans are in full motion.
The other week I point blank asked my friend if wedding invites had gone out. She said yes and that she's been very confused/ uncomfortable about everything esp. because Joe recently stayed with her and said it would be "eye opening" for me when I realized I wasn't invited to the wedding.
I was completely BAFFLED to hear this. My immediate thought was "what did I do?!"
I decide to call Joe. We chat for a FULL hour catching up, laughing, I even mention his wedding and how it's all going...and nothing. Right as he's about to hang up I realize that he has no intention of telling me! So I point blank bring up. Now or never.
Joe proceeds to tell me that he has no intention of inviting me to the wedding because he sees me as a "surface level friend". He said that he wouldn't be sure if he even sent me an invite and RSVP'd "Yes" that I would show up. And that over recent years there have been times I didn't show up IRL. He specifically mentioned his fiances grad party from 3 years ago that I wasn't able to make it to.
I can own that in recent years I've been very career driven and ambitious, but to me our relationship has always been stable and good. He told me he's been harboring resentment over the years and just tallying up all the times he's felt I've dropped the ball - I even found out he'd call my other girlfriends to vent about it.
Ever since our call he's seeking repair and feels validated that I do (and have the entire time!) cared about our relationship...but tbh I've just felt horrible. To not only discover I'm excluded from the wedding but been left in the dark all these years about how someone really feels about me HURTS. Not to mention knowing my closest girlfriends never brought anything up? It's basically making me question everything, even some of my friendships with my girlfriends. I value honesty in ALL my relationships and this feels shady/ crosses a boundary on how I conduct friendships. It feels...so high school...
AITA for not showing up or dropping the ball in a friendship?? Is this worth repair?
